Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present application relate to, but are not limited to, the field of communication technology, and in particular, to a method and device for analyzing a received channel power indication value, and a computer-readable storage medium. Background Art

[0002] With the improvement of people's living standards and living conditions, the demand for wireless networks in families is becoming more and more popular, which in turn leads to new requirements for the coverage of Wi-Fi signals. In this case, wireless mesh networks (i.e., wireless mesh networks) came into being. Wireless mesh networks, also known as "multi-hop" networks, are a star-shaped dynamic self-organizing and self-configuring wireless network that uses wireless links to connect multiple APs (access points). Compared with traditional wireless LANs, the biggest feature of wireless mesh networks is that they connect APs in the backbone network wirelessly, which is one of the key technologies to solve the "last mile" problem.

[0003] In a wireless mesh network, roaming between different APs is usually involved, which requires the application of the wireless LAN standard IEEE 802.11k. One of the functions implemented by this standard is to improve roaming decisions, which involves the analysis of the parameter RCPI (Received Channel Power Indicator) related to the received signal strength. In actual applications, there are two algorithms for filling in and parsing the RCPI value, one is defined in the IEEE 802.11k specification, and the other is defined in a non-standard way. The two methods are very different and difficult to be compatible and identified. When the IEEE 802.11k specification is used to guide the terminal STA (Station) to measure the signal of other specific APs, the STAs of different manufacturers output RCPI values ​​based on the two incompatible methods mentioned above, which makes it difficult to identify and analyze the RCPI value, reduces the accuracy of the RCPI value analysis, and further reduces the accuracy of the terminal roaming decision. Summary of the invention

[0004] The following is a summary of the subject matter described in detail herein. This summary is not intended to limit the scope of the claims.

[0005] The embodiments of the present application provide a method, device, and computer-readable storage medium for parsing a received channel power indication value, which can improve the accuracy of RCPI value parsing.

[0009] Determine a corresponding analysis algorithm according to the numerical interval of the RCPI value;

[0010] The RCPI value is parsed using the determined parsing algorithm.

[0011] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present application further provides a device, comprising a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the processor executes the RCPI value parsing method of the first aspect through the computer program.

[0012] In a third aspect, an embodiment of the present application further provides a computer-readable storage medium storing computer-executable instructions, wherein the computer-executable instructions are used to execute the RCPI value parsing method of the first aspect.

The solution provided by the embodiment of the present application makes full use of the non-overlapping blind areas, or unreasonable intervals, of the two current analysis algorithms. Based on the either-or elimination method, the appropriate analysis algorithm can be determined using the numerical interval in which the obtained RCPI value is located, thereby improving the accuracy of RCPI numerical analysis.

[0021] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present application more clearly understood, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0022] It should be noted that, although the functional modules are divided in the device schematic diagram and the logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be performed in a different order than the module division in the device or the order in the flowchart. The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification, claims and the above drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0023] The embodiment of the present application provides a method, device, and computer-readable storage medium for parsing RCPI values. The solution provided by the embodiment of the present application makes full use of the non-overlapping blind areas, or unreasonable intervals, of the two current parsing algorithms. Based on the elimination method of either this or that, the appropriate parsing algorithm can be determined by using the numerical interval in which the obtained RCPI value is located, so that the RCPI values ​​output based on two different definitions can be compatible for parsing, thereby improving the accuracy of RCPI value parsing, thereby improving the support capability for various terminal roaming decisions and improving the accuracy of roaming decisions.

[0024] The embodiments of the present application are further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a network topology for executing a method for parsing RCPI values ​​provided by an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 In the example, the network topology includes a controller AP (Controller AP), multiple agent APs (Agent APs) (for simplicity of description, Figure 1Only two proxy APs, i.e., Proxy AP1 and Proxy AP2, and a terminal STA are shown, such as mobile phones or computer terminals of various manufacturers that support the IEEE 802.11k specification. When this network topology executes the RCPI value parsing method of the embodiment of the present application, the controller AP sends a measurement request (e.g., a measurement request frame, or a data frame encapsulating the measurement request information) to request measurement of the connection signal strength to the STA to be measured. The STA obtains the RCPI value of the AP signal and generates a measurement report (e.g., a measurement report frame or a data frame encapsulating the measurement report), and then sends the measurement report back to the controller AP for the next step of parsing. In addition, in this network topology, AP nodes such as Agent AP1 and Agent AP2 will periodically send beacon frames to let the STA know the existence of the network, so as to adjust the parameters necessary to join the network. Mobile nodes such as STAs will also send probe request frames to scan which APs are available in the area. After receiving the probe request frame, the AP node will return a probe response frame. The content of the probe response frame is almost the same as the beacon frame. Then, using some information in the probe response frame, the AP node will continue to initiate the access process.

[0026] The network topology and application scenarios described in the embodiments of the present application are intended to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, and do not constitute a limitation on the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present application. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that with the evolution of network topology and the emergence of new application scenarios, the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present application are equally applicable to similar technical problems.

[0027] It can be understood by those skilled in the art that Figure 1 The various components and topological structures shown in the figure do not constitute a limitation on the embodiments of the present application, and may include more or fewer components than shown in the figure, or combine certain components, or arrange the components differently.

[0028] Based on the above network topology, various embodiments of the method for parsing the RCPI value of the present application are proposed.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 It is a flowchart of the method for parsing RCPI values ​​provided in Example 1 of the present application. The method for parsing RCPI values ​​includes but is not limited to step S101, step S102, step S103 and step S104.

[0031] Step S101: sending a measurement request for measuring connection signal strength to a terminal.

[0032] In one embodiment, the terminal includes STAs of various manufacturers that support the IEEE 802.11k specification, such as mobile phones or computer terminals that support the IEEE 802.11k specification.

[0033] In one embodiment, the measurement request is a measurement request frame, or a data frame encapsulating the measurement request.

[0034] Step S102: receiving a measurement report sent by the terminal based on the measurement request, where the measurement report carries an RCPI value.

[0035] In one embodiment, the measurement report is a measurement report frame, or a data frame encapsulating the measurement report.

[0036] Step S103, determining a corresponding analysis algorithm according to the numerical interval of the RCPI value.

[0037] In one embodiment, the parsing algorithm includes:

[0038] (1) Standard parsing algorithm:

[0039] RSSI = (RCPI / 2) - 110;

[0040] Among them, RSSI is the received signal strength indication.

[0041] (2) Non-standard parsing algorithm:

[0042] RSSI = RCPI-256;

[0043] Among them, RSSI is the received signal strength indication.

[0044] It should be understood that the above-mentioned standard parsing algorithm and non-standard parsing algorithm are also applicable to all embodiments described subsequently.

[0045] Under normal circumstances, the RSSI value of the measured wireless signal is negative, and is 0dBm only in one case, which is the result of experimental measurement under ideal conditions. 0dBm means that the receiver receives all the wireless signals transmitted by the transmitter, that is, the receiving wireless network card obtains the same power as the wireless AP transmits, which is impossible to achieve in practice. According to the above algorithm, when the RCPI value received by the AP is greater than or equal to 220, the RSSI value parsed by the standard parsing algorithm is greater than or equal to 0dBm. The signal strength is too strong and cannot be achieved in practice. Therefore, this is unreasonable. In this case, it can be determined that the terminal STA reporting the RCPI value is suitable for the non-standard parsing algorithm. When the RCPI value received by the AP is less than or equal to 156, the RSSI value parsed by the non-standard parsing algorithm is less than or equal to -100dBm. When the signal strength is so low, the terminal STA should usually have been disconnected, so it is unreasonable. In this case, it can be determined that the terminal STA reporting the RCPI value is suitable for the standard parsing algorithm. When the RCPI value received by the AP is greater than 156 and less than 220, it indicates that the terminal STA is not in the AP's identification area, and the default resolution algorithm is used for this resolution. When the terminal STA changes position and enters the AP's identification area, the appropriate resolution algorithm is determined based on the RCPI value re-reported by the terminal STA.

[0046] Step S104, parsing the RCPI value using a determined parsing algorithm.

[0047] The solution provided in the embodiment of the present application makes full use of the non-overlapping blind areas, or unreasonable intervals, of the two current parsing algorithms. Based on the either-or elimination method, the appropriate parsing algorithm can be determined by using the numerical interval in which the obtained RCPI value lies, thereby being compatible with parsing RCPI values ​​output based on two different definitions, thereby improving the accuracy of RCPI value parsing, and further improving the support capability for roaming decisions of various terminals and improving the accuracy of roaming decisions.

[0048] Example 2

[0049] like Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 It is a flowchart of the method for parsing RCPI values ​​provided in Example 2 of the present application. The method for parsing RCPI values ​​includes but is not limited to step S201, step S202, step S203 and step S204.

[0050] Step S201: Sending a measurement request for measuring connection signal strength to a terminal.

[0051] In one embodiment, the terminal includes STAs of various manufacturers that support the IEEE 802.11k specification, such as mobile phones or computer terminals that support the IEEE 802.11k specification.

[0052] In one embodiment, the measurement request is a measurement request frame, or a data frame encapsulating the measurement request.

[0053] Step S202: receiving a measurement report sent by the terminal based on the measurement request, where the measurement report carries an RCPI value.

[0054] In one embodiment, the measurement report is a measurement report frame, or a data frame encapsulating the measurement report.

[0055] Step S203: When the minimum value of the value interval in which the RCPI value is located is greater than the maximum value of the preset threshold interval, it is determined to adopt a non-standard parsing algorithm to parse the RCPI value.

[0056] In one embodiment, the preset threshold interval is (156, 220). Under normal circumstances, the RSSI values ​​of the measured wireless signals are all negative numbers, and are only 0dBm in one case, which is the result of experimental measurement under ideal conditions. 0dBm means that the receiver receives all the wireless signals transmitted by the transmitter, that is, the wireless AP transmits the same power as the receiving wireless network card, which is impossible to achieve in practice. When the RCPI value received by the AP is greater than or equal to 220, the RSSI value parsed using the standard parsing algorithm is greater than or equal to 0dBm, and the signal strength is too strong to be achieved in practice. Therefore, this is unreasonable. Then it can be determined that the terminal STA that reports the RCPI value is suitable for the non-standard parsing algorithm.

[0057] The above threshold interval is only an example of the present application and does not constitute a limitation on the protection scope of the present application. It should be understood that those skilled in the art can appropriately narrow the above preset threshold interval according to actual network conditions.

[0058] Step S204, parsing the RCPI value using a non-standard parsing algorithm.

[0059] The solution provided in the embodiment of the present application makes full use of the non-overlapping blind areas, or unreasonable intervals, of the two current parsing algorithms. Based on the either-or elimination method, the appropriate parsing algorithm can be determined by using the numerical interval in which the obtained RCPI value lies, thereby being compatible with parsing RCPI values ​​output based on two different definitions, thereby improving the accuracy of RCPI value parsing, and further improving the support capability for roaming decisions of various terminals and improving the accuracy of roaming decisions.

[0060] Additionally, refer again to Figure 3The method for analyzing the RCPI value in this embodiment may further include:

[0061] Step S205: Mark the terminal corresponding to the RCPI value with a non-standard resolution algorithm identifier, and save the terminal information of the terminal marked with a standard resolution algorithm identifier.

[0062] In one embodiment, the terminal information includes the MAC address of the terminal.

[0063] The embodiment of the present application marks the terminal so that in the subsequent RCPI value parsing process, a non-standard parsing algorithm can be directly applied to parse the RCPI value reported by the terminal according to the identifier corresponding to the saved terminal information, thereby improving the parsing efficiency of the RCPI value.

[0064] Example 3

[0065] like Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 It is a flowchart of the method for parsing RCPI values ​​provided in Example 3 of the present application. The method for parsing RCPI values ​​includes but is not limited to step S301, step S302, step S303 and step S304.

[0066] Step S301: Sending a measurement request for requesting to measure the connection signal strength to a terminal.

[0067] In one embodiment, the terminal includes STAs of various manufacturers that support the IEEE 802.11k specification, such as mobile phones or computer terminals that support the IEEE 802.11k specification.

[0068] In one embodiment, the measurement request is a measurement request frame, or a data frame encapsulating the measurement request.

[0069] Step S302: receiving a measurement report sent by the terminal based on the measurement request, where the measurement report carries an RCPI value.

[0070] In one embodiment, the measurement report is a measurement report frame, or a data frame encapsulating the measurement report.

[0071] Step S303: When the maximum value of the value interval in which the RCPI value is located is less than the minimum value of the preset threshold interval, it is determined to adopt the standard analysis algorithm to analyze the RCPI value.

[0072] In one embodiment, the preset threshold interval is (156, 220). Under normal circumstances, the RSSI values ​​of the measured wireless signals are all negative numbers, and the smaller the RSSI value, the weaker the signal strength. That is, the wireless AP transmits as much power as the receiving wireless network card obtains, which is impossible to achieve in practice. When the RCPI value received by the AP is less than or equal to 156, the RSSI value parsed using the non-standard parsing algorithm is less than or equal to -100dBm. When the signal strength is so low, the terminal STA should usually have been disconnected, so it is unreasonable. Then it can be determined that the terminal STA that reports the RCPI value is suitable for the standard parsing algorithm.

[0073] The above threshold interval is only an example of the present application and does not constitute a limitation on the protection scope of the present application. It should be understood that those skilled in the art can appropriately narrow the above preset threshold interval according to actual network conditions.

[0074] Step S304, parse the RCPI value using a standard parsing algorithm.

[0075] The solution provided in the embodiment of the present application makes full use of the non-overlapping blind areas, or unreasonable intervals, of the two current parsing algorithms. Based on the either-or elimination method, the appropriate parsing algorithm can be determined by using the numerical interval in which the obtained RCPI value lies, thereby being compatible with parsing RCPI values ​​output based on two different definitions, thereby improving the accuracy of RCPI value parsing, and further improving the support capability for roaming decisions of various terminals and improving the accuracy of roaming decisions.

[0076] Additionally, refer again to Figure 4 The method for analyzing the RCPI value in this embodiment may further include:

[0077] Step S305: Mark the terminal corresponding to the RCPI value with a standard resolution algorithm identifier, and save the terminal information of the terminal marked with the standard resolution algorithm identifier.

[0078] In one embodiment, the terminal information includes the MAC address of the terminal.

[0079] The embodiment of the present application marks the terminal so that in the subsequent RCPI value parsing process, the standard parsing algorithm can be directly applied to parse the RCPI value reported by the terminal according to the identifier corresponding to the saved terminal information, thereby improving the parsing efficiency of the RCPI value.

[0080] Example 4

[0081] like Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5It is a flowchart of the method for parsing RCPI values ​​provided in Example 4 of the present application. The method for parsing RCPI values ​​includes but is not limited to step S401, step S402, step S403 and step S404.

[0082] Step S401: Sending a measurement request for requesting to measure the connection signal strength to a terminal.

[0083] In one embodiment, the terminal includes STAs of various manufacturers that support the IEEE 802.11k specification, such as mobile phones or computer terminals that support the IEEE 802.11k specification.

[0084] In one embodiment, the measurement request is a measurement request frame, or a data frame encapsulating the measurement request.

[0085] Step S402: receiving a measurement report sent by the terminal based on the measurement request, where the measurement report carries an RCPI value.

[0086] In one embodiment, the measurement report is a measurement report frame, or a data frame encapsulating the measurement report.

[0087] Step S403: When the value interval of the RCPI value is within the preset threshold interval, it is determined whether to use a non-standard analysis algorithm or a standard analysis algorithm to analyze the RCPI value.

[0088] In one embodiment, the preset threshold interval is (156, 220). When the RCPI value received by the AP is greater than 156 and less than 220, it indicates that the terminal STA is not in the identification area of ​​the AP. The default resolution algorithm is used for the current resolution. Both algorithms can be used as the default resolution algorithm. When the terminal STA changes position and enters the identification area of ​​the AP, the appropriate resolution algorithm is determined according to the RCPI value re-reported by the terminal STA.

[0089] The above threshold interval is only an example of the present application and does not constitute a limitation on the protection scope of the present application. It should be understood that those skilled in the art can appropriately narrow the above preset threshold interval according to actual network conditions.

[0090] Step S404, parse the RCPI value using a non-standard parsing algorithm or a standard parsing algorithm.

[0091] In one embodiment, a non-standard parsing algorithm is generally used. On the one hand, manufacturers using non-standard parsing algorithms are more common. On the other hand, terminals using standard parsing algorithms are easier to identify and mark, so if a marking error occurs, it is easier to correct it.

[0092] The solution provided in the embodiment of the present application makes full use of the non-overlapping blind areas, or unreasonable intervals, of the two current parsing algorithms. Based on the either-or elimination method, the appropriate parsing algorithm can be determined by using the numerical interval in which the obtained RCPI value lies, thereby being compatible with parsing RCPI values ​​output based on two different definitions, thereby improving the accuracy of RCPI value parsing, and further improving the support capability for roaming decisions of various terminals and improving the accuracy of roaming decisions.

[0093] In addition, an embodiment of the present application provides a device, which may be an AP device, and includes: a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor.

[0094] The processor and the memory may be connected via a bus or other means.

Examples of the above-mentioned network include, but are not limited to, the Internet, an intranet, a local area network, a mobile communication network, and combinations thereof.

[0096] It should be noted that the device in this embodiment can be applied to Figure 1 The network topology in the embodiment shown is as follows Figure 1 The controller AP in the embodiment shown, the device in this embodiment and the Figure 1 The controller AP in the illustrated embodiments belongs to the same inventive concept, and therefore these embodiments have the same implementation principles and technical effects, which will not be described in detail here.

Some or all of the modules may be selected according to actual needs to achieve the purpose of the solution of this embodiment.

Such software may be distributed on a computer-readable medium, which may include a computer storage medium (or a non-transitory medium) and a communication medium (or a temporary medium). As known to those skilled in the art, the term computer storage medium includes volatile and non-volatile, removable and non-removable media implemented in any method or technology for storing information (such as computer-readable instructions, data structures, program modules or other data).
