Next, embodiments of the present application will be described in detail.
The embodiment of the application provides an AP management method, which is applied to an AC, as shown in fig. 1, and may include the following steps:
s11, when an association instruction which is input by an administrator and used for representing that the vehicle-mounted AP is allowed to associate with the AC is received, the association instruction is issued to the trackside APs which are connected with the Mesh of each vehicle-mounted AP in the vehicle-mounted AP group in a local configuration, so that each trackside AP forwards the association instruction to the corresponding vehicle-mounted AP, and the corresponding vehicle-mounted AP initiates an association flow to the AC.
In this step, the working mode of each vehicle-mounted AP is a fat AP mode, and the working mode of the trackside AP with which each vehicle-mounted AP has a Mesh connection is a thin AP mode.
S12, aiming at each vehicle-mounted AP, after the vehicle-mounted AP is related to the AC through a track-side AP which is connected with the vehicle-mounted AP through Mesh, if the version number of the acquired version of the vehicle-mounted AP is judged to be inconsistent with the version number of the target version, the target version is issued to the vehicle-mounted AP through the track-side AP, so that the vehicle-mounted AP carries out version upgrading based on the target version.
In this step, the target version may be a version of the AC, or may be a new version to which the vehicle-mounted AP in the vehicle-mounted AP group configured by the administrator on the AC needs to be upgraded.
S13, after the version of the vehicle-mounted AP is updated and then is re-associated to the AC through the trackside AP, if configuration information corresponding to the vehicle-mounted AP group is locally stored, the configuration information is issued to the vehicle-mounted AP through the trackside AP, so that the vehicle-mounted AP updates the local configuration information based on the configuration information.
It should be noted that, in the step S11, the vehicle-mounted AP group is deployed on the AC by the administrator in advance, so that the subsequent AC may be based on the association instruction input by the administrator (the association instruction is generally input by the administrator when knowing that all the vehicle-mounted APs in the vehicle-mounted AP group have been parked in the designated vehicle segment location), and the vehicle-mounted APs in the locally configured vehicle-mounted AP group are actively notified of the vehicle-mounted APs whose working modes are fat AP modes through the relevant trackside APs, and the vehicle-mounted APs are associated with the AC through the relevant trackside APs, thereby realizing that the AC manages the vehicle-mounted APs, and greatly saving labor cost.
Specifically, in the above step S12, the AC may acquire the version number of the version of the vehicle-mounted AP by:
after the vehicle-mounted AP is associated to the AC through a trackside AP which establishes Mesh connection with the vehicle-mounted AP, a query request for querying a version number of the version of the vehicle-mounted AP is sent to the vehicle-mounted AP through the trackside AP;
and receiving a query response which is sent by the vehicle-mounted AP through the trackside AP and carries the version number of the version of the vehicle-mounted AP, and acquiring the version number of the version of the vehicle-mounted AP from the query response.
It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, after receiving the association instruction, any vehicle AP in the vehicle AP group initiates an association procedure to the AC through the trackside AP that establishes a Mesh connection with the vehicle AP, and the specific association procedure is the prior art and will not be described in detail herein.
Once the on-board AP is associated with an AC, it means that the on-board AP has established a wireless access point control and provisioning (Controlling and Provisioning of Wireless Access Point, CAPWAP) tunnel with the AC through the trackside AP with which the Mesh connection is established, so that subsequent ACs manage the on-board AP through the CAPWAP tunnel.
In addition, in the step S12, when the AC performs the operation of issuing the target version to the vehicle-mounted AP through the trackside AP, the specific implementation process is as follows: and the AC issues a target version to the vehicle-mounted AP through the vehicle-mounted AP by using the CAPWAP tunnel established by the trackside AP and the AC.
Specifically, in the step S13, when the AC performs the operation of issuing the configuration information to the vehicle-mounted AP through the trackside AP, the specific implementation process is as follows: and the AC transmits configuration information to the vehicle-mounted AP through the vehicle-mounted AP by using the CAPWAP tunnel established by the trackside AP and the AC.
For example, it is assumed that at a certain subway vehicle section location, there are n in-vehicle APs whose operation modes are fat AP modes, for example, in-vehicle AP1, in-vehicle AP2 … …, and in-vehicle APn. The administrator configures a vehicle-mounted AP group 1 on the AC in advance, and the vehicle-mounted AP group 1 includes a vehicle-mounted AP1, a vehicle-mounted AP2 … …, and a vehicle-mounted APn.
Assuming that at some point these vehicle-mounted APs have been parked at the subway vehicle section location, the administrator inputs on the AC an association instruction 1 for characterizing that the vehicle-mounted APs are allowed to associate with the AC, at which point the AC issues association instruction 1 to the trackside APs that establish Mesh connections with each of the vehicle-mounted APs in the vehicle-mounted AP group 1. Here, the operation mode of the trackside AP having a Mesh connection established with each of the in-vehicle APs in the in-vehicle AP group 1 is the thin AP mode.
Taking the vehicle-mounted AP1 as an example, the AC issues the association instruction 1 to a trackside AP (for example, trackside AP 1) that establishes a Mesh connection with the vehicle-mounted AP 1.
The trackside AP1, after receiving the association instruction 1, forwards the association instruction 1 to the vehicle-mounted AP with which the Mesh connection is established.
The subsequent vehicle-mounted AP1 receives the association instruction 1, and then initiates an association procedure to the AC through the Mesh link established with the trackside AP1, that is, the vehicle-mounted AP1 establishes a CAPWAP tunnel with the AC through the Mesh link established with the trackside AP 1. The specific association procedure is prior art and will not be described in detail here.
Next, after the vehicle-mounted AP1 associates with itself, the AC sends a query request for querying the version number of the version of the vehicle-mounted AP1 to the vehicle-mounted AP1 through the trackside AP 1; subsequently, when a query response of the version number of the version of the vehicle-mounted AP1, which is sent by the vehicle-mounted AP1 through the trackside AP1, is received, the version number of the version of the vehicle-mounted AP1 is obtained from the query response, and whether the obtained version number of the version of the vehicle-mounted AP is inconsistent with the version number of the version of the AC is judged; if the judgment result is negative, the AC issues the version of the AC to the vehicle-mounted AP1 through the trackside AP1, and the vehicle-mounted AP1 carries out version upgrading based on the version of the AC.
After the version of the vehicle-mounted AP1 is updated, the AC is re-associated to the AC through the trackside AP, whether the configuration information corresponding to the vehicle-mounted AP group 1 is locally stored is judged, and if the judgment result is yes, the configuration information is also issued to the vehicle-mounted AP1 through the trackside AP1, and the vehicle-mounted AP1 updates the local configuration information based on the configuration information.
That is, once the in-vehicle APs in the in-vehicle AP group 1 are associated with the AC, the AC can manage the in-vehicle APs like managing the existing trackside APs without requiring management and maintenance of the in-vehicle APs by an administrator.
Further, in the embodiment of the present application, after the on-board AP associates to the AC through the trackside AP with which the on-board AP establishes a Mesh connection, the following operations may be further performed:
if the version number of the acquired version of the vehicle-mounted AP is consistent with the version number of the target version and the configuration information is locally stored, the configuration information is issued to the vehicle-mounted AP through the trackside AP so that the vehicle-mounted AP can update the local configuration information based on the configuration information.
In addition, if the AC determines that the version number of the acquired version of the vehicle-mounted AP is identical to the version number of the target version and no configuration information is stored locally, the AC does not perform any operation in this case.
Still further, in the embodiment of the present application, after the on-board AP associates to the AC through the trackside AP with which the on-board AP establishes a Mesh connection, the following operations may be further performed:
after the vehicle-mounted AP is successfully associated to the AC through the trackside AP which is connected with the vehicle-mounted AP through the Mesh, a working mode changing instruction for indicating the vehicle-mounted AP to change the working mode of the vehicle-mounted AP into a thin AP mode is sent to the vehicle-mounted AP through the trackside AP, so that the vehicle-mounted AP changes the working mode of the vehicle-mounted AP into the thin AP mode according to the working mode changing instruction.
By executing the above operation flow, the vehicle-mounted APs in the vehicle-mounted AP group may no longer operate in the fat AP mode but operate in the thin AP mode, in which case the vehicle-mounted APs may be deployed by an administrator in the subway vehicle section location as trackside APs, or may be deployed by an administrator in other locations.
In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, after the on-board AP associates to the AC through the trackside AP with which the on-board AP establishes a Mesh connection, the following operations may be further performed:
after the vehicle-mounted AP is successfully associated to the AC through the trackside AP which establishes Mesh connection with the vehicle-mounted AP, if the association instruction is detected to be deleted by an administrator, the disassociation operation is carried out on the vehicle-mounted AP through the trackside AP.
By executing the operation flow, the AC can flexibly manage the vehicle-mounted APs in the vehicle-mounted AP group. Here, the administrator may delete the above-mentioned association instruction according to the actual demand.
In this operation flow, when the AC executes the disassociation operation on the vehicle-mounted AP through the trackside AP, the specific implementation process is as follows: the AC disconnects the CAPWAP tunnel established by the vehicle-mounted AP and the AC by using the trackside AP.
According to the technical scheme, in the embodiment of the application, an administrator does not need to manually manage the vehicle-mounted APs working in the fat AP mode in the metro vehicle section, the AC actively notifies the vehicle-mounted APs in the local configuration vehicle-mounted AP group that the working modes are the fat AP mode through the relevant trackside APs instead of the association instruction input by the administrator, and the vehicle-mounted APs are associated with the AC through the relevant trackside APs, so that the vehicle-mounted APs are managed by the AC, and the labor cost is greatly saved.
Based on the same inventive concept, the present application further provides an AP management device, where the device is applied to an AC, and a schematic structural diagram of the AP management device is shown in fig. 2, and specifically includes:

after the version of the vehicle-mounted AP is updated and then re-associated to the AC through the trackside AP, if the configuration information corresponding to the vehicle-mounted AP group is locally stored, the configuration information is issued to the vehicle-mounted AP through the trackside AP so that the vehicle-mounted AP updates the local configuration information based on the configuration information.
