Embodiment Construction

[0056] The basic concept of the present invention is: when the Station performs BSS switching, it selects the AP with the smallest search time delay for authentication and association.

[0057] Among them, the search delay is obtained by broadcasting the search request frame and receiving the search response frame responded by the AP during the process of the station actively searching for the AP. It is the time from the station sending the search request frame to receiving the search response frame responded by the AP Interval value.

[0058] Station can obtain several search delays (receive several search response frames) from a certain AP, and calculate the mean value of search delays according to the mathematical model defined in the present invention for these search delays.

[0059] The present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0060] The calculation of AP discovery delay occurs during t...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method and a device for selecting an access point (AP). The method for selecting the AP during a basic service set (BSS) switching process comprises the following steps that: a Station selects the AP with the minimum search delay from a Cache and performs authentication and association when performing BBS switch, wherein the search delay is a time interval value starting from the time when a search request is sent by the Station to the time when a search response frame is received from the AP. Through the method and the device, the condition of a wireless link is taken into comprehensive consideration and the load imbalance of the AP is effectively avoided; moreover, in the method, a 802.11 protocol does not need to be modified and the method has high deployability.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the communication field, in particular to a method and device for selecting an access point. Background technique [0002] With the development of wireless transmission technology, the wireless local area network (WLAN) based on the IEEE 802.11 protocol has been deployed on a large scale. The WLAN in the infrastructure mode mainly consists of two parts: Basic Service Set (Basic Service Set, referred to as BSS) and a distributed system (Distribution System, referred to as DS) that connects the BSS. [0003] Such as figure 1 , BSS is composed of an access point (AP for short) and some stations (Station) associated with this AP, and its size is determined by the signal coverage of the AP. AP association (Association) can communicate with other hosts in the network, for example figure 1 In , the basic service set corresponding to AP1 consists of AP1 and two Stations associated with AP1. The DS connects scattered BSSs to...
