Abstract

The invention discloses a dual-frequency combined terahertz wireless local area network protocol architecture. The architecture comprises physical layers and a data link layer. The physical layers comprise a 2.4GHz physical layer (PHY) based on a 802.11 protocol, and a terahertz PHY. The data link layer comprises two levels of media access control (MAC) sublayer.

Description

The Terahertz protocol of wireless local area network framework that a kind of double frequency combines
Technical field
The present invention relates to wireless communication technology field, the Terahertz protocol of wireless local area network framework of specifically a kind of double frequency combination.
Background technology
The procotol framework of the Wi-Fi local area network (LAN) based on agreements such as 802.11a/b/g/n of the 2.4GHz/5GHz frequency range of being used widely at present simplifies reference model as shown in Figure 1, it is mainly divided into physical layer (PHY) and data link layer (MAC), MAC layer is made up of MAC protocol sublayer and MAC administration module, and PHY layer relies on (PMD) sublayer by physical media, physical layer protocol converges (PLCP) sublayer and PHY administration module forms.
In this network configuration, communication frequency generally adopts 2.4GHz or 5GHz, and antenna all have employed nearly omnidirectional antenna, to ensure larger cyberspace coverage.But the loss of electromagnetic wave at free space and square positive correlation of frequency, namely carrier frequency often improves a magnitude, and electromagnetic free-space loss is by raising 20 decibels (dB), and the received signal to noise ratio of communication system will reduce 20dB.Therefore at Terahertz frequency range (carrier frequency is between 100GHz to 10THz), the 2.4GHz/5GHz adopted due to the existing Wi-Fi of communication carrier frequency ratio improves more than nearly two magnitudes, the received signal to noise ratio of communication system will reduce nearly more than 40dB, in order to reach the received signal to noise ratio identical with original communication system, just require that when transmitting power is constant dual-mode antenna gain improves nearly more than 40dB.We know that the antenna beamwidth of 10dB gain is approximately 45 degree, and the antenna beamwidth of 35dB gain just only only has 2.6 degree, reduces a more than magnitude.Therefore, the WLAN (wireless local area network) built in Terahertz frequency range is due to the improve of carrier frequency, and antenna beamwidth will greatly narrow, and coverage will sharply reduce, and existing Wi-Fi network structure cannot realize effective large regions scope and cover.
In order to solve the problem of this coverage, a kind of possible technical scheme adopts beam forming and control technology, as phased array antenna, utilizes beam forming and electric scanning mode to carry out rapid scanning aligning, communicate after aligning again.Namely this technical scheme is have employed in WLAN (wireless local area network)/territory fidonetFido 802.15.3c and 802.11ad of 60GHz frequency range.802.15.3c the beam control scheme adopted in as shown in Figure 2, its user access and wave beam are aimed at and are realized by adjusting beamwidth in real time, namely at user's access phase, antenna beamwidth is regulated toward meticulous sensing gradually from half omnidirectional, lock user region step by step, the antenna recycling high directed high-gain after accurately pointing to and aiming at carries out high speed data transfer communication.The beam control scheme adopted in 802.11ad as shown in Figure 3, its user access and wave beam are aimed at point sending and receiving end and are carried out respectively, that is: at user's access phase, first the nearly omnidirectional antenna Received signal strength of receiving terminal, transmitting terminal adjusts transmit beam direction in real time, omni-directional antenna transmission signal is used instead after finding best re-pointing, receiving terminal adjusts antenna again for accurately pointing to and real-time its beam direction of adjustment, after finding optimum reception sensing, receiving-transmitting sides utilizes high directional antenna to carry out fine alignment more simultaneously, to reach best alignment result, carry out high speed data transfer communication more subsequently.
Because Terahertz frequency range is higher at least again than 60GHz frequency range more than 1 times, therefore the gain of antenna will be larger, its beamwidth is narrower, if in the technical scheme that Terahertz frequency range adopts this similar spin-scanning alignment to communicate again, the spin-scanning alignment time needed will be longer, thus reduce the whole efficiency of local area network (LAN).Meanwhile, this spin-scanning alignment strategy itself is also very complicated and loaded down with trivial details, is difficult in actual applications realize.In addition, the core electron device of Terahertz frequency range is ripe not enough, and the phase array chip producing Terahertz frequency range is also more difficult, thus the current generation adopt beam forming and control program also unrealistic.Moreover because the wavelength of Terahertz frequency range is very short, it is all poor to characteristics such as the penetrating of material, diffraction, is easy to blocked by human body, article etc. and cannot realize efficient communication when indoor local area network is applied, now spin-scanning alignment again the communication technology will lose efficacy.
