Fig. 1 is the flow chart of the system of selection embodiment one of access point of the present invention, and the access that this method is applied to wireless network is selected, and is based especially on the access selection of the wireless network of AP load balancing.This method can be completed with Centralized Controller and AP, and not have any requirement to STA and procotol, completely by network side(Such as AP and AC) control, compatibility height.Wherein, the entity of the Centralized Controller is not limited to AC, can be independent server, or a certain specific AP, as long as the centralized control functions to each AP can be realized.Meanwhile, the typical WLAN networkings that the wireless network is not limited to the wlan network of operator or formed by fat AP.Following all embodiments are using Centralized Controller as AC, and wireless network is illustrates exemplified by the wlan network of operator, as shown in figure 1, this method can be carried out according to following flow:
S101, Centralized Controller receive the status information of at least one AP transmissions, and the status information includes sending the AP of status information load information.
Wherein, the load information is used to reflect the current load conditions of AP for sending the status information, can include the use dutycycle AP currently, association user number, concurrent user number, one of information such as flow or any combination;
Preferably, the quality information of channel between the status information can also be including sending the status information AP and the STA.The quality information of the channel is used for the quality for reflecting the communication channel at least one AP between each AP and the STA, can include each AP up modulation of each AP statistics and coding strategy into the signal strength information of the STA and/or at least one AP at least one AP(Modulation and Coding Scheme, abbreviation MCS) bag distributed intelligence.
Alternatively, the status information can be that at least one AP is receiving the spy of STA broadcast Survey be sent to Centralized Controller after frame or at least one AP periodically or event triggering property is sent to Centralized Controller, no limitations are hereby intended.Wherein, event triggering property can be triggered by the channel quality thresholds value set, such as, if servicing AP judges that the channel quality with STA can send status information when being less than the threshold value set to AC, and for example, non-serving AP judges that the channel quality with STA can send status information when being higher than the threshold value set to AC;Event triggering property can also be what is triggered by the data packetloss rate set, but be not limited, and herein by way of example only, can be configured according to actual conditions.
S102, Centralized Controller are chosen at least one target AP that STA provides wireless service according to the status information of at least one AP.
For example, in the status information that AC is sent according at least one AP each AP load information, choose the minimum multiple AP of load as at least one target AP, service AP select from least one target AP according to signal intensity for the STA.
Preferably, if the quality information of channel between AP and the STA that the status information can also be including sending the status information, that is the status information that at least one AP that AC is received is sent can also include the quality information of channel between each AP and STA, then AC is chosen for the target AP that the STA provides wireless service according to the quality information of channel between the load information and each AP and the STA of each AP at least one AP.The selection process can be carried out in accordance with the following methods:
Method one
AC is pre-set after a load-threshold value, handles the load information in the status information, regard at least one AP loaded less than the load-threshold value as AP to be selected;AC is further according to the quality information of channel, and the good one or more AP of selection channel quality are used as at least one target APo from AP to be selected
If AP load is above the load-threshold value, AC can not choose target AP, can also load less one or more AP according to load information selection and be used as at least one target AP.
Or, AC can be not provided with the load-threshold value, direct at least one AP small according to the selection load of each AP load information selects the good one or more AP of channel quality as at least one target AP as AP to be selected, the then quality information further according to channel from AP to be selected.
Method two
Centralized Controller determines AP to be selected according to the quality information and pre-determined threshold of the channel at least one AP between each AP and the STA;It is minimum that Centralized Controller chooses load in the AP to be selected At least one AP be used as at least one target AP.This have the advantage that, the AP for selecting channel quality very poor can be avoided as target AP, it is ensured that target AP optimality.
Specifically, AC pre-sets a channel quality thresholds value, handles the quality information of the channel in the status information, regard at least one AP that the channel quality is more than the channel quality thresholds value as AP to be selected;AC is further according to load information, and the low one or more AP of selection load are used as at least one target AP from AP to be selected.
If AP channel quality is below the channel quality thresholds value, AC can not choose target AP, channel quality preferably one or more AP can also be selected to be used as at least one target AP according to the quality information of channel.
Or, AC can be not provided with the channel quality thresholds value, at least one high AP of channel quality is directly chosen as AP to be selected, the one or more AP for then selecting load small from AP to be selected further according to load information according to each AP channel quality and is used as target AP.
Above two method by way of example only, to target AP selection can flexible specified rule, such as statistical forecast based on historical data as needed, no limitations are hereby intended, as long as target AP selection can be realized.
Wherein, at least one target AP can be one or more, if one, it can then indicate that the STA is directly set up with a target AP to associate, so as to set up or update wireless connection, this have the advantage that, optimal service AP can be provided for STA, target AP is selected without the need for STA, wireless network access efficiency is improved;If multiple, then it can indicate that the STA selects to service AP from the plurality of target AP, i.e., autonomous selection services AP from the target AP of multiple optimizations by the STA, improves STA independence and flexibility.
S103, Centralized Controller send the response message for carrying response policy at least one AP, the response policy is used for the detection frame for indicating that at least one target AP responds STA broadcast, other AP are not responding to the detection frame of STA broadcast, so that the STA selects to service AP from least one target AP.
Specifically, it is determined that after at least one target AP, AC generation response policies, the response policy is used to indicate that target AP responds the detection frame, probe response is sent to the STA when receiving the detection frame of STA broadcast, so that the STA chooses service AP;The response policy is additionally operable to indicate that other AP are not responding to the detection frame, i.e., do not send probe response to the STA when receiving the detection frame of STA broadcast.Wherein, other AP are in AC receives the AP of status information, to remove It is chosen for the AP beyond target AP.
The response policy is sent at least one AP by AC, at least one AP determines whether to respond the detection frame of the STA according to the response policy, so that the STA selects service AP to initiate association request from target AP, so as to be set up with target AP or update wireless connection.The renewal wireless connection can include:The roaming of wireless network or the association again of wireless connection.
Wherein, if not setting up wireless network before the STA, or disconnected with wireless network, then the STA selects service AP to set up wireless connection from least one target AP;If the STA now has service AP, the STA selects new service AP to carry out service AP switching from least one target AP, realizes the roaming of wireless network or associates again.
The present embodiment, Centralized Controller is defined as the target AP that STA provides wireless service according to each AP status informations sent, to respond STA detection frame, service AP is selected from these targets AP for STA, realize the optimality and high efficiency of AP selections, the load balancing of wireless network is ensure that, the problem of AP efficiencies of selection are not high not enough to be optimized with AP selections is solved.Meanwhile, in the present embodiment, the control done when due to AC being to AP echo probe frames, relative to for the control that AP responds association request, reducing the network insertion stand-by period of user in the prior art.
Alternatively, Centralized Controller is chosen for after at least one target AP that STA provides wireless service, can also included according to the status information of at least one AP:If at least one target AP does not include current service AP, and Centralized Controller determines that the STA does not switch service AP in preparatory condition, then send and indicate that message indicates that current service AP sends disassociation message to the STA, detection frame is re-broadcast to trigger the STA.
Specifically, AC judges whether the STA has currently set up wireless connection according to the status information, if, at least one target AP can be chosen according to the status information of at least one AP, and judge whether include the AP that wireless service is currently provided for the STA at least one target AP chosen, if, then AC can not generate response policy, if not, then AC sets a preparatory condition, so that the STA independently switches service AP according to own situation, if reaching after preparatory condition, the STA is not switched independently, then AC indicates currently to provide the AP releasings of wireless service and associating for the STA for the STA, detection frame is re-broadcast to trigger the STA, and indicate that at least one target AP responds the detection frame.Wherein, the preparatory condition can include but is not limited to:Default set time or wireless media channel quality.For example, the preparatory condition can be a preset time period, after the period, the STA is not switched independently also, then enforces de-association;Or the preparatory condition can be pre- If wireless media channel quality threshold, such as signal quality threshold value or packet loss threshold value, if less than these threshold values, the STA is not switched independently also, then enforces de-association.This have the advantage that, AC can dynamically adjust the load of wireless network, it is ensured that AP load balancing in wireless network, and ensure that the AP for providing service again is the AP that performance optimizes.
The present embodiment is illustrated from two scenes below:
Scene one, STA do not set up wireless connection currently
, it is necessary to which broadcast probe frame, neighbouring AP is received after the detection frame before STA access wireless networks, probe response is not returned to directly, but can send status information to AC.AC receives the status information of at least one AP transmissions, and the status information can be that AP is sent to AC after the detection frame of STA transmissions is received.
AC is chosen for the target AP that STA provides wireless service according to status information is received, and generates response policy.Wherein, the response policy is consistent with the above, and it is chosen, and process is also similar to the above, and here is omitted.And target AP can be one, or multiple, it can be chosen according to actual conditions.
AC sends response policy at least one AP, so that the target AP of selection responds the detection frame, and, as AP is serviced, wireless connection is set up to indicate the STA from the selection one in those targets AP.
The currently-established wireless connection of scene two, STA
When STA has accessed wireless network, AC receives the status information of at least one AP transmissions, and the status information can be AP periodically or event triggering property is sent to AC.
AC is chosen for the target AP that STA provides wireless service according to status information is received, and generates response policy.Wherein, the response policy is consistent with the above, and it is chosen, and process is also similar to the above, and here is omitted.And target AP can be multiple, this have the advantage that, because AC can not predict STA randomnesss on the move in real time, in order to ensure that STA can be rapidly switched to target AP according to the system mechanism of itself, multiple selectable target AP are provided, to prevent because the problem of updating caused network insertion handoff not in time, the compatibility and fault-tolerance of network insertion are improved.
AC sends response policy at least one AP, so that target AP sends probe response when receiving the detection frame of STA broadcast to the STA, to indicate that the STA selects a target AP to be used as new service AP from target AP, to carry out the switchings of the service AP in wireless network Complete the roaming in wireless network or associate again.
