Description

Channel selecting method and device
Technical field
The present invention relates to the communications field, refer to a kind of channel selecting method and device especially.
Background technology
WLAN(Wireless Local Area Networks, WLAN) technology completes 11Mbps from 802.11b, to the 54Mbps of 802.11a and 802.11g, arrive the leap of the physical layer rate of the highest 450Mbps of 802.11N again, and with AMPDU(Aggregated MAC Protocol DataUnit, polymerization mac-layer protocol data cell), AMSDU(Aggregated MAC Service DataUnit, polymerization MAC layer Service Data Unit), SGI(Short Guard Interval, short protection interval) this kind of ancillary technique, make WLAN wireless traffic speed more and more faster, become the expansion of cable network gradually with supplementary.
Along with further strong for high-speed wireless access demand of user, and notebook computer, the support of mobile phone to high speed WLAN are more widespread, WLAN technology obtains applying more and more widely, no longer be confined to this kind of privately owned occasion of family wireless online, on airport, library, exhibition room, coffee shop, the public domain such as convention hall, the equal WLAN channel that can search also can access easily, realizes surfing the Net fast.
In WLAN wireless application, two frequency ranges are had to use, 2.4G frequency range and 5G frequency range.Because these two frequency ranges are ISM(industrial/scientific/medical, industrial scientific medical) frequency range is without the need to licensing during use, therefore very high in the wireless device density of these two band operation, mutual interference is very large, directly affects the effect of wireless traffic.For China, 2.4G frequency range is divided into 1 ~ 13 channel, adjacent channel centre frequency be spaced apart 5MHz; Existing 149,153,157,161,165 these channels of 5G frequency range, adjacent channel centre frequency be spaced apart 20MHz.
The relatively morning that WLAN terminal equipment due to 2.4G frequency range occurs, occupation rate of market is high, and the free space attenuation of 2.4G frequency range is less, relative 5G frequency range, it is more general, more at the wlan device of 2.4G band operation, also comparatively crowded that 2.4G frequency range uses, air interference is comparatively strong, and wireless traffic is experienced and occurred that the probability of fluctuation is very large.
Below for 2.4G frequency range, the problem of WLAN channel placement is described.
Although 2.4G frequency range has 1 ~ 13 totally 13 channels, because the interval between channel center frequency only has 5MHz, therefore real non-overlapped channel is little, general actual use in can according to 1,6,11 layouts, individual cases can use 3,8,13 channels.Although 2.4G frequency range also supports 40MHz bandwidth mode, consider disturbing factor, in practical application, 2.4G frequency range is general only can adopt 20MHz bandwidth.
At AP(Access Point, access point) concentrate network environment under, in order to reduce same frequency under WLAN actual scene and adjacent frequency interference as far as possible, channel placement must be carried out to all AP in environment.During layout, not only to consider the interference of horizontal direction, also will consider the interference of vertical direction, and 2.4G frequency range can non-overlapped channel number only have 3, therefore channel placement's work often takes time and effort, and effect is not remarkable.For traditional artificial channel placement, before optimizing channel, first to investigate: obtain the position of AP, building, a place house type sketch, MAC(Medium/Media Access Control, physical address), the information such as existing channel and neighbor AP channel, draw sketch according to finding more afterwards, mark AP information, carefully each AP of consideration channel this how to arrange, after having confirmed channel, more one by one channel is solidified to each AP.The optimum channel that AP should select, the antenna type be often connected with AP position, AP and the factor such as gain, AP field intensity closely related.Want these factors comprehensive, for each AP selects a suitable working channel, difficulty is larger.Under some high density layouts scene, hundreds of platform AP is often had in a building, a community with 10 solitary buildings, often just there are several thousand AP, as independently determined channel to each AP in artificial mode, workload can be very large, and the increase and decrease of follow-up AP all may have an impact to channel placement, often needs channel again layout when increasing and decreasing more.
Based on above-mentioned consideration, allow WLAN concentrate each AP in network environment from the most suitable working channel of main separation, very have realistic meaning.The workload of manually carrying out channel placement can be saved like this, reduce the difficulty of channel placement, without the need to considering the factors such as AP position, antenna type.When AP increases and decreases, only need re-start an automatic channel and select, without the need to the channel distribution situation of other AP around the AP of consideration increase and decrease, allow AP self go to analyze WLAN environmental aspect, and independently determine working channel, selection result can be made more accurate.
At present, the AP of a lot of producer generally supports that automatic channel is selected, but its select and handoff procedure parallel often, all AP namely in environment run certain selection algorithm simultaneously, scanning interference channel around, and determine to disturb minimum channel as oneself follow-up working channel.The shortcoming of this parallel selection scheme is: the while of multiple AP during executing arithmetic, can carry out channel switching simultaneously and scan, before the channel of all AP is determined, WLAN environment also changes in the moment.In a unstable wireless environment, select an optimum channel difficulty determined very large, and algorithm is difficult to convergence, sometimes even can be absorbed in loop computation.That is, AP is in the process that scan channel calculates and channel finally switches, and the parallel scan along with other AP of surrounding operates, and the change of WLAN environment must cause irrational Channel assignment.Parallel channel selection profile, can cause and judge it is best channel at some time points, at the time point of subsequently, becomes and is no longer applicable to this AP.

Wherein, scanning channel list 110 provides all channel numbers to be scanned, and alternatives list 111 provides to be determined and all alternatives number of migration.
As shown in Figure 3, combined field intensity values can be obtained by following operation:
MAC(medium access control, medium access control)/RSSI information acquiring operation 201, receive the output from scan channel module 105, obtain the MAC/RSSI information of all AP on present channel and adjacent channel.
MAC/RSSI information chained list aging update operation 202, MAC/RSSI information is put into chained list, then upgrades for already present information, and start timer and carry out aging judgement, aging MAC/RSSI information will be deleted from chained list.After chain table handling terminates, enter same adjacent frequency RSSI pre-operation 203 and process.
With adjacent frequency RSSI pre-operation 203, from chained list, take out node, for the field intensity value of adjacent channel, decay according to channel distance (i.e. the distance of adjacent channel and this channel) and preset attenuation; For the field intensity value of present channel, do not do attenuation operations.
DBm to pw conversion and accumulation operations 204, according to the operating result of same adjacent frequency RSSI pre-operation 203, be pw(micromicrowatt by field intensity value from being not easy to directly cumulative dBm unit conversion) unit, and carry out accumulation operations on this basis, obtain the combined field intensity values in units of pw.
Pw accumulated value is to dBm conversion operations 205, and by the combined field intensity values of the pw unit that dBm to pw conversion and accumulation operations 204 add up, reverse conversion becomes the combined field intensity values in units of dBm.
Present channel combined field intensity values record operation 206, carries out record, as the judgment basis of subsequent channel determination module 106 by the combined field intensity values that present channel calculates.
Further, as shown in Figure 4, combined field intensity values can also be obtained by following operation:
MAC/RSSI information acquiring operation 301, receives the output from scan channel module 105, obtains the MAC/RSSI information of all AP of present channel.
MAC/RSSI information chained list aging update operation 302, MAC/RSSI information is put into chained list, then upgrades for already present information, and start timer and carry out aging judgement, aging MAC/RSSI information will be deleted from chained list.
Field intensity value, according to the field intensity value of all AP of present channel, is pw unit from being not easy to directly cumulative dBm unit conversion by dBm to pw conversion and accumulation operations 303, and carry out accumulation operations on this basis, obtain each field intensity value and, be called CRSSI, unit is pw.
Each RSSI interval neighbor AP number distributed acquisition operation 304, obtains each field intensity value of present channel interval, as the neighbor AP number of [0 ,-45] dBm, [-46 ,-65] dBm, [-66 ,-75] dBm, [-75 ,-85] dBm scope.These interval distribution representatives are near, in, far away, far neighbor AP, the neighbor AP in these intervals to the interference of this AP by strong to weak.
Normalization neighbor AP number NNUM calculating operation 305, according to the interval distribution results of each RSSI interval neighbor AP number distributed acquisition operation 304, and consider the neighbor AP in these intervals to the interference of AP on this channel by strong extremely weak, the neighbor AP number in each interval is multiplied by different weights, to obtain normalization neighbor AP number NNUM.Such as [0,-45] dBm, [-46,-65] dBm, [-66,-75] dBm, [-75,-85] the neighbor AP number of dBm is respectively N1, N2, N3, N4, then can consider one group of weights 100,70,25,5, normalization neighbor AP number is: NNUM=(N1*100+N2*70+N3*25+N4*5)/100.Such as, in a specific embodiment, N1, N2, N3, N4 are respectively 2,11,10,56, then the normalization neighbor AP number NNUM calculated is 15.
Multiplication operations 306, by dBm to pw conversion and accumulation operations 303, normalization neighbor AP number NNUM calculating operation 305 result carry out multiply operation.
The result of multiplication operations 306, to dBm conversion operations 307, is converted in units of dBm by pw accumulated value, and this i.e. revised combined field intensity values, and be called MRSSI, unit is dBm.
Present channel combined field intensity values record operation 308, carries out record, as the judgment basis of subsequent channel determination module 106 by the combined field intensity values that present channel calculates.
Aforesaid operations 301-308 for the sake of simplicity, does not consider the impact of adjacent channel.When the affecting of adjacent channel need be considered, the combined field intensity values (unit is dBm) of adjacent channel still can be obtained by the computational methods similar with aforesaid operations 301-308, according to channel distance (i.e. the distance of adjacent channel and this channel) and after the combined field intensity values of preset attenuation to adjacent channel decay, then the combined field intensity values after decaying is merged in the combined field intensity values of present channel goes.When the combined field intensity values of adjacent channel and the combined field intensity values of present channel merge, still need to be first that pw is added by unit conversion, then be dBm by the unit conversion of addition result.
As shown in Figure 5, the basic procedure of channel selecting method of the present invention is as follows:
Step 1: obtain the AP address list treating channel configuration in community.Ordinary circumstance, AP address list can be enumerated by the IP address of AP, and follow-up channel selection operations all based on this list, can process AP in turn.
Step 2: by information such as the combined field intensity values of AP address and current working channel, this channel, be organized into form, so that the situation after optimizing with step 13 contrasts.
Step 3: the AP address list arranging out according to step 1, is all set to silent status by each AP.Through this operation, all AP in community do not send out wireless data packet and supervisory packet, therefore can not produce interference to AP Channel assignment subsequently.
Step 4: select each AP successively.This is namely from AP address list, starts to select an AP from the beginning to the end according to putting in order of AP.
Step 5: the AP chosen for step 4, closes the silent status of AP.Now, this AP can normally send Beacon(beacon) frame and Probe Response(probe response) frame.
Step 6: channel scanning operations is carried out to the AP chosen.AP can select a channel from scanning channel list, by active scan or drive sweep mode, obtains the information such as the MAC/RSSI of this channel, particularly, comprises the following steps 7-8.
Step 7:AP selects a channel from scanning channel list, and switches to this channel packet receiving and give out a contract for a project.
On the channel that step 8:AP selects in step 7, by active scan or drive sweep mode, obtain the information such as the MAC/RSSI of this channel.
Step 9: judge whether the channel in scanning channel list has switched complete all, and whether the channel namely in scanning channel list is acquired the information such as MAC/RSSI all, if also have channel not switch, then goes to step 6 process, otherwise performs step 10.
Step 10: based on each channel respectively in scanning channel list, in conjunction with the RSSI information of this channel and adjacent channel, calculates the combined field intensity values of each channel.The computational methods of combined field intensity values, the explanation can be correlated with see Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, Fig. 6 is the example of the combination RSSI of the embodiment of the present invention.
Step 11: from alternatives list, according to the combined field intensity values of each channel that step 10 calculates, selects the channel that a combined field intensity values is minimum.It should be noted that alternatives list is a subset of scanning channel list.The scanning channel list of such as 2.4G comprises 1,6,11,3,8,13 channels, and field layout only allows 1,6,11 channels, and therefore alternatives list can only be 1,6,11.And 3,8,13 only input as data during same adjacent frequency RSSI conversion.
Step 12:AP migrates to the channel selected by step 11, and shows this channel information.Now, AP normally will send Beacon and Probe Resp on this channel, and allow user to access, and can normally work.Its signal strength sent is using same adjacent frequency interference source input when carrying out Channel assignment as other AP.
Step 13: judge whether the AP in AP address list all travels through complete, if still have AP untreated, then skips to step 4, continues to select next AP to run channel selection algorithm, if without residue AP, then go to step 14.‘
Step 14: the channel selection algorithm of all AP all runs complete, by information such as the IP address of AP and the new working channel of selection, the combined field intensity values of this channel, is organized into form.
Step 15: channel selection algorithm terminates, all AP are all in normal operating conditions.
Namely can be in community through above-mentioned steps 1-15 and treat that the AP of channel configuration selects suitable working channel, if the AP in community there occurs change, such as increase AP newly, or delete AP, then above-mentioned steps 1-15 can be re-executed, again for the AP in community selects suitable working channel.
The building of 100 AP is installed for one, first allows all AP mourn in silence, then start AP one by one, allow each AP freely scan and the channel selecting the interference of current location minimum.Suppose to allow the channel selected to only have 3: 1,6,11.Adjacent AP in this building can be divided into a lot of microcellulors by its sphere of influence, and at inside micro cells, channel must distinguish, and the spacing of microcellulor is relatively far away, and affect very little, channel completely can be multiplexing.When running channel selection algorithm, AP needs to choose an optimum channel at inside micro cells.Can simply be interpreted as: due to geographic isolation, by 1,6,11 channel bank, 3 teams in each microcellulor, have N number of microcellulor in Dan Yige building, therefore can arrange 3*N team, 3*N approximates 100.The division of this microcellulor, does not need artificial investigation, does not have boundary clear and definite especially yet.
Compared with prior art, the present invention is the channel selecting method of serial, within the suitable time, completes each AP in community one by one and, to the selection of optimum channel, avoids channel when simultaneously selecting uncertain, can effectively reduce mutual air interference.Wherein, the calculating of combined field intensity values, comparatively accurately can obtain the maximum possible disturbed condition of WLAN environment residing for AP, for the selection of optimum channel provides foundation.
The operation that this serial channel is selected, eliminates Field Research in early stage, the operation that manual analysis is optimized.Channel selecting method of the present invention both can carry out for a community, also can carry out for certain building, and the AP that can also only newly install for carries out, and algorithm is simple.The channel number of scanning, the sweep time of each channel all can be arranged as required, improve the flexibility of system.Channel selecting method of the present invention does not limit by scene, all can use in low-density, high density AP scene, many floors covering scene, room point covering scene.When carrying out Channel assignment, each AP, successively by the weak impact of all AP of sensing neighbor honeycomb and the strong impact of other AP of this honeycomb, comprehensively obtains a combination decision content, therefrom chooses best channel.This mode is without the geographical position of region-of-interest AP quantity, each AP and antenna, floor distribution and the faint gap of field intensity, simple.Be serial operation because each AP carries out Channel assignment, have selected certain channel and namely keep fixing, avoid the mutual interference of lasting change when parallel channel is selected, the substitute is static measurable mutual interference, therefore the result of Channel assignment is more accurate.
The present invention can reduce interference in system, even if there is WLAN interference signal (system the is outer) interference of multiple operator at scene, technical scheme of the present invention is still effective.Channel assignment not only for 2.4G is effective, and in 5G frequency range, this technical scheme is still feasible.This technical scheme is mainly used in the WLAN network planning network optimization stage, namely keeps fixing, do not need periodic duty Channel assignment after automatically choosing channel.
