FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic view of an operating environment of embodiments of wireless communication devices 10a-10d. In this embodiment, the wireless communication devices 10a-10d communicate with each other via wireless network. The wireless communication devices 10a-10d are configured as access devices providing wireless network service for a client terminal 30, and these are grouped into a wireless network group (wireless network group 100). The client terminal 30 selects one of the wireless communication devices 10a-10d according to strength of wireless network signal. The wireless communication devices 10a-10d may be, for example, routers and/or gateways. The wireless communication device 10a which is near to the client terminal 30 also may be a repeater, or configured as a repeater.

In this embodiment, the devices 10a-10d establish a wireless network group 100 on the basis that the devices 10a-10d have the same service set identifier (SSID) and security identifier. The client terminal 30 seeks the fastest access device.

After the wireless network group 100 is established, the devices 10a-10d broadcast information to each other, and calculate time for broadcasting information between two devices 10a-10d. Furthermore, the devices 10a-10d broadcast information to the client terminal 30 regarding time for broadcasting information from each device 10a-10d to the client terminal 30. Finally, one of the device 10a-10d which has shortest broadcasting time is selected as an access device connecting to the client device 30, according to calculated time for broadcasting.

Referring to FIG. 2, an embodiment of function modules of a wireless communication device 10a is shown. In this embodiment, the wireless communication device 10a includes an establishing module 210, a broadcast module 220, a calculation module 230, and a selection module 250.

In the embodiment, the establishing module 210 establishes which of the devices 10a-10d have the same SSID and the security identifier, to be grouped into the wireless network group 100. Two of the devices 10a-10d transmit data according to the pre-defined network group managing protocol (NGMP), wherein the specific NGMP is shown in Table 1.

TABLE 1
NGMP
Data	Transmis-
form	sion mode	Description
Advertise	Broadcast	Predetermined to send, to advertise the hardware
		properties, and the existence of a nearby access
		device.
Pull	Unicast	To request an access device to connect to the
		wireless device
Query	Unicast	After receiving the client's probe request,
		requesting other access devices to monitor the
		client's status
Notify	Unicast	To notify other access devices that the client
		terminal has been connected to them
LqQuery	Unicast	The client terminal having been connected,
		predetermined to send monitored state of the
		client terminal to the other access devices
Change	Unicast	To determine that the client terminal that has
		been connected should connect to other access
		devices.

From the Table 1, the NGMP includes information form, transmission mode, and a corresponding description. Each of the devices 10a-10d can be called an access device. Specifically, transmission mode includes broadcasting and unicasting, data form includes advertising, pulling, querying, notifying, and changing. Different data forms correspond to different descriptions. In general, in the wireless group network, the access device regularly broadcasts own hardware attributes to other access device in the vicinity to indicate its existence and its attributes. When an access device is connected with the client terminal, other access devices are informed that the client terminal has connected to that access device itself, and data as to the monitored state of the client terminal is sent to the other access devices regularly. When a request from the client terminal is received, an access device firstly queries monitored state of the client terminal from the other access devices. When the access device needs to be changed, the change information is broadcast to permit their own client to connect to other access devices.

When the wireless communication device 10a is in the wireless network group 100, the broadcast module 220 broadcasts its own wireless network attributes information to the other devices 10b-10d according to NGMP. Furthermore, the broadcast module 220 will broadcast its own wireless network attributes information to the client terminal 30. In other words, the wireless communication device 10a in the wireless network group broadcasts its own wireless network attributes information to the other devices 10b-10d which are nearer, to obtain the wireless network attributes information between the wireless network and the other devices 10b-10d, and the monitored status of the client terminal 30. The wireless network attributes information includes the SSID, the security identifier, and stream number.

After broadcasting information, the calculation module 230 calculates the transmission period for transmitting the wireless network attributes information from the wireless communication device 10a to each of the uplink devices of the devices 10b-10d. This transmission period is called the first transmission period. Furthermore, the calculation module 230 calculates the transmission period for transmitting the wireless network attributes information from device 10a to the client terminal 30, and this transmission period is called the second transmission period. In this way, each of the devices 10a-10d knows the transmission period from itself to each uplink device in the devices 10a-10d, and the transmission period from the most downlink device of the wireless communication device 10b to the most uplink device of the wireless communication device 10a can be calculated (wherein the most downlink device of the wireless communication device is the device which is the furthest from the device 10a, and the most uplink device of the wireless communication device is the device which is the nearest from the device 10a, and the most downlink device and the most uplink device are the uplink devices of the device 10a). Wherein the most uplink device of the wireless communication device 10a may be, for example, gateways or/and routers, and the most downlink device of the wireless communication device 10b may be a repeater, or configured as a repeater, which has the shortest distance from the client terminal 30.

For example, the wireless network group 100 may have two of the devices 10a-10d, namely 10a and 10b. The uplink device of the wireless communication device 10a is a gateway, and the downlink device of the wireless communication device 10b is a repeater. The first transmission period calculated by the calculation module is the time for transmitting information from the gateway to the repeater, and the second transmission period is the time for transmitting the information from the repeater to the client terminal 30.

Then, the selection module 250 selects one of the devices 10a-10d in response to the request of the client terminal 30, and selects the device 10b for the client terminal according to the sum of the first transmission period and the second transmission period being the smallest total.

In the embodiment, the calculation module 230 calculates the first transmission period according to first circulation transmission period and first circulation signal transmission rate, wherein the first transmission period equals the first circulation transmission period divided by the first circulation signal transmission rate. The first circulation transmission period is a round-trip transmission period for transmitting the information between device 10a and one of the uplink devices of the other devices 10b-10d; the first circulation signal transmission rate is a single signal transmission rate multiplied by the stream number, and the single signal transmission rate is a signal transmission rate of the device 10a transmitting wireless network attributes information to the uplink device of one of the other devices 10b-10d.

In the embodiment, the calculation module 230 calculates the second transmission period according to second circulation transmission period and second circulation signal transmission rate, wherein the second transmission period equals the second circulation transmission period divided by the second circulation signal transmission rate. The second circulation transmission period is a round-trip transmission period for transmitting the wireless network attributes information from the device 10a to the client terminal 30.

The calculation module 230 detects and monitors received signal strength indication (RSSI) value of the client terminal 30, and calculates a second signal transmission rate according to the relationship between the detected RSSI value and the second signal transmission rate.

In the embodiment, the calculation module 230 comprises a plurality of sub-modules, and, of the sub-modules, a preset sub module 2310, a monitoring sub module 2320, a comparison sub module 2330, and a matching sub module 2340 calculate the relationship between the detected RSSI value and the second signal transmission rate.

The preset sub module 2310 establishes first relationship between the default RSSI value of the client terminal 30 and index values of a Modulation Coding Scheme (MCS).

The monitoring sub module 2320 monitors the RSSI value and the corresponding signal transmission rate of the client terminal 30 in a predetermined period after the client terminal 30 connects to the wireless communication device 10a. A plurality of values of signal transmission rate are obtained in the condition of a single RSSI value, and an average value of the plurality of values of signal transmission rates is calculated, and an index value in the MCS corresponding to that average value is found, to obtain second relationship between the RSSI values and the index values.

The wireless communication device 10a cannot get the signal transmission rate related to the client terminal 30 if the client terminal 30 is not connected with the wireless communication device 10a. Other signal parameters that relate to such a disconnected client terminal 30 must be found to obtain the signal transmission rate.

The comparative sub module 2330 compares the first relationship with the second relationship according to the index value to obtain a larger RSSI value, and makes adjustments based on the best relationship between the larger RSSI value and the index value.

The matching sub module 2340 obtains such best relationship between the detected RSSI values and the second signal transmission rates.

In this way, the signal transmission rate can be obtained by monitoring and calculating the RSSI value of the client terminal 30, FIG. 4 shows a specific example.

FIG. 4 shows a relationship reflecting signal transmission rates matching an RSSI value. In this instance, the index value represents the index value 0 to 7 of the MCS. Different values of the index correspond to different RSSI values and actual RSSI values. FIG. 4 lists three different signal transmission rates, and calculates the average value of the signal transmission rates. The average value corresponds to the actual RSSI value, thus a matching relationship between the rates of the signal transmission and the RSSI value can be found. For matching purposes, the measurements and calculations must be within the network environment of one wireless network group 100. Referring to FIG. 4, the measurements are carried out at the 20 MHz frequency. Other conditions are appropriate to the measurements and calculations.

FIG. 2 shows a client terminal 2 in a roaming state, in an embodiment. When the client terminal 30 is in a roaming state and it detects a new best access device connected to the client terminal 30, the calculation module 230 detects and monitors an RSSI value of the client terminal 30 in the new better access mode and a default RSSI value of the client device terminal in the original best access device, and calculates difference between the default RSSI value and the detected RSSI value.

The selection module 25 configures the client terminal 30 to maintain a connection with the original best access device when the difference is less than a threshold value. The selection module 25 configures the client terminal 30 to connect to the new best access device when the difference is not less than the threshold value.

FIG. 5 shows an embodiment of a wireless communication device selecting the best access device when the client terminal is roaming. In this embodiment, the wireless communication device 10a also comprises a specific repeater a 21, a repeater b 22, and a repeater c 23. When the client terminal 30 is roaming, the best pre-roaming access device was repeater a 21. After the client terminal 30 begins roaming, wireless communication device 10a selects the best access device as being repeater c 23. The calculation module 230 monitors the receiver signal strength of the client terminal 30 between the repeater a 21 and the repeater c 23, and calculates any difference in the RSSI value between the repeater a 21 and the repeater c 23. When such difference between the repeater a 21 and the repeater c 23 is less than the threshold value, the selection module 250 selects repeater a 21 to connect to the client terminal 30. When such difference between the repeater a 21 and the repeater c 23 is not less than the threshold value, the selection module 250 selects the repeater c 23 to connect to the client terminal 30.
