Bandwidth allocation method, authentication authorization billing server, AC and AP

Abstract

The embodiments of the invention relate to the wireless communication technology, and particularly relate to a bandwidth allocation method, an authentication authorization billing server, an AC and an AP for solving the problem that when user equipment performs the first Internet authentication, uplink and downlink bandwidth upper limits of the user equipment are allocated by the AC and the AP, so the user equipment has disadvantages of poor experience or bandwidth resource waste in the prior art. The bandwidth allocation method provided in the embodiments of the invention comprises the following steps: according to the type of the service performed by the user equipment, service bandwidth information allocated to the user equipment is determined; and the service bandwidth information is sent to an access point through an access controller corresponding to the user equipment to indicate the access point to allocate the service bandwidth to the user equipment. According to the embodiments of the invention, the experience of the user equipment can be improved, and the waste of bandwidth resources can be avoided to a certain extent.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to wireless communication technology, in particular to a method for configuring bandwidth, authentication, authorization and accounting server, AC and AP. Background technique [0002] In the current WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network), when the user equipment is authenticated for the first time online, the network element AC (access controller) and network element AP (access point) configure the upper limit of the uplink and downlink bandwidth of the user equipment, that is, the upper limit of the uplink and downlink bandwidth of the user equipment is statically specified. The highest available bandwidth of the user equipment, for example, the network element AC and the network element AP configure the upper limit of the uplink and downlink bandwidth of the user equipment 1 to 4 Mbps (megabits per second), then the highest available bandwidth of the user equipment 1 is 4 Mbps. [0003] For scenarios where the bandwidth of ...
