Predefined roaming rule of the present invention has difference along with antenna difference that access point used; In the embodiment of part; The antenna that access point used is during as leaky cable (Leak Cable); The secondary signal intensity whether the roaming rule can transmit 100 of second access point 202 and mobile devices first for second access point 202 is to wireless access control apparatus 300, if then to meet roaming regular for secondary signal intensity; In the embodiment of part, the antenna that access point used is during as sensing type antenna (direction antenna), roam rule can for secondary signal intensity greater than the predetermined strength threshold value; And the part embodiment in, when the employed antenna of access point is omni-directional antenna (omni antenna), the roaming rule can for secondary signal intensity greater than first signal strength signal intensity.
On practice; When antenna that access point used during as sensing type antenna or omni-directional antenna; Predefined roaming rule except above-mentioned secondary signal intensity greater than first signal strength signal intensity or greater than the intensity threshold value; Usually can also comprise secondary signal intensity and whether surpass the preset time threshold value greater than duration of first signal strength signal intensity or intensity threshold value; That is to say; Wireless access control apparatus 300 judge secondary signal intensity greater than first signal strength signal intensity or intensity threshold value after, need judge also whether secondary signal intensity surpasses the preset time threshold value greater than duration of first signal strength signal intensity or intensity threshold value, if secondary signal intensity also surpasses threshold value greater than duration of first signal strength signal intensity or intensity threshold value; Wireless access control apparatus 300 just can be judged secondary signal intensity and meet predefined roaming rule, and transmits roaming and order to mobile device 100.
Wireless access control apparatus 300 also is responsible for after receiving the second target device registration message that mobile device 100 transmitted, the on line state data of the mobile device 100 of original storages of deletion, and write down mobile device and be online to second access point 202.
Then explain orally operation system of the present invention and method with an embodiment, and please with reference to " Fig. 2 A " the main flow chart of selecting the loaming method of access point by wireless access control apparatus of the present invention.In the present embodiment; Suppose that mobile device 100 is mobile computer, but mobile device of the present invention 100 is as limit, all miscellaneous equipments of the communications protocol of IEEE 802.11 that can use can be called mobile device of the present invention; For example, mobile phone, PDA etc.
If the wireless network architecture in the present embodiment is shown in " Figure 1A "; Get into the first signal covering scope 401 (step 501) that first access point 201 is had at mobile device 100; And after not getting into 202 of second access points and gathering around the secondary signal covering scope 402 of usefulness, mobile device 100 can be online to first access point 201 (step 540).At this moment, mobile device 100 can hand over the mode and first access point 201 held online with four hands.
After mobile device 100 is online to first access point 201 (step 540); Mobile device 100 can transmit the first target device registration message and give first access point 201, uses through first access point 201 and passes on first target device registration message to the wireless access control apparatus 300 (step 550).
After mobile device 100 transmits first target device registration message to the wireless access control apparatus 300 (step 550) through first access point 201; First access point 201 can be at a certain time interval; Continue first signal strength signal intensity of 201 of the detecting mobile device 100 and first access points, and first signal strength signal intensity that will detect is sent to wireless access control apparatus 300 (step 580).Wherein, the time interval of first access point 201 detecting, first signal strength signal intensity, for example 50ms, 100ms etc., but the present invention is not as limit.
In order to lower the load of wireless access control apparatus 300; First access point 201 is before transmitting first signal strength signal intensity to wireless access control apparatus 300; Can shown in the flow process of " Fig. 2 B ", monitor mobile device 100 earlier and whether transmit communication package (step 561) with second access point 202.If first access point 201 does not listen to mobile device 100 and second access point 202 transmits the communication package; Represent that then mobile device 100 does not move in the secondary signal covering scope 402 that second access point 202 had; This moment, mobile device 100 had only first access point 201 can be online, so can not need roaming.Therefore, wireless access control apparatus 300 also need not handled the signal strength signal intensity between mobile device 100 and each access point, so first access point 201 can not transmit first signal strength signal intensity that detects.
And if mobile device 100 has moved to the common factor place (step 601) of the secondary signal covering scope 402 that the first signal covering scope 401 that first access point 201 had and second access point 202 had; Shown in " Figure 1B "; Then mobile device 100 can be because constantly in the reason of detecting other access point; And detect the existence of second access point 202, then, mobile device 100 can carry out the exchange of data and produce the communication package with second access point 202.So, first access point 201 at the package of monitoring 100 sending and receiving of mobile device just can listen to the communication package in mobile device 100 and 202 transmission of second access point.
Listen to behind the communication package of mobile device 100 and 202 transmission of second access point at first access point 201, first access point 201 can further judge the roaming recognition data that is recorded in the communication package that is listened to whether with the roaming recognition data identical (step 563) of mobile device 100.Because; The communication package that 201 of first access points listen to is the package of mobile device 100 and second access point, 202 swap datas; Therefore, can to judge the roaming recognition data of linking up in the package identical with the roaming recognition data of mobile device 100 for first access point 201.
Then, first access point 201 can be detected first signal strength signal intensity of 100 of first access point 201 and mobile devices, and first signal strength signal intensity that will detect is sent to wireless access control apparatus 300 (step 580).In the present embodiment; In supposing that first access point 201 can the first signal strength signal intensity write signal intensity reward data with 100 of first access point 201 and mobile devices; The signal strength signal intensity reward data that will record first signal strength signal intensity again is sent to wireless access control apparatus 300, but the mode that first access point 201 transmits first signal strength signal intensity is not as limit.
In addition, on practice, first signal strength signal intensity that first access point 201 can continue 100 of transmission first access point 201 and mobile devices at a certain time interval is sent to wireless access control apparatus 300.Wherein, first access point 201 transmits the time interval of first signal strength signal intensity to wireless access control apparatus 300, for example 50ms, 100ms etc., but the time interval of the present invention is not as limit.
And after moving to the common factor place (step 601) of the secondary signal covering scope 402 that the first signal covering scope 401 that first access point 201 had and second access point 202 had at mobile device 100; When second access point 202 just can have package to transmit between the mobile device 100 and first access point 201; Detect the existence of mobile device 100; Then; Second access point 202 can be according to the MAC position of obtaining mobile device 100 in mobile device 100 and 201 packages that transmitted of first access point, and transmits target device query messages to the wireless access control apparatus 300 (step 620) of the MAC Address that comprises mobile device 100.
Wireless access control apparatus 300 is after receiving the target device query messages that second access point 202 transmitted; Can transmit monitoring access point registration message to the first access point 201; First access point 201 can transfer to mobile device 100 (step 630) with the monitoring access point registration message that receives after receiving the monitoring access point registration message that wireless access control apparatus 300 transmitted.
Mobile device 100 is after receiving the monitoring access point registration message (step 630) that wireless access control apparatus 300 passed on through first access point 201, and mobile device 100 can be set up online (step 640) according to the received monitoring access point registration message and second access point 202.
Equally after wireless access control apparatus 300 receives the target device query messages; Wireless access control apparatus 300 can be according to the MAC Address of mobile device 100; Search the roaming recognition data of mobile device 100; Afterwards, transmit the response message of the roaming recognition data that comprises mobile device 100 and give second access point 202, make second access point 202 be able to confirm the identity of mobile device 100 through the roaming recognition data in the received response message.
After second access point 202 is confirmed the identity of mobile device 100; Second access point 202 can be at a certain time interval; Continue the secondary signal intensity of 202 of the detecting mobile device 100 and second access points, and the secondary signal intensity that detects is sent to wireless access control apparatus 300 (step 680).Wherein, the time interval of second access point 202 detecting secondary signal intensity, for example 50ms, 100ms etc., but the present invention is not as limit.
But; Same; In order to lower the load of wireless access control apparatus 300; Second access point 202 is transmitting secondary signal intensity to wireless access control apparatus 300, can shown in the flow process of " Fig. 2 C ", monitor mobile device 100 earlier and whether transmit online package (step 662) with first access point 201.
Because the characteristic of WiFi; When mobile device 100 moves to the common factor place of the secondary signal covering scope 402 that the first signal covering scope 401 that first access point 201 had and second access point 202 had; Second access point 202 can listen at mobile device 100 and 201 online packages that transmitted of first access point; Therefore, second access point 202 can judge the roaming recognition data that write down in the online package that is listened to whether with the roaming recognition data identical (step 663) of mobile device 100.Because; The online package that 202 of second access points listen to is that the mobile device 100 and first access point 201 are confirmed the package that maintenance is online; Therefore, the roaming recognition data that can judge in the online package of second access point 202 is identical with the roaming recognition data of mobile device 100.
Then, second access point 202 can be detected the secondary signal intensity of 100 of second access point 202 and mobile devices, and the secondary signal intensity that detects is sent to wireless access control apparatus 300 (step 680).Wherein, Second access point 202 can be shown in the flow process of " Fig. 2 D "; Use the mode similar with first access point 201; With in the secondary signal intensity write signal intensity reward data of 100 of second access point 202 and mobile devices (step 681), the signal strength signal intensity reward data that will record secondary signal intensity again is sent to wireless access control apparatus 300 (step 685), but the mode that second access point 202 transmits the secondary signal intensity is not as limit.
In addition, second access point 202 can be sent to wireless access control apparatus 300 with the secondary signal intensity that interbody spacer (just with identical frequency) in identical with first access point 201 continues to transmit 100 of second access point 202 and mobile devices.
First signal strength signal intensity that continues to detect at first access point 201 is sent to wireless access control apparatus 300 (step 580); And after second access point 202 continues the secondary signal intensity that detects is sent to wireless access control apparatus 300 (step 680); Wireless access control apparatus 300 can judge whether secondary signal intensity meets predefined roaming rule (step 710), uses and selects the access point best as far as mobile device 100.Wherein, It is identical with the time interval that first access point, 201/ second access point 202 transmits first signal strength signal intensity/secondary signal intensity that wireless access control apparatus 300 judges whether secondary signal intensity meets the common meeting of the regular time interval of predefined roaming; But the present invention is not as limit; Wherein, predefined roaming rule and the institute cloth antenna system of building is relevant.
