Detailed ways

In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, those of ordinary skill in the art can understand that in each embodiment of the application, many technical details are provided for readers to better understand the application. However, even without these technical details and various changes and modifications based on the following embodiments, the technical solutions claimed in this application can also be realized. The division of the following embodiments is for the convenience of description, and should not constitute any limitation to the specific implementation of the present application, and the embodiments can be combined and referred to each other on the premise of no contradiction.

In one embodiment, it relates to a method for coloring networking equipment, which is applied to controllers in a Mesh network. The Mesh network also includes several BSS groups, each BSS group includes several agent devices, and each agent device is connected to several STA devices , the controller assigns a coloring group to the BSS group, and delivers the assigned coloring group to the agent device and STA device corresponding to the BSS group.

Please refer to FIG. 1 , which is a scene example diagram of a coloring method for networking equipment provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 1, there is one and only one controller (Controller) in the Mesh network. There are several groups of BSS groups composed of agents and STA devices under the controller. The controller assigns coloring to the subordinate BSS groups. group, and then send it to the agent device and STA device corresponding to the BSS group. Please refer to FIG. 2 , which is another scene example diagram of the method for coloring networked devices provided in the embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 2, the controller can be a proxy device at the same time, and can be connected to a STA device (not shown in the figure), and the proxy device directly connected to the controller can not only connect to the STA device, but also communicate with another proxy device. connection, where both the controller and the proxy device can be APs.

The specific flow of the networking device coloring method provided in the embodiment of the present application is shown in Figure 3, including the following steps:

S101: Assign a coloring group to the BSS group.

When the controller assigns coloring groups to BSS groups, it can generally assign the same coloring group to the same BSS group to reduce the use of coloring group resources, and assign different coloring groups to different BSS groups to reduce packet traffic by using coloring groups. blocking conditions. Of course, other allocation methods can also be set according to the actual situation. For example, when there are two or more agent devices in one BSS group, different coloring groups can also be assigned to different agent devices in the same BSS group; When the signal interference between different BSS groups is small, the same coloring group can also be assigned to different BSS groups. The manner in which the controller allocates coloring groups to the BSS groups can be set according to actual needs, and there is no limitation here.

S102: Deliver the assigned coloring group to the agent device and STA device corresponding to the BSS group.

When sending the assigned coloring group to the agent device and STA device corresponding to the BSS, if the coloring group assigned by the same BSS group is the same, the assigned coloring group is directly sent to the agent device included in the BSS group and STA devices; if the coloring groups assigned by the proxy devices in the same BSS group are different, the corresponding coloring groups will be delivered to the proxy device and STA device corresponding to the coloring group.

It should be noted that the method for coloring networked devices provided in the embodiments of the present application uses BSS color technology for coloring, and requires at least one of the networking devices included in the Mesh network, such as controllers, proxy devices, and STA devices, to support BSScolor technology. When a BSS group does not contain devices supporting BSS color technology, the controller may not assign a coloring group to the BSS group.

The networking device coloring method provided in the embodiment of this application, by assigning a coloring group to a BSS group, and sending the assigned coloring group to the agent device and STA device corresponding to the BSS group, can use the BSS color technology to color each mesh network. The networking equipment that supports coloring can be colored; because the networking equipment can filter the processing packets in the Mesh network according to the color after coloring, reducing the analysis of packets that are not sent to itself, so it can reduce the packet congestion in the Mesh network At the same time, by assigning coloring groups to BSS groups through the controller, the resources of the coloring groups can be uniformly allocated by the controller, which is conducive to the centralized management of the resources of the coloring groups and reduces coloring conflicts between BSS groups.

In a specific example, assigning a coloring group to a BSS group in S101 includes: collecting target information of the BSS group, and assigning a coloring group to the BSS group according to the target information of the BSS group.

Among them, the target information may include the number, level, wireless capability, uplink mode, signal strength, STA device information (number, signal strength, wireless capability) associated with the proxy device, and neighbor information of the proxy device. at least one. The target information may be part or all of the above, and the specific information included may be set according to actual needs, which is not limited here.

When assigning a coloring group to a BSS group according to the target information of the BSS group, the coloring group can be reasonably allocated according to the specific information included in the target information, and the specific allocation method is not limited here. For example, if the target information includes the number of proxy devices, the controller can reasonably allocate the number of coloring groups according to the number of proxy devices. When the number of proxy devices is small, the controller can allocate more coloring groups, which can Reduce signal interference between networked devices and improve communication efficiency; when the number of proxy devices is large, the controller can allocate fewer coloring groups to avoid the number of assigned coloring groups exceeding the limit of the number of coloring groups themselves. If the target information includes the level of the proxy device, the controller can allocate more coloring groups to BSS groups with more levels, thereby further reducing signal interference between proxy devices and improving communication efficiency.

By collecting the target information of the BSS group, and then assigning coloring groups to the BSS group according to the target information of the BSS group, reasonable allocation can be made according to the specific conditions of the networking equipment, and the communication efficiency of the networking can be improved.

In a specific example, the above-mentioned collection of the target information of the BSS group may include: collecting the information of the wireless capabilities of the proxy device and the STA device corresponding to the BSS group; and the above-mentioned assignment of a coloring group to the BSS group according to the target information of the BSS group, then It may include: judging whether the proxy device or STA device corresponding to the BSS group supports WIFI6 according to the wireless capability information, and if so, assigning a coloring group to the BSS group, otherwise not assigning a coloring group.

That is, the wireless capability information of proxy devices and STA devices includes WIFI6 support information. Since WIFI6 devices currently support BSS color technology, if the proxy device or STA device corresponding to the BSS group does not support WIFI6, it does not support BSS color technology. The controller does not assign a coloring group to the BSS group; if the proxy device and/or STA device corresponding to the BSS group supports WIFI6, it indicates that it supports BSS color technology, and the controller can assign a coloring group to the BSS.

By collecting the wireless capability information of the agent device and STA device corresponding to the BSS group, it can be judged whether the networking device can apply BSS color technology for coloring according to the wireless capability information; if the coloring group can be applied, it will not be assigned. The coloring group can perform effective coloring according to the actual situation of the networking equipment.

In a specific example, the above collection of wireless capability information of the agent device and STA device corresponding to the BSS group may include: sending a preset request to each BSS group, receiving the reply information of the BSS group to the preset request, and according to the reply The information collects the wireless capability information of the agent device and the STA device corresponding to each BSS group.

Wherein, the preset request can be defined according to needs, and is used to request the wireless capability information of the agent device and the STA device corresponding to the BSS group. For example, the controller can send the preset request by sending the following custom message:

1905 AP Wi-Fi6-Capability query message 0x0010;

If no reply message from the BSS group for the preset request is received, it is considered that the BSS group does not support WIFI6, and the controller does not assign coloring to the BSS group; or, if it receives a reply from the BSS group that does not support WIFI6, the controller does not BSS group for coloring assignments.

After receiving the preset request, the agent device corresponding to the BSS group can reply information according to the following custom message:

905 AP Wi-Fi6-Capability report message 0x0011;

-One AP Wi-Fi6-Capability TLV 0x40;

-Zero or more AP Bss-color TLV 0x41;

Among them, if the proxy device and the STA device connected to it support WIFI6, the coloring of the enabled Bss will be issued through the AP Bss-color TLV. If not supported, there is no need to issue the AP Bss-color TLV, as shown in the following table Custom TLV corresponding to proxy devices supporting WIFI6:

Correspondingly, the controller sends the coloring group to the proxy device as shown in the following table:

By sending a preset request to each BSS group, receiving the reply information of the BSS group to the preset request, and collecting the wireless capability information of the agent device and STA device corresponding to each BSS group according to the reply information, the information of the BSS group can be collected effectively Information about wireless capabilities.

In a specific example, before sending the preset request to each BSS group, it also includes: collecting the link information of the agent device and the STA device corresponding to the BSS group included in the controller; and the above-mentioned target information according to the BSS group Allocating the coloring group to the BSS group may include: allocating the coloring group to the BSS group according to the link information and the wireless capability information.

When collecting the link information of the agent device and the STA device corresponding to the BSS group included in the controller, the collection may be performed according to the Multi-AP protocol.

Please refer to FIG. 4 , which is an example flow chart of a method for coloring networked devices provided in an embodiment of the present application. The general process is as follows:

1. The controller first collects the link information (including associated information) of the agent device and the STA device attached to it through the Multi-AP protocol;

2. The controller sends a custom message to request information about the WIFI6 capability of the proxy device and the attached STA device;

3. After receiving the request, the proxy device reports the information about its WIFI6 capability to the controller;

4. After receiving the information that all proxy devices support WIFI6 capabilities, the controller assigns and distributes coloring according to the preset coloring mechanism;

5. Each device maintains or distributes the coloring of the connected STA devices.

By collecting the link information of the agent device and STA device corresponding to the BSS group, the coloring group can be assigned to the BSS group according to the link information and wireless capability information, so that the assigned coloring group is more in line with the actual situation of the networking device, and the grouping can be carried out effectively. Shading of mesh devices.

In a specific example, the above-mentioned link information includes the level of the agent device, and the above-mentioned allocation of coloring groups to the BSS group according to the link information and wireless capability information may include: obtaining the mapping relationship between the level and the number of coloring groups, according to the mapping The hierarchy of relationships and proxy devices assigns a corresponding number of shading groups to the BSS group.

Wherein, the mapping relationship between the level and the number of coloring groups can be preset in the controller, and the specific mapping relationship can be set according to actual needs, and there is no specific limitation here. For example, when the level is 1, there may be one coloring group, when the level is 4, there may be two coloring groups, and so on.

By obtaining the mapping relationship between the level and the number of coloring groups, and assigning a corresponding number of coloring groups to the BSS group according to the mapping relationship and the level of the proxy device, it is possible to set more coloring groups when the level of the proxy device is large, reducing signal interference , to improve communication efficiency; it is also possible to set fewer coloring groups when there are fewer levels of agent devices, saving coloring group resources.

In a specific example, the above-mentioned link information includes the signal interference value between each proxy device, and the above-mentioned coloring group is assigned to the BSS group according to the link information and wireless capability information, including: if the signal between two proxy devices If the interference value is greater than the first preset threshold, assign different coloring groups to the two agent devices and the connected STA devices; if the signal interference value between the two agent devices is less than the second preset threshold, then two The proxy device and the attached STA device are assigned the same coloring group, where the first preset threshold is greater than the second preset threshold.

The first preset threshold and the second preset threshold can be set according to actual needs, and are not limited here.

By assigning different coloring groups when the signal interference value between the two agent devices is greater than the first preset threshold, when the signal interference between the two agent devices is too large, different coloring groups can be used to reduce the number of the two agent devices. The message blocking situation of the hanging STA device improves the communication efficiency; and when the signal interference value between the two proxy devices is less than the second preset threshold, the same coloring group can be allocated when the signal interference of the two proxy devices is small, Use the same coloring group to reduce the use of coloring groups, save coloring group resources while ensuring communication efficiency, and perform coloring for more networking devices.

In a specific example, the networking device coloring method provided by the embodiment of the present application further includes: if there is a newly added STA device or a roaming STA device in the Mesh network, obtaining the corresponding Proxy device; assign a coloring group corresponding to the proxy device to a newly added STA device or a roaming STA device.

By coloring the newly added STA device or the roaming STA device as the coloring of the corresponding proxy device, it is possible to reasonably color the newly added STA device or the roaming STA device.

In a specific example, the networking device coloring method provided by the embodiment of the present application further includes: if there is a newly added proxy device or a roaming proxy device in the Mesh network, obtaining the information of the newly added proxy device or the roaming proxy device Target information; according to the target information of the newly added proxy device or the roaming proxy device, assign a coloring group to the proxy device.
