Description

Wireless fidelity parameter configuration method, device and storage medium

Technical field

The present invention relates to the field of communications, and in particular, to a wireless fidelity (WiFi) parameter configuration method, apparatus, and storage medium.

Background technique

Currently, there are three main wireless bands allowed by the 802.11 protocol suite: the 2.4 GHz, 3.6 GHz, and 4.9/5.0 GHz bands. And each frequency band of these bands is divided into a series of channels. However, each country has corresponding restrictions on channel resources, users and maximum power in the frequency bands allowed in the country. For example, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), which began in 2007, requires 5.250-5.350 GHz. Devices with channels in the 5.470-5.725 GHz band must have DFS (Dynamic Frequency Selection) and TPC (Transmit Power Control) functions; the US FCC further declares in 2010 that the 5.470-5.725 GHz band is used. In order to avoid affecting the Doppler weather radar terminal, it is forbidden to use 120, 124, 128, 116 and 132 channels. Within the 35Km of the Doppler weather radar terminal, the used channels must be separated by more than 30 MHz; Germany also requires DFS and TPC functions for devices using channels in the 5.250–5.350 GHz and 5.470–5.725 GHz bands. It also specifies that 5.150–5.250 GHz is only allowed for indoor use; other countries such as Australia, South Africa, Japan, Brazil, etc. There are self-regulations for channels in the 5 GHz band.

In view of the above requirements, the WiFi device usually needs to be preset according to the country of shipment, the country code of the corresponding country, and the relevant parameters such as the supportable frequency band. However, during the use of the WiFi device, the user may also need to configure the WiFi parameter for the WiFi device. For example, when the WiFi device roams to other countries, the user may need to configure the WiFi parameter for the WiFi device, and the user usually The WiFi parameter can be configured manually for the WiFi device. The existing WiFi parameter configuration mode, although the WiFi parameter can be configured, has the following problems, and requires manual configuration by the user, which is very inconvenient; and if the WiFi device is currently working in the 5.0 GHz band, the WiFi device roams from one country to another. In the case where the two countries have different requirements for the 5.0 GHz band, when the user does not configure the frequency band of the WiFi device, the WiFi device may work in an illegal frequency band, thereby causing unnecessary trouble.

The message; wherein the WiFi application can configure the WiFi parameter of the first WiFi device. Therefore, the packet carrying the country code can be obtained before the WiFi application is started, that is, the packet carrying the country code is obtained before the WiFi application configures the WiFi parameter of the first WiFi device.

It should be noted that, in this step, the first WiFi device monitors and receives the packet carrying the country code of the WiFi hotspot in the environment surrounding the first WiFi device. The preset time period may be set according to actual requirements. For example, if the information of the country code of all WiFi hotspots in the environment surrounding the first WiFi device is obtained in about 1 second, the packet is received. The preset time period is set to 1 second to all the WiFi hotspots in the environment surrounding the first WiFi device, and the start time of the preset time period is the first WiFi device. The time is set to set the WiFi parameter configuration mode of the first WiFi device to the setting command of the configuration mode provided by the embodiment of the present invention. Therefore, the packets carrying the country code of all the WiFi hotspots in the environment surrounding the first WiFi device can be obtained.

It should be noted that the packet may be a beacon packet based on the 802.11d protocol, and the beacon packet is a Beacon packet sent by the WiFi hotspot, so that the WiFi device can detect and select whether to access the WiFi hotspot, 802.11. The protocol requires the device to carry the country code information in the Beacon packet. Therefore, the Beacon packet based on the 802.11d protocol includes the country code field, as shown in Figure 2. Figure 2 is a field diagram of the Beacon packet based on the 802.11d protocol. In the Beacon message Including: message ID (Element ID); message length (Length); country code string (Country String (Octets 1, 2)), occupying the first octet and the second octet; Code String (Octets 3), occupying the third octet; First Channel Number; Number of Channels; Maximum Transmit Power Level; If necessary, the Beacon message also includes a padding field (Pad) field. The packet may also be a probe response packet based on the 802.11d protocol, and the probe response message is a probe response message sent by the WiFi hotspot unicast, and is used to respond to the probe request message received by the WiFi hotspot, and the 802.11d protocol requires The device carries the country code information in the Probe Response message. Therefore, the Country Code field is included in the Probe Response message based on the 802.11d protocol.

Correspondingly, the first WiFi device calculates the proportion of each country code in the obtained country code, and may be that the first WiFi device calculates the proportion of each country code in the country code that meets the preset condition. Correspondingly, the ratio of each country code refers to a ratio of the total number of each country code in the country code that meets the preset condition to the total number of country codes that meet the preset condition. Correspondingly, when the ratios of the various country codes are the same, for example, the total number of country codes that meet the preset conditions is three, and the codes of the three countries are different, so the calculation of each country code is obtained. The ratio is 33.33%.

It should be noted that the preset condition may be a non-empty, legal, country code supported by the first WiFi device. The first WiFi device may filter the obtained country code to remove the country code that does not meet the preset condition, such as removing the empty, illegal, country code that is not supported by the first WiFi device, and obtaining the country code that meets the preset condition. . The illegal country code means that the country code is different from the country code of any country. The country code supported by the first WiFi device refers to a country code existing in an optional country code list in the first WiFi device. It should be noted that, when calculating the proportion of each country code in the country code that meets the preset condition, the SSID and the MAC address may be correspondingly, and the total number of country codes that meet the preset condition may be counted.

It should be noted that, when the ratios of the various country codes are the same, the country code of the geographic location where the first WiFi device is located according to the WiFi parameter corresponding to the country code may be included. The first WiFi device finds the WiFi parameters corresponding to the various country codes; the first WiFi device determines whether the WiFi parameters corresponding to the various country codes are the same; and when determining that the WiFi parameters corresponding to the various country codes are the same, the first WiFi device is from the various A country code is randomly selected in the country code as the country code of the geographic location of the first WiFi device. Otherwise, the first WiFi device determines that it does not obtain the country code of the geographic location where the first WiFi device is located. The determining, by the first WiFi device, the pre-stored parameter mapping table, the parameter mapping table records the WiFi parameter corresponding to the country code; the first WiFi device records the parameter from the parameter. The WiFi parameters corresponding to various country codes are respectively found in the table.
