Detailed Description

For the purposes of making the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more apparent, embodiments of the present application will be described in detail hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, in the case of no conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments may be arbitrarily combined with each other.

In an application scenario of multi-AP device networking, if an operator server needs to manage multiple AP devices, the operator server typically needs to connect to each AP device through a complex internet transmission protocol to obtain relevant information of each AP device. Since the AP device is generally applied to a home network, an operator server also needs to open a network connection between an intranet (e.g., a home network) and an extranet (e.g., an external network provided by the operator server, etc.) through a service such as a network address translation (Network Address Translation, NAT) session traversal application (Session Traversal Utilities for NAT, STUN) protocol, etc., which is cumbersome to operate and easily causes information transmission errors in a communication link.

In addition, different AP devices have different service capabilities, for example, some AP devices only support a transmission frequency band of 2.5GHz, some AP devices can support multiple transmission frequency bands, and other AP devices do not support a common Wi-Fi. If the plurality of APs are managed in an indiscriminate manner, the AP devices are liable to receive useless configuration information, which increases the burden of network links and is liable to cause abnormality of the AP devices.

Fig. 1 is a flow chart illustrating a method for establishing a transmission channel according to an embodiment of the present application. The method for establishing the transmission channel can be applied to the control equipment.

As shown in fig. 1, the method for establishing a transmission channel in the embodiment of the present application includes, but is not limited to, the following steps.

In step S101, attribute information of a plurality of access points AP is acquired.

The attribute information of each AP is used for representing the corresponding characteristic information of the AP.

Because the attribute information of each AP is different and the corresponding service capacities which can be supported by each AP are different, the service capacities which can be supported by each AP can be clarified by acquiring the attribute information of a plurality of APs, so that the corresponding management of the plurality of APs is convenient, and the utilization efficiency of the APs is improved.

Step S102, selecting and obtaining the AP to be controlled from the plurality of APs according to the preset application scene and the attribute information of the plurality of APs.

The preset application scene is a preset application scene.

For example, the preset application scenario may be an application scenario in which the user terminal is surfing the internet at home, or may be that the user terminal expects to access to a nearest public network corresponding to the location of the user terminal in a mall. The above description is merely exemplary for the preset application scenario, and the specific setting can be performed according to the actual needs, and other non-described preset application scenarios are also within the protection scope of the present application, which is not described herein again.

The to-be-controlled AP is an AP which the user terminal desires to access, so that the user terminal can be connected to the Internet through the to-be-controlled AP to acquire data resources which the user terminal desires to acquire. Through the combination of the preset application scene and the attribute information of the plurality of APs, specific APs can be clearly and specifically applied to the preset application scene, and further the APs to be controlled are obtained through screening from the plurality of APs, namely the APs to be controlled can be applied to the preset application scene, aiming at the preset application scene, the APs to be controlled can enable the user terminal to be accessed to the Internet more quickly and accurately, and the efficiency of the user terminal for obtaining data resources is improved.

Step S103, configuring the AP to be controlled according to a preset control rule, and generating configuration information.

The preset control rule is a preset configuration rule for the AP to be controlled in a preset application scene.

The AP to be controlled is configured through the preset control rule, so that the capability of the AP to be controlled can be exerted more accurately, the generated configuration information can be accurately adapted to the use of the AP to be controlled in a preset application scene, the supporting capability of the AP to be controlled for the requirement of the user terminal is improved, and the user terminal can be quickly and accurately accessed into the Internet through the AP to be controlled.

Step S104, a transmission channel is established with the AP to be controlled according to the configuration information.

The control device sends the configuration information to the AP to be controlled so that the AP to be controlled can know the use requirement of the control device, and a transmission channel is established between the AP to be controlled and the control device based on the configuration information, so that the information interaction efficiency between the two devices is improved.

It should be noted that, before a transmission channel is not established between the control device and the AP to be controlled, the control device and the AP to be controlled may communicate through a broadcast manner, but this broadcast communication manner easily causes the AP to be controlled to receive useless information, so that the AP to be controlled needs to process the useless information, and the information processing efficiency is reduced. After a transmission channel is established between the control equipment and the AP to be controlled, the transmission channel can enable the AP to be controlled to accurately obtain the information sent by the control equipment, reduce the probability that the AP to be controlled receives the useless information, reduce the burden of a network link and ensure that the AP to be controlled can normally and orderly work.

In this embodiment, attribute information of a plurality of APs is clarified by acquiring attribute information of a plurality of APs; according to the preset application scene and the attribute information of the plurality of APs, the APs to be controlled are obtained through screening from the plurality of APs, the APs to be controlled are conveniently controlled, and the APs to be controlled corresponding to the preset application scene are obtained; configuring the AP to be controlled according to a preset control rule, generating configuration information, and enabling the AP to be controlled to obtain control information matched with the capacity of the AP to be controlled so as to realize accurate management of the AP; according to the configuration information, a transmission channel is established with the AP to be controlled, the AP to be controlled can accurately obtain the information sent by the current equipment through the transmission channel, the probability that the AP to be controlled receives the useless information is reduced, the burden of a network link is reduced, and the AP to be controlled can normally and orderly work.

In some implementations, the attribute information includes: the service type, the service capability information, the type of a backhaul link corresponding to the AP, and the signal strength information of the AP.

The service type is used for representing coverage applicable to the AP, and the service capability information is used for representing information of supporting different service capabilities by the AP.

For example, the service type may include a public network or a private network, where the public network coverage is greater than the private network coverage. The control device may screen and obtain an AP to be controlled from multiple APs according to the service type, so that the AP to be controlled can use and preset an application scenario. For example, if the preset application scenario is that the user terminal is surfing the internet at home, the control device may screen and obtain an AP capable of supporting the private network (for example, wi-Fi corresponding to a user of the user terminal, etc.) from multiple APs. If the preset application scenario is that the user terminal is in a certain business area or office, the control device may screen and obtain an AP capable of supporting a public network (for example, public Wi-Fi corresponding to a company, or a mobile hotspot network provided by an operator server, etc.) from multiple APs.

For another example, the type of the backhaul link corresponding to the AP may include a wireless link or a wired link, and the AP to be controlled in the same connection manner as the ue is selected according to the requirement of the ue, so that the type of the backhaul link corresponding to the AP to be controlled can support the use requirement of the ue, and the use experience of the ue is improved.

For another example, the control device may further screen and obtain, according to the obtained signal intensity information of the plurality of APs, the AP closest to the user terminal and having the strongest signal intensity as the AP to be controlled, so that when the user terminal may access to the communication network through the AP to be controlled, better communication quality may be obtained, and communication efficiency between the user terminal and the internet may be improved.

The multiple APs are screened through the service types, so that the APs to be controlled obtained through screening can be more suitable for different preset application scenes, the APs to be controlled can provide network connection services for the user terminal faster and better, and the use experience of the user terminal is improved.

In some implementations, the attribute information includes business capability information, which may include: at least one of supported frequency band information, modulation scheme information, transmission rate and data throughput.

For example, the control device may screen the AP to be controlled that obtains the specific frequency band requirement according to the frequency band information that can be supported by different APs, so that the AP to be controlled may provide communication services for the user terminal for a certain frequency band (for example, 2.5GHz or 5 GHz).

For another example, if the ue expects to obtain a higher transmission rate in the first preset application scenario (e.g., the playing scenario of the online video file), the control device may screen, from the multiple APs, the AP that supports the 256-QAM (quadrature amplitude modulation (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation, QAM)) or the 512-QAM adjustment as the AP to be controlled, so that the ue may obtain the higher transmission rate through the AP to be controlled, thereby improving the playing flow of the online video file.

For another example, if the ue expects to obtain a large data throughput in a second preset application scenario (for example, an application scenario of uploading or downloading a large data file (for example, the data size is 10GB, etc.), the control device may screen and obtain an AP supporting the 1024-QAM adjustment manner from multiple APs as an AP to be controlled, so that the ue completes uploading or downloading the large data file through the AP to be controlled, thereby improving transmission efficiency of the large data file.

It should be noted that, the application of the service capability information of the AP is merely illustrated, and multiple service capability information of different dimensions may be combined and judged according to an actual usage scenario, and/or attribute information of different dimensions may be combined, so that the AP to be controlled obtained by screening is more suitable for different application scenarios, and screening accuracy of the AP to be controlled is improved.

Fig. 2 is a flow chart illustrating a method for establishing a transmission channel according to another embodiment of the present application. The method for establishing the transmission channel can be applied to the control equipment. The difference between this embodiment and the previous embodiment is that: the attribute information comprises service type and business capability information, and through combination of the service type and the business capability information, the AP obtained through screening can be more close to the requirement of a preset application scene, and the screening accuracy of a plurality of APs is improved.

Wherein the configuration information includes: at least one of configuration type, data length, service configuration information and service data information; the service configuration information includes: at least one of a number of services, a type of service, and a length of transmission data.

The configuration condition of the control equipment to the AP to be controlled by using the preset control rules can be embodied through the configuration information of the multiple dimensions, the use requirement of the control equipment to the AP to be controlled is definitely controlled, the AP to be controlled can be more suitable for the use scene of the user terminal, the user terminal can be more quickly and accurately accessed into the communication network through the AP to be controlled, and the data interaction efficiency of the user terminal and the network side equipment is improved.

Step S205, a transmission channel is established with the AP to be controlled according to the configuration information.

It should be noted that, step S205 in the present embodiment is the same as step S104 in the previous embodiment, and will not be described herein.

In this embodiment, attribute information of a plurality of APs is clarified by acquiring attribute information of a plurality of APs; the method comprises the steps of carrying out primary screening on a plurality of APs according to a preset application scene and a service type to obtain a plurality of first APs, reducing screening range and improving screening accuracy of the plurality of APs; screening the plurality of first APs again according to the service capability information to obtain APs to be controlled so that the APs to be controlled can be matched with a preset application scene; configuring the AP to be controlled according to a preset control rule, generating configuration information, and enabling the AP to be controlled to obtain control information matched with the capacity of the AP to be controlled so as to realize accurate management of the AP; according to the configuration information, a transmission channel is established with the AP to be controlled, the AP to be controlled can accurately obtain the information sent by the current equipment through the transmission channel, the probability that the AP to be controlled receives the useless information is reduced, the burden of a network link is reduced, and the AP to be controlled can normally and orderly work.

The embodiment of the application provides another possible implementation manner, wherein the attribute information comprises the type of the backhaul link corresponding to the AP and the signal strength information of the AP. In step S102, according to a preset application scenario and attribute information of a plurality of APs, an AP to be controlled is obtained by screening from the plurality of APs, including:

screening a plurality of APs according to a preset application scene and the type of a return link corresponding to the APs to obtain a plurality of second APs; and screening the plurality of APs again according to the signal intensity information of the APs to determine the APs to be controlled.

The type of the backhaul link corresponding to the second AP is a wireless link. The signal strength information may include: the signal intensities of the multiple APs received by the control device, or the signal intensities of the multiple APs obtained by the report message sent by the multiple APs, etc.

For example, in the case that it is determined that the preset application scenario needs to configure the relevant network parameters for the AP, a preset control rule may be generated according to the relevant network parameters, so that the preset control rule can meet the requirement of the preset application scenario. Under the condition that the configuration request sent by the AP to be controlled is received, wherein the configuration request comprises configuration parameters needed by the AP to be controlled, the control equipment can generate a preset control rule according to the configuration parameters so as to meet the configuration requirements of the AP to be controlled.

Fig. 4 is a schematic block diagram illustrating the construction of a transmission channel establishment system according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 4, the system for establishing a transmission channel includes the following devices:

an internet device 410, a control device 420, and a plurality of access point devices (e.g., a first access point device 431, a second access point device 432, and a third access point device 433).

Wherein the control device 420 includes: an ethernet interface M421, a first wireless interface 422, and a second wireless interface 423;

the first access point device 431 includes: ethernet interface N4311, wireless interface a 4312, and wireless interface B4313; the second access point device 432 includes: ethernet interface P4321, wireless interface C4322, and wireless interface D4323; the third access point device 433 includes: ethernet interface Q4331, wireless interface E4332, and wireless interface F4333.

It should be noted that, the control device 420 may be a specific control device, which is only used to control multiple access point devices; but may also be a device of the same type as the access point device, but may perform control functions. (e.g., control device 420 may also be implemented using an AP). The above types of the control device 420 are only examples, and may be specifically set according to actual needs, and other types of the control device 420 that are not described are also within the protection scope of the present application, which is not described herein.

In some embodiments, each device in the system for establishing the transmission channel may be managed through different media (for example, an internet web page, network management software, and a cloud platform operating system), so as to facilitate real-time monitoring and management of each device.

The control device 420 is a logic control unit in the transmission channel establishment system, and is configured to control a front-end network and a back-end link in the multi-AP networking; synchronizing the wireless configuration information to each access point device; collecting information of each AP in a system and capability data of a wireless client connected with the AP; control roaming policy of STA, etc. There is one and only one control device 420 in the system for setting up one transmission channel.

The access point device is a logic entity in the system for establishing a transmission channel, and is configured to receive the multiple AP instruction sent by the control device 420, and complete a corresponding operation. For example, a configuration synchronization instruction or the like sent by the control device 420. One or more access point devices may be present in a transmission channel set-up system.

The type of transmission channel between the APs is the same as the type of transmission channel between the control device 420 and the AP; the transmission channel is a channel established based on a preset transmission protocol. For example, the transmission channel between the respective APs is a transmission channel established based on the IEEE802.3 protocol, or the IEEE 802.11 protocol, and the transmission channel between the control device 420 and the APs is also a transmission channel established based on the IEEE802.3 or IEEE 802.11.

For example, when communication between different devices is performed, the IEEE1905 protocol and/or a Multi-hop access point (Multi-AP) protocol may be used to perform communication, so that the entire system may synchronize configuration information, topology connection relationship, and roaming status corresponding to each different device.

Fig. 5 shows a flow chart of a working method of the transmission channel establishment system provided in the embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 5, the working method of the system for establishing a transmission channel includes, but is not limited to, the following steps:

in step S501, the control device 420 obtains attribute information corresponding to a plurality of access point devices through a preset communication protocol.

The preset communication protocol may include: IEEE1905 protocol and/or Multi-AP protocol.

For example, the identification (e.g., AP1, AP2, etc.) of each access point device and the attribute information of each access point device may be extracted from the network topology information and/or the backhaul link information by acquiring the network topology information and the backhaul link information in the set-up system of the transmission channel. Wherein, the attribute information of the access point device may include: the service type, the service capability information, the type of a backhaul link corresponding to the AP, and the signal strength information of the AP.

The service type is used to characterize coverage (e.g., public network (public Wi-Fi) or private network, etc.) that the AP is adapted to, and the service capability information is used to characterize information that the AP supports different service capabilities (e.g., the AP may support Wi-Fi5, wi-Fi6, 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, 5GHz Wi-Fi, etc.).

In step S502, the control device 420 screens out the plurality of APs to obtain the first access point device 431 according to the preset application scenario and the attribute information of the plurality of APs.

The preset application scenario is a preset application scenario, for example, in a scenario where multiple APs interact, one AP needs to be set as a control device, and the control device is used to control other APs, where all APs except the AP serving as the control device may be the AP to be controlled (for example, the first access point device 431). And each AP to be controlled needs to be connected with the AP serving as the control device, so that the AP serving as the control device can communicate with the upper network device, the upper network device can acquire network connection information among a plurality of APs, and the plurality of APs can be managed conveniently.

In some embodiments, the control device 420 may perform primary screening on the multiple APs according to a preset application scenario and service type to obtain multiple first APs; then, the plurality of first APs are screened again according to the service capability information, and an AP to be controlled (i.e., the first access point device 431) is obtained.

For example, the first filtering may be performed on the searched surrounding Wi-Fi according to a preset application scenario (for example, an application scenario when the mobile terminal user performs a data download service in a certain building) and a service type (for example, a public network or a private network) that the mobile terminal user needs to use, so as to obtain a plurality of first APs, where the first APs are Wi-Fi supporting the private network; then, the plurality of first APs are screened again according to the service capability information (for example, the terminal used by the mobile terminal user is a terminal capable of supporting the 5G band), so as to obtain the first access point device 431 capable of supporting the 5G band as the AP to be controlled. The method and the device can screen and obtain the appropriate AP to be controlled according to different application scenes, so that the terminal can accurately and rapidly obtain the AP to which the terminal can be connected, and the communication service quality of the terminal is improved.
