Detailed Description
In order to make the aforementioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention comprehensible, embodiments accompanied with figures are described in further detail below.
One of the core ideas of the embodiments of the present invention is to provide a method and an apparatus for sending a probe response frame, so as to effectively improve the wireless service quality and user experience when an STA roams. The invention can be applied to the embodiment that the STA roams from the AP under the same wireless network to another AP, and particularly, when the STA moves out of the signal coverage range of the currently accessed AP, the STA selects a target AP according to the roaming decision of the STA, thereby completing the roaming by accessing the target AP. In addition, the invention can also be applied to the scenes that the STA is off-line and then on-line from a certain AP, the STA is on-line for the first time and the like, and particularly, in the process that the STA successfully accesses the target AP, the invention is mainly divided into three stages, namely: a SCAN phase (SCAN), an Authentication phase (Authentication), and an Association phase (Association). The invention mainly induces the STA to be capable of accessing the AP with better wireless service quality by interfering the response time delay of the STA in the scanning stage, thereby improving the wireless service quality and the user experience when the STA roams.
Referring to fig. 1, a flowchart illustrating steps of an embodiment of a method for sending a probe response frame according to the present invention is shown, where the method is applied to an AP, and specifically includes the following steps:
step 101, a probe request frame from a STA is received.
Specifically, in the scanning stage during the STA accessing the destination AP, the STA actively transmits a Probe Request frame (Probe Request frame) in a broadcast manner to wait for the AP response of the Probe Request frame to be received.
And step 102, when the STA which needs to respond is determined according to the probe request frame, determining the waiting time corresponding to the signal strength according to the signal strength measured when the probe request frame is received and the corresponding relation between the preset signal strength range and the waiting time.
Specifically, after receiving the probe request frame, the AP may determine whether to respond to the STA by:
judging whether the detection request frame carries a specified Service Set Identifier (SSID);
if not, determining that the STA needs to be responded;
if yes, judging whether the SSID carried in the detection request frame is the same as the SSID of the AP or not, if yes, determining that the STA needs to be responded, and if not, determining that the STA does not need to be responded.
That is, the STA may or may not carry the specified SSID when actively broadcasting the probe request frame. Under the condition of carrying the specified SSID, the method means that not all APs receiving the detection request frame respond, but only the APs with the same SSID as the specified SSID can respond to the detection request frame; without carrying a specified SSID, it means that all APs receiving the probe request frame respond.
In this step, the signal strength can be regarded as the signal strength of the STA, and the specific measurement process is prior art and will not be described in detail herein.
In the invention, a preset list is stored in advance on the AP side, the preset list records the corresponding relation between a plurality of preset signal strength ranges and waiting time lengths, and the larger the average value of the signal strength in the signal strength range is, the longer the waiting time length corresponding to the signal strength range is, and the number of the signal strength in each signal strength range is usually the same. Therefore, after receiving the probe request frame, the AP searches which preset signal strength range the signal strength of the STA falls into according to the correspondence, thereby determining the waiting duration corresponding to the signal strength.
And step 103, after the determined waiting time length, sending a probe response frame to the STA.
Specifically, after the determined waiting time period, the AP sends a Probe Response frame (Probe Response frame) to the STA, so that when the STA selects the AP that responds last during roaming to access, the probability of accessing the AP with better wireless service quality is higher.
In summary, in the technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention, a probe request frame from a terminal STA is received; determining the waiting time corresponding to the signal strength according to the signal strength measured when the detection request frame is received and the corresponding relation between the preset signal strength range and the waiting time; after the determined waiting time is passed, the probe response frame is sent to the STA, so that intervention on time delay of the probe response frame returned by the AP end is realized, the probability of accessing the STA to the AP with better wireless service quality during roaming is improved, and the wireless service quality and the user experience are further improved.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the AP may further continue to wait for a preset time period after the determined waiting time period elapses, and then transmit a probe response frame to the STA. In the embodiment of the present invention, the preset time duration may be any time duration randomly selected from a preset time range. Specifically, a preset duration is introduced for realizing random hashing of the waiting duration.
For example, the following steps are carried out: if the distances from the AP1, the AP2, and the AP3 to the STA are very small, the difference between the signal strength values of the STA acquired by the AP1, the AP2, and the AP3 is also very small, and the signal strengths of the STA measured by the AP1, the AP2, and the AP3 may fall into the same signal strength value range, so that the waiting durations corresponding to the signal strengths of the STA determined by the AP 1-the AP3 will be the same waiting duration. In this case, the STA receives the probe response frames from the AP1, the AP2, and the AP3 at the same time.
Therefore, in order to avoid the occurrence of this phenomenon, after determining the waiting duration corresponding to the signal strength, the AP1, the AP2, and the AP3 respectively select a random duration (i.e., a preset duration) from the preset duration range, and after the waiting duration and the respective preset durations, respectively send probe response frames to the STAs, so that the waiting durations corresponding to different APs are dispersed. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the random duration needs to be selected within a certain range (i.e., the above mentioned preset duration range), and the duration obtained by adding the maximum value in the range to the waiting duration cannot exceed the access response period of the STA.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the preset list stored locally by the AP further records a plurality of preset correspondence relationships between signal strength ranges and transmission powers, and the larger the average value of the signal strengths in the signal strength ranges is, the larger the transmission power corresponding to the signal strength ranges is. Therefore, before sending the probe response frame to the STA, the AP may find out which preset signal strength range the signal strength of the STA falls into according to the corresponding relationship between the preset signal strength range and the transmission power, so as to further determine the transmission power corresponding to the signal strength, and subsequently send the probe response frame by using the determined transmission power, so that the STA can access the AP with better wireless service quality.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, after determining the transmission power corresponding to the signal strength of the STA, the AP may further add the transmission power to a preset transmission power to calculate a sum of the transmission power and the preset transmission power. In the embodiment of the present invention, the preset transmission power is similar to the preset duration, and similarly, a random power (that is, the preset transmission power) is randomly selected from a preset power range, the preset transmission power is added to the determined transmission power, and after the determined waiting duration or the determined waiting duration and the preset duration, the probe response frame is sent to the STA with the calculated transmission power, so as to implement random hashing of the transmission power.
In order to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the following detailed description is made with specific examples.
Referring to fig. 2, a network architecture diagram of an embodiment of the present invention is shown. The signal coverage ranges of AP1, AP2, and AP3 are shown in fig. 2. In the embodiment of the present invention, an operator sets a preset list in each AP in advance, where the preset list includes a plurality of preset signal strength ranges and a corresponding relationship between a waiting duration and a transmission power. As shown in table 1:
TABLE 1
Signal intensity Range (dB) Waiting time (ns) Launch power (dBm)
56-60 200 22
50-55 150 20
In addition, in the embodiment of the present invention, the operator needs to preset a range of the random time length (i.e. the preset time length in the embodiment of the present invention) and a range of the random power (i.e. the preset transmitting power in the embodiment of the present invention), specifically, in the embodiment, the preset range of the random time length is: 1ns-10ns, and the preset range of random power is 0-3 dBm. The numerical values in the preset list, the random time length and the range of the random power can be set by an operator according to actual conditions, and the invention is not limited to this.
With continued reference to fig. 2, in an embodiment of the present invention, the STA is in position a before moving and accesses the wireless network through the AP 1. When the STA moves from position a to position E in fig. 2, since the STA has moved out of the signal coverage of the AP1, the STA will disconnect from the AP1 and start scanning whether there are other APs around, so as to find out a destination AP that can be accessed, i.e., broadcast a probe request frame.
Assume that AP2 and AP3 receive the probe request frame and decide to respond according to the probe request frame. Assume that the signal strength of the STA measured by the AP2 is 50 dB. The signal strength of the STA measured by the AP3 is 56 dB.
The AP2 and the AP3 query locally stored preset lists, respectively. The AP2 determines that the signal strength of the STA falls within the signal strength range of 50-55dB by querying the preset list, and the signal strength range corresponds to a latency of 150ns and a transmit power of 20 dBm. Subsequently, the AP2 will randomly select a duration within a preset duration range to add to the wait duration, and the AP2 will also randomly select a power within a random range of transmit powers to add to the transmit power. In this embodiment, if the random duration selected by the AP2 is 1ns, the final waiting duration of the AP2 is 151ns, and if the random transmit power selected by the AP2 is 0.1dBm, the final transmit power of the AP2 is 20.1 dBm. Similarly, the AP3 determines that the signal strength of the STA falls within the signal strength range of 56-60dB by querying the preset list, where the signal strength range corresponds to a waiting duration of 200ns and a transmission power of 22 dBm. The random duration selected by the AP3 is 3ns, and the final wait duration for the AP3 is 203 ns. The random power chosen by the AP3 is 0.2dBm, and the final transmit power of the AP3 is 22.2 dBm.
The AP2 will send a probe response frame to the STA at 20.1dBm transmit power after 151 ns. And the AP3 will send a probe response frame to the STA at 22.2dBm transmit power after 203 ns.
The STA receives the probe response frames transmitted from the AP2 and the AP3 in sequence, and determines a destination AP through a predetermined rule. In an embodiment of the present invention, the predetermined rule is: and determining the AP corresponding to the last received detection response frame as the target AP according to the sequence of the received detection response frames.
Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, the AP corresponding to the probe response frame received by the STA last is AP3, and it is determined that AP3 is the destination AP. The STA establishes a communication connection with the AP3 and performs subsequent data interaction, thereby completing roaming.
On the basis of the above embodiments, the present embodiment also provides a device for sending a probe response frame.
