Abstract:
1. A method of balancing wireless load, comprising: receiving by an Access Controller (AC) an association request of joining an Access Port (AP) sent by a Station (STA); calculating wireless load of the AP that the STA requests to join; determining whether one or more preset conditions are met, if the one or more present conditions are met, accepting the association request sent by the STA; otherwise, rejecting the association request sent by the STA; and reporting by the AP detected STA information to the AC, wherein determining whether one or more preset conditions are met comprises, calculating wireless loads of other APs that can detect the STA, determining whether differences between the wireless load of the AP that the STA requests to join and the wireless load of each of the other APs that can detect the STA are all smaller than a preset value, if the differences are all smaller than a present value, accepting the association request sent by the STA, otherwise, rejecting the association request sent by the STA, determining whether the wireless load of the AP that the STA requests to join exceeds a preset maximum load, if the wireless load exceeds the preset maximum load, directly rejecting the association request sent by the STA, and if the wireless load does not exceed the preset maximum load,
