Network sharing system and method

Abstract

The invention provides a network sharing system and method. The network sharing system comprises a network access device and a network extension device, wherein the network access device is connected to the Internet and used for providing a wireless network service; the network access device and the network extension device form a wireless Ad hoc network; the network extension device is connected with the network access device through the wireless Ad hoc network in order to be indirectly connected to the Internet and provide the wireless network service; the network access device and the network extension device maintain routing information; and the routing information records corresponding relationships between destination network device addresses which can be accessed by a network device and addresses of next-hop network devices which are optimally selected when the network device accesses the destination network devices. Through adoption of the network sharing technology, the deployment cost of a wireless network is lowered, and a sufficient bandwidth is ensured through a plurality of network devices when a smart terminal accesses the Internet. The network sharing system and method have wide popularization and application prospects.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of communication, and in particular relates to a network sharing system and a network sharing method. Background technique [0002] The popularity of smart terminals (such as mobile phones, tablet computers, and laptops) provides people with a more convenient lifestyle. People often use smart terminals to access the wireless local area network provided by wireless routers to access the Internet. The wireless network coverage of a single wireless router is Limited, in order to expand the coverage of the wireless network, it is generally adopted to deploy multiple wireless routers or deploy WDS (Wireless Distribution System, wireless distributed system). If multiple wireless routers are deployed, each wireless router is connected to the Internet, which leads to The cost of wireless network deployment is rising; if WDS is deployed, the entire WDS has only one network exit, resulting in limited bandwidth when sm...
