An Enhanced TR-069 Firmware Upgrade Method of Wi-Fi Mesh System

Abstract

The TR-069 standard technology is a widely used remote management technology for operators to support IAD equipment. With the popularity of Wi-Fi technology, operators have begun to provide Wi-Fi connectivity service when deploying the consumer home network. For the increase of network equipment, consumers' demand for wireless local area networks has been increasing, and has begun to require seamless coverage without losing connectivity. Wi-Fi Mesh technology has emerged. Compared with traditional IAD devices, Wi-Fi Mesh devices have features such as non-fixed location, random connection, dynamic topology, and multi-hop. The traditional TR-069 Firmware Upgrade technology on the Wi-Fi Mesh devices for keeping the version of Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) devices consistent is obviously insufficient. The purpose of this paper is to propose an improved method to ensure the consistency and stability of the Wi-Fi Mesh system.
