Description

Cross-layer ARQ method in a kind of LTE-WLAN heterogeneous wireless network system
Technical field
The present invention relates to the data transmission problems in the heterogeneous wireless network environment, relate in particular to cross-layer HARQ (ARQ) technology that guarantees data transmission quality when under 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE) and wireless lan (wlan) interconnected systems framework, the multimode terminal between switches.
Background technology
In recent years, the Internet, communication technology fast development, people's quality of the life progressively improves, diversified intelligent terminal begins to popularize, people are growing to the demand of capacity, speed, flexibility and the quality of communication network, and the communication network of single-mode can't satisfy existing demand, and many cellular network provider begin to feel very anxiety for the shortage of wireless communication resources.On the other hand, future wireless network will be that according to only having the space transmission loss computing rule, transmission range shortens half take indoor communications as its main application scenarios, and power consumption becomes originally 1/4, and therefore, indoor covering communication mode meets the main flow of green communications; And for high-speed mobile or outdoor communication, we also must be by the covering of macro base station.Therefore, in order to improve the capacity of cordless communication network under the prerequisite of less change and low cost, realize simultaneously with indoor be covered as the high speed short distances such as main microcellulor or skin honeycomb cover with take outdoor cover as interconnecting between the macrocell of leading, the concept of heterogeneous network converged is suggested, and the access technology that is about to multiple different mode merges and forms novel heterogeneous network.In various heterogeneous network converged technology, the fusion of WLAN (wireless local area network) (IEEE 802.11 WLAN) and Cellular Networks (GSM, GPRS, CDMA, LTE) is subject to people and pays close attention to, with respect to Cellular Networks, WLAN has higher message transmission rate, but its coverage less, and generally do not support mobility, be applicable to indoor covering communication; On the other hand, compare with WLAN, the coverage of Cellular Networks is wider, support that the user has mobility more flexibly, but its message transmission rate is relatively low, is applicable to high-speed mobile or outdoor communication.Therefore, if we can integrate WLAN and Cellular Networks effectively, just user and cellular network provider can take full advantage of the complementarity of these networks.Particularly, Cellular Networks can by with the WLAN shared link load hold more user, simultaneously for the user provides higher message transmission rate, and can provide flexibly access network to select to the user, realize the seamless combination of indoor covering communication and high-speed mobile or outdoor communication.
In LTE-WLAN heterogeneous wireless network environment, in order to take full advantage of each link circuit resource and to be user's data, services that offers the best, terminal can be between LTE network and wlan network the switch data transmission path, the difference of two paths delay characters may cause the out of order arrival of IP packet; Terminal is in the process of toggle path, and the packet of transmission can temporarily be interrupted continuously, and therefore the partial data bag may be trapped in and switch in original route before, thereby causes the loss of IP packet.And the out of order or packet loss of IP packet all can cause transmission control protocol (TCP) link to enter the congestion control state, carries out fast the recovery or slow start-up course, thereby has a strong impact on link transmission performance.
The confirmation of ARQ agreement and retransmission mechanism not only can allow transmit leg retransmit the data of makeing mistakes when going wrong, and have also guaranteed the submission according to the order of sequence of receiving side data simultaneously.In order to guarantee the transmitting of Radio Link, media access control (MAC) layer of LTE agreement has been used mixed automatic retransfer request (HARQ) agreement, Radio Link is controlled (RLC) layer and has been used the ARQ agreement, and the data link layer of IEEE 802.11 agreements has been used the ARQ agreement equally.But the ARQ agreement of data link layer can not solve the data-bag lost that causes when terminal is switched or the problem of out of order arrival in LTE-WLAN heterogeneous wireless network environment, therefore, we need to use cross-layer ARQ method in LTE-WLAN heterogeneous wireless network system.
Summary of the invention
The problem that purpose of the present invention exists in order to overcome above-mentioned prior art, and provide cross-layer ARQ method in a kind of LTE-WLAN heterogeneous wireless network system, the present invention can solve the data-bag lost that causes when multimode terminal switches or the problem of out of order arrival effectively in LTE-WLAN heterogeneous wireless network system, thereby guarantees data transmission quality and systematic function.
The present invention adds respectively Microsoft Loopback Adapter between the data link layer of the terminal of LTE-WLAN heterogeneous wireless network system and gateway and network layer, to upper be the virtual fixing IP of application layer, avoid switching between heterogeneous networks because of terminal and cause the IP address to change, on the impact of the different physical links of lower shielding bottom; Cross-layer ARQ module is between the Microsoft Loopback Adapter and actual physics network interface card of terminal and gateway, and its realization comprises following steps:
(A) transmitting terminal
Transmitting terminal is safeguarded a send window, and send window moves in round-robin queue, and its length is fixed as the certain proportion of round-robin queue; In send window, the state of packet is divided into three kinds: NOT_SEND does not namely send; SEND_NOT_RESPONSE has namely sent but has not received confirmation; SEND_AND_RESPONSE has namely sent and has received confirmation;
Transmitting terminal comprises three parallel handling processes: send packet, confirmation of receipt character (ACK) information, upgrade the transmission state;
(1) concrete steps of transmission processing data packets flow process are:
(1.1) read the IP packet of some from the buffering area that Microsoft Loopback Adapter provides, and write the round-robin queue at send window place;
(1.2) in send window, from the lower edge, read successively a fixed number state and be NOT_SEND and do not send for empty IP packet, start simultaneously transmission timer, transmission times is added one, record No. SN (sequence number) of corresponding data bag, its state is set to SEND_NOT_RESPONSE;
(2) concrete steps of reception ACK message processing flow are:
(2.1) receive the ACK feedback, judge whether ACK information drops in send window for corresponding No. SN, if not, return; If obtain the relative position of this ACK in send window;
(2.2) according to the position of ACK at send window, the state that upgrades the correct packet that receives in send window is SEND_AND_RESPONSE, and the packet that can correctly not receive is arranged to NOT_SEND, prepares to retransmit;
(2.3) the send window lower edge is moved to first state on the packet of SEND_AND_RESPONSE, upgrade simultaneously the number that has sent packet;
(3) upgrading the concrete steps that send the state processing flow process is:
(3.1) check that in send window, state is corresponding transmission timer and the transmission times of packet of SEND_NOT_RESPONSE, if timer expiry, the state with this packet is set to NOT_SEND; If transmission times surpasses maximum retransmission, the state with this packet is set to SEND_AND_RESPONSE;
(B) receiving terminal
Receiving terminal is safeguarded a receive window, and receive window moves in round-robin queue, and its length is fixed as the certain proportion of round-robin queue.In addition, receiving terminal will safeguard that is also confirmed a waiting list, this formation comprises that several record node, and but each of formation records one of nodes records and correctly received or detected the sequence number of the packet of losing also not having enough time to be identified and the timestamp that this packet arrives or discovery is lost.This formation is to arrange according to the time sequencing that the correct reception of packet sequence number or discovery are lost, and correctly receives at first or detect the foremost that is recorded in formation of missing data bag.Detect when the data receiver correctly receives packet at every turn whether the missing data bag is arranged, if frame losing is arranged the sequence number of one or more missing data bag and current time stamp are inserted into the confirmation waiting list, then the packet sequence number that will correctly receive and current time stamp are inserted into the confirmation waiting list; Otherwise the packet sequence number that directly will correctly receive and current time stamp are inserted into the confirmation waiting list.

(2.1) judge that ACK confirms whether waiting list is empty; If empty, get No. SN from the lower edge of receiver window; If be not empty, get No. SN from first element of ACK confirmation waiting list;
(2.2) whether No. SN of obtaining of determining step (2.1) drops in receive window; If, No. SN as the ACK frame with this No. SN; If not, force No. SN as the ACK frame with the window lower edge;
(2.3) relation of No. SN of obtaining of determining step (2.2) and receive window lower edge.If identical, adopt accumulation bitmap ACK pattern; If different, adopt non-accumulation bitmap ACK pattern, select the ACK type according to the wrong or correct accepting state of bag;
(2.4) according to the ACK type structure ACK frame of selecting;
(2.5) No. SN of comprising in confirmation confirmed to delete waiting list from ACK;
(2.6) send the ACK frame.
9. the cross-layer ARQ method in LTE-WLAN heterogeneous wireless network according to claim 1 and 2 system, it is characterized in that: the ACK that safeguards of described receiving terminal confirms that the concrete steps of waiting list handling process are:
To confirm that waiting list all wait acknowledge times of front are greater than the knot removal that records of abandoning the acknowledging time thresholding, namely abandon the wait acknowledge time is confirmed greater than the packet of abandoning the acknowledging time thresholding, wherein abandon time-out time that the acknowledging time thresholding equals to send overtime timer and deduct and begin to send ACK from the data receiver and receive the processing time of this ACK to data receiver fully.
