Claim:
1. A method for scheduling an access point of a wireless local area network, comprising: receiving, by a first controller, in a current scheduling period of a running state of a network, performance statistical data of a last scheduling period reported by a plurality of access points in a first access point cluster, wherein the first access point cluster comprises the first controller and the plurality of access points connected to the first controller; generating, by the first controller, a scheduling scheme for the plurality of access points for a next scheduling period according to the performance statistical data; and broadcasting, by the first controller, the scheduling scheme for the next scheduling period to the plurality of access points, to enable the plurality of access points to configure, in the current scheduling period, a transmitting parameter for the next scheduling period according to the scheduling scheme and to communicate with a user equipment according to the transmitting parameter in the next scheduling periods; wherein the transmitting parameter comprises an antenna direction, an upper limit of transmitting power, and a clear channel assessment parameter threshold.
