With reference to Figure of description, the embodiment of the present invention is described in further detail.
As shown in figure 1, being a kind of method of instruction beacon frame information in the embodiment of the present invention, comprising:
Step 101: Access Control unit ac determines mono- free time sending in the beacon frame period of wireless access points ap Time period;
Step 102:ac determines part or all of ap corresponding beacon frame time point in the free time section determining, wherein The corresponding beacon frame time point of different ap is different;
Step 103:ac is that part or all of ap configures corresponding beacon frame time point, and ap is in corresponding beacon frame for instruction Time point sends beacon frame after reaching.
Wherein, in step 101, ac determines mono- free time section sending in the beacon frame period of ap, comprising: of ap Send the cycle of beacon frame, may have several free time sections, the length of each free time section may differ, and can select Any one free time section sends the time period of beacon frame as ap part or all of in ac, it is preferred that one is sent letter In the mark frame period, maximum free time section sends the time period of beacon frame as part or all of ap.Wherein, free time section Refer to, do not send any frame within this time period, including not sending beacon frame.
If a free time section cannot send the beacon frame of whole ap, one or more free times can be determined again Duan Zuowei residue ap sends the time period of beacon frame, and the one or more free time sections wherein determining again can be in the sky determining Before the not busy time period it is also possible to determine free time section after.
In step 102, in the free time section determining, determine that part or all of ap corresponding beacon frame time point includes: Determine center ap first, the beacon frame time point of ap centered on the start time point of the free time section determining is configured, then Determine that other ap send the time point of beacon frame according to center ap, concrete grammar is as follows.
The determination of center ap: in the ap composition set needing to distribute beacon frame time point, each ap can be perceived The quantity of the transmission signal of other ap is ranked up, be possible to perceive the most ap of transmission signal quantity of other ap as in Heart ap.
According to center ap, other ap are grouped: by center ap, center ap can perceive transmission signal ap, with And the ap of the transmission signal of center ap can be perceived form a central. set, and each ap in this group can be perceived transmission signal Ap, and can perceive in other ap outside this group the transmission signal of at least one of this group ap ap composition one special Determine group.If now also having ungrouped ap, by set new for all ap compositions in all ungrouped ap and specific group, and Specific group is deleted, new set determines a center ap.By the center ap in new set, the center ap energy in new set Enough perceive the ap of transmission signal, and another center of ap composition that the transmission signal of center ap in new set can be perceived Group, and each ap in this group can be perceived in the ap of transmission signal, and other ap outside this group and can perceive The ap of the transmission signal of at least one of this group ap forms a specific group.If now also having ungrouped ap, repeat institute Form new set by all ap in ungrouped ap and specific group, delete specific group, and be determined in new set Perceive the most center ap of the transmission signal quantity of other ap, return center ap, center ap can perceive transmitting letter Number ap, and can perceive center ap transmission signal ap form a central. set step.
After the completion of all being needed the ap distributing beacon frame time point to be grouped, needs judge that the time period of the free time determining is Duration needed for the no corresponding beacon frame of whole ap not less than transmission;The time period of the wherein free time of determination is less than and sends all The required duration of the corresponding beacon frame of ap, determines that the method for the time point of the corresponding beacon frame of whole ap has two kinds, divides below It is not introduced.
Determine the method one of the time point of the corresponding beacon frame of whole ap:
Taking the free time section that the free time section determining is maximum in the transmission beacon frame period as a example, calculate and send All required durations of the corresponding beacon frame of ap.
Send required duration=(the interval frame of the duration+priority of a beacon frame of the corresponding beacon frame of whole ap Sifs) n, wherein n are the quantity of whole ap;Or
Send required duration=(the interval frame of the duration+priority of a beacon frame of the corresponding beacon frame of whole ap Sifs/2) n, wherein n are the quantity of whole ap.
Whether the time period of free time judging maximum is not less than the required duration sending the corresponding beacon frame of whole ap;If The time period of maximum free time is not less than the required duration sending the corresponding beacon frame of whole ap, and ac is just according to the order of packet Distribute corresponding beacon frame time point for the whole ap in every group;If the time period of the free time of maximum is less than sends whole ap correspondences Beacon frame required duration, then calculate maximum idle time can send ap beacon frame quantity, ac is just according to packet Order be that part or all of ap in every group distributes corresponding beacon frame time point;Ac redefines other free times again Section, returns the step judging whether the time period of free time is not less than the required duration sending the corresponding beacon frame of whole ap.Its In, the beacon frame of the ap of ap preferential dispatching centre group, after the completion of whole beacon frame information of central. set ap, retransmit specific group ap Beacon frame.
As shown in Fig. 2 after ac is grouped to whole ap, generating three packets: the first central. set, the second central. set altogether And specific group.Ac passes through to be calculated, and the beacon frame information of whole ap is needed 25ms.Meanwhile, ac determines a transmission Maximum idle time section in the beacon frame period is 15ms.Now maximum idle time section is less than the beacon frame information of whole ap Duration, then using the starting point of maximum idle time section as the first central. set center ap send beacon frame starting point, and according to point Group order, determines the ap corresponding beacon frame time point of the first central. set, the second central. set and specific group successively;When by second After the completion of 3rd ap corresponding beacon frame time point of heart group determines, remaining maximum idle time section is less than an ap The duration of corresponding beacon frame, the 4th ap of the second central. set is marked;Ac determines a free time section again, will again The starting point of the free time section determining as the time point of the 4th corresponding beacon frame of ap of the second central. set, and according to packet Sequentially, continue to determine remaining ap corresponding beacon frame time point.
Determine the method two of the time point of the corresponding beacon frame of whole ap:
Taking the free time section that the free time section determining is maximum in the transmission beacon frame period as a example, calculate and send All required durations of the corresponding beacon frame of ap.
Send required duration=(the interval frame of the duration+priority of a beacon frame of the corresponding beacon frame of whole ap Sifs) n, wherein n are the quantity of whole ap;Or
Send required duration=(the interval frame of the duration+priority of a beacon frame of the corresponding beacon frame of whole ap Sifs/2) n, wherein n are the quantity of whole ap.
Whether the time period of free time judging maximum is not less than the required duration sending the corresponding beacon frame of whole ap;If The time period of maximum free time is not less than the required duration sending the corresponding beacon frame of whole ap, and ac is just according to the order of packet Distribute corresponding beacon frame time point for the whole ap in every group;If the time period of the free time of maximum is less than sends whole ap correspondences Beacon frame required duration, then when the order according to packet is that part or all of ap in every group distributes corresponding beacon frame Between point, in maximum idle time section, wherein, do not obtain the ap of corresponding beacon frame time point, originally joined in advance still according to ap The beacon frame time point put sends beacon frame, and concrete grammar is as follows.
After ac is grouped to whole ap, generate three packets: the first central. set, the second central. set and specific group altogether. Ac passes through to be calculated, and the beacon frame information of whole ap is needed 25ms.Meanwhile, ac determines a transmission beacon frame period Interior maximum idle time section is 15ms.Now maximum idle time section is less than the duration of the beacon frame information of whole ap, then will The starting point of maximum idle time section sends the starting point of beacon frame as the center ap of the first central. set, and according to order of packets, according to The secondary ap corresponding beacon frame time point determining the first central. set, the second central. set and specific group;When by the second central. set certain After the completion of the corresponding beacon frame time point of one ap determines, remaining maximum idle time section is less than the corresponding letter of ap The duration of mark frame, then this ap ap below in the second central. set, and whole ap of specific group was still according to being originally pre-configured with Beacon frame time point sends beacon frame, and due to the ap after this ap in the second central. set, and whole ap's of specific group is original The beacon frame time point being pre-configured with will not determine free time section in, therefore, will not in free time section according to point In whole ap of the first central. set of order determination of group and the second central. set, remaining ap distributes corresponding beacon frame time point Produce interference.
The time point of the beacon frame of two ap be spaced apart the duration of a beacon frame and the interval sifs of priority With;Or the interval being spaced apart the duration of a beacon frame and 1/2nd priority of the time point of the beacon frame of two ap The sum of sifs.
In step 103, ac is that the part or all of ap corresponding beacon frame time point of configuration has three kinds of methods, separately below It is introduced.
Ac is that part or all of ap configures corresponding beacon frame time point methods one, and modification ap sent between the time of beacon frame Every:
Need to configure the ap of beacon frame time point for one, ac determines beacon frame time point that this ap is pre-configured with and needs The difference of beacon frame time point to be configured;Ac by the duration in the initial transmission beacon frame period of this ap and determine difference sum As the duration in this ap currently transmitted beacon frame period, and using the initial duration sending the beacon frame period as transmission letter afterwards The duration in mark frame period.
Configure corresponding beacon frame time points with the whole ap of the first central. set, the initial transmission beacon frame period of ap when It is assumed that having 5 ap in the first central. set as a example a length of 100ms, respectively w, x, y, z and center ap.Wherein w, x, y, z are in advance The beacon frame time point of configuration is respectively 0.5ms, 3ms, 2ms and 1.5ms with the difference of the beacon frame time point needing configuration.ac The duration in 4 ap of calculating currently transmitted beacon frame period respectively.
Duration=the 100ms+0.5ms in the currently transmitted beacon frame period of w;
Duration=the 100ms+3ms in the currently transmitted beacon frame period of x;
Duration=the 100ms+2ms in the currently transmitted beacon frame period of y;
Duration=the 100ms+1.5ms in the currently transmitted beacon frame period of z.
Using calculated w, the duration in the currently transmitted beacon frame period of x, y, z as w, the currently transmitted beacon of x, y, z The duration in frame period, w, the beacon of x, y, z in the transmission cycle that now current beacon frame sends cycle next beacon frame corresponding Frame time point can change, w, x, y, z in the transmission cycle that current beacon frame is sent cycle next beacon frame corresponding Beacon frame time point, as the corresponding beacon frame time point of w, x, y, z configuration, and the duration by the initial transmission beacon frame period (100ms) the transmission cycle of cycle next beacon frame corresponding is sent as current beacon frame, and its beacon frame information afterwards The duration in cycle.
Ac is that part or all of ap configures corresponding beacon frame time point methods two, directly modification ap transmission beacon frame when Between stab:
Need to configure the ap of beacon frame time point for one, ac determines beacon frame time point that this ap is pre-configured with and needs The difference of beacon frame time point to be configured;Ac by the timestamp of the initial transmission beacon frame of this ap and determine difference and make Send the timestamp of beacon frame for this ap.
So that whole ap of the first central. set configure corresponding beacon frame time point as a example it is assumed that having 5 in the first central. set Individual ap, respectively w, x, y, z and center ap.The timestamp of center ap is directly revised as the initial of the free time section of determination by ac Point, the difference respectively 0.5ms of the beacon frame time point that the beacon frame time point that w, x, y, z are pre-configured with is configured with needs, 3ms, 2ms and 1.5ms;Corresponding is that timestamp is respectively 1000 μ s, 2000 μ s, 3000 μ s, 4000 μ s.Respectively calculate w, x, y, Z needs the timestamp of the transmission beacon frame of configuration.
W needs the timestamp=1000 μ s+0.5ms of the transmission beacon frame of configuration;
X needs the timestamp=2000 μ s+3ms of the transmission beacon frame of configuration;
Y needs the timestamp=3000 μ s+2ms of the transmission beacon frame of configuration;
Z needs the timestamp=4000 μ s+1.5ms of the transmission beacon frame of configuration.
Calculated w, x, y, z corresponding need configuration transmission beacon frame timestamp it is simply that ac be respectively w, x, Y, z configure corresponding beacon frame time point.
Ac is that part or all of ap configures corresponding beacon frame time point methods three, modification ap relatively send beacon frame when Between stab:
For one need configure beacon frame time point ap, ac determine this ap need configuration beacon frame time point with The difference of the beacon frame time point of heart ap;Center ap is sent the timestamp of beacon frame and determine difference and as this ap by ac Send the timestamp of beacon frame.
So that whole ap of the first central. set configure corresponding beacon frame time point as a example it is assumed that having 5 in the first central. set Individual ap, respectively w, x, y, z and center ap.Ac calculate center ap the timestamp of initial transmission beacon frame with determine idle when Between section start time point difference, by the timestamp of the initial transmission beacon frame of center ap and above-mentioned difference and, as in The timestamp of the transmission beacon frame of heart ap configuration is it is assumed that the timestamp of the transmission beacon frame of center ap configuration is 1000 μ s.
Calculate the time point of transmission beacon frame of w, the time point of beacon frame of x, y, z configuration and center ap configuration respectively Difference is it is assumed that the corresponding difference of calculated w, x, y, z distinguishes 2.5ms, 5ms, 7.5ms, 10ms.
The timestamp of the transmission beacon frame of the corresponding configuration of w, x, y, z is equal to the time of the transmission beacon frame of center ap configuration Stamp and the sum of corresponding difference.That is:
Timestamp=1000 μ the s+2.5ms of the transmission beacon frame of the corresponding configuration of w;
Timestamp=1000 μ the s+5ms of the transmission beacon frame of the corresponding configuration of x;
Timestamp=1000 μ the s+7.5ms of the transmission beacon frame of the corresponding configuration of y;
Timestamp=1000 μ the s+10ms of the transmission beacon frame of the corresponding configuration of z
Calculated w, x, y, z corresponding need configuration transmission beacon frame timestamp it is simply that ac be respectively w, x, Y, z configure corresponding beacon frame time point.
As shown in figure 3, being the concrete grammar indicating beacon frame information in the embodiment of the present invention, comprise the following steps:
Step 301:ac, in the ap composition set needing to distribute beacon frame time point, determines center ap;
Center ap, center ap can be perceived the ap of transmission signal by step 302:ac, and can perceive center ap Transmission signal ap form a central. set;
Step 303:ac can perceive each ap in this group in the ap of transmission signal, and other ap outside this group Ap composition one specific group transmitting signals at least one of this group ap can be perceived;
Step 304:ac determines whether ungrouped ap, if having, execution step 305, and if not having, execution step 306;
Step 305:ac is by set new for all ap compositions in all ungrouped ap and specific group, and specific group is deleted Remove, execution step 301;
Step 306:ac determines mono- free time section sending in the beacon frame period of wireless access points ap;
Step 307:ac is according to whole ap corresponding beacon frame time points of distribution that the order being grouped is in every group;
