轻型接入点协议（LWAPP）在AP BOOTROM中的实现

伴随更多WLAN厂商迁移到层次化设计并使用轻型接入点构建更大型的网络，利用手工方式实现AP应用软件加载对于网络资源管理来说将是极大的额外负担，因此市场上需要一种能够对轻型接入点应用软件实现动态加载的标准化方式．针对以上问题，通过对集中式网络结构下使用的LWAPP协议及其运行框架的介绍，考虑到能够使用现有LWAPP协议完成空配置AP的软件动态下载过程；随后，为了真正实现AP软件下载，研究了LWAPP协议的运行模型，给出了其在AP BOOTROM（U-BOOT环境）中的实现方案；最后，通过系统测试验证了该解决方案的正确性与可靠性．

The realization of LWAPP in AP BOOTROM

With more WLAN manufacturers shifting to hierarchical design and using lightweight access points to build larger-scale networks, loading the AP application software manually would be a great deal of additional burden for the network resource management, so a standardized way of achieving dynamic loading of the application software with lightweight access points was required on the market. In view of the above question, through the introduction to LWAPP protocol used under the centralized network structure and its operating framework, it was considered that the existing LWAPP protocol could be used to complete the null-configured AP software＇s dynamic downloading process. Subsequently, in order to really achieve AP software downloading, the operation model of the LWAPP protocol was researched, and its implementation program in AP BOOTROM （U-BOOT environment） was given. Finally, the correctness and reliability of the solution were verified through system test.
