STA obtains the probability that the uplink frame before this uplink frame is correctly received by A-AP, and when this probability is less than Second Threshold, RUT indication information is set to the first value by STA.

For example, the probability that the uplink frame before STA can oneself calculate correctly is received by A-AP, also can be that A-AP calculates the correct probability receiving uplink frame, then STA gets this probability from A-AP.

Generally, first threshold can be arranged according to the demand of transmission performance, if higher to transmission performance demand, it is higher that first threshold can be arranged, such as be set to 90%, if lower to the demand of transmission performance, it is lower that first threshold can be arranged, such as, be set to 70%.When this probability is greater than first threshold, illustrate that only A-AP is to uplink frame process, the possibility that this uplink frame is correctly received is very large, so RUT indication information is set to the second value, thus, both can ensure upstream performance, the resource of C-AP can be saved again.

For the setting of Second Threshold, usually also can arrange according to the demand of transmission performance.When this probability is less than Second Threshold, illustrate that only A-AP is to uplink frame process, the probability that this uplink frame is correctly received is lower, the probability that STA retransmits will be increased like this, so at this moment RUT indication information can be set to the first value by STA, thus, A-AP and C-AP all can carry out reception process to uplink frame, thus the probability that raising uplink frame is correctly received, ensure transmission performance.

It should be noted that, arranging of first threshold and Second Threshold, for preventing ping-pong, such as first threshold and Second Threshold are all thr0, then when the correct probability of acceptance fluctuates up and down around thr0, STA will enable and close RUT pattern pingpang handoff back and forth between the two.Therefore, usual first threshold and Second Threshold are set to different values, and first threshold is more than or equal to Second Threshold, and such as: first threshold is thr0+ Δ, Second Threshold is thr0-Δ.

The probability that uplink frame before describing calculating is in the embodiment above correctly received, then compares the size between this probability and threshold value, and then determines the value of RUT indication information to be set to the first value or the second value; But in practice, also the probability that the uplink frame before can calculating is not correctly received, then this probability and threshold value are compared, such as: STA obtains uplink frame before this uplink frame not by probability that A-AP correctly receives, when this probability is less than the 3rd threshold value, RUT indication information is set to the second value by STA; When this probability is greater than the 4th threshold value, RUT indication information is set to the first value by STA.Usual 4th threshold value is more than or equal to the 3rd threshold value.

In practice, also can by considering RSSI (ReceivedSignalStrengthIndication; Received signal strength indicator) or SINR (SignaltoInterferenceplusNoiseRatio; Signal Interference and Noise Ratio), or the retransmission rate of uplink frame, determine whether open or close RUT transmission mode.

Wherein, can calculate in the following manner: first method for retransmission rate, STA is a Successful transmissions m different frame altogether, and wherein individual being through of n (n≤m) retransmits just successfully, then retransmission rate is n/m, and transmission success rate is (m-n)/m; Or second method, STA is a Successful transmissions m different frame altogether, and wherein the number of transmissions (transmission+retransmit) of each frame is a _i(i=1 ... m), then retransmission rate is (∑ a _i-m)/∑ a _i, transmission success rate is m/ ∑ a _i.

Directly the correct probability of reception, the probability of garbled-reception may be defined as: network side receives m uplink frame by RUT mechanism is correct, wherein the individual frame A-AP of n (n≤m) directly correctly receives, then directly the correct probability received is n/m, and the probability of garbled-reception is (m-n)/m.

Optionally, before step 101, the method also comprises: STA receives the indication information that A-AP sends, and indication information is used to indicate STA and whether opens RUT transmission mode;

RUT indication information is at least set to the first value or the second value according to indication information by STA.

STA receives the indication information that A-AP sends, and specifically, can be that A-AP calculates the correct probability receiving the uplink frame of STA, when this probability is greater than first threshold, send indication information to STA.Or A-AP sends indication information according to other conditions to STA.

For example, when STA receives indication information, and when indication information is the 3rd value, RUT indication information is just set to the second value by STA.

Or STA receives the indication information that A-AP sends, and when indication information is the 4th value, RUT indication information is set to the first value or the second value by STA.

For the second situation, can be that indication information is set to the 4th value by A-AP, to indicate STA can open RUT transmission mode, now STA can decide in its sole discretion and whether open RUT transmission mode, so both RUT indication information can be set to the first value, also the second value can be set to, when STA decides in its sole discretion, can with reference to the quantity of surrounding AP, such as, STA detects that the AP of surrounding is little, and may not there is the C-AP associated with this A-AP, now can arrange RUT indication information is the second value.

Certainly, when indication information is the 4th value, also can represents and require that STA must open RUT transmission mode, so now STA arranges the value of RUT indication information is the first value.

A kind of preferred scheme is that the decision of enabling RUT is made by STA, because STA more easily accurately judges uplink frame retransmission rate, and the decision of closing RUT is made by A-AP, because A-AP more easily accurately judges that whether uplink frame is by oneself direct correct probability received.

Optionally, RUT indication information is arranged in the physics head targeting sequencing of this uplink frame.Such as: SIG (Signal) territory being positioned at this uplink frame, namely in signal domain.In practice, RUT indication information also can be arranged in service-domain.

Optionally, indication information can be positioned at physics head targeting sequencing or the MAC (MediaAccessControl of the downlink frame that A-AP sends to STA; Medium education) in head.

Optionally, RUT indication information and indication information can utilize the identical indicating bit in the physics head targeting sequencing of transmission frame to represent, for convenience of describing, this identical indicating bit is called the first indicating bit.Further, in this case, the indicating bit that represents uplink/downlink can also being comprised in physics head, for convenience of describing, being called the second indicating bit.When the second indicating bit represents uplink frame, the first indicating bit represents that STA enables/not enabled RUT transmission mode; When the second indicating bit represents downlink frame, the first indicating bit represents that A-AP requires STA On/Off RUT transmission mode.

In a further embodiment, before step 102, the method also comprises: STA sends the request message for setting up robust uplink RUT to A-AP, and STA receives the response message that A-AP sends.Wherein, response message may be used for instruction RUT and sets up, and also may be used for instruction RUT and sets up unsuccessfully.

Specifically, please refer to shown in Fig. 3, for setting up in the process of RUT transmission mode, the interaction figure between each network element.First STA is to the request message (step 1.) of A-AP transmission for setting up RUT; After A-AP receives this request message, send RUT cooperation request (step 2. with step 3.) by management entity to C-AP; When A-AP receives the cooperation response that the expression from C-AP confirms (step 4. with step 5.), to the response message that STA reply RUT has set up, corresponding, what STA just received that A-AP sends be used to indicate response message (step is 6.) that RUT set up.

Optionally, what can comprise STA in request message closes on AP list, and namely STA can intercept the AP near self in advance, then in request message, AP list can be reported A-AP, also special management frames can be used to report, so contribute to A-AP and select C-AP more accurately.

Optionally, the MAC Address of this STA is also included in request message, and MAC Address is also transmitted to C-AP by A-AP in cooperation request, so, after C-AP confirms cooperation relation, this MAC Address can be added in local cooperation list, when follow-up C-AP receives the uplink frame including RUT indication information, can judge whether to have with self the STA of cooperation relation to send by the MAC Address in cooperation list.

Certainly, the implementation method of another possibility is: A-AP carries the MAC Address of the first multicast address or A-AP in cooperation request, and then C-AP is after confirmation cooperation relation, the MAC Address of the first multicast address or A-AP is recorded in cooperation list.In this case, the first multicast address can be sent to STA sending to being used to indicate in the response message that RUT set up of STA by A-AP.Follow-up, the first multicast address can as the destination address of uplink frame, and the first multicast address is used for: by the first multicast address, C-AP can determine whether STA is validated user.

If what adopt is the MAC Address of STA, when generating uplink frame in a step 101, just the source address of uplink frame can be set to the MAC Address of STA, be convenient to C-AP and judges.

If what adopt is the words of the MAC Address of the first multicast address or A-AP, when generating uplink frame in a step 101, just the destination address of uplink frame can be set to the MAC Address of the first multicast address or A-AP, C-AP is when receiving this uplink frame, address in destination address and cooperation list is compared, judges whether to need to process this uplink frame.

Wherein, the MAC Address of STA can be carried at the TA (TransmitterAddress of uplink frame; Transmitter address) territory, the MAC Address of the first multicast address or A-AP can be carried at the RA (ReceiverAddress of uplink frame; Receiver address) territory.

Optionally, when STA generates uplink frame in a step 101, the identification information of the management entity belonging to A-AP is comprised in uplink frame, be convenient to C-AP and judge whether STA is validated user, generally, when the management entity mark belonging to A-AP and management entity marking matched belonging to C-AP, just can judge that this STA is as validated user, just can carry out subsequent step.Wherein this identification information can utilize the HESSID (HomogenousExtendedServiceSetIdentifier in WiFi; Homogeneity extended service set identification) represent, this identification information can be carried at MAC head part or the loading section of uplink frame, such as, be included in the 3rd address field of MAC head.

In a step 102, STA sends uplink frame, after step 102, if this uplink frame is correctly received, STA also can receive from A-AP and/or C-AP for notifying the acknowledge message that this uplink frame of STA is correctly received.The embodiment of this part is described in detail in the implementation process of the ascending transmission method of subsequent descriptions AP side.

Next please refer to shown in Fig. 4, is the flow chart of the ascending transmission method of AP side.The method comprises:

Step 201:AP receives the uplink frame that STA sends, and comprises RUT indication information in uplink frame;

Step 202:AP carries out RUT process to uplink frame; Wherein, AP comprises the association access point A-AP that associates with STA and has the access point C-AP that cooperates of cooperation relation with A-AP.

Optionally, when RUT indication information gets the second value, AP is the association access point A-AP associated with STA, and only A-AP carries out non-RUT process to this uplink frame.

Wherein, non-RUT process is carried out to this uplink frame, mode of the prior art can be utilized to process, such as: to the uplink frame decoding received; Judge whether correct reception according to Frame Check Sequence, if correctly receive, then send acknowledge message or do not send acknowledge message according to confirmation strategy to STA; If garbled-reception, then abandon this uplink frame.

In the present embodiment, AP both can be A-AP, also can comprise A-AP and C-AP, for the situation comprising C-AP, also not limiting the quantity of C-AP, both can be 1, also can be two, or three or more, the quantity of C-AP can be arranged according to the actual requirements.

Optionally, when RUT indication information gets the first value, before step 202, the method also comprises: C-AP determines that the source address of carrying in uplink frame or destination address are arranged in the cooperation list of C-AP; Or C-AP determines that the mark of the mark of the management entity belonging to the STA that uplink frame is carried and the management entity belonging to C-AP matches.

Introduce when the ascending transmission method of aforementioned description STA side, source address or destination address can be carried in uplink frame, and these addresses can when setting up RUT transmission, source address or destination address are recorded in cooperation list, compare so C-AP can be recorded with the address cooperated in list by source address or destination address, if be arranged in cooperation list, just can determine from the cooperation AP as the A-AP of this STA, namely this STA is validated user, so will process this uplink frame.

Introduce as aforementioned, also the identification information of management entity belonging to A-AP can be carried in uplink frame, so by judging whether the mark of the management entity belonging to the mark of the management entity that uplink frame is carried and C-AP matches, C-AP can determine whether this STA is validated user, if validated user, just can determine from the cooperation AP as the A-AP of this STA, so will process this uplink frame.Such as: the mark of management entity represents with HSEEID, and be carried in the 3rd address field of uplink frame, so C-AP resolves the 3rd address field and should be HESSID, instead of the BSSID (BasicServiceSetIdentifier of traditional WLAN; Basic service set identification).The method can accelerate validity judgement process, and AP Maintenance free cooperation list.

The legitimacy of STA is judged by cooperation list, a kind of possible implementation is: all A-AP are while the association accepting STA, the information of association is distributed to all AP under same management entity by management entity, each AP sets up a cooperation list based on the information of this association, and C-AP can judge the legitimacy of this STA by this list.

Another kind of possible implementation for: the MAC Address of all AP that oneself manages by management entity is distributed to all AP, and each AP safeguards a cooperation list be made up of the MAC Address of AP accordingly.In other words, the MAC Address of A-AP is recorded in cooperation list by C-AP, and C-AP can judge the legitimacy of this STA by this cooperation list.Such as: when C-AP receives a uplink frame, and when the RUT indication information of uplink frame is the first value, if the address of described uplink frame 1 (Address1) territory and a matching addresses in self cooperation list, RUT process will be carried out to this uplink frame.

Usually when STA is validated user, AP just carries out RUT process, malice STA so can be avoided deliberately to send the uplink frame that RUT indication information is the first value, make AP ceaselessly perform RUT process, and have no time to process regular traffic.Meanwhile, AP more accurately can judge which RUT uplink frame needs oneself process, with the wasting of resources avoiding unnecessary frame process to bring.Further, AP can screen and tackle malicious data frame, avoids impacting management entity.

The implementation process of following description step 202, in the implementation that the first is possible, step 202 specifically comprises: A-AP and C-AP judges whether uplink frame receives successfully; If receive successfully, uplink frame is transmitted to the management entity belonging to A-AP and C-AP by A-AP or C-AP.

Specifically, A-AP and C-AP decodes after the uplink frame that receives, according to the FCS (FrameCheckSequence in uplink frame; Frame Check Sequence) territory judges whether to receive correct, if correctly, then the uplink frame received is transmitted to management entity.When having at least one to be correctly decoded in A-AP and multiple C-AP, represent this uplink success.And in this implementation, the judgement whether uplink frame is correctly received is made by AP itself.

In the implementation that the second is possible, uplink frame comprises multiple burst, and such as uplink frame adopts Mid-CRC (Middle-CyclicRedundancyCheck; Intercycle redundancy check) mechanism carries out transmitting, and Mid-CRC mechanism refers to and transmission frame is divided into multiple burst, and each burst adds a CRC (cyclicredundancycode; Cyclic redundancy check (CRC)) territory, make each burst independent judgment can receive correctness, the structure of the transmission frame of Mid-CRC mechanism is as shown in Figure 5.Step 202 specifically comprises: multiple burst is transmitted to the management entity belonging to A-AP and C-AP by A-AP and C-AP.

Or A-AP and C-AP verifies multiple burst; The correct burst of verification is transmitted to the management entity belonging to A-AP and C-AP by A-AP and C-AP.

When not carrying out verifying for AP self and be directly transmitted to management entity, the work of burst verification has been come by management entity, and detailed checking procedure will in subsequent descriptions.

AP oneself is completed to the situation of verification, each AP is verified each burst by CRC territory, only the correct burst of verification is transmitted to management entity.Such as: for having the uplink frame of three bursts, the result of A-AP verification is that burst 1 is correctly received, the result of C-AP1 verification is that burst 2 is correctly received, the result of C-AP2 verification is that burst 2 and burst 3 are all correctly received, so successful for verification burst 1 is just transmitted to management entity by A-AP, successful for verification burst 2 is transmitted to management entity by C-AP1, and successful for verification burst 2 and burst 3 are transmitted to management entity by C-AP2.When management entity receives the burst of each verification succeeds, each burst is merged, find that all bursts have the duplicate of verification succeeds, the judgement that uplink frame is correctly received can be made.

In the implementation that the third is possible, step 202 specifically comprises: the received signal strength indicator RSSI when uplink frame of not decoding and reception uplink frame and/or Signal Interference and Noise Ratio SINR is transmitted to the management entity belonging to A-AP and C-AP by A-AP and C-AP; Wherein, the uplink frame of not decoding is the uplink frame value before channel decoding that A-AP and C-AP receives.How management entity carries out merging will be described follow-up.

Optionally, before step 201, the method also comprises: A-AP receives the request message for setting up robust uplink RUT that STA sends; A-AP sends cooperation request message to C-AP; A-AP receives the cooperation response message that C-AP sends; A-AP sends response message to STA.Specifically please refer to Fig. 3 and associated description.

Similar, the first multicast address, the MAC Address of STA or the MAC Address of A-AP can be comprised in cooperation request message.

Optionally, the MAC Address of the MAC Address of the first multicast address, STA or A-AP can be recorded in cooperation list by C-AP.

The source address of uplink frame can be set to the MAC Address of STA by STA, or destination address is set to the MAC Address of the first multicast address or A-AP, is so convenient to C-AP and judges.

After step 202, the method also comprises: when uplink frame is correctly received, A-AP and/or C-AP sends the acknowledge message being used to indicate uplink frame and being correctly received to STA.

In practice, sending acknowledge message also has numerous embodiments, below introduces three kinds of possible implementations, but is not limited to this three kinds of modes.

The first possible implementation: at once confirmed by A-AP.As a rule, when in the certain hour of C-AP after receiving uplink frame, can complete: uplink frame completes process on C-AP or management entity, and result is notified A-AP, A-AP completes the preparation of transmission.Now, acknowledge message can be sent after a certain time by A-AP, and this certain hour is generally SIFS (ShortInterframeSpace; Short interFrameGap).Which is applicable to three kinds of processing modes in abovementioned steps 202.

The implementation that the second is possible: multiple AP cooperation confirms.When being not enough to that in SIFS result is informed A-AP, then can after sifs, A-AP and/or C-AP of all correct this uplink frame of reception sends acknowledge message simultaneously.Preferably, the method is applicable to the first possible implementation of abovementioned steps 202.Certainly, for situation result can being informed A-AP in the SIFS time, this programme can be suitable for, and so can strengthen the transmission reliability of acknowledge message frame.Therefore, other two kinds possible implementations are also applicable in step 202.

The third possible implementation: delayed acknowledgement.When network side is difficult to complete data processing within the SIFS time and the message getting out acknowledge message, network side may need to send acknowledge message after the longer time.Now, network side, i.e. AP or management entity, after correct reception uplink frame, reply acknowledge message after obtaining media delivery chance next time.Wherein, in WiFi, AP occupies a period of time and channel transmits, and such resource is called media delivery chance, media and channel.And media delivery chance will be obtained, the mode by competition or AP United Dispatching realizes.Here, after AP receives uplink frame, obtaining new media delivery chance by attempting, once obtain, can acknowledge message be sent.For STA, after step 102, wait for RUT time-out time, if receive acknowledge message not yet after this time, then attempt retransmitting.Preferably, RUT time-out time is greater than existing ACK (Acknowledge; Confirm) time-out time.

Next will introduce ascending transmission method of the present invention from management entity side, the method comprises: management entity receives at least one duplicate of the uplink frame from site STA that association access point A-AP and/or cooperation access point C-AP forwards; A-AP is the access point associated with STA, and C-AP is the access point having cooperation relation with A-AP, comprise robust uplink RUT indication information, and RUT indication information is the first value in uplink frame; Management entity at least one duplicate to uplink frame carries out merging treatment.Wherein, represent the association access point A-AP associated with STA when RUT indication information gets the first value and have the access point C-AP that cooperates of cooperation relation all to receive this uplink frame with A-AP, and RUT process is done to this uplink frame.

Corresponding to the different execution modes in abovementioned steps 202, management entity also has different processing modes, and for the first possible execution mode of step 202, the correct arbitrary duplicate of management entity selection check is as merging frame.If all correct duplicates are all from C-AP, then management entity can also send to A-AP the notification message that this uplink frame correctly receives.The information such as MAC Address, frame type, sequence number of STA can be comprised in notification message.

Corresponding to the execution mode that the second of step 202 is possible, if AP does not verify burst, directly multiple burst is transmitted to management entity, so the multiple burst duplicates of management entity to each burst verify, using the amalgamation result of burst duplicate correct for verification as each burst.Specifically, when having at least one to verify correct in multiple duplicates of same burst, just will the correct burst duplicate of verification as the amalgamation result of this burst, when all bursts all exist the correct duplicate of verification, then this uplink frame receives correctly.

When AP is when the correct burst of verification is transmitted to management entity, management entity judges whether that all bursts all receive the correct burst duplicate of verification, and if so, then this uplink frame receives correct.

Corresponding to the third possible execution mode of step 202, AP does not carry out channel-decoding after receiving uplink frame, but is directly transmitted to management entity.Meanwhile, AP is also by RSSI (ReceivedSignalStrengthIndication during this uplink frame of this reception; Received signal strength indicator) or SINR (SignaltoInterferenceplusNoiseRatio; Signal Interference and Noise Ratio) send to AP controller; Management entity processes according to ad hoc rules by turn at least one duplicate, obtains and merges frame.Then merging frame is carried out channel-decoding, and judge whether to resolve correctly according to Frame Check Sequence territory to decoded frame.

Specifically, process by turn according to ad hoc rules, obtain and merge frame, a kind of concrete implementation method is: suppose that the kth place value of i-th duplicate of uplink frame is H (k, i), and total N number of duplicate, then the calculated value of the kth position of the i-th duplicate is wherein, for corresponding weighted factor, its value depends on RSSI or SINR, N be more than or equal to 2 integer, i is the integer between 1 to N, and k is positive integer, and the maximum of k depends on the frame length of this uplink frame.

The final value of the kth position of this uplink frame is determined according to following rule:

\tilde{H} (k) = \{\begin{matrix} 0, η^{k} &GreaterEqual; 0.5 \\ 1, η^{k} < 0.5 \end{matrix},

Wherein, represent the value of kth position after merging.In this case, whether uplink frame receives correct judgement and is made by management entity.

Optionally, uplink frame is up management frames, or Frame, if the SIFS time enough completes receive process and the information transmission from C-AP to A-AP, then RUT mechanism also can be used for control frame; Or the control frame be applicable to for non-frame interaction sequence initial frame, such as: CTS (CleartoSend; Remove request), HT-delayedBlockAck (confirmation of high-throughput delay block) frame, Data (+) CF-Ack (Contention-freeAcknowledgement; Uncontested confirmation)/QoS (QualityofService; Service quality) Data (+) CF-Ack etc.

It should be noted that, in the foregoing description, it is equivalent in meaning that " correctly receiving ", " receiving correct ", " successfully receiving " of appearance, " receiving successfully " are expressed, and is this uplink frame or duplicate or burst and is correctly received.Lower same.

Described as can be seen from above, in embodiments of the present invention, STA can carry RUT indication information in uplink frame, according to the difference of the value of RUT indication information, network equipment, such as A-AP and/or C-AP, can carry out different process to this uplink frame, such as: when RUT gets the second value, only A-AP processes this uplink frame, just can ensure the reliability transmitted, and only have A-AP process, so the resource of C-AP can be saved; And when RUT gets the first value, A-AP and C-AP all can process this uplink frame, improve the probability that this uplink frame is correctly received, can ensure the performance of uplink, such as reliability, robustness with the inventive method; Further, can retransmission probability be reduced, the efficiency of uplink is provided.Especially for the environment of high density WiFi equipment distribution, utilize the ascending transmission method in the embodiment of the present invention, can upstream performance be improved, to offset the equipment room interference that equipment dense distribution causes.
