Initial link setup communication device and method

Abstract

The invention provides an initial link setup communication device and method. The initial link setup communication device comprises a service processing module and a wireless receiving and transmitting module, wherein the service processing module is used for generating a first initial link setup message; the first initial link setup message comprises a first threshold value of signal intensity when an access point receives the first initial link setup message and / or a second threshold value of the load of the access point; the first initial link setup message is sent through the wireless receiving and transmitting module; and the wireless receiving and transmitting module is used for externally interacting data with the initial link setup communication device. With the adoption of the initial link setup communication device and method provided by the invention, the problem that the efficiency of setting up an initial link between an STA (Station) and the AP (Access point) when the STA receives too many APs can be solved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of communication, in particular to a communication device for establishing an initial network access connection and a communication method for establishing an initial network access connection. Background technique [0002] In IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) 802.11, a new working group FILS (Fast Initial Link Setup) was established. How does STA (station, terminal / station) quickly establish an initial connection with AP (Access Point, access point) at the same time? The requirement put forward by this project team is to require 100 terminals to establish connections with AP at the same time within 1 second. [0003] There are two ways for a STA to establish an initial connection with an AP, which are divided into passive scanning and active scanning. Passive scanning means that the STA listens to the Beacon (beacon) frame broadcast by the AP to learn the basic capability para...

[0004] If the STA adopts the active scanning method, it broadcasts the probe request message, because generally the SSID in this message is a wildcard. The so-called wildcard means that all APs that receive the STA’s probe request message can respond to the STA, which will cause the STA to receive many This will cause the STA to take longer to receive the AP response message, but the STA can only choose one AP to continue the initial connection establishment process, but the time waiting for the AP response message is wasted, reducing the efficiency of STA network access. Its specific diagram is as figure 1 shown

[0005] Therefore, there is a need for a technical solution that can ensure that the AP selectively responds to the Probe request broadcast by the STA to solve the problem that the STA receives too many response messages from the AP and affects the efficiency of the initial connection between the STA and the AP.
