description With the rapid development of virtual reality (VR) technology, this paper proposes an access point (AP) correlation method based on VR user behavior awareness to address the problem of how current AP correlation methods only focus on the performance improvements of ordinary users and ignore the impact of VR user behavior on service quality. This paper analyzes the AP association method under the coverage scenario of a multi-access point (multi-AP) scenario environment and controls the performance improvement of VR user APs or APs under the access controller (AC) by association. Firstly, the VR network application scenario and system model were constructed, and secondly, the user behavior was sensed by analyzing the viewing habits of users. Then, the VR user association problem based on VR user behavior perception was transformed into a “many-to-many” matching problem between VR user devices and APs, and the generalized multidimensional multiple choice knapsack (GMMKP) model was established to solve the problem using the backpack problem theory; the suboptimal solution algorithm was selected to obtain the best VR user AP association strategy. The experimental results show by simulation that the proposed algorithm in this paper performed better in terms of the AP load balancing and average network download latency compared to the comparison algorithms.
