Analysis And Design Of Beacon-Measure Reports Receiving And Displaying In Command Line Modules In Wlan System

Within a common wireless local area network, stations that limited by the location are usually connected to access points which provide the strongest signal. Sometimes, this method of connection management leads to excess demand of an AP and the rate of utilization of other APs will also be decreased. In order to remit the workload of some APs which are connected numbers of stations, people need to know the integrated information of each APs at a particular time. In the environment of wireless local area network which observes the802.11k, people can get the information that the utilization of APs. In advance to understand the status of current resources in the WLAN system, it will help to make better use of network resources and improve the efficiency when stations are working.According to the user’s demand, it is designed to use the beacon measurement standard which was approved by802.11k protocol. Finally, it realized to receive the beacon-measure reports and users can see the reports on command line when inputting the command by deeper analysis. In combination with V model of software development process, the project team finished all working. The modules provide an interface to receive the beacon-measure reports and save them in a certain way. The reports are displayed to the users through the command line.First, the whole technology environment of receiving beacon-measure reports is analyzed. And then we make a detailed analysis of the demand and divide functions of the modules depend on the users’demand. The design has been clear about the specific functions of each module and the implementation process between functions. Finally, the codes of whole module are completed。The functions are tested in different levels. It will ensure the accuracy and practicability of the project.This topic has finally realized the module of beacon-measure reports receiving and displaying. And this part has been incorporated into the whole beacon measuring project. After testing, the system include beacon measurement function can be provided to the users.Of course, since the popularizing rate of using802.11k protocol is improving there will be more wireless products which support beacon measurement.
