  • Patent number: 9750040
    Abstract: A method for sending a wireless packet is described. A signal strength of a client is acquired. A priority queue to which the client belongs is set according to the signal strength of the client. A priority of a wireless packet to be sent to the client is set according to the priority queue so as to send the set wireless packet. In the meanwhile, a device for sending a wireless packet is also described. The disclosure can be utilized to put a wireless packet sent to a remote client (STA) having a weak signal into a low priority service queue and put a wireless packet sent to a close STA having a strong signal strength into a high priority service queue, so as to ensure data transmission of the close STA having a good signal and reduce the impact of the remote STA having a weak signal on the performance of the whole wireless network, thus improving reasonable allocation of wireless network resources and the Quality of Service (QoS) of the wireless network to further improve the satisfaction of user experience.
