Geographic position locator 230 identification mobile wireless devices 200 accurately or geographical position roughly.In one embodiment, can discern this geographical position by using the GPS characteristic that can be integrated in the equipment 200.Equipment 200 uses the triangulation method of a plurality of gps satellites of the precise information that has adopted the position that equipment 200 is provided.In another embodiment, equipment 200 can use the information of the position of the wireless area of working therein about equipment 200.Can obtain this cell information from cellular tower/base station, and can use this cell information to be similar to position to equipment 200.It will be understood by those of skill in the art that other method (comprising the triangulation to cell tower) that can use the identification equipment position is similar to the position to equipment 200.
After the geographical position of geographic position locator 230 identification mobile wireless devices 200 has changed, the scanning that WLAN scan module 240 is initiated the WLAN access point.This scanning can be drive sweep or active scan, equipment 200 scanning WLAN access point beacons in drive sweep, equipment active searching and request WLAN access point beacon in active scan.
According to another embodiment, WLAN scan module 240 compares the tabulation in new device location and WLAN access point and corresponding geographical position.Can safeguard this tabulation in memory 250, wherein WLAN access point catalogue 235 comprises a plurality of geographical position and related WLAN access point.Can construct this catalogue 235 in many different modes, wherein the geographical position is related with the WLAN access point.Carry out this relatively after, only under this comparison shows that the situation that the WLAN access point occurs, WLAN scan module 240 just initiated to scan.This scanning can be initiatively or passive scanning.
Fig. 3 shows the method that is independent of the scanning WLAN access point of structure according to an embodiment of the invention.Mobile wireless device identification 305 its geographical position.Can use and comprise and use GPS function, combining wireless sub-district or cell tower, the triangulation of a plurality of cell towers of use or the several different methods of other method as known in the art to finish this identification.
Mobile wireless device determine 310 its whether changed the geographical position.Can use and comprise that the previous geographical position of the geographical position that will be discerned and this equipment compares or determine that extraneous several different methods that when this equipment has moved to the WLAN access point carries out this and determine.
Whether mobile wireless device is discerned 315 WLAN access points and should be occurred in the geographical position of being discerned.Under the situation that does not scan access device, carry out this identification, and can carry out this identification in inside or obtain the WLAN access-in point information from external source.For example, the geographical position of being discerned can be compared with the WLAN access point of inside and the tabulation of relevant position, whether should can use in the currently identified geographical position of equipment to determine access point.
In one embodiment of the invention, if before any scanning the unidentified WLAN access point of equipment, wireless device do not carry out 330 scanning.
But,, carry out scanning 320 to one or more WLAN access points of discerning if discerned the WLAN access point.This scanning can comprise a plurality of communication channels that can provide or obtain corresponding WLAN information thereon of scanning.In addition, this scanning can be active scan or drive sweep.
A) drive sweep
Fig. 4 shows the exemplary drive sweep that can carry out according to one embodiment of present invention.Can after the change in the geographical position of having discerned mobile wireless device 415, initiate this drive sweep.And, in another embodiment, can be only after the potential WLAN access point of having discerned corresponding to the new geographical position of equipment 415, initiate this scanning.
In one embodiment of the invention, mobile wireless device 415 monitors that a plurality of communication channels are with the beacon of identification from WLAN access point 440.Depend on the geographical position, the quantity of these channels and characteristic frequency can change.For example, in the U.S., the ISM wave band comprises seven channels that WLAN communication can take place thereon.Comparatively speaking, channel quantity in other country and frequency thereof typically are different from channel quantity and the frequency thereof in the U.S..Therefore, drive sweep needs mobile wireless device 415 to be in the receiving mode at each channel.Can make accurate step in the drive sweep be adapted to the position of mobile wireless device 415.
WLAN access point 440 usually on particular channel 420 with the time interval emission beacon frame 430 of about 100ms.But, such situation can be arranged, wherein with shorter or longer time interval emission beacon 430.Mobile wireless device 415 is monitored relevant channel with the beacon of identification from the WLAN access point.This beacon frame 430 provides the general network information to mobile wireless device 415, and it allows mobile wireless device 415 at network communication.This beacon frame 430 can comprise network service set identifier (" SSID "), network allocation vector (" NAV ") information, the speed that network is supported, transmission parameter (for example frequency-hopping spread spectrum or direct sequence spread spectrum), site capability information, flow indicator diagram (" TIM ") and other information relevant with this specific WLAN of network.
In case mobile wireless device 415 has received and handled beacon frame 430, it can be communicated by letter with WLAN access point 440 and add this wlan network itself.
B) active scan
Fig. 5 shows the exemplary active scan that can carry out according to one embodiment of present invention.Can after the change in the geographical position of having discerned mobile wireless device 515, initiate this scanning.And, in another embodiment, can be only after the potential WLAN access point of having discerned corresponding to the new geographical position of equipment 515, initiate this scanning.
In one embodiment of the invention, mobile wireless device 515 upgrades its NAV so that it can be communicated by letter with WLAN access point 540.Can 570 finish this renewal process by intercepting and capturing communicating by letter between another wireless device 525 and the WLAN access point 540 on the channel 565.The NAV information 575 permission mobile wireless devices of being intercepted and captured 515 upgrade the NAV of himself, so that they can be to WLAN access point 540 emission detection requests 550 frames.
After emission detection, mobile wireless device 515 is waited for 540 these detections of response of WLAN access point.This response generally should take place in two beacon frame interval.Mobile wireless device 515 must remain on receiving mode during this wait, to guarantee to detect and receive this response.If do not receive response, then mobile wireless device 515 scans next channel in a similar fashion.
In response to probe request, WLAN access point 540 is to mobile wireless device 515 emission detection response 585.As indicated above, this probe response 585 comprises the information such as the SSID information relevant with this network with other.Handle these probe responses by mobile wireless device 515 so that equipment 515 can with WLAN access point 540 and corresponding network service.
The process of the scanning wlan network of use active or drive sweep has very big demand to the resource of mobile wireless device.Especially, this scanning process needs the power of larger amt also may shorten the useful life of device power supply (DPS).Therefore, the ability of the performed scanning amount of minimizing equipment can strengthen its overall performance and prolong its power source life.In WLAN scanning, use identification that the geographical position to equipment changes as catalyst.And, in one embodiment, if only driver sweep under having discerned corresponding to the situation of the WLAN access point in the new geographical position of wireless device.
Though described the present invention with reference to some embodiment, person of skill in the art will appreciate that to provide multiple modification.The invention provides the multiple modification to embodiment, it only limits to appended claim.
