[0084] S51, when at least one third performance parameter in the plurality of third performance parameters does not include the data transmission rate, obtaining the current power of the relay device, and determining the sum of the plurality of third performance parameters based on the current power.

[0085] Specifically, when at least one third performance parameter in the plurality of third performance parameters does not include the data transmission rate, the network connection device cannot obtain the data transmission rate between the at least one first client corresponding to the at least one third performance parameter in the plurality of first clients and the relay device from the relay device.
