ACCESS POINT (AP) AND SYSTEM BASED ON AP AND ACCESS POINT CONTROLLER (AC) ARCHITECTURES

摘要

Provided are an access point (AP) and a system based on AP and access point controller (AC) architectures. The access point (AP) comprises: a judgement module which is configured to judge whether the AP loses a link with an AC or not; a first acquisition module which is configured to acquire a pre-stored user information list when the AP loses the link with the AC, the user information list comprising an identity authentication state of an online user of the AP; and a second acquisition module which is configured to acquire the online user whose identity has been authenticated according to the identity authentication state in the information list, so as to enable the AP to continuously provide network services for the online user whose identity has been authenticated. The present invention can improve the user experience.
