The wireless mesh can greatly increase the coverage area of a wireless system, and can improve the bandwidth capacity and the communication reliability of the wireless system.
A wireless Mesh network is a completely different network from a conventional wireless network. A traditional Wireless Access technology mainly adopts a Point-to-Point or Point-to-multipoint topology structure, and such a structure generally has a central node, such as an Access Point (AP) in an 802.11 Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN). The central node is connected with each wireless terminal through a single-hop wireless link to control the access of each wireless terminal to the wireless network; meanwhile, the system is connected with a wired backbone network through a wired link to provide connection to a backbone network. In the wireless Mesh network, a Mesh topological structure is adopted, and the Mesh network is a multipoint-to-multipoint network topological structure. In such a Mesh network structure, each network node is connected in a wireless multi-hop manner through other adjacent network nodes.

Therefore, how to optimize the process of establishing the connection by the Mesh AP becomes a problem to be solved urgently by those skilled in the art.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Example 1
Referring to fig. 1 to 4, embodiment 1 of the present invention provides a method for an AP to join a Mesh network, where the method includes the following steps:

and S4, the AP to be added is accessed into the Mesh network according to the self-defined Beacon frame, and the self-defined Beacon frame synchronization Mesh network configuration information is analyzed.
In the embodiment of the invention, firstly, user equipment is connected with a home gateway, specifically, the user equipment is accessed to a Mesh network, namely, the home gateway can be accessed to bind, wherein, after the user equipment is accessed to the Mesh network, the home gateway synchronizes an SSID to the Mesh network;
further, the user equipment issues a pairing instruction to the home gateway;
then, the home gateway responds to the pairing instruction, controls all APs in the Mesh network to set and broadcast a custom Beacon frame in a preset period, wherein the custom Beacon frame comprises Mesh network configuration information;
and finally, the AP to be added receives the self-defined Beacon frame, accesses the Mesh network according to the self-defined Beacon frame, and analyzes the self-defined Beacon frame synchronous Mesh network configuration information.
The custom Beacon frame is broadcast in a preset period, and the preset period can be specifically 2 minutes, namely broadcast in 2 minutes.
It should be noted that the user equipment obtains the relevant information of the home gateway, such as SSID, mac address and encryption mode, so as to establish a connection with the home gateway.
According to the embodiment of the invention, after the user equipment is connected with the home gateway, the user-defined Beacon frame is broadcasted by using all APs in the Mesh network, so that the Mesh network configuration information is broadcasted, the AP to be added can carry out network access configuration work without distance limitation, the network access configuration process is reduced, and the user experience is improved.
When a station STA (such as a mobile phone or a notebook) accesses a Mesh network (the whole gateway may only have one routing root node), then an app, a web or other configuration modes are controlled, a "start Mesh networking" is clicked, then all devices in the whole Mesh network open a hidden Mesh SSID, and a Beacon frame is self-defined.
It should be noted that the custom Beacon frame includes the Mesh network configuration information, the networking password, and the MAC address of the central control AP of the Mesh network.
In another embodiment of the present invention, when all APs in the Mesh network broadcast the custom Beacon frame, the method specifically includes the following steps:

and because the SSID of the Mesh network is in an open state, the AP to be added can receive the self-defined Beacon frame, so that the AP is accessed into the Mesh network according to the self-defined Beacon frame and analyzes the self-defined Beacon frame synchronous Mesh network configuration information.
In another embodiment of the present invention, an AP to be added accesses a Mesh network according to a custom Beacon frame, and analyzes the custom Beacon frame synchronization Mesh network configuration information, that is, step S4 includes the following steps:

s411, after the comparison is passed, an access permission instruction is issued to the AP to be added.
It should be noted that, if the Mesh network does not have an AP in the current Mesh network, only an open networking needs to be configured through the web or the app, the Mesh SSID is set in a visible state (non-hidden state), and the newly-accessed AP performs Mesh networking configuration synchronization according to the received preset networking configuration information to establish the first AP of the Mesh network.
The user equipment discovers the surrounding wireless network by monitoring the Beacon frame periodically sent by the AP, and the AP equipment providing wireless network service can periodically send the Beacon frame, so that the wireless client can periodically monitor the Beacon frame in the supported channel list to acquire the surrounding wireless network information.
It should be noted that the interaction and verification between the AP to be added and the home gateway between the custom Beacon frame and the custom Probe frame are specifically as follows:
a1, analyzing a user-defined Beacon frame by the AP to be added which receives the user-defined Beacon frame, and acquiring the configuration information of the Mesh network, the networking password and the MAC address of the central control AP of the Mesh network;
a2, feeding back a self-defined Probe frame to the home gateway by the AP to be added, wherein the self-defined Probe frame at least comprises one of the Mesh network configuration information, the networking password and the MAC address of the central control AP of the Mesh network;
a3, the home gateway receives and analyzes a self-defined Probe frame, obtains the Mesh network configuration information, the networking password or the MAC address of the central control AP of the Mesh network, compares the Mesh network configuration information, the networking password or the MAC address of the central control AP of the Mesh network with the self-defined Mesh network configuration information, the networking password or the MAC address of the central control AP of the Mesh network, and allows the access of the AP to be added after the Mesh network configuration information, the networking password or the MAC address of the central control AP of the Mesh network are compared.

a5, the AP to be added receives and analyzes a feedback type self-defined Beacon frame to obtain the configuration information of the Mesh network, the networking password or the MAC address of the central control AP of the Mesh network, and compares the configuration information of the Mesh network, the networking password or the MAC address of the central control AP of the Mesh network with the self configuration information of the Mesh network, and after the configuration information of the Mesh network, the networking password or the MAC address of the central control AP of the Mesh network are compared, the home gateway allows the AP to be added to access;
if necessary, the steps a 2-a 5 can be repeated to perform comparison for multiple times, and how to select the comparison can be adjusted according to actual requirements, so that the comparison accuracy can be improved to a certain extent by the steps a4 and a 5.
It should be noted that, in actual operation, a Vendor Specific element field may be added to both the custom Beacon frame and the custom Probe frame: the format of the 802.11 protocol for this field is shown in the following figure:
the OUI field is 3 bytes, the driver configures a special OUI, and when the chip detects the special OUI, the message is analyzed. Such as: 0x46484D (FHM), each manufacturer is self-defined; content is 255 bytes maximum, and OUI and Content are configured by the driver.
