Description

Internet of vehicles access point switching method based on software defined network
Technical Field

Background
In many wireless network Access technologies, Internet of things (IOV) is a development direction of an intelligent transportation system, and the Internet of Vehicles has the characteristics of frequent topology change and high moving speed, and is expected to provide sufficient resources for Access at any time and any place, so as to obtain high-quality services, and therefore, telecommunication operators and service providers select large-scale deployment of Access Points (APs) to cover a larger-area. The current car networking architecture usually adopts a centralized networking mode of a thin AP and a wireless Controller (AC), wherein the thin AP only provides a device Access function, and the AC manages and controls the AP, but each device in the network mostly uses a product of a specific manufacturer, which is very disadvantageous to the development and upgrade of subsequent functions, and some devices even need to manually modify configuration one by one, and also have a compatibility problem in communication. Due to the fact that the vehicle terminal moves in a large range, the coverage area of the AP is limited, the AP cannot autonomously switch the vehicle terminal, the AC needs to be fully charged, once the number of the vehicle terminals is too large, performance bottleneck can occur in the AC, switching time delay can be increased, and flexibility is poor.
In the face of a large number of vehicle terminals, APs, and emerging endless network applications and services, Software Defined Networking (SDN) is proposed as an effective solution. The architecture is characterized in that a data forwarding plane and a control plane in network equipment are separated, a central controller is used for monitoring a bottom infrastructure, and different from an AC, the controller can provide a path decision for the forwarding equipment downwards through software programming and provide a calling interface for high-level application upwards, so that the overall network is obviously improved in the aspects of upgrading, function increasing and deleting, fine-grained control of flow and the like. SDN has been applied to various different types of wireless networks, and the main research points in car networking are load balancing of the network, routing protocols, and related issues in combination with other networks, and the research on switching of APs is less.
Compared with the prior art, the conventional vehicle intelligent terminal has larger capacity, higher running speed and better hardware configuration, and aims to bring faster service experience and better service quality to users. The traditional vehicle terminal uses a single network interface to connect the AP, and when the service quality is poor or the current AP is out of the coverage area, the AP switching is inevitably needed. According to the wireless access protocol, the existing AP must be disconnected, then available other APs must be scanned, and finally connection is attempted. By utilizing the background scanning technology, a plurality of network interfaces of the intelligent terminal and the flow table control function of the SDN, smooth switching among different APs can be realized, the transmission rate of the intelligent terminal can be increased, the packet loss rate of the intelligent terminal is reduced, and uninterrupted vehicle information interaction is ensured.

Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described and discussed in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.
The invention discloses a software-defined network-based Internet of vehicles access point switching method, which is characterized in that the global management and control function of an SDN controller is utilized to sense the positions of an AP and a mobile vehicle terminal, a proper switching access point is quickly found, and a plurality of network interface characteristics of the vehicle terminal are utilized to alternately take charge of tasks of data sending and background scanning in the switching process, so that the uninterrupted vehicle information interaction is realized.
The switching method is implemented by programming and controlling network functions and behaviors of different wireless access points in the Internet of vehicles in a software-defined mode aiming at the switching problem among the different wireless access points.
Referring to fig. 1, the software-defined vehicle networking architecture is composed of an application layer, a control layer, an infrastructure layer, and a vehicle terminal.
The application layer executes the deployment switching method by calling the northbound interface of the control layer and utilizing the related functions of the forwarding equipment and the controller.
The control layer and the core are controllers (SDN controllers, SCs), which manage underlying devices and are responsible for acquiring various global useful data and making corresponding decisions according to the data.
The infrastructure layer comprises an OF-AP and an OF-SW, which respectively represent a wireless access point and a switch (for convenience, hereinafter referred to as AP and SW) supporting an OpenFlow protocol, wherein the AP is responsible for monitoring the movement and access requests OF the vehicle terminal, reporting effective information OF the vehicle terminal and the AP to the SC, receiving a flow table instruction issued by the SC and executing corresponding actions; the SW is used as a channel for transmitting data between different APs, connects the APs and the SC, and forwards network data and interacts with the SC.
The vehicle terminal is mainly a mobile vehicle device with a plurality of network interfaces, wherein the plurality of network interfaces can represent a plurality of network cards, and can also represent that the terminal is provided with a plurality of wireless modules, and can be connected with a plurality of different APs after being started.
The invention expands the traditional switching process, and alternately completes the tasks of channel scanning and data forwarding by utilizing the background scanning technology and a plurality of network interfaces of the vehicle terminal, thereby realizing the uninterrupted vehicle operation service.
The background scanning technology comprises the steps that a vehicle terminal enters the coverage range of a certain AP; establishing connection and normal communication with the mobile terminal; the link quality can not meet the requirement or the original AP starts to move away; searching a suitable new AP for reconnection; and disconnecting the original AP and normally communicating with the new AP. Considering that the vehicle terminal does not necessarily move immediately after performing stable communication with the source AP and may stay for a period of time, the vehicle terminal may perform pre-scanning in the period of time to grasp information of other APs around in advance.
Referring to fig. 2, assume that the network of the vehicle terminal has two interfaces (wlan0 and wlan1), initially wlan0 is in the active state and wlan1 is in the off state. The circular areas represent coverage areas of different APs, and the rectangular areas represent channel quality changes with the APs during movement of the vehicle terminal. In an actual situation, the AP basically keeps the position fixed after the deployment is finished, and the SDN controller is used for collecting the position information of the vehicle terminal and the AP according to the principle that the strength of a signal is inversely proportional to the square of a coverage distance and guiding the vehicle terminal to quickly find a proper AP for switching.
In the process of moving the vehicle terminal, the moving position can be judged by calculating the distance between the vehicle terminal and the currently connected AP, the farther the distance is, the weaker the signal strength is, and if the distance exceeds a specified threshold range, an idle interface can be opened. The method comprises the steps that when a vehicle terminal scans an AP for connection for the first time, the condition of other surrounding APs is acquired, so that the AP can interact with an SC and select a proper switching AP to inform the vehicle terminal, the AP can utilize a standby interface to carry out connection request, after connection is successful, the SC sends a modified flow table item to carry out uninterrupted communication of data in a mode of redirecting to the AP, and when the vehicle terminal is completely away from an original AP, a vehicle terminal connection table maintained by the vehicle terminal is triggered to carry out addition and deletion of the table item.
Referring to fig. 2, a method for switching an access point of a car networking based on a software defined network includes:
step 1, a vehicle terminal performs active scanning, namely sends a detection request frame to surrounding APs, and continuously sends a beacon frame to the air at intervals of a fixed time slot according to the setting of the APs, so that the vehicle terminal can acquire AP information through the beacon frame and a detection response frame returned by the APs and store the AP information into an AP list AL of the vehicle terminal;
step 2, the AP acquires the position information of the vehicle terminal through monitoring the vehicle terminal, reports the position information to the SC together with the position information of the AP, and creates a terminal and an AP information table (the terminal and the AP information table are created by the AP), in order to reduce the expense of table items, only the position information of the terminal and the AP information table is recorded, the distance between the terminal and the AP information table is convenient to calculate, and the position of the AP is not changed, so that only the position of the vehicle terminal needs to be dynamically updated;
and 3, initially, selecting an AP (access point) with the largest channel quality Rssi and the largest Snr parameter (taking AP1 as an example) from the list AL due to limited information collected by the vehicle terminal, sending a connection request to the AP by using a wlan0, and performing normal communication after successful response. If the vehicle terminal does not move for a period of time, turning on the wlan1 to perform pre-scanning in a background scanning manner, if an AP not in the list is found, adding the AP into the list as an AL, and performing pre-scanning only once considering that the scanning time is long and the vehicle terminal is static;
step 4, when the current channel quality is poor or the vehicle terminal starts to move, the wlan1 scans the existing AP channel in the AL table again, updates the AL table, and the channel quality is reduced to a given threshold Q at the moment P11Starting a switching process;
and step 5, in the moving process, the SC continuously updates the position information of the vehicle terminal, calculates the distances between the vehicle terminal and other APs and sorts the distances after the distance between the vehicle terminal and the AP1 reaches a set threshold DTH, selects the AP with the shortest distance (taking AP2 as an example here) to inform the AP to reply a probe response frame to the vehicle terminal, and establishes connection with the vehicle terminal. Redirecting data sent by the AP1 to the AP2 by modifying the corresponding flow table information;
and 6, at the time of P3, the vehicle terminal utilizes wlan1 to normally communicate with AP2, the channel quality is gradually enhanced, and when the difference between the connection quality of interfaces wlan1 and wlan0 reaches a predetermined threshold QTH at the time of P4, wlan0 is no longer suitable for undertaking data transceiving tasks, so that the interfaces are converted into interfaces for subsequent background scanning.
And 7, when the time P5 is reached, the vehicle terminal completely leaves the AP1, so that the wlan0 is disconnected with the AP, the processes are repeated, and when the two network interfaces need to perform AP switching, the tasks of background scanning and data receiving and sending are respectively executed, so that the situations of packet loss or communication interruption cannot occur in the whole process.
As can be seen from the above process operations, the times P1, P3, and P4 represent the AP handover initiation timing, the successful access to the new AP, and the network interface task switching timing, respectively, and also mean that the corresponding limited threshold conditions are reached at these time points. Many parameters are involved in this process, as described in detail below.
The AP list AL maintained by the terminal is identified by equation (1), where parameters such as SSID, MAC address, IP address, Rssi, Ch, and the like may be obtained from a beacon frame or a probe response frame sent by the AP.
AL={APi|(ID,SSID,IP,MAC,Snr,Rssi,Ch),i=1,2,...,n} (1)
Since the relationship between the Snr and the actual link environment is tight, the calculation formula of the invention is shown in formula (2). P (t) is the transmission power at time t, d (t) is the distance between the receiver and the transmitter at time t, α is the path propagation loss factor, η is the noise level, and g (t) is the channel average gain at time t.
Figure BDA0002201524380000061
The channel quality mentioned in the present invention is mainly measured by two parameters of Rssi and Snr, as shown in formula (3), and considering that the latter reflects the channel quality better than the former and has a similar importance, α ═ 0.4 and β ═ 0.6 are taken here.
Q=α*Rssi+β*Snr (3)
The value calculated when the terminal is in a stable state after establishing connection with the AP1 is set to QstableThe value can be regarded as the average value of the channel quality in the period from the successful connection to the switching start, the AP coverage radius is R, and Q is obtained in the steps (4), (5) and (6)1DTH and QTH are represented by the formulas (4) and (5), wherein A, B and C are weight coefficients, and A, B takes the value of [0,1]And C is [0,0.5 ]]The link state information can be modified according to the user requirements and the actual link conditions.
Q1=Qstable*A,DTH=R*B (4)
QTH=Q4(wlan1)-Q4(wlan0)=Q4(wlan1)*C (5)
Further, in this embodiment, under the network architecture shown in fig. 1, the Mininet-WiFi network tool is used to create the experimental platform shown in fig. 3, and an Oracle virtualbox5.1.18 is used to load an image of the simulation platform and load the Ubuntu 16.04.3 operating system. And downloading firmware of Mininet-WiFi and an Ryu controller from the GitHub to complete the establishment of a test environment, and setting Open vSwitch2.5.2 in the test environment to create a virtual OpenFlow switch.
When a test experiment is carried out, the invention utilizes the ping instruction in the system to evaluate whether the devices in the topological structure can be communicated with each other. The ping instruction is mainly judged according to whether the devices can receive the response message after transmitting the ICMP message mutually. And for the data messages generated by the equipment by utilizing various protocols, extracting and analyzing by using a wireshark packet capturing tool.

step S100, the vehicle terminal sends a detection request frame to surrounding APs, acquires AP information according to a beacon frame sent by the AP and a returned detection response frame, mainly comprises SSID, IP address, MAC address and link information (signal-to-noise ratio, channel number and signal strength), and stores the information into an AP list AL of the vehicle terminal;
step S200, AP obtains the position information of vehicle terminal, reports the position information to SC together with the position information of itself, and creates terminal and AP information table;
step S300, the vehicle terminal selects the AP1 with the maximum signal intensity and signal-to-noise ratio from the list AL, uses wlan0 to send a connection request to the AP, and performs normal communication after response is successful;
step S400, the vehicle terminal starts to move, the channel quality is reduced to a given threshold value, and a switching process is started.
Step S500, SC updates the position information of the vehicle terminal, when the distance between the vehicle terminal and AP1 reaches the set threshold value, the distance between the vehicle terminal and other APs is calculated and sequenced, the AP with the shortest distance is selected, the AP is informed to reply a detection response frame to the vehicle terminal, the corresponding flow table information is modified, and the data sent by AP1 is redirected to AP 2;
