A part of the embodiment of the present invention, instead of all the embodiments.Based on the embodiments of the present invention, those of ordinary skill in the art
The every other embodiment obtained without creative efforts, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
Fig. 1 is the flow chart of the selection method embodiment one of access point of the present invention, and this method is suitable for connecing for wireless network
Enter selection, is based especially on the access selection of the wireless network of AP load balancing.This method can be matched by Centralized Controller and AP
It closes and completes, and do not have any requirement to STA and procotol, completely by network side(Such as AP and AC)Control, compatibility are high.Its
In, the entity of the Centralized Controller is not limited to AC, can be independent server, or a certain specific AP, as long as
It can realize the centralized control functions to each AP.Meanwhile the wireless network is not limited to the wlan network of operator, also may be used
To be the typical networks WLAN formed by fat AP.All embodiments below are AC with Centralized Controller, and wireless network is
It is illustrated for 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 that at least one AP is sent, which includes sending the state
The load information of the AP of information.
Wherein, which is used to reflect the current load conditions of the AP for sending the status information, may include the AP
Current use duty ratio, association user number, concurrent user number, one of information such as flow or arbitrary combination;
Preferably, which can also include the quality of channel between the AP and the STA for sending the status information
Information.The quality information of the channel is used to reflect the quality of the communication channel at least one AP between each AP and the STA, can
To count upper including each AP in each AP at least one AP to the signal strength information of the STA and/or at least one AP
Row modulation and coding strategy(Modulation and Coding Scheme, abbreviation MCS)Packet distributed intelligence.
Optionally, which can be that at least one AP is sent to after the detection frame for receiving STA broadcast
Centralized Controller, can also be that at least one AP periodicity or event triggering property are sent to Centralized Controller, herein not
Do any restrictions.Wherein, event triggering property can be triggered by the channel quality thresholds value being arranged, e.g., if service AP sentences
The disconnected channel quality with STA less than setting threshold value when can send status information to AC, for another example, non-serving AP judge with
Status information can be sent when the channel quality of STA is higher than the threshold value being arranged to AC;Event triggering property can also be by setting
The data packetloss rate triggering set, but not limited to this, herein by way of example only, can be configured according to actual conditions.
S102, Centralized Controller are chosen for STA and provide wireless service at least according to the status information of at least one AP
One target AP.
For example, AC chooses load minimum according to the load information of each AP in the status information of at least one AP transmissions
Multiple AP select service AP according to signal strength as at least one target AP, for the STA from least one target AP.
Preferably, if the status information can also include the quality of channel between the AP and the STA for sending the status information
The status information that at least one AP that information, i.e. AC receive is sent can also include the quality of channel between each AP and STA
Information, then AC is according to the quality information of channel between the load information and each AP and the STA of each AP at least one AP, selection
The target AP of wireless service is provided for the STA.The selection process can carry out in accordance with the following methods:
Method one
After AC pre-sets a load-threshold value, the load information in the status information is handled, load is born less than this
At least one AP of threshold value is carried as AP to be selected;AC selects channel quality further according to the quality information of channel from AP to be selected
Good one or more AP are as at least one target AP.
If the load of AP is above the load-threshold value, AC can not choose target AP, can also be according to load information
Select to load smaller one or more AP as at least one target AP.
Alternatively, AC can be not provided with the load-threshold value, it is small at least directly to choose load according to the load information of each AP
Then one AP selects the one or more that channel quality is good further according to the quality information of channel as AP to be selected from AP to be selected
AP is as at least one target AP.
Method two
Quality information and pre- gating of the Centralized Controller according to the channel at least one AP between each AP and the STA
Limit, determines AP to be selected;Centralized Controller chooses the minimum at least one AP of load as at least one mesh in the AP to be selected
Mark AP.This have the advantage that target AP can be ensure that most to avoid the AP for selecting channel quality very poor as target AP
Dominance.
Specifically, AC pre-sets a channel quality thresholds value, handles the quality information of the channel in the status information,
The channel quality is more than at least one AP of the channel quality thresholds value as AP to be selected;AC is further according to load information, from waiting for
It selects and selects to load low one or more AP in AP as at least one target AP.
If the channel quality of AP is below the channel quality thresholds value, AC can not choose target AP, can also basis
The quality information of channel selects channel quality preferably one or more AP as at least one target AP.
Alternatively, AC can be not provided with the channel quality thresholds value, channel quality is directly chosen according to the channel quality of each AP
Then high at least one AP selects to load small one or more AP from AP to be selected further according to load information as AP to be selected
As target AP.
Above two method by way of example only, can flexible specified rule, such as base as needed to the selection of target AP
In the statistical forecast etc. of historical data, no limitations are hereby intended, as long as the selection of target AP can be realized.
Wherein, at least one target AP can be one or more, if one, then can indicate the STA directly with
One target AP establishes association, is wirelessly connected to establish or update, this have the advantage that, it can be provided most for STA
Excellent service AP, while not needing STA and target AP is selected, improve wireless network access efficiency;It, then can be with if multiple
Indicate that the STA selects service AP, the i.e. independently selection service from the target AP of multiple optimizations by the STA from multiple target AP
AP improves independence and the flexibility of STA.
S103, Centralized Controller send the response message for carrying response policy, the response policy at least one AP
It is used to indicate the detection frame 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 service AP from least one target AP.
Specifically, after determining at least one target AP, AC generates response policy, which is used to indicate target AP
The detection frame is responded, i.e., sends probe response to the STA when receiving the detection frame of STA broadcast, is taken so that the STA chooses
Be engaged in AP;The response policy is additionally operable to indicate that other AP are not responding to the detection frame, i.e., not when receiving the detection frame of STA broadcast
Probe response is sent to the STA.Wherein, which is in the AP that AC receives status information, except being chosen for target AP
AP in addition.
The response policy is sent at least one AP by AC, which determines whether to ring according to the response policy
Should STA detection frame, so that the STA selects service AP to initiate association request from target AP, to being established with target AP or
Update is wirelessly connected.The update is wirelessly connected:The roaming of wireless network or the association again of wireless connection.
Wherein, it if not setting up wireless network before the STA, or is disconnected with wireless network, then the STA is from least one
Selection service AP, which is established, in a target AP is wirelessly connected;If the STA has service AP at this time, the STA is from least one target AP
The new service AP of middle selection carries out the switching of service AP, realizes the roaming of wireless network or is associated with again.
The present embodiment, Centralized Controller are determined as the target that STA provides wireless service according to each AP status informations sent
AP selects from these targets AP service AP for STA to respond the detection frame of STA, realizes the optimality and efficiently of AP selections
Property, it ensure that the load balancing of wireless network, solve the problems, such as that AP efficiencies of selection are not high and AP selections not enough optimize.Meanwhile
In the present embodiment, since AC is the control to being done when AP echo probe frames, compared with the existing technology in AP respond association request
Control for, reduce the network insertion stand-by period of user.
Optionally, Centralized Controller is chosen for STA and provides wireless service extremely according to the status information of at least one AP
After a few target AP, can also include:If at least one target AP does not include current service AP, and Centralized Controller exists
It determines that the STA does not switch service AP in preset condition, then sends instruction message and indicate that current service AP sends releasing to the STA
Association messages re-broadcast detection frame to trigger the STA.
Specifically, AC judges whether the STA currently has been established wireless connection according to the status information, if so, can root
Choose at least one target AP according to the status information of at least one AP, and judge at least one target AP chosen whether
AP including currently providing wireless service for the STA, if so, AC can not generate response policy, if it is not, then AC settings one are pre-
If condition, so that the STA independently switches service AP according to own situation, if after reaching preset condition, which is not cut independently
It changes, then AC instructions currently provide the AP releasings of wireless service and being associated with for the STA for the STA, and spy is re-broadcast to trigger the STA
Frame is surveyed, and indicates that at least one target AP responds the detection frame.Wherein, which can include but is not limited to:It is default
Set time or wireless media channel quality.For example, the preset condition can be a preset time period, it is more than the period
Afterwards, which is not switched independently also, then enforces de-association;Or the preset condition can be that preset wireless medium is believed
Road quality threshold, such as signal quality threshold value or packet loss threshold value, if being less than these threshold values, which does not carry out also certainly
Main switching, then enforce de-association.This have the advantage that AC can dynamically adjust the load of wireless network, ensure nothing
The load balancing of AP in gauze network, and ensure that the AP for providing service again is the AP of performance optimization.
The present embodiment is illustrated from two scenes below:
Scene one, STA do not set up wireless connection currently
Before STA accesses wireless network, broadcast detection frame is needed not returned directly after neighbouring AP receives the detection frame
Probe response, but status information can be sent to AC.AC receives the status information that at least one AP is sent, which can
To be that AP is sent to AC after the detection frame for receiving STA transmissions.
AC is chosen for the target AP that STA provides wireless service according to status information is received, and generates response policy.Its
In, the response policy is consistent with the above, and selection process is also similar to the above, and details are not described herein again.And target AP can be
One, or it is 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, to indicate the STA
One is selected as service AP from those targets AP, is established and is wirelessly connected.
The currently-established wireless connection of scene two, STA
When STA has accessed wireless network, AC receives the status information that at least one AP is sent, which can be AP
Periodicity or event triggering property are sent to AC's.
AC is chosen for the target AP that STA provides wireless service according to status information is received, and generates response policy.Its
In, the response policy is consistent with the above, and selection process is also similar to the above, and details are not described herein again.And target AP can be
It is multiple, this have the advantage that, since AC can not predict STA randomnesss on the move in real time, in order to ensure that STA being capable of root
It is rapidly switched to target AP according to the system mechanism of itself, multiple selectable target AP are provided, to prevent because updating not in time
The problem of caused network insertion handoff, improves the compatibility and fault-tolerance of network insertion.
AC sends response policy at least one AP, so that target AP is when receiving the detection frame of STA broadcast
Send probe response to the STA, select to indicate the STA from the target AP target AP as new service AP, with into
