Description

Communication method, communication device and communication equipment of wireless local area network
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a communication method of a wireless local area network, a communication apparatus of the wireless local area network, and a communication device.
Background
In the year 2016, 7, IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) 802.11 established the research group WUR (wake Up receiver) of the next generation Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) technology, i.e., IEEE 802.11.ba, which is mainly applied in the aspect of internet of things, in order to save the power consumption of devices as much as possible, and most importantly, in order to make devices receiving wake-Up frames (wake-Up message frames, i.e., WUR message frames) save the power consumption of devices as much as possible, wherein the power consumption required for devices to receive wake-Up frames is not more than 1 mW.
At present, when an Access Point (AP) device sends a unicast wake-up frame to a Station (STA) device, if a response frame of the Station device to the wake-up frame is not received, the AP device may determine that the wake-up frame sent by the AP device needs to be retransmitted, but an existing random Back-off (backoff) mechanism is still used for retransmission of the wake-up frame, power consumption of the device may be as much as that of the existing retransmission mechanism, and in addition, a receiving party waits too long time, so that the purpose of saving power consumption of the device cannot be achieved.
Therefore, how to retransmit the unicast wake-up frame when the AP device fails to send the unicast wake-up frame to the station device reduces the power consumption of the device, so that the device is more power-saving, and the requirement of ieee802.11ba is met, which is a technical problem to be solved urgently.
Disclosure of Invention
Based on at least one of the above technical problems, the present invention provides a new communication scheme for a wireless local area network, and when an access point device retransmits a unicast wakeup message frame to a station device, a random backoff CW (Contention Window) mechanism is used, which can effectively reduce the power consumption of the device, thereby saving power for the device and meeting the requirements of IEEE802.11 ba.
In view of this, according to a first aspect of the present invention, a communication method of a wireless local area network is provided, which is used for an access point device, and the communication method of the wireless local area network includes: sending a unicast awakening message frame to station equipment by adopting a first competition window parameter competition channel resource at a first time point; and when the feedback of the station equipment for the unicast wakeup message frame is not received, retransmitting the unicast wakeup message frame to the station equipment by adopting a second contention window parameter contention channel resource at a second moment, wherein the first contention window parameter and the second contention window parameter are any contention window parameter in a first contention window parameter interval, and the threshold values of the first contention window parameter and the second contention window parameter are the same.
In the technical scheme, when the access point device determines that the unicast wakeup message frame sent to the station device by the access point device fails to be sent, that is, when the corresponding feedback of the station device is not received within a certain time after the unicast wakeup message frame is sent to the station device by using a first contention window parameter contention channel resource at a first time point, the unicast wakeup message frame can be sent to the station device again by using a second contention window parameter contention channel resource at a second time point, so that a secondary communication interface of the station device wakes up a main communication interface of the station device to receive downlink data cached by the access point device when the unicast wakeup message frame is successfully received, thereby effectively reducing the power consumption of the device, enabling the device to be more power-saving and meeting the requirements of IEEE802.1ba; wherein, the second contention window parameter may be any contention window parameter in the first contention window parameter interval in which the first contention window parameter is located, further, the two contention window parameters may be the same threshold, for example, the threshold of the CW parameter used at the first time point is 10, then the CW parameter used at the first time point is any randomly selected number from 1 to 10, for example, the CW parameter thereof is 3, and the threshold of the same CW parameter used at the second time point is also 10, then the CW parameter used at the second time point is any randomly selected number from 1 to 10, for example, 4, and the same CW parameter may be randomly selected twice, so that the threshold of the CW parameter at each time point is not increased, the retransmission time of the unicast wakeup message frame and the waiting time of the receiving side may be effectively saved, and the retransmission efficiency is improved, device power consumption is also saved.
In the foregoing technical solution, preferably, after the second contention window parameter contention channel resource is adopted to resend the unicast wakeup message frame to the station device, the method further includes: counting the transmission times of retransmitting the unicast awakening message frame; and determining whether to continuously retransmit the unicast wakeup message frame to the site equipment according to the comparison result of the transmission times and a preset threshold value.

In any of the above technical solutions, preferably, the communication method of the wireless local area network further includes: after the retransmission of the unicast wakeup message frame by using the second contention window parameter contention access channel fails, the first contention window parameter interval is increased to be a second contention window parameter interval, so that the unicast wakeup message frame is retransmitted by using any contention window parameter contention channel resource in the second contention window parameter interval.

Further, the transmission times of the retransmitted unicast wakeup message frame counted in the first contention window parameter interval can be reset to zero, and the retransmission is performed by using the contention window parameter in the second contention window parameter interval, so as to perform comparison according to a preset threshold, and determine whether to continue retransmitting the unicast wakeup message frame to the station device according to the comparison result.
In any of the foregoing technical solutions, preferably, a duration of an interval between the second time point and the first time point is a timeout duration for the access point device to wait for the station device to feed back the unicast wakeup message frame.
In the technical scheme, the interval duration between the second time point and the previous first time point for retransmitting the unicast wakeup message frame to the site equipment is at least the timeout duration for waiting for the site equipment to perform feedback response on the unicast wakeup message frame, and further, the timeout duration refers to the sum of the duration for processing the unicast wakeup message frame inside the equipment, the duration for converting the secondary communication interface of the site equipment to the primary communication interface of the site equipment and the duration for competing for accessing a channel, so that the accuracy of the result for determining whether the unicast wakeup message frame needs to be retransmitted can be ensured, unnecessary equipment power consumption is avoided, the equipment is more power-saving, and the requirement of IEEE802.11ba is met.
