Description

Communication method, device and storage medium The present application claims priority from chinese patent application No. 202411567458.5 entitled "communication method, apparatus and storage medium" filed on month 11 and 4 of 2024, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. In addition, the present application claims priority from chinese patent application No. 202510049437.2, entitled "communication method, apparatus, and storage medium," filed on 1 month 9 of 2025, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field The present application relates to the field of communications, and in particular, to a communication method, apparatus, and storage medium. Background The wireless local area network may include a plurality of access points, and the coverage of the wireless local area network includes the coverage of the plurality of access points. The plurality of access points have roaming capabilities and are capable of providing roaming Services To Stations (STAs) within the coverage area of the wireless local area network. Within the coverage of the wireless local area network, the STA may move, possibly from the coverage of the first access point currently accessed to the coverage of the second access point, at which time the second access point may provide roaming services to the STA based on its own roaming capabilities through which the STA communicates with the STA. However, access points in wireless local area networks provide poor roaming performance. Disclosure of Invention The application provides a communication method, a device and a storage medium, which are used for improving roaming performance. The technical scheme is as follows: in a first aspect, the application provides a communication method applied to a master access point of a communication system, the method comprises the steps of receiving a roaming start operation command, determining whether the access point in the communication system meets a roaming start condition or not based on the roaming start operation command, and sending a first configuration parameter to a slave access point in the communication system when the access point in the communication system meets the roaming start condition, wherein the first configuration parameter is used for carrying out roaming configuration from the access point. And under the condition that the access point in the communication system meets the roaming opening condition, sending a first configuration parameter to a slave access point in the communication system, and carrying out roaming configuration by the slave access point based on the first configuration parameter, so that the slave access points in the communication system can carry out roaming configuration based on the first configuration parameter uniformly obtained by the master access point, and the roaming functions of the slave access points in the communication system are kept consistent. This allows another slave access point to quickly establish a connection with and communicate with the station as the station roams from one slave access point to another, thereby improving roaming performance. In one possible implementation, determining whether an access point in a communication system satisfies a roaming on condition based on a roaming on operation command includes obtaining first capability information of the access point in the communication system based on the roaming on operation command, the first capability information describing roaming capabilities of the access point, and determining whether the access point in the communication system satisfies the roaming on condition based on the first capability information. Since the first capability information describes the first roaming capability of the access point, it can be accurately determined whether the access point satisfies the roaming start condition. In one possible implementation, the method further includes performing roaming configuration at the primary access point based on the first configuration parameter. In this way, the master access point and the slave access point in the communication system are configured based on the first configuration parameter, so that the roaming function of the access point in the communication system is kept consistent. In one possible implementation, the method further includes acquiring a first configuration parameter based on the first capability information. In this way, the first configuration parameter can be accurately obtained. In one possible implementation, the first capability information includes one or more of a wireless mode supported by the access point, an encrypted mode supported by the access point, or a channel range of the access point. So that the first capability information may accurately describe the first roaming capability. In one possible implementation, the first configuration parameters include one or more of identification information of
