Abstract

The invention provides a method for switching a user terminal between access joints in a WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) based on AP (Access Point) collaboration. The switching method is mainly used for solving the problems in the prior art that the switching delay is overlong, and the switching mode is single. The method is technically characterized in that two selecting modes including a driving switching mode and a driven switching mode are adopted, wherein the driving switching mode is used for carrying out the switching from a network side; under a condition that a current AP is overloaded, the driving switch can be started for the AP, and an STA (Single Threaded Apartment) of the user terminal is selected from an STA set of the currently-connected user terminal and then is switched into an adjacent AP; if the communication quality of the STA of the user terminal is degraded, the driven switching mode can be automatically started through the STA of the user terminal, and the STA is switched into an optimal AP; and under the driving switching mode and the driven switching mode, channels to be scanned are subjected to priority ranking, and the time for scanning each channel is dynamically adjusted. The switching method has the advantages of less switching delay and high success rate in scanning and can be applied to distribution type wireless local networks with basic network support.

Description

Based on the changing method of user terminal between access point among the WLAN of AP cooperation
Technical field
The invention belongs to communication technical field, the method that particularly user terminal switches between access point in the WLAN can be used for the optimization of wireless lan network side and user side communication quality.
Background technology
In recent years, wireless local area network technology has obtained development and successful application rapidly, and popularity improves constantly.WLAN WLAN provides fast, efficiently and WLAN access service cheaply for people.Insert Internet through wlan network and can various services be provided, such as VoIP, multimedia and transfer of data or the like for the user.For these application and service, continual and steady network insertion becomes inevitable requirement.User terminal STA that is to say through access point AP access network in WLAN, and STA must pass through through AP ability access network and other STA.Because the covering power of wlan network access point AP is limited,, can arranges many AP and make things convenient for the access of STA in order to enlarge the coverage of WLAN.As STA owing to move away from the current AP that connects; Perhaps too big or the like these reasons of the too many traffic of STA that current AP connects; When causing the communication quality of STA to drop to a certain degree; STA other AP around can seeking insert to keep the excellent communications quality, the handoff technique among Here it is the WLAN.Handoff technique briefly is exactly that STA passes through series of steps, and disconnection is connected with current AP's, selects the AP an of the best to be attached thereto communication, can suspend current communication in the STA handoff procedure, can continue original communication after the switching completion.
Handoff procedure logically can be divided into three phases: scanning discovery stage, authentication phase, association phase again, wherein:
First step sweep phase
The effect of sweep phase is exactly that STA seeks which to have around own can be for the AP of service is provided oneself, and knows this AP and own quality of connection, then from these AP the AP of the best of selection as switching target.Scan mode has drive sweep and active scan dual mode.802.11 agreement regulation AP broadcasts the beacon frame with self information by the periodicity of 100ms on the channel of itself working, drive sweep is to know the own RSSI of AP on every side through the passive AP of acceptance beacon frame of STA.STA need wait on scanning channel that the regular hour is to guarantee to receive the beacon frame of AP when carrying out drive sweep.Number of available channels at China 802.11b/g is 11, and 802.11a is 13.If STA scans each channel, and on each channel, stop 100ms, then scanning delay will reach 1100ms, can't satisfy the requirement of real time business at all.Active scan is initiatively initiated by STA, and STA sends the Probe Request frame of inquiring after successively on each channel, and AP receives Probe Request frame and then replys Probe Response.STA is known the RSSI of AP on every side through the Probe Response frame that the AP that receives on this channel returns.In active scan, two values have been defined: minimum channel time and maximum channel time.If STA receives the Probe Response frame that AP sends at minimum channel in the time, then STA continues on this channel, to wait for up to the maximum channel time, to guarantee to receive the response of AP all on this channel.If STA does not receive the response of any AP at minimum channel in the time, there is not AP to be operated on this channel around then thinking, STA carries out the scanning of next channel immediately.
The second step authentication phase
After STA successfully finds some new AP, and when therefrom selecting an optimum AP to communicate, must could communicate with this AP through the authentication of AP, could access network.No matter be which kind of authentication mode, necessary step is that STA sends authentication request information to AP, and to the response of website transmission authentication success or failure, authentication mode is safe more after the authentication of AP process, and time delay is big more.
The 3rd re-associates stage in step
After accomplishing top two steps, STA sends the claim frame of re-associates to new connection AP, and AP sends it back the response frame of re-associates to website.STA has accomplished association process with new AP like this, and STA just can carry out the transmission of data between network.The time delay of re-associates process is the exchange process of re-associates frame, after website is received the message of success identity, sends the request message of re-associates to AP, has just accomplished switching after receiving the re-associates respective frame of AP.
A lot of problems can occur in the handoff procedure, wherein handover delay is of paramount importance with finding best AP.Handover delay is crossed the communication quality that senior general has influence on the real-time service such as VoIP significantly.Handover delay mainly is made up of the time delay of above three phases: scanning delay, the authentication time delay with reconnect time delay.Through a large amount of research, scanning delay has accounted for more than 90% of handover delay, and the authentication time delay is with to reconnect time delay shorter, so scanning process also is the emphasis of optimizing in the handoff procedure.Might not cause repeatedly switching if the AP that switches to is not best AP, cause the decline of user terminal communication quality easily yet.
To the problem that occurs in the user terminal handoff procedure among the WLAN, a lot of relevant separating have appearred in recent years
The way of determining, but these methods all exist certain deficiency.Such as Tuning algorithm based on adjustment minimum channel time and maximum channel time; This method is especially little with these two value settings; This has obtained effect on the minimizing handover delay; But cause scanning failure easily, just possibly have AP on the channel but since minimum channel time and maximum channel time be provided with too small, the time that STA treats on channel is weak point and cause accepting the response of AP too.This algorithm only is to consider from STA end simultaneously, just only switches and triggers from STA, and do not consider the factor of network side, causes the terminal to switch to non-best AP easily and duplicates the problem of switching.
Summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is to deficiency to above-mentioned prior art; Propose a kind of based on the changing method of user terminal between access point among the WLAN of AP cooperation; To reduce handover delay; Improve user terminal communication continuity in handoff procedure, and guarantee that STA switches to best AP, avoid repeating switching.
