[0003] When an electronic device detects that the received signal strength indication (RSSI) value of the wireless access point (AP) to which it is connected is lower than a preset threshold, it triggers a channel scan. After scanning all channels corresponding to the wireless access frequency band, the number of available APs in the current Wi-Fi environment can be determined, and then the network can be connected through APs with higher quality.

[0004] However, during the above process, the electronic device needs to scan all channels, which may cause long-term network anomalies or slow Internet access speeds. Summary of the invention

[0028] The network connection method, device, equipment and medium provided in the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings through specific embodiments and their application scenarios.

[0029] Figure 1 1 is a flow chart of a network connection method applied to a first electronic device provided in an embodiment of the present application. The network connection method applied to the first electronic device may include:

[0030] S101: When the signal strength of a first wireless signal is less than a first signal strength threshold, send first information to a first wireless access point, wherein the first wireless signal is a signal sent by the first wireless access point and received by the first electronic device, the first wireless access point is a wireless access point to which the first electronic device is connected, and the first information is used to request first channel information that meets a first condition;

[0031] S102: receiving first channel information sent by a first wireless access point in response to first information;

[0032] S103: Determine a second wireless access point according to the first channel information;

[0033] S104: Connect to a second wireless access point and connect to the Internet through the second wireless access point.

[0034] The specific implementation of the above steps will be described in detail below.

[0035] In an embodiment of the present application, when the signal strength of the first wireless signal sent by the first wireless access point connected to the first electronic device is less than the first signal strength threshold, the first electronic device sends a first message for requesting the first channel information that satisfies the first condition to the first wireless access point, receives the first channel information sent by the first wireless access point in response to the first message, and then determines the second wireless access point based on the first channel information, connects to the second wireless access point, and connects to the Internet through the second wireless access point. It is not necessary to scan all channels corresponding to the wireless access frequency band, and the wireless access point to be connected can be determined based on the channel corresponding to the first channel information that satisfies the first condition. Since the number of channels corresponding to the first channel information that satisfies the first condition is less than the total number of all channels corresponding to the wireless access frequency band, the channel scanning time can be reduced, thereby shortening the time of network abnormality and slow Internet access speed.

[0036] Exemplarily, wireless access frequency bands generally include 2.4 GHz band and 5 GHz band, wherein the 2.4 GHz band includes 14 channels, and the number of channels available for wireless Wi-Fi in the 5 GHz band varies in different countries, including 13 in China, 9 in the United States, and 4 in Japan.

[0037] There are three wireless access points in a public Wi-Fi network, namely, wireless access point A, wireless access point B, and wireless access point C. The first electronic device is currently connected to wireless access point B. When the first electronic device detects that the signal strength of the wireless signal sent to it by wireless access point B is less than a first signal strength threshold, the first electronic device sends first information for requesting first channel information that satisfies a first condition to wireless access point B; in response to the first information, wireless access point B sends first channel information to the first electronic device, wherein the number of channels corresponding to the first channel information sent by wireless access point B is less than the total number of all channels corresponding to the wireless access frequency band; after receiving the first channel information, the first electronic device determines a second wireless access point, and assuming that the determined second wireless access point is wireless access point C, connects to wireless access point C and connects to the network through wireless access point C.

[0038] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of the present application, the first electronic device first joins a channel in the channels corresponding to the first channel information and sends a probe (Probe request) frame. After the minimum channel time (MinChannelTime) has passed, if no probe response (Probe response) is received, it is considered that there is no wireless access point on the channel, and the next channel in the channel corresponding to the first channel information is scanned. Otherwise, the first electronic device continues to wait and receives the probe response returned by the wireless access point on this channel until the waiting time reaches the maximum channel time (MaxChannelTime), and then starts to scan the next channel in the channel corresponding to the first channel information. After scanning all channels corresponding to the first channel information, the number of available wireless access points corresponding to the channel corresponding to the first channel information can be calculated, and then a wireless access point with higher quality is selected.

[0039] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of the present application, the wireless access points in the public Wi-Fi network are managed and controlled by an access controller (AC), and the access controller can obtain the installation location of each wireless access point it manages, and then obtain the corresponding relationship between the installation location of each wireless access point and its basic service set identifier (BSSID). When the channel of a wireless access point changes, the wireless access point sends its changed channel information to the access controller, and at this time, the access controller can obtain the corresponding relationship between the channel information of the wireless access point and its BSSID. The access controller synchronizes the corresponding relationship between the installation location of each wireless access point and the BSSID and the corresponding relationship between the channel information of each wireless access point and the BSSID to each wireless access point it manages, and at this time, each wireless access point can obtain the corresponding relationship between the installation location of each wireless access point and the BSSID and the corresponding relationship between the channel information of each wireless access point and the BSSID. Among them, BSSID usually refers to the network card address of the wireless access point, which is used to identify the wireless access point.

[0040] When the first electronic device detects that the signal strength of the signal sent to it by the first wireless access point connected to it is less than the first signal strength threshold, the first electronic device sends the first information for requesting the first channel information that satisfies the first condition to the first wireless access point; after receiving the first information, the first wireless access point determines the distance between each wireless access point and the first wireless access point according to the installation position of the wireless access point, and then determines the wireless access point whose distance to the first wireless access point is less than the first distance threshold as the wireless access point to be accessed by the first electronic device, and then determines the channel information of the channel to which the wireless access point to be accessed by the first electronic device is located according to the corresponding relationship between the installation position of the wireless access point and the BSSID and the corresponding relationship between the channel information of the wireless access point and the BSSID.

[0041] Based on the above, the first channel information satisfying the first condition in S101 includes: channel information of a channel where a third wireless access point is located, wherein the third wireless access point is a wireless access point whose distance from the first electronic device is less than a first distance threshold.

[0042] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of the present application, S103 may include: determining a wireless access point that satisfies a second condition among the wireless access access points corresponding to the first channel information as a second wireless access access point, wherein the wireless access access point that satisfies the second condition is a wireless access access point that provides a wireless signal with the strongest signal strength to the first electronic device.

[0043] Exemplarily, there are 5 wireless access points in a public Wi-Fi network, and the 5 wireless access points are wireless access point A, wireless access point B, wireless access point C, wireless access point D, and wireless access point E. The first electronic device is currently connected to wireless access point B. When the first electronic device detects that the signal strength of the wireless signal sent to it by wireless access point B is less than a first signal strength threshold, the first electronic device sends first information for requesting channel information that meets the first condition to wireless access point B; wireless access point B sends channel information to the first electronic device in response to the first information; it is assumed that the channel information sent by wireless access point B is information about two channels in the 2.4 GHz frequency band and information about one channel in the 5 GHz frequency band, wherein one of the two channels in the 2.4 GHz frequency band corresponds to wireless access point C, and the other of the two channels in the 2.4 GHz frequency band corresponds to wireless access point C. Access point D, a channel in the 5 GHz frequency band corresponds to wireless access point E, and the signal strength of the wireless signal provided by the wireless access point C to the first electronic device is greater than the signal strength of the wireless signal provided by the wireless access point E to the first electronic device, the signal strength of the wireless signal provided by the wireless access point E to the first electronic device is greater than the signal strength of the wireless signal provided by the wireless access point D to the first electronic device, and the signal strength of the wireless signal provided by the wireless access point C to the first electronic device is the strongest, then the wireless access point C is determined as the second wireless access point, the wireless access point C is connected, and the network is connected through the wireless access point C.

[0044] It should be noted that, although the channel information fed back by the wireless access point B includes a channel in the 5 GHz frequency band, the first electronic device does not connect to the wireless access point that uses a channel in the 5 GHz frequency band. The reason may be that there is an obstacle between the wireless access point and the first electronic device, so that the signal strength of the wireless signal received by the first electronic device from the wireless access point is weak.

[0045] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of the present application, the first information may be sent or the first channel information may be received via a first management frame of the wireless local area network standard, wherein the first management frame is an unused management frame in the management frame of the wireless local area network standard.

[0046] The MAC header of all management frames in the universal wireless LAN standard IEEE 802.11 is the same, regardless of the subtype of the frame. Management frames use information elements (data blocks with digital tags) to exchange data with other systems. Information elements are components of management frames and have variable lengths. Information elements usually contain an element ID bit and two length bits, one of which is a fixed length bit and the other is a variable length bit.

[0047] Exemplarily, according to the 802.11 protocol, management frames with element identification codes 43-49 in the management frame are not used, the first information can be sent through the management frame with element identification code 44, and the first channel information can be received through the management frame with element identification code 45.

[0048] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of the present application, the management frame with the element identification code number 44 may be referred to as a channel query (Channel Request) frame, and the management frame with the element identification code number 45 may be referred to as a channel response (Channel Response) frame.

[0049] Since the channel query frame is used to request the first channel information that meets the first condition, it can be represented by the element identification code of its information element. Therefore, the channel query frame does not need to carry other information, and the value of the fixed length bit in the information element of the channel query frame is 0. The format of the information element corresponding to the channel query frame is as follows: Figure 2 shown.

[0050] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of the present application, it may be specified that the channel response frame supports feedback of channel information of up to 8 channels, the fixed-length bits in the information elements of the channel response frame are 8, and the indefinite-length bits in the information elements of the channel response frame are the channel information of the 8 channels. When the first wireless access point determines that there are less than 8 channels, the indefinite-length bits in the information elements of the channel response frame are the channel information of these channels. In some possible implementations of the embodiments of the present application, when the first wireless access point determines that there are more than 8 channels, the above-mentioned 8 channels may be the channels of the 8 wireless access points that are closest to the first wireless access point. The format of the information element corresponding to the channel response frame is as follows: Figure 3 shown.

[0051] In the embodiment of the present application, the sending and receiving of the first information and the first channel information can be achieved through an unused management frame in the management frame of the wireless local area network standard.

[0052] It should be noted that the network connection method provided in the embodiment of the present application can be executed by a network connection device or a control module in the network connection device for executing the network connection method. In the embodiment of the present application, the network connection device provided in the embodiment of the present application is described by taking the network connection method executed by the network connection device as an example.

It is not necessary to scan all channels corresponding to the wireless access frequency band, and the wireless access point to be connected can be determined based on the channel corresponding to the first channel information that satisfies the first condition. Since the number of channels corresponding to the first channel information that satisfies the first condition is less than the total number of all channels corresponding to the wireless access frequency band, the channel scanning time can be reduced, thereby shortening the time of network abnormality and slow Internet access speed.

[0059] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of the present application, the first channel information that satisfies the first condition includes: channel information of a channel where a third wireless access point is located, wherein the third wireless access point is a wireless access point whose distance from the first electronic device is less than a first distance threshold.

It is not necessary to scan all channels corresponding to the wireless access frequency band, and the wireless access point to be connected can be determined only according to the channel corresponding to the first channel information that satisfies the first condition. Since the number of channels corresponding to the first channel information that satisfies the first condition is less than the total number of all channels corresponding to the wireless access frequency band, the channel scanning time can be reduced, thereby shortening the time of network abnormality and slow Internet access speed.
