Method for establishing a communication group using a target channel, communication device, and computer readable storage medium

A communication device, comprising:

• a transceiver;
• and
• a processor, coupled to the transceiver and performing:
• controlling the transceiver to receive at least one beacon from at least one reference device, wherein each of the at least one beacon comprises a wireless channel used by the corresponding reference device and a number of connected devices of the corresponding reference device, and the wireless channel indicated in each of the at least one beacon belongs to a plurality of reference channels;
• determining a target channel based on the wireless channel used by the corresponding reference device and the number of connected devices of the corresponding reference device;
• and
• establishing the communication group by using the target channel,
• wherein the processor performs:
• determining whether the plurality of reference channels comprise a plurality of least used channels based on the wireless channel indicated in each of the at least one beacon;
• in response to determining that the plurality of reference channels comprise the plurality of least used channels, determining a number of total connected devices corresponding to each of the plurality of least used channels based on the number of connected devices indicated in each of the at least one beacon;
• determining whether the plurality of least used channels comprise only one least connected channel based on the number of total connected devices corresponding to each of the plurality of least used channels;
• in response to determining that the plurality of least used channels comprise only one least connected channel, determining the only one least connected channel as the target channel.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium, the computer readable storage medium recording an executable computer program, the executable computer program being loaded by a communication device to perform steps of:

• receiving at least one beacon from at least one reference device, wherein each of the at least one beacon comprises a wireless channel used by the corresponding reference device and a number of connected devices of the corresponding reference device, and the wireless channel indicated in each of the at least one beacon belongs to a plurality of reference channels;
• determining a target channel based on the wireless channel used by the corresponding reference device and the number of connected devices of the corresponding reference device;
• and
• establishing the communication group by using the target channel,
• wherein the step of determining the target channel based on the wireless channel used by the corresponding reference device and the number of connected devices of the corresponding reference device comprises:
• determining whether the plurality of reference channels comprise a plurality of least used channels based on the wireless channel indicated in each of the at least one beacon;
• in response to determining that the plurality of reference channels comprise the plurality of least used channels, determining a number of total connected devices corresponding to each of the plurality of least used channels based on the number of connected devices indicated in each of the at least one beacon;
• determining whether the plurality of least used channels comprise only one least connected channel based on the number of total connected devices corresponding to each of the plurality of least used channels;
• in response to determining that the plurality of least used channels comprise only one least connected channel, determining the only one least connected channel as the target channel.
