Description

自动切换接入点的方法和无线路由设备 技术领域
本发明实施例涉及通信技术,尤其涉及一种自动切换接入点的方法和无线路由设备。
背景技术
无线局域网(Wireless Local Area Network,简称WLAN)是以无线介质进行通信的网络,其是计算机网络与通信技术相结合的产物,无线局域网通常包括接入点(Access Point,简称AP)和站点(Station,简称STA)等设备,其中,STA也可以称为终端或接入设备。
接入点可以连接无线网络,也可以连接有线网络,接入点也可称之为热点。其中,将应用于家庭中的无线局域网覆盖的热点称之为家庭热点,家庭热点(包括带WiFi AP功能的用户端设备)一般通过以太网方式上行,作为互连网络入口固定在家庭内,因此其无法随身携带。然而另一种移动热点,其主要应用于室外无线局域网覆盖,例如移动WiFi(Mobile WiFi),移动热点可随身携带,通过第四代移动通信技术(the 4th Generation mobile communication technology,简称4G)/第三代移动通信技术(3rd-Generation,简称3G)/第二代移动通信技术(2-Generation wireless telephone technology,简称2G)可以进行高速数据业务。
越来越多的用户的终端可以通过以上两种接入点接入互联网,实现网页浏览、数据传输或语音通话等业务。通常情况下,如果终端位于家庭中的无线局域网覆盖范围外则可以通过移动热点接入互联网,而当终端位于家庭中的无线局域网覆盖范围内则可以通过家庭热点接入互联网。然而在终端设备从家庭中的无线局域网覆盖范围外进入到家庭中的无线局域网覆盖范围内时,终端仍然连接在家庭中的无线局域网覆盖范围外的移动热点上,无法自动切换到家庭热点上,只能靠用户手动关闭移动热点以接入家庭热点,或者在终端上手动扫描其他热点,而后断开移动热点,连接家庭热点以完成切换。由此可以看出,上述技术中在家庭中的无线局域网覆 盖范围外内,终端无法自动完成切换。

附图说明
为了更清楚地说明本发明实施例或现有技术中的技术方案,下面将对实施例或现有技术描述中所需要使用的附图作一简单地介绍,显而易见地,下面描述中的附图是本发明的一些实施例,对于本领域普通技术人员来讲,在不付出创造性劳动性的前提下,还可以根据这些附图获得其他的附图。

图2为本发明自动切换接入点的方法实施例二的流程图;
图3为本发明无线路由设备实施例一的结构示意图;
图4为本发明无线路由设备实施例二的结构示意图。
具体实施方式
为使本发明实施例的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚,下面将结合本发明实施例中的附图,对本发明实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述,显然,所描述的实施例是本发明一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本发明中的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在没有作出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本发明保护的范围。
本发明实施例将接入点分为固定接入点和移动接入点,固定接入点具体指固定在室内作为网络接入口,供终端接入网络,其通常可以是用于固定用户群所使用的终端进行网络接入,其具体可以是用于家庭无线局域网覆盖的家庭热点、或者用于公司无线局域网覆盖的热点等等,而移动接入 点具体指可随身携带、通过4G\3G\2G进行高速数据业务的接入点,用户所使用的终端通过移动接入点在没有固定接入点覆盖的区域也可以接入网络,例如,无线路由设备,其具体可以是移动wifi等等。
图1为本发明自动切换接入点的方法实施例一的流程图,本实施中的无线路由设备具体指移动接入点,接入点设备具体指固定接入点,本实施例的执行主体为无线路由设备,本实施例的实施场景为无线路由设备与终端建立网络连接,如图1所示,本实施例的方法可以包括:
步骤101、无线路由设备判断在所述无线路由设备的无线连接范围内是否存在允许接入的接入点设备。
其中,所述无线路由设备的无线连接范围即指所述无线路由设备的有效工作距离,也可以理解为所述无线路由设备的信号覆盖范围,在该无线路由设备的无线连接范围内,该无线路由设备可以发现其他接入点设备,或者可以供终端发现并建立网络连接。
步骤102、若存在所述接入点设备,则所述无线路由设备向所述接入点设备发送无线连接请求消息,与所述接入点设备建立网络连接。
具体的,所述接入点设备接收到所述无线路由设备发送的无线连接请求消息,根据所述无线连接请求消息向所述无线路由设备返回无线连接响应消息,从而实现所述无线路由设备与所述接入点设备建立连接。
步骤103、所述无线路由设备断开与所述终端的网络连接,以触发所述终端连接至所述接入点设备,使所述终端通过所述接入点设备接入互联网。
具体的,在步骤102无线路由设备和接入点设备建立连接后,该无线路由设备断开与终端的连接,该终端的个数可以是一个或多个,由于终端具有自动扫描和重连功能,与无线路由设备失去连接的终端便会自动进行扫描其他接入点设备,当扫描到之前连接过的接入点设备时,终端便会重连至该接入点设备,通过该接入点设备接入网络,实现互联网访问。举例而言,用户的一手机作为终端,家庭热点作为接入点设备,移动热点作为无线路由设备,该用户的该手机通常在家中时,会使用家庭热点接入网络,而在该家庭热点覆盖范围外,该用户的该手机通常使用移动热点接入网络,利用本实施例的方法,移动热点通过扫描到允许接入的该家庭热点时, 便与该家庭热点建立连接,并在建立连接成功后,断开与该手机的连接,使得该手机重连至该家庭热点,从而实现自动切换接入点。
可选的,所述无线路由设备判断在所述无线路由设备的无线连接范围内是否存在允许接入的接入点设备,具体可以为,所述无线路由设备工作在接入点AP功能和站点STA功能模式下,通过所述STA对接入点设备进行周期性扫描,获取扫描到的接入点设备的服务集标识,将所述接入点设备的服务集标识与自身存储的接入点设备的服务集标识集进行比对,判断所述接入点设备是否为允许接入的接入点设备;若所述接入点设备的服务集标识存在于所述接入点设备存储的服务集标识集中,则所述接入点设备为允许接入的接入点设备。其中,所述接入点设备存储的服务集标识集包括至少一个接入点设备的服务集标识。
其中,该无线路由设备在该接入点AP功能和站点STA功能模式下时,具有AP功能和STA功能,其中,AP功能具体指可以供终端扫描、连接和管理其下挂的终端,STA功能具体指可以扫描和连接其他接入点设备,即在该AP功能和STA功能模式下,该无线路由设备可以供终端扫描、连接,还可以管理其下挂的终端,还可以扫描和连接其他接入点设备。
具体的,该无线路由设备可以对该无线路由设备周围的接入点设备进行周期性扫描,该周期可以根据需求进行灵活设置,在该无线路由设备扫描到接入点设备后,该无线路由设备获取该接入点设备的服务集标识,将该接入点设备的服务集标识与自身存储的接入点设备服务集标识集进行比对,判断该接入点设备是否为允许接入的接入点设备。当该接入点设备为允许接入的接入点设备时,执行步骤102至步骤103,当该接入点设备不是允许接入的接入点设备时,该无线路由设备继续进行周期性扫描,并保持与终端的连接。
可选的,所述若存在所述接入点设备,则所述无线路由设备向所述接入点设备发送无线连接请求消息,与所述接入点设备建立网络连接之前,所述无线路由设备还可以向所述接入点设备发送动态主机配置协议DHCP发现消息,所述DHCP发现消息携带有第一DHCP选项字段;所述无线路由设备接收所述接入点设备返回的DHCP提议消息,所述DHCP提议消息携带有第二DHCP选项字段;所述无线路由设备将所述第一DHCP选项字段与所 述第二DHCP选项字段进行比较,若所述第一DHCP选项字段与所述第二DHCP选项字段一致,则与所述接入点设备建立连接。利用这种方式进行二次辅助识别,即首先在步骤101中判断所述接入点设备是否为允许接入的接入点设备,如果是,在所述无线路由设备与所述接入点设备建立连接之前,还可以进行上述第二次辅助识别过程,利用对扫描到的接入点设备进行二次识别可以实现安全接入。
进一步的,步骤103中所述无线路由设备断开与终端的网络连接的具体实现方式可以为所述无线路由设备向终端发送去关联(de-associate)消息,并隐藏自身的服务集标识(Service Set Identifier,简称SSID),从而实现对终端的接入控制。当然可以理解的,也可以采用其他方式实现步骤103中的所述无线路由设备断开与终端的连接,例如,所述无线路由设备停止与终端进行无线通信交互,即所述无线路由设备关闭自身AP功能,即停止供终端扫描、连接和管理其下挂的终端。
进一步的,无线路由设备断开与终端的网络连接后,该无线路由设备断开与无线广域网的连接,即具体可以断开与3GPP或3GPP2无线广域网的连接,从而可以有效降低第一接入点的功耗,以延长其工作时间。需要说明的是本实施例所述的无线广域网与本实施中的互联网不同,其具体指由4G/3G/2G等移动通信技术提供的无线网络,利用该无线广域网进行互联网访问的第一接入点,需要将数据通过基站再通过核心网最终到达互联网进行访问。本实施的接入点设备可以直接通过交换设备与互联网连接。利用互联网可以为接入设备提供通讯、资源共享等服务,例如为终端提供视频或音频数据资源。
进一步的,所述无线路由设备断开与所述终端的网络连接之后,所述无线路由设备由接入点AP功能和站点STA功能模式切换为站点STA功能模式;在所述站点STA功能模式下,所述无线路由设备对所述接入点设备进行持续监测。即在无线路由设备断开与终端的连接之后,其进入STA功能模式。
进一步的,当无线路由设备工作于STA功能模式时,该无线路由设备会对其与接入点设备的连接状态进行监测,若该无线路由设备监测到自身与该接入点设备断开连接,则该无线路由设备重新工作于接入点AP功能 和站点STA功能模式,重新建立与所述终端的网络连接,即在接入点设备不能正常工作、或者接入点设备达到接入上限从而剔除该无线路由设备、或者接入点设备负载受限从而剔除该无线路由设备、或者该无线路由设备与接入点设备之间的数据链路长时间不通、或者无线路由设备远离到接入点设备无法覆盖的区域,上述任一情况都会导致无线路由设备与接入点设备连接断开,该无线路由设备监测到连接断开后便重新工作于接入点AP功能和站点STA功能模式,工作于接入点AP功能和站点STA功能下的该无线路由设备又可以被终端自动搜索到并与其建立连接,使得终端仍然可以接入网络。
需要说明的是,上述步骤103中无线路由设备断开与终端的网络连接,以使终端连接至接入点设备,这里的终端连接至接入点设备并非首次连接至接入点设备,即终端自身存储有该接入点设备的WiFi连接密码,从而可以自动连接至接入点设备。
本实施例,无线路由设备判断在其无线连接范围内是否存在允许接入的接入点设备,若存在允许接入的接入点设备,则该无线路由设备与该接入点设备建立网络连接,并断开与终端的网络连接,从而使得终端连接至接入点设备,通过该接入点设备接入互联网,进而实现终端自动从无线路由设备切换至接入点设备。
需要说明的是,本发明实施例中对无线路由设备为移动接入点,接入点设备为固定接入点,移动接入点与固定接入点之间实现终端的自动切换接入点的方法进行了解释说明,当然可以理解的,借鉴本发明实施例的思想也可以实现终端在移动接入点与移动接入点之间的切换。
下面采用一个具体的实施例,对图1所示方法实施例的技术方案进行详细说明。
图2为本发明自动切换接入点的方法实施例二的流程图,本实施例具体以无线路由设备为移动热点、接入点设备为家庭热点为例做示意性举例说明,如图2所示,本实施例的方法可以包括:
S201、在移动热点上预置家庭热点的SSID。
S202、移动热点工作于(AP+STA)模式。
其中,(AP+STA)模式即为本发明实施例一中的接入点AP功能和站点 STA功能模式,即可以扫描、连接其他热点设备,并且可以与站点(Station,简称STA)设备建立连接并管理各STA设备。该STA设备可以是手机、平板电脑等。该(AP+STA)模式也可称之为WiFi OFFLOAD模式。处于(AP+STA)模式的移动热点既具有AP功能也具有STA功能,其中,AP功能具体指可以供其他设备扫描和连接,STA功能具体指可以扫描和连接其他热点。
S203、移动热点周期性扫描周围存在的其他热点。
S204、当扫描到其他热点时,通过比对SSID判断其是否为预置的家庭热点。如果是,则执行S205;否则,执行S203。
S205、移动热点与家庭热点建立连接。
具体的建立连接过程为,移动热点自动向家庭热点发起WiFi连接请求消息,家庭热点向移动热点返回WiFi连接响应消息。
其中,还可利用DHCP option 125字段(Vendor ldentifying Vendor)进行二次辅助识别,具体的,移动热点在DHCP discover消息中携带DHCP option 125字段;收到家庭热点的DHCP offer消息后检查其option 125字段;如果一致则继续连接;否则丢弃,继续扫描/尝试其他热点。通过这种方式使移动路由器只自动连接指定供应商的家庭路由器,使得接入更为安全。
S206、连接成功后,移动热点自动关闭AP功能,触使已连接到移动热点上的STA设备连接断开,从而利用STA设备的自动扫描和重连功能,实现STA设备自动切换到家庭热点上。
其中,除了采用“关闭AP功能”方式外,也可通过先发送“去关联”(de-associate)消息,而后隐藏SSID、不响应STA设备接入请求的方式,实现对STA设备进行接入控制。
S207、移动热点关闭MODEM通信功能。
即移动热点关闭与3Gpp或3Gpp2等无线广域网的连接,以降低功耗,延长移动热点的工作时间。
S208、移动热点对家庭热点工作状态进行持续监测。
具体的,移动热点通过维持与家庭热点的WiFi连接,实现对家庭热点工作状态的持续监测。即该移动热点工作于STA模式,STA模式的移动热点仅具有STA功能,该STA模式即为本发明实施例一中的STA模式。
S209、如果移动热点与家庭热点的连接断开,则移动热点自动恢复AP功能。
具体的,移动热点一旦监测到与家庭热点失去连接(如家庭热点不能正常工作而被动断开,达到接入上限而被剔除,负载受限而被剔除,数据链路长时间不通而主动断开,远离到家庭热点无法覆盖的地方而主动断开等情况),则移动热点自动恢复AP功能,即重新工作于(AP+STA)模式,亦即OFFLOAD模式。此时STA设备又可自动搜索并连接上移动热点。
S210、移动热点自动开启MODEM通信功能,恢复通过4G/3G/2G连网的功能。
本实施例,通过移动热点周期性扫描周围其他热点,当扫描到其他热点时,根据热点的SSID判断是否为预置的家庭热点,如果是,则移动热点与家庭热点建立连接,并断开与STA设备的连接,从而使得STA设备自动重连至家庭热点上,从而实现STA设备可以自动从移动热点切换至家庭热点,即在家庭中的无线局域网覆盖范围外内,STA设备可以自动完成切换。进一步的,在STA设备与家庭热点建立连接进行通信的同时,移动热点也与家庭热点建立连接,从而可以实现对家庭热点的持续监测,当移动热点与家庭热点连接断开时,可以恢复期AP功能,使得STA设备又可以自动搜索并连接至其上,从而可以实现在家庭终端无线局域网覆盖范围内外,STA设备也可以自动完成切换。综上所述,即本实施例的方法可以实现STA设备在移动热点与家庭热点之间的自动切换。
通过上述两个实施例的详细说明可以清楚的理解本发明的主要思想,即通过移动接入点对终端的主动控制,从而实现终端的自动切换,通过移动接入点对固定接入点的持续监测和识别,可以有效控制终端的切换,并在固定接入点出现异常时,移动接入点可以作为备份接入点使得终端可以继续通过接入点与网络进行通信。
