A network switching method and apparatus based on network load control

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention discloses a network switching method and apparatus based on network load control. The method comprises initiating a request for measuring the load of a target access point AP through a mobile broadband network by a receiving terminal, wherein the request comprises the MAC address of the target AP; querying and obtaining the IP address of the target AP according to the MAC address of the target AP; transmitting the request to the target AP on the basis of the IP address of the target AP; receiving a measured result fed by the target AP, comparing the measured result and a set parameter threshold, and determining whether to execute the switch from the mobile broadband network to a wireless broadband network; and if network switching is determined, transmitting switching indication to a terminal in order that the terminal achieves the switch from the mobile broadband network to the wireless broadband network. The network switching apparatus is still capable of effectively maintaining the user rate in the mobile broadband network after switched to the wireless broadband network so as to further guarantee good user experience.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of multi-network collaboration between a mobile broadband network and a wireless broadband network, in particular, to a method and device for switching between networks based on network load control. Background technique [0002] At present, such as CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access, Code Division Multiple Access), WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access, Wideband Code Division Multiple Access), HSPA (High Speed ​​Packet Access, High Speed ​​Packet Access), LTE ( The integration of mobile broadband networks such as Long Term Evolution (Long Term Evolution) and wireless broadband networks such as WiFi (Wireless Fidelity) has also become a hot spot in the industry. At this stage, a unified authentication architecture based on mobile broadband networks + wireless broadband networks has been realized. inter-network switching. However, at present, the terminal only determines whether to perform inter-netwo...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

During the establishment of the communication link of the wireless broadband network, due to the lack of access control capability based on the network load, when the mobile broadband network and the wireless broadband network are handed over, the one-way successful handover from the mobile broadband network to the wireless broadband network may not necessarily It can guarantee the user speed experience, so that the user perception after switching may be reduced
