Method and equipment for improving AP wireless access efficiency in wireless positioning network

Abstract

The invention discloses a method and equipment for improving AP wireless access efficiency in a wireless positioning network. The method comprises that: network management equipment determines an AP corresponding to the equipment which needs to be positioned, acquires the AP which needs to be switched into a hybrid mode according to the AP and a preset strategy, and sends a mode switching command to the AP which needs to be switched into the hybrid mode; the network management equipment acquires a wireless signal strength of the equipment which needs to be positioned from the AP in the hybrid mode corresponding to the equipment which needs to be positioned, searches a corresponding relationship between the wireless signal strength and a specific position, and determines the position of the wireless equipment; and the AP is switched back to an access mode according to the mode switching command of the network management equipment or from the hybrid mode automatically. The method and the equipment dynamically control the switching of the AP in the wireless positioning network between the access mode and the hybrid mode according to the actual requirement, and improve the wireless access efficiency and resource utilization rate of the AP in the wireless positioning network.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of communications, and in particular to a method and equipment for improving AP wireless access efficiency in a wireless positioning network. Background technique [0002] Currently, with the widespread use of WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network, wireless local area network) systems, more and more places begin to use wireless access methods. The mobility and flexibility of wireless access have brought great convenience to people. [0003] In addition to wireless access through the WLAN network, wireless location positioning can also be achieved. The basic principle is that multiple APs (Access Points) can comprehensively determine the wireless equipment by monitoring the signal strength of the wireless equipment. The specific location of the AP includes the wireless location of the AP itself or the STA (Station) associated with the AP. The wireless positioning process is divided into two stages. The first is sampling...

Problems solved by technology

Therefore, in the existing wireless location network, the method of directly setting the AP to the promiscuous mode reduces the wireless access efficiency of the AP when it does not need to provide wireless location services.
