A positioning method and device for a wireless node ap network element

Abstract

The present invention discloses a wireless node AP network element positioning method and device. M APs are deployed in a physical area, and the M APs include N first reference APs and L APs to be positioned, wherein, The physical position of the first reference AP and the first distance value between any two first reference APs are determined; the method includes: obtaining the first electromagnetic wave received by the first AP to be positioned among the L APs to be positioned signal; according to the obtained first electromagnetic wave signal, determine the second distance value between the first AP to be positioned and each first reference AP; according to the first distance value, the second distance value and the obtained The physical location of each first reference AP is determined to determine the physical location of the first AP to be located. The method and device provided by the invention determine the physical position of each placed AP network element in the network management topology through automatic calculation by the system, which is convenient for the network administrator to manage the AP.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of data processing, in particular to a positioning method and device for a wireless node AP network element. Background technique [0002] As a wireless technology, WLAN is adopted by more and more business users. Using wireless technology to deploy internal networks can reduce the problems encountered in a large number of wired deployments. It is a fast, easy-to-use network networking technology. [0003] In the current network deployment of enterprises or industrial parks, hundreds or thousands of wireless access points (WLANAPs) usually need to be deployed. In order to facilitate the management of APs in the network management system, after deploying network nodes at specific In the deployment position in the actual environment, the AP icon (network element) corresponding to the AP is correspondingly marked in the building drawing of the actual environment, so that it is convenient to configure the actual physical...
