Description
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of communications, and in particular, to a method and an apparatus for connecting a network access point.
Background
At present, when a user uses a mobile terminal to surf the internet, the user often uses Wireless-Fidelity (WIFI) to connect the network. With the increasing popularity of WIFI, it has become the mainstream way to access internet through WIFI. On the other hand, most mobile terminals have a hotspot function, and people often carry the mobile hotspot to provide WIFI service for other mobile terminals such as mobile phones when going out. When the user returns home or arrives at other specific places, the user needs to manually disconnect the mobile hotspot and access the WIFI hotspot with stronger access capability. Or after the user connects a certain hotspot, if a hotspot connected by a better history appears around, other hotspots can be searched again only when the hotspot signal connected currently cannot be used, and the user cannot automatically and intelligently switch to a better hotspot at any time.
In the related art, when a client sta (station) is connected to an access point AP (access point), the connection with the AP is disconnected when the following scenarios occur:
when the distance between the STA and the AP is increased or the WIFI signal strength caused by other reasons is reduced to a certain threshold value;
when the AP is closed or the WIFI signal caused by other reasons is closed;
when the AP refuses the connection of the STA in some way;
the STA user manually disconnects the connection with the AP;
according to the related art, a certain STA is affected by a threshold value when switching between APs, and therefore, according to the related art, when a certain STA establishes a connection with a specific AP, if the above-mentioned several scenarios do not occur, the connection is maintained all the time, and even if a user moves into other hot-spot coverage areas with higher quality, the change does not occur, and intelligent switching cannot be performed.
In view of the above problems in the related art, no effective solution has been found at present.

Example 3
Example 3 is an alternative example according to the present invention for describing the invention in detail:
embodiment 3 provides a method and an apparatus for intelligently switching WIFI access points, which collect relevant parameters of historically connected APs (network access points) in a connection process, calculate connection priorities of the collected parameters according to a corresponding algorithm, and update the priorities in real time; when the WIFI hotspot is connected, the broadcast messages sent by other APs are received, the searching is carried out in the existing AP information list according to the SSID in the broadcast messages, whether the priority of the AP hotspot is higher than that of the currently connected AP or not is judged, and if the priority of the AP hotspot is higher than that of the currently connected AP hotspot, the connection switching is carried out according to the setting of a user (automatic switching or switching inquiry to the user). Thereby improving the user experience of the product. In this embodiment, the hotspot, the network access point, the AP, and the WIFI are all equivalent meanings, and are the same reference in different scenes, that is, all are network access points.
The algorithm for intelligently calculating the priority of the WIFI access point comprises the following steps:
step 1: collecting related parameters of historical connection hot spots;
when a certain AP hotspot is connected for the first time, the terminal sends a parameter request to request the WAN side access mode of the AP, determines the access type of the AP, and stores and marks the parameter.
In the process of connecting the hot spots, the following parameters of the hot spots are acquired in real time and stored:
average rate of Ping packets;
average response time of Ping packets;
a historical connection duration;
flow rate of historical use
Step 2: prioritizing historical connected APs
Firstly, the priority of the AP of type 0 is higher than that of type 1;
secondly, for the priority ranking among APs of the same type, the ranking can be calculated comprehensively from several parameters:
historical average ping packet rates;
historical average ping packet response time;
a historical connection time;
historical usage flow rate;
and (3) sequencing algorithm:
firstly, according to the importance of each index, giving a weight coefficient of each index, wherein the coefficient is a number less than 1, and the sum of all index weight coefficients is 1;
then according to a certain index of each product, calculating the index proportion of the index of each product in all products;
comprehensive index of each product
∑All indexesWeight of some index value of AP and weight coefficient of some index of AP
All products are sorted according to the calculated comprehensive index number;
optionally, the parameters of the AP may not be limited to the above four points, and other parameters such as security consideration may be added; an interface for the user to manually edit the AP priority may also be provided, allowing the user to manually edit the AP priority.
And step 3: automatic contrast switching
When the terminal searches other AP hotspots around, firstly, the priority value of the searched AP hotspots is inquired in an AP list, whether the value is higher than the current connected AP hotspot is judged, if the value is higher than the current hotspot, the signal intensity and the like of the hotspot are judged, whether the value is available is judged, if the value is available, switching is carried out according to user setting (automatic switching or inquiry switching), if the automatic switching is selected, direct automatic switching is carried out, if the inquiry switching is selected, prompt information is pushed to the user, and the user determines whether switching is needed; if the signal strength or the like is poor, the handover is not performed.
