Description
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of data communications, and in particular, to a data transmission method and apparatus.
Background
Currently, as more people use WLANs for data communications, the load on WLAN networks is increasing. Particularly, in a dense deployment scenario, as the number of Access Points (APs) and the number of non-AP stations (non-AP STAs) increase, the situation of basic service set Overlap (OBSS) is severe, the interference situation is complex, and the efficiency of the WLAN network tends to decrease significantly.
One problem that is inevitable in WLAN networks is hidden stations. As shown in fig. 1A. The station A sends data to the station B, and the station C also sends data to the station B, because the C and the A are both out of the coverage range of each other, the simultaneous sending of the A and the C causes conflict, and the B cannot correctly receive the data. A and C are hidden sites of each other.
In order to avoid the interference of the OBSS and solve the hidden station problem, 802.11 has a protection mechanism, that is, before sending the data frame, the transceiver and the transceiver interactively send a Request To Send (RTS) frame and a channel reservation response (CTS) frame to perform channel reservation. Fig. 1B is a schematic diagram of RTS and CTS frame exchange, and in combination with fig. 1B, the specific way of channel reservation is: the sender sends RTS frame, which contains a time domain (channel reservation time) to indicate the time length needed by the sender to complete frame exchange; the receiver responds to the CTS frame, which also contains a time field to ensure that the sender can complete the frame exchange. Other listening stations which listen to the RTS/CTS set a Network Allocation Vector (NAV), and the value of the NAV is set as the maximum value of the two time domains; in the time, the overhearing station cannot send data, so that the situation that hidden nodes compete for channels and cause collision is avoided. The NAV decreases with the time slot, and other stations can transmit data after the NAV decreases to zero.
The frame lengths of RTS and CTS are short, so a station can send RTS first before sending a data frame, if CTS is successfully received, the channel condition is good, and if the channel is reserved, data is continuously sent, and if RTS is not successfully received, collision is indicated, or the channel condition is not good. The cost of using RTS/CTS to detect the channel is low, the response is fast, and the waste of channel resources caused by directly sending long data frames but generating collision is avoided.
In the prior art, the RTS is not sent before any data is sent, but the station sets an RTS threshold, and when the length of a data frame exceeds the RTS threshold, the RTS/CTS handshake is performed before the data frame is sent. The RTS threshold is set by the station itself, and in an intensive scene environment, if the station itself sets the RTS threshold to be very high, the station does not send RTS before all data is sent, and thus more collisions may be caused. However, this scheme has the disadvantages that the flexibility is not high, and for a scenario where a station sends a short frame, forcing to turn on the RTS causes some overhead, and the channel transmission efficiency is reduced.

Detailed Description
The following further description of the present invention, in order to facilitate understanding of those skilled in the art, is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. In the present application, the embodiments and various aspects of the embodiments may be combined with each other without conflict.
Referring to fig. 2, the present invention provides a data transmission method, including:
in step 140, the second station performs channel reservation when it needs to send a data frame.
Step 140 specifically includes:
And receiving a confirmation frame corresponding to the channel reservation request frame replied by the first site, which indicates that the channel reservation is successful.
Preferably, before step 140, the method further comprises:
when confirming that the channel reservation needs to be executed, executing step 140; when the length of the data frame is smaller than a threshold value, executing the step of sending the data frame;
upon confirmation that channel reservation need not be performed, step 150 is performed.
Wherein step 130 is performed in any of the following ways:
the first method is as follows:
confirming whether channel reservation needs to be executed according to channel reservation indication information carried by a threshold parameter set; wherein the channel reservation indication information is used to indicate whether the second station transmits the channel reservation request frame;
when the channel reservation indication information indicates that the second station sends the channel reservation request frame, confirming that channel reservation needs to be executed; confirming that channel reservation does not need to be executed when the channel reservation indication information indicates that the second station does not transmit the channel reservation request frame;
the second method comprises the following steps:
confirming whether channel reservation needs to be executed or not according to channel reservation indication information carried by a threshold parameter set and a first area information set;
confirming that channel reservation needs to be performed when the channel reservation indication information indicates that the second station transmits the channel reservation request frame and the area information of the second station belongs to the first area information set; otherwise, confirming that the channel reservation does not need to be executed;
the third method comprises the following steps:
confirming whether channel reservation needs to be executed or not according to channel reservation indication information carried by a threshold parameter set and a first QoS level set;
when the channel reservation indication information indicates that the second station transmits the channel reservation request frame and the QoS level of the data frame to be transmitted belongs to the first QoS level set, confirming that channel reservation needs to be executed; otherwise, it is confirmed that the channel reservation does not need to be performed.
The first station may send the threshold parameter set to the second station in a unicast, multicast, or broadcast manner, and in particular, the sending may be periodic, event-triggered, or request from the second station.
After receiving the threshold parameter set sent by the first site, the second site confirms whether channel reservation needs to be executed or not according to information carried by the threshold parameter set and determines the size of the threshold value.
Or after receiving the threshold parameter set, the second station determines, periodically or aperiodically, whether it needs to perform channel reservation or not according to the information carried by the threshold parameter set, and determines the size of the threshold value, due to the change of its own geographical location or the change of its own surrounding wireless environment. The second station may do this at idle times when it is not transmitting or receiving, or before each data frame is transmitted.
Example one
In the embodiment of the present invention, a first station is taken as an AP, and a second station is a non-access station non-AP STA (STA for short) associated with the AP. The AP sends the threshold parameter set to the STA associated with the AP in a system message Beacon frame or a Probe Response frame sent by the AP.
In the embodiment of the invention, the threshold parameter set comprises the corresponding relation between the area information and the threshold value. It should be noted that the unit of the threshold value may be represented by bytes, or may be represented by the length of the transmission time. Before step 110, the AP sets the correspondence between the area information and the threshold value. In this embodiment, the area information refers to a sector to which the STA belongs. As shown in fig. 3A. How to divide sectors belongs to the prior art, generally, for a BSS, an AP may divide sectors of the BSS according to the coverage area of a directional antenna, and an STA associated with the AP belongs to a certain sector. Alternatively, the AP divides the entire BSS into sectors according to the site geographical location distribution of the STAs associated therewith. The threshold value for sending RTS frames set by each sector may be the same or different. The sector information of the STA is notified in advance by the AP in a signaling manner, or the STA confirms the location of the sector where it is located through a channel sounding (sounding) process.
See table 1 for an exemplary threshold parameter set.
| Sector area | RTS threshold value (unit: byte) |
| Sector 1 | 1500 |
| Sector 2 | 1500 |
| Sector 3 | 1000 |
| … | … |
Table 1 is an exemplary table of threshold parameter sets for which the region information is a sector
If the RTS threshold of an AP is set to be very small or set to 0, it indicates that an STA in the sector always needs to send an RTS frame before sending a data frame to the AP, and if the RTS threshold is set to be very large, it indicates that the STA does not need to send an RTS frame before sending a data frame to the AP.
The AP may flexibly and independently configure the threshold of each sector according to the receiving situation, for example, when the data transmission success rate of a certain sector is higher, the RTS threshold is set to a larger value, because the data transmission success rate of a certain sector is higher, which indicates that the probability of collision is smaller, so the RTS threshold may be set to a larger value, which reduces the overhead caused by sending the RTS frame. When the success rate of data transmission of a certain sector is low, there may be more hidden stations of the station of the sector, and the AP may set the RTS threshold of the sector where the hidden station of the sector is located to a small value, so that the RTS of the station of the sector is turned on, thereby performing channel protection and reducing collision.
The STA receives the threshold parameter set sent by the AP, and determines the RTS threshold value of the sector according to the own region information, namely the sector where the STA is located. For example, according to table 1, if the Sector in which the STA is located is Sector2, the STA may determine that the corresponding threshold is 1500 bytes. Before sending a data frame to the AP, if the length of the data frame is greater than the RTS threshold, an RTS frame is sent first. If the length of the data frame is smaller than the RTS threshold value, the RTS frame does not need to be sent first.
If the effective time length of the threshold value is also included in the threshold parameter set, the STA starts timing at the end time of receiving the wireless frame carrying the parameter set, and in the time range, the STA judges whether to send an RTS frame before sending a data frame to the AP by using the threshold value in the parameter set. When this time is over, the STA should not continue to use the threshold value, but rather locally save and use the most recently transmitted set of threshold parameters by the AP.
Example two
As shown in fig. 3B. In the embodiment of the present invention, the threshold parameter set sent by the AP includes a correspondence between the area information and the threshold value. In this embodiment, the area information may be set as a wireless signal measurement parameter of the STA.
In step 120, the obtaining, by the second station, the threshold value corresponding to the station according to the threshold parameter set includes: and acquiring the threshold corresponding to the site according to the wireless signal measurement parameter of the site and the corresponding relation between the wireless signal measurement parameter and the threshold.
The wireless signal measurement parameters of the STA may be: the received power of the STA, the Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) of the STA, the packet error rate of the STA in a certain time, or a functional relation using the transmission power of the AP, the RSSI of the STA, and the transmission power as parameters.
In the actual communication process, the measurement parameter result of the wireless signal of the STA changes according to the position of the STA and the change of the surrounding wireless environment in the communication process of the STA and the AP, and different positions have a certain change range, so that the area of the STA can be determined according to the measurement parameter of the wireless signal.
For example, the radio signal measurement parameter is the received signal strength indication RSSI of the STA, and then the correspondence between RSSI and threshold value will be set in the set of threshold parameters.
See table 2 for an exemplary threshold parameter set.
| RSSI(dBm) | RTS threshold value (byte) |
| -30～-40 | 2000 |
| -40～-50 | 1500 |
| -50～-60 | 500 |
| … | … |
Table 2 example table of threshold parameter sets where the zone information is a wireless signal measurement parameter
In the actual operation process, the AP side measures the power of the signal sent by the STA, calculates the signal-to-noise ratio when the signal sent by the STA is interfered, performs statistics, and adjusts the threshold of the RTS, for example, reduces the threshold of the RTS, and increases the RTS sent by the STA when the interference reaches a certain degree, thereby achieving the purpose of transmission protection.
The STA receives the parameter table sent by the AP, and determines the interval of the RSSI and the corresponding RTS threshold value according to the own area information, namely the RSSI value measured by the STA on the received signal. For example, the RSSI of the STA is-45 dBm, then the STA may determine that the local station corresponds to a threshold of 1500 bytes. Before sending a data frame to the AP, if the length of the data frame is greater than the RTS threshold, an RTS frame is sent first. If the length of the data frame is smaller than the RTS threshold value, the RTS frame does not need to be sent first.
For another example, the radio signal measurement parameter is a functional relation in which the transmission power of the AP, the RSSI of the STA, and the transmission power are parameters. Let M be the radio signal measurement parameter, then M ═ f (AP transmit power, RSSI of STA, STA transmit power, other parameters). And f (x) is a functional relation.
M corresponds to a threshold value, an exemplary threshold parameter table is shown in table 3.
| M(dBm) | RTS threshold value (byte) |
| -30～-40 | 2000 |
| -40～-50 | 1500 |
| -50～-60 | 500 |
| … | … |
Table 3 is an exemplary table of threshold parameter sets in the case that the area information is a wireless signal measurement parameter
EXAMPLE III
As shown in fig. 3C. In this example, the area information is an area determined by the sector and the radio signal measurement parameter, and the station determines its corresponding threshold value by the sector where the station is located and the radio signal measurement parameter.
See table 4 for an exemplary parameter table of the correspondence of sector, radio signal measurement parameters and threshold values.
Table 3 is a parameter table of the corresponding relationship between the sector, the wireless signal measurement parameter and the threshold value
Under the condition that the regional information comprises the sector where the site is located and the wireless signal measurement parameters, the obtaining of the threshold value corresponding to the site according to the threshold parameter set comprises: and acquiring the corresponding threshold value of the local station according to the corresponding sector and wireless signal measurement parameters of the local station and the corresponding relation between the sector and wireless signal measurement parameters and the threshold value.
For example, the second station receives the threshold parameter set sent by the first station, where the threshold parameter set carries the corresponding relationship between the sector, the wireless signal measurement parameter, and the threshold value shown in table 3, the sector of the second station is sector2, and the RSSI is-45 dBm, so that the second station can determine that the threshold value corresponding to the station is 1000 bytes.
Example four
As shown in fig. 3D. In this embodiment, the first station is an access point AP, and the second station is a non-access station non-AP STA associated with the AP, referred to as STA for short. The AP sends the threshold parameter set and the channel reservation indication information to the STA associated with the AP in a system message Beacon frame or a Probe Response frame sent by the AP. The channel reservation indication information can explicitly notify the STA whether to transmit an RTS frame before transmitting a data frame to the AP.
In this embodiment, the threshold parameter set includes a corresponding relationship between the threshold value and the region information. The unit of the threshold value can adopt bytes or transmission time length.
If the AP sets that the STA needs to send an RTS frame (corresponding bit is set to 1) before sending a data frame to the AP, the STA first determines its RTS threshold according to its own region information, and if the length of the data frame sent to the AP is greater than the RTS threshold, first sends the RTS frame. If the length of the data frame is smaller than the RTS threshold value, the RTS frame does not need to be sent first.
If the AP sets that the STA does not need to send an RTS frame (the corresponding bit is set to 0) before sending the data frame to the AP, the STA may ignore the threshold parameter and not send an RTS frame before sending the data frame to the AP.
EXAMPLE five
In this embodiment, the first station and the second station are both non-AP STAs, and the two stations perform direct connection communication. In this case, the two stations should exchange the threshold parameter sets of their respective RTS frames through the management frame before starting transmission, and the parameter examples and the parameter using methods are the same as those in the previous embodiment and are not described again.
EXAMPLE six
In this embodiment, the first station is an access point AP, and the second station is a non-access station non-AP STA associated with the AP, referred to as STA for short. The AP sends the threshold parameter set to the STA associated with the AP in a system message Beacon frame sent by the AP or a Probe Response frame.
In this embodiment, the threshold parameter set includes a corresponding relationship between a QoS level of the data frame and a threshold value. That is, the QoS class of the data frame corresponds to a certain RTS threshold. The QoS class of the data frame may be a priority of a traffic flow or an Access category (Access category) to which the data belongs.
Taking access categories as an example, there are four types of access categories in the prior art, which are: AC-BK (Background), AC-BE (Best effort), AC-VO (Voice), and AC-VI (Video). The frame lengths of data frames with different access categories may be different and therefore the RTS threshold may be set separately. The following is an example of a table of threshold parameters for threshold values for data QoS levels.
Before the STA sends the data frame to the AP, a corresponding RTS threshold value is determined according to the QoS grade of the data frame to be sent, when the length of the data frame exceeds the threshold value, the RTS frame is sent firstly, otherwise, the data frame is sent directly.
EXAMPLE seven
In this embodiment, the first station is an access point AP, and the second station is a non-access station non-AP STA associated with the AP, referred to as STA for short. And the AP sends the threshold parameter set to the STA associated with the AP in a system message Beacon frame sent by the AP.
In this embodiment, the threshold parameter level includes a threshold value when the STA sends the RTS frame to the AP, and explicitly notifies the STA whether to send the RTS frame before sending the data frame to the AP.
If the AP sets that the STA needs to send an RTS frame before sending the data frame to the AP (the corresponding bit is set to be 1), if the length of the data frame sent by the STA to the AP is greater than an RTS threshold value, the RTS frame is sent firstly. If the length of the data frame is smaller than the RTS threshold value, the RTS frame does not need to be sent first.
If the AP sets that the STA does not need to send an RTS frame (the corresponding bit is set to 0) before sending the data frame to the AP, the STA may ignore the threshold parameter and not send an RTS frame before sending the data frame to the AP.
Example eight
In this embodiment, the threshold parameter set sent by the AP to the associated STA includes the first area information set and the channel reservation indication information.
The first set of region information includes one or more region information. The area information is a sector to which the STA belongs, or wireless measurement parameters of the STA, or a sector and the wireless measurement parameters.
The STA confirms whether channel reservation needs to be executed according to the channel reservation indication information carried by the threshold parameter set and the first area information set; wherein when the channel reservation indication information indicates that the second station transmits the channel reservation request frame and the area information of the second station belongs to the first area information set, it is determined that channel reservation needs to be performed; otherwise, confirming that the channel reservation does not need to be executed;
for example, when the channel reservation indication information indicates that the second station transmits the channel reservation request frame, if the area information in the first area information set is a sector, the STA determines whether the sector belongs to a sector notified by the first area information set, and if so, determines that the channel reservation needs to be performed, and performs the channel reservation before transmitting the data frame; under the condition that the area information in the first area information set is the wireless measurement parameter, the STA judges whether the wireless measurement parameter of the STA belongs to the wireless measurement parameter notified by the first area information set, if so, the STA confirms that the channel reservation needs to be executed, and executes the channel reservation before sending the data frame; if the area information in the first area information set is the sector and the wireless measurement parameter, the STA judges whether the own sector belongs to the sector notified by the first area information set and judges whether the own wireless measurement parameter belongs to the wireless measurement parameter notified by the first area information set, and if both are yes, it is determined that the channel reservation needs to be performed, and the channel reservation is performed before the data frame is transmitted. In another example, in the case where the area information in the first area information set is a sector and a wireless measurement parameter, the STA determines whether or not its own sector belongs to a sector notified by the first area information set and determines whether or not its own wireless measurement parameter belongs to a wireless measurement parameter notified by the first area information set, and if either one of them is yes, confirms that channel reservation needs to be performed, and performs channel reservation before transmitting a data frame.
In the embodiment of the present invention, performing channel reservation before transmitting a data frame includes: when needing to send data frames to the AP, the STA judges whether the length of the data frames is larger than a threshold value; under the condition that the value is larger than the threshold value, sending a channel reservation request frame, receiving a response frame corresponding to the channel reservation request frame replied by the AP, and sending a data frame to the AP after receiving the response frame; and transmitting the data frame to the AP under the condition that the data frame is less than or equal to the threshold value.
After the AP notifies the area information in the threshold parameter set, when the STA determines that the STA belongs to the notified area and the channel reservation indication information indicates that the STA needs to send an RTS frame before sending a data frame, the STA determines whether to send the RTS frame according to a threshold set by the STA. When the length of the data frame is larger than the threshold value set by the user, the RTS frame is sent firstly before the data frame is sent, otherwise, the RTS frame is not sent. When the channel reservation indication information indicates that the STA does not need to send the RTS frame, the STA ignores the threshold value set by the STA and does not need to send the RTS frame.
Example nine
In this embodiment, the threshold parameter set sent by the AP to the associated STA includes channel reservation indication information and a first QoS class information set, where the first QoS class information set includes one or more QoS classes. The QoS level of the data frame is the same as that described in the sixth embodiment.
When the STA judges that the data frame to be sent belongs to the notified QoS level and the channel reservation indication information indicates that the STA needs to send the RTS frame before sending the data frame, the STA judges whether to send the RTS frame according to a threshold value set by the STA per se. When the length of the data frame is larger than the threshold value set by the user, the RTS frame is sent firstly before the data frame is sent, otherwise, the RTS frame is not sent. When the channel reservation indication information indicates that the STA does not need to send the RTS frame, the STA ignores the threshold value set by the STA and does not need to send the RTS frame.
