Abstract: This application discloses a roaming steering method, an apparatus, a device, a storage medium, and a system. In this application, a reference roaming steering condition is determined by an access control device by performing, for a plurality of times, a roaming steering test on one or more terminals belonging to a reference model, and the reference model is a model of a target terminal. Therefore, the reference roaming steering condition is similar to a roaming rule in the target terminal. In this case, when a first access point device obtains the reference roaming steering condition and determines that the target terminal satisfies the reference roaming steering condition, even if the target terminal does not unconditionally obey roaming steering of the first access point device, there is a high probability that the target terminal is successfully steered to roam.

Abstract: In a terminal roaming steering method, a steering protocol supported by a terminal and a second AP are determined, and the terminal is steered, based on the steering protocol supported by the terminal, to roam from a first AP to the second AP.

Abstract: Embodiments of this application disclose a group-based calibration method and device. The method includes: A control device that obtains path loss data of a wireless access point AP set, where the AP set includes a plurality of APs, and the path loss data includes a path loss between any two of the plurality of APs. The control device obtains a first calibration group based on the path loss data, and sends first calibration information to a management AP of the first calibration group, where the management AP of the first calibration group is an AP that performs calibration management in the first calibration group. By implementing the foregoing method, the control device may divide a plurality of APs into a plurality of calibration groups based on path loss data between the APs, to decrease a coupling degree between the calibration groups.

The method includes: obtaining, by a handover device, a distance between a terminal and a current access point, to determine a change trend of the distance between the terminal and the current access point; and if the handover device determines, based on a correspondence between the change trend and a neighboring access point of the current access point, a target access point to which the terminal is to be handed over, handing over, by the handover device, the terminal from the current access point to the target access point. Forgoing solution is applied to a scenario in which a terminal is handed over and roams between Wi-Fi networks on a highway.

Abstract: A method, an apparatus, and a system for quality of service (QoS) parameter configuration in a wireless local area network (WLAN), where the method includes sending, by a network device, a default first QoS parameter set to a terminal, sending, by the network device, a QoS parameter set modification message including a second QoS parameter set to the terminal, where the second QoS parameter set is different from the first QoS parameter set, and the QoS parameter set modification message is a unicast beacon frame or an active probe response frame. In this way, the second QoS parameter set different from the first QoS parameter set is sent to the terminal using the unicast beacon frame or the active probe response frame, which ensures that the network device dynamically adjusts a QoS parameter set of the terminal on a per terminal basis, thereby improving data transmission efficiency and user experience.

Abstract: A method, a network adapter, a host system, and a network device for implementing a network adapter offload function. If a data packet received by the network adapter or the host system is a data packet unknown to the network adapter, the data packet unknown to the network adapter is parsed, a new policy entry is generated, and the new policy entry is updated into the host policy table and the network adapter policy table. Therefore, for a packet that includes a new proprietary or standard protocol header Tag, only a functional module that parses the packet needs to be updated, so that the functional module is capable of processing such a packet and delivering a new policy entry to the host policy table and the network adapter policy table and the network adapter does not need to be changed.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention disclose a linkage policy implementation method, which includes: receiving, by a linkage proxy module, a linkage policy request delivered by a third-party application service; calling a corresponding protocol converter according to a protocol identifier in the linkage policy request, and performing protocol conversion for the linkage policy request to convert it into a linkage policy request in a set protocol format; and sending the protocol-converted linkage policy request to a linkage client to instruct the linkage client to parse the linkage policy request based on the set protocol and execute linkage policy configuration. With the present invention, a linkage proxy is set to execute protocol conversion of various protocols. Therefore, the cost of the linkage client would not be increased for supporting multiple protocols; and when third-party applications are increased or decreased, it is unnecessary to reconfigure the linkage client.
