Abstract
The present invention relates to a load balancing method for a wireless local area network, which includes the following steps: initializing the load balancing group, self-organizing to select an online access point from the load balancing group as a load balancing agent center, each access point of the said balancing group managing and processing the load balance in accordance with the load level and balance optimizing policy, therefore implements the network load balance. The method of the invention improves reliability of the network load information, presents the load information from invalidly broadcasting in the wireless local area network, therefore reduces the additional overhead for managing the load balance of the wireless network, particularly in the network that having three layers switching equipment, self-organizing to select the agent center can utilize the network resource in effect, therefore managing the dynamic load balance information much more effectively, reducing the dependence on the upper server, and managing the network much more flexibly.
