Description
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of technologies, and in particular, to a method, a system, an apparatus, and a storage medium for optimizing wireless roaming.
Background
802.11r is a wireless roaming protocol intended to reduce the time required for authentication when an STA (wireless client) roams.
The following describes an 802.11 r-based wireless roaming procedure with reference to specific examples.
Assuming that the STA first accesses the AP1 and then moves to the direction of the AP2 to perform a roaming procedure of switching from the AP1 to the AP2, the roaming switching procedure of the STA from the AP1 to the AP2 is as shown in fig. 1, and includes the following steps:
S01-S04: the STA communicates with the AP1 to complete security authentication and association;
S05-S08: the STA and the AP1 complete key negotiation through a four-way handshake, and successfully access the AP 1.
S09-S11: the AP1 sends a node add notification (node add notification) to other APs in the lan, distributing a key (PMK-R1) with other APs (e.g., AP 2).
S12-S15: the STA detects that the signal strength between the STA and the AP1 is weakened to a switching threshold value in the process of moving towards the AP2, communicates with the AP2 to complete security authentication and re-association, and completes key negotiation by using a key distributed by the AP1 in the process, so as to successfully access the AP 2.
S16: the STA disassociates with the AP 1.
It can be seen that when the STA roams from the AP1 to the AP2, only the security authentication and association with the AP2 (and the key negotiation is implemented in the process) are required to successfully access the AP2, and no four-segment handshake needs to be separately performed for key negotiation, so that the access process consumes less time.
However, the above wireless roaming procedure is not suitable for a scenario where the APs are too close, for example, in a small family, a problem may occur that the wireless roaming of the STA cannot be triggered because the APs are close to each other. For example, assuming that the distance between the AP1 and the AP2 is short, when the STA moves from the AP1 to the AP2, the signal strength between the STA and the AP1 is not attenuated enough to reach the handoff threshold, and thus the wireless roaming of the STA cannot be triggered.

Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, 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 application.
In the embodiment of the present invention, for a wireless network with a short distance between APs (Access points), such as a wireless network of a small-dwelling house, to solve the problem that the wireless roaming of the STA cannot be triggered due to the short distance between APs in such a wireless network, a corresponding relationship between a signal strength attenuation and a transmission power reduction is obtained through summary of experimental data of an actual scene, and a down-regulation operation is performed on the transmission power of each AP by referring to the corresponding relationship, so that the wireless roaming of the STA between APs in a short distance can be triggered.
The method provided by the invention is specifically explained by combining the specific embodiment as follows:
referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a flowchart of a wireless roaming optimization method according to an embodiment of the present invention, where the method is applied to a wireless network, where the wireless network includes an AC and an AP that is hung from the AC and belongs to the same roaming group, and the method is specifically applied to the AC, and as shown in fig. 2, the method specifically includes the following steps:
In the embodiment of the present invention, when the AP satisfies the short-range wireless roaming condition, which means that when the STA moves from the AP to another AP in the roaming group, the wireless roaming may be triggered, so that the operations of determining the maximum transmission power allowed by the AP satisfying the short-range wireless roaming condition and corresponding to the AP in step 204, and adjusting the transmission power to be equal to or less than the maximum transmission power are not required.
As can be seen from the method shown in fig. 2, in this embodiment, when it is determined that the AP does not satisfy the short-range wireless roaming condition according to the signal strength included in the information of each surrounding AP scanned by each AP in the roaming group, the maximum transmission power allowed by the AP to satisfy the short-range wireless roaming condition is determined by referring to the correspondence between the pre-configured signal strength attenuation and the transmission power reduction, so as to adjust the transmission power of the AP to be equal to or less than the maximum transmission power, so that the signal strength between the AP and other APs in the roaming group is reduced to be able to satisfy the short-range wireless roaming condition, and therefore, the problem that the wireless roaming of the STA between the short-range APs cannot be triggered can be solved.
Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a flowchart of a wireless roaming optimization method according to a second embodiment of the present invention, where the method is applied to a wireless network, where the wireless network includes an AC and an AP that is hung from the AC and belongs to the same roaming group, and the method is specifically applied to the AC, and as shown in fig. 3, the method specifically includes the following steps:
The above step 301 is a detailed refinement of step 201 shown in fig. 2.
In this embodiment of the present invention, when it is determined that the roaming group does not satisfy the wireless roaming optimization triggering condition, the wireless roaming optimization operation is prohibited from being performed on each AP in the roaming group, that is, the wireless roaming optimization operations from step 302 to step 304 are not performed on the AP.
In the embodiment of the present invention, when the AP satisfies the short-range wireless roaming condition, which means that when the STA moves from the AP to another AP in the roaming group, the wireless roaming may be triggered, so that the operations of determining the maximum transmission power allowed by the AP satisfying the short-range wireless roaming condition and corresponding to the AP in step 304, and adjusting the transmission power to be equal to or less than the maximum transmission power are not required.
As can be seen from the method shown in fig. 3, compared with the embodiment shown in fig. 2, in this embodiment, in addition to solving the problem that the wireless roaming of the STA between the close-range APs cannot be triggered, the time for performing the wireless roaming optimization on the APs in the roaming group is controlled by the wireless roaming optimization triggering condition, so that frequent wireless roaming optimization operations on the roaming group can be avoided.
Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a flowchart of a wireless roaming optimization method provided by a third embodiment of the present invention, where the method is applied to a wireless network, where the wireless network includes an AC and an AP that is hung from the AC and belongs to the same roaming group, and the method is specifically applied to the AC, and as shown in fig. 4, the method specifically includes the following steps:
in the embodiment of the present invention, a function button may be added to the group configuration of the AC, for example, called "802.11 r optimization", and the user may trigger the roaming optimization triggering instruction by clicking the function button.
In this embodiment, when it is determined that the roaming group satisfies the wireless roaming optimization triggering condition, the wireless roaming optimization operation is prohibited from being performed on each AP in the roaming group, that is, the wireless roaming optimization operations from step 402 to step 404 are not performed on the AP.
The above steps 4011 to 4014 are a detailed refinement of step 301 shown in fig. 3.
In the embodiment of the present invention, when the AP satisfies the short-range wireless roaming condition, which means that when the STA moves from the AP to another AP in the roaming group, the wireless roaming may be triggered, so that the operations of determining the maximum transmission power allowed by the AP satisfying the short-range wireless roaming condition and corresponding to the AP in step 404, and adjusting the transmission power to be equal to or less than the maximum transmission power are not required.
As can be seen from the method shown in fig. 4, compared with the embodiment shown in fig. 3, in this embodiment, in addition to solving the problem that the wireless roaming of the STA between the close-range APs cannot be triggered, it is determined that the roaming group satisfies the wireless roaming optimization triggering condition by receiving the roaming optimization triggering instruction and determining whether the number of APs in the roaming group is greater than 1 after receiving the roaming optimization triggering instruction, so as to avoid performing unnecessary wireless roaming optimization operation on the roaming group.
Referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is a flowchart of a wireless roaming optimization method according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention, where the method is applied to a wireless network, where the wireless network includes an AC and an AP that is hung from the AC and belongs to the same roaming group, and the method is specifically applied to the AC, and as shown in fig. 5, the method specifically includes the following steps:
in this embodiment, the predetermined time period is a predetermined time value, which can be set empirically, for example, 6 seconds. By selecting one AP in the roaming group at intervals of a preset time period to perform wireless roaming optimization operation, the situation that a plurality of APs scan surrounding APs at the same time can be avoided, and therefore the success rate and the integrity of scanning are effectively increased.
step 504, when the AP does not satisfy the short-range wireless roaming condition, determining the maximum transmission power allowed by the AP to satisfy the short-range wireless roaming condition according to the signal strength included in each piece of surrounding AP information scanned by the AP and the correspondence between the pre-configured signal strength attenuation and the transmission power reduction, and notifying the maximum transmission power to the AP, so that the AP down-regulates the transmission power to be equal to or less than the maximum transmission power.
In the embodiment of the present invention, when the AP satisfies the short-range wireless roaming condition, which means that when the STA moves from the AP to another AP in the roaming group, the wireless roaming may be triggered, so that the operations of determining the maximum transmission power allowed by the AP satisfying the short-range wireless roaming condition and corresponding to the AP in step 504, and adjusting the transmission power to be equal to or less than the maximum transmission power are not required.
As can be seen from the method shown in fig. 5, in this embodiment, compared with the embodiment shown in fig. 2, in addition to solving the problem that the wireless roaming of the STA between the close-range APs cannot be triggered, the number of APs simultaneously performing scanning on the surrounding APs is controlled by selecting one unselected AP from the roaming group at intervals of a preset time period to perform wireless roaming optimization, so as to increase the success rate and integrity of the scanning.
Referring to fig. 6, fig. 6 is a flowchart of a wireless roaming optimization method provided by a fifth embodiment of the present invention, where the method is applied to a wireless network, where the wireless network includes an AC and an AP that is hung from the AC and belongs to the same roaming group, and the method is specifically applied to the AC, and as shown in fig. 6, the method specifically includes the following steps:
in this embodiment, since the configuration operation of adjusting the transmission power of the AP may be involved in the process of performing the wireless roaming optimization operation on the AP, if the user also configures the AP in other manners at this time, the two configurations may conflict with each other, and in order to avoid such a conflict problem, the AP does not respond to any other configuration instruction for the AP in the wireless roaming optimization process by setting the suspension configuration flag corresponding to the AP.
in the embodiment of the present invention, when the AP satisfies the short-range wireless roaming condition, which means that when the STA moves from the AP to another AP in the roaming group, the wireless roaming may be triggered, so that the operations of determining the maximum transmission power allowed by the AP satisfying the short-range wireless roaming condition and corresponding to the AP in step 604, and adjusting the transmission power to be equal to or less than the maximum transmission power are not required.
In this embodiment, before performing the wireless roaming optimization operation on each AP in the roaming group, the suspend configuration flag corresponding to the AP is set, so that the AP no longer responds to any configuration instruction for the AP, and after performing the wireless roaming optimization operation on each AP in the roaming group, an operation opposite to the operation needs to be performed, that is, the suspend configuration flag corresponding to the AP is deleted, so that the AP can respond to any other configuration instruction for the AP.
As can be seen from the method shown in fig. 6, compared with the embodiment shown in fig. 2, in this embodiment, in addition to solving the problem that the wireless roaming of the STA between the close-range APs cannot be triggered, the response of the AP to any other configuration instruction for the AP in the process of performing the wireless roaming optimization for the AP is controlled by setting and deleting the configuration suspension flag corresponding to the AP, so as to avoid the occurrence of configuration conflict.
Referring to fig. 7, fig. 7 is a flowchart of a wireless roaming optimization method according to a sixth embodiment of the present invention, where the method is applied to a wireless network, where the wireless network includes an AC and an AP that is hung from the AC and belongs to the same roaming group, and the method is specifically applied to the AC, and as shown in fig. 7, the method specifically includes the following steps:
In this embodiment, a new capwap protocol is added between the AC and the AP, and is used for the AC to issue a wireless roaming optimization instruction to the AP, and the AP to report surrounding AP information to the AC.
The above steps 7021 to 7022 are specific refinements of step 202 shown in fig. 2.
In the embodiment of the present invention, when the AP satisfies the short-range wireless roaming condition, which means that when the STA moves from the AP to another AP in the roaming group, the wireless roaming may be triggered, so that the operations of determining the maximum transmission power allowed by the AP satisfying the short-range wireless roaming condition and corresponding to the AP in step 704, and adjusting the transmission power to be equal to or less than the maximum transmission power are not required.
As can be seen from the method shown in fig. 7, in this embodiment, compared with the embodiment shown in fig. 2, in addition to solving the problem that the wireless roaming of the STA between the short-distance APs cannot be triggered, a new capwap protocol is newly defined, so that the wireless roaming optimized communication between the AC and the AP can be realized, and the control of the AC on the wireless roaming optimization of the AP is ensured.
Referring to fig. 8, fig. 8 is a flowchart of a wireless roaming optimization method according to a seventh embodiment of the present invention, where the method is applied to a wireless network, where the wireless network includes an AC and an AP that is hung from the AC and belongs to the same roaming group, and the method is specifically applied to the AC, and as shown in fig. 8, the method specifically includes the following steps:
in the embodiment of the invention, when the AP meets the short-distance wireless roaming condition, the wireless roaming can be triggered when the STA moves from the AP to other APs in the roaming group, so that the wireless roaming optimization operation of the AP can be directly finished.
The above steps 8031 to 8033 are specific refinements of step 203 shown in fig. 2.
As can be seen from the method shown in fig. 8, in this embodiment, compared with the embodiment shown in fig. 2, in addition to solving the problem that the wireless roaming of the STA between the close-range APs cannot be triggered, in the process of performing the wireless roaming optimization operation on the AP, it is determined whether the AP satisfies the close-range wireless roaming condition by using the signal strength in the information of each surrounding AP scanned by the AP, and the wireless roaming optimization process is continued only when the AP does not satisfy the close-range wireless roaming condition, and the wireless roaming optimization process is ended when the AP satisfies the close-range wireless roaming condition, so that the unnecessary wireless roaming optimization operation can be avoided.
Referring to fig. 9, fig. 9 is a flowchart of a wireless roaming optimization method according to an eighth embodiment of the present invention, where the method is applied to a wireless network, where the wireless network includes an AC and an AP that is hung from the AC and belongs to the same roaming group, and the method is specifically applied to the AC, and as shown in fig. 9, the method specifically includes the following steps:
in this embodiment, the preset roaming switching threshold may be determined in advance through a test, for example, a mainstream mobile phone supporting 802.11r may be selected to perform a wireless roaming test: configuring two APs (access points), such as APx and APy, in a wireless network and configuring the distance between the two APs, so that a mobile phone cannot roam when moving between the two APs; and then, the mobile phone is accessed to the APx firstly, then slowly moves towards the APy, the transmission power is gradually reduced on the APx through a command, when the mobile phone roams at the critical moment, the APx is scanned for one time by the command to obtain the signal intensity of the APy at the moment, and the signal intensity is used as the roaming threshold value of the mobile phone. And obtaining the roaming threshold value of each mobile phone by the same method, and taking the minimum roaming threshold value as a preset switching threshold value.
9043, determining a transmission power reduction amount corresponding to the signal strength difference value according to a preset corresponding relation between the signal strength attenuation amount and the transmission power reduction amount;
in this embodiment, the corresponding relationship may be determined through testing, for example, letting APx and APy be separated by a suitable distance (which may be slightly closer than that in normal roaming networking, mainly considering a case that two APs of a small-sized home are not separated by a long distance), first obtaining the signal strength of APy by scanning a surrounding AP list once by a command on APx, recording the transmission power value of APx at this time, then gradually reducing the transmission power of APx by a command, scanning a surrounding AP list once on APx every time the transmission power is reduced, and recording the signal strength of APy.
And 9044, calculating a power difference value between the transmission power of the AP and the transmission power reduction amount, and determining the power difference value as the maximum transmission power corresponding to the AP and required to meet the short-range wireless roaming condition.
The above steps 9041 to 9045 are a specific refinement of step 204 shown in fig. 2.
As can be seen from the method shown in fig. 9, in this embodiment, when it is determined that the AP does not satisfy the short-range wireless roaming condition according to the signal strength included in the information of each surrounding AP scanned by each AP in the roaming group, the maximum transmission power allowed by the AP to satisfy the short-range wireless roaming condition is determined by referring to the correspondence between the pre-configured signal strength attenuation and the transmission power reduction, so as to adjust the transmission power of the AP to be equal to or less than the maximum transmission power, so that the signal strength between the AP and other APs in the roaming group is reduced to be able to satisfy the short-range wireless roaming condition, and therefore, the problem that the wireless roaming of the STA between the short-range APs cannot be triggered can be solved.
The wireless roaming optimization method provided by the embodiment of the present invention is described in detail above, and the embodiment of the present invention also provides a wireless roaming optimization system, which is described in detail below with reference to fig. 10.
