Technical field
Each aspect of the present invention relates to service quality (QoS) support method and the device that utilizes communication protocol, more specifically, relates to by utilizing the communication protocol exchange message to ensure the method and apparatus of the QoS of data communication between recipient and transmit leg.
Background technology
Because the development of wire/wireless communication technology supports multimedia wire/wireless communication service to have polytype and standard.Particularly, along with data transfer rate increases, increasing service provides music or film by wire/wireless communication in real-time streamed mode.In this respect, allow seamlessly listoning music or watch film extremely important of service-user.Ensure service quality (QoS) most important for following communication environment with the method for guaranteeing seamless data communication between recipient and the transmit leg.
Fig. 1 transmits the diagram of session for showing the routine data that switches between the heterogeneous network.With reference to Fig. 1, recipient 110 portable terminal is that the wireless lan network 130 of 2Mbps moves to the Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) that the maximum data transfer rate is 384Kbps (WCDMA) network 140 from the maximum data transfer rate.Portable terminal recipient 110 switches (102) before, is in the wireless lan network 130 of 2Mbps in the maximum data transfer rate, and transmit leg 120 is with the speed sending data (101) of 1Mbps.Even switching (102) afterwards, because do not notify the link property of the WCDMA network 140 that transmit leg 120 recipients' 110 portable terminal moves to, so the speed sending data (103) that transmit leg 120 continues with same 1Mbps.As a result, recipient 110 portable terminal can't receive the data of sending from transmit leg fully, thereby causes loss of data.Therefore, transmit data if transmit leg 120 sends the stream of music or film, then recipient 110 can't be with real-time listoning music or watch film seamlessly.
Fig. 2 is for transmitting the diagram of session according to another routine data that switches between the heterogeneous network.With reference to Fig. 2, opposite with data transfer sessions shown in Figure 1, recipient 210 portable terminal is that the WCDMA network 230 of 384Kbps moves to the wireless lan network 240 that the maximum data transfer rate is 2Mbps from the maximum data transfer rate.Portable terminal recipient 210 switches (202) before, and transmit leg 220 is with the speed sending data (201) of 384Kbps.Even switching (202) afterwards, because do not notify the link property of the wireless lan network 240 that transmit leg 220 recipients' 210 portable terminal moves to, so the speed sending data (203) that transmit leg 220 continues with same 384Kbps.As a result, transmit leg 220 is take the speed sending data of the not high speed 156Kbps of the middle efficient of wireless lan network 240 (its maximum data transfer rate is as 2Mbps).
The same with switching shown in Fig. 1 and 2, between the heterogeneous network, the network link characteristic after carrying out switching between the heterogeneous network may be different from the network link characteristic before switching.If network has after carrying out than more user before switching, then the user can intercom with low speed in this network mutually.In addition, if network has than higher bit error rate before switching, then transmit data with lower speed after carrying out, to reduce bit error rate.If network has than still less user and lower bit error rate before switching, then transmit data with more speed after carrying out.
When the recipient communicated by letter in network and do not have switching between the network, data transfer rate may change owing to the number of users in the network and data communications environment.
The information of the variation of the available resources that the data that receiving about the terminal of processing the recipient are required may affect the QoS of data communication.Although can't process the current data that receiving owing to being used for the variation, recipient's terminal of CPU, memory etc. ardware feature of deal with data, if transmit leg transmission data, then recipient's terminal can't suitably receive music or film.
Transmit leg sends data according to the communication environment that changes, thereby can guarantee the QoS that data transmit.For example, transfer rate than the low network of another network in, may transmit the data of low-qualityer music or film, so that real time service to be provided.In addition, transfer rate than the high network of another network in, may transmit the music of better quality or the data of film, take affair so that spreading of better quality to be provided.If distribute more CPU or memory to process the data that send from transmit leg to the recipient, then transmit leg can transmit the data than more high-quality music or picture before distributing CPU or memory.
Use utilizes the sliding window of the routine of Transmission Control Protocol to block control, comes the communication environment according to the recipient, the size of change data.The recipient sends affirmation (ACK) signal, and the indication recipient has received the data from transmit leg error-free.Transmit leg normally receives ack signal, and increases the data volume that once sends.But if transmit leg is not received ack signal, then transmit leg reduces the data volume that once sends.Because can or degenerate and control data transfer rate according to the improvement of recipient's link property, so transmit leg can send data according to recipient's link property.But conventional sliding window blocks control needs many times to send data according to recipient's improvement or the link property of degeneration, and during time of delay, this can make link can not get effective application.

Embodiment
Now will be in detail with reference to embodiments of the invention, its example shows in the accompanying drawings, wherein identical Reference numeral represents identical element.Embodiment is below described with by being explained with reference to the drawings the present invention.
Fig. 3 for according to first embodiment of the invention, according to the ensure service quality flow chart of method of (QoS) of recipient's link property.With reference to Fig. 3, the link property of recipient's Sampling network (operation 301).The recipient can by the access point (AP) of analyzing the network under the recipient or the prearranged signals that router sends, detect link property.AP is included in the WLAN, and the base station in the mobile communication such as code division multiple access (CDMA), Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) (WCDMA) of indication.Wireless network can be supported any standard, for example GSM (Global Systems for Mobile communications).Network also can be cable network.The detection methods such as network drive interface specification (NDIS) such as Windows (OS) detect contiguous recipient and send wired station of data or the characteristic of the link between the radio station to the recipient.
The link property that detects comprises the information of intensity about data transfer signals, data transfer rate, bit error rate (BER) etc.The link property that detects can comprise about the information of the wireless communication standard of cordless communication network, about the information of cable network or about any information of any network.In WLAN the recipient's of receive data terminal can analytical cycle ground from network other-end or the beacon signal of sending from AP, with the link property of Sampling network.Other aspects of the present invention may be used to the information from other sources.
From the first isomorphism/heterogeneous network to the second isomorphism/switching of heterogeneous network, the recipient detects the information about the link property of the second isomorphism/heterogeneous network.
The method that ensures QoS can further be determined the Link State (not shown) according to link property.The Link State that detects can comprise above-mentioned information about each factor.Therefore, it is inadequate to the information that transmit leg sends based on each factor.In order to overcome this defective, according to the quality of communication environment, the communication environment of the network under the recipient is divided into a plurality of grades, according to each ranking score distribution coefficient, and send the coefficient that distributes, thereby transmit leg can be according to the parameter identification recipient's who receives link property.
The recipient generates about the information (after this being called " link information ") of the link property that detects (operation 302).Termly or when link property changes, recipient's link generation information is to send this link information (operation 303) to transmit leg.According to other aspects, the recipient may change link information at any time.
The recipient determines whether transmit leg has sent the information (operation 304) in response to the link information that sends from the recipient.If transmit leg does not send the grouping that comprises this response message to the recipient, then the recipient turns back to operation 303, again to send the link information that changes.If the sending direction recipient has sent the grouping that comprises this response message, then the recipient determines whether to switch (operation 305).
If need to switch, then receive that from transmit leg the recipient of response message switches (operation 306).If owing to the switching of operation in 305 changed link property, then because the recipient has received response message from transmit leg, so the recipient is switched and receive data (operation 307) in operation 306.But owing to the link information that changes in the identical network has changed link property, and do not switch, then the recipient is operating in 307 according to the link property receive data that changes.
As mentioned above, link property may since carry out between the homogeneous network switching before and the difference of the number of the network user afterwards, signal strength signal intensity, BER etc. change.Therefore, in operation 305, between isomorphism/heterogeneous network, switch.
Fig. 4 A is for according to flow chart second embodiment of the invention, send method about the information of link property (it is one of operation of the QoS support method of recipient's execution) switching after.With reference to Fig. 4 A, the recipient detects the switching (operation 401) from the first network to the second network, and switches (operation 402).
The recipient detects the link property (operation 403) of second network.As described in reference Fig. 3, the link property that detects comprises about the information of the intensity of data transfer signals in the second network, data transfer rate, bit error rate BER and about the information of the wireless communication standard of cordless communication network.Other aspects of the present invention can comprise any information.
The recipient utilizes communication protocol to generate information (operation 404) about the link property that detects.The same with operation 302 shown in Figure 3, the recipient generates this information termly, to transmit link information (operation 405), perhaps generates grouping when link property changes.Other aspects of the present invention are link generation information at any time.
The recipient determines whether transmit leg has sent the information (operation 406) in response to the link information that sends from the recipient.If transmit leg does not send response message, then the recipient sends link information in operation 405 to transmit leg.If transmit leg has sent response message, recipient's receive data (operation 407) then.
The recipient is not discretely execution graph 3 and the QoS support method shown in the 4A, but can repeatedly send link information switching after, even like this during the transmission link information before the recipient is being switched yet.In addition, only have as the recipient since evitable former thereby do not switching before when sending link information, receive and can after switching, send link information just now.
Fig. 4 B is the flow chart according to QoS support method third embodiment of the invention, that the recipient carries out according to the variation of the required resource characteristics of deal with data.Except the information about the link property shown in Fig. 3 and the 4A, communication environment information comprises that also it is sent to transmit leg about the information of the available resources of the data that receiving for the treatment of the recipient, to carry out the method for the QoS that ensures data communication.Communication environment information can comprise any information useful when determining QoS.
With reference to Fig. 4 B, the recipient generates about the information (operation 411) for the treatment of the available resources of the current data of receiving.Comprise information about ardware features such as CPU, memory, reception buffer size, monitor resolution about the information of available resources, it is essential by the data that the terminal of processing the recipient is receiving, and about the information such as software features such as employed available video/audio codecs in recipient's the terminal.The receive direction transmit leg sends about the information of hardware/software characteristic and about the information of available resources, comprises the characteristic of the terminal of the data communications environment that may affect recipient and transmit leg.Other aspects of the present invention can send any information about available resources.
The receive direction transmit leg sends the information (operation 412) about available resources.If the information about available resources changes, the receive direction transmit leg sends this information.Transmit leg also can be termly to the information of transmit leg transmission about resource.Other aspects of the present invention can send this information at any time.
The recipient determines whether transmit leg has sent in response to the information (operation 413) about the information of resource that sends from the recipient.If the recipient receives response message from transmit leg, then the recipient is according to the QoS receive data that changes (operation 414).If the recipient does not receive response message from transmit leg, then the recipient turns back to operation 412, and again sends the information about available resources.
Fig. 5 is the flow chart according to QoS support method fourth embodiment of the invention, that carried out by transmit leg.With reference to Fig. 5, transmit leg determines whether to receive the information about communication environment (operation 501) of sending from the recipient.If transmit leg is received this information, then transmit leg changes the QoS (operation 502) that data transmit.If transmit leg is not received this information, then because the state of the employed resource of transmit leg or link property do not change, so transmit leg continues to send data (operation 504) to the recipient.
In operation 502, transmit leg according to send from the recipient, about the information of communication environment, change the QoS that data transmit.If recipient's BER owing to the degeneration of link property increases, then uses forward error correction (FEC) method just to reduce BER.If data transfer rate is reduced according to recipient's data transfer rate, then use the method for coding data to be sent, with the number of the frame of the per second that reduces cinematic data, to reduce resolution.The method can be changed into the other method with high compression rate.If data transfer rate increases, then by change QoS to get off: increase the frame number of per second, increase resolution, perhaps use the data-encoding scheme with little compressible.Transmit leg may have the content of all kinds quality, and according to raising or the degeneration of recipient's link property, sends high or low quality content.For the not restriction of QoS control method.Can use variation according to recipient's communication environment, change all methods of the quality of the data that sending, control QoS.
Transmit leg generates the indication transmit leg and is ready to basis sends data about the information of the change of communication environment response message (operation 504).Transmit leg can be used to indicate transmit leg and whether be ready to send data for " 0 " or " 1 " by the certain bits that appointment sends to recipient's packet, generates response message.Other aspects of the present invention can generate response message with additive method.In addition, transmit leg can generate how concrete designation data encodes, the response message of data format, size of data etc.How the to encode number, resolution, compression ratio, FEC of the frame that comprises per second or about other information of coding techniques of data.
Transmit leg sends the grouping (operation 504) comprise response message, and sends data (operation 505) according to the link information of recipient's variation.
Fig. 6 A for any embodiment according to the present invention, transmit the diagram of the session of link information when the switching carried out between isomorphism/heterogeneous network.
With reference to Fig. 6 A, show that transmit leg 620 is that the transfer rate with 100Mbps sends data (operation 601 and 602) to recipient 610 in the network 630 of 100Mbps in data transfer rate.Other aspects of the present invention can be used any speed.Because moving to data transfer rate, recipient 610 for example is the network 640 of 156Kbps, so recipient 610 detects the link property of the network that changes.Recipient 610 is according to the link property that detects, link generation information, and this link information sent to transmit leg 620 (operation 603).The transmit leg 620 of receiving grouping sends response message (operation 604) to recipient 610.When receiving response message, recipient 610 is switched.After having carried out operation 603 and 604, transmit leg 620 sends data (operation 605 and 606) according to the link property that changes with the 156Kbps transfer rate.
When recipient 610 moved to network 640 from network 630, data transfer rate was owing to the switching of carrying out between isomorphism/heterogeneous network changes.
With reference to Fig. 6 B, when recipient 650 transmits data (namely use same base station or AP, and do not have the switching between isomorphism/heterogeneous network) with transmit leg 660 in consolidated network, change data transfer rate.
Transmit leg 660 sends data (operation 651 and 652) with the transfer rate of for example 100Mbps to recipient 650.Then, data transfer rate changes (operation 653).Data transfer rate may be because in same base station or the variation of the user's that logins of AP variation, signal strength signal intensity or any former thereby change.
Recipient 650 is to the information (operation 654) of transmit leg 660 transmissions about the characteristic of the link of change.Transmit leg 660 sends response message (operation 655) to recipient 650.After executable operations 654 and 655, transmit leg 660 is according to the link information that changes, with the transfer rate transmission data (operation 656 and 657) of for example 156Kbps.
With reference to Fig. 6 A and 6B, change data transfer rate.But, when the interruption owing to rf wave increases or reduce BER or owing to change in signal strength is degenerated communication environment or when improving, caused during the data between transmit leg and recipient transmit that all changes of the factor that link property changes can be comprised in the link information.That is, can comprise any information that changes about link property.
When the link information with the recipient sent to recipient and transmit leg and sends data according to link information, this link information included only about the AP of direct access recipient's terminal or the information of the link between the router.But the data communication between recipient and the transmit leg may be subjected to the impact of the link property of transfer path (for example router on the transfer path or transponder between transmit leg and the recipient).Therefore, carried out by transmit leg, be useful based on the method for the transmission data of the link information of transfer path.
Fig. 7 be according to fifth embodiment of the invention, based on the flow chart of the QoS support method of the link information of transfer path.With reference to Fig. 7, be used for the link information (operation 701) that the connected node of forwarding data receives that the receive direction transmit leg sends.This link information includes only the link property of contiguous recipient's connected node.
This connected node that is used for forwarding data determines whether to add or corrects this link information (operation 702).If this connected node can't transmit data according to recipient's link information, then this connected node adds or corrects this link information (operation 703), to generate the link information based on the link property of transfer path.
