Detailed Description
The wireless upgrade method based on Lora technology according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Advantages and features of the present invention will become apparent from the following description and from the claims. It is to be noted that the drawings are in a very simplified form and are not to precise scale, which is merely for the purpose of facilitating and distinctly claiming the embodiments of the present invention.
Example one
The invention provides a wireless upgrading method based on a Lora technology, which comprises the following steps:
step 1, the Lora gateway sends beacons regularly for network synchronization; after the nodes under the Lora gateway successfully access the network, synchronization with the Lora gateway is completed. The Beacon Period (Beacon Period) is divided into a Beacon time zone (BA, Beacon Area), a Broadcast time zone (Broadcast), several basic service periods (busipeiod), and a reserved time zone (Guard Area), as shown in fig. 1. After the broadcast time zone follows the beacon time zone, all nodes under the Lora gateway listen to the broadcast frame at the start time of the broadcast time zone. Under the condition of no broadcast wakeup, each node monitors a downlink wakeup frame at the beginning of a corresponding basic service period according to a wakeup group distributed during network access;
if all nodes under the Lora gateway need to be upgraded, adopting a broadcast upgrading mode:
the Lora gateway sends a broadcast wakeup frame at the starting time of a broadcast time zone in a beacon period, then sends a broadcast command or a broadcast data frame, and sends an update preparation command when updating is needed; the broadcast wakeup timing is shown in fig. 2;
after being awakened by the upgrade command, the node monitors an upgrade awakening frame at the starting moment of a basic service period shown in figure 1; after receiving the upgrade awakening frame, opening a receiving window to receive upgrade data; the Lora gateway splits the upgrade file into n packets, and sequentially transmits the upgrade packets in a beacon period, wherein the time sequence of the upgrade packets is shown in fig. 3, and the detailed communication time sequence in the basic service period is the same as that in fig. 2;
by adopting the communication mode of waking up first and then receiving, the normal service communication function can not be influenced in the upgrading process. For example, in the upgrading process, an important piece of application data needs to be sent to a certain node, and then at the starting time of the last basic service cycle, a single-point wake-up frame is sent, only the corresponding node is woken up, and then the application data is sent. After the single-point data transmission is completed, the upgrade package can be continuously transmitted in the next basic service period. And the issuing process of the upgrading data packet does not need node response.
After the Lora gateway finishes sending the upgrade package, sequentially calling the nodes in the network in a single-point awakening mode, and asking the nodes to inform whether the upgrade package is completely received; if the missing packet exists, the node sends a missing packet list to the Lora gateway, and the Lora gateway sequentially issues the missing upgrade packet to the node in a single-point upgrade mode according to the missing packet list;
if a certain node is called and the Lora gateway does not receive corresponding response information, the node is considered to be failed to be upgraded; the node receives all the upgrade packages and reports receiving completion state information when being called; then, entering a local upgrading flow, and restarting the local code after upgrading is finished;
if all nodes under the Lora gateway do not need to be upgraded completely, adopting a single-point upgrading mode:
the single-point upgrade is similar to the broadcast upgrade time sequence, except that the single-point upgrade does not use the broadcast wakeup time zone in the beacon period, and the Lora gateway issues a single-point wakeup frame and only wakes up the node to be upgraded to perform upgrade data transmission;
after the Lora gateway issues all the upgrade packages to the corresponding nodes, inquiring whether a package loss exists or not from the nodes: if the node checks that the node finds that the node has packet loss, reporting a packet loss list when being inquired by the Lora gateway; the Lora gateway retransmits the lost data packet to the node according to the packet loss list; the node receives the upgrade package completion and reports the receiving completion state information; and entering a local upgrading flow, and restarting the local code after upgrading operation is completed.
The above description is only for the purpose of describing the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention, and any variations and modifications made by those skilled in the art based on the above disclosure are intended to fall within the scope of the appended claims.
