Below in conjunction with the accompanying drawing in the embodiment of the invention, the technical scheme in the embodiment of the invention is clearly and completely described, obviously, described embodiment only is the present invention's part embodiment, rather than whole embodiment.Based on the embodiment among the present invention, those of ordinary skills belong to the scope of protection of the invention not making the every other embodiment that is obtained under the creative work prerequisite.
Embodiment one
A kind of schematic diagram of setting up the method for route that Fig. 1 provides for embodiments of the invention one, this method can comprise:
S11: judge in the neighbor node beacon group of source node whether comprise source node and destination node;
S12: when comprising source node and destination node at least one neighbor node beacon group, in described at least one neighbor node, select routing node;
S13: connect described source node and destination node by the routing node of selecting.
In the present embodiment, by whether comprising source node and destination node in the neighbor node beacon group of judging source node, can determine whether neighbor node can be used as routing node, and the neighbor node of selecting to can be used as routing node is set up route, make that the MAC layer need not can set up route according to more high-rise indication, simple and the realization easily of technical scheme is convenient to save the above high-rise expense of MAC layer, is reduced the delay of setting up route.
In said method embodiment S11, judge whether comprise in the neighbor node beacon group that source node and destination node judge just whether neighbor node can be used as routing node.In the neighbor node beacon group, comprise source node and destination node, show that this neighbor node can receive the beacon of described source node and destination node, and the beacon of described source node and destination node can be received by this neighbor node equally, and promptly described source node and destination node are the nodes in the single-hop scope of described neighbor node.Neighbor node can connect with the neighbor node in its single-hop scope, so this neighbor node can be used as the routing node of source node and destination node, finishes the data forwarding function.Wherein source node is to connect and transmit the node of data to destination node; Destination node is the destination node that source node sends data; Neighbor node is to be positioned at same beacon group with described source node around the source node and at the neighbor node of source node single-hop scope, outwards sends beacon at a certain time slot of beacon period.In the time of in neighbor node is in the source node beacon group, the beacon that this neighbor node sends can be received by source node.Deterministic process among the described step S11 can be carried out by source node or neighbor node.
In a kind of specific implementation, described method also can comprise: source node receives the beacon that neighbor node sends, and obtains the beacon group information of described neighbor node from the beacon that described neighbor node sends.Correspondingly, described S11 can comprise: source node judges whether comprise source node and destination node in the neighbor node beacon group according to the beacon group information of described neighbor node.The source node here is by obtaining the beacon group information of neighbor node, judge whether neighbor node can be used as routing node, if comprise described source node and destination node in the neighbor node beacon group, then this neighbor node can be used as routing node, source node connects as set up route by this neighbor node, and then the MAC layer need not can realize routing procedure according to more high-rise indication.The beacon group information of wherein said neighbor node comprises the content of occupancy information element, and whether source node can comprise in the described occupancy information element source node address and destination node address judge whether comprise source node and destination node in the beacon group of described neighbor node by judging.The occupancy information element content of described neighbor node comprises neighbor node beacon group member's address.Neighbor node can receive the beacon of other node in last superframe, it can receive the beacon of which node, show that this node is its beacon group member, source node can write these beacon group member's address in the occupancy information element in its beacon that will send, and at next superframe beacon is sent.
In another kind of specific implementation, described method also can comprise: neighbor node obtains the route requests of source node, comprises the information of described destination node in the described route requests.Correspondingly, in S11, can be by whether comprising source node and destination node in its beacon group of neighbor node judging.The neighbor node here is after obtaining route requests, according to whether comprising in its beacon group that source node and destination node judge whether self can be used as routing node.
Further, before carrying out S11, described method also can comprise: when described source/neighbor node is not received the beacon of described destination node in continuous 4 superframes, judge not comprise described destination node in its beacon group.
Whether comprising in its beacon group of source/neighbor node judging that destination node can scan by beacon realizes, if source/neighbor node is not received the beacon of described destination node in continuous 4 superframes, illustrate that then destination node may be in source/neighbor node beacon group scope, can draw the conclusion that does not comprise described destination node in this source/neighbor node beacon group this moment.Find destination node not in its beacon group when source node, then the beacon of its transmission possibly can't be received by destination node, need carry out route by neighbor node.Neighbor node can judge to comprise which member in its beacon group, finds source node and destination node in its beacon group when judging, shows that then the neighbor node of this moment can be used as routing node connection source node and destination node.Therefore a certain node judges to comprise which member which member of existence in judging its single-hop scope just in its beacon group.A node can directly not receive the beacon of member in the single-hop scope by route, the beacon of its transmission also can be received by member in the single-hop scope.
Further, described method also can comprise: described source/neighbours/destination node sends the beacon that comprises information about firms in its beacon group to its beacon group interior nodes.Node in the communication system all can outwards send beacon by the mode of broadcasting, makes its beacon group member can receive its beacon, thereby makes its beacon group member can obtain its beacon group information.
In S12, if exist in the beacon group of a plurality of neighbor nodes and comprise source node and destination node, the then described routing node of selecting at least one neighbor node can comprise: select in described at least one neighbor node with the best node of source node communication quality as routing node; The node of perhaps selecting to have connected with source node in described at least one neighbor node is as routing node.If source node is selected to communicate with top-quality node as routing node, can obtain better communication quality; If the node that source node is selected to have connected with it in neighbor node can rebulid connection as routing node, pare down expenses and the time.Be appreciated that then source node need not to select if only exist a neighbor node to comprise source node and destination node, can directly this unique neighbor node that satisfies condition be defined as routing node.
Further, before S13, described method also can comprise: source node sends beacon or command frame, and carries routing iinformation in beacon or command frame, and described routing iinformation is used to offer described routing node; Source node receives the response message of described routing node.The routing node of this moment can be learnt the destination node that source node need be communicated by letter according to the routing iinformation that carries in its beacon that receives or the command frame, and it also can send response message to source node, shows that its agreement sets up route.
Further, after connecting described source node and destination node by the routing node of selecting, described method also can comprise: described source node forward the data to destination node by the routing node of selecting.The detailed process of transmitting data can comprise: described source node sends Frame, and the address and the described routing node that carry routing node in the Frame of its transmission are the routing number of its distribution; Described routing node receives and transmits described Frame, and carries the address of destination node in the Frame of its forwarding according to described routing number.When setting up route, routing node can be source node and its destination node distributes a routing number.Routing node can be learnt that this Frame is the data that its needs receive according to the routing node address of carrying in the Frame, and learn the transmission destination node of this Frame according to the routing number that carries in the Frame after receiving the Frame of source node.Routing node can be revised Frame and make the address of carrying destination node in the Frame and transmit this Frame, destination node can know that this Frame is the data that its needs receive according to the address of carrying destination node in the Frame after receiving this Frame, thereby finishes data forwarding.
Embodiment two
Fig. 2 is a kind of method flow schematic diagram of preferably setting up route that the embodiment of the invention two provides, and this method can comprise following process:
S21: whether node A decision node B leaves self beacon group scope, if, then carry out S22, otherwise, communicate with Node B.
In the WPAN communication system, each node can send beacon, and carries out the beacon that beacon scanning is sent with node around receiving.Whether node A can be by its beacon decision node B that whether receives Node B in a superframe in self beacon group scope.Be that example is elaborated with ECMA-369 standard in the WPAN communication system below, corresponding embodiment only is used to explain the present invention, is not used in qualification the present invention.Be appreciated that technical scheme that the embodiment of the invention provides is also applicable in the similar distributed communication standard of other and ECMA-369.
The ECMA-369 standard is a kind of typical distribution formula network communications standards, and it does not rely on Centroid.All nodes (except the dormancy node) all can send own beacon in certain beacon slot in beacon period in beacon group, at other time slot scannings, receive neighbours' beacon, by understanding the content in the beacon, realization internode collaboration and management.Node A in the present embodiment and B then are the nodes that belongs to a beacon group in the distributed communication network.
ECMA-368 and ECMA-369 are the universal standards in WPAN field.Wherein, ECMA-368 described physical layer based on multi-band orthogonal frequency division multiplexing modulation (PHY, Physical) and the ins and outs of the MAC layer (MAC, Media Access Control) of distributed structure/architecture; ECMA-369 has defined the interface specification between PHY and MAC.In the ECMA-369 standard, the time on channel is divided into a plurality of different superframes, and a superframe can contain a plurality of media interviews time slots (MAS, Medium Access Slots).
Fig. 3 is the schematic diagram of the superframe structure in the ECMA-369 standard.A SF is a superframe among Fig. 3, comprises beacon period (BP, Beacon period) and data phase (DP, Data period).In beacon period, realize between communication node synchronously, management, cooperation and communication negotiation, and in the MAS of data phase, realize synchronously or asynchronous data communication.In the ECMA-369 standard, frame can be divided into polytypes such as beacon frame, control frame, command frame, Frame, also can be further divided into multiple subtype according to concrete function.For example, aspect frame type, represent beacon frame, control frame, command frame, Frame respectively with 0,1,2,3 usually.Beacon frame is a beacon, is regularly sent by node, wherein comprises important control and management information, as current function, operating state and the communication requirement etc. of node, is the one group of data that is associated with the sign of equipment self, state, function, request etc.Frame is is only received and dispatched in the phase in data, is used for carrying the data of upper layer transfers to media access control sublayer.Upper layer data (addressing information that comprises the route layer) is called MAC service data unit (MSDU, MAC Service Data Unit) when delivering to media access control sublayer, by mode and other the node switching transmission of media access control sublayer with Frame.In beacon frame or command frame, some important informations usually are encoded and form the form of information unit (IE, Information Element).For realizing difference in functionality, beacon frame and command frame can embed or remove various information units flexibly; The user also can create frame or the information unit type that makes new advances according to the information unit form, thereby realize specific function according to various needs.
In distributed communication system, with a node is the center, and all nodes constitute a beacon group in its beacon communication range, and all nodes in the group all have identical beacon zero-time (BPST, Beacon Period Start Time), be the phase mutually synchronization therefore.Fig. 4 a is a kind of schematic diagram of Centroid beacon group interior nodes distribution situation.Dotted line among Fig. 4 is represented the beacon group scope of Centroid m, and node n, the x in this beacon group, y, z are the interior members of the beacon group of node m.Each interior node of beacon group all can send self beacon at a certain time slot of beacon period.Though the interior member of the beacon group of Centroid m can realize the beacon transmitting-receiving with Centroid m, the transmitting-receiving of the beacon between realization mutually surely differs between the member in the group.The beacon of a node transmission can only be received by other node in the certain limit around it; This node also can only be received the beacon of other node in the certain limit around it, can constitute a beacon group of this node with this other node of node transceiver target.Fig. 4 b is the schematic diagram of different node member beacon group situations in a kind of Centroid beacon group.In Fig. 4 b, comprise node n, x, y, z in the beacon group scope of Centroid m, wherein, comprise node m and y in the node z beacon group scope; Comprise node m in the node x beacon group scope; But node x and node z be not mutually in the other side's beacon group scope, so can not receive and dispatch the other side's beacon mutually between node x and y.
Owing to the reasons such as mobility of node, node Time Slot Occupancy situation, the node beacon group member in beacon period can change.Generally, if do not receive the beacon of another Node B in continuous 4 superframes of node A, just can think that Node B is not in the beacon group of this node A.Usually can be with the sign of node address as node, all interior node address structures of the current beacon group of node can become an information unit, are called BPOIE (Beacon period occupancy IE, beacon period occupancy information element).Each node all can comprise BPOIE in the beacon that sends, the member's situation when it can reflect a superframe on this node in the beacon group.
S22: node A receives the beacon that neighbor node sends, and obtains the beacon group information of neighbor node from the beacon that neighbor node sends.
Send the beacon of oneself in the fixedly time slot of each neighbor node of node A in beacon period, and in its beacon, comprise the beacon group information of self; After node A receives relevant beacon, can be from wherein obtaining the beacon group information of this neighbor node.The beacon group information of a node has shown this node beacon group member situation.Source node can obtain the beacon group information of described neighbor node in a last superframe from the beacon that described neighbor node sends.If node C is the neighbor node of node A, node C can receive the beacon of self neighbor node in a last superframe.Node C can receive the beacon of which neighbor node, just thinks that these neighbor nodes are all in the beacon group of node C.Node C can send its beacon group information at next superframe, makes its beacon group member can receive this beacon group information.If node A be node C beacon group member, then node A can obtain the beacon group information of its neighbor node C, and then whether decision node C can be used as routing node.In the ECMA-369 standard, a node can be learnt the beacon group member address of its neighbor node by the BPOIE in the neighbor node beacon, thereby grasps the beacon group information of its neighbor node.
S23: node A judges whether comprise node A and Node B in the neighbor node beacon group according to the beacon group information of neighbor node.
A node can be communicated by letter with own beacon group member at the MAC layer, so the A node can judge whether it can transmit data as routing node and self according to neighbor node beacon group member situation.If exist the beacon group of a neighbor node not only to comprise communication sources node A but also comprise target node b, illustrate that this neighbor node can be set up at MAC layer and node A, B communicate by letter, this neighbor node can be carried out transfer of data as routing node at this moment.
S24: when comprising node A and B at least one neighbor node beacon group, in described at least one neighbor node, select routing node.
Fig. 5 is the schematic diagram of another node beacon group interior nodes distribution situation.In Fig. 5, include node A and Node B in the beacon group scope of node C and node D.Receive the beacon group information of node C at node A after, but comprise A and B in the decision node C beacon group.In this Fig. 5, the beacon group scope of dotted line representation node C can be seen comprising A and B in its beacon group, illustrates that node C can be used as node A and B routing node.Also comprise A and B in the beacon group of other node D in addition among Fig. 5, then D also can be used as routing node, and node A can select routing node from node C and D.Thisly determine to need not the method for routing node MAC course upper strata and carry out primitives interoperation according to the beacon group scope, the upper strata also need not to upgrade routing table and selects route, has saved overhead.
In one implementation, the node A node that can select to have connected with it among C, the D is done routing node.In art methods, route need be determined for node in the upper strata of MAC layer, because the node connection state of MAC layer may not known in the upper strata, if setting up route with a certain node, node A is connected, route may be redistributed for node A in the upper strata, thereby increases delay, the increase expense of reconstruct route.In the method for the embodiment of the invention, if node A has set up good the connection with C, then node A can preferentially select C as routing node in Route Selection, needn't disconnect existing connection like this, can pare down expenses.
In another kind of implementation, node A can select to have communicated with among node C, the D the best node of situation and do routing node.Particularly, node A can obtain the communications link condition of node C, D and node A from the beacon of node C, D, thereby selects the better node of communications link condition as routing node, improves communication quality.
Be appreciated that when destination node in the source node beacon group, source node can be directly and destination node connect, then need not to connect by route implementing; When source node connects with destination node, then also the route of choosing group again connects.
S25: by routing node connected node A and the Node B of selecting.
Selecting node C with node A below is that example describes as routing node connected node B.Node A can initiate to consult and responded by node C, and negotiations process can realize by beacon or command frame.At the ECMA-369 standard, the embodiment of the invention has defined a kind of information unit (IE), is called path information unit (PIU), is used for internodal route and consults.Fig. 6 is the schematic diagram of a kind of path information unit (PIU) structure of providing of the embodiment of the invention two, and this path information unit (PIU) can comprise classification logotype, length and the information content of information unit.The information content can specifically comprise A address, B address, A/C address, access style and route sequence number.A, B address are represented the device address of communication node A, B respectively; A/C represents routing address in the address.If the A node sends request to the C node, it can comprise this path information unit (PIU) in beacon or command frame, and writes the address of C in the A/C of path information unit (PIU) address field; The C node can write the address of A in the A/C of information unit address field when A responds, consult thereby carry out route.Access style in the information unit and route sequence number are generally 8 bits (Bit), represent this 8 bits with b0 to b7 here.The type of access medium is consistent with the type of access medium between A, B when communicating by letter between b7 representation node A, C; B1 and b0 are only effective when node C sends information unit, and the route sequence number that representation node C distributes is used to differentiate the forwarding target of Frame; B2 to b6 is a reserved bit.
In one implementation, node A embeds route IE in beacon, and the A/C address field writes the C address, and requesting node C is forwarded to Node B with Frame.After node C receives request, embedding route IE as response in beacon, write the A address at the A/C address field, is that A and B distribute a route sequence number in the b1b0 territory, and this route sequence number represents that data are to transmit to B or A.
In another kind of implementation, node A sends the route requests command frame to C, and this route requests command frame is a seed category of command frame, partly includes route IE the frame lotus, and other parts of frame all are provided with by the ECMA standard code.Node C sends the route requests response, and partly includes route IE the frame lotus.
Node A takes which kind of mode and C to consult to depend on the regulation of A.In case consult successfully, node C can announce the routing node as A and B in beacon, because node A, B are all within the beacon group of C, so A, B all can receive the declaration result of C.Node C sends the beacon that embeds route IE in can each superframe after consulting successfully, with notify other node its just transmit data as the routing node of node A, B.After the route task of node C was finished, the A/C address field among its route IE can be made as broadcast address or not be provided with.
S26: node A and Node B transmit data by routing node.
Before the transfer of data of introducing node A and B, at first the structure of frame is simply introduced.Common frame can comprise: frame head (Header), frame lotus (Frame Payload) and verification sequence (FCS, Frame Check Sequence).Can contain information such as control field (FrameControl), source node address and destination node address in the frame head.Frame carries out addressing by destination node address; After node receives one's own frame, also be by different frame type (Frame Type) and the subframe type (Frame Subtype) of frame head identification.The frame lotus is a load data, comprises data content.Verification sequence is then tested with error control relevantly with the data of frame lotus, depends on the frame lotus and exists.
In one implementation, node A carries out following modification to the frame that needs send to B: the destination node address of frame head is made as the address of C, and 2 bit reserved area in control field write the route sequence number of routing node C for its distribution.After node C receives the frame that A sends, judge and find that it will transmit to C, then the destination node address of frame head is changed into the address of target node b, and then send to C.
In the ECMA standard, internodal transfer of data can be divided into distributed reservation (DRP, Distributed Reservation Protocol) agreement and prioritized channel access (PCA, Prioritized Channel Access) agreement is two kinds, supports respectively synchronously and asynchronous two kinds of data communication modes.The PCA agreement is a kind of carrier sense/collision avoidance protocol of differentiated service priority, and the communication mode of contention access medium is provided for equipment.DRP is that equipment room carries out reservation negotiation in the mode that distributes fully, realizes RSVP.Two or more equipment are monopolized some time slot in the data phase after consulting successfully, realize the time division multiple access visit, the synchronous data transmission that has service quality to guarantee.
Be that example briefly introduces with the DRP agreement below.The content information of equipment room reservation negotiation can be included among the IE, and consulting has two kinds of forms: implicit negotiation (be placed on IE in the beacon transmit) and explicit negotiation (be placed on IE use DRP or the transmission of PCA agreement in the command frame).Negotiations process is as follows:
1. source device sends reservation request.According to the operating position of self MAS, source device illustrates in request wishes the MAS set reserved.
2. destination device (having a plurality of) is replied this request.Destination device is analyzed the busy not busy situation of MAS in its superframe, judges and accepts still refusal.Acceptance is then put corresponding M AS state busy, and refusal is illustration in answer then, so that consult once more.
3. reserve and announce.Which kind of negotiation mode no matter is in case successfully promptly announce in beacon.Do not reattempt after miscellaneous equipment is learned and take, guarantee that reservation person monopolizes MAS.
This kind can realize effectively that based on the reservation negotiation communication mode of DRP agreement the data communication of equipment room consults, and avoids occurring the route conflict.
Further, present embodiment also can comprise S27: after node A and Node B transmission data finish, remove described routing node.
