ADAPTIVE BEACON TRANSMISSION

摘要

The embodiments disclose a method in AP for adaptive beacon transmission. The AP transmits a beacon signal through a plurality of beacon beams to an area. The plurality of beacon beams are grouped into a plurality of beacon beam sets. The method comprises obtaining a first statistical information, within a first period, based on times each of beacon beams in a first beacon beam set is identified, by any one of the at least one communication device within the area, to carry the beacon signal with the best reception quality among its received beacon signals, and adapting a frequency to transmit the beacon signal over each of the beacon beams in the first beacon beam set based on the first statistical information.
