Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of communication, and particularly relates to a link scheduling method of multilink equipment, which can be used for the multilink equipment.
Background
With the evolution of the wireless local area network standard, wi-Fi standard 6 technology has fallen to the ground, and research and development of Wi-Fi standard 7 with the next generation code of 802.11be has begun. Previous Wi-Fi systems all use a single link mode, and only one station STA can communicate with an access point AP on a single link at a time. At this time, the maximum data amount that can be achieved on a single link is the highest throughput. With the emergence of some emerging traffic services such as augmented reality, super-definition video and the like, the single link cannot meet the requirement of a user on massive data exchange due to the limitation of spectrum resources. Therefore, the 802.11be standard introduces a new type of communication device, a multi-link device.
The multilink equipment is classified into two types, one is AP multilink equipment AP MLD, and the other is Non-AP multilink equipment Non-AP MLD. One multilink device is a physical logic entity, and structurally has a High media access control layer MAC and a plurality of Low MACs and a physical layer, so that data and signaling resources of a plurality of links can be shared on the entity end and have the capability of simultaneously supporting communication of the plurality of links.
The multi-link device, like the single-link device, needs to go through a series of setup stages before data transmission, including: scanning, authenticating and associating. One link is set as a main link in the multilink equipment, and multilink setting is performed through the link, so that the equipment can negotiate the capability information of a plurality of links, such as the number of the links supported by the equipment, the frequency points supported by the links, and the like. The frequency point of the multilink access point is fixed at the moment of starting the equipment, and the multilink user obtains the frequency point information supported by the access point through negotiation and sets the self frequency point according to the frequency point information. After the association is completed, the multilink can perform data transmission, and link connection is established.
For multi-link equipment, due to the introduction of a plurality of links, the problem of load balancing among the links is prominent, if the load of a certain link is too large, the interference of the link is possibly too large, the data security is reduced, and the transmission delay is increased. For this problem, there is no specific established scheme suitable for multi-link load balancing, so further research is still needed.
Disclosure of Invention

(4a) According to the known user U m And its link number E m Multilink access point a to user setAll users U in m Grouping is carried out;
(4b) According to the grouping result, the multilink access point A carries out intra-group link distribution on the links of each group of users and obtains a user setAll users U in m Access point link set of
(5) Multilink access point A according to user setUser U m Access point link set ofSends it the packet containing the user U m Access point link set ofThe probe response frame of (1);

(7) User setUser U in m Performing authentication and association operation with a multilink access point A on the set frequency point to realize link connection;
(8) Multilink access point A and user setUser U in m And data transmission is carried out on the well-connected link, so that a link scheduling strategy with higher fairness is obtained.
The invention has the following beneficial effects:
1. according to the number of the links of the users and the number of the links supported by the AP MLD, the invention realizes that all the users in the BSS are divided into a plurality of groups with the number of the links equal to that of the links supported by the AP MLD by planning grouping and link distribution of the users in the groups in advance, and the AP MLD links to which the users in each group should be connected are specifically distributed, so that the number of the links connected with each link of the AP MLD is equal as much as possible, and the fairness of the links is realized.
2. The invention informs the user of the obtained specific connection link of each group in the multilink setting process, so that the user can know the frequency point to be set, and each group completes connection according to scheduling after the setting process is finished, thereby improving the load balancing capability of the multilinks.

The AP MLD comprises three links, which are in turn a first link L 1 A second link L 2 And a third link L 3 The three links form a link set of the AP MLDNamely:
Referring to fig. 2, the implementation steps of this example are as follows:
in this example scenario, the AP MLD is a multi-link device, and compared to a conventional single-link device, the AP MLD structurally has a High MAC layer and multiple Low MACs and a physical layer, and thus has a characteristic that multiple links communicate simultaneously. The basic service set is constructed as follows:
Then, the physical area covered by the AP MLD communication range is used as a basic service setObtaining a basic service setComprising a multilink access point A and a user setThese two physical entities, which are represented as:
In this example scenario, a basic service setUser setFirst user U of 1 Second user U 2 The third user U 3 And a fourth user U 4 The active scanning operation is performed immediately after entering the basic service set, i.e. the first user U 1 Sending a probe request frame to the AP MLD over its link, a second user U 2 The third user U 3 And a fourth user U 4 And respectively sending a probe request frame to the AP MLD on the main link. Since the main-chain routing device of the multilink user selects itself, the second user U is temporarily set 2 The third user U 3 And a fourth user U 4 The main links of (a) are all the first links thereof.
In this example scenario, the AP MLD responds to receipt of the first user U 1 Second user U 2 The third user U 3 And a fourth user U 4 Transmitted probe request frame, discovery user setOf the four users. Because the detection request frame of the multilink user comprises the multilink capability information of the user, such as the number of supported links and the current frequency point setting of the links, the AP MLD acquires a basic service setThe first user U 1 Number of links E 1 Is 1, a second user U 2 Number of links E 2 Is 3, a third user U 3 Number of links E 3 Is 2 and a fourth user U 4 Number of links E 4 Is 2.
