Fig. 2 is based on the flow process that the access point shown in one embodiment of the invention performs method for managing power supply Figure.The present embodiment propose method can by the access point 100_1~100_n of Fig. 1 any one of them Implement, but the present embodiment for convenience of description, as a example by access point 100_1, power management is described below The detailed step of method.In the present embodiment, the processing unit 120 of access point 100_1 can access storage Computing module 110_1 stored by unit 110, judge module 110_2 and decision module 110_3 with Perform each step of the method for managing power supply that the present invention proposes.
In step S210, computing module 110_1 calculates the average load situation in time interval. In one embodiment, described time interval is predeterminable for very first time length (e.g. 1 hour), and Computing module 110_1 can calculate average load situation in very first time length for the access point 100_1.Institute State average load situation can include being connected to the average customer end number of access point 100_1, average frequency range with And average load/utilization rate etc., but the invention is not restricted to this.
In step S220, it is judged that module 110_2 judge interchanger 200 whether be in first mode or It is interval whether the second system time of access point 100_1 belongs to the second Preset Time, and produces judgement according to this Result.
In one embodiment, the interchanger 200 of the present invention is at least changeable for first mode and the second pattern (for example, battery saving mode and non-battery saving mode, but the invention is not restricted to this), in response to it first to be The system time controls the power supply status supplied to access point 100_1~100_n or execution pattern.Described One system time can be obtained its institute by interchanger 200 by network after interchanger 200 connects to network Belong to the time instantly in time zone.In one embodiment, first is belonged to when the first system time of interchanger 200 Preset Time interval (for example, office's general quitting time, or other are by manager's sets itself Time, but the invention is not restricted to this) when, interchanger 200 is changeable for first mode, and sends and refer to Show the first switching signal CS1 of described first mode to access point 100_1~100_n.On the other hand, When the first system time of interchanger 200 is not belonging to the first Preset Time interval, interchanger 200 can be cut It is changed to the second pattern, and send the second switching signal CS2 indicating described second pattern to access point 100_1~100_n.
Additionally, access point 100_1 also can by network obtain time instantly in time zone belonging to it as its The two system time, and it is interval, to control access to differentiate whether the second system time belongs to the second Preset Time The transmission scope of some 100_1.Access point 100_1 can by this correct operation, timed delivery parallel operation 200 with The system time of access point 100_1.During the interval e.g. office of described second Preset Time next Between, or other are by the time of manager's sets itself, but the invention is not restricted to this.In one embodiment, Exchange the first Preset Time interval and the second Preset Time interval can be set as according to considering of designer Identical or different.
In step S230, decision module 110_3 determines based on average load situation and judged result The transmission scope of access point 100_1.In one embodiment, described transmission scope is for example preset as the first model Enclose, and decision module 110_3 can decide whether will to transmit model based on average load situation and judged result Enclose the second scope of expanding as, or maintain the first scope.In order to illustrate in greater detail the thin of step S230 Joint, separately enumerates Fig. 3 below and illustrates.
Fig. 3 is based on the flow chart that the access point shown in Fig. 2 embodiment performs method for managing power supply.At this In embodiment, the details of step S210 and S220 refer to the related description of Fig. 2, does not repeats them here. Additionally, step S230 of Fig. 2 is more subdivided into step S310~S316 and the S331~S335 of Fig. 3.
After step S220, decision module 110_3 can judge described judged result in step S310 Whether indicate that interchanger 200 is in first mode or the second system time of access point 100_1 belongs to second Preset Time is interval.If interchanger 200 is not at the second system of first mode and access point 100_1 Between to be also not belonging to the second Preset Time interval, then decision module 110_3 can proceed with step S311~ S316.If interchanger 200 is in first mode and/or the second system time of access point 100_1 belongs to Second Preset Time is interval, then decision module 110_3 can proceed with step S331~S335.
In step S311, decision module 110_3 can the time interval of setting access point 100_1 be One time span.Then, in step S312, decision module 110_3 can determine whether access point 100_1 Transmission scope whether be the first scope.If so, in step S313, decision module 110_3 can be sentenced Whether the average load situation of disconnected access point 100_1 is less than first threshold.If so, in step S314, The transmission scope of decision module 110_3 adjustable access point 100 is that (it is more than the first model to the second scope Enclose).Afterwards, decision module 110_3 can return to step S210, to control computing module 110_1 again Calculate the average load situation in time interval (that is, very first time length).
In one embodiment, the 50% of described first threshold e.g. system load, but the present invention does not limit In this.In the case, when decision module 110_3 judges access point 100_1's in step S313 When average load situation is less than described first threshold, in the range of representing the transmission of current access point 100_1 Average load/the utilization rate of the quantity of client and/or access point 100_1 is relatively low.Therefore, decision module The transmission scope that 110_3 can expand access point 100_1 in step S314 is the second scope, to cover More client, and then make full use of the calculation resources of (fully exploit) access point 100_1.
On the other hand, if decision module 110_3 judges that in step S313 average load situation is not less than Described first threshold, represent client in the range of the transmission of current access point 100_1 quantity and/or Average load/the utilization rate of access point 100_1 is not too low.Therefore, decision module 110_3 can be direct Return step S210, again calculate the average load in time interval to control computing module 110_1 Situation.
In other embodiments, if decision module 110_3 judges access point 100_1 in step S312 Transmission scope be not the first scope, decision module 110_3 can step S315 to judge access point Whether the average load situation of 100_1 is higher than Second Threshold.If so, in step S316, mould is determined The transmission scope of block 110_3 adjustable access point 100_1 is the first scope.Afterwards, decision module 110_3 Can return to step S210, again calculate the average negative of access point 100_1 to control computing module 110_1 Carry situation.
In one embodiment, the 90% of described Second Threshold e.g. system load, but the present invention does not limit In this.In the case, when decision module 110_3 judges access point 100_1's in step S315 When average load situation is higher than described Second Threshold, in the range of representing the transmission of current access point 100_1 Average load/the utilization rate of the quantity of client and/or processing unit 120 is close fully loaded.Therefore, certainly The transmission scope that cover half block 110_3 can reduce access point 100_1 in step S316 is the first scope, With the less client of covering, and then mitigate the burden of access point 100_1.
On the other hand, if decision module 110_3 judges that in step S315 average load situation is not higher than Described Second Threshold, represent client in the range of the transmission of current access point 100_1 quantity and/or Average load/the utilization rate of processing unit 120 is not too high.Therefore, decision module 110_3 can be direct Return step S210, again calculate the average load in time interval to control computing module 110_1 Situation.
In other embodiments, if decision module 110_3 judge interchanger 200 be in first mode and/ Or the second system time of access point 100_1 belongs to the second Preset Time interval, then decision module 110_3 Can step S331 to set time interval as the second time span (example less than very first time length Such as 0.5 hour).It is to say, when interchanger 200 is in first mode and/or access point 100_1 When the second system time belongs to the second Preset Time interval (for example, quitting time), decision module 110_3 The observing time for calculating average load situation can be shortened, more immediately to adjust according to average load situation Whole transmission scope.
Then, in step S332, decision module 110_3 recordable access point 100_1 is for multiple The covering situation of client.For example, the recordable transmission scope institute energy instantly of decision module 110_3 The all clients enough covering.Afterwards, in step S333, decision module 110_3 can determine whether to deposit Whether the transmission scope taking a 100_1 is the second scope.
When the transmission scope that decision module 110_3 judges access point 100_1 is not the second scope, in step In rapid S334, the transmission scope of decision module 110_3 adjustable access point 100_1 is the second scope. It is, when interchanger 200 is in the second system time genus of first mode and/or access point 100_1 When the second Preset Time is interval, owing to the client of required service instantly may be less, and distribution is also Sparse, therefore transmission scope can be adjusted to the second bigger scope by decision module 110_3, to cover More client.Afterwards, decision module 110_3 can return to step S210, to control computing module 110_1 calculates the average load situation in time interval (that is, the second time span) again.
But, if decision module 110_3 judges the transmission scope of access point 100_1 in step S333 Be the second scope, then decision module 110_3 can step S335 to return covering of access point 100_1 Lid situation is to after interchanger 200, and decision module 110_3 can return to step S210, to control calculating Module 110_1 calculates the average load situation in time interval (that is, the second time span) again.
In short, the access point 100_1 of the embodiment of the present invention is not at first mode simultaneously at interchanger 200 And the second system time of access point 100_1 be not belonging to the second Preset Time interval when, access point 100_1 Average load situation in time interval for the observable, and determine according to this to use the first scope or the second scope Transmit scope as it.And access point 100_1 is in first mode and/or access point at interchanger 200 When the second system time of 100_1 belongs to the second Preset Time interval, access point 100_1 can exercise use in footpath Second scope transmits scope as it, to cover more client.It is to say, the access of the present invention Point 100_1 can be according to the system time of the execution pattern of interchanger 200 or access point 100_1 itself And average load situation reduces adaptively or expands transmission scope to provide service to client.
Fig. 4 is based on the multiple access points shown in one embodiment of the invention and uses individually the first scope to make Service the schematic diagram of multiple client for transmission scope respectively.In this example, it is assumed that the 4th, n is Interchanger 200 is not at the second system time of first mode and each access point 100_1~100_4 not Belong to the second Preset Time interval (that is, non-quitting time), and each access point 100_1~100_4's is flat Equal load situation is all higher than first threshold.Therefore, each access point 100_1~100_4 can use the first model Enclose R1~R4 as its transmission scope, to cover client 1~14.
Refer to Fig. 5, Fig. 5 is based on the multiple access points shown in one embodiment of the invention and uses individually Second scope services the schematic diagram of multiple client respectively as transmission scope.In the present embodiment, false If interchanger now 200 is in first mode and/or the second system of each access point 100_1~100_4 It is interval that time belongs to the second Preset Time, and the 12nd, the 7th, the 6th, the 4th, the 2nd, client 13 (that is, marked with S The client shown) it is turned off and/or present off-line state.Now, owing to only remaining client the 1st, the 3rd, the 5th, 8~11,14 need service, and therefore each access point 100_1~100_4 can use the second scope R1 '~R4 ' Transmit scope as it, with cover negligible amounts and be distributed sparse client the 1st, the 3rd, the 5th, 8~11, 14。
In one embodiment, in the case that access point 100_1~100_4 expands transmission scope, can Can produce only need the part in access point 100_1~100_4 can cover client the 1st, the 3rd, the 5th, 8~ 11st, the situation of 14.Now, the present invention propose interchanger 200 can by method introduced below come from Access point 100_1~100_4 finds out and be enough to cover client and the 1st, the 3rd, the 5th, the first of 8~11,14 deposit Take a little, and then some unwanted second access point in forbidden energy access point 100_1~100_4.Such one Coming, interchanger 200 can make full use of the resource of the first access point, and save the second access point simultaneously Power consumption.
Fig. 6 is based on the flow process that the interchanger shown in one embodiment of the invention performs method for managing power supply Figure.In the present embodiment, the processing unit 230 of interchanger 200 can access stored by storage element 220 Judge module 220_1, handover module 220_2, collection module 220_3, find module 220_4 with And adjusting module 220_5 is to perform each step of the method for managing power supply that the present embodiment proposes.
In step S610, it is judged that whether module 220_1 judges the first system time of interchanger 200 Belong to the first Preset Time interval.In the present embodiment, e.g. typically handle official business in the first Preset Time interval The quitting time of room, or this has not been limited by other by the time of manager's sets itself, the present invention System.
In step S620, when the first system time belongs to the first Preset Time interval, handover module The changeable interchanger of 220_2 200 is first mode, and sends the first switching signal of instruction first mode CS1 to access point 100_1~100_n.
In step S630, collection module 220_3 collects each access point 100_1~100_n in response to the The covering situation for multiple clients that one switching signal CS1 is returned.In step S640, seek Look for module 220_4 according to the covering situation of each access point 100_1~100_n from multiple access point 100_1 ~100_n finds out at least one first access point that be enough to service multiple client.In step S650 In, in adjusting module 220_5 forbidden energy access point after the preset lime outside at least one first access point At least one second access point.
In order to illustrate in greater detail step S640~S650, the present invention also in detail by step S640~ Step S710~S770 that S650 is subdivided into Fig. 7 illustrates, and the form in combination with Fig. 5 is entered Row explanation.Fig. 7 is based on the execution stream of the searching module shown in one embodiment of the invention and adjusting module Cheng Tu.Refer to Fig. 5 and Fig. 7, in step S710, find module 220_4 according to each access point The covering situation of 100_1~100_4 finds out the particular clients being covered by minimum access point.
