Method and device for accessing terminal to wireless network

Abstract

The application provides a method for accessing a terminal to a wireless network, characterized in that the method includes the following steps: after receiving a wireless network access request sentby a terminal, determining whether the terminal has passed an access authentication of the wireless network by querying local access authentication information; in the case that the terminal has passed the access authentication, accessing the terminal to the wireless network; in the case that the terminal fails to pass the access authentication or does not perform the access authentication, notifying the terminal to perform the access authentication; receiving an access authentication result of the terminal delivered by a wireless access point controller; updating the local access authentication information according to the received access authentication result; and in the case that the received access authentication result is that the authentication is passed, accessing the terminal to the wireless network. The scheme of the application performs query locally through wireless access points, and can improve the efficiency of switching a wireless terminal among different wireless accesspoints.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the field of communication technologies, and in particular to a method and device for a terminal to access a wireless network. Background technique [0002] Today's wireless networks are widely used, and many public places have achieved full coverage of wireless networks. When wireless terminals access these wireless networks, they may need to perform access authentication. For example, in order to push advertisements to users and obtain users' basic Information, when users use mobile phones, tablet computers and other terminals to access the wireless network provided by the mall, users may be required to enter their mobile phone number and verification code, or perform access authentication through WeChat and other methods. When a wireless network needs to cover a large space, due to the limited coverage of a single AP (Wireless Access Point, wireless access point), it is often necessary to deploy different APs at di...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, it takes a certain amount of time for the AC to query the authentication server whether the terminal has passed the authentication, and it will be affected by the network status. Before the AP receives the query result, the terminal will not be able to access the wireless network, thus affecting the communication between different APs. The efficiency of handover between users results in poor network roaming experience for users
