Embodiment
Fig. 1 is the flow of the one embodiment for the method that communication quality is improved under WIFI network environment provided by the invention
Figure, as shown in Figure 1, the method for the present embodiment includes:
101st, access point(Access Point, referred to as:AP)Update event is sent to controller, is taken in the update event
Channel quality parameter with the AP current operating channels, so that the controller is examined when channel quality parameter is less than the first preset value
The service traffics of work station under the AP are looked into, and handover event is sent to this when the service traffics of work station are less than the second preset value
AP;
Explanation is needed exist for, which can be the physical entity of individualism or software function mould
Block.Software function module can be arranged on AP, can also be arranged on access controller(Access Controller, referred to as
For:AC)On, or be arranged on other physical entities.One software function module can be one, two or even two or more
AP provide service.
One or more work station can be accessed below one AP, work station under the inspection AP mentioned in 101
Service traffics can be understood as:When AP accesses a work station, the service traffics of this work station are calculated;When AP accesses one
During above work station, the service traffics of whole work stations are calculated.
102nd, the AP receives the handover event of controller transmission, according to handover event switch operating channel.
On the basis of the above embodiment, as shown in Fig. 2, before 101, this method can also include:
100th, AP detects the channel quality of current operating channel, obtains the channel quality parameter of current operating channel.
Can reflect the parameter of channel quality has very much, and the embodiment of the present invention is used alone or at the same time with following two parameters
Illustrated exemplified by use, it is used at the same time in the case of assessment to channel quality it is more accurate.The two parameters are respectively:Connect
Receive signal strength instruction(Received Signal Strength Indication, referred to as:RSSI)With signal with interference and
Noise ratio(Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio, referred to as:SINR).
Wherein, for Mobile WiFi equipments, when signal strength RSSI values are less than or equal to -100db, signal is illustrated
Intensity is too weak, can not meet communicating requirement, when RSSI values are more than or equal to -70db, illustrates that signal strength can meet nothing
Gauze is caught in net and requires, and when RSSI values are more than or equal to -50db, illustrates that signal strength is fine, it is ensured that steady and sustained
Network access requirements.
And SINR is the interference signal for measuring the intensity of the useful signal received and receiving(Noise-plus-interference)
Intensity ratio, for example, when useful signal intensity is -50db, the signal strength of noise-plus-interference is -100db, and SINR takes
Value 1/2, illustrates that channel communication quality is fine, and useful signal is significantly stronger than garbage signal, and wireless network can provide high performance
Service is accessed, when SINR values are close to 1, illustrates that useful signal and garbage signal are suitable, channel communication quality is general, wireless network
The access service that can provide primary demand of network, when SINR values are more than 1, illustrates that garbage signal is significantly stronger than useful letter
Number, channel communication is second-rate, and wireless network is unstable, in fact it could happen that network interruption can not provide access service.
It should also be noted that, AP can periodically detect the channel quality of current operating channel, can also be examined according to setting
Survey the channel quality of current operating channel.
It will also be appreciated that AP can send renewal thing when the channel quality parameter of current operating channel changes
Part can also detect the channel quality of current operating channel, not judge whether to change, that is, report renewal thing to controller
Part is not specifically limited in the application to controller.
On the basis of the above embodiment, 102 can specifically include:
102-1, AP are scanned the communication environment of WIFI network, obtain the channel quality parameter of WIFI network.
Explanation is needed exist for, since multiple channels can be included in WIFI network, above-mentioned acquisition can be
The list of individual channel mass parameter or multiple channel quality parameters composition, the form such as packet.
Further, before 102-1, can also include:
102-0, AP receive the trigger signal of scanning communication environment, which can be to believe configured information or time
Breath.
It should be noted that AP is scanned for the communication environment of WIFI network, can be that network administrator touches manually
It is sent to AP and sends configured information or clocked flip, i.e. temporal information.
The method that communication quality is improved under WIFI network environment provided in an embodiment of the present invention, update event is sent by AP
To controller, when meeting preset condition, controller sends handover event to AP, so that channel qualities of the AP in working channel
It can be switched to during variation on the good channel of signal quality, effectively provide communication quality.

Process with shown in Fig. 2, is not described in detail herein.As shown in figure 3, this method includes:
301st, controller receives the update event that AP is sent, and the channel matter of AP current operating channels is carried in the update event
Measure parameter.
302nd, judge whether the channel quality parameter of AP current operating channels is less than the first preset value;
If it is lower, perform 303.
If it is larger than or equal to end this method.
303rd, the service traffics of work station under AP are detected;If the service traffics of work station are less than the second preset value, send
Handover event is to AP, so that AP is according to handover event switch operating channel.
First preset value mentioned herein can be understood as available channel quality threshold, and the second preset value is work station
Average traffic flow, such as 0.5Kbps.Available channel quality threshold can set multi gear, for multi gear available channel quality gate
The situation of limit, can be adjusted according to actual network demand, set judging result less than a certain available channel quality gate
Above-mentioned steps are performed in limited time.
Further, controller can also be in WEB user interfaces(User Interface, referred to as:UI)On provide not
Channel quality with color is prompted.Such as, when RSSI is more than or equal to -50db, represented with green, channel quality is good for representative;When
When RSSI is more than or equal to -70db, represented with yellow, it is general to represent channel quality;When RSSI is less than -70db, represented with red,
Represent bad channel quality.On WEB UI, different AP is operated on identical or different channel, therefore can be shown respectively
Identical or different color.The method of the channel quality of the above-mentioned working channel using different colours mark AP, for network
For administrator, can with most convenient, intuitively obtain the situations of each AP present communications.
