Abstract
A method for wireless communication is provided. The method includes obtaining address information of a plurality of access points and determining physical position information of the plurality of access points based on the address information. The method also includes determining one or more zones covering the plurality of access points based on the physical position information and configuring a network self-organization scheme based on the one or more zones.
Claims24
A method for wireless communication, comprising:
- obtaining address information of a plurality of access points;
- determining physical position information of the plurality of access points based on the address information;
- determining one or more zones covering the plurality of access points based on the physical position information;
- and
- configuring the plurality of access points based on the one or more zones.
A communication server for use in a wireless communication system that includes a plurality of wireless access points configured to provide service to users, the communication server comprising:
- a database;
- and
- a processor, the processor being configured to:
- obtain address information of the plurality of access points and store the address information in the database;
- determine physical position information of the plurality of access points based on the address information;
- determine one or more zones covering the plurality of access points based on the physical position information;
- and
- configure the plurality of access points based on the one or more zones.
A method used in a communication server for a wireless communication system that includes at least one wireless access point configured to provide service to a user, the method comprising:
- receiving a request message from the user carried by the at least one wireless access point;
- retrieving information associated with the user and the at least one wireless access point from a database, the information including physical position information;
- determining one or more zones covering the at least one access point based on the physical position information;
- and
- configuring the at least one access point based on the one or more zones by sending one or more messages.
A method for configuring a plurality of access points within a coverage area, comprising:
- obtaining physical position information of the plurality of access points within the coverage area, the physical position information including address information organized in a set of address elements;
- creating a plurality of regions of the coverage area based on the set of address elements and address information of the plurality of access points;
- determining one or more interference avoidance rules or one or more frequency reuse rules based on the plurality of regions;
- and
- configuring the plurality of access points based on the one or more interference avoidance rules or the one or more frequency reuse rules.
