Control method for terminal access and control equipment

Abstract

The invention discloses a control method for terminal access and control equipment. The method includes the following steps: an access point AP judges whether the number of terminal Stations of an access basic service set BSS reaches the connecting upper limit of the BSS; when the judgment result is positive, the AP sets the value in an SSID domain in a Beacon frame corresponding to the BSS as a specified value that can not be analysed by the Station, and sends the value in the SSID domain as the Beacon frame of the specified value that can not be analysed by the Station. The use of the invention causes that the Station that is not accessed in the BSS can not perceive the existence of the BSS when the AP judges that the BSS reaches the connecting upper limit, thus connecting other BSSs, realizing the load distribution of the AP and improving the using efficiency of network resources.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the communication field, in particular to a terminal access control method and control equipment. Background technique [0002] An existing WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network, wireless local area network) includes two typical networking architectures, namely a FAT AP architecture and a Fit AP architecture. [0003] The schematic diagram of the FAT AP architecture is as follows figure 1 As shown, in the FAT AP architecture, an AP (Access Point, access point) independently assumes the role of a wireless access point. Wireless packets are converted into wired packets on the FATAP, and then forwarded to the wired network. Wired packets from the wired network are converted into wireless packets on the FAT AP, and then forwarded to the corresponding Station (terminal). [0004] The schematic diagram of the FIT AP architecture is as follows figure 2 As shown, in the FIT AP architecture, AC (AccessController, access control...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Station cannot perceive that the AP load has reached the upper limit

APs with relatively weak signals are always idle

At this time, because the Station cannot perceive the load of the AP, it will continue to try to connect to the AP with a strong signal and fail continuously, resulting in a waste of resources.

Although some stations will connect to APs with relatively weak signals after trying to connect several times, it will also bring bad experience to the station
