The embodiment of the present invention one provides a kind of method that STA obtains data in WLAN, in WLAN AP for accessing from it of STA obtain data.Fig. 1 show the typical network topology structure chart using technical solution of the present invention, root According to Fig. 1, WLAN 100 includes:Access point(AP, Access Point)120, and network is accessed by access point 120 Website(STA, Station)110-115, the STA110-115 being associated with same AP120 form a Basic Service Set (BSS);WLAN 100 accesses backbone network 140 by gateway 130, and then is connected to the server in network.
It should be noted that the STA in all embodiments of the invention refers to the basic logic entity in WLAN, STA is specifically as follows the terminal device comprising wireless lan interfaces, and such as many mobile phones, tablet personal computer all prop up in the market Hold wireless lan interfaces, portable machine also built-in wireless lan interfaces.Do not possess WLAN in itself for some to connect The equipment of mouth, can provide wireless lan interfaces by way of installing WLAN wireless network cards for it.
It should also be noted that, in all embodiments of the invention, " reserved time slot " is defined as beacon interval is segmented The time interval obtained afterwards, if the RAW in Fig. 3 is a reserved time slot, RAW1 and RAW2 are the one of reserved time slot RAW Part;Further, one " reserved time slot " can be sub-divided into smaller time interval, be referred to as " time slot ", in the present invention In embodiment, time slot is the minimum time unit for sending and receiving data frame, control frame or management frame.Meanwhile this area Technical staff is it is understood that a beacon interval can be divided into two or more reserved time slot, and each reserve Period can be subdivided into multiple smaller time slots again.
Fig. 2 show the method flow diagram that STA in WLAN provided in an embodiment of the present invention obtains data, according to figure 2, this method includes:
Step 201, STA is according to the beacon received, after knowing that AP has its downlink data, according to what is included in the beacon TIM, PS-Poll, Trigger are sent in the reserved time slot in current Beacon Interval(Trigger frame)Or the STA transmissions is upper Row data DATA,(The upstream data DATA that PS-Poll, Trigger or described STA are sent is properly termed as indicating frame)And receive institute State the downlink data that AP is returned after the sign frame is received.
Specifically, as shown in figure 3, in one embodiment, the idiographic flow of implementation steps 201 is as follows:Sent in AP After Beacon, in current beacon interval, a part of period is reserved(Such as the reserved time slot RAW1 in Fig. 3)Sent for STA The upstream data DATA that PS-Poll, Trigger or described STA are sent is used;After RAW1, a part of period is reserved(Such as figure Reserved time slot RAW2 in 3)Downlink data is sent for AP to use to STA;Only it is identified as in the TIM that current Beacon is included The first time slot that 1 STA allows to specify in RAW1 sends the upstream data that PS-Poll, Trigger or described STA are sent DATA, sleep state can be transferred to by being successfully transmitted the upstream data DATA of PS-Poll, Trigger or described STA transmissions STA, And in RAW2 corresponding second time slot wake up receive downlink data;Receive STA PS-Poll, Trigger or described STA After the upstream data DATA of transmission, AP arranges the transmission of downlink data in RAW2, wherein, according to definition before, when first Gap and the second time slot are special time section in reserved time slot, and the length of the first time slot and the second time slot can be according to reality Border demand flexibly defines;Such as in a preferred embodiment of the invention, the length of the first time slot can be TS1=PS- Poll+SIFS+ACK, the second slot length can be TS2=DATA+SIFS+ACK.
In the step 201 of the embodiment of the present invention, the corresponding time slot in two different reserved time slots goes to send respectively The upstream data DATA and receive downlink data that PS-Poll, Trigger or described STA are sent;Those skilled in the art can be with Understand, two different time-gaps in being set aside some time at one can also be used to go to send PS-Poll, Trigger or described The upstream data DATA and receive downlink data that STA is sent.
Step 202, it is described if the STA can not be properly received the downlink data in the reserved time slot STA is in the reserved time slot and then secondary sends upstream data DATA that PS-Poll, Trigger or described STA sends to obtain Take the downlink data.
Specifically, as shown in figure 4, in one embodiment, within the reserved period(That is the RAW in Fig. 4)If STA The upstream data DATA that PS-Poll, Trigger or the described STA sent is sent loses or error(Such as Fig. 4(a)It is shown), or The ACK for the upstream data DATA that PS-Poll, Trigger or described STA are sent loses or error(Such as Fig. 4(b)It is shown), or The DATA that AP is sent loses or error(Such as Fig. 4(c)It is shown), can all cause the STA can not be in specified in reserved time slot RAW Successful data reception in gap, at this time, if the PS-Poll number of retransmissions of the STA(The parameter that can be set, usually 7 times) Do not arrive maximum retransmission also, then the STA is in current Beacon interval, from another after reserved time slot RAW Reserved time slot, select corresponding time slot to send the upstream data DATA of PS-Poll, Trigger or described STA transmission again and obtain Take downlink data.The reserved time slot of division can be referred to as RAW in wherein Beacon Interval(Limiting and access window, restricted access window), but it is not limited to this title.
Further, as a kind of embodiment, STA can not in the assigned timeslot in reserved time slot RAW successful data reception Afterwards, the STA is corresponding from another reserved time slot after reserved time slot RAW, selection in current Beacon interval The upstream data DATA that time slot sends PS-Poll, Trigger or described STA transmission again obtains downlink data.In this tool In the implementation of body, whether the PS-Poll number of retransmissions that can be not concerned with STA reaches maximum retransmission.
In the present embodiment, STA can not be a kind of the reason for successful data reception in the assigned timeslot in reserved time slot RAW It is probably that STA sends the upstream data DATA failures that PS-Poll, Trigger or described STA are sent and led in reserved time slot Cause can not correctly obtain data.Such as due to PS-Poll, Trigger or described STA send upstream data DATA transmission when Between or the upstream data DATA ACK that sends of PS-Poll, Trigger or described STA receive the time and must not surmount setting time slot Failure is sent caused by border.Such as the upstream data DATA of PS-Poll, Trigger or described STA transmissions re-transmission Number fails caused by reaching default number of retransmissions.STA can not be properly received number in the assigned timeslot in reserved time slot RAW According to the reason for it is alternatively possible be that AP sends downlink data failure, for example, data are not properly received, the ACK that STA is sent does not have It is properly received, either can not resends data or ACK due to reaching time slot limited boundary.
Correspondingly, AP retains the data that be sent to the STA at least before current Beacon Interval terminate.
In another embodiment of the present invention, as shown in figure 5, in reserved time slot RAW, as the PS- that STA is sent The upstream data DATA that Poll, Trigger or described STA are sent loses or error(Such as Fig. 5(a)It is shown), or PS-Poll, The ACK for the upstream data DATA that Trigger or described STA are sent loses or error(Such as Fig. 5(b)It is shown), or AP transmissions DATA loses or error(Such as Fig. 5(c)It is shown)When, STA will be unable to the corresponding time slot successful data reception in RAW, at this time, If the PS-Poll number of retransmissions of the STA does not arrive maximum retransmission also, the STA is after current Beacon interval Another Beacon interval in, select a reserved time slot, and the corresponding time slot in the reserved time slot is sent again The upstream data DATA that PS-Poll, Trigger or described STA is sent obtains downlink data, that is to say, that in the present embodiment In, PS-Poll, Trigger or described STA transmissions can only be retransmitted within current Beacon Interval by not limiting STA Upstream data DATA obtains downlink data, but further expands to other after current Beacon Interval Beacon Interval come retransmit PS-Poll, Trigger or described STA transmission upstream data DATA.
Further, should after the corresponding time slot successful data reception that another embodiment STA will be unable in RAW STA selects a reserved time slot in another Beacon interval after current Beacon interval, and at this The upstream data DATA that corresponding time slot in reserved time slot sends PS-Poll, Trigger or described STA transmission again is obtained Downlink data.
Correspondingly, AP should retain the data that be sent to the STA until STA has correctly received the packet, or number Maximum retransmission is reached according to sending times, or the packet time-out is dropped.
In the implementation process of the present invention, STA is based on DCF(Distributed coordination function are distributed Formula coordination function)Or EDCA(Enhanced Distributed Channel Access, improved distributed channel access) Mechanism competition sends the upstream data DATA that PS-Poll, Trigger or described STA are sent, and at the end of time slot, STA stops weight Send out upstream data DATA, corresponding DCF or EDCA that PS-Poll, Trigger or the described STA being not yet successfully transmitted are sent State is frozen, until being continued again based on current DCF or EDCA states in the competition period in current BI either follow-up BI Competition, continue the upstream data DATA that PS-Poll, Trigger or described STA of transmission not yet sent successfully are sent, can also The transmission sent will be needed by resending the upstream data DATA of PS-Poll, Trigger or described STA transmissions of transmission The upstream data DATA that PS-Poll, Trigger or described STA are sent is retransmited once again.Or STA is according to slot length Most number of retransmissions that current time slots are allowed are calculated, when number of retransmissions is more than most re-transmissions that current time slots are allowed During number, stop retransmitting, corresponding DCF or EDCA states are frozen, the competition period in current BI or follow-up BI In continue to compete based on current DCF or EDCA states again.Also a kind of mode can be that STA calculates according to slot length Most number of retransmissions that current time slots are allowed, and current maximum retransmission is set to, when in current time slots When number of retransmissions reaches maximum retransmission, stop retransmit, and STA again competitive channel when DCF states with stop retransmit before DCF states it is unrelated.
The embodiment of the present invention is by above technical scheme, for that can not be handled during timeslot-based CSMA/CA channel access The situation of unsuccessful reception/transmission data, there is provided a kind of new mechanism allow STA again competitive channel to obtain downlink information, When knowing there is its downlink data as STA, but the downlink data of itself correctly obtained in the time slot do not specified in present period, The upstream data that another time slot sends PS-Poll, Trigger or described STA transmissions again is reselected after this period of time DATA obtains data, so that when the upstream data DATA that PS-Poll, Trigger or described STA is sent loses or goes out The ACK for the upstream data DATA that mistake, PS-Poll, Trigger or described STA are sent loses or the DATA of error or AP transmissions When losing or malfunctioning, STA remains able to correctly obtain data, improves the reliability of data transfer between STA and AP.

Correspondingly, AP retains at least before current Beacon Interval terminate will be sent to data acquisition facility 70 Data.Foregoing the first Transmit-Receive Unit 710 and the second Transmit-Receive Unit 720 can be the processing in a user equipment or STA A logic unit in device unit is directly implemented by processor unit.
In another embodiment of the present invention, in reserved time slot, the PS-Poll that sends when the first Transmit-Receive Unit 710, The upstream data DATA that Trigger or described STA are sent loses or error, or PS-Poll, Trigger or described STA are sent Upstream data DATA ACK lose or error, or AP send DATA lose or error when, will be unable in the reserved time slot Interior corresponding time slot successful data reception, at this time, if PS-Poll number of retransmissions does not arrive maximum retransmission also, second Transmit-Receive Unit 720 is in another Beacon interval after current Beacon interval, when selection one is reserved Section, and the corresponding time slot in the reserved time slot sends the upstream data of PS-Poll, Trigger or described STA transmissions again DATA obtains downlink data, that is to say, that in the present embodiment, not limiting the second Transmit-Receive Unit 720 can only be current Upstream data DATA that PS-Poll, Trigger or described STA sends is retransmitted within Beacon Interval to obtain lower line number According to, but other Beacon Interval for further expanding to after current Beacon Interval retransmit PS- The upstream data DATA that Poll, Trigger or described STA are sent.
Correspondingly, AP should retain the data of data acquisition facility 70 to be sent to until data acquisition facility 70 correctly connects The packet is received, or data re-transmitting number has reached maximum retransmission, or the packet time-out is dropped.
The embodiment of the present invention knows there is its downlink data, but do not exist by above technical scheme when data acquisition facility When the downlink data of itself is correctly obtained in the time slot specified in present period, another time slot is reselected after this period of time again It is secondary to send upstream data DATA that PS-Poll, Trigger or described STA sends to obtain data so that when PS-Poll, The upstream data DATA loss or error, PS-Poll, Trigger or described STA that Trigger or described STA are sent send upper When row data DATA ACK loses or the DATA of error or AP transmissions loses or malfunctioned, STA remains able to correctly obtain number According to improving the reliability of data transfer between STA and AP.
Example IV, the embodiment of the present invention also provides a kind of method that STA sends data in WLAN, for wireless The AP that STA in LAN accesses to it sends upstream data.Fig. 8 is shown in WLAN provided in an embodiment of the present invention STA obtains the method flow diagram of data, and according to Fig. 8, this method includes:
Step 801, STA receives the beacon that AP is sent, the corresponding time slot in the beacon in indicated reserved time slot Middle transmission upstream data bag;The time slot is a period of time section in the reserved time slot in current Beacon Interval;
Step 802, when the STA can not be successfully transmitted the upstream data bag in the assigned timeslot in the reserved time slot When, if the number of retransmissions of the packet does not arrive maximum retransmission also, the STA is in the reserved time slot and then secondary Send the upstream data bag.
Specifically, in one embodiment, as shown in figure 9, when assigned timeslots of the STA in reserved time slot RAW is without just Acknowledgement represents that the packet is not successfully sent, at this time, if the number of retransmissions of the packet to the ACK of sent out data Do not arrive maximum retransmission also(Can setup parameter, usually 7 times), then the STA is in current Beacon interval, from pre- Another reserved time slot after period RAW is stayed, selects corresponding time slot to send the packet again.
In another embodiment, as shown in Figure 10, STA can also be sent out again after current Beacon Interval Send upstream data bag.
It is further to note that reserved time slot can be referred to as RAW, but be not limited to this title, while Fig. 9, Figure 10 Simply by illustrate can not send upstream data when the mode that resends, but RAW3 title and the position discharged Putting might not as shown in Figure 9, Figure 10, can be flexibly selected according to being actually needed.
The embodiment of the present invention is by above technical scheme, for that can not be handled during timeslot-based CSMA/CA channel access The unsuccessful situation for sending data, there is provided a kind of new mechanism allows STA, and competitive channel to send upstream data, works as STA again When being successfully transmitted upstream data to AP in the time slot do not specified in present period, when reselecting another after this period of time Gap sends upstream data again, so that when the ACK of upstream data bag loses or malfunctioned, STA remains able to correctly send number According to improving the reliability of data transfer between STA and AP.
Finally it should be noted that:The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than its limitations;Although The present invention is described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, it will be understood by those within the art that:It still may be used To be modified to the technical scheme described in foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitution is carried out to which part technical characteristic; And these modifications or replacement, the essence of appropriate technical solution is departed from the scope of various embodiments of the present invention technical scheme.
