Problems solved by technology

Although using multiple access points to cover the same area can meet the application requirements of user terminals in the coverage area, if multiple access points are used to cover the same area, it will waste power when there are fewer users

Embodiment 1

[0041] This embodiment will be described from the perspective of the master access point.

[0042] A method for managing an access point working group, comprising: a primary access point receiving load information and / or status information reported by a secondary access point in the current access point working group, and according to the load information and / or status information The state of the secondary access point is controlled, wherein, the primary access point and the secondary access point are preset by the network or determined by negotiation between the access points.

[0043] In addition, before the primary access point receives the load information and / or status information reported by the secondary access point in the current access point working group, a connection needs to be established between the primary access point and the secondary access point, that is, the management interface Entry-point working group approaches may also include:

[0044] The primary ac...

Embodiment 2

[0083] This embodiment will be described from the perspective of the secondary access point.

[0084]A method for managing an access point working group, comprising: a secondary access point reports load information and / or state information to a primary access point in the current access point working group, and accepts the primary access point according to the load information and / or status information Or state control made by state information. Wherein, the main access point and the secondary access point are preset by the network or determined through negotiation between the access points.

[0085] In addition, before the secondary access point reports load information and / or status information to the primary access point in the current access point working group, a connection needs to be established between the secondary access point and the primary access point, that is, the management access point Point working group methods can also include:

[0086] The secondary acc...

Embodiment 3

[0116] According to the methods described in the previous embodiments, examples will be given below for further detailed description.

[0117] In this embodiment, it will be described by taking the setting of the primary access point and the secondary access point in a preset manner as an example.

[0118] Since the access points covering the same area have been pre-set who will be the primary access point and who will be the secondary access point, after the primary access point is powered on, it can directly enter the service state, and after the secondary access point is powered on, It is necessary to first discover the main access point as a user terminal role, then associate with the main access point, and negotiate the communication mechanism (that is, if it communicates after negotiation), and then enter the standby state. When the primary access point determines that the total load in the area is too heavy, it notifies the secondary access point to enter the service st...

Abstract

An embodiment of the invention discloses an access point and a method for managing an access point working group. The method includes: dividing access points in the access point working group into a main access point and auxiliary access points, wherein a communication mechanism can be consulted between the main access point and each auxiliary access point; and then, enabling the main access point to receive load information and/or status information reported by each auxiliary access point according to the communication mechanism determined after consultation and to control the status of each auxiliary access point according to the communication mechanism determined after consultation and the received load information and/or status information, so that flexible management of the access point working group is realized, for example, when total load of the access point working group is heavy, the main access point controls each auxiliary access point to enter a service status to meet needs of a user terminal, and when the total load of the access working group is light, the main access point controls each auxiliary access point to enter a standby status to save electrical energy.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of communication technology, in particular to a method for managing an access point (AP, Access Point) working group and the access point. Background technique [0002] Accessing the Internet through a Wireless Fidelity (WiFi, Wireless Fidelity) hotspot is an important way to access the Internet wirelessly, and many public places have corresponding access points. However, the bandwidth resources of an access point are limited. If there are too many user terminals accessing the Internet through an access point at the same time, the bandwidth allocated to each user terminal will be very small, resulting in a very slow Internet access speed, or even impossible. Media business with video. In order to provide available bandwidth resources in a densely populated area, the prior art proposes to use multiple access points to cover the same area, where the multiple access points covering the same area are called an access poi...
