Abstract:
1. A distributional optimizing method for configuring a wireless distribution system network, the method comprising: notifying all nodes by broadcasting to adjust to a same channel by a root node of the wireless distribution system network; sending an optimize data to all the nodes by the root node, and after all of the nodes have received the optimize data, the nodes continuing to broadcast the optimize data with their own information added to successive nodes thereof; after a given time, stopping sending the optimize data and the information added, and selecting a parent node they belong to based on the received optimize data and information added; and performing a joining procedure, to join into the wireless distribution system network architecture under the root directory, wherein the joining procedure is a process of joining a joining node into a target node, the process comprising: sending a connect request signal by the joining node to the target node; selecting an available link by the target node if the target node has at least one or more available links, assigning the selected link to the joining node and then sending a connect acknowledge signal to the joining node; sending a channel assign request by the joining node to the target node, requesting the target node to assign a channel to the joining node; selecting an available channel by the target node and sending a channel reset signal to the joining node, and storing a media access control (MAC) address of the joining node into an internal table of the target node; and after the joining node receives the channel reset signal, storing a MAC address of the target node into an internal table of the joining node, and configuring the channel of the assigned link, wherein if the target node has no available link to be assigned to the joining node, a ConnectRes(Fail) signal is sent by the target node to the joining node, and the target node and the joining node cannot communicate with each other.
