Embodiment
For problems of the prior art, the data transmission method the when embodiment of the present invention provides a kind of client to move between different AP, the method can be applied to comprise in the WLAN of AC, an AP, the 2nd AP and client; Wherein, an AP provides the AP of service for being initially client, and the 2nd AP is that client moves the corresponding AP of rear region.
Application scenarios take Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 as the embodiment of the present invention, AP comprises AP A, AP B, AP C and AP D, and AP A, AP B, AP C and AP D have joined an AP GROUP(group) in, the AP in AP GROUP is in an identical network, can pass through the double layer network intercommunication each other.
Suppose in AP GROUP, be linked into during the client First Contact Connections (AP A is initially client service is provided in this AP GROUP) on AP A, client is after successful connection, during from position movement shown in Figure 1 to position shown in Figure 2, the one AP is AP A, and the 2nd AP is AP C.
In the embodiment of the present invention, be initially client at an AP when service be provided, when client is linked into an AP for the first time, need to record following information corresponding to client on AC:
APID: client initially connects the ID of AP, i.e. the ID of an AP;
BSSID: the initial BSSID(Basic Service Set Identification that connects of client, basic service set identification), namely in fact BSSID(corresponding to the above client of an AP be exactly the MAC Address of an AP);
AP0-MAC: client connects the MAC Address (Media Access Control, medium access control) of AP, and initial value is the MAC Address of the initial AP of connection, the i.e. MAC Address of an AP;
STA-MAC: the MAC Address of client;
STA-AID:AP is the AID(connection identifier that client is distributed);
S:1bit, whether expression encrypts, and 1 is yes, and 0 is no;
C:1bit, whether the expression client carried out AP within Preset Time (Time0) switches; If client was carried out AP and switched (namely carrying out the described technical operation of the embodiment of the present invention) within Time0, be set to 0; Do not switch if client is carried out AP within Time0, be set to 1; Wherein, Time0 is the time gate limit value of systemic presupposition, and effect is to prevent that client from switching repeatedly in two zones of closing on AP; Be 0 when client initially accesses, wait for that Time0 is set to 1 afterwards.
Based on above-mentioned application scenarios, as shown in Figure 3, the method comprises the following steps:
Step 301, AC utilizes the RSSI(Receive Signal Strength Indicator of client under an AP, received signal strength indicator) RSSI under the and two AP determines that client moves to the 2nd AP overlay area by an AP overlay area, as from position movement shown in Figure 1 to position shown in Figure 2.
in the embodiment of the present invention, AC determines that client is specifically comprised by the process that an AP overlay area moves to the 2nd AP overlay area: AC obtain the RSSI(of client under an AP as an AP by original LWAPP(Light Weight Access Point Protocol, Lightweight Access Point Protocol) flow process is notified to AC) and the RSSI(of client under the 2nd AP notify to AC by original LWAPP flow process as the 2nd AP), RSSI under the one AP is the mean value of RSSI of the client of nearest N1 time an of AP (as 3 times) record, RSSI under the 2nd AP is the mean value of RSSI of the client of nearest N2 time of the 2nd AP (as 3 times) record, based on the RSSI of client under the RSSI under an AP and the 2nd AP, when the difference of client RSSI under the 2nd AP at the RSSI under an AP and client during more than or equal to default RSSI thresholding (fixed value that this default RSSI thresholding is system definition), AC determines that client moves to the 2nd AP overlay area by an AP overlay area.
Step 302, be that the data of client forward by an AP when client does not roam into the 2nd AP(from an AP) time, AC sends to the 2nd AP by the first message (the first message is for notifying the 2nd AP to provide service for client) with the client corresponding informance; This client corresponding informance includes but not limited to: the MAC Address of the MAC Address of client, an AP, upper BSSID corresponding to client of an AP.
In a kind of preferred implementation of the embodiment of the present invention, when client does not roam into the 2nd AP from an AP, only has the data re-transmission rate of working as between an AP and client more than or equal to default retransmission rate thresholding (fixed value that this default retransmission rate thresholding is system definition), and when client was not carried out the AP switching within Preset Time, AC just can send to the 2nd AP with the client corresponding informance by the first message; Otherwise AC does not need by the first message, the client corresponding informance to be sent to the 2nd AP.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the BSSID that this first message is used for making the 2nd AP utilize the client corresponding informance replaces the BSSID of self, and utilizes the MAC Address of client and the MAC Address of an AP will send to from the data of client an AP.
Step 303, the 2nd AP utilizes BSSID corresponding to the upper client of an AP to replace the BSSID of self, and send the second message (the second message is used for notifying this equipment to provide service for client) to AC, carry the MAC Address of the 2nd AP, the MAC Address of client in this second message.
In the embodiment of the present invention, this second message is for making an AP utilize the MAC Address of the 2nd AP and the MAC Address of client will send to the data retransmission of client to the 2nd AP
In the preferred implementation of the embodiment of the present invention, the 2nd AP utilizes BSSID corresponding to the upper client of an AP to replace the BSSID of self, specifically comprise: when N bar (as the last item) BSSID of the corresponding radio frequency of the 2nd AP was not replaced by the BSSID of other AP, the 2nd AP utilized the BSSID of an AP to replace the N bar BSSID of self; When the N bar BSSID of the 2nd corresponding radio frequency of AP is replaced by the BSSID of other AP, and the N-1 bar BSSID of the corresponding radio frequency of the 2nd AP is not when being replaced by the BSSID of other AP, and the 2nd AP utilizes the N-1 bar BSSID of the BSSID replacement self of an AP; When the N-1 bar BSSID of the 2nd corresponding radio frequency of AP is replaced by the BSSID of other AP, and the N-2 bar BSSID of the corresponding radio frequency of the 2nd AP is not when being replaced by the BSSID of other AP, and the 2nd AP utilizes the N-2 bar BSSID of the BSSID replacement self of an AP; By that analogy, follow-uply no longer give unnecessary details.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the form of the first message (being used for notifying the 2nd AP to provide service for client) and the second message (being used for notifying this equipment to provide service for client) as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5.

It is that the situation of failure (be used for notify this equipment to provide service for client) comprising that the 2nd AP is receiveed the response: (1) the 2nd AP is after receiving the first message, if check that the client corresponding informance that comprises in the first message is not that the RSSI that self detected meets the client that adds condition, directly abandon this first message, and the middle Message Type of receiveing the response is failure; When (2) the 2nd AP replace the BSSID of self at the BSSID that utilizes an AP, if the N bar (the last item) of the corresponding radio frequency of the 2nd AP is all replaced by the BSSID of other AP to N-3 bar BSSID, the 2nd AP does not recycle the BSSID of the BSSID replacement self of an AP, and the middle Message Type of receiveing the response is failure.
In the second message, Message Type is the self-defined message type; (E) carry the 2nd AP in field and notified the message content to AC (i.e. the MAC Address of the MAC Address of the 2nd AP, client); AC need to respond this second message after receiving this second message, and the middle Message Type of receiveing the response is T, and in Msg Element, content is empty.
Step 304, AC sends to an AP with the second message after receiving the second message, and determines that by an AP this equipment needs to send to the data of client to send to the 2nd AP.
concrete, AC is after receiving the second message, if know that the MAC Address (as the MAC Address of the 2nd AP) of the AP that carries in the second message is not the MAC Address (as the MAC Address of an AP) of the AP of the upper record of AC, upgrading the client corresponding informance is: the ID(of an AP does not change), the BSSID(of the one AP does not change), the MAC Address of the 2nd AP (changes, use the MAC Address of the 2nd AP to replace the original value of AP0-MAC), the MAC Address of client (not changing), (switch for carrying out AP within Preset Time by this moment in the information of whether carrying out the AP switching within Preset Time for client, do not switch for carrying out AP within Preset Time after waiting for Preset Time), and the second message is sent to an AP, otherwise AC directly abandons the second message.
