Description

Method and device for transmitting wake-up frame in wireless local area network

Technical field

The embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of wireless network technologies, and in particular, to a method and an apparatus for transmitting a wake-up frame in a wireless local area network.

Background technique

In a Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) network, a considerable part of the energy of the device is wasted in the idle listening mode. The current traditional 802.11 protocol (802.11 b/a/g/n/ac, etc.) is related to the solution. The solution focuses on optimizing the device sleep strategy. In addition to optimizing the sleep strategy, another technical way to reduce the waste of device idle listening energy is to use Low Power Wake Up Receiver (LP-WUR) (herein referred to as WUR). The core idea is that the receiving device (such as STA) includes a new low-power wake-up receiver (WUR) part, in addition to the traditional 802.11 main radio (802.11 main radio, 802.11 main transceiver module, WiFi main transceiver module), as shown in Figure 3. As shown, when the 802.11 master transceiver module enters deep sleep, the low-power WUR wake-up begins to work. If other devices (the AP on the left side of the figure) need to communicate with the device with the WUR and 802.11 primary transceiver module (the STA on the right side in the figure), the AP first sends a WUR Wake Up Packet (WUP) to the WUR. After the WUR correctly receives the WUP sent to itself, it wakes up the STA's 802.11 master transceiver module and then goes to sleep itself. The AP communicates with the awake 802.11 master transceiver module. When the 802.11 main transceiver module communicates with the AP, it will go to sleep. At the same time, the WUR wakes up and starts to listen to whether there is a WUP sent to itself to wake up the 802.11 main transceiver module.

The technology uses a low-power WUR instead of the 802.11 main transceiver module to listen to the channel when the medium is idle (the power consumption of the WUR listening/receiving state is expected to be about 0.1 to 1% of the 802.11 main transceiver module, that is, less than 100 uW). Can effectively reduce the waste of energy when the device idle listening.

802.11ax introduces Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) technology to achieve point-to-multipoint simultaneous transmission. The AP can simultaneously transmit different data signals to multiple sites on multiple orthogonal subchannels. In addition, multiple sites can simultaneously transmit data signals to the AP through multiple orthogonal subchannels.

However, it is not proposed how to design the wake-up frame structure and content, so that it not only has a single-site wake-up function, but also has a multi-site simultaneous wake-up function to meet the needs of 11ax multi-site simultaneous transmission.

detailed description

The embodiments of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

The embodiment of the present invention can be applied to a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN). Currently, the standard adopted by the WLAN is the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) 802.11 series. The WLAN may include a plurality of basic service sets BSS, and the network nodes in the basic service set are sites, and the stations include access point-type sites (Access Point, AP) and non-access point-type sites (English: None Access Point Station, referred to as : Non-AP STA), each basic service set may contain one AP and multiple Non-AP STAs associated with the AP.

Access point class sites, also known as wireless access points or hotspots. The AP is an access point for mobile users to enter the wired network. It is mainly deployed in the home, inside the building, and inside the campus. The typical coverage radius is tens of meters to hundreds of meters. Of course, it can also be deployed outdoors. An AP is equivalent to a bridge connecting a wired network and a wireless network. Its main function is to connect the wireless network clients together and then connect the wireless network to the Ethernet. Specifically, the AP may be a terminal device or a network device with a WiFi (English: Wireless Fidelity) chip. Optionally, the AP may be a device supporting the 802.11ax system. Further, the AP may be a device supporting multiple WLAN technologies such as 802.11ac, 802.11n, 802.11g, 802.11b, and 802.11a.

A non-access point class (English: None Access Point Station, referred to as Non-AP STA), which can be a wireless communication chip, a wireless sensor, or a wireless communication terminal. For example: mobile phone supporting WiFi communication function, tablet computer supporting WiFi communication function, set-top box supporting WiFi communication function, smart TV supporting WiFi communication function, smart wearable device supporting WiFi communication function, and vehicle communication supporting WiFi communication function Devices and computers that support WiFi communication. Optionally, the STA can support the 802.11ax system. Further optionally, the station supports multiple WLAN systems such as 802.11ac, 802.11n, 802.11g, 802.11b, and 802.11a.

With the evolution of the WLAN standard for wireless LANs, the IEEE 802.11 working group is preparing for the research and development of the 802.11 standard with low power Wake Up Receiver (LP-WUR) as the core technology to reduce power consumption. The 802.11 standard was established in June 2016 in the IEEE (Study Group, Learning Group). It is expected that the TG (Task Group) will be established by the end of 2016. The project is referred to as WUR.

In a WiFi network, a considerable part of the energy of the device is wasted in the idle listening mode. The related solutions in the current traditional 802.11 protocol (802.11 b/a/g/n/ac, etc.) focus on optimizing the device sleep strategy. As shown in the first timeline of Figure 2, when the device (such as workstation, STA, Station) has no messaging (such as No data phase), if the continuous listening channel (ie idle listening) will consume considerable energy. Therefore, the Sleep Schedule is introduced in the second time axis of FIG. 2, so that the STA can enter Deep Sleep when there is no data transmission and reception, so as to reduce the energy consumption of the continuous idle listening. However, when the STA is in deep sleep, the AP cannot communicate with the STA, and only after the STA wakes up can the transmission be between the two, which may cause a certain delay. In order to avoid the high latency caused by the dormancy mechanism, the STA usually wakes up from time to time to check whether there is data to receive, but this reduces the sleep efficiency of the STA (from time to time but no useful data needs to be sent and received, longer) Time sleep consumes more energy).

In addition to optimizing the dormancy strategy, another technical way to reduce the waste of device idle listening energy is to use LP-WUR (herein referred to as WUR). The core idea is that the receiving device (such as STA) includes a new low-power wake-up receiver (WUR) part, in addition to the traditional 802.11 main radio (802.11 main radio, 802.11 main transceiver module, WiFi main transceiver module), as shown in Figure 3. As shown, when the 802.11 master transceiver module enters deep sleep, the low-power WUR wake-up begins to work. If other devices (such as the AP on the left side of the figure) need to communicate with devices with WUR and 802.11 master transceiver modules (STAs on the right side in the figure), the AP first sends WUR wake-up frames (WUP, Wake Up Packet) to WUR. After the WUR correctly receives the WUP sent to itself, it wakes up the STA's 802.11 master transceiver module and then goes to sleep itself. The AP communicates with the awake 802.11 master transceiver module. When the 802.11 main transceiver module communicates with the AP, it will go to sleep. At the same time, the WUR wakes up and starts to listen to whether there is a WUP sent to itself to wake up the 802.11 main transceiver module.

In order to achieve low power consumption, WUR needs to be simpler and less complicated in terms of circuit structure and frame structure design (such as WUP). For example, the WUR circuit structure may only include energy detection and radio frequency (RF) components, so it is impossible to demodulate some complex modulation methods. For this reason, the WUP may adopt a simple On-Off Keying (OOK) modulation method or Frequency Shift Keying (FSK).

A possible WUP frame structure is shown in Figure 9. The front is Legacy 802.11 preamble (traditional 802.11 preamble), which can be understood by other 802.11 devices in the vicinity (the peripheral 802.11 device that hears the pilot does not preempt the channel for a period of time). ), used to protect subsequent parts of the wake-up frame from interference by traditional 802.11 devices. The part of the payload (payload) of the WUP is OOK modulation, which can only be understood by WUR. This part may include Wake-Up Preamble (for identifying WUP signals), MAC Header (including WUR ID for distinguishing different WURs), frame body (frame carrier, which can carry some other information), FCS (Frame) Check Sequence, a frame check sequence, is used to ensure that the received data is the same as the data sent. Here, the WUR ID information may be a partial or complete site association identifier, or an identifier of the WUR to which the AP allocates the site, or a receiving MAC address of the site. Or partially receive the MAC address, or other information that can distinguish the WUR of different sites. In addition, the WUR payload portion may be narrowband transmission, that is, different from the 802.11 conventional preamble transmitted based on the 20M bandwidth for the basic unit, for example, the narrowband may be 1M, 2M, 4M, 8M, 16M, and the like. The WUR payload portion can also be based on a 20M bandwidth based transmission.

Figure 10 shows another possible WUP frame structure, which includes an 802.11 legacy preamble, a wake-up preamble, and a signaling field (used to carry some physical layer signaling, such as AP identity, WUR ID, modulation and coding indication, etc.) , MAC header, frame body, frame check sequence.

802.11ax introduces OFDMA technology to achieve point-to-multipoint simultaneous transmission. The AP can simultaneously transmit different data signals to multiple sites on multiple orthogonal subchannels, that is, downlink OFDMA. In addition, multiple stations can simultaneously transmit data signals to the AP through multiple orthogonal subchannels, that is, uplink OFDMA.

The embodiment of the invention mainly designs the structure and content of the wake-up frame, so that it has the multi-site simultaneous wake-up function, and satisfies the requirement of simultaneous transmission of 802.11ax multi-site. In addition, the wake-up frame still has a single-site wake-up function. At the same time, the wake-up frame also includes a receiving operation mode indication or a receiving operation mode request indication of a main transceiver (such as an 802.11 main transceiver module) to be woken up.

Referring to FIG. 1 , a schematic diagram of a typical WLAN deployment scenario includes an AP and three STAs associated with the AP, and the AP can communicate with STA1, STA2, and STA3, respectively. It should be noted that each STA may include the structure shown in FIG. 3, that is, the 802.11 main transceiver module and the LP-WUR module are simultaneously included, and the LP-WUR module is configured to receive the wake-up frame sent by the AP and to the 802.11 main transceiver module. wake.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the AP sends a wake-up frame to at least one STA associated with the AP, such as sending a wake-up frame to at least one of STA1, STA2, and STA3 in FIG. 1, and the wake-up frame is further used to indicate at least one that is awakened. The receiving parameters of the master transceiver module of a station after being woken up from the sleep state, such as the receiving mode indication, the time indication of being woken up, and the like. When the STA's main transceiver module is woken up, it can communicate with the AP. It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the fact that the AP sends the wake-up frame to the non-AP STA, or the non-AP STA sends the wake-up frame to the AP. The following embodiment takes an example in which an AP sends a wake-up frame to a non-AP STA.

A method for transmitting a wake-up frame in a wireless local area network according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG.

For example, the specified time may be the time difference of the time relative to the beacon frame transmission.

Optionally, the receiving parameter may further include a time when the primary transceiver module returns to the sleep state and/or a preset identifier corresponding to a time when the primary transceiver module returns to the sleep state. The time when the primary transceiver module returns to the sleep state means that the station returns to the sleep state at the specified time. For example, the specified time may be the time difference of the transmission time relative to the beacon frame.
