Description

A kind of broadcast data transmitting method and equipment
Technical field
The present invention relates to wireless communication technology field, refer to a kind of broadcast data transmitting method, a kind of client and a kind of access point especially.
Background technology
Access point (AP, Access Point) provides the bridging functionality of wireless client (Station) to WLAN (wireless local area network), carries out wireless wired and wired wireless frame conversion of arriving of arriving between wireless client and WLAN (wireless local area network).
In basic network, all communications must be undertaken by AP.AP is responsible for sending beacon (Beacon) frame, the existence that is used for declaring certain network.Wherein, distinguish different networks with service set (SSID, Service Set sign), client only behind the SSID of having known certain network, could insert this network.
The Beacon frame is a kind of wireless management frame frame of broadcasting, its in one's power scope be Basic Service Set (BSS, Basic Service Set).AP regularly sends the Beacon frame, can allow the interior client of institute's collection scope know the existence of network, adds the necessary parameter of this network thereby adjust.
The frame format schematic diagram of Fig. 1 wireless management frame of the prior art.When type (Type) field in the control of the frame among Fig. 1 (Frame control) field is " 00 ", expression is a management frames, when subtype (Subtype) field in the Frame control field is " 1000 ", represent that this management frames is a Beacon frame.Then the MAC of a Beacon frame as follows:
Frame control (Frame control):
Version (Version): 0
Type (Type): 00/management frames
Subtype (Subtype): 1000/Beacon frame
Frame control (Frame Control Flags): 00000000
Duration (Duration): 0
Destination address (Destination): FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF/Ethernet broadcasting
Source address (Source): 00:0F:E2:9A:D7:70
Basic service set identification (BSSID): 00:0F:E2:9A:D7:70
Sequence number (Seq Number): 2484
Segment numbers (Frag Number): 0
In 802.11 agreements, the frame of Beacon frame (Frame Body) field is used for carrying some information specific elements (IE, Information Element), and this is comprising manufacturer's self-defined information element (Vendor IE).Vendor IE is that the user can self-defining information element, and it is as shown in Figure 2 suitable.Fig. 2 is the form schematic diagram of Vendor IE of the prior art.
At present, in wireless network, the available data information broadcast mode is: the broadcast data that broadcast source sends, must broadcast in wireless network through AP, and the data of AP broadcasting only come into force to the client that is connected to this AP.There is following shortcoming in this broadcast mode:
For wireless client, only handle the Frame that own related AP sends, and the Frame of other AP or client will Direct Filtration fall when receiving.That is to say that from the angle of AP, the user that can receive broadcast data frame must be the user who has been associated with this AP, the user of dereferenced can't receive the broadcast data that AP sends out.Yet, in wireless network, some information is that the information publisher wants to utilize AP to be distributed to all users in the scope in one's power with broadcast mode, be that the information publisher wishes in this AP wireless signal coverage, and all wireless clients under the same channel (comprising the client that is associated with this AP and is not associated with this AP) can both receive.These information contents can be advertising messages such as company introduction, product introduction, information of discount, also can be informations such as weather forecast, hot news.But scheme of the prior art can't realize this purpose.
Summary of the invention
The invention provides a kind of broadcast data transmitting method, the feasible client device that is not connected to AP of this method also can be handled when receiving the broadcast data frame of AP transmission.
The invention provides a kind of client, this client also can be handled when receiving the broadcast data frame of AP transmission when not being connected to AP.
The present invention also provides a kind of AP, and the feasible client device that is not connected to AP of this AP also can be handled when receiving the broadcast data frame of AP transmission.
For achieving the above object, technical scheme of the present invention specifically is achieved in that
