In existing beacon frame information technology, inquiry website cannot be known due to targeted sites and initiate communication to oneself The concrete moment, therefore, targeted sites, within the time period sent between two beacon frames, needs all the period of time Monitor channel, the time so initiating to communicate due to targeted sites reception inquiry website is indefinite and the shortest, existing The efficiency of some all the period of time monitor channels is the lowest, the most energy-conservation.
In order to solve above-mentioned technical problem, illustrate the technical side of the present invention below by specific embodiment Case.
Embodiment one:
Fig. 1 shows the flow process of a kind of targeted sites means of communication that first embodiment of the invention provides, in order to It is easy to illustrate to illustrate only the part relevant to the embodiment of the present invention.
Step S101, targeted sites sends beacon frame, and described beacon frame includes the working time letter of targeted sites Breath.
Conventionally, as the beacon frame of targeted sites transmission does not include the working time of targeted sites Information, targeted sites, after being sent beacon frame, immediately begins to monitor working channel until targeted sites is sent out Giving next beacon frame, such targeted sites monitors inefficiency, the most energy-conservation.So that inquiry website is known Dawn, when targeted sites began listening for working channel, before realizing this step, it is thus necessary to determine that good targeted sites Operating time information, i.e. targeted sites monitor the temporal information of working channel, include when to begin listening for work Channel also lasts long, and described operating time information is included in the beacon frame that targeted sites sends. In embodiments of the present invention, as preferably, described beacon frame includes sending cycle information, targeted sites Beacon frame is sent according to the described transmission cycle.Furthermore, it is necessary to illustrate, sending out described in the embodiment of the present invention The mode sending beacon frame includes, broadcast beacon frame, multicast beacon frame and clean culture beacon frame etc..
In embodiments of the present invention, described operating time information is the time letter that targeted sites monitors working channel Breath, begins listening for the time information of working channel including targeted sites, and targeted sites monitors working channel Duration Information, if it should be noted that described Duration Information there is no occurrence, then In the present embodiment, the persistent period of targeted sites monitoring working channel is default value, can be such as half letter The mark frame transmission cycle etc..When implementing, described time information can use absolute time, beacon frame week Issue or beacon frame numbering represent, described Duration Information can use absolute time or beacon frame periodicity Represent.Described absolute time refers to, the length of the time period of employing is definite value, the transmission week with beacon frame Phase is unrelated, time here specifically, targeted sites begins listening for the moment of working channel and currently transmitted beacon frame Time period between quarter is definite value, and the length of the time period of targeted sites monitoring working channel is also definite value; Described beacon frame periodicity refers to, time period length is relevant with the transmission cycle of beacon frame, sending out for beacon frame Send the several times in cycle, here specifically, the moment that targeted sites begins listening for working channel is sent out with current Sending the time period between the beacon frame moment is the several times in beacon frame information cycle, and targeted sites monitors work The length of the time period making channel is also the several times in beacon frame information cycle;Described beacon frame numbering refers to, According to sending time sequencing, beacon frame is numbered, and by the numbering that obtains to definite value N remainder, works as remainder When being a preset value M, after sending this beacon frame, targeted sites immediately begins to monitor working channel.Enter one Step, described operating time information also includes that targeted sites periodically monitors the time cycle of working channel, table Understand that described operating time information is permanently effective, if operating time information does not include week described time Phase, then described targeted sites begins listening for the time information of working channel simply to be had within the intended time period Effect.Which the above-mentioned beacon frame realizing different schemes is needed to use different parameters, concrete needs parameter Subsequent embodiment is specifically described.
Further, described beacon frame also includes the working channel information of targeted sites, and targeted sites is at it Sending beacon frame in the channel held, the channel of described support can be one or several letter in transmission channel Road, or all of transmission channel.In communication network, each website can dynamically change the work of oneself Make channel, but only have a working channel in each moment, owing to existing beacon frame is without targeted sites Working channel information, then targeted sites can only send beacon frame, in this channel in current operating channel Inquiry website can initiate communication to described targeted sites as required, and is positioned at the inquiry website of other channels Just monitor less than described beacon frame message, if targeted sites sends beacon frame to other multiple channels simultaneously, by The working channel of targeted sites is not known in the inquiry website being positioned at these channels, the most just cannot be to described mesh Labeling station point initiates communication, this reduces targeted sites and is queried the probability that website finds.To this end, at this In embodiment, beacon frame also includes the working channel information of targeted sites, and targeted sites is sent out in multiple channels Sending beacon frame, the inquiry website being now placed in other channels (non-described working channel) just can get mesh The working channel of labeling station point, when such inquiry website needs to initiate communication to described targeted sites, change The channel of oneself is to described working channel, and the most described targeted sites just can be by all of inquiry website Find, increase the probability that targeted sites is found.A simple example is now enumerated, it is assumed that stand for the ease of understanding Point can be operated in 1KHz, 2KHz, 3KHz frequency range, if targeted sites is operated in the work letter of 2KHz Beacon frame is sent, then looking in other frequency ranges (1KHz, 3KHz frequency range) on road and to all of channel Ask website and can also listen to this beacon frame, if the inquiry website in these frequency ranges needs and described targeted sites Communication, is adjusted to 2KHz by its working frequency range, initiates logical on the working channel of 2KHZ to targeted sites Believe, it can thus be seen that targeted sites can be by the inquiry in 1KHz, 2KHz, 3KHz frequency range Website finds, increases the probability that targeted sites is found.
