Example Embodiment

[0020] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0021] The method provided by the present invention mainly includes: the AC determines whether the activation condition or the dormancy condition of the AP is satisfied, and when the activation condition of the AP is satisfied, notifying the AP to enter the running state from the dormant state; when the dormancy condition of the AP is satisfied, Notify the AP to enter the sleep state from the run state.

[0022] In the prior art, an AP only has two states: a run state and an idle state. When the AP is in the run state, the AP remains connected to the AC and provides access services for user terminals; when the AP is in the idle state, the AP is not connected to the AC and does not provide access services for any user terminals. In the present ...

Abstract

The invention provides a method for managing access points (AP), an access controller (AC) and an access point (AP), wherein the method comprises the following steps: determining whether the activation condition or the sleep condition of AP is met or not by the AC, and informing the AP to enter a running state from a sleep state when the activation condition of the AP is met; and informing the AP to enter the sleep state from the running state when the sleep condition of the AP is met and keeping connection with the AC when the AP is in the sleep state but not providing access service for any user terminal. The invention can flexibly increase or decrease the number of the AP which provides access service as required, reduce the power consumption and avoid the energy waste.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of mobile communication, in particular to a method for managing a wireless access point, an access controller and a wireless access point. Background technique [0002] Wireless communication systems generally adopt wireless centralized management architecture, such as figure 1 As shown, an access controller (AC, Access Control) centrally controls and manages multiple wireless access points (AP, Access Point). Due to the limited number of user terminals and network bandwidth that an AP can support, in order to provide better wireless services in practical applications, multiple APs will be deployed in an area. When the number of user terminals is large and the network traffic is heavy, load balancing is performed on multiple APs in the same area. [0003] However, in the prior art, multiple APs in the same area are managed in a load sharing manner, so that all APs in the same area are in the running state,...
