One beacon interval is different from the second beacon interval, and the value of the second beacon interval is used for the STA instruction AP hairs for receiving the beacon frame
Send the cycle of beacon frame.
The beacon frame information cycle and the reception condition of beacon frame that STA indicates generally according to beacon frame determine beacon frame
Loss situation, when determining that the STA continuously loses the beacon frame of predetermined quantity, the STA can start to roam.Beacon is sent in AP
The AP that is indicated in the actual cycle and beacon frame of frame send beacon frame cycle it is inconsistent in the case of, the STA that is associated with the AP
The beacon frame loss situation determined is not inconsistent with beacon frame actual loss situation.For example, when the value of beacon interval field is less than letter
When marking the actual transmission cycle of frame, the beacon LOF quantity that STA is determined is more than beacon frame actual loss quantity.For another example
When the value of beacon interval field is revised as the second beacon interval more than the actual transmission cycle of beacon frame by AP, STA is determined
The beacon LOF quantity gone out is less than beacon frame actual loss quantity.Therefore, the beacon interval word in the beacon frame that AP is sent
When the value of section and the actual transmission cycle of beacon frame differ, AP realizes the intervention to STA roaming behaviors.
With reference in a first aspect, in the first realization of first aspect, sent in AP according to the first beacon interval period
Before beacon frame, the beacon frame information method also includes：AP is when the amount of the AP frames cached reaches the first numerical value, by beacon frame
Beacon interval field value be revised as less than beacon frame the actual transmission cycle value.
Because the transmission cycle of the STA associated with AP the beacon frames determined according to the value of beacon interval field is less than actual send out
The cycle is sent, therefore STA can terminate dormancy in advance.Accordingly, some STA can send null frame after dormancy is terminated to AP, and AP will

Embodiment
To make the object, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, below in conjunction with accompanying drawing to embodiment party of the present invention
Formula is described in further detail.
Fig. 1 is refer to, the structural representation of the beacon frame information system provided it illustrates an exemplary embodiment of the invention
Figure.The beacon frame information system includes：AP 110 and at least one STA 120.
AP 110 sends beacon frame.STA 120 in the signal cover of the AP 110 can receive AP 110
The beacon frame of transmission.
STA 120 can be any wlan device, such as smart mobile phone, tablet personal computer, wearable device or multimedia
Playback equipment etc..
Optionally, STA 120 can associated AP 110.
Optionally, above-mentioned beacon frame can be broadcast frame or unicast frame.
Usually, the beacon frame that the AP cycles send is broadcast frame, the recipient address (English in the beacon frame：
Receiver address, RA) it is broadcast address.In the embodiment of the present invention, in order to individually intervene specific STA behavior, AP
Can be send in the STA cycles be unicast frame beacon frame, the recipient address of the beacon frame is the address of the STA.Optionally, believe
The address for marking the STA that recipient address limits in frame can be the medium education (English of the STA：medium access
Control, MAC) address.
No matter beacon frame is broadcast frame or unicast frame, beacon frame includes beacon interval field, the letter that AP is sent every time
The value of beacon interval field can be the same or different in mark frame.Wherein, the value of beacon interval field is used to indicate that the AP is sent out
Send the transmission cycle of beacon frame.AP can be defined as by the value of the beacon interval field in beacon frame by receiving the STA of the beacon frame
Send the transmission cycle of beacon frame.
Shown in Figure 2, it is the flow chart of the beacon frame information method provided in one embodiment of the invention.This reality
Example is applied to be applied to come for example, the beacon frame information method bag in AP 110 as shown in Figure 1 in the beacon frame information method
Include following steps：
Step 201, when the amount of frame of AP cachings reaches the first numerical value, AP is by the value of the beacon interval field in beacon frame
It is revised as the second beacon interval less than the first beacon interval.
Wherein, the first beacon interval is the actual transmission cycle that AP sends beacon frame.Here the frame for the AP cachings said
Amount can be the quantity of the frame of caching, or the data volume of the frame of caching.Alternatively, the first beacon interval is the second beacon
The integral multiple at interval.
By the quantity of frame that caches of the amount of the frame of AP cachings, the first numerical value be 3000, the first beacon interval be 100 millis
It is illustrated exemplified by second (ms), when the quantity of the frame of AP cachings reaches 3000, AP is by the beacon interval in beacon frame
The value of field is revised as the second beacon interval less than the first beacon interval.
Amount using the frame of AP cachings is that the data volume of frame of caching, the first beacon interval as 100ms, the first numerical value are 512
Mbytes illustrate, when the data volume of the frame of AP cachings reaches 512 Mbytes, AP is by beacon interval field in beacon frame
Value be revised as the second beacon interval less than the first beacon interval.
For example, above-mentioned second beacon interval is 50ms.
In actual applications, beacon frame can be broadcast frame or unicast frame.
In a kind of possible implementation, AP uniformly can send broadcast frame form to each STA associated with the AP
Beacon frame, now AP the recipient address in beacon frame is arranged to broadcast address；The STA of the beacon frame is received by second
Beacon interval is defined as the transmission cycle that AP sends beacon frame.
In alternatively possible implementation, STAs of the AP according to belonging to the frame and frame of caching, determine to meet unicast
The STA of condition, AP are that the amount of the frame for the STA cachings for meeting unicast conditions is more than predetermined value, and AP is to the STA for meeting unicast conditions
The beacon frame of unicast frame form is sent, now the recipient address in beacon frame is arranged to these and meets unicast conditions by AP
STA address.
Recipient addresses of the STA in beacon frame determines whether to handle beacon frame.STA receives beacon frame
Afterwards, when in the beacon frame recipient address be broadcast address, or during the address including the STA itself, the STA is carried out to beacon frame
Processing.
STA determines the dormancy period of itself generally according to the value of the beacon interval field indicated in beacon frame.Traditional, AP
The value of beacon interval field and the actual transmission cycle of AP transmission beacon frames are consistent in the beacon frame of transmission.Within a beacon frame
Beacon interval field value be modified to the second beacon interval less than the first beacon interval in the case of, associated with AP
After STA receives the beacon frame, it can be reduced according to the dormancy period that beacon interval field determines, such STA can wake up in advance
To receive the beacon frame of AP transmissions in advance, and then can also be diminished according to the time delay of beacon frame from AP acquisition data frames, can be quick
Reduce the amount of the STA cached in AP data frame in ground.
Optionally, in order that the STA to wake up can receive data frame from AP as soon as possible, STA continues one dormancy of dormancy
After cycle, if the STA opens the beacon frame that reception antenna does not receive AP transmissions, the STA can also send null frame to AP, corresponding
After AP receives the null frame, the STA of the transmission of caching null frame data frame can be sent to the STA.
Step 202, when meeting to roam guiding conditions, the value of beacon interval field is revised as being less than between the first beacon by AP
Every the second beacon interval, or, the cycle for sending beacon frame is revised as between the first beacon more than the second beacon interval by AP
Every.
Wherein, it can be to reach second value with the AP STA associated quantity to roam guiding conditions, can also be connection
The link-quality of the wire link of the AP is less than first threshold, can also be that AP detects that packet loss reaches third value etc..The
One beacon interval is the integral multiple of the second beacon interval.
Optionally, AP is detecting the CRC of the packet received from wire link (English：cyclic
Redundancy check, CRC) error rate when reaching first threshold, assert that the link-quality of AP connection wire links is less than
First threshold, judge to meet roaming guiding conditions.
The quantity for the packet that AP receives from wire link it is excessively huge, beyond AP disposal ability when, can send out
Raw congestion causes data-bag lost.When AP detects that packet loss reaches third value, judge to meet roaming guiding conditions.
When the second beacon interval is less than the first beacon interval, the AP transmission beacons that the STA of beacon frame is determined are received
The cycle of frame is less than the AP actual cycles for sending beacon frame.The STA according to the transmission cycle of the beacon frame indicated in beacon frame with
And the reception condition of beacon frame, the beacon LOF quantity determined are more than the actual loss quantity of beacon frame.As shown in figure 3,
First beacon interval is 100ms, and the second beacon interval is 50ms, with arrow mark in Fig. 3 (1) at the time of AP sends beacon frame
Go out, AP that STA is determined is marked at the time of sending beacon frame in Fig. 3 (2) with arrow, at the time of STA receives beacon frame
Fig. 3 is marked in (3) with arrow.STA is after 0ms receives beacon frame, when AP loses in the 100ms beacon frame sent
During mistake, STA determines 50ms, 100ms and 150ms beacon LOF after 200ms receives beacon frame,
Therefore STA determines continuously to lost three beacon frames.Namely the beacon LOF quantity that STA assert is more than actually losing for beacon frame
Lose quantity.
STA will be considered that STA accesses AP letter when the quantity for the beacon frame for determining continuously to lose reaches predetermined threshold
Number intensity is weak, can now roam to other AP.Therefore, it is less than the first beacon interval in the value of the beacon interval field of beacon frame
When, because the quantity of the beacon frame of the STA continuous loss determined is more than beacon frame actual loss quantity, determined so as to improve STA
Beacon frame continuously lose quantity and reach the possibility of predetermined threshold, namely improve the STA and roam to possibility on other AP
Property.
Similar, the beacon frame that AP is sent can be broadcast frame or unicast frame.
Step 203, when STA signal intensity is less than Second Threshold, the value of beacon interval field is revised as being less than by AP
Second beacon interval of the first beacon interval, or, the cycle for sending beacon frame is revised as the more than the second beacon interval
One beacon interval, the recipient address of beacon frame are the address of the STA.
Wherein, signal intensity can be received signal strength (English：received signal strength
Indication, RSSI), the first beacon interval is the integral multiple of the second beacon interval.
In general, when STA signal intensity is relatively low, show that STA cannot be serviced preferably under the AP of association, because
This now AP can be sent to by adjustment the STA beacon frame the beacon interval field sent in cycle or beacon frame, draw
The relatively low STA of signal intensity is led to roam away faster.
When actually realizing, AP pairs is monitored with the AP STA associated signal intensity, when a certain STA signal intensities
During less than Second Threshold, AP sends the beacon frame that recipient address is the STA addresses, and beacon frame now is unicast frame.
It is 100ms to illustrate using Second Threshold as 20dBm, the first beacon interval.STA1 and STA 2 accesses AP letter
Number intensity is 10dBm, and now the second beacon interval can be defined as 50ms by AP, namely AP is by the beacon interval word in beacon frame
The value of section is arranged to 50ms.The beacon frame that AP sends the address that recipient address is STA1 every 100ms, sends every 100ms
Recipient address is the beacon frame of STA 2 address.After STA1 receives the beacon frame for the address that recipient address is STA 1,
The possibility that the STA1 roams to other AP improves；, should after STA2 receives the beacon frame for the address that recipient address is STA 2
The possibility that STA2 roams to other AP improves.
Step 204, when the frequent associated APs of STA, the value of beacon interval field is revised as being more than the first beacon interval by AP
The second beacon interval, the recipient address of beacon frame is the address of the STA.
Wherein, the second beacon interval is the integral multiple of the first beacon interval.
At the time of AP records each STA and goes to associate with the AP, will be reached in scheduled duration with the AP numbers for going to associate
The STA of four numerical value is defined as frequently associating the STA of the AP., will be predetermined or AP is at the time of record each STA and associated with the AP
The STA for reaching the 4th numerical value in duration with the AP numbers associated is defined as frequently associating the STA of the AP.
After the STA receives the beacon frame, the possibility that the STA roams to other AP improves.
Optionally, AP can will receive at the time of going association request of STA transmissions, be designated as the STA and go what is associated with the AP
Moment.It is similar, at the time of AP can be by the association request for receiving STA transmissions, at the time of recording the STA and associated with the AP.
When the frequent associated APs of STA, show the jitter of the STA, when the STA is frequently roamed between different AP
When, need the frequently synchronous data with the STA between these AP, therefore STA data are frequently carried out between AP in order to reduce
The value of beacon interval field is revised as the second beacon interval more than the first beacon interval by synchronous possibility, AP.
When the value of beacon interval field in beacon frame to be revised as to the second beacon interval more than the first beacon interval,
For STA after the beacon frame is received, the beacon frame information cycle that STA is determined is more than the actual transmission week that AP sends beacon frame
Phase, so that the quantity for the loss beacon frame that STA is determined is less than the quantity of the beacon frame of actual loss, and then STA is delayed
Roaming, reduce the possibility of STA roamings.
For example, Fig. 4 is referred to, the first beacon interval is 50ms, and the second beacon interval is 50ms, and AP sends beacon frame
At the time of marked in Fig. 4 (1) with arrow, referring still to Fig. 4 (1) at the time of AP that STA is determined sends beacon frame.Believe in AP
In the case that the value of mark interval field is revised as 100ms, with arrow in Fig. 4 (2) at the time of the AP that STA is determined sends beacon frame
Leader goes out, and is marked at the time of STA receives beacon frame in Fig. 4 (3) with arrow.That is, STA receives beacon frame in 0ms
Afterwards, when AP loses in 50ms, 100ms, 150ms beacon frame sent, STA 200ms receive beacon frame it
Afterwards, 100ms beacon LOF is determined.That is, the beacon LOF quantity that STA assert is less than the actual loss of beacon frame
Quantity.
Step 205, AP sends beacon frame according to the first beacon interval period.
It should be noted that AP, when it is the beacon frame of the STA to be individually for any STA transmission recipients address, AP will not
Stop sending the beacon frame of broadcast frame form.Before the STA goes to associate with the AP, the AP is according to the first beacon interval period
Send the beacon frame that recipient address is the STA.In addition, the beacon that the recipient address that the STA receives AP transmissions is the STA
After frame, the STA will not be handled recipient address for the beacon frame of broadcast address again.
In summary, beacon frame information method provided by the invention, AP according to the first beacon interval period by sending
Beacon frame, the value of beacon interval field in the beacon frame that AP is sent be the second beacon interval, wherein, the first beacon interval and the
Two beacon intervals are different, and the value of the second beacon interval is used for the cycle that beacon frame is sent to the STA instructions AP for receiving the beacon frame；
Because the reception condition in the STA beacon frame information cycles indicated generally according to beacon frame and beacon frame determines the loss of beacon frame
Situation, then it is not inconsistent with the beacon frame loss situation that the AP STA associated are determined and beacon frame actual loss situation, the STA overflows
Swim to other AP possibility and also change therewith, solve the problems, such as that AP can not intervene STA roaming behavior in correlation technique, reach
The effect for the roaming behavior for being associated with STA can be intervened by having arrived AP.
