Wireless roaming methods and devices, memory medium and access point equipment

Abstract

The invention discloses wireless roaming methods and devices, a memory medium and access point equipment. The wireless roaming method comprises the steps of receiving first signal strength indicationinformation from an overlap access point, wherein the first signal strength indication information is used for describing signal strength when a station transmits a data packet with the overlap accesspoint through utilization of a current channel, and cover ranges of the overlap access point and a current access point are overlapped; measuring second signal strength indication information, wherein the second signal strength indication information is used for describing the signal strength when the station transmits the data packet with the current access point through utilization of the current channel; and sending the first signal strength indication information and the second signal strength indication information to the station, and / or generating a witching instruction according to thefirst signal strength indication information and the second signal strength indication information, and sending the switching instruction to the station. According to the technical scheme provided bythe invention, wireless roaming efficiency can be improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of communications, and in particular to a wireless roaming method and device, a storage medium, and an access point device. Background technique [0002] In a wifi roaming scenario, a station (STAtion, STA) accesses an original access point (Access Point, AP), and the original AP uses the original channel. When the new AP uses a different channel from the original channel used by the original AP, the station will perform a channel scan, and move to the channel used by the new AP and check whether the current handover is a valid handover. [0003] However, the STA may switch to the new channel too early, find that the signal of the original channel is better, and then switch back to the original channel; or, the STA may switch to the new channel too late. Channel scanning and frequent channel switching take time, resulting in delays in wifi roaming. Contents of the invention [0004] The technical...
