Method for Selecting Controller in Network and Station Device

摘要

The present invention provides a method for selecting a network controller and a station device. Supported channel width sets of multiple station STA devices are acquired; a PCP factor of the each STA device is generated according to a supported channel width set and an acquired directional multi-gigabit DMG capability information element of the each STA device, where the PCP factor includes the supported channel width set; a STA device with a largest PCP factor is selected as a PCP. Using the method for selecting a PCP and the STA device provided in the present invention can improve reliability of a wireless local area network WLAN.
