Method and device for starting access points of wireless local area network

Abstract

The invention discloses a method and device for starting access points of a wireless local area network. The method includes the steps of receiving terminal signals monitored by all the first access points (AP) in the wireless local area network (WLAN), wherein the first APs are started APs; determining whether a target terminal set not capable of being borne by the first APs exists or not on the basis of the intensity of the terminal signals and the number of terminals borne by the first APs; determining service clusters of all the target terminals on the basis of the signal intensity of the target terminals in the target terminal set and the AP clusters to which the target first APs of the monitored target terminal signals after it is determined that the target terminal set exists; starting the second APs in the WLAN on the basis of the signal intensity and the service clusters of all the target terminals, wherein the second APs are APs which are not started. The method and the device can solve the problem that in the prior art, when it is detected that the started APs in the WLAN can not bear new users, because randomly-started new APs may be far away from new users, the experience of new users is poor.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of wireless local area network, in particular to a method and device for starting an access point of a wireless local area network. Background technique [0002] In recent years, the energy consumption of the information and communication technology (Information and Communication Technologies, ICT) industry has increased significantly, and about 37% of the energy is consumed by network infrastructure. Therefore, designing a green and sustainable wireless network has become an important research direction. Existing studies have shown that WLAN is deployed on a large scale, and there are obvious peak and valley periods in user usage. During the valley period, the mismatch between resources and demands leads to greater energy waste. [0003] One of the main means to save energy consumption of WLAN is to turn off the access point (AccessPoint, AP) in the dense coverage area during the idle period, and when a ne...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] Aiming at the defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a method and device for activating an access point of a wireless local area network, so as to solve the problem of random opening of another AP when a new user is detected in the prior art and the activated AP cannot bear the load. AP, the newly opened AP may be far away from the new user, making the new user experience poor technical problems
