Method, system and device for testing wireless local area network (WLAN)

Abstract

The invention provides a method, system and device for testing a wireless local area network (WLAN). In the method, a station (STA) used for test is adopted to scan neighboring access points (AP) and send the identification information of scanned APs to connected access controllers (AC); the ACs send data acquisition commands to corresponding APs according to a test request sent by the STA used for test; according to the data acquisition commands, the APs return network performance state data collected and counted by the APs to the ACs, wherein the state data comprises transmission performance data reflecting that the AP transmits a data massage in the process of operation, abnormal state data and the number of the STAs corresponding to the APs and the transmission performance data of theSTAs; and statistics is carries out on the network state performance data of the APs by the ACs according to the preset statistic policy, so as to obtain the current operation state of the WLAN. In the invention, the current operation state of the WLAN is tested without adding hardware equipment, thus the hardware cost is reduced and the probability of misjudgment is lowered.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of network communication, in particular to a testing method, system and equipment of a wireless local area network. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of information technology, people's demand for network communication is constantly increasing. As the product of the combination of computer network and wireless communication technology, wireless local area network has caused widespread popularity among network equipment manufacturers, network operators and users due to its flexible and convenient advantages. focus on. Wireless local area network utilizes an effective method of wireless multiple access channels to support communication between computers, and enables the mobility, personalization and multimedia applications of communication to be realized. [0003] A wireless access point (Access Point, AP for short) device, also known as a wireless access point device, is a network devi...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0007] The present invention provides a test method, system and equipment of a wireless local area network, which is used to overcome the need to use a special network test tool to capture the sending and receiving data between the AP device and the STA in the existing wireless local area network test method, so as to capture Analyze all received and sent data, which increases the cost of the test, and the test results depend on the analysis process of the captured data. If the analysis is wrong, it may cause inaccurate testing.
