Description

Heterogeneous network uplink competition access method based on optical communication VLC
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of optical communication, relates to an MAC layer competition access mechanism, in particular to an uplink competition access method of a heterogeneous network based on optical communication VLC, and is suitable for an indoor visible light heterogeneous communication network.
Background
Optical Communication (Optical Communication) is a Communication method using light waves as carriers, and mainly includes Communication technologies such as Optical fibers, indoor visible light, and wireless light. In recent years, with the rapid development of solid-state lighting technology, white Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) have been widely used. Visible Light Communication (VLC) based on white light LEDs has attracted attention of numerous organizations and scholars as an emerging wireless communication technology. VLC is a communication mode in which light in the visible light band is used as an information carrier, and light signals are directly transmitted in the air without a transmission medium such as an optical fiber or other wired channels, combines illumination and communication, adds a data transmission function to an illumination facility, and transmits information by high-speed bright and dark flashing of a light source. VLC utilizes visible light spectrum which is higher than 3THz and still belongs to blank spectrum, and is not limited by use license; visible light cannot penetrate through a building wall, visible light signals in mutually adjacent closed units cannot interfere with each other, and safety and confidentiality are good; VLC transceiver equipment is simple and low in cost; the visible light wavelength belongs to submicron level, and has obvious advantages in accurate direction positioning; VLC can replace the application of radio in certain specific situations where electromagnetic interference is sensitive, such as airplanes, hospitals, nuclear power plants or oil drilling, etc. The advantages make VLC a brand-new broadband access mode for indoor wireless communication networks.
In practical application, if VLC is used as a single wireless communication mode, there are many defects that a light link is easily blocked, a multipath effect is obvious, an uplink communication link is difficult to implement, an LED modulation bandwidth is limited, background light interference is serious, a communication distance is short, and the like. Therefore, more and more researchers are trying to implement heterogeneous convergence of VLC and various communication modes to construct a network system with large system capacity, fast data transmission rate, low access delay, high reliability, high security, support of dense access, and flexible architecture. Infrared technology is a mature communication technology, although the communication distance is only a few meters, infrared light is a communication medium with many advantages, and the infrared technology is small in size and low in cost, is very suitable for being heterogeneous with VLC, and avoids the problem of mutual interference of an uplink and a downlink. Usually, two infrared devices must be directly butted on a sight line to exchange data, and similar to visible light, infrared light can not penetrate through a building wall, so that the transmission safety and the consistency with VLC are ensured.
Visible light has a broadcast nature and is suitable for downlink, and infrared communication generally has the characteristics of point-to-point communication and is therefore suitable for uplink. The beam of the infrared light is narrow, the alignment angle is about 15 degrees, so that the communication range of the infrared light is small, namely the monitoring range is small, when one device occupies the infrared channel, other devices cannot monitor the infrared channel, namely the busy and idle conditions of the infrared channel cannot be detected. The existing infrared uplink contention window CWi is as follows:
CWi=CW+4i,i=0,1,2,...m
where i is the backoff order, CW is the initialized backoff window and CWminWhen CW is 8, m is the backoff order corresponding to the maximum backoff window, CWmax256, i.e., m 62.
The existing contention window is slow in growth speed, when the number of mobile terminals is large, the probability of collision is large, the backoff order is high, and the network delay is large.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to provide a heterogeneous network uplink competition access method based on optical communication VLC, which reduces network delay and data packet retransmission probability and is characterized by comprising the following steps:
1) creating a beacon frame applied to the visible light heterogeneous network: periodically broadcasting a beacon frame containing infrared receiver Busy and idle information IR _ Busy by a visible light signal transmitter of a visible light access point AP;
2) detecting and extracting infrared channel busy and idle information: the method comprises the steps that a visible light receiver of the mobile terminal periodically detects a beacon frame and extracts infrared channel Busy and idle information IR _ Busy in the beacon frame in real time;
3) judging whether the infrared channel is busy or idle: when the IR _ Busy field shows Busy, the current mobile terminal needs to wait and continues to monitor the IR _ Busy information; when the IR _ Busy field is idle, the current mobile terminal needs to execute a nonlinear back-off algorithm and set a back-off timer according to the current contention window;
4) in the process of executing back-off by the mobile terminal, continuously monitoring infrared channel Busy and idle information IR _ Busy: when the IR _ Busy shows idle, the back-off timer performs self-subtraction every other time slot; when the IR _ Busy indicates Busy, the back-off timer stops self-decrementing;
5) requesting for access: when the value of the backoff timer is reduced to 0, the infrared transmitter of the mobile terminal immediately sends an access request frame; after receiving an access request frame sent by a mobile terminal, a visible light AP infrared receiver sends an access request response frame to a target mobile terminal through a visible light channel by a visible light emitter;
6) and (3) sending data: if the visible light receiver of the mobile terminal receives the corresponding access request response frame, the data frame is sent by the infrared transmitter through the infrared channel; after receiving the corresponding data frame, the visible light AP infrared receiver sends a data confirmation frame to the target mobile terminal through the visible light channel by the visible light emitter, and executes the step (7); otherwise, judging that collision occurs, the mobile terminal needs to execute the back-off algorithm again, and retransmits the access request frame, and returns to the execution step (4);
7) and completing access: and the mobile terminal receives the corresponding data confirmation frame, the access is successful, and the one-time access of the heterogeneous network uplink competition based on the optical communication VLC is realized.
The competition access method is improved on the basis of the existing advanced infrared carrier sense collision avoidance protocol, realizes uplink competition access of the mobile terminal in a heterogeneous network based on optical communication VLC, enlarges the virtual carrier sense range of uplink infrared communication of the mobile terminal, reduces network transmission delay, reduces the retransmission probability of data packets and improves the channel utilization rate.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the following advantages:

Secondly, because the alignment angle of the infrared communication is very small, and the monitoring range of the mobile terminal on the infrared channel is very small, the invention adds the busy and idle information of the infrared channel into the visible light beacon frame and effectively enlarges the virtual carrier monitoring range of the mobile terminal on the uplink infrared communication through periodic broadcasting.
Thirdly, because the existing infrared communication adopts a linear back-off algorithm, the contention window is small, the growth speed is slow, the network delay is large, and the data retransmission rate is high, the invention improves the back-off algorithm of the infrared communication, adopts a nonlinear back-off function, improves the growth speed of the contention window, reduces the network delay, and reduces the data packet retransmission probability.
