METHOD, APPARATUS, AND SYSTEM FOR DATA EXCHANGE BETWEEN APS IN WIFI SYSTEM

摘要

A method for data exchange between access points (APs) includes: receiving, by a source AP, available APs of all stations (STAs) having association relationships with the source AP, and operating channels of the available APs, where the available APs and the operating channels of the available APs are sent by the STAs; determining, by the source AP, a relay STA according to the received available APs of the STAs and the received operating channels of the available APs, where an available AP of the relay STA includes a destination AP that needs to perform data exchange with the source AP; and sending a relay request message to the relay STA, where the relay request message includes the destination AP, so that the relay STA sends data from the source AP to the destination AP after receiving the relay request message.

1. A method for data exchange between access points (Aps) in a WiFi system, the method comprising:
receiving, by a source AP, available APs of all stations (STAs) having association relationships with the source AP, and operating channels of the available APs, wherein the available APs and the operating channels of the available APs are sent by the STAs; determining, by the source AP, a relay STA according to the received available APs of the STAs and the received operating channels of the available APs, wherein an available AP of the relay STA comprises a destination AP that needs to perform data exchange with the source AP; and sending a relay request message to the relay STA, wherein the relay request message comprises the destination AP, so that the relay STA sends data from the source AP to the destination AP after receiving the relay request message, so as to perform the data exchange between the source AP and the destination AP.
