Abstract
A method for a mobile terminal accessing wireless access points and a wireless access point are disclosed. The method includes: after acquiring an access request of a mobile station, when determining that its load exceeds a preset first load upper limit, according to acquired connection information of other wireless access points, a first wireless access point sends a load balance request to all the other wireless access points; a wireless access point receiving the request sends a load balance feedback message to the first wireless access point, carrying its load and connection authentication information required; the first wireless access point selects a load balance feedback message carrying a minimum load from all received messages, and then sends the connection authentication information carried in the selected message to the mobile station; and the mobile station initiates an access flow to a corresponding wireless access point according to the received information.
