Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to the communications field, in particular to a kind of transmission method and receiving station of empty feedback frame.
Background technology
Current, in field of wireless, WLAN (wireless local area network) (Wireless Local Area Network abbreviates WLAN as) fast development, it is growing that the right WLAN in the whole world covers demand.Institute of Electrical and Electric Engineers industrial specification IEEE802.11 working group has successively defined 802.11a, 802.11b, and a series of WLAN technical standards such as 802.11g are mainly formulated physical layer (PHY) and media interviews controls (MAC) layer standard.Other task groups have appearred subsequently successively, be devoted to develop the standard that relates to existing 802.11 technological improvements, for example, 802.11ah task groups is primarily aimed at the resource of exempting from licensed band below the 1GHz frequency range and utilizes, be used for supporting intelligent grid, sensor network, new network applications such as Cellular Networks load balancing.
802.11ah task groups is when formulating its technical specification, wish that the technical specification of 802.11ah continues to use the technical specification of existing 802.11 series as far as possible, in order to satisfy the peculiar attribute of 802.11ah itself, also can make suitable modification or formulate new technical specification existing technical specification simultaneously.The 802.11ah task groups determines that the bandwidth of operation of technology can be 1/2/4/8/16MHz at present; adopt OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing; abbreviate OFDM as) modulation technique; each OFDM symbol (comprising long protection at interval) duration is 40 μ s, and the required time of holding of each OFDM symbol has enlarged 10 times in these existing relatively 802.11 series standards.In other words, send identical information, the equipment power dissipation that adopts the 802.11ah technical specification will be to meet 10 times of existing 802.11 technical specification equipment, but the equipment that meets the 802.11ah technical specification has high requirements aspect energy-conservation,
Thereby this just need finish corresponding function with the more brief mode of intelligence transmission.Be called short response frame (Short Ack) such as proposing a kind of new radio frames among the 11ah, with empty Frame (Null Data Packet, abbreviate NDP as) frame structure identical, indicating the frame type of radio frames by the signaling territory is sky Frame or short response frame, the expense of so just having saved common Ack.
802.11 the basic network architecture be one and insert website (access point, abbreviate AP as) and a plurality of non-access sites (the non-AP Station related with AP, abbreviate STA as) formed a Basic Service Set (basic service set, abbreviate BSS as), each Basic Service Set has a BSSID (basic service set identifier, abbreviate BSSID as), and be that each non-access site that this basic service is concentrated distributes association identification (Association Identifier abbreviates AID as).Carrying out under the defeated situation of closed loop multi-antenna transmitting, if during the Beamforming transmission, send website Beamformer and need know channel information between itself and the receiving station Beamformee, so just need Beamformee to carry out channel measurement and channel measurement information (superelevation throughput compressional wave beam shaping frame VHT Compressed Beamforming frame) is fed back to Beamformer.Be example with superelevation 802.11 technology of (Very High Throughput) of handling up, channel measurement information comprises superelevation throughput multiple-input and multiple-output control domain (VHT MIMO Control Field) and channel measurement information report territory and physics frame head, the mac frame header overhead, when channel measurement information during greater than the packet maximum transmission time, Beamformee will send empty feedback frame to Beamformer, empty feedback frame does not comprise the channel measurement report, only comprises superelevation throughput multiple-input and multiple-output control domain (VHT MIMO Control Field) and physics frame head, the mac frame header overhead.Shown in the superelevation throughput multiple-input and multiple-output control domain accompanying drawing 1, when the feedback frame was sky feedback frame, the information field of only withing a hook at the end (Remaining Segments field) put one entirely at present, and other territories all keep and all zero setting.What as seen empty feedback frame was mainly finished is a function indication, but is subject to the interchangeable frame form, and it has carried many unnecessary information.Therefore, in transmission course, overhead is bigger, has caused resource waste.
