US 2017/0013560 A1 · WIRELESS COMMUNICATION CONTROL METHOD AND APPARATUS

Abstract

A wireless communication control method and apparatus are provided. The method includes: receiving, by a wireless network device in a first frequency band, a first probe request frame sent by a terminal, and receiving, in a second frequency band, a second probe request frame sent by the terminal, where a quantity of non-overlapping channels in the first frequency band is less than that in the second frequency band; and a first transmit power of the wireless network device in the first frequency band is lower than a second transmit power of the wireless network device in the second frequency band; preferentially responding, by the wireless network device, to the first probe request frame at the first transmit power if a signal transmission strength of the terminal is greater than a preset strength. Co-channel interference in an operating frequency band including a relatively small quantity of non-overlapping channels is reduced.

A wireless communication control method, comprising:

receiving, by a wireless network device in a first frequency band, a first probe request frame sent by a terminal, and receiving, in a second frequency band, a second probe request frame sent by the terminal, wherein a quantity of non-overlapping channels in the first frequency band is less than a quantity of non-overlapping channels in the second frequency band;
and a first transmit power of the wireless network device in the first frequency band is lower than a second transmit power of the wireless network device in the second frequency band;
preferentially responding, by the wireless network device, to the first probe request frame at the first transmit power if a signal transmission strength of the terminal is greater than a preset strength;
and
preferentially responding, by the wireless network device, to the second probe request frame at the second transmit power if the signal transmission strength of the terminal is less than the preset strength.
