This method can accurately identify the generation type of the client and intelligently guide the client.

Provided are a channel and resource allocation method, device and system, relating to the technical field of communication, and solving the problem of high system complexity in the existing wireless local network architecture. The specific scheme is as follows: a management device acquires load parameters of wireless access point devices managed by the management device; the management device receives parameters of a working channel corresponding to the management device from a wireless local network (WLAN) controller; and the management device allocates a number of resource blocks to each wireless access point device or a time length of each wireless access point device according to the load parameters of the wireless access point devices managed by the management device and the parameters of the working channel corresponding to the management device. The embodiments of the application are used in the process of channel and resource allocation.

This application discloses a site multi-link device guidance method, apparatus, device, and medium, relating to the field of wireless local area network (WLAN) technology and applied to a WLAN controller. The method includes: collecting signal measurement data from multiple access point multi-link devices at the same site; for each access point multi-link device, determining the link combinations adapted to the site multi-link device, and constructing virtual multi-link report entries for each candidate combination formed by the access point multi-link device and different link combinations based on the signal measurement data; scoring each virtual multi-link report entry to obtain a comprehensive quality score, and determining the target candidate combination corresponding to the highest score; when the target candidate combination meets preset conditions, generating a guidance instruction based on the target access point multi-link device and the target link combination, so as to guide the site multi-link device to switch to the target access point multi-link device and establish a multi-link association with the target link combination using the guidance instruction.

Method for application control and Quality of Service (QoS) handling may be provided. A request may be received for scheduling a communication between an Access Point (AP) and a user device for sending data of an application. It may be determined that the request does not comprise network characteristics of the application. In response to determining that the request does not comprise the network characteristics of the application, the network characteristics may be requested from a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) controller. The network characteristics may be received from the WLAN controller. Schedules for the application may be determined based on the network characteristics. The schedules may be enabled.

Devices, networks, systems, methods, and processes for dynamically allocating channel widths to Access Point (AP) radios for both a data exchange operation and a ranging operation are provided herein. A wireless network may include a Wireless Local Area Network Controller (WLC) and a set of APs. A network device of the wireless network may allocate a first channel width to a plurality of radios of the set of APs for the data exchange operation. Further, the network device may determine that the set of APs is enabled for the ranging operation. Furthermore, the network device may allocate a second channel width to a set of radios of the plurality of radios for the ranging operation such that inefficiencies in channel width allocation for one or both the data exchange operation and the ranging operation are suppressed. The allocated second channel width may be different from the allocated first channel width.
