Description

A kind of cross-layer ARQ method in LTE-WLAN heterogeneous wireless network system
Technical field
The present invention relates to the data transmission problems in heterogeneous wireless network environment, particularly relate to cross-layer HARQ (ARQ) technology ensureing data transmission quality when multimode terminal under 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE) and wireless lan (wlan) interconnecting system architecture switches between.
Background technology
In recent years, the Internet, communication technology fast development, the quality of the life of people progressively improves, diversified intelligent terminal starts to popularize, the demand of people to the capacity of communication network, speed, flexibility and quality is growing, and the communication network of single-mode cannot meet existing demand, many cellular network provider have started to feel very anxiety for the shortage of wireless communication resources.On the other hand, future wireless network will be its main application scenarios with indoor communications, and according to only having space transmission loss computing rule, transmission range shortens half, then power consumption becomes original 1/4, and therefore, in-door covering communication mode meets the main flow of green communications; And for high-speed mobile or outdoor communication, we also must 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 lower cost, realize the high speed short distances such as microcellulor based on in-door covering or skin honeycomb simultaneously and cover interconnecting between the macrocell based on outdoor cover, the concept of heterogeneous network converged is suggested, and the access technology by 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, relative to Cellular Networks, WLAN has higher message transmission rate, but its coverage is relatively little, and generally do not support mobility, be applicable to in-door covering communication; On the other hand, compare with WLAN, the coverage of Cellular Networks is wider, support that 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, user and cellular network provider just can make full use of the complementarity of these networks.Particularly, Cellular Networks can by holding more user with the load of WLAN shared link, simultaneously for user provides higher message transmission rate, and access network flexibly can be provided to select to user, realize the seamless combination of in-door covering communication and high-speed mobile or outdoor communication.
In LTE-WLAN heterogeneous wireless network environment, in order to make full use of each link circuit resource and offer the best data, services for user, terminal can between LTE network and wlan network 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 continuously can temporarily be interrupted, and therefore partial data bag may be detained in original route before handover, thus 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 congestion control state, perform fast recovery or slow turn-on process, thus have a strong impact on link transmission performance.
The confirmation of ARQ agreement and retransmission mechanism can not only allow transmit leg retransmit the data of makeing mistakes when going wrong, also ensure that the submission according to the order of sequence of receiving side data simultaneously.In order to ensure the transmitting of wireless link, medium education (MAC) layer of LTE protocol applies hybrid automatic repeat-request (HARQ) agreement, wireless spread-spectrum technology (RLC) layer then applies ARQ agreement, and the data link layer of IEEE 802.11 agreement applies ARQ agreement equally.But the ARQ agreement of data link layer can not solve the problem of data-bag lost or the out of order arrival caused when terminal switches in LTE-WLAN heterogeneous wireless network environment, therefore, we need to apply cross-layer ARQ method in LTE-WLAN heterogeneous wireless network system.
Summary of the invention

Embodiment
Be described in detail to invention below in conjunction with accompanying drawing, but following examples are only illustrative, protection scope of the present invention is not by the restriction of these embodiments.
Fig. 1 is the overall architecture of LTE-WLAN heterogeneous wireless network system, and system comprises two multimode terminals, a Linux gateway and a LTE link and two WLAN links.The functional module that in system, each node comprises as shown in Figure 2, gateway and terminal are all self-defined realizes Microsoft Loopback Adapter and cross-layer ARQ agreement, in addition, gateway is self-defined realizing route selection, network address conversion module also, and the self-defined realizing route of end selects module.The position of cross-layer ARQ protocol module in LTE-WLAN heterogeneous wireless network system as shown in Figure 3, at transmitting terminal, ARQ module be input as buffering area A, export as buffering area C, in buffering area, save the pointer of IP packet.Microsoft Loopback Adapter writes IP packet to buffering area A, ARQ process reads these IP packets from the A of buffering area, write buffering area C again after sealing up No. SN, the physical network card of WLAN and LTE sends process read data packet from the C of buffering area again, completes and give out a contract for a project after adding respective protocol head; At receiving terminal, ARQ module be input as buffering area D, export as buffering area B, in buffering area, save the pointer of IP packet.ARQ process reads physical network card and catches the IP packet come from the D of buffering area, after whole sequence, feedback processing, the packet correctly received is write buffering area B according to the order of sequence, and Microsoft Loopback Adapter receiving process reads in through the IP packet of whole sequence from the B of buffering area, gives upper-layer protocol stack and processes.
The realization of cross-layer ARQ agreement is mainly divided into transmitting terminal and receiving terminal two parts:
Transmitting terminal maintains a send window, and as shown in Figure 4, send window moves in round-robin queue, and its length is 1/2 of round-robin queue.Wherein sendLowEdge points to send window lower edge, indicates first to send and does not correctly receive the packet of (SEND_NOT_RESPONSE), the packet that sendNumHighEdge indicates last to send.
Transmitting terminal processing data packets flow process, as shown in Fig. 5 a, Fig. 5 b, Fig. 5 c, mainly comprises three parallel processes: send packet, receive ACK feedback information, upgrade transmission state.

(1.2) in send window, from lower edge, a reading fixed number state is NOT_SEND and is not that empty IP packet sends successively, start transmission timer simultaneously, transmission times is added one, No. SN that records corresponding data bag, its state is set to SEND_NOT_RESPONSE;
(2) concrete steps receiving ACK feedback information handling process are:
(2.1) receive ACK feedback, judge whether No. SN corresponding to ACK information drops in send window, if not, then return; If so, the relative position of this ACK in send window is then obtained;
(2.2) according to the position of ACK at send window, the state upgrading the correct packet received in send window is SEND_AND_RESPONSE, and the packet that can correctly not receive then is arranged to NOT_SEND, prepares to retransmit;
(2.3) send window lower edge (sendLowEdge) is moved to first state not on the packet of SEND_AND_RESPONSE, upgrade the number having sent packet, i.e. the value of sendNumHighEdge – sendLowEdge simultaneously.
(3) upgrading the concrete steps sending state processing flow process is:
(3.1) effect that this step is main be to trigger Retransmission timeout and abandon retransmitting the packet exceeding maximum retransmission.The state in send window of checking is the transmission timer and transmission times that the packet of SEND_NOT_RESPONSE is corresponding, if transmission timer is overtime, then the state of this packet is set to NOT_SEND; If transmission times exceedes maximum retransmission, then the state of this packet is set to SEND_AND_RESPONSE.Time-out time should be arranged to slightly be greater than maximum link round-trip delay, and transmitting terminal transmission processing time and receiving terminal ACK construct time delay sum.
Receiving terminal maintains a receive window, and as shown in Figure 6, receive window moves in round-robin queue, and its length equals 1/2 of round-robin queue.ReceiveLowEdge is receive window lower edge, indicates first packet that can correctly not receive, and receiveNumHighEdge indicates last packet correctly received.
Receiving terminal processing data packets flow process, as shown in Fig. 7 a, Fig. 7 b, Fig. 7 c, mainly comprises three parallel processes: receive packet, structure send ACK feedback information, safeguard that ACK confirms waiting list.
(1) concrete steps receiving processing data packets flow process are:
(1.1) what judge to receive whether No. SN of packet drop on receive window can in range of receiving.If so, then by window reception; If not, then return;
(1.2) No. SN of the reception packet record (i.e. receiveNumHighEdge) whether being greater than last packet correctly received of receive window is judged.If so, step (1.3) is then proceeded to; If not, then directly proceed to step (1.4);
(1.3) upgrade receiveNumHighEdge, and joined by the receiving record between former receiveNumHighEdge and new receiveNumHighEdge in ACK confirmation waiting list, the order of insertion follows the process of No. SN circulation rising.These packets are temporarily regarded as the correct packet received, and be these packets interpolation timestamp.When these packets are after have passed through Retransmission timeout time * Retransmission timeout number of times, still do not have correctly to receive, just can force movably receiving window according to this timestamp;
(1.4) if receive packet also do not insert ACK confirmation waiting list, then the packet received is inserted ACK and confirm in waiting list;
(1.5) upgrade receive window lower edge, namely find first can correctly not receive after packet and No. SN that waits for not overtime packet receiving, upgrade receiveLowEdge with this No. SN;
(1.6) packet will correctly received, namely former receiveLowEdge is to the packet of new receiveLowEdge-1, removes window, gives the process of upper-level virtual network interface card, and confirms to delete corresponding record waiting list from ACK;
(2) to construct and the concrete steps sending ACK frame handling process are:
(2.1) judge that ACK confirms whether waiting list is empty.If it is empty, then No. SN is got from the lower edge of receiver window; If not empty, then confirm to get No. SN first element of waiting list from ACK;
(2.2) whether determining step (2.1) No. SN of obtaining drops in receive window.If so, then using this No. SN as ACK frame No. SN; If not, then force No. SN using window lower edge as ACK frame;
