Detailed Description
The present application will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, in order to make the objects, technical means and advantages of the present application more apparent.
For ease of understanding, the terms involved in the embodiments of the present application are described and explained below.
A Multi-access point Controller (Multi-AP Controller) is a logical functional entity of a Multi-access point, and is used for controlling the logic of Multi-AP network operation, including the functions of accessing a mesh node device, managing the whole mesh network, and the like, and is similar to a hot spot in terms of access function.
A Multi-access point Agent (Multi-AP Agent) is a logical entity conforming to a Multi-AP for performing an AP control function and providing control information specific to the Multi-AP, with respect to a Multi-AP Controller.
The multi-access point controller and the multi-access point proxy are used as logical functional entities and can be configured in the mesh node device according to the requirement.

Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic flow chart of a mesh node device networking method according to an embodiment of the present application. Comprising the following steps:
Step 101, the mesh node device obtains a first network configuration parameter for the access gateway device,
Step 102, according to the first network configuration parameters, directly connecting with the gateway device,

Step 104, under the condition that the performance meets the set condition, the mesh node device is kept to be directly connected with the gateway device to serve as a second network outlet of the current mesh network, so that the current mesh network also has the second network outlet besides the first network outlet.
The application realizes that the mesh node equipment with good AP performance is used as network outlets as much as possible, realizes a multi-outlet networking mode, avoids the bandwidth restriction of the whole mesh network under the condition of one network outlet, and improves the robustness of the mesh network.
Example 1
Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic flow chart of a method for implementing mesh node device networking according to an embodiment of the present application. Any mesh node device to be accessed into the mesh network executes the following steps:
step 201, a mesh node device responds to a network access request input by a user, acquires a first network configuration parameter for accessing a gateway device, and accesses the gateway device for accessing an external network through the acquired first network configuration parameter so as to be directly connected with the gateway device;
For example, in the smart home network, if the gateway device accessing the external network is a router, the mesh node device accesses the router.
As an example, if the mesh node device is a first access to the current mesh network, that is, if there is no history network configuration parameter data of the mesh node device that has been accessed to the current mesh network, the mesh node device may be forced to access the gateway device preferentially even when the user has selected to access other devices in the current mesh network, and the process of forcing the mesh node device to access the gateway device preferentially may not be visible to the user, that is, the mesh node device that is accessed to the current mesh network for the first time defaults to access the gateway device for accessing the external network preferentially, so that the mesh node device has a first access priority of accessing the gateway device. The first network configuration parameter may include a service set identification (SSID, service Set Identifier) of the gateway device.
If the mesh node device is not accessed to the current mesh network for the first time, the historical network configuration parameters can be obtained to improve the speed of accessing to the mesh network, or the second network configuration parameters requested by the current network access request are obtained to meet the selection requirement of the user.
As another example, the mesh node device detects whether it has a capability as an egress device, for example, whether the AP performance of the mesh node device itself satisfies a setting condition,
If so, the first network configuration parameters are forcedly acquired, and the gateway equipment for accessing the external network is accessed through the acquired first network configuration parameters so as to be directly connected with the gateway equipment,
Otherwise, acquiring the historical network configuration parameters or acquiring the second network configuration parameters requested by the current network access request.
Step 202, the mesh node device queries whether a mesh node device with a Multi-access point Controller logic function entity exists in the current mesh network, namely, queries whether a Multi-AP Controller node exists in the current mesh network;
If the mesh node equipment exists, the mesh node equipment is self-configured with the equipment as a Multi-AP Agent node, namely, the mesh node equipment is configured with a Multi-AP Agent logic functional entity;
if not, it is indicated that the current mesh network may be a newly created network, the mesh node device triggers the election of a Multi-AP Controller node, so as to elect a node that is a Multi-AP Controller,
If the selected Multi-AP Controller node is not itself, then the configuration itself is a Multi-access point proxy Multi-AP Agent node,
If the selected Multi-AP Controller node is itself, at least generating service set identification information in the current mesh network, generating information such as a password, sending the generated information to each Multi-AP Agent node, and collecting topology information of the current mesh network. In this way, in the current mesh network, after selecting one as a Multi-AP Controller node, the rest of mesh node devices are configured as Multi-AP Agent nodes.
As an example, the procedure in which the mesh node device queries whether there is a mesh node device having a logical function entity of the multi-access point controller in the current mesh network may be as follows:
The mesh node equipment sends a query broadcast packet, if feedback from a Multi-AP Controller node is received, the Multi-AP Controller node is judged to exist, otherwise, the Multi-AP Controller node is judged not to exist;
as an example, the process of electing a Multi-AP Controller node may be such that:
Each mesh node device in the current mesh network sends a broadcast packet, wherein the broadcast packet carries device information of the device and mesh node device information directly connected with the device, each mesh node device obtains information of all mesh node devices in the current mesh network through the received broadcast packet, and a Multi-AP Controller node is determined according to an election rule, and generally, the mesh node device directly connected with the gateway device has higher priority to be a Multi-AP Controller node, so that the Multi-AP Controller node becomes a first network outlet in the current mesh network.
Step 203, the mesh node device determines whether to extend the second network outlet according to at least one of the performance of the current direct networking gateway device and the AP performance of the mesh node device itself.
As an example, the mesh node device determines, based on the capabilities of its current direct networking gateway device, whether its current direct networking gateway device meets the requirement of expanding the second network egress, i.e., determines whether the capabilities of the gateway device meet the set conditions,
If so, the direct connection between the mesh node device and the gateway device is reserved, so that the mesh node device is used as a second network outlet,
Otherwise, according to the AP performance of each mesh node device in the current mesh network, selecting the mesh node device with the optimal AP performance from the current mesh network to be accessed, and disconnecting the direct connection between the mesh node device and the gateway device, so that the second priority of the connection with any other mesh node device except the mesh node device in the current mesh network is lower than the first access priority of the direct connection with the gateway device.
The performance of the gateway device may be considered in terms of at least one of a Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) of the gateway device, ambient interference, free bandwidth, number of access mesh node devices.
In view of the fact that the more mesh node devices are directly connected with the gateway device, the more the network outlets of the mesh network are expanded, but in practical application, too many devices are directly connected with the gateway device, so that the defects of unbalanced load, limited bandwidth, poor network robustness and the like are caused, in order to avoid the defects, preferably, the mesh node device considers the performance of the directly connected gateway device and also considers the AP performance of the mesh node device, if the AP performance of the mesh node device meets the set condition, the direct connection of the mesh node device and the gateway device is reserved, otherwise, according to the AP performance of each mesh node device in the current mesh network, the mesh node device with the optimal AP performance is selected from the current mesh network to be accessed, and the direct connection of the mesh node device and the gateway device is disconnected.
The AP performance of the mesh node device itself may be considered according to at least one of RSSI, environmental interference, idle bandwidth, and the number of accessible mesh node devices of the mesh node device.
It should be appreciated that whether to extend the egress may also be determined based solely on the AP capabilities itself.
Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of a network obtained by performing network deployment according to the method of the first embodiment. As an example, in the figure, the mesh node devices 1,2, 3 are directly connected with the router and respectively support device access of two frequency bands, the mesh node device 4 is directly connected with the mesh node device 2 and supports device access of two frequency bands, wherein the mesh node devices 1,2, 4 are Multi-AP Agent nodes, the mesh node device 3 is a Multi-AP Controller node, and in the mesh network, there is one and only one Multi-AP Controller node. In addition, the workstation may also directly access the router.
According to the embodiment, the mesh node equipment to be accessed into the mesh network is networking, through AP performance evaluation of the mesh node equipment, the mesh node equipment to be accessed into the mesh network can be preferentially used as the outlet equipment of the mesh network through direct networking switching equipment, second network outlets are added as much as possible for the current mesh network, load balancing of Multi-AP Controller nodes is achieved, bandwidth of the whole mesh network is improved, and wireless coverage distance is expanded.
Example two
Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a schematic flow chart of another method for implementing mesh node device networking according to the second embodiment of the present application. On any mesh node equipment side in the existing mesh network, the following steps are executed:
Step 401, as an example, the mesh node device detects a current network environment, e.g., detects a current network signal strength,
If the current network environment is not good, e.g., the current network signal strength is less than the set strength threshold, then the current network environment is determined to be not good, step 402 is performed,
Otherwise, the current network connection is maintained.
As another example, the Multi-AP Controller node broadcasts an instruction to become the second network egress so that a mesh node device with good AP performance in the current mesh network becomes the egress device, or the Multi-AP Controller node transmits an instruction to become the second network egress to the target mesh node device so that the target mesh node device becomes the egress device, or the user inputs an instruction to become the second network egress, in which case the mesh node device performs step 402 in response to the instruction to become the second network egress.
Step 402, determining whether the device is currently a Multi-AP Controller node or a Multi-AP Agent node,
If the access is Multi-AP Controller node, re-attempting to access the gateway equipment of the external network, notifying each Multi-AP Agent node to perform Multi-AP Controller node election under the condition that the access failure is performed and/or the access failure times reach the set time threshold, selecting the mesh node equipment with optimal AP performance from the current mesh network according to the AP performance of each mesh node equipment in the current mesh network after the election is completed,
If it is a Multi-AP Agent node, step 403 is performed,
Step 403, evaluating the AP performance of the mesh node device according to the device information of the mesh node device,
If the AP performance of the mesh node device reaches a set condition, acquiring a first network configuration parameter, and accessing the gateway device through the acquired first network configuration parameter so as to be directly connected with the gateway device;
Optionally, evaluating whether the performance of the directly connected gateway device can meet the requirement of an extension outlet so as to improve the reliability of access, if so, keeping direct connection with the gateway device, otherwise, selecting the mesh node device with the optimal AP performance from the current mesh network to access according to the AP performance of each mesh node device in the current mesh network,
If the AP performance of the mesh node equipment does not reach the set condition, selecting the mesh node with the optimal AP performance from the current mesh network to access according to the AP performance of each mesh node equipment in the current mesh network.
According to the second embodiment, a process that the mesh node equipment in the existing mesh network becomes the exit equipment dynamically is realized, through AP performance evaluation of the mesh node equipment, any mesh node equipment in the existing mesh network is enabled to become the exit equipment of the mesh network through direct networking and switching equipment, and therefore a second network outlet is added for the current mesh network, load balancing of a Multi-AP Controller node is facilitated, and bandwidth of the whole mesh network is facilitated to be improved.
