A METHOD FOR ACHIEVING LOAD BALANCE BETWEEN ACCESS POINT DEVICES IN THE WIRELESS LOCAL AREA NETWORK

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for achieving load balance between access point devices in a wireless local area network and it's applicable for a wireless local area network in which multiple access points provide wireless connection service for a plurality of wireless mobile stations. In the method, a master access point, which allows a mobile wireless station to access, is elected by the manner of exchanging messages among the multiple access points. And the rest of the multiple access points are set as slave access points which refuse the wireless mobile station to access. The present invention overcomes the shortages of the prior art, in which load balance is achieved by depending on an external service controller of the access point AP or which can only be applied to special STA user groups. Also, the present invention solves the problem of achieving dynamic load balance between the access points by utilizing the valid resources effectively.
