Embodiment
The present invention is applied to have the WLAN of center management module, be to comprise a center management module in the system architecture of WLAN, its function comprises the information of collecting each AP in its management domain, as scan channel information and Radio Resource operating position, specify Radio Resource that each AP uses etc.
For example, in the integral WLAN shown in Figure 1, each AP provides the wireless access service as the access point of wireless service to user terminal; Each AP carries out the mutual of data and control information by specific communication protocol and AC (AccessController, access controller); AC couples together wireless network and core network by routing device, and AC can also insert catv terminal in addition.AC is responsible for the data forwarding and the control of whole wireless network as the center management module of wlan network.
To distributed wlan network, can finish information gathering and the resource distribution function of each AP among the WLAN with an AP as center management module.
In addition, the management domain of WLAN can comprise the AC group that is made of a plurality of AC, and promptly a plurality of AC control connected AP respectively, and AC carries out unified information gathering and resource allocation as the center management module of management domain to the AP that is inserted by a plurality of AC.
Need to prove that AC or AP as center management module among the present invention can be an equipment, also can be management equipments in logic that is made of a plurality of equipment.For the purpose of convenient, below be that the situation of management domain center management module is that example describes with AC in the integral WLAN.
In existing WLAN, according to setting or the instruction of AC to AP, AP in the management domain can report variety of event to AC at running, for example scan channel result, radio link layer incident etc., and AC can obtain network resource information on current each AP by reported event.
Among the present invention,, can draw network topology structure and the Radio Resource user mode of AP in the management domain by analyzing these network resource informations.As previously mentioned, the signal that the Radio Resource of an AP use may influence its neighbor AP covers and data throughput, therefore to make finite wireless resources, as reasonable disposition on a plurality of AP such as wireless channel, just need determine the priority of resource allocation order of each AP according to the information such as network topology structure of AP, preferentially obtain Radio Resource to guarantee the crucial AP in the network.When network resource information changes, can dynamically adjust the resource allocation order of AP, and carry out resource allocation again.
Can comprise a radio on the AP, also can comprise a plurality of radio, radio is a radio frequency chip physically normally, can use wireless channel independently to finish the access of Station.In essence, RRM and configuration to as if the radio of AP, among the present invention with radio as management unit.To having only the AP of a radio, radio and AP have same implication.Among the present invention on AC the current network resource of each radio and current optimization order in the domain maintenance management, and be followed successively by radio in proper order according to this optimization and carry out resource allocation.
Radio resource management method of the present invention mainly comprises following 3 steps:
Steps A: receive the incident that radio reports, comprise the network resource information of this radio in the reporting information.Can be on AC the current network resource of each radio in the storage administration territory, when the network resource information that receives changes, upgrade corresponding stored information.
The network resource information that radio reports may be different with the difference of reported event, can comprise the information relevant with network topology, as find new non-management radio (not in management domain); Can also comprise the work state information relevant, too much message retransmission events etc. take place as Station with the Radio Resource operating position.To reflecting the reported event of network topology change, need to adjust the optimization order of radio in the management domain according to the network resource information that reports.
The user can handle which network resource information according to applied environment and the network construction characteristic decision of WLAN, and carries out which kind of processing.For example, which reported event the user can determine to receive, upgrade the optimization order of radio according to which network resource information of these incidents, whether adjust resource distribution, adjust resource distribution etc. when which type of condition is operating state satisfy according to work state information.
Step B: the optimization order of upgrading radio according to current network resource.In other words, safeguarding the sequence list of current online radio in the management domain on AC, can be its Resources allocation according to the ordering of radio in step C one by one.
The user can determine to upgrade the condition of radio optimization order.For example, can when receiving the setting incidents such as non-management AP that AP starts, discovery is new, upgrade the optimization order of radio; A timer can be set, upgrade the optimization order of radio with the setting cycle of timer; To adopting transmitting power to optimize the WLAN of timer, channel selection optimization timer or other timers, can also utilize certain existing timer, carry out the optimization sequential update of radio according to its cycle; Can also adopt the combination of aforesaid way.
The user can select diverse ways to determine radio optimization order at the network construction characteristic of different WLAN.In the following method that the present invention recommends,, can learn the neighborhood of radio in the management domain, the channel information of each radio based on the scan channel result of AP.
Each radio is responsible for collecting the signal strength signal intensity that receives other radio scan channel messages, and with this reporting signal strength; Surpass certain threshold value if radio receives the signal strength signal intensity of another radio, then think these two radio neighbours each other.The neighbours of radio can comprise non-management radio and illegal radio, and non-management radio refers to be positioned at this radio the legal radio of different management domains, as the radio of other enterprises.Illegal radio refers to not belong to this management domain and does not belong to known other management domains, may cause signal to disturb and/or the radio of security threat to this management domain.
When finding the neighborhood of radio, definite networking mode that needs to adapt to WLAN of its signal strength threshold.Zones of different has different networking demands, such as in the zones such as meeting room of enterprise, often disposes by highdensity radio and obtains high data throughput, and the signal strength threshold between these radio can be provided with higherly; And for zones such as rest areas, the distance between general radio is bigger, more stresses signal and covers rather than data throughput, and what the signal strength threshold between these radio was then passable is provided with lowlyer.
After receiving the scan channel result of AP, can adopt the optimization order of flow process decision radio shown in Figure 2.
Step S201: neighbours radio and the channel information of determining current online management radio in the management domain.
Step S202: whether the managing neighbor number of judging radio is identical, if change step S204; If not, then execution in step S203 is provided with the more radio of managing neighbor and is first optimization order.
Step S204: to having the radio of identical managing neighbor number, judge whether the regional value of each radio is identical, if change step S206; If not, execution in step S205, the radio that the setting area thresholding is bigger are the optimization order of elder generation.
With the managing neighbor number addition of all managing neighbor radio of a radio, the value of gained is the regional value of this radio.The regional value of radio has reflected the network area size that radio influenced.Radio can directly influence the resource distribution of its neighbours radio, thereby the neighbours radio of its neighbours radio is produced remote-effects.The regional value of a radio is big more, is subjected to the radio of these radio remote-effects many more in the management domain, represents that the resource distribution of this radio affects bigger network area, can be its preferential resource allocation.
Step S206: to having the radio of identical managing neighbor number and same zone thresholding, judge whether the non-management neighbours number of each radio is identical, if change step S208; If not, execution in step S207 is provided with the less radio of non-management neighbours number and is first optimization order.
Step S208: to having the radio of identical managing neighbor number, same zone thresholding and identical non-management neighbours number, judge whether that this management domain need eliminate 802.11 and disturb, if, execution in step S209; If not, change step S211.
Whether this management domain needs to eliminate 802.11 is disturbed and can be preset on AC by the user.
Step S209: whether non-802.11 annoyance levels of judging each radio with identical managing neighbor number, same zone thresholding and identical non-management neighbours number are identical, if change step S211; If not, execution in step S210 is provided with the lower radio of non-802.11 annoyance levels and is first optimization order.
Non-802.11 annoyance levels can obtain from the information of scan channel.
Step S211: it is the optimization order of elder generation that MAC (Media Access Control, medium access control system) the bigger or less radio in address is set.
Below illustrate the concrete application of the method for above-mentioned definite optimization order.Suppose that in the integral WLAN, AC receives the scan channel result of AP1, AP2, AP3, AP4, AP5 and AP6, AP7 wherein and AP8 are the non-management neighbours.The individual radio that includes only of above-mentioned 6 AP homogeneous.As shown in the table based on the related data that scan channel obtained:
AP The neighbor AP tabulation The managing neighbor number Regional value Non-management neighbours number
AP1 AP2,AP3,AP4,AP5 4 7 0
AP2 AP1 1 4 0
AP3 AP1,AP4,AP7 2 6 1
AP4 AP1,AP3 2 6 0
AP5 AP1,AP6,AP8 2 5 1
AP6 AP5 1 2 0
In the last table, the regional value of each AP is got by the managing neighbor number addition of its managing neighbor.As AP1, its managing neighbor is AP2, AP3, AP4 and AP5, because AP7 and AP8 are not managing neighbors, AP2, AP3, AP4 and AP5 managing neighbor number separately is respectively 1,2,2,2, and the regional value that addition can get AP1 is 7.Be example again with AP3, the neighbor AP of AP3 is AP1, AP4 and AP7, and wherein managing neighbor is AP1 and AP4, and AP1 and AP4 managing neighbor number separately is respectively 4 and 2, so the regional value of AP3 is 6.
According to flow process shown in Figure 2, according to the managing neighbor number, determine that AP1 is the first order node, AP3, AP4 and AP5 are the second order node, and AP2 and AP6 are the 5th order node; Consider the regional value of AP3, AP4 and AP5, can determine that AP5 is the 4th order node; Relatively the non-management neighbours number of AP3 and AP4 can determine that AP3 is the 3rd order node, and AP4 is the second order node; Relatively the regional value of AP2 and AP6 can determine that AP2 is the 5th order node, and AP6 is the 6th order node.Need to prove that the relevant parameter of listing all AP in this example is intended to be convenient to describe, and is not that actual algorithm is realized required.In concrete algorithm is realized, can only calculate moving flow process necessary parameter shown in Figure 2, for example, can not calculate regional value and the non-management neighbours number of AP1, the non-management neighbours number that equally also can not add up AP2 and AP6.
The neighborhood of above-mentioned 6 AP and resource allocation path see also Fig. 3, in the drawings the AP that connects with dotted line neighborhood each other.When resource allocation, carry out one by one successively according to the order of AP1, AP4, AP3, AP5, AP2, AP6; Promptly after the resource allocation of finishing AP1, (1) arrival AP4 is its Resources allocation along the path, and resource optimization is carried out to AP3, AP5, AP2 and AP6 successively in (2), path (3), path (4) and path (5) along the path again.
Need to prove, above-mentioned definite optimization flow process in proper order to the present invention's recommendation, whether consider regional value, non-management neighbours number, non-802.11 annoyance levels of radio, and pay the utmost attention to wherein which and can determine by the user according to concrete network application environment.MAC Address size judgement sequencing by radio then can be used as last Consideration usually.For example, the non-management neighbours number that the user can only consider radio is consideration of regional value and non-802.11 annoyance levels not, also can pay the utmost attention to non-management neighbours number, consideration of regional value again when the managing neighbor number is identical.
Can be on AC the current optimization order of each radio in the storage administration territory, when changing the optimization order of radio according to the network resource information that receives, upgrade corresponding stored information.
Step C: the radio-resource-configuration of carrying out radio according to current optimization in proper order.Radio-resource-configuration mainly comprises transmitting power and the working channel of determining radio.
The user can determine to dispose the condition of radio Radio Resource.For example, can occur in sequence the variation back in the optimization of radio and carry out resource distribution again according to new optimization order; Transmitting power can be set optimize timer, channel selection optimization timer, carry out the resource distribution of correspondence with the setting cycle of timer.If comprise the work state information relevant in the network resource information that receives with the Radio Resource operating position, then can obtain the service condition of current radio according to these Information Statistics, as detected external disturbance change, the user terminal message is too much etc.The user can start the resource distribution process when the service condition that counts satisfies predetermined condition, to realize the real-time optimization of Radio Resource.The user can also adopt the combination of aforesaid way to carry out radio-resource-configuration.
Can adopt figure 4Shown flow process is carried out the radio-resource-configuration of radio.At step S410, one that selects not carry out to have among the radio of this resource distribution the optimized first order as current radio.
Step S420: current radio is carried out resource distribution.Resource distribution can comprise the setting of transmitting power and working channel.
Step S430: judge whether that all radio have finished this resource distribution, if then this resource distribution finishes; If not, change step S410, continuing by optimization is next radio allocation radio resource in proper order.
The user can independently select the algorithm of resource allocation.The existing various channels of prior art select and power control algorithm all can adopt, and repeat no more herein.
Need to prove that optimization sequential update condition and radio-resource-configuration condition according to the user selects may have ordinal relation between the steps A in the above-mentioned wireless resource allocation method, step B, the step C, also may not have ordinal relation.If the user all is set to regularly trigger and adopt different timers with the condition of execution in step B and execution in step C, then steps A, B and C can press time sort run separately respectively.
The user can also be arranged on when receiving some incident execution in step A, B and C successively.If the user is arranged on that AP starts and upgrade optimization order and distributing radio resource again with the AC back that connects, then can finish the AP start-up course according to flow process shown in Figure 5.Be without loss of generality, suppose that this AP includes only a radio.
Step S510:AP startup also is connected to AC.
Step S520:AC selects an interim channel, and notice AP is operated on this interim channel.
Step S530:AC notice AP scans all channels with Initial Trans or by the channel of customization.
AC can be provided with the Initial Trans of AP by the method for notice AP initial power transmitting power ratio InitTxRate, and AP will use the scan channel transmitting power of the product of its maximum transmission power and InitTxRate as AP.The user can adopt following two kinds of methods that the InitTxRate parameter is set:
One is for all radio in the management domain are provided with identical InitTxRate.According to network construction characteristic, the keeper can select suitable InitTxRate, stresses to cover as wlan network, and distance is far away between AP, can select bigger InitTxRate value; Stress to handle up as network, AP density is higher, then can select less InitTxRate value.
Its two, at specific radio different InitTxRate values is set.May there be special demand the specific region of wlan network to AP, at this moment can dispose the InitTxRate value one by one for the AP in these zones.
Step S540: the scan channel result who receives this AP.Generally include other radio tabulations of hearing on the channel id (sign), the signal strength signal intensity on the channel, the interference value on the channel, channel of each channel that is scanned etc. in the scanning result.
The current network resource that step S550:AC preserves this AP according to the scanning result that receives.Which network resource information AC can determine to preserve according to the optimization sequential algorithm of its selection.
Step S560:AC adds this AP in the radio tabulation that need carry out allocation of radio resources, upgrades the optimization order of radio in the tabulation according to the network resource information of current each AP.In other words, AC is inserted into appropriate location in original radio resource allocation formation according to current network resource with this AP.
Step S570:AC carries out resource allocation in proper order according to new optimization.
In addition, may comprise one or more separated network in a management domain.When among any one and another among one group of radio group radio any one do not have neighborhood, in fact there is the white space in the radio communication between these two groups of radio, two groups of radio are in non-interfering state to each other, and this moment, every group of radio formed a separated network.Among the present invention, the radio that all can be had neighborhood is divided into a separated network, if occur at least two separated networks in the management domain, then respectively the radio under it is optimized sequential update and radio-resource-configuration in each separated network.Be equivalent to the subdomain of each separated network as a management domain moved a RRM example respectively in each subdomain.
Wireless resource management apparatus of the present invention can have structure shown in Figure 6, optimizes unit 630 and is connected with control unit 620, monitoring unit 610 and memory cell 640 respectively.
The current network resource of each radio and current optimization order in the in store management domain in the memory cell 640.Control unit 620 is responsible for reception and the preliminary treatment variety of event from radio as the interface of wireless resource management apparatus and each radio.
Control unit 620 is sent to network resource information relevant with wlan network change in topology and/or Radio Resource user mode in these incidents optimizes unit 630, by optimizing the corresponding informance of preserving in the 630 updated stored unit 640, unit.Optimization sequential update condition according to user's setting, when satisfying update condition, optimize the network resource information of preserving in unit 630 reading cells 640, recomputate the resource distribution order of radio, and the radio optimization of in updated stored unit 640, preserving order.
Resource distribution trigger condition according to user's setting, when satisfying condition, optimize radio optimization order and the network resource information preserved in unit 630 reading cells 640, according to the optimization order is the radio distributing radio resource one by one, and allocation result is sent to control unit 620.After control unit 620 receives the resource allocation result of optimizing unit 630, be converted into the resource distribution instruction of radio and export corresponding AP to.
Wireless resource management apparatus can also be monitored the operating state of each radio, and upgrades the radio-resource-configuration of radio when meeting some requirements in working order and/or report webmaster.At this moment, the network resource information relevant with the radio operating state is sent to monitoring unit 610 in control unit 620 the incident that radio is reported.These information generally include radio link layer incident and physical layer information, for example the message of station retransmits, the station message is handled up, station message mistake etc., and change and/or resource that these information often do not need to trigger the optimization order immediately reconfigure.
