Abstract

A wireless device snooping method includes: a first wireless device establishing a wireless link connection with a data source end, and generating corresponding wireless link parameter(s); and the first wireless device broadcasting the wireless link parameter(s) to trigger at least one second wireless device to receive the wireless link parameter(s) and snoop the wireless link on the basis of the wireless link parameter(s). In this way, in the present disclosure, the first wireless device transmits the wireless link parameter(s) to at least one second wireless device by means of broadcast, thereby breaking through the limitation in the number of second wireless devices, so that a plurality of second wireless devices simultaneously snoop a wireless link, improving the real-time performance and reliability of transmission.

Claims (57)

1 . A wireless device snooping method, comprising:

establishing, by a first wireless device, a connection of a wireless link with a data source end, and generating a corresponding parameter of the wireless link; and

broadcasting, by the first wireless device, the parameter of the wireless link to trigger at least one second wireless device having no wireless link connection with the data source end to perform:

receiving the parameter of the wireless link; and

snooping the wireless link based on the parameter of the wireless link,

wherein after the first wireless device establishes the connection of the wireless link with the data source end, and before the first wireless device broadcasts the parameter of the wireless link, the method further comprises:

broadcasting, by the first wireless device, first broadcast configuration information, for triggering the at least one second wireless device to:

configure data receiving and sending modes based on the first broadcast configuration information,

wherein the first broadcast configuration information is used for the first wireless device to perform broadcast communication with the at least one second wireless device, and the at least one second wireless device performs broadcast communication with the first wireless device in the data receiving and sending modes.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein:

said establishing, by a first wireless device, the connection of the wireless link with the data source end comprises:

sending, by the first wireless device, a wireless link connection request to the data source end; and

establishing the connection of the wireless link with the data source end when receiving a wireless link connection response fed back by the data source end; or

feeding back, by the first wireless device, a wireless link connection response to the data source end when receiving a wireless link connection request sent by the data source end, for triggering the data source end to establish the connection of the wireless link.

3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein:

said broadcasting, by the first wireless device, the parameter of the wireless link comprises:

encrypting, by the first wireless device, the parameter of the wireless link by using a preset encryption algorithm; and

broadcasting an encrypted parameter of the wireless link; or

broadcasting, by the first wireless device, the parameter of the wireless link directly.

4 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein after the first wireless device broadcasts the parameter of the wireless link, the method further comprises:

receiving, by the first wireless device, service data sent by the data source end; and

triggering the at least one second wireless device to obtain the service data and execute a corresponding instruction based on the service data.

5 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the broadcast communication between the first wireless device and the at least one second wireless device, comprises communication of protocol interaction data for data synchronization and clock synchronization.

6 . A wireless device snooping apparatus, comprising:

a processor;

a memory for storing instructions that can be executed by the processor;

wherein the processor is configured to execute the instructions to implement:

establishing, by a first wireless device, a connection of a wireless link with a data source end, and generating a parameter of the wireless link; and

broadcasting, by the first wireless device, the parameter of the wireless link to trigger at least one second wireless device having no wireless link connection with the data source end to perform:

receiving the parameter of the wireless link; and

snooping the wireless link based on the parameter of the wireless link,

wherein after the first wireless device establishes the connection of the wireless link with the data source end, and before the first wireless device broadcasts the parameter of the wireless link, the processor is configured to execute the instructions to implement:

broadcasting, by the first wireless device, first broadcast configuration information, for triggering the at least one second wireless device to:

configure data receiving and sending modes based on the first broadcast configuration information,

wherein the first broadcast configuration information is used for the first wireless device to perform broadcast communication with the at least one second wireless device, and the at least one second wireless device performs broadcast communication with the first wireless device in the data receiving and sending modes.

7 . The apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein:

the processor is further configured to execute the instructions to implement:

sending, by the first wireless device, a wireless link connection request to the data source end; and

establishing the connection of the wireless link with the data source end when receiving a wireless link connection response fed back by the data source end; or

feeding back, by the first wireless device, a wireless link connection response to the data source end when receiving a wireless link connection request sent by the data source end, for triggering the data source end to establish the connection of the wireless link.

8 . The apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein:

the processor is further configured to execute the instructions to implement:

encrypting, by the first wireless device, the parameter of the wireless link by using a preset encryption algorithm; and

broadcasting an encrypted parameter of the wireless link; or

broadcasting, by the first wireless device, the parameter of the wireless link directly.

9 . The apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the processor is further configured to execute the instructions to implement:

receiving, by the first wireless device, service data sent by the data source end; and

triggering the at least one second wireless device to obtain the service data and execute a corresponding instruction based on the service data.

10 . A non-transitory storage medium, wherein instructions in the storage medium, when executed by a processor, enable the processor to perform a wireless device snooping method, comprising:

establishing, by a first wireless device, a connection of a wireless link with a data source end, and generating a corresponding parameter of the wireless link; and

broadcasting, by the first wireless device, the parameter of the wireless link to trigger at least one second wireless device having no wireless link connection with the data source end to perform:

receiving the parameter of the wireless link; and

snooping the wireless link based on the parameter of the wireless link,

wherein after the first wireless device establishes the connection of the wireless link with the data source end, and before the first wireless device broadcasts the parameter of the wireless link, the method further comprises:

broadcasting, by the first wireless device, first broadcast configuration information, for triggering the at least one second wireless device to:

configure data receiving and sending modes based on the first broadcast configuration information,

wherein the first broadcast configuration information is used for the first wireless device to perform broadcast communication with the at least one second wireless device, and the at least one second wireless device performs broadcast communication with the first wireless device in the data receiving and sending modes.
