Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
Please refer to fig. 1, which is a flowchart illustrating a wireless network expansion method according to an embodiment of the present invention.
The wireless network expansion method provided by the embodiment of the invention is executed by an intelligent terminal and comprises the following steps:
step S101, when receiving a pairing broadcast of a router, an intelligent terminal sends a pairing connection request to the router, so that the router establishes pairing connection with the intelligent terminal after receiving the pairing connection request;
step S102, the intelligent terminal reports the state information of the intelligent terminal to the router, so that the router judges whether the intelligent terminal meets a preset condition or not according to the state information, and when the intelligent terminal meets the preset condition, a Mesh node configuration instruction is sent to the intelligent terminal; the state information of the intelligent terminal comprises a product type, a flow requirement and an RSSI value of the router received by the intelligent terminal;
and S103, the intelligent terminal configures the Mesh node according to the Mesh node configuration instruction.
In the embodiment of the invention, the intelligent terminal and the router are used for establishing pairing connection, the intelligent terminal reports state information such as product type, flow requirement, RSSI value and the like to the router, so that the router evaluates according to the state information to determine whether the intelligent terminal can serve as a Mesh node, if so, the router sends a Mesh node configuration instruction to the intelligent terminal, so that the intelligent terminal configures the Mesh node according to the Mesh node configuration instruction, the intelligent terminal serves as the Mesh node, and the intelligent terminal and the router can form a Mesh network to provide wireless network access service for other equipment.
It should be noted that the intelligent terminal in the embodiment of the present invention refers to intelligent hardware capable of connecting to Wi-Fi, such as an air conditioner, a DC-powered network camera (IPC), a bulb, a floor cleaning robot, a wireless switch, and the like. At present, the capacity of many intelligent terminals is abundant but not fully utilized, and the embodiment of the invention fully utilizes the abundant wireless transmission capacity of the intelligent terminal, and solves the problem of high cost caused by purchasing additional wireless network equipment to perform network expansion by converting the capacity into the requirement of enhancing the coverage range required by a user. In the embodiment of the invention, the product type and the flow requirement of the intelligent terminal are reported to the router through the intelligent terminal, and the intelligent terminal receives the information such as the RSSI value of the router, so that the router evaluates according to the reported information, thereby determining whether the intelligent terminal can be used as a Mesh node. In addition, the router can control the flow of a link between the router and the intelligent terminal according to the product type and the flow requirement of the intelligent terminal, wherein the product type of the intelligent terminal refers to the product types of the intelligent terminal, such as an air conditioner, a DC power supply network camera (IPC), a bulb, a sweeping robot or a wireless switch. In addition, the intelligent terminal is configured with intelligent hardware of a wireless network extension SDK (software development kit), so that the intelligent terminal can conveniently communicate with the router, and wireless network coverage is realized.
In a specific application scenario, for example, in a home, the number of the intelligent terminal and the number of the routers may be multiple, respectively, when the intelligent terminal establishes a pairing connection with a certain router, a user may enable the router to enter a pairing mode by triggering a button (similar to a WPS button) on the router, and the intelligent terminal may be set to power on, that is, enter the pairing mode, or may manually trigger to enter the pairing mode by setting the button, so that the router and the intelligent terminal realize the pairing connection.
In an optional implementation manner, in step S102, "the intelligent terminal reports state information of the intelligent terminal to the router, so that the router determines whether the intelligent terminal meets a preset condition according to the state information, and sends a Mesh node configuration instruction to the intelligent terminal when the intelligent terminal meets the preset condition," specifically includes:
the intelligent terminal reports the state information of the intelligent terminal to the router, so that the router determines a theoretical throughput value according to an RSSI value in the state information, determines a traffic difference threshold value according to the theoretical throughput value, calculates a difference value between the theoretical throughput value and a traffic requirement in the state information, and sends a Mesh node configuration instruction to the intelligent terminal when the difference value between the theoretical throughput value and the traffic requirement in the state information is larger than or equal to the traffic difference threshold value.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the RSSI value Received by the intelligent terminal from the router is used to indicate that the intelligent terminal receives an RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indication) of the router after establishing a connection with the router, and the intelligent terminal can directly obtain the RSSI value. And the theoretical throughput value is used for representing the theoretical throughput of a link between the intelligent terminal and the router, and in the specific implementation, a mapping relation between the RSSI value and the theoretical throughput value can be preconfigured in the router, and the theoretical throughput value corresponding to the RSSI value in the state information is determined according to the preconfigured mapping relation between the RSSI value and the theoretical throughput value. The flow requirement of the intelligent terminal is subtracted from the theoretical throughput of the link between the intelligent terminal and the router, and a certain margin is reserved, so that the residual flow value can be used as a Mesh node. The flow rates required by different products are different, for example, the flow rate required by an intelligent switch is small, while the flow rate of a network camera (IPC) is relatively large, in order to adapt to different products, different margins can be left for different products as fault tolerance, in this embodiment, a flow rate difference threshold is determined by a router according to the theoretical throughput value, for example, the flow rate difference threshold can be determined based on a percentage of the theoretical throughput value, for example, the theoretical throughput value is a, the percentage is b, and the flow rate difference threshold is C, the flow rate difference threshold is C ═ b a, a specific value of the percentage b can be set according to an actual requirement, for example, the specific value can be 20% or 30% or other values, and the details are not described herein.
In an optional implementation manner, the step S103 "the intelligent terminal configures a Mesh node according to the Mesh node configuration instruction", specifically includes:
the intelligent terminal determines Mesh node configuration information according to the Mesh node configuration instruction;
and when the intelligent terminal meets the current flow demand, configuring the Mesh node according to the Mesh node configuration information.
Preferably, the intelligent terminal is configured as a Mesh node having the same name and password as those of the wireless network of the router, so that a user can use the Mesh node, for example, the user can walk indoors in different areas with a mobile phone, and wireless roaming can be achieved without changing the name and password of the wireless network. In specific application, the intelligent terminal can preferentially ensure the flow forwarding requirement of the intelligent terminal and simultaneously serve as a Mesh node to provide network access service for other equipment so as to avoid influencing the service flow of the intelligent terminal, for example, the service function of a network camera is a multimedia transmission function, and the intelligent terminal can ensure the current flow requirement of the intelligent terminal and simultaneously serve as the Mesh node so as to avoid influencing the multimedia transmission function.
