Method and system for achieving intelligent energy saving of AP

Abstract

The invention discloses a method and system for achieving the intelligent energy saving of an AP, and relates to the field of wireless local area network communication. The method comprises the following steps: S1, carrying out the configuration of an AP; S2, judging whether there is a load mounted on the AP or not: executing step S3 if there is the load mounted on the AP, or else executing step S4; S3, judging whether the flow consumption of a terminal at the AP in an energy saving switching period is less than a set value or not: executing step S5 if the flow consumption of the terminal at the AP in the energy saving switching period is less than the set value, or else executing step S6; S4, judging whether the zero-load time of the terminal at the AP is greater than the energy saving switching period or not: executing step S5 if the zero-load time of the terminal at the AP is greater than the energy saving switching period, or else executing step S6; S5, enabling the AP to enter a sleep mode, and finishing the operation; S6, enabling the AP to enter a normal mode, and finishing the operation. A system employing an AP intelligent energy saving mode is implemented based on the above method. The method achieves the judgment of whether there is a terminal load mounted at the AP or not and whether the flow consumption of the mounted terminal exceeds the set value or not through the AP, so as to determine whether the AP needs to enter the energy saving mode or not, thereby achieving a purpose of effectively saving energy in a long-time operation process of the AP.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of wireless local area network communication, in particular to a method and system for realizing AP intelligent energy saving. Background technique [0002] A wireless AP (Access Point), that is, a multi-port repeater in a traditional wired network, is the most commonly used device when building a small wireless LAN. As the central point of the wireless local area network, it serves as a bridge for other computers equipped with wireless network cards to access the wireless local area network. At the same time, it provides long-distance wireless connection for wired local area network or long-distance wired connection for small wireless local area network. Connect to achieve the purpose of extending the network range. [0003] Due to the popularity of the Internet, wireless APs have achieved a large area of ​​network coverage, making wireless APs visible everywhere in daily life. Family housing, company buildings and even go...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] For example, the Chinese application document with the application number CN201610890669.1 discloses an antenna-based wireless AP energy-saving method and its device. In this technical solution, through "a wireless AP energy-saving method, the wireless AP and multiple terminal devices To establish a connection, the wireless AP energy-saving method includes: S10 real-time monitoring of the remaining power of the storage battery in the wireless AP; S20 adjusting the number of terminal devices connected to the wireless AP according to the remaining power of the storage battery to solve the problem of "the wireless AP in the prior art Excessive power consumption”, but there are defects in this technical solution, such as “if the current remaining power of the battery is greater than or equal to the power threshold E1, set the maximum number of connections of the terminal equipment connected to the wireless AP to N1, the maximum connection The number N1 is specifically the maximum number of user connections of the wireless AP, such as 256, that is, the terminal device is not disassociated at this time

If the current remaining power of the battery is less than the power threshold E1, set the maximum connection number of terminal equipment connected to the wireless AP to N2. At this time, if the maximum association number N2 is less than the current connection number N, the (N-N2) number of connections should be released. Terminal equipment", when the power is judged to be low, the wireless AP will reduce the number of connected terminal equipment and automatically release the terminal equipment that needs to be removed. In this way, if the terminal equipment connected to the wireless AP is not suitable for disconnection If not, it will lead to more serious consequences, and even affect the original smooth life or work, such as the computer that runs important work content and files in the company. Secondly, this technical solution realizes the energy-saving function after the power becomes low. , but did not implement the energy-saving function for the case of high power but low load. For example, even if the power of the wireless AP is sufficient, but there are few or no terminals connected to the AP at the moment, it is necessary to enter the energy-saving mode to reduce power consumption. When the load is gradually connected to the AP, it will enter the normal mode from the energy-saving mode to meet the daily needs
