An Access Point (AP) is a wireless switch for a wireless network, and has a limited carrying capacity, and when there are many wireless Access terminals in a certain area, two or more APs configured with the same Service Set Identifier (SSID) are usually Set in the area.

Detailed Description
The invention discloses a wireless access point access method, which comprises the following steps: the method comprises the steps that a terminal sends a detection request frame to a wireless access point, the wireless access point receives the detection request frame sent by the terminal, whether the self load is larger than a preset threshold value or not is judged, when the self load is larger than the preset threshold value and the detection request frame meets a preset condition, sending parameters are calculated, detection response frames are sent to the terminal according to the sending parameters, the terminal receives and obtains the sending parameters of each detection response frame, and the wireless access point with light load is accessed according to the sending parameters.
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
The embodiment of the invention discloses a wireless access point access method, which is applied to the following scenes: two or more APs have the same SSID, a terminal can connect to a wireless network through any one of the APs, and in order to connect to the AP, the terminal transmits a probe request frame in a wireless broadcast manner, and each AP can receive the probe request frame, as shown in fig. 1, the method includes:
s101: an AP receives a Probe request frame (Probe request) sent by a terminal;
s102: the AP judges whether the load of the AP is larger than a preset threshold value or not;
the load of the AP itself can be determined by the number of terminals currently accessing the AP, or by the current data traffic of the AP. In any way, as long as the load is greater than the preset threshold, the AP is considered to be in the overload state.
S103: when the self load capacity is larger than a preset threshold value and the detection request frame meets a preset condition, calculating a sending parameter;
the preset conditions may specifically be: the Media Access Control (MAC) address in the probe request frame is not included in the connected list.
Because the MAC address carried in the probe request frame is the unique identifier of the sending terminal, if the MAC address does not exist in the connected list of the AP, it indicates that the terminal identified by the MAC address is not connected to the AP, and in order to prevent the heavy-load AP from accessing a new terminal, it is necessary to calculate a sending parameter to inform the terminal of the load condition of the AP through the sending parameter.
If the MAC address exists in the connected list of the AP, the terminal identified by the MAC address has access to the AP, and the terminal does not need to inform the load condition of the AP, and at the moment, a useless detection response frame does not need to be generated, and normal wireless network service is not influenced.
In addition, the preset condition may be specifically a null condition, that is, the precondition for calculating the transmission parameter is only that the load of the AP itself is greater than a preset threshold, and no other condition exists. In practical applications, the content of the preset condition may be set according to specific requirements, and the embodiment is not limited.
In this step, the transmission parameter refers to a preset parameter of a signal when the probe response frame is transmitted, and may include:
the signal transmission strength of the probe response frame; or,
the sending time delay of the probe response frame; or,
the signal transmission strength and the transmission delay of the probe response frame.
Correspondingly, in this embodiment, calculating the transmission parameter includes: calculating at least one of a signal transmission strength of the probe response frame and a transmission delay of the probe response frame, wherein the signal transmission strength of the probe response frame may be calculated by:
determining the current load rate of the wireless access point, which can be calculated according to the amount of terminals currently accessed by the AP, that is, using the formula: the load rate = (the number of terminals currently accessed by the AP/the maximum number of terminals accessible by the AP) × 100%, and the calculation may be performed based on the current data traffic of the AP, that is, using the formula: load rate = (current AP flow/maximum AP rate) × 100%, calculation is performed.
After the load rate is calculated, the signal sending intensity of the detection response frame is calculated according to the load rate, the radio frequency minimum transmitting signal intensity of the wireless access point and the radio frequency maximum adjustable signal intensity amplitude, and the calculation formula is as follows: transmit strength of signal = radio frequency minimum transmit signal strength + radio frequency maximum adjustable signal strength amplitude (1-duty cycle).
The method for calculating the sending time delay of the probe response frame comprises the following steps:
determining the current load rate of the wireless access point, wherein the calculation method is as described above;
and calculating the signal transmission time delay of the detection response frame according to the load rate and the maximum signal time delay of the wireless access point, wherein the calculation formula is as follows: signal transmission delay = maximum signal delay load rate.
It can be seen from the above formula that the larger the load ratio is, the smaller the transmission intensity of the signal is, and the larger the transmission delay of the signal is, that is, the heavier the load of the AP is, the smaller the signal intensity of the feedback probe response frame is, and the larger the delay is.
It should be noted that, in addition to the calculation using the above calculation formula, the signal transmission delay may also be set to be infinite, and when the signal transmission delay is infinite, it can be regarded that the AP does not respond to the probe request frame sent by the terminal.
S104: and sending a Probe response frame (Probe response) to the terminal by using the sending parameters, so that the terminal accesses a wireless access point with lighter load according to the sending parameters.
That is, the probe response frame is transmitted with the signal transmission strength calculated in S103, or the probe response frame is transmitted with the signal transmission delay calculated in S103, or the probe response frame is transmitted with the signal transmission strength and the signal transmission delay calculated in S103.
In the method for accessing the wireless access point, when the load of the AP is greater than the threshold, that is, the load is greater, the AP calculates the transmission parameter, and sends the probe response frame to the terminal according to the transmission parameter to notify that the current load of the terminal is greater.
In another access point access method disclosed in the embodiment of the present invention, corresponding to the above method, an execution subject of the method in this embodiment is a terminal that sends a probe request frame to an AP and receives a probe response frame returned by the AP, as shown in fig. 2, the method includes:
s201: a terminal broadcasts and sends a detection request frame to a plurality of APs with the same service set identifier SSID;
s202: the terminal receives the probe response frames sent by the APs, and as described in the above embodiment, the probe response frames are sent by each wireless access point calculating the sending parameters and sending the parameters;
for a wireless access point with a load not greater than a preset threshold, the sending parameter is the sending parameter determined according to the prior art, and for a wireless access point with a load greater than the preset threshold, the sending parameter includes the signal sending intensity of the probe response frame; or, the sending delay of the probe response frame; or the signal transmission strength and the transmission delay of the probe response frame.
S203: acquiring a sending parameter of each detection response frame;
in general, the terminal sends a probe request frame in a wireless broadcast manner, any AP with the same SSID can receive the probe request frame within its own receiving range, and correspondingly, the terminal also generally receives probe response frames sent by two or more APs, and for each probe response frame, the operation described in S203 is performed. For multiple probe response frames, the terminal may obtain multiple transmission parameters, where each transmission parameter reflects a load condition of its corresponding AP.
Probe response frame S204: accessing a wireless access point with lighter load according to the sending parameters;
when the sending parameter is the signal sending intensity of the detection response frame, the terminal accesses a wireless access point with larger signal sending intensity of the detection response frame; and when the sending parameter is the sending time delay of the detection response frame, the terminal accesses the wireless access point with smaller sending time delay of the detection response frame.
And when the sending parameters are the signal sending strength and the sending time delay of the detection response frame, the terminal accesses the wireless access point with smaller signal sending strength or sending time delay of the detection response frame.
Because the larger the signal transmission strength of the probe response frame is, the smaller the transmission delay of the probe response frame is, the smaller the load of the AP corresponding to the probe response frame is, the terminal can always access the AP with lighter load, and cannot access the AP with heavier load.
In the method for accessing the wireless access point, the terminal acquires the transmission parameters from the received probe response frame fed back by the AP, different transmission parameters reflect the load condition of the AP corresponding to the terminal, and the terminal can access the AP with lighter load by comparing the transmission parameters.
