A method for channel optimization of a single access device in an AP cluster networking environment

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for optimizing a channel of a single access device in an AP cluster networking environment. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, configuring an AP to be optimized to the monitoring mode, selecting a wireless channel of the AP for monitoring, and then notifying all other APs that work in the wireless channel in the cluster to respectively send a fixed number of data frames with specified sizes to the AP, enabling the AP to be optimized to receive the data frames, parsing the data frames based on an RSSI energy shift, and calculating the number of the data frames to obtain a channel energy evaluation sheet, and then marking specific scores according to the RSSI energy shift, and calculating the interference evaluation score of each wireless channel to finally determine the wireless channel with minimum interference as a working channel of the optimized AP. According to the method disclosed by the invention, the noise level of each channel can be determined more accurately by fully using the channel resources without changing the configuration of other APs in the network, and the final purpose of improving the overall wireless performance of the networking environment can be achieved; and the method is convenient, fast, simple and applicable.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of network communication, in particular to a method for channel optimization of a single access device in an AP cluster networking environment. Background technique [0002] As wireless networking is more and more applied to the deployment of commercial networks, such as high-density coverage scenarios such as shopping malls, hospitals, hotels, and meeting rooms, the cluster architecture of thin AP access is generally adopted. AP (Access Point, wireless Access point), thin AP refers to the AP that needs AC (Access Controller, access controller) to manage, debug and control, it cannot work independently, and must be used in conjunction with AC. In the early stage of network deployment, the unified planning of the entire network can be used to realize the interval use of channels, so as to avoid channel conflicts in the network system as much as possible. However, with the increase in the utilization ...

Problems solved by technology

At this time, the traditional detection and energy accumulation methods are used. In this "dirty" environment, it is almost impossible to find a channel without wireless interference. At this time, how to configure a relatively "clean" channel for a single wireless device that is newly added or needs to be adjusted. Guaranteeing the working performance of channels has become a difficult problem for network administrators
