[0002] With the rapid development of information technology and smart terminals, as well as the improvement of users' family living standards, WiFi devices are becoming more and more popular in people's daily lives, and the number of home gateways and routers that support the EasyMesh function is increasing.

[0003] One of the core functions of Easymesh is that it can synchronize the configuration of agent devices through the controller device in the Easymesh network. Currently, the configuration synchronization in the standard protocol only involves limited configurations such as WiFi SSID, password, encryption method, encryption algorithm, etc. With the popularization of smart terminals that support Easymesh, there needs to be a method to enable the controller to synchronize more configurations with the agent, and have good interoperability and scalability.

[0004] In the existing technology, although all the devices on the market claim to support the EasyMesh protocol, except for the basic configuration mentioned above, the rest of the configurations are implemented through the private protocols of each manufacturer, which is not convenient for intercommunication and expansion between different manufacturers. In addition, during the configuration synchronization process, multiple interactions of messages may cause timing problems, resulting in abnormal device functions. Summary of the invention

[0040] Figure 3 It is a schematic diagram of the structure of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0041] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, a fast configuration synchronization transmission method based on easymesh network, the method comprising:

[0043] S101, when the controller device in the easymesh network modifies the configuration, it marks the TR181 information node that needs to be synchronized, and encapsulates the TR181 configuration information that needs to be synchronized into the extended Higher Layer Data Sync Notification1905 message;

[0044] S102: The controller device sends the encapsulated Higher Layer Data Sync Notification 1905 message to the agent device in the network for synchronization configuration.

[0045] The specific implementation is as follows:

[0046] Based on Chapter 16 of the easymesh protocol, the 1905 message specified in the extended protocol is used to encapsulate the configuration that needs to be synchronized. This chapter describes the mechanism of transmitting high-level protocols through the 1905 message payload, and the TR181 data objects can be accessed and operated between the controller and the agent through the Higher Layer Datamessage. Set the 1905 device to respond to the 1905ACK message within 1 second after receiving the 1905 message.

[0047] The data model that needs to be synchronized and configured is described based on the TR181 protocol. TR181 is a series of technical specifications developed by the Broadband Forum, and its full name is "Device Data Model for CWMP Endpoints and USP Agents". It defines the device data model for CWMP (CPE WAN Management Protocol) terminals and USP (Universal Service Platform) agents. This standardized data model is used to provide remote management and configuration for broadband network devices.

[0048] The definition of the Higher Layer Data Sync Notification message extended by the easymesh standard protocol is shown in Table 1:

[0049] Table 1

[0050]

[0051]

[0052] The definition of the Response message of the easymesh standard protocol extension Higher Layer Data Sync Report is shown in Table 2:

[0053] Table 2

[0054]

[0055] When encapsulating the EasyMesh protocol payload, multiple methods can be used to describe the device data model under TR181.

[0056] Use URL addressing;

[0057] That is, the configuration object is represented by a dotted string, including<ObjUrl,ParamName> , for example, Table 3:

[0058] Table 3

[0059]

[0060] Using Configuration Serial Number (CSN) addressing:

[0061] The configuration sequence number (CSN) uses a three-level addressing method CSN=<MOID,IID,PID> ,in:

[0062] MOID:Module Object Indentify means that the module object ID is used to address modules and objects within modules.

[0063] Depend on<MID,OID> Composition, MID stands for Module Identify module ID is used to address the module, OID stands for Object;

[0064] The Identify object is used to address the object;

[0065] IID: represents the instance number of Instance Identify multi-instance object. This parameter is invalid for non-multi-instance objects.

[0066] PID: stands for Param Identify parameter ID, which is used to address specific parameters;

[0067] For example, see Table 4:

[0068] Table 4

[0069]

[0070] In Table 4, MID, OID, IID and PID are all customized, and Value uses the value range in the TR181 specification.

[0071] Compared with the URL method, the advantage of using CSN is that the payload information volume is large. A message can carry more configuration information, and the corresponding TR181 object can be quickly matched during parsing without parsing the string for matching. When using CSN for inter-manufacturer intercommunication, the serial number value of the TR181 object must be agreed in advance.

[0072] The configuration sequence number CSN addressing method of the TR181 object is defined as shown in Table 5:

[0073] Table 5

[0074]

[0075] In Table 5, CSN, MID, OID, IID and PID are all customized, and the Value is in the range specified in the TR181 specification.

[0076] In the payload of the easymseh standard protocol extension Higher Layer Data Sync Notification message, a comma "," is used to distinguish between TR181 nodes and node values, and a semicolon ";" is used to distinguish between each parameter that needs to be synchronized. For example:

[0077] If the parameters to be synchronized are, the message payload encapsulation format is as follows:

[0078] URL method: {URL,"Value"; URL,"Value";...}

[0079] CSN method:

[0080] {MOID,IID,PIN,"value";MOID,IID,PIN,value;MOID,IID,PIN,"value";...}

[0081] For example, the parameters that need to be synchronized are: Device.WiFi.Radio.1.TransmitPower=80 and Device.WiFi.Radio.9.TransmitPower=60.

[0082] URL method:

[0083] {Device.WiFi.Radio.1.TransmitPower,"80";Device.WiFi.Radio.9.TransmitPower,"60";}

[0084] CSN mode: {0x0104,0X01,0X12,"80"; 0x0104,0X09,0X12,"60";}

[0085] like Figure 2 As shown, the EasyMesh network configuration synchronization process is as follows:

[0086] 1. When the controller device in the easymesh network modifies the configuration, it marks the TR181 nodes that need to be synchronized and notifies the controller process;

[0087] 2. After receiving the TR181 information, the controller process encapsulates the TR181 configuration to be synchronized into the extended Higher Layer Data Sync Notification 1905 message according to different encapsulation methods;

[0088] 3. The controller device sends the encapsulated Higher Layer Data Sync Notification 1905 message to the agent device in the network;

[0089] 4. The agent device responds with 1905ACK within 1 second after receiving the Higher Layer Data Sync Notification 1905 message;

[0090] 5. The agent device parses the TR181 configuration payload in the Higher Layer Data Sync Notification message in a corresponding manner and directly sends it down;

[0091] 6. After the agent device completes the delivery, it replies with a Higher Layer Data Sync Response message to the Controller device;

[0092] 7. After receiving the Higher Layer Data Sync Response, the controller device replies with 1905ACK to complete the synchronization process.
