Abstract
A data communication method is disclosed for reducing cross interference between mobile devices as clients served by networks and network devices which have overlapping coverage. A first network device includes a first client list and a first communication schedule and the first network device communicates with other overlapping network devices to obtain a second client list and a second communication schedule The first communication schedule is adjusted according to the obtained second client list and second communication schedule to avoid signal interference by interfering clients.
Claims20
A data communication method, applied in a first network device comprising a first communication schedule and a first client list, the first client list recording one or more first clients connecting with the first network device, the method comprising:
- retrieving a second client list from a second network device, wherein the second client list records one or more second clients connecting with the second network device;
- determining whether there is an interference client recorded in the second client list, wherein the interference client is located in signal coverage of the first network device;
- retrieving a second communication schedule from the second network device, wherein the second communication schedule comprises a third communication schedule for the interference client;
- determining whether the first network device is affected by signal interference from the interference client, based on the first communication schedule and the third communication schedule, when data communication between the first network device and a third client of the first clients is being performed;
- and
- adjusting the first communication schedule in response to the determining result.
A network device, the device comprising:
- at least one processor;
- a storage system, which stores a first communication schedule and a first client list, the first client list recording one or more first clients connecting with the network device;
- and
- one or more programs that are stored in the storage system and executed by the at least one processor, the one or more programs comprising instructions for:
- retrieving a second client list from a second network device, wherein the second client list records one or more second clients connecting with the second network device;
- determining whether there is an interference client recorded in the second client list, wherein the interference client is located in signal coverage of the network device;
- retrieving a second communication schedule from the second network device, wherein the second communication schedule comprises a third communication schedule for the interference client;
- determining whether the network device is affected by signal interference from the interference client, based on the first communication schedule and the third communication schedule, when data communication between the network device and a third client of the first clients is being performed;
- and
- adjusting the first communication schedule in response to the determining result.
