Detailed Description
The implementation details are as follows:
the embodiment of the invention relates to a wireless Internet of things protocol switch framework with time certainty and an implementation method thereof. The core of the invention is that the TSN switch and the VLAN technology are utilized to realize the deterministic communication of the wireless Internet of things protocol data in the TSN network through a hardware circuit. Fig. 1 shows the application of the present invention in a TSN network and a wireless internet of things network, and a schematic block diagram of the present invention is shown in fig. 2.
The working principle and the process are as follows:
for uplink data, that is, a wireless internet of things network- > a wireless internet of things protocol switch- > a TSN switch, the wireless internet of things protocol data enters the wireless internet of things protocol switch through a data transceiver module, a VID mapping module compares a VID mapping table with a priority mapping table according to different transceiver circuit interfaces, and a VID value and a priority field are added before a wireless protocol data frame, if multiple ports receive data at the same time, the VID mapping module sends the data to a packet unpacking module according to configured priorities in sequence, the packet unpacking module adds protocol data to an ethernet frame header and a frame tail, and an ethernet frame structure diagram containing the wireless internet of things protocol data refers to fig. 4. The encapsulation and unpacking module transmits the Ethernet frames containing the wireless Internet of things protocol data to the TSN interface module, and the TSN interface module transmits the data to the TSN switch according to the standard time sequence of the Ethernet interface.
For downlink data, namely TSN switch- > wireless Internet of things protocol switch- > wireless Internet of things network, an Ethernet frame containing the wireless Internet of things protocol data enters the wireless Internet of things protocol switch through a TSN interface module, an Ethernet frame header and frame tail are removed by a packet unpacking module, only the wireless Internet of things protocol data and VID values are reserved, a VID mapping module judges which data transceiver module the wireless Internet of things protocol data is sent to according to the VID values and a VID mapping table, and the data transceiver module sends the protocol data to the wireless Internet of things equipment after receiving the wireless Internet of things protocol data from the VID mapping module.
Fig. 6 shows a transmission flow of wireless internet of things protocol data in the present invention.
The invention adds VLAN Tag which accords with IEEE 802.1Q standard on the basis of packaging wireless Internet of things protocol data into standard Ethernet frame, and the total number of the VLAN Tag is 4 bytes. Containing a TPID of 2 bytes and a TCI of 2 bytes, the TPID value being 0x8100 for ethernet frames, the TCI comprising a 3-bit priority field capable of representing eight priority levels, a 1-bit typical format indicator, a vid (vlan identifier) of 12bits, wherein the priority field may specify the priority level of each protocol port, the higher the priority field value, the higher the priority level. When a plurality of protocol ports receive data from the wireless Internet of things at the same time, the TSN switch can determine which port data is preferentially switched according to the priority level; meanwhile, each port is assigned with a VID value, and the wireless Internet of things switch and the upper computer distinguish which protocol data the transmitted data is according to the VID in the data frame. See fig. 5 for an example of wireless internet protocol VID values and priority fields.
VLAN Tag has two important roles: firstly, for the condition that multiple paths of uplink data are generated simultaneously, the sequence of sending the data to the TSN switch can be judged according to the priority domain; and secondly, the TSN switch can determine the transmission priority of the wireless Internet of things protocol data in the TSN according to the priority domain.
Detailed description of the modules:
the invention mainly comprises the following modules: the device comprises a data transceiving module, a VID mapping module, a packet unpacking module, a TSN interface module and an AXI4 interface module.
The data transceiver module also comprises a UART receiving module, a UART transmitting module, a receiving FIFO module, a transmitting FIFO module, a gating module, a baud rate calculating module and a clock frequency dividing module. Please refer to fig. 3 for a schematic diagram of the data transceiver module.
The UART receiving module realizes UART receiving time sequence and parity check function, and stores protocol data received from the UART interface into a receiving FIFO; the UART transmitting module realizes the functions of transmitting time sequence and parity check and transmits the protocol data transmitted by the transmitting FIFO to the wireless protocol port.
The receiving FIFO module and the sending FIFO module are realized by adopting asynchronous FIFO which is designed based on a double-port RAM. Because the UART transceiving speed is different from the transceiving speed of the TSN interface module, the data is cached by adopting the asynchronous FIFO.
The VID mapping module comprises a VID mapping table, a VID mapping circuit and a multi-path selection circuit, wherein the VID mapping table needs the CPU to be configured into the VID mapping module through the AXI4 interface module.
The VID mapping module is used for receiving protocol data from a receiving FIFO (first in first out) for uplink data, namely a wireless Internet of things network- > wireless Internet of things protocol switch- > TSN switch, attaching VID values and priority domains corresponding to ports to the wireless protocol data according to different ports and VID mapping tables and priority mapping tables of different protocols, wherein the attachment position is the front end of the protocol data, and then sending the protocol data with the attached VID values and priority domains to a packet unpacking module; for downlink data, namely TSN exchanger- > wireless Internet of things protocol exchanger- > wireless Internet of things network, the VID mapping module receives protocol data from the packet unpacking module, the foremost end of the protocol data is provided with 12bits VID information, the VID mapping module compares the VID mapping table according to the VID value, and the wireless Internet of things protocol data with the VID value removed is transmitted to the corresponding transmission FIFO.
The function that the said package unpacks the module and finishes is, for the upstream data, namely wireless Internet of things network- > exchanger- > host computer, after the package unpacks the module and receives the data with VID value from VID mapping module, add the frame head frame end of Ethernet on the basis of this data frame, the frame head of Ethernet needing to add includes: destination address, source address, type/length, and the end of the ethernet frame to be added is the frame check sequence FCS.
In which besides the destination address, the source address, the type/length, and the type/length byte, a 4-byte VLAN Tag value is added before the protocol data, and since the VID mapping module has added the VID value before the protocol data, the packet unpacking module only needs to add the TPID, the priority field, and the typical format indicator in the VLAN Tag. The priority value of the priority domain needs to be added according to the priority mapping table configured by the CPU through the AXI4 interface module.
For downlink data, namely an upper computer-switch equipment-field bus network, the encapsulation unpacking module receives an Ethernet frame with VLAN Tag from the TSN interface module, the encapsulation unpacking module removes the information of the head and the tail of the Ethernet frame, and only retains the VID value of 12bits and the protocol data of the wireless Internet of things.
The AXI4 interface module is to implement an AXI4 lite protocol, and includes 2 AXI4 lite registers with 32 bit widths, which are used for caching configuration information transmitted to an IP of a wireless internet of things switch by a CPU, wherein the configuration information is as follows: priority table in VLAN Tag, VID value of each port in VLAN Tag, parity check configuration information and baud rate configuration information needed by port.
The TSN interface module realizes GMII interface time sequence in accordance with IEEE 802.3 standard, and wireless Internet of things protocol data encapsulated into Ethernet frame format is transmitted with the TSN switch through the TSN interface module.
