I have already gave to the access point the same SSID. I think that i need to change few setting to connect to the nearest access point
With two access points and the same SSID, a phone will not do a good job of picking - just what it sees.
Consider a central but stronger single wireless access point.

do they appear as two wifi networks - extended (Wifi01, Wifi02) or appear one network - Hotspot?
I don't know of any phones that natively support connecting to the nearest AP of a WLAN having more than one, A high-end managed wireless network will present itself as a single WLAN to devices wanting to connect and will hand off such devices to different APs within itself transparently and seamlessly. However, the key point here is that this is done by the WLAN and not by the client device.
Give the Access points the same SSID and the iPhone may change or you may need to disconnect and reconnect to the stronger point.
