A method and device for controlling power supply of a wireless access point AP

Abstract

The invention discloses a wireless AP power supply control method. The wireless AP power supply control method comprises, according to the power change information and the flow change information of an AP in every continuous time interval, judging whether the AP has user access features in every continuous time interval; based on a judging result, setting a corresponding power supply identity and further generating a power supply control strategy corresponding to the AP; through a power supply control device in a switch, independently switching on and off a port for suspending the AP. Therefore, aimed management on the flow and the power of every AP under the switch can be achieved, the network utilization rate can be improved, and the power consumption of a WLAN (wireless local area network) system can be reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of communication technology, in particular to a power supply control method of a wireless access point AP. The invention also relates to a power supply control device of a wireless access point AP. Background technique [0002] With the rapid growth of mobile Internet data traffic, the scale of WLAN networks is expanding day by day. Network operators provide WLAN access point coverage services in different public places such as universities, airports, and enterprises. However, in order to ensure network coverage, service quality and user experience, WLAN access network element equipment AC (access control equipment), ONU / PoE (Power over Ethernet switch) and AP (access point equipment) are basically 7* For 24-hour continuous operation, neither the operator nor the existing IEEE802.11 series standards consider the energy-saving strategy on the AP side, resulting in a large number of idle APs and waste of power.

Problems solved by technology

However, due to limited objective conditions, the existing WLAN network management systems and PON network management systems in different regions have different standards and manufacturers. The PON networks of different manufacturers are incorporated into their own EMS network management for independent management. The realization of scheme 2 depends on the additional power supply on-off monitoring controller and remote control platform, which increases the procurement cost and system power consumption (the controller is active), and affects the consistency of the network topology

At the same time, the scheduled shutdown time of Solution 2 is set by the operator based on experience, which may not be suitable for actual network operation conditions, and can only be set for all APs connected to the ONU / PoE switch. Set a specific shutdown time based on the actual network operation of an AP
