System and method for determining position and coverage radium of APs (access points) of WIFI (wireless fidelity) network

Abstract

The invention discloses a system and method for determining the position and the coverage radium of APs (access points) of a WIFI (wireless fidelity) network. The system comprises WIFI network nodes and an upper layer system server 102, wherein the WIFI network nodes are used for receiving AP identifications from the APs and network identifications corresponding to the WIFI network to which the APs belong, and determining AP identifications corresponding to APs which do not belong to the WIFI network in the received AP identifications; the WIFI network nodes send position measurement requests to the determined APs corresponding to the AP identifications, and receive position information returned by the corresponding APs; the WIFI network nodes send the determined AP identifications, the network identifications corresponding to the WIFI network to which the APs belong and the position information returned by the corresponding APs to the upper layer system server 102; and the upper layer system server 102 is used for correspondingly recording the received AP identifications, the network identifications of the belonged WIFI network and the position information. According to the invention, the determination of the positions of the APs which do not belong to the WIFI network as well as the efficiency and the comprehensiveness of the coverage radium is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of wireless communication, in particular to a system and method for determining the position and coverage radius of an AP (Access Point) of a Wireless Fidelity (Wireless Fidelity) network. Background technique [0002] WIFI technology is a wireless local area network technology stipulated in IEEE 802.11 series standards, and it is a wireless data access technology and ad hoc network technology using free frequencies. [0003] The IEEE802.11 standard basically does not involve the network standard behind the backhaul link of the AP. Any organization can form a separate WIFI network by deploying or renting multiple APs (or their logical resources), and then provide free or wireless access service for a fee. The network resources that users can access after accessing are determined by the operator of the WIFI network, which can be an unrestricted internet network or a company's enterprise local area network.

Problems solved by technology

[0005] Due to the high degree of dependence on the staff in the existing technical solutions, the degree of automation is low, and because the staff is required to complete the measurement through repeated movements in the designated area, the efficiency is very low, and for areas with complex terrain, May not be implemented, resulting in incomplete determination of AP for other institutions
