Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for scheduling an access point of a wireless local area network, including: receiving, by a first controller in a current scheduling period of a network running state, performance statistical data of a last scheduling period reported by a plurality of access points in a first access point cluster in the last scheduling period, where the first access point cluster includes the first controller and the plurality of access points connected to the first controller; generating a scheduling scheme for the plurality of access points for a next scheduling period according to the performance statistical information; and broadcasting the scheduling scheme to the plurality of access points. According to the method, impact on other access points due to communications between different access points and user equipments are reduced in a wireless local area network with a plurality of access points.
