technical field

The present application relates to the field of communication technologies, and more particularly, to a resource scheduling method and apparatus.

Background technique

In the context of the Internet, the broadband market has shown a development trend of 100M popularization and gigabit leading, and wireless fidelity (WiFi) has become a standard interface for home terminal equipment. As more and more terminal devices are connected to WiFi, the services carried by WiFi become diversified. However, performance indicators such as rate and delay required by different types of services may be different. For example, video services may require higher rates, game live streaming services may require lower latency, and so on.

Therefore, it is desirable to provide a method that can reasonably schedule resources for various services.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The embodiments of the present application provide a resource scheduling method and apparatus. When performing resource scheduling, an access point can accurately match service types, and perform resource scheduling based on service requirements of different service types, thereby improving user service experience.

In a first aspect, the present application provides a resource scheduling method, which may be performed by an access point (access point, AP), or may also be performed by a component (such as a chip, a chip system, etc.) deployed in the AP. This embodiment of the present application does not limit this. The following is just an example, and the method provided by the first aspect is described with the AP as the execution body.

Exemplarily, the method includes: the AP receives service information from the first terminal device, where the service information includes the service type of the first service that is using or will use the air interface resources provided by the AP; the AP is based on the service type of the first service. Resource scheduling by business type.

Based on the above technical solution, the AP can determine the service type of the first service being used or about to be used according to the service information reported by the first terminal device, and then can perform resource scheduling according to the service type. That is, the service type is accurately notified to the AP through the reporting method of the terminal device, so that the AP can perform resource scheduling according to the service type. In this way, the AP can reasonably schedule resources based on different service types to meet different demands of different service types, which is beneficial to improve the user's service experience.

With reference to the first aspect, in some possible implementations of the first aspect, the AP performs resource scheduling based on the service type of the first service, including: the AP determines the target parameter of the first service based on the service type of the first service, the The target parameter indicates a service requirement corresponding to the first service; the AP performs resource scheduling based on the target parameter.

The AP may determine a target parameter corresponding to the service type based on the received service type of the first service, and then perform resource scheduling according to the target parameter. Therefore, by expressing the service requirements of different service types through target parameters, the edge AP schedules resources according to the specific parameters.

Optionally, the target parameter includes a target rate, or the target parameter includes a target rate and a target delay.

When the rate meets the business requirements, the delay can usually also meet the business requirements. In other words, when the AP schedules resources for the first service based on the target rate, the scheduled resources can usually reach the target rate and target delay of the first service, thereby meeting service requirements. Therefore, the AP can perform resource scheduling based on the target rate.

Of course, the AP can also perform resource scheduling based on the target rate and the target delay. The resources scheduled by the AP for the first service based on the target rate and the target delay can also enable the first service to reach the target rate and the target delay, thereby meeting the service requirements.

With reference to the first aspect, in some possible implementations of the first aspect, the service information further includes time information of the air interface resource used by the first service; the AP performs resource scheduling based on the service type of the first service, including: the AP Resource scheduling is performed based on the service type of the first service and the time information of the air interface resource used by the first service.

The first terminal device may also send time information on the air interface resources used by the first service to the AP, so that the AP can continuously schedule the first service based on the service type of the first service during the time period when the air interface resources are used by the first service. resource.

Optionally, the time information includes at least the following two items: start time, end time and time length of using air interface resources.

The AP can determine a specific time period for using the air interface resource by using at least two of the start time, end time and time length of the air interface resource, and then continuously schedule resources for the first service within the specific time period.

Optionally, the time information includes: an indication of whether the time for using the air interface resource is repeated periodically.

By carrying the indication of whether to repeat periodically in the service information, it is possible to avoid the operation of repeatedly reporting service information to the AP through the terminal device for the service that is repeated periodically, thereby reducing user operations and saving signaling overhead.

It can be understood that the above time information about a specific time period and the time information about periodic repetition may be used in combination, or may be used alone, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

With reference to the first aspect, in some possible implementations of the first aspect, the service information further includes the service priority of the first service; the AP performs resource scheduling based on the service type of the first service, including: The first service simultaneously uses the second service of the air interface resource; the AP performs resource scheduling based on the service type and service priority of the first service, and the service type and service priority of the second service.

Since the air interface resources provided by the AP may be used by multiple services at the same time, the AP can perform resource scheduling according to the service priority of each service. For example, if the service priority of the first service is higher than the service priority of the second service, the AP can first ensure that the service requirements of the first service are satisfied, for example, the target parameters are satisfied, and then consider the service requirements of the second service, or , the AP can schedule resources for the first service first, and then schedule resources for the second service. Therefore, in the case of insufficient air interface resources, the service requirements of the high-priority services can be preferentially satisfied.

Further, the service information also includes the degree of importance of the terminal equipment corresponding to the first service; the AP is based on the service type and service priority of the first service, and the service type and service priority of the second service, which are the first service and the service priority. The second service scheduling resource includes: when the service priorities of the first service and the second service are the same, the AP is based on the service type of the first service, the importance of the corresponding terminal equipment, and the service of the second service. The type and the importance of the corresponding terminal equipment are used for resource scheduling.

Here, the terminal device corresponding to the first service may specifically refer to a terminal device that runs the first service, plays the first service, and the like. In other words, the terminal device can be used for functions such as running and playing the first service. Therefore, the terminal device corresponding to the first service may or may not be the first terminal device. This embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

Since the air interface resources provided by the AP may also be used by multiple services with the same service priority at the same time, the AP can further perform resource scheduling according to the importance of the terminal equipment corresponding to each service. For example, if the service priority of the first service is the same as the service priority of the second service, but the importance of the terminal equipment corresponding to the first service is higher than that of the second service, the AP can prioritize the services of the first service Resource scheduling is carried out according to the type to first meet the business requirements of the first business. Alternatively, the AP may schedule resources for the first service first, and then schedule resources for the second service. In this way, in the case of insufficient air interface resources, the service requirements of the services corresponding to the terminal equipment with high importance can be preferentially satisfied.

The AP sends the configuration information of each service to the first terminal device, so that the user can observe the real-time rate, real-time delay of each service, and whether it can meet the service requirements and other information in real time. Improve user experience.

With reference to the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, the method further includes: when the AP detects that any service is interrupted, or detects that any terminal device is offline, releasing the interrupted Air interface resources occupied by services.

Since the released air interface resources are used for other services, idle resources can be avoided, resource utilization can be improved, and at the same time, the service requirements of other services can be guaranteed.

With reference to the second aspect, in some possible implementations of the second aspect, the service information further includes time information of the air interface resource used by the first service.

It should be understood that the time information of the air interface resources used by the first service can be used to determine the time period during which the first service uses the air interface resources, so that the AP can call resources for the first service in the corresponding time period.

With reference to the second aspect, in some possible implementation manners of the second aspect, the service information further includes a service priority of the first service.

It should be understood that the service priority of the first service may facilitate resource scheduling by the AP. The AP may perform resource scheduling based on the received service type of the first service and in combination with the service priority of the first service.

Detailed ways

The technical solutions in the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application can be applied to a wireless local area network (wireless local area network, WLAN) communication system.

The access point (access point, AP) in this embodiment of the present application may also be referred to as a wireless access point or a hotspot. APs are access points for mobile users to access wired networks. They are mainly deployed in homes, buildings, and campuses, and can also be deployed outdoors. AP is equivalent to a bridge connecting wired network and wireless network. Its main function is to connect various wireless network clients together, and then connect the wireless network to Ethernet. Specifically, the AP may be a network device with a WiFi chip. Optionally, the AP may be a device supporting the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.11 series of standards.

The terminal device in this embodiment of the present application specifically refers to a station (station, STA) that can access the AP. Terminal devices in the embodiments of the present application may include, but are not limited to, mobile phones, tablet computers, wearable devices, in-vehicle devices, augmented reality (AR)/virtual reality (VR) devices, notebook computers, and personal computers (personal computer, PC), ultra-mobile personal computer (ultra-mobile personal computer, UMPC), netbook, personal digital assistant (personal digital assistant, PDA), distributed equipment, printers, etc. This embodiment of the present application does not make any limitation on the specific type of the terminal device. Optionally, the station may be a terminal device supporting the IEEE 802.11 series of standards.

The following serves as an exemplary description, taking a WLAN system as an example to describe the application scenarios of the embodiments of the present application and the methods of the embodiments of the present application.

An Access Point (AP) is a device in a WLAN through which a terminal device accesses the network. The AP can provide network services for each terminal device connected to it through WiFi technology. Each terminal device connected to the AP can transmit data with the AP through the air interface resources provided by the AP. It should be understood that accessing an AP is also a specific implementation manner of accessing WiFi.

With the development of Internet technology, the services carried by WiFi become more and more diverse, such as but not limited to, ultra-high-definition video, VR, smart home, etc. Among them, the ultra-high-definition video may refer to a video with a display resolution of 3840×2160 and above, and may also be referred to as a 4K video. New services drive operators to continuously upgrade their bandwidth, and the broadband market has shown a trend of 100M popularization and gigabit leading.

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a wireless communication system applicable to the method provided by this embodiment of the present application.

As shown in FIG. 1, the communication system 100 includes an AP 110 and a terminal device. Illustratively, the communication system 100 includes terminal devices 121 to 124 . The terminal devices 121 to 124 may be different types of terminal devices, for example, including but not limited to, a smart TV 121, a VR helmet 122, a mobile phone 123, a tablet computer 124, and other terminal devices not shown in the figure, such as PDA, PC, laptop, etc. Among them, smart TV 121 can be used to play 4K video, VR helmet 122 can be used to play VR games, mobile phone 123, tablet computer 124, etc. can be used for game live broadcast, video call, etc., tablet computer 124, PC, laptop, etc. can be used to play network teaching, etc. The first terminal device and the second terminal device described later may refer to any one of the terminal devices accessing the AP 110, for example, may be any one of the above-mentioned terminal devices 121 to 124.

As shown in Figure 1, terminal devices 121 to 124 are connected to the same WiFi AP 110, and services such as 4K video, VR games, online teaching, and game live broadcast are performed simultaneously. Performance indicators such as delay are different. The AP customizes differentiated resource allocation and scheduling policies according to the service type to meet the relevant performance indicators required by the service. Therefore, the AP identifies the access service type, and schedules resources for each terminal device according to the performance index parameters such as rate and delay required by different service types, so as to meet the service requirements of different service types as much as possible, and give users more Good business experience.

It can be seen that, in order to meet the service requirements of different service types as much as possible, the AP should reasonably schedule resources so as to reasonably allocate the limited air interface resources to each service.

There is a technology: APs can identify services through AI or statistical methods, which can be divided into packet type identification and service type identification, and perform resource scheduling according to the results of service identification. However, the service identification accuracy of this method is low, resulting in that the air interface resource allocation strategy and scheduling strategy cannot accurately match the service type, and cannot meet the requirements of the rate and delay required by the service, which affects the user experience. The present application provides a resource scheduling method. A first terminal device sends service information of a first service that is using or will use air interface resources provided by an AP to an AP, where the service information includes the service type of the first service, and the AP Resource scheduling can be performed based on the service type of the first service, so that the scheduled resources meet requirements such as rate and delay required by the service, and provide users with better service experience.

A resource scheduling method provided by an embodiment of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

It should be understood that the embodiments shown below describe the method from the perspective of the interaction between a first terminal device and an AP, where the first terminal device may be one of the terminal devices 121 to 124 shown in FIG. 1 , and the AP, for example, It may be the AP shown in FIG. 1 . It can be understood that, in addition to the first terminal device, the AP can also receive service information from other terminal devices (eg, a second terminal device, a third terminal device, etc.). In other words, any terminal device connected to the AP can send service information to the AP.

It should also be understood that although the embodiment shown below is described by taking the interaction between the first terminal device and the AP as an example, it should not constitute any limitation on the execution body of the method. The method provided by the embodiment of the present application can be executed as long as the program in which the code of the method provided by the embodiment of the present application is recorded can be executed. For example, the first terminal device can also be replaced with a component configured in the first terminal device (eg, a chip, a chip system, or other functional modules capable of calling programs and executing programs, etc.), and the AP can also be replaced with a component configured in the AP. Components (eg, chips, chip systems, or other functional modules capable of calling programs and executing programs, etc.). This embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

FIG. 2 is a schematic flowchart of a resource scheduling method 200 provided by an embodiment of the present application. The method 200 shown in FIG. 2 may include S210 to S230, and each step in FIG. 2 will be described in detail below.

S210, the first terminal device generates service information of the first service.

The first service is a service that is using or is about to use the air interface resource provided by the AP. The terminal device for running the first service may be the first terminal device or other terminal devices. This embodiment of the present application does not limit this. However, it can be understood that the terminal device for running the first service is a terminal device connected to the AP, and can use the air interface resources provided by the AP for data transmission.

The service information of the first service includes the service type of the first service. The service type of the first service may be, for example, 4K video, online teaching, VR game, game live broadcast, or conference office, etc., and the embodiments of the present application include but are not limited to this.

In addition, the first terminal device may be any terminal device connected to the AP, or may be a terminal device with WiFi management authority among the terminal devices connected to the AP.

For example, the user can store the terminal device with WiFi management authority in the AP in advance. For example, the serial number, name, Internet protocol (IP) address of the terminal device with WiFi management authority, or other information that can be used to uniquely identify the terminal device. The AP can receive or reject service information from each terminal device according to the authority of each terminal device. Or, the user cannot input service-related information on a terminal device without WiFi management authority.

It should be understood that the terminal device with WiFi management authority may be one terminal device or multiple terminal devices. This embodiment of the present application does not limit this. In addition, whether to have WiFi management authority may be for a certain AP. For different APs, terminal devices with WiFi management authority can be set separately.

The user may input the relevant information of the first service into the first terminal device in advance, and the first terminal device may generate service information of the first service after acquiring the relevant information of the first service.

Here, in order to distinguish between the information generated by the first terminal device and the information input by the user into the first terminal device, the information generated by the first terminal device is recorded as the service information of the first service, and the information input by the user into the first terminal device is recorded as the service information of the first service. Information about the first business. It can be understood that the first terminal device may generate service information of the first service based on the relevant information of the first service input by the user. For example, the user inputs the service type of the first service to the first terminal device, and the first terminal device can generate service information including the service type of the first service.

The following lists two implementation manners for the first terminal device to obtain the relevant information of the first service.

A first possible implementation manner is that the user inputs the relevant information of the first service through the WiFi management APP on the first terminal device. The first terminal device may be, for example, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, or other terminal device on which a WiFi management APP is installed. The user can open the WiFi management APP, and enter the relevant information of the first service in the APP.

The second possible implementation manner is that the user inputs the relevant information of the first service through the WiFi management webpage. The first terminal device may be, for example, a terminal device such as a notebook computer, a PC, etc., which can access the WiFi management webpage through a browser. The user can open a browser on the first terminal device, enter the WiFi management website, such as 192.198.1.1, to enter the WiFi management webpage. Thereafter, the service type of the first service can be input in the WiFi management webpage.

In response to the user's input operation, the first terminal device may generate service information of the first service. Optionally, the first terminal device may also display the service information of the first service through the front-end page.

It should be understood that the two implementation manners shown above are only two examples provided by the embodiments of the present application, and should not constitute any limitation to the embodiments of the present application. This embodiment of the present application does not limit the manner in which the first terminal device acquires the related information of the first service.

It should also be understood that the first terminal device may generate service information based on each input of the user. For example, the service information of one or more services is generated based on the related information of one or more services input by the user at one time. Alternatively, the first terminal device may perform an operation of sequentially generating service information at intervals, and generate service information of one or more services based on the relevant information of one or more services input by the user during this period. The present application does not limit the timing for generating the service information by the first terminal device.

It can be understood that the above-mentioned first service may be any one of one or more services inputted by the user. In the embodiments of the present application, for ease of understanding and description, the specific process of resource scheduling is described in detail by taking the first service as an example without loss of generality.

S220, the first terminal device sends the service information of the first service to the AP. Correspondingly, the AP receives service information of the first service from the first terminal device.

The first terminal device may send the service information of the first service to the AP through the air interface resource provided by the AP. Alternatively, the first terminal device may also be connected to the AP through a network cable, and send the service information of the first service to the AP. This embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

It can be understood that, in addition to the first terminal device, there may also be one or more terminal devices that send service information of other services to the AP. For example, optionally, the method further includes: the AP receiving service information of the second service from the second terminal device. It should be understood that the step of the AP receiving the service information of the second service may be performed before or after S220, or may be performed simultaneously with S220. This embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

S230, the AP performs resource scheduling according to the service type of the first service.

In a possible implementation manner, the AP may predefine scheduling policies corresponding to different service types. The scheduling policy corresponding to each service type may be pre-stored in the AP. After receiving the service information of the first service, the AP can select a corresponding scheduling policy for the first service according to the service type contained therein, and then perform resource scheduling.

In an example, the AP determines the scheduling delay according to the service type.

For example, VR games have high latency requirements, such as less than 7ms; file download services (eg, downloading software installation packages) have low latency requirements, such as less than 50ms. The AP can determine the scheduling priority according to the service type.

Assuming that the first service is a VR game, the AP can preferentially schedule resources for the first service. For example, when other services (eg, 4K video, etc.) exist at the same time, resources are scheduled for the first service first, and then resources are scheduled for other services. In addition, the AP can also limit the sending duration of data packets for other services to avoid taking up too much time on the air interface, thereby ensuring that new data packets of the first service can be sent in time when they arrive at the AP.

In another example, the AP may allocate bandwidth by traffic type.

Assuming that the first service is a VR game, the AP can allocate 1/2 of the bandwidth to the first service according to the service type for the transmission of the VR game service, so as to ensure that new data packets of the first service reach the AP When there are sufficient air interface resources to send out. Assuming that the air interface resource bandwidth provided by the AP is 80MHz, the AP can allocate a bandwidth of 40MHz to the first service.

Alternatively, the AP can allocate 1/2 of the bandwidth to the first service when other services (eg, office conference, 4K video, etc.) exist at the same time; and allocate all the bandwidth to the first service when no other services exist. In addition, the AP can also keep the bandwidth allocated to the first service unchanged during the data sending period of the first service, so as to ensure that each scheduled VR game data packet has an opportunity to be sent.

Optionally, S230 specifically includes:

S2301, the AP determines the target parameter of the first service according to the service type of the first service;

S2302, the AP performs resource scheduling according to target parameters of the first service.

Among them, the target parameter can be used to indicate business requirements. The target parameter of the first service may be used to indicate service requirements corresponding to the first service. Exemplarily, the target parameter may include a target rate and may also include a target delay.

The AP can also pre-store the mapping relationship between the service type and the target parameter. Each target parameter can be obtained through historical data statistics, for example, or can be provided by developers of various business types. The AP may determine the bandwidth ratio and delay allocated for the first service according to the target parameter.

For example, if the service type of the first service is a service type that pays more attention to the transmission rate, such as network teaching or video service, etc., the bandwidth ratio can be determined according to the required target rate, and then resources are scheduled according to the bandwidth ratio, so that the When the resource scheduled by the first service is used for data transmission of the first service, the transmission rate thereof is higher than the target rate.

For another example, if the service type of the first service is a service type that is more concerned with delay, such as VR games or game live broadcasts, resource scheduling can be performed at the required target delay, so as to target VR games or game live broadcasts. The delay caused by the scheduled resources is kept below the target delay.

Of course, the air interface resources provided by the AP may also be used by multiple services at the same time. For example, while the first service is using the air interface resource, other services (for example, the second service) are using the air interface resource. In this case, the AP can determine the target parameters of the first service and the target parameters of the second service according to the service types of the first service and the second service, respectively, and then perform the processing according to the target parameters of the first service and the target parameters of the second service. Resource Scheduling.

In an example, if the target rate of the first service is 50 Mbps and the target rate of the second service is 200 Mbps, the frequency domain resources may be allocated to the first service and the second service according to the bandwidth allocation ratio of 1:4, so that the first service When the resources scheduled by the second service and the second service are used for data transmission of the two services, the rates can be respectively maintained above the target rate.

In another example, if the target rate of the first service is 50 Mbps and the target rate of the second service is 200 Mbps, time domain resources may be allocated to the first service and the second service according to the time allocation ratio of 1:4, so that the When the resources scheduled for the service and the second service are used for data transmission of the two services, the rates can be maintained above the target rate respectively.

For another example, if the target delay of the first service is 20 milliseconds (ms) and the target delay of the second service is 100 ms, the AP may schedule resources for the second service first, and then schedule resources for the first service. If combined with the above limit on the target rate, the AP can first schedule 1/5 frequency domain resources for the first service, and then schedule 4/5 frequency domain resources for the second service; or, first schedule 1/5 frequency domain resources for the first service /5 time domain resources, and then schedule 4/5 time domain resources for the second service.

It should be understood that the above examples are only shown for ease of understanding, and should not constitute any limitation to the embodiments of the present application. After the AP determines the target parameters, it may also perform resource scheduling in other ways, so that the resources scheduled for the first service and the second service can enable the data transmission of the first service and the second service to meet the target parameters.

It should also be understood that, in addition to the target rate and target delay listed above, the target parameters may also include other parameters, such as a maximum rate, a minimum rate, a maximum delay, a minimum delay, and the like. On the one hand, the maximum rate and minimum delay can avoid resource waste caused by excessively invoking resources. On the other hand, the minimum rate and maximum delay can enable each service to meet the basic needs of the service and avoid poor user experience.

In order to perform resource scheduling more reasonably, the first terminal device may also carry other information in the service information of the first service sent to the AP. The AP can also perform resource scheduling more reasonably according to other information. The following will describe in more detail how the AP performs resource scheduling in conjunction with various pieces of information in the service information of the first service.

Optionally, the service information of the first service may further include time information that the first service uses the air interface resources provided by the AP. The time information includes at least two of the following: start time, end time, and time length of using the air interface resource.

It can be seen that, based on any two items among the start time, the end time, and the time length, the specific time period during which the first service uses the air interface resource can be determined.

For example, the service information may include a start time of 19:00 and an end time of 21:00, and it may be determined that the time period during which the first service uses air interface resources is 19:00-21:00. For another example, the service information may include the actual time of 19:00 and the time length of 2 hours, and then it may be determined that the time period during which the first service uses air interface resources is 19:00-21:00. Based on the time period during which the first service uses the air interface resources, the AP can continuously schedule resources for the first service within this time period from the start time, so that the service requirements of the first service can be met.

If the first service is a service that repeats periodically, in order to repeatedly input the relevant information of the first service, the time information may further include an indication of whether the time for using the air interface resource is repeated periodically.

The duration of the above-mentioned period may be preset. For example, the user may preset the duration of the cycle through the above WiFi management APP or WiFi management webpage. Alternatively, the duration of the period may also be preconfigured in the access point. Alternatively, the duration of the period may be a plurality of optional values preconfigured in the AP, and the user may select a corresponding duration as the period through the above WiFi management APP or WiFi management webpage according to requirements.

It should be understood that the specific setting manner of the period is not limited to those listed above, and is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

Furthermore, the duration of the cycle may be, for example, a day, a week or a month, among others. This is also not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

For example, if the first service is a periodic service and the period is one day, it means that the first service needs to use air interface resources at the same time period every day. The user may indicate that the first service is a periodically repeated service when inputting the relevant information of the first service for the first time.

Further, the specific time at which the first service uses the air interface resource may be determined through service information, for example, according to any two items of start time, end time and time length included in the time information, or may be determined in the first service. When a service uses air interface resources for the first time, the AP determines the service start time and end time according to statistics. This embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

Based on the time period during which the first service uses the air interface resources, the AP may periodically schedule resources for the first service, so that the service requirements of the first service can be met.

Optionally, the service information of the first service may further include the service priority of the first service.

The service priority may specifically refer to the priority of the service type. Exemplarily, among the five services of 4K video, online teaching, VR games, game live broadcasting, and conference office, the priority of online teaching is the highest, the priority of conference office is the second, and the priorities of the other three categories of services are the same.

A business priority can be identified by a priority value. Different priority values correspond to different business priorities. Illustratively, the higher the priority, the higher the priority value; the lower the priority, the lower the priority value. For example, in the five types of services listed above, the priority value of online teaching is 7, the priority value of conference office is 6, and the priority value of 4K video, game live broadcast and VR game is 5.

It should be understood that the corresponding relationship between the priority value and the priority level is not necessarily as listed above. In some designs, the higher the priority, the smaller the priority value; the lower the priority, the larger the priority value. The present application does not limit the corresponding relationship between the priority value and the priority level.

The AP may perform resource scheduling according to the service priority of the first service.

Specifically, if the service priority of the first service is higher, the AP will respond faster to scheduling resources for the first service, and the instant delay will be lower; if the service priority of the first service is lower, the AP will be the first service. The slower the response of service scheduling resources, the higher the latency.

As mentioned above, the air interface resources provided by the AP may be used by multiple services at the same time.

The AP can determine whether there are multiple services using air interface resources at the same time according to the time information of each service. As described above, the AP can determine the time period during which the first service uses the air interface resource according to the time information included in the service information of the first service. The AP may also receive service information of the second service, and the AP may also determine the time period during which the second service uses the air interface resources according to the time information included in the service information of the second service. If the time period in which the first service uses the air interface resources overlaps with the time period in which the second service uses the air interface resources, the AP may determine that there are multiple services that use the air interface resources at the same time.

Alternatively, the AP can also determine whether there are multiple services using the air interface resources at the same time by monitoring the data flow. The AP can monitor the data flow in real time. If the AP monitors multiple data streams with different transmission rates at the same time, or multiple data streams sent to IP addresses, or multiple data streams from different IP addresses, it can be determined that multiple services are being used at the same time. Air interface resources.

It should be understood that the above-listed method for the AP to determine whether there are multiple services using the air interface resource at the same time is only an example, and should not constitute any limitation to the embodiments of the present application.

In this embodiment of the present application, it is assumed that while the first service is using the air interface resource, there are other services (for example, the second service) that are using the air interface resource. In this case, the AP can perform resource scheduling according to the service priority of the first service and the service priority of the second service.

In an example, if the service priority of the first service is higher than the service priority of the second service, the AP may schedule resources for the first service first, and then schedule resources for the second service.

In another example, if the service priority of the first service is higher than the service priority of the second service, the AP can first schedule resources according to the service type of the first service, and preferentially ensure that the service requirements of the first service are satisfied; 2. The business type of the business schedules resources. In this case, the business requirements of the high-priority business can be satisfied first, while the business requirements of the low-priority business may not be satisfied when resources are insufficient.

For another example, if the service priority of the first service is the same as the service priority of the second service, the AP may perform resource scheduling according to the target delay. For example, if the target delay of the first service is 20ms, and the target delay of the second service is 10ms, the AP may schedule resources for the second service first, and then schedule resources for the first service.

It can be understood that in some cases, if there are many services using the air interface resources at the same time, the situation of insufficient air interface resources may occur. For example, if the service priority of the first service is the same as the service priority of the second service, but the air interface resources are insufficient, the service requirements of the two services cannot be met at the same time. At this time, the AP may further perform resource scheduling according to the importance of the user.

Optionally, the service information of the first service further includes the importance of the terminal equipment corresponding to the first service. The terminal device corresponding to the first service specifically refers to that the terminal device is used for functions such as playing and running the first service. For example, if the first service is 4K video or network teaching, the terminal device may be a terminal device for playing 4K video or network teaching. If the first service is a VR game or game live broadcast, the terminal device may be a terminal device for running the VR game or game live broadcast. If the first service is conference office, the terminal device is a terminal device used to enable conference office. It can be understood that the terminal device corresponding to the first service may be the above-mentioned first terminal device, or may not be the first terminal device. This embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

The importance of the terminal device may correspond to the importance of the user. In other words, the importance of the user can be characterized by the importance of the terminal device.

The importance of the terminal equipment may also be identified by a specific numerical value, for example, the higher the importance, the larger the numerical value; the lower the importance, the smaller the numerical value. Or, for another example, the higher the importance, the smaller the value; the lower the importance, the higher the value. The corresponding relationship between the importance level and the numerical value is similar to the corresponding relationship between the above priority and the priority value.

Combined with the above example, if the service priority of the first service is the same as the service priority of the second service, but the air interface resources are insufficient to meet the service requirements of the two services at the same time, the AP can use the terminal device corresponding to the first service and the second service to meet the service requirements. Resource scheduling is performed according to the importance of the terminal equipment corresponding to the second service.

It is assumed that the importance degree of the terminal device corresponding to the first service is higher than that of the terminal device corresponding to the second service. The AP may preferentially perform resource scheduling according to the service type of the first service, so as to preferentially meet the service requirements of the first service. Alternatively, the AP may schedule resources for the first service first, and then schedule resources for the second service. This embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

To better understand the embodiments of the present application, FIG. 3 shows a management interface shown by a WiFi management APP. After the user opens the WiFi management APP in the first terminal device, the APP can present the management interface shown in FIG. 3 to the user. The user can input information related to one or more services in the management interface. As shown in FIG. 3 , the relevant information of the multiple services includes, for example: the 4K video of the terminal device 1, the start time is 19:00, the end time is 21:00, aperiodically repeated, and the service priority is 5; The network teaching of device 4 starts at 10:00, ends at 12:00, repeats periodically, and has a service priority of 7.

It should be understood that what is shown in FIG. 3 is only an example, and just as the description of the service information in the above embodiments, the relevant information of each service input by the user is not limited to the few items listed in the figure.

It should also be understood that the management interface shown in FIG. 3 is for illustration only, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific form of the management interface. For example, the management interface may also be presented in the form of a table, and so on.

Based on the received service information of each service, the AP can monitor the air interface resources currently used by each service in real time. When users need to query air interface resources, they can query through the above WiFi management APP or enter the WiFi management page.

Optionally, the method further includes: the AP sends air interface resource ratio information to the first terminal device, where the air interface resource ratio information is used to indicate the air interface resource ratio of one or more services currently using the air interface resource. Correspondingly, the first terminal device receives the air interface resource ratio information from the AP.

The AP may send the ratio of the currently used services to the air interface resources to the first terminal device. Exemplarily, the first terminal device may present the ratio of each service to the air interface resources to the user in the form of a statistical graph.

FIG. 4 shows a statistical diagram of the proportion of air interface resources. FIG. 4 shows the proportion of air interface resources in the form of a circular graph. As shown in Figure 4, conference office occupies 10% of air interface resources, online teaching occupies 9% of air interface resources, game live broadcast occupies 20% of air interface resources, VR games occupy 22% of air interface resources, and the remaining air interface resources account for 64%.

It should be understood that the statistical graph shown in FIG. 4 is only an example, and the statistical graph may be, for example, a bar graph, a graph, or the like. This embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

In addition, the AP can also sort the services currently using air interface resources in descending order of service priority according to the service priority and target parameters of each service, combined with the AP's own air interface capabilities, such as throughput, to obtain Prioritize the ordering information of the business. The AP may send the ranking information of the priority guaranteed service to the first terminal device, so as to be presented to the user through the first terminal device. As shown in Figure 4, the highest priority business is online teaching, followed by conference office, and then game live broadcast and VR games.

Optionally, the ranking information of the priority guarantee service may be carried in the same message as the above-mentioned air interface resource ratio information and sent to the first terminal device, or may be carried in a different message and sent to the first terminal device. This is not limited in the application examples.

In another implementation manner, the air interface resource ratio information may also be used to indicate the respective ratios of the air interface resources to one or more terminal devices currently using the air interface resources. Since the terminal device can correspond to the user, the above-mentioned ranking information of the preferentially guaranteed service can also be replaced with the ranking information of the preferentially guaranteed user. FIG. 5 shows an example of the respective proportions of one or more terminal devices to the air interface resources, and an example of the ranking information of priority guarantee users.

It should be understood that the AP can receive service information from multiple terminal devices, the AP can save the service information received each time locally, and present the service type of each service and the air interface resources used to the user in real time through the management interface. . Therefore, the service type presented on the management interface may not be limited to the service type sent by the terminal device most recently, such as the service type of the first service sent by the first terminal device, and may also include services sent by other terminal devices before this. type.

In addition to the air interface resource ratio, the AP can also monitor the real-time parameters of each service in real time, such as real-time rate and/or real-time delay, and can determine each service based on the real-time monitored parameters and the target parameters of each service Whether it can meet business needs. When users need to query the configuration information of each service parameter, they can also query through the above WiFi management APP or enter the WiFi management page.

Optionally, the method further includes: the first terminal device receives configuration information from the AP, where the configuration information includes one or more of the following: a real-time rate, real-time Delay and indication of whether it can meet business requirements. Correspondingly, the AP sends the configuration information to the first terminal device.

After receiving the configuration information from the AP, the first terminal device may present the configuration of each service parameter to the user. Table 1 below shows an example of service parameter configuration information.

The first 7 columns of Table 1 can be the relevant information of the service input by the user, for example, can include the relevant information of the service input by the user through the first terminal device, and the last 3 columns are the real-time parameters monitored by the AP, including the real-time rate of each service, Real-time latency, and whether it can meet business needs.

Table 1

It should be understood that the configuration information of each service parameter shown in Table 1 is only a possible presentation form, and should not constitute any limitation to this application. The present application does not limit the specific presentation form of the configuration information of each service parameter.

In order to avoid resource limitation, the AP can detect the data flow in real time and discover interrupted services in time; it can also detect the connection with terminal equipment in real time and find out the offline terminal equipment in time.

Optionally, the method further includes: when the AP detects that any service is interrupted, releasing air interface resources occupied by the interrupted service.

When the AP detects that the data flow of a certain service has not been transmitted for a long time, it can determine that the service is interrupted. The AP can release the air interface resources occupied by the service for use by other services.

Optionally, the method further includes: when the AP detects that any terminal device is offline, releasing the air interface resources occupied by the offline terminal device. If a terminal device goes offline, the terminal device can disconnect from the AP, and the AP can detect it in time. The AP can release the air interface resources occupied by the offline terminal device for use by other services.

Since the released air interface resources are used for other services, idle resources can be avoided, resource utilization can be improved, and the service requirements of other services can also be guaranteed.

Based on the above technical solution, the first terminal device sends service information of the first service that is using or will use the air interface resources provided by the AP to the AP, where the service information includes the service type of the first service, and the AP can perform the first service based on the service type. Resource Scheduling. Therefore, the scheduling policy can be accurately matched to the service type, so as to meet the requirements of the rate and delay required by the service, and improve the service experience of the user.

In addition, the first terminal device may further carry information such as the time information of the first service, the priority of the service, and the importance of the corresponding terminal device into the service information, so that the AP can more reasonably perform resource scheduling according to the above information. .
