The present invention relates to a method for scheduling an access point of a
wireless local area network. The method comprises: within a current scheduling cycle of a network running state, a first controller receiving statistical performance data reported by a plurality of access points in a first access
point cluster within the last scheduling cycle, wherein the first access
point cluster comprises the first controller and a plurality of access points connected to the first controller; according to statistical performance information, generating a scheduling solution of the plurality of access points within the next scheduling cycle; and
broadcasting the scheduling solution to the plurality of access points, for configuring a sending parameter within the next scheduling cycle by the plurality of access points within the current scheduling cycle according to the scheduling solution, and communicating with a
user equipment according to the sending parameter, wherein the sending parameter comprises an antenna direction, an upper
limit value of a transmission power, and a threshold value of an estimated parameter of an
idle channel. By means of the embodiments of the present invention, that the effect of different access points on other access points when communicating with the
user equipment (UE) is reduced is realized in a
local area network with a plurality of access points, thereby improving the access rate of the
wireless local area network.
