[0045] Next, the embodiments of the present application are described in detail.

[0046] The embodiment of the present application provides a method for setting a roaming threshold, which is applied to a network device that enables a roaming threshold setting function, such as Figure 1 As shown, the method may include the following steps:

[0047] S11 . After determining that the target AP is online, obtain the signal strength of the target AP detected by the neighbor AP of the target AP and reported by the neighbor AP of the target AP.

[0048] S12, determining whether there is a target AP among multiple APs deployed in pre-deployed multiple location scenarios; if the determination result is yes, executing step S13; if the determination result is no, executing step S14.

[0049] S13. Determine the roaming threshold that the target AP needs to use based on the target AP's transmission power, the acquired maximum signal strength of the target AP, the preset signal strength, and the roaming threshold baseline table corresponding to the location scenario of the target AP acquired locally, and send the determined roaming threshold to the target AP.

[0050] S14: Determine the roaming threshold that the target AP needs to use according to the transmit power, the maximum signal strength, the preset signal strength, and the roaming threshold baseline table corresponding to the common scene acquired locally, and send the determined roaming threshold to the target AP.

[0051] It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the roaming threshold baseline table corresponding to each location scenario and common scenario includes each transmit power supported by the target AP and its corresponding roaming threshold.

[0052] Furthermore, when the network device enabled with the roaming threshold setting function is an AC, the target AP is a Fit AP.

[0053] Alternatively, when the network device enabled with the roaming threshold setting function is a cloud platform, the target AP is a fat AP.

[0054] When the network device with the roaming threshold setting function enabled is an AC, you can obtain the signal strength of the target AP detected by the neighbor APs of the target AP as reported by the neighbor APs in the following ways:

[0055] Receive the signal strength of the target AP reported by other APs that detect the target AP.

[0056] In the case where the network device enabled with the roaming threshold setting function is a cloud platform, when an online message indicating that the target AP is online and reported by an AC to which the target AP accesses is received, it is determined that the target AP is online.

[0057] Furthermore, in this case, the network device enabled with the roaming threshold setting function can obtain the signal strength of the target AP detected by the neighbor AP reported by the neighbor AP of the target AP in the following manner:

[0058] Receive the signal strength of the target AP reported by other APs that have detected the target AP and reported by the AC.

[0059] Here, no matter which acquisition method is used, other APs can be understood as neighboring APs of the target AP, and the signal strength of the target AP reported by other APs is the signal strength measured by other APs when receiving the detection message broadcast by the target AP.

[0060] It should be further noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the roaming threshold baseline table corresponding to each location scenario is generated in the following manner:

[0061] For each location scenario, under the sampling environment corresponding to the location scenario, for each transmit power supported by the first sampling AP, obtain the signal strength of the sampled wireless terminal located at the midline position between the first sampling AP and the second sampling AP when the first sampling AP works based on the transmit power, and determine the obtained signal strength as the roaming threshold corresponding to the transmit power, wherein all transmit powers supported by the first sampling AP are the same as all transmit powers supported by the target AP, and the signal strength of the first sampling AP detected by the second sampling AP is a preset signal strength;

[0062] A baseline table including each transmit power and its corresponding roaming threshold is generated, and used as a roaming threshold baseline table corresponding to the location scenario.

[0063] In addition, the roaming threshold baseline table corresponding to the common scenario is generated in the following way:

[0064] Calculate the average value of the roaming thresholds corresponding to the same transmit power in the roaming threshold baseline table corresponding to all location scenarios generated by itself, and use the calculated average value as the new roaming threshold corresponding to the same transmit power, wherein the transmit powers included in all roaming threshold baseline tables are the same;

[0065] A baseline table including all transmit powers and their corresponding new roaming thresholds is generated, and used as a roaming threshold baseline table corresponding to a common scenario.

[0066] Here, the preset signal strength may be a better signal strength within the wireless coverage range of a single AP, for example, the preset signal strength may be -65 dBm.

[0067] It should be noted that for the same transmission power, in different location scenarios, the signal strength of the relevant sampled wireless terminal obtained by the network device with the roaming threshold setting function enabled may be different.

[0068] These location scenarios may include a designated stadium, a designated office area, a designated factory workshop, and so on.

[0069] For example, when the location scenario is a target stadium, assuming that the network device that enables the roaming threshold setting function is AC, assuming that the power range of the transmission power supported by the first sampling AP is 1 to 30 dBm, and assuming that the preset signal strength is -65 dBm, then the roaming threshold baseline table corresponding to the target stadium generated by AC can be shown in Table 1 below.

[0070]

[0071] Table 1

[0072] Specifically, in the above step S12, the network device with the roaming threshold setting function enabled may determine the roaming threshold to be used by the target AP in the following manner:

[0073] If the maximum signal strength is greater than the preset signal strength, the difference between the maximum signal strength and the preset signal strength is calculated, and the transmit power and the calculated difference are subtracted to obtain a first operation result. The roaming threshold corresponding to the first operation result is searched in the roaming threshold baseline table corresponding to the location scenario of the target AP, and the found roaming threshold is determined as the roaming threshold to be used by the target AP;

[0074] If the maximum signal strength is less than the preset signal strength, the difference between the preset signal strength and the maximum signal strength is calculated, the transmit power and the calculated difference are added to obtain a second calculation result, and the roaming threshold corresponding to the second calculation result is searched in the roaming threshold baseline table corresponding to the location scenario of the target AP, and the found roaming threshold is determined as the roaming threshold that the target AP needs to use.

[0075] For example, assume that the network device enabled with the roaming threshold setting function is AC, assume that the location scenario of the target AP is the above-mentioned target stadium, assume that the transmission power of the target AP is 20dBm, and if the maximum signal strength obtained by AC is -65dBm, then AC directly determines the roaming threshold corresponding to 20dBm in Table 1 as the roaming threshold that the target AP needs to use.

[0076] If the maximum signal strength obtained by the AC is -60dBm), that is, greater than the preset signal strength, in this case, the AC first calculates the difference between the maximum signal strength obtained and the preset signal strength; then subtracts the transmit power from the calculated difference to obtain the calculation result (that is, 15dBm), and searches for the roaming threshold corresponding to 15dBm in the roaming threshold baseline table corresponding to the target stadium, and determines the roaming threshold corresponding to 15dBm as the roaming threshold that the target AP needs to use.

[0077] Specifically, in the above step S13, the network device with the roaming threshold setting function enabled may determine the roaming threshold to be used by the target AP in the following manner:

[0078] If the maximum signal strength is the preset signal strength, the roaming threshold corresponding to the transmit power is searched in the roaming threshold baseline table corresponding to the common scenario, and the found roaming threshold is determined as the roaming threshold to be used by the target AP;

[0079] If the maximum signal strength is greater than the preset signal strength, the difference between the maximum signal strength and the preset signal strength is calculated, and the transmit power and the calculated difference are subtracted to obtain a third operation result. In the roaming threshold baseline table corresponding to the common scenario, the roaming threshold corresponding to the third operation result is searched, and the found roaming threshold is determined as the roaming threshold to be used by the target AP;

[0080] If the maximum signal strength is less than the preset signal strength, the difference between the preset signal strength and the maximum signal strength is calculated, the transmit power and the calculated difference are added to obtain a fourth operation result, and the roaming threshold corresponding to the fourth operation result is searched in the roaming threshold baseline table corresponding to the normal scenario, and the found roaming threshold is determined as the roaming threshold that the target AP needs to use.

[0081] The embodiment of the present application also provides a method for setting a roaming threshold, which is applied to a cloud AP, such as Figure 2 As shown, the method may include the following steps:

[0082] S21. After power-on, obtain the signal strength of the neighbor AP detected by itself reported by its neighbor AP.

[0083] S22. If the location scenario in which the device is located is configured locally, the roaming threshold to be used is set according to the device's own transmit power, the maximum signal strength obtained, the preset signal strength and the roaming threshold baseline table corresponding to the location scenario in which the device is located obtained locally.

[0084] S23. If the location scenario of the local device is not configured locally, the roaming threshold to be used is set according to the transmit power, maximum signal strength, preset signal strength and the roaming threshold baseline table corresponding to the common scenario obtained locally.

[0085] It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, the roaming threshold baseline table corresponding to the location scenario and the common scenario includes each transmission power supported by itself and its corresponding roaming threshold.

[0086] It should be further explained that the roaming threshold baseline table corresponding to the location scenario of the cloud AP and the common scenario can be generated by the above-mentioned network device with the roaming threshold setting function enabled, and configured by the administrator on the cloud AP side.

[0087] Specifically, in the above step S22, the cloud AP can set the roaming threshold to be used by itself in the following manner:

[0088] If the maximum signal strength is the preset signal strength, the roaming threshold corresponding to the transmit power is searched in the roaming threshold baseline table corresponding to the location scenario where the roaming threshold is located, and the found roaming threshold is set as the roaming threshold to be used by the roaming threshold;

[0089] If the maximum signal strength is greater than the preset signal strength, the difference between the maximum signal strength and the preset signal strength is calculated, and the transmit power and the calculated difference are subtracted to obtain a first operation result. The roaming threshold corresponding to the first operation result is searched in the roaming threshold baseline table corresponding to the location scenario where the mobile station is located, and the searched roaming threshold is set as the roaming threshold to be used by the mobile station.

[0090] If the maximum signal strength is less than the preset signal strength, the difference between the preset signal strength and the maximum signal strength is calculated, the transmit power and the calculated difference are added to obtain a second calculation result, and the roaming threshold corresponding to the second calculation result is searched in the roaming threshold baseline table corresponding to the location scenario where the AP is located, and the found roaming threshold is determined as the roaming threshold that the target AP needs to use.

[0091] Specifically, in the above step S23, the cloud AP can set the roaming threshold to be used by itself in the following manner:

[0092] If the maximum signal strength is the preset signal strength, the roaming threshold corresponding to the transmit power is searched in the roaming threshold baseline table corresponding to the common scenario, and the found roaming threshold is set as the roaming threshold to be used by the user.

[0093] If the maximum signal strength is greater than the preset signal strength, the difference between the maximum signal strength and the preset signal strength is calculated, and the transmit power and the calculated difference are subtracted to obtain a third operation result. In the roaming threshold baseline table corresponding to the common scenario, the roaming threshold corresponding to the third operation result is searched, and the searched roaming threshold is set as the roaming threshold to be used by the user.

[0094] If the maximum signal strength is less than the preset signal strength, the difference between the preset signal strength and the maximum signal strength is calculated, the transmit power and the calculated difference are added to obtain a fourth operation result, and the roaming threshold corresponding to the fourth operation result is searched in the roaming threshold baseline table corresponding to the normal scenario, and the found roaming threshold is determined as the roaming threshold that the target AP needs to use.

[0095] It can be seen from the above technical solutions that in the embodiment of the present application, the network device with the roaming threshold setting function enabled can determine the roaming threshold that the target AP needs to use based on the transmit power of the online target AP, the maximum signal strength of the signal strength of the target AP detected by the neighbor AP reported by the neighbor AP of the target AP, and the relevant roaming threshold baseline table; or, the cloud AP can set the roaming threshold that the target AP needs to use based on its own transmit power, the maximum signal strength of the signal strength detected by the neighbor AP reported by the neighbor AP, and the relevant roaming threshold baseline table. In this way, the experience value is no longer used, and the wireless terminal can be guided to roam in a timely manner, thereby improving the roaming experience of the wireless terminal.

[0113] If the maximum signal strength is greater than the preset signal strength, the difference between the maximum signal strength and the preset signal strength is calculated, the transmit power and the calculated difference are subtracted to obtain a first calculation result, the roaming threshold corresponding to the first calculation result is searched in the roaming threshold baseline table corresponding to the location scenario of the target AP, and the found roaming threshold is determined as the roaming threshold to be used by the target AP;

[0114] If the maximum signal strength is less than the preset signal strength, the difference between the preset signal strength and the maximum signal strength is calculated, the transmit power and the calculated difference are added to obtain a second calculation result, and the roaming threshold corresponding to the second calculation result is searched in the roaming threshold baseline table corresponding to the location scenario of the target AP, and the found roaming threshold is determined as the roaming threshold that the target AP needs to use.

[0117] If the maximum signal strength is greater than the preset signal strength, a difference between the maximum signal strength and the preset signal strength is calculated, and a subtraction operation is performed on the transmit power and the calculated difference to obtain a third operation result, and a roaming threshold corresponding to the third operation result is searched in a roaming threshold baseline table corresponding to a common scenario, and the found roaming threshold is determined as the roaming threshold to be used by the target AP;

[0118] If the maximum signal strength is less than the preset signal strength, the difference between the preset signal strength and the maximum signal strength is calculated, the transmit power and the calculated difference are added to obtain a fourth operation result, and the roaming threshold corresponding to the fourth operation result is searched in the roaming threshold baseline table corresponding to the normal scenario, and the found roaming threshold is determined as the roaming threshold that the target AP needs to use.

[0119] The present application also provides a roaming threshold setting device, which is applied to a cloud AP, and its structural diagram is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, specifically including:

[0120] An acquisition module 41 is used to acquire, after the cloud AP is powered on, a signal strength of the cloud AP detected by the neighbor AP reported by the neighbor AP of the cloud AP;
