Abstract

The invention discloses a load balancing method for wireless local area network (LAN). The load balancing method includes: a current wireless access point receives an association request sent by a site; the current wireless access point acquires a wireless load of the current wireless access point and wireless loads of other wireless access points capable of detecting the site; and the current wireless access point determines, based on the wireless load of the current wireless access point and the wireless loads of other wireless access points capable of detecting the site, whether the current wireless access point satisfies a preset access condition, If so, the current wireless access point allows the site to access, and otherwise, the current wireless access point rejects the access of the site. The invention also discloses a wireless access point. With the invention, when the wireless load of the current wireless access point is large, the site can be distributed to other wireless access points, and thus the load balancing effect in the wireless LAN is optimized.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of communication technology, in particular to a load balancing method and a wireless access point of a wireless local area network. Background technique

[0002] Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN, Wireless Local Area Networks) is a wireless data network that builds a local area network wirelessly and uses electromagnetic waves to send and receive data in the air. The wireless local area network includes a station (STA) and a wireless access point (AP, Access Point). The station sends a detection request and an association request to the wireless access point to access the wireless access point.

[0003] The basic architecture of wireless LAN is divided into "fat" AP architecture and "thin" AP architecture. The "fat" AP architecture refers to the traditional wireless access architecture. Each AP is independent of each other and managed separately; When there is basically no terminal access, the load between APs will...

Embodiment Construction

[0052] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the present invention, not to limit the present invention.

[0053] refer to figure 1 , figure 1 It is a schematic flow chart of the first embodiment of the load balancing method of the wireless local area network of the present invention, the method includes:

[0054] S10. The current wireless access point receives the association request sent by the station.

[0055] The current wireless access point can be a single-band wireless access point or a dual-band wireless access point. In an embodiment, the current wireless access point is a dual-band wireless access point, which can Frequency band work, the first frequency band is 2.4G and the second frequency band is 5.8G, or the first frequency band is 5.8G and the second frequency band is 2.4G, that is, the current wireless access point can be in the first frequency band or the second frequency band The second band receives ...
