A LOAD BALANCING METHOD FOR A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

The present invention proposes a load balancing method for a wireless communication system, in which said system comprises a backbone network, more than one Access Point connected to said backbone network and more than one client, said method comprising the following steps: (1) the client transmits a Probe Request message to said more than one Access Point; (2) the Access Point monitors its load, if the Access Point is under an overload situation, it will transmit a Probe Response message to the client by the minimum transmitting power, and if the Access Point is under normal load situation, it will transmit a Probe Response message to said client by normal transmitting power; (3) the client preferentially chooses the Access Point under normal load situation to access based on the signal strength of the received Probe Respond message. The present method of invention provides the client with a priority of the Access Points, in which the Access Point under an overload situation has a lower priority.
