[0026] Due to the structural limitations of existing wall-mounted smart devices, such as switches and sockets, antenna clearance is usually not fully guaranteed. In addition, the impact on radiation performance after entering the wall can easily lead to poor communication quality of wall-mounted smart devices and frequent disconnection problems.

[0027] In order to solve the above technical problems, this embodiment provides a network adaptive configuration method, which is applied to Figure 1 The communication network 1 shown includes at least one wall-mounted smart device 11 and at least one wireless access point 12 .

[0028] In this embodiment, the wall-mounted smart device 11 may be an electronic device with a wireless communication function, such as a switch panel, a socket, etc.

[0029] In practical applications, the communication network 1 is set in a space. If the space may include multiple subspaces, the space usually has the following subspaces: Figure 2 Case 1 and Figure 3 Case 2 shown:

[0030] Case 1: There is only one wireless access point 12 in multiple subspaces, and each subspace is provided with at least one in-wall smart device 11.

[0031] Case 2: There are multiple wireless access points 12 in multiple subspaces. Therefore, when there are multiple wireless access points AP, in order to ensure the stability of the communication connection, the wall-mounted smart device 11 in each subspace will select a wireless access point 11 with the best transmission path to communicate with it.

[0032] Based on the above description, the network adaptive configuration method provided by the embodiment of the present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0033] See also Figure 4 , Figure 4 FIG. 1 is a flow chart showing a method for network adaptive configuration according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 As shown, the network adaptive configuration method includes the following steps:

[0034] S41, when the wall-mounted smart device is in a communication connection state with one of the wireless access points, determining whether at least one confirmation signal is received within a preset time interval, if so, proceeding to S42. If not, proceeding to S43.

[0035] S42, when at least one confirmation signal is received within a preset time interval, it indicates that the communication status between the in-wall smart device and the wireless access point is good, and the current network transmission rate continues to be maintained.

[0036] S43, adaptively adjusting the network transmission rate according to the current wireless signal strength of the wireless access point. The confirmation signal is used by the wireless access point to inform the wall-mounted smart device connected to it that it has successfully and correctly received the data frame. The above network adaptive configuration method can improve the communication quality of the wall-mounted smart device after entering the wall while adapting to different home security environments.

[0037] See also Figure 5 , Figure 5 A schematic flow chart of a network adaptive configuration method provided by another embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0038] like Figure 5 As shown, the network adaptive configuration method includes the following steps:

[0039] S51, the wall-mounted smart device is communicatively connected to one of the wireless access points.

[0040] In this embodiment, the wall-mounted smart device selects a wireless access point 11 with the best transmission path to communicate with it.

[0041] S52, when the wall-mounted smart device is in a communication connection state with one of the wireless access points, determine whether at least one confirmation signal is received within a preset time interval, and if so, execute S53. If not, execute S54. In this embodiment, the confirmation signal is used by the wireless access point to inform the wall-mounted smart device in communication connection with it that it has successfully and correctly received the data frame.

[0042] In this embodiment, in order to further detect whether the wireless access point has successfully and correctly received the data frame, S52 includes determining whether two confirmation signals can be received continuously within the preset time interval.

[0043] S53, when at least one confirmation signal is received within a preset time interval, it indicates that the communication status between the in-wall smart device and the wireless access point is good, and the current network transmission rate continues to be maintained.

[0044] S54, retransmit the data frame to the wireless access point M times. If the wall-mounted smart device still does not receive at least one confirmation signal after the number of retransmissions reaches a predetermined number of retransmissions, for example, 3 times, then proceed to S55.

[0045] S55, within a preset wireless signal strength reading time period, read the wireless signal strength of the wireless access point N times (in this embodiment, the wireless signal strength is a received signal strength indicator (RSSI), which is a single-dimensional measurement used to indicate the signal strength of a wireless signal at a receiving end), calculate the average value of the wireless signal strength of the wireless access point N times, and use the average value as the current wireless signal strength of the wireless access point to obtain the current wireless signal strength of the wireless access point. In this embodiment, N is a positive integer greater than 1, for example, 6 times.

[0046] Since the wireless signal strengths of the N wireless access points read may fluctuate, affecting the calculation of the average value of the wireless signal strengths, in order to obtain accurate data, the step of calculating the average value of the signal strengths of the wireless access points N times in this embodiment includes: removing the maximum wireless signal strength and the minimum wireless signal strength from the wireless signal strengths of the wireless access points N times, calculating the average value of the wireless signal strengths of the wireless access points after removing the maximum wireless signal strength and the minimum wireless signal strength, and using the average value as the current wireless signal strength of the wireless access point to obtain the current wireless signal strength of the wireless access point.

[0047] S56: Adaptively adjust the network transmission rate according to the acquired current wireless signal strength of the wireless access point.

[0048] In order to improve the quality and stability of network transmission and optimize user experience, S56 in this embodiment specifically includes:

[0049] S561: Search for a wireless signal strength value interval corresponding to the current wireless signal strength of the wireless access point from a plurality of pre-stored wireless signal strength value intervals. The plurality of pre-stored wireless signal strength value intervals are arranged in descending order according to signal quality as follows: A <RSSI≤B,B<RSSI≤C,C<RSSI≤D,D<RSSI。

[0050] S562, select a network transmission rate associated with the wireless signal strength value interval. Each wireless signal strength value interval is associated with a matching network transmission rate. The relationship between the wireless signal strength value interval and the matching network transmission rate is shown in the following table:

[0051] A<RSSI≤B 36Mbps B<RSSI≤C 11Mbps C<RSSI≤D 5Mbps D<RSSI 1Mbps

[0052] S563, comparing the associated network propagation rate with a preset network propagation rate threshold, when the determined network propagation rate is less than or equal to the preset network propagation rate threshold, the wireless network mode of the in-wall smart device is switched to the 802.11b mode, wherein when the determined network propagation rate is less than or equal to the preset network propagation rate threshold, it indicates that the current wireless signal strength is relatively weak. Switching the wireless network mode of the in-wall smart device to the 802.11b mode can ensure that the device is online and realize simple data transmission.

[0053] In this embodiment, in order to ensure networking effect and improve user experience, while switching the wireless network mode of the wall-mounted smart device to the 802.11b mode, S563 also includes: increasing the radio frequency transmission power of the smart device.

[0054] In this embodiment, the preset value of the radio frequency transmission power is found and the radio frequency transmission power is increased to the preset value.

[0055] The network adaptive configuration method described in this embodiment dynamically adjusts the network transmission rate according to the wireless signal strength and reply frame situation of the wireless access point, so as to ensure the communication quality of the wall-mounted smart device and improve the user experience.

[0056] This embodiment further provides a network adaptive configuration system, which is applied to a communication network. The communication network includes at least one wall-mounted smart device and at least one wireless access point. The network adaptive configuration system includes: a communication unit and a processing unit.

[0057] The communication unit is used to communicate the connection status with one of the wireless access points.

[0058] The processing unit is used to determine whether the communication unit has received at least one confirmation signal within a preset time interval when the communication unit is in a communication connection state with one of the wireless access points. If so, it indicates that the communication status between the in-wall smart device and the wireless access point is good, and the current network transmission rate continues to be maintained to instruct the communication unit to continue to transmit data frames at the current network transmission rate; if not, the network transmission rate is adaptively adjusted according to the current wireless signal strength of the wireless access point obtained; wherein the confirmation signal is used by the in-wall smart device to inform the wireless access point connected to it that it has successfully and correctly received the data frame.

[0059] The network adaptive configuration system provided by this embodiment will be described in detail below.

[0060] When there are multiple wireless access points in multiple subspaces, in order to ensure the stability of the communication connection of the wall-mounted smart device in each subspace, the processing unit selects a wireless access point 11 with the best transmission path and instructs the communication unit to communicate with it.

[0061] The processing unit is used to determine whether at least one confirmation signal is received within a preset time interval when the wall-mounted smart device is in a communication connection state with one of the wireless access points. If so, it indicates that the communication state between the wall-mounted smart device and the wireless access point is good, and the current network transmission rate continues to be maintained to instruct the communication unit to continue to transmit data frames at the current network transmission rate. If not, the network transmission rate is adaptively adjusted according to the current wireless signal strength of the wireless access point obtained. The confirmation signal is used by the wireless access point to inform the wall-mounted smart device that is in communication connection with it that it has successfully and correctly received the data frame.

[0062] In this embodiment, in order to further detect whether the wireless access point has successfully and correctly received the data frame, the processing unit is further configured to determine whether two confirmation signals can be received continuously within the preset time interval.

[0063] If the processing unit determines that at least one confirmation signal is not received within a preset time period, the communication unit is instructed to retransmit the data frame to the wireless access point M times. If at least one confirmation signal is still not received after the number of retransmissions reaches a predetermined number of retransmissions, for example, 3 times, the wireless signal strength of the wireless access point is read N times within a preset wireless signal strength reading time period, an average value of the wireless signal strength of the wireless access point is calculated, and the average value is used as the current wireless signal strength of the wireless access point to obtain the current wireless signal strength of the wireless access point.

[0064] Since the wireless signal strengths of the N wireless access points read may fluctuate, affecting the calculation of the average value of the wireless signal strengths, in order to obtain accurate data, the processing unit of this embodiment removes the maximum wireless signal strength and the minimum wireless signal strength from the N wireless signal strengths of the wireless access points, calculates the average value of the wireless signal strengths of the wireless access points after removing the maximum wireless signal strength and the minimum wireless signal strength, and uses the average value as the current wireless signal strength of the wireless access point to obtain the current wireless signal strength of the wireless access point.

[0065] After acquiring the current wireless signal strength of the wireless access point, the processing unit adaptively adjusts the network transmission rate according to the acquired current wireless signal strength of the wireless access point.

[0066] In order to improve the quality and stability of network transmission and optimize the user experience, the processing unit specifically searches for the wireless signal strength value interval corresponding to the current wireless signal strength of the wireless access point from the pre-stored multiple wireless signal strength value intervals, selects the network propagation rate associated with the wireless signal strength value interval, compares the associated network propagation rate with the preset network propagation rate threshold, and when the determined network propagation rate is less than or equal to the preset network propagation rate threshold, switches the wireless network mode of the wall-mounted smart device to the 802.11b mode to adaptively adjust the network propagation rate. In this embodiment, each wireless signal strength value interval is associated with a matching network propagation rate. When the determined network propagation rate is less than or equal to the preset network propagation rate threshold, it indicates that the current wireless signal strength is relatively weak. In this embodiment, in order to ensure the networking effect and improve the user experience, while switching the wireless network mode of the wall-mounted smart device to the 802.11b mode, the processing unit is also used to increase the radio frequency transmission power of the smart device.

[0067] In this embodiment, the processing unit searches for a preset value of the radio frequency transmission power and increases the radio frequency transmission power to the preset value.
