Method, Apparatus, and System for QoS Parameter Configuration in WLAN

摘要

A method, an apparatus, and a system for quality of service (QoS) parameter configuration in a wireless local area network (WLAN), where the method includes sending, by a network device, a default first QoS parameter set to a terminal, sending, by the network device, a QoS parameter set modification message including a second QoS parameter set to the terminal, where the second QoS parameter set is different from the first QoS parameter set, and the QoS parameter set modification message is a unicast beacon frame or an active probe response frame. In this way, the second QoS parameter set different from the first QoS parameter set is sent to the terminal using the unicast beacon frame or the active probe response frame, which ensures that the network device dynamically adjusts a QoS parameter set of the terminal on a per terminal basis, thereby improving data transmission efficiency and user experience.

1. A method for quality of service (QoS) parameter configuration in a wireless local area network (WLAN), comprising:
sending, by a network device to a terminal, an association response frame carrying a first QoS parameter set after the network device receives an association request frame sent by the terminal, wherein the first QoS parameter set is a default QoS parameter set, wherein the first QoS parameter set comprises multiple QoS parameters, for different access categories of access channels, of the terminal, and wherein the network device is an access point (AP) or a wireless controller managing the AP; and sending, by the network device, a QoS parameter set modification message to the terminal, wherein the QoS parameter set modification message comprises a second QoS parameter set, wherein the second QoS parameter set is different from the first QoS parameter set, wherein the QoS parameter set modification message is a first beacon frame, wherein a recipient address of the first beacon frame is a medium access control (MAC) address of the terminal, wherein the MAC address of the terminal is a unicast address.
