Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to fig. 1 to 11 in the embodiments of the present application. It will be apparent that the described embodiments are only some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present application. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments herein without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the present application.

The embodiment of the application provides a communication method, a communication device and wireless access point equipment. The communication method may be performed by the communication apparatus or by the wireless access point device. Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is an application scenario diagram of a wireless access point device 100 according to an embodiment of the present application.

The wireless access point device 100 may be an access point of a wireless network, commonly referred to as a "hotspot". The wireless access point device 100 may be, but not limited to, a router or other route switching access integrated device, or may be, but not limited to, a pure access point device. Wireless access point device 100 may be communicatively coupled to other wireless access point devices, and wireless access point device 100 may also be communicatively coupled to one or more user node devices 200 as shown in fig. 1. The user node device 200 may be, but is not limited to, a mobile terminal, smart home, etc. that can communicate wirelessly with the wireless access point device 100. The wireless access point device 100, one or more user node devices 200 may support Wi-Fi6 technology. The Wi-Fi6 technology can adopt an OFDMA technology, an MU-MIMO technology, a TWT technology and the like, so that the Wi-Fi6 technology has the characteristics of higher speed, lower time delay, large capacity, safer, more power saving and the like.

It is to be appreciated that the plurality of user node devices 200 communicatively coupled to the wireless access point device 100 may be the same type of device, such as, but not limited to, a smart phone; the plurality of user node devices 200 communicatively connected to the wireless access point device 100 may not be all the same type of device, for example, one user node device 200a may be a smart phone, and another user node device 200b may be a smart speaker, a smart desk lamp, or the like. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the plurality of user node devices 200.

Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a first TWT timing flowchart of a wireless access point device 100 and a user node device 200 according to an embodiment of the present application. The wireless access point device 100 may perform TWT functions with each user node device 200. In TWT technology, a schedule may be established between the wireless access point device 100 and each user node device 200, which may be comprised of at least one set of TWT time periods. Typically, the set of TWT time periods negotiated by the user node device 200 with the wireless access point device 100 may include a sequence of wake up time instants, a sequence of wake up duration durations, a sequence of wake up interval durations. When a certain wake-up time is reached, the ue 200 may wake up from a sleep state and may perform a signaling interaction procedure with the wireless ap 100; then, the ue 200 may enter an operating state and perform data interaction with the wireless access point device 100 in a duration period to which the wakeup duration period belongs; when the data interaction is completed and the initial time of the wake-up interval duration is reached, the user node device 200 may return to the sleep state and keep the sleep state in the duration of the wake-up interval duration until the next wake-up time, and so on.

It will be appreciated that the succession of one wakeup time, one wakeup duration, one wakeup interval duration may form one TWT sub-period. The wireless access point device 100 and the user node device 200 may negotiate a plurality of such sub-periods at a time and form a set of TWT time periods, and from the view point of the set of TWT time periods, the plurality of wake-up times may form a wake-up time sequence, the plurality of wake-up duration may form a wake-up duration sequence, and the plurality of wake-up interval durations may form a wake-up interval duration sequence.

For example, in fig. 1, the sequence consisting of T01, T02, T03, and T04 may be the wake-up time sequence of the user node device 200a, the sequence consisting of T05, T06, T07, T08, and T09 may be the wake-up time sequence of the user node device 200b, and the sequence consisting of T010, T011, T012, T013, and T014 may be the wake-up time sequence of the user node device 200 c; each point in the sequence of wakeup times may be a corresponding wakeup time for the user node device 200. For another example, the sequence consisting of T11, T12, T13 in fig. 1 may be a wake-up duration sequence of the ue 200a, the sequence consisting of T14, T15, T16, T17 may be a wake-up duration sequence of the ue 200b, and the sequence consisting of T18, T19, T110, T111 may be a wake-up duration sequence of the ue 200 c; each period in the wake-up duration sequence may be a duration that the user node device 200 is in an operating state. For another example, the sequence consisting of T21, T22, and T23 in fig. 1 may be a wake-up interval duration sequence of the ue 200a, the sequence consisting of T24, T25, T26, and T27 may be a wake-up interval duration sequence of the ue 200b, and the sequence consisting of T28, T29, T210, and T211 may be a wake-up interval duration sequence of the ue 200 c; each period in the sequence of wake-up interval periods may be a period that is continuous when the user node device 200 is in a certain sleep state.

It will be appreciated that, as shown in fig. 2, the negotiated wake-up interval duration sequence between the wireless access point device 100 and the same user node device 200 is often equal interval duration (e.g. the durations of T21, T22, T23 are equal, the durations of T24, T25, T26, T27 are equal, the durations of T28, T29, T210, T211 are equal), and the negotiated wake-up interval duration sequence between the wireless access point device 100 and the same user node device 200 is also often equal interval duration (e.g. the durations of T11, T12, T13 are equal, the durations of T14, T15, T16, T17 are equal, the durations of T18, T19, T110, T111 are equal), which makes it necessary for the user node device 200 to switch from a sleep state to an active state at a fixed time even though the user node device 200 is not required to communicate with the wireless access point device 100; it is also possible that the user node device 200 must be transitioned from the operating state to the sleep state at a fixed time even though there is still data transmission between the user node device 200 and the wireless access point device 100. Based on this, the wake-up interval duration sequence and the wake-up duration sequence set by the equal interval duration are not flexible enough, and the response capability between the wireless access point device 100 and the user node device 200 is weak, so that the user experience is poor.

Also, as shown in fig. 2, when the wireless access point device 100 negotiates respective TWT time periods with a plurality of user node devices 200, e.g.,

user node devices

200a, 200b, 200c, the wireless access point device 100 may negotiate one set of TWT time periods with one user node device 200a, another set of TWT time periods with another user node device 200b, another set of TWT time periods with yet another user node device 200 c. When the wake interval duration sequences and the wake duration sequences of the multiple sets of TWT time periods are all set with equal interval duration periods, it may be that at the same wake time, two or more user node devices 200 need to be woken up and communicate with the wireless access point device 100, for example, T03 and T08 are the same time, and the

user node devices

200a and 200b need to be woken up simultaneously; as another example, T04 and T014 are the same time, and the

user node devices

200a and 200c need to wake up simultaneously. At this time, the multiple user node devices 200 collide with the wake-up time of the wireless access point device 100, which increases the processing difficulty of the wireless access point device 100 and may reduce the processing efficiency of the wireless access point device 100.

Based on the above-mentioned communication method between the wireless access point device 100 and the user node device 200, please refer to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a first flowchart of the communication method provided by the embodiment of the present application, the communication method provided by the embodiment of the present application may enable a set of TWT time periods to include a wake-up interval duration sequence of unequal interval duration segments, where the wake-up interval duration sequence of unequal interval duration segments may be associated with a current use scenario of the user node device 200 or may be associated with a previous use habit of the user node device 200, so that the communication method of the present application may flexibly set a reverberation duration of the user node device 200, avoid that a duration segment of the wake-up interval duration is too long or too short, improve a response capability of the user node device 200, and improve a user experience.

The communication method of the embodiment of the application can be applied to the wireless access point device 100, and the wireless access point device 100 can be in communication connection with one or more user node devices 200; the communication method may include:

in 101, acquiring a communication parameter of each user node device 200 in communication with the wireless access point device 100 within a preset duration, wherein the communication parameter comprises at least one of data interaction quantity and data transmission efficiency;

the data interaction amount may refer to the data transmission amount between the user node device 200 and the wireless access point device 100 within a preset time period. The wireless access point device 100 may calculate the data interaction amount according to the size of the data content that the wireless access point device 100 interacts with the user node device 200, and the wireless access point device 100 may determine the data interaction amount according to the bandwidth of the channel established by the wireless access point device 100 and the user node device 200 and the transmission data packet rate within the preset duration. Of course, the wireless access point device 100 may also count the amount of data interaction and transmit to the wireless access point device 100 by other means such as, but not limited to, the user node device 200; the embodiment of the application does not limit a specific way of acquiring the data interaction amount.

The data transmission efficiency may be a quotient of the amount of data received by the user node device 200 and the amount of data transmitted by the wireless access point device 100 to the user node device 200 within a preset time period. The data transmission efficiency of different user node devices 200 is often different, due to factors such as the wall-penetrating capability of the wireless access point device 100, the distance between the wireless access point device 100 and the user node device 200, and the data transmission rate.

When negotiating a set of TWT time periods with a ue 200, the wireless access point device 100 may first obtain communication parameters such as data interaction volume, data transmission efficiency, etc. of the ue 200 within a preset duration. The preset duration may be a preset duration parameter, which may be equal to or longer than a duration of one TWT period or one TWT sub-period. Moreover, the preset time periods may or may not be equal for different ue devices 200. For example, for any ue 200, the wireless access point device 100 may acquire the communication parameters with the ue 200 in the same time period; as another example, for different user node devices 200, wireless access point device 100 may obtain communication parameters with user node device 200a during the a-period and may obtain communication parameters … … with user node device 200B during the B-period.

It will be appreciated that when a set of TWT time periods have elapsed, the wireless access point device 100 may reacquire the communication parameters within the predetermined duration of time that the user node starts at another time to obtain a new set of TWT time periods, and communicate with the user node device 200 according to the new set of TWT time periods, and so on, and the wireless access point device 100 may periodically communicate with the user node device 200.

It may be appreciated that, based on the characteristics of Wi-Fi6 technology, the wireless access point device 100 may simultaneously acquire communication parameters of the plurality of (two or more) user node devices 200 within respective preset durations, so that interaction efficiency between the wireless access point device 100 and the plurality of user node devices 200 is higher. Of course, the wireless access point device 100 may also separately obtain the communication parameters of each user node device 200 within the respective preset duration, and the specific manner of obtaining the communication parameters of each user node device 200 by the wireless access point device 100 in the embodiment of the present application is not limited.

In 102, determining TWT parameters of each user node device 200 according to the communication parameters, where the TWT parameters include a wake-up interval duration sequence that may be a non-equal interval duration;

The wireless access point device 100 may determine a current application scenario of the user node device 200 according to the acquired communication parameters such as the data interaction amount and the data transmission efficiency, and may negotiate a set of TWT time periods with the current application scenario of the user node device 200 according to the current application scenario of the user node device 200, so that the TWT time periods may be associated with the current application scenario of the user node device 200, and the setting of the TWT time periods is more suitable for the user node device 200.

It may be appreciated that the wireless access point device 100 may determine the wake-up interval duration sequence only according to the data interaction amount, may determine the wake-up interval duration sequence only according to the data transmission efficiency, and may determine the wake-up interval duration sequence simultaneously according to the data transmission efficiency. The embodiment of the application does not limit the specific manner of determining the wake-up interval duration sequence.

For example, when the data interaction amount in the acquired communication parameters is large, for example, greater than or equal to the first preset data interaction amount threshold, the wireless access point device 100 may consider that the user node device 200 is in a first application scenario with a large data amount, and at this time, as shown in fig. 4, fig. 4 is a second TWT timing flowchart of the wireless access point device 100 and the user node device 200 provided in this embodiment of the present application, the wireless access point device 100 may determine that each wake interval duration in the wake interval duration sequence in the TWT time period negotiated with the user node device 200 is zero (at this time, the wireless access point device 100 and the user node device 200 may also be considered not to perform the TWT function), so that the wireless access point device 100 may always communicate with the user node device 200, and during the TWT time period, the user node device 200 may always be in a working state without entering a sleep state, thereby ensuring continuity and smoothness of data communication between the user node device 200 and the wireless access point device 100.

For another example, when the data interaction amount in the acquired communication parameters is larger, for example, greater than or equal to the second preset data interaction amount threshold, the wireless access point device 100 may consider that the user node device 200 is in the second application scenario of the large data amount, and at this time, as shown in fig. 5, fig. 5 is a third TWT timing flowchart of the wireless access point device 100 and the user node device 200 provided in this embodiment of the present application, the wireless access point device 100 may also determine that each wake interval duration in the wake interval duration sequence in the TWT time period negotiated with the user node device 200 is very short, for example, shorter than the first time period, so that the wireless access point device 100 may communicate with the user node device 200 for a long time, and in the TWT time period, the user node device 200 may be in a working state for a large part of the duration and in a sleep state for a small part of the duration, thereby, not only ensuring continuity and smoothness of data communication between the user node device 200 and the wireless access point device 100, but also reducing power consumption of the user node device 200 to a certain extent.

For another example, when the data interaction amount in the acquired communication parameters is not too large, for example, is smaller than the preset data interaction amount threshold, the wireless access point device 100 may consider that the user node device 200 is in a third application scenario with a small data amount, and at this time, as shown in fig. 6, fig. 6 is a fourth TWT timing flowchart of the wireless access point device 100 and the user node device 200 provided in this embodiment of the present application, and the wireless access point device 100 may determine that the wake interval duration sequence in the TWT time period negotiated with the user node device 200 is moderate, so that not only can continuity and smoothness of data communication between the user node device 200 and the wireless access point device 100 be ensured, but also power consumption of the user node device 200 may be further reduced.

It will be appreciated that in the embodiments shown in fig. 5 and 6, the data interaction amount between the wireless access point device 100 and the user node device 200 may be smaller than the preset data interaction amount threshold, so that the wireless access point device 100 and the user node device 200 may perform the TWT function.

In order to further improve the response capability of the ue 200 to the wireless access point device 100, the TWT parameter of the ue 200 determined by the wireless access point device 100 according to the communication parameter may include a wake-up interval duration sequence of non-equal interval duration segments. By non-equally spaced apart periods of time, it is meant that there are at least two different periods of time of the wakeup interval period of time, as opposed to equally spaced apart periods of time, e.g., in the embodiment shown in fig. 2, the wakeup interval period sequence is an equally spaced apart period sequence of time; in the embodiments of fig. 5 and 6, the duration of the plurality of wakeup intervals are not equal, and the wakeup interval duration sequence is a non-equal interval duration sequence. Of course, the time periods of the plurality of wake-up interval time periods may also be designed such that the time periods of the plurality of wake-up interval time periods are not completely equal, so that the wake-up interval time period sequence is a non-equal interval time period sequence.

It is understood that the wake-up interval duration sequence of the non-equal interval duration may be a sequence in which interval durations are sequentially incremented (e.g., a wake-up interval duration sequence of the user node device 200b shown in fig. 7 later), that is, in one TWT time period, an interval duration of a subsequent TWT sub-time period is greater than an interval duration of a preceding TWT sub-time period. For example, when the data interaction amount in the acquired communication parameters is not too large or the time length of interaction between the user node device 200 and the wireless access point device 100 is short in an application scenario where the data interaction can be completed in a short period, the user node device 200 does not need to continue working with a large probability after the data transmission is completed, and at this time, the time length of interval time period sequentially increased gradually can increase the sleeping time length of the user node device 200, reduce the power consumption of the user node device 200, and ensure that the user node device 200 is in a working state from time to prepare for responding to the operation of the user.

It will be appreciated that the wake-up interval duration sequence of non-equal interval duration may also be a sequence in which interval duration segments decrease sequentially (e.g., the wake-up interval duration sequence of the user node device 200a shown in fig. 5, 6 and later fig. 7), i.e., in one TWT period, the interval duration of the subsequent TWT sub-period is smaller than the interval duration of the preceding TWT sub-period. For example, when the acquired data interaction amount in the communication parameters is large or the user needs to communicate with the wireless access point device 100 in a long period of time in an application scenario, the interaction time between the user node device 200 and the wireless access point device 100 is long, and at this time, the time intervals of the time intervals are sequentially decreased, which can ensure that the user node device 200 is in a working state for a long time to respond to the user operation, or can enter a sleep state from time to time, so as to reduce the power consumption of the user node device 200.

It is understood that the wake-up interval duration sequence of the unequal interval duration may also be a sequence in which the interval duration sequentially increases and then sequentially decreases, that is, in one TWT period, the interval duration of the TWT sub-period in which the middle bit exists is longest, and the interval duration of the TWT sub-period in the front or the rear is shorter than the interval duration of the TWT sub-period in the middle bit. For example, in a scenario where the user browses the acquired information of the user node device 200 and acquires new information again after the user browses, considering that the user browses needs a certain period of time, the sequentially increasing wake-up interval period sequence at this time can increase the sleep period of the user node device 200, and reduce the power consumption of the user node device 200; after the user finishes browsing, the wake-up interval duration sequence which is gradually decreased can reduce the wake-up duration of the user node device 200, increase the frequency of the user node device 200 responding to the user operation, enhance the response capability of the user node device 200 and improve the user experience.

It will be appreciated that the wake-up interval duration sequence of the non-equal interval duration may be other sequences, such as, but not limited to, a sequence in which the interval duration sequentially decreases and then the interval duration sequentially increases, or a sequence in which the interval duration is not regular (such as the wake-up interval duration sequence of the user node device 200c shown in fig. 7). For example, the wireless access point device 100 may pre-design a plurality of wake-up interval periods that are longer, shorter, and moderately spaced apart, and then randomly arrange the plurality of wake-up interval periods and generate a wake-up interval period sequence with non-equal interval periods. Since the wake-up interval duration sequence is randomly generated, the wake-up interval duration sequences set by the wireless access point device 100 for different user node devices 200 are different in probability, and at this time, wake-up time of different user node devices 200 and wake-up time of the user node devices 200 are often different, so that the wake-up time of multiple user node devices 200 is not easy to collide.

It can be appreciated that the wireless access point device 100 may set the TWT parameters that are not identical for different user node devices 200, so that the wake-up time of the plurality of user node devices 200 is often different, and the wake-up time of the plurality of user node devices 200 is not easy to collide. For example, referring to fig. 7, fig. 7 is a fifth TWT timing flowchart of a wireless access point device 100 and a user node device 200 provided in the embodiment of the present application, where a plurality of wake-up interval duration sequences of one user node device 200a are different from a plurality of wake-up interval duration sequences of another

user node device

200b, 200c, and wake-up times of the user node device 200a and the

user node devices

200b, 200c are different, and the wake-up times of the plurality of user node devices 200 are not easy to collide.

It is understood that the wake-up interval duration sequence may be, but is not limited to, a prime number sequence other than 1 (may be a prime number sequence normalized by a prime number sequence). For example, the wake-up interval duration sequence may be a prime number increment sequence which is not 1, a prime number decrement sequence which is not 1, or a prime number disorder sequence which is not 1. Since the regularity of the prime number distribution is not strong, when the plurality of different user node devices 200 set up to use the prime number sequence, the wake-up time of the plurality of user node devices 200 is not easy to collide.

It should be noted that, the above is only an exemplary description of determining the wake-up interval duration sequence of the unequal interval duration period by the communication method in the embodiment of the present application, and other methods that may achieve the above objective may also be within the protection scope of the embodiment of the present application.

In 103, communication with the user node device 200 is performed according to the TWT parameters.

The wireless access point device 100 may transmit the TWT parameters to the corresponding user node device 200 and negotiate the TWT parameters with the user node device 200. After the wireless access point device 100 and the user node device 200 successfully negotiate the TWT parameters, the user node device 200 may save the TWT parameters and perform corresponding control according to the TWT parameters. For example, the ue 200 may switch from the sleep state to the active state at the wake-up time and interact with the wireless access point device 100 during the period to which the wake-up duration belongs, or may switch from the active state to the sleep state during the period to which the wake-up interval duration series belongs, so as to save power consumption.

It may be appreciated that at the wake-up time, signaling may be sent by the ue 200 to the ap 100 to establish a connection with the ap 100 and perform data interaction during the wake-up duration; of course, at the wake-up time, signaling may also be sent by the wireless access point device 100 to the user node device 200 to establish a connection of a wireless channel with the wireless access point device 100 and wake-up the wireless access point device 100. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the wake-up mode of the wireless access point device 100.

According to the communication method, the wireless access point device 100 can acquire the communication parameters of each user node device 200 within the preset duration, wherein the communication parameters comprise at least one of data interaction quantity and data transmission efficiency; determining TWT parameters of each user node device 200 according to the communication parameters, wherein the TWT parameters comprise wake-up interval duration sequences which can be unequal interval duration; according to the TWT parameters, communicates with the user node device 200. Based on this, the wireless access point device 100 and the user node device 200 in the embodiments of the present application may perform TWT negotiation communication according to a wake-up interval duration sequence of a non-equidistant duration, where on one hand, the wake-up interval duration sequence of the non-equidistant duration is obtained according to communication parameters such as a data interaction amount and a data transmission efficiency of the user node device 200 and the wireless access point device 100, and the non-equidistant duration may be associated with a current application scenario of the user node device 200, and the non-equidistant duration sequence may be more suitable for the current application scenario of the user node device 200; on the other hand, compared with the wake-up interval duration sequence with equal interval duration, the wake-up interval duration sequence with unequal interval duration can enhance the response capability of the user node equipment 200 and improve the user experience; in still another aspect, the wake-up interval duration sequences of the unequal interval duration segments may enable wake-up time of the plurality of user node devices 200 to be different, so that the wake-up time of the plurality of users is unlikely to collide, and the communication connection performance between the wireless access point device 100 and the plurality of user node devices 200 is better.

In some embodiments, the wake-up interval duration sequence of the unequal interval duration may be set according to the usage habit of the ue 200, for example, the ue 200 may determine the wake-up interval duration sequence according to the previous usage habit and send it to the wireless ap 100, so as to facilitate TWT negotiation by the ue and the ue. It can be understood that a wake-up interval duration model curve can be designed according to parameters such as usage habit of the user node device, current application scene (or predicted current application scene), and a set of wake-up interval duration sequences of non-equal interval duration segments can be designed according to the model curve.

In some embodiments, according to the acquired communication parameters, TWT parameters of each user node device 200 may also be determined, where the TWT parameters may include at least one of a wake-up interval duration sequence that may be a non-equally-spaced duration, and a wake-up duration sequence that may be a non-equally-spaced duration.

For example, when the amount of data interaction in the acquired communication parameters is large, for example, greater than or equal to the first preset data interaction amount threshold, the wireless access point device 100 may consider that the user node device 200 is in the first application scenario of the large amount of data, and the wireless access point device 100 may determine that the duration of the wake interval in the TWT time period negotiated with the user node device 200 is zero, so that the duration of the wake is always in a continuous state.

For another example, when the amount of data interaction in the acquired communication parameters is greater, for example, greater than or equal to the second preset data interaction amount threshold, the wireless access point device 100 may consider that the user node device 200 is in the second application scenario with a large amount of data, and the wireless access point device 100 may also determine that each wakeup interval duration in the wakeup interval duration sequence in the TWT time period negotiated with the user node device 200 is very short, for example, shorter than the first time period.

For another example, when the amount of data interaction in the acquired communication parameters is not too large, for example, is smaller than a preset data interaction amount threshold, the wireless access point device 100 may consider that the user node device 200 is in a third application scenario with a small amount of data, and the wireless access point device 100 may determine that the wake interval duration sequence in the TWT time period negotiated with the user node device 200 is moderate, and may determine that the wake duration is moderate.

It is understood that the wake-up duration sequence of the unequal interval duration may be an increasing unequal interval duration sequence, a decreasing unequal interval duration sequence, or a freely arranged unequal interval duration sequence; the wake-up duration sequence of non-equally spaced time periods may be, but is not limited to, a prime number sequence of non-1. The embodiment of the application does not limit the wake-up duration sequence of the unequal interval duration.

When the TWT parameter includes a wake-up duration sequence of a non-equidistant time period, as with the wake-up interval duration sequence of the non-equidistant time period, the wake-up duration sequence of the non-equidistant time period may also be associated with a current application scenario of the user node device 200, where the wake-up duration sequence of the non-equidistant time period is more adaptive to the current application scenario of the user node device 200; compared with the wake-up duration sequence with equal interval duration, the wake-up duration sequence with unequal interval duration can also enhance the response capability of the user node equipment 200 and improve the user experience; in addition, the wake-up duration sequences of the unequal interval duration segments can also enable the wake-up time of the plurality of user node devices 200 to be different, so that the wake-up time of the plurality of users is unlikely to collide, and the communication connection performance between the wireless access point device 100 and the plurality of user node devices 200 is better.

In some embodiments, the communication parameters include at least an amount of data interaction and an efficiency of data transmission; acquiring communication parameters of each user node device 200 in communication with the wireless access point device 100 for a preset duration includes: and acquiring the data transmission efficiency and the data interaction quantity of each user node device 200 in the preset time length. Determining TWT parameters for each user node device 200 based on the communication parameters, including: determining a network demand evaluation value of each user node device 200 according to the data interaction amount and the data transmission efficiency; wherein, the network demand evaluation value and the data interaction quantity change in positive correlation, and the network demand evaluation value and the data transmission efficiency change in negative correlation; and determining a wake-up interval time length sequence of each user node device 200 according to the network demand evaluation value, wherein the wake-up interval time length sequence and the network demand evaluation value are in negative correlation change.

It will be appreciated that the network demand rating value may be associated with a current usage scenario of the user node device 200, which may reflect the extent to which the user node device 200 is required for network transmission. The larger the value of the network demand evaluation value is, the larger the data interaction amount that the user node device 200 needs to transmit with the wireless access point device 100 is, the more limited by the channel transmission capability, and the lower the data transmission efficiency is; conversely, the smaller the value of the network demand evaluation value, the smaller the amount of data interaction the user node device 200 needs to transmit with the wireless access point device 100, and the higher the data transmission efficiency.

It can be appreciated that the network demand evaluation value may change in negative correlation with the wake-up interval duration sequence, and the larger the network demand evaluation value, the shorter the interval duration of the wake-up interval duration sequence may be; the smaller the network demand evaluation value, the longer the interval duration of the wake-up interval duration sequence can be. The network demand evaluation value can also change in positive correlation with the wake-up duration sequence, and the larger the network demand evaluation value is, the longer the duration of the wake-up duration sequence can be; the smaller the network demand rating value, the longer the duration of the wake-up duration sequence may be.

For example, when the network demand evaluation value determined by the wireless access point device 100 according to the data interaction amount and the data transmission efficiency is greater, the user node device 200 may be in a scenario of large data traffic, and at this time, a wake-up interval duration sequence of a non-equal interval duration segment with a smaller wake-up interval duration segment may be set, and a wake-up duration sequence of a non-equal interval duration segment with a longer wake-up duration segment may also be set, so that session interval durations of the user node device 200 and the wireless access point device 100 may be shortened, communication session durations of the user node device 200 and the wireless access point device 100 may be increased, and response capability of the user node device 200 may be improved.

For another example, when the network requirement evaluation value determined by the wireless access point device 100 according to the data interaction amount and the data transmission efficiency is smaller, the user node device 200 may be in a small data traffic scenario, and at this time, a wake-up interval duration sequence of a non-equal interval duration segment with a moderate or longer wake-up interval duration segment may be set, and a wake-up duration sequence of a non-equal interval duration segment with a shorter wake-up duration segment may also be set, so that power consumption of the user node device 200 may be further saved.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the network demand evaluation value may be determined only according to the data interaction amount, or may be determined only according to the data transmission efficiency, or may be determined simultaneously according to the data interaction amount and the data transmission efficiency. In other words, the embodiment of the application may determine the TWT parameter by at least one of the data interaction amount and the data transmission efficiency.

According to the communication method, the wake-up interval duration sequence and the wake-up duration sequence are determined according to the network demand evaluation value, and the wake-up interval duration sequence and the wake-up duration sequence are more suitable for the current use state of the user node equipment 200, so that the response capability of the user node equipment 200 can be further improved.

In some embodiments, obtaining the data transmission efficiency of each user node device 200 within the preset duration includes: acquiring a communication distance S between each user node device 200 and the wireless access point device 100, a data transmission rate V, a wall penetrating capacity dbi of the wireless access point device 100 and an average distance S0 in a space region where the wireless access point device 100 is positioned; determining the data transmission efficiency of each user node device 200 within a preset time period according to the following formula;

K＝dbi×V×S0/S

where K is the data transmission efficiency of each ue 200 within a preset period of time, dbi is the wall-penetrating capability of the wireless access point device 100, V is the data transmission rate of each ue 200, S0 is the average distance in the spatial region where the wireless access point device 100 is located, and S is the communication distance between each ue 200 and the wireless access point device 100.

It will be appreciated that S may characterize the communication distance between the ue 200 and the wireless access point 100, the wireless access point 100 may send a signal to allow the wireless access point 100 to receive, and then the wireless access point 100 may return a signal, and based on the time node of the two signals and parameters such as the rate of signal transmission, the communication distance S between each ue 200 and the wireless access point 100 may be calculated.

It is to be understood that S0 may be an average distance in a spatial area where the wireless access point device 100 is located, for example, when the wireless access point device 100 is disposed in a certain room, the S0 may be an average distance obtained according to a length, a width, a height, and other parameters in the room, and the S0 may be set in advance. For example, but not limited to, S0, which may have a plurality of different values stored in advance inside the wireless access point device 100, the wireless access point device 100 may determine approximately an average distance range within a spatial region where the wireless access point device 100 is located according to the calculated S, and then select an appropriate S0. It should be noted that, the calculation method of S0 is not limited to the above example, and other schemes that can calculate the average distance in the spatial area where the wireless access point device 100 is located may be within the protection scope of the embodiments of the present application.

According to the communication method of the embodiment of the application, the data transmission efficiency is calculated according to the above formula, the wall penetrating capability of the wireless access point device 100, the communication distance between the wireless access point device 100 and the user node device 200, and the current space environment of the wireless access point device 100 are considered, and the data transmission efficiency is calculated more accurately.

Wherein the communication parameters include data interaction amount and data transmission efficiency; acquiring communication parameters of each user node device 200 in communication with the wireless access point device 100 for a preset duration includes: acquiring the data interaction amount of each user node device 200 in communication with the wireless access point device 100 within a preset duration; and when the data interaction amount is smaller than a preset data interaction amount threshold value, acquiring the data transmission efficiency of each user node device 200 in a preset time length. At this time, determining the TWT parameter of each user node device 200 according to the communication parameter may include: according to the data transmission efficiency (or according to the data transmission efficiency and the data interaction amount), TWT parameters of each user node device 200 are determined, where the TWT parameters include a wake-up interval duration sequence that may be a non-equal interval duration.

It may be appreciated that when the data interaction amount of the ue device 200 with the wireless access point device 100 is smaller than the preset data interaction amount threshold (e.g. smaller than the first preset data interaction amount), the ue device 200 may be in the aforementioned second application scenario or third application scenario, and at this time, the ue device 200 may enter the TWT application scenario with the wireless access point device 100, and may further obtain parameters such as data transmission efficiency, so as to determine TWT parameters of each ue device 200.

It may be appreciated that when the data interaction amount is not less than the preset data interaction amount threshold (e.g., greater than or equal to the first preset data interaction amount), the ue 200 may be in the first application scenario described above, at which time, the ue 200 may determine that the wake interval duration sequence of the ue 200 is zero, and the ue 200 may not enter the TWT application scenario with the wireless access point device 100.

Of course, when the data interaction amount is not less than the preset data interaction amount threshold, the user node device 200 may also determine a wake-up interval duration sequence with a shorter wake-up interval duration of the user node device 200. This is not limiting in the embodiments of the present application.

According to the communication method of the embodiment of the application, the wireless access point device 100 and the user node device 200 can classify the current use scene of the user node device 200 according to the data interaction amount, and can enter the TWT mode when the data interaction amount is not too large, so that the communication between the wireless access point device 100 and the user node device 200 can be more suitable for the current use scene, and the response capability of the user node device 200 is stronger.

In some embodiments, determining TWT parameters for each user node device 200 includes: the sequence of wake-up interval durations of each user node device 200 is determined to be a prime sequence other than 1. When a plurality of different user node apparatuses 200 are set to use a prime number sequence, the wake-up timings of the plurality of user node apparatuses 200 are less likely to collide.

In some embodiments, the wireless access point device 100 is communicatively coupled to a plurality of user nodes, the TWT parameters further comprising a wake-up time sequence; determining TWT parameters for each user node device 200 includes: the wake-up interval duration sequence of each user node device 200 is determined to be a non-equal interval duration, and each wake-up time in the wake-up time sequences of the plurality of user node devices 200 is different. When the wake-up time of the plurality of user node devices 200 is different, the wake-up time of the plurality of users is not easy to collide, and the communication connection performance between the wireless access point device 100 and the plurality of user node devices 200 is better.

Based on the foregoing embodiments, in order to understand the communication method provided in the embodiments of the present application in more detail, please refer to fig. 8, fig. 8 is a second flowchart of the communication method provided in the embodiments of the present application. The communication method may include the steps of:

in 201, obtaining data transmission efficiency and data interaction quantity of each user node device 200 in communication with the wireless access point device 100 within a preset duration;

the data interaction amount may refer to the data transmission amount between the user node device 200 and the wireless access point device 100 within a preset time period. The data transmission efficiency may be a quotient of the amount of data received by the user node device 200 and the amount of data transmitted by the wireless access point device 100 to the user node device 200 within a preset time period.

In 202, determining a network demand evaluation value of each user node device 200 according to the data interaction amount and the data transmission efficiency;

the network demand rating value may be associated with a current usage scenario of the user node device 200, which may reflect a degree of demand of the user node device 200 for network transmissions. The larger the value of the network demand evaluation value is, the larger the data interaction amount that the user node device 200 needs to transmit with the wireless access point device 100 is, the more limited by the channel transmission capability, and the lower the data transmission efficiency is; conversely, the smaller the value of the network demand evaluation value, the smaller the amount of data interaction the user node device 200 needs to transmit with the wireless access point device 100, and the higher the data transmission efficiency.

In 203, determining a wake-up interval duration sequence of each user node device 200 according to the network demand evaluation value, where the wake-up interval duration sequence and the network demand evaluation value change in a negative correlation manner, and the wake-up interval duration sequence may be a wake-up interval duration sequence of a non-equal interval duration segment;

the network demand evaluation value can be inversely related to the wake-up interval duration sequence, and the larger the network demand evaluation value is, the shorter the interval duration of the wake-up interval duration sequence can be; the smaller the network demand evaluation value, the longer the interval duration of the wake-up interval duration sequence can be.

In 204, the user node device 200 is communicated with according to a TWT parameter that includes the wake interval duration sequence.

The wireless access point device 100 may transmit the TWT parameters to the corresponding user node device 200, negotiate the TWT parameters with the user node device 200, and may communicate with the user node device 200 according to the negotiated TWT parameters, so that the user node device 200 periodically switches between a sleep state and an operating state.

According to the communication method, the wake-up interval time length sequence is determined according to the network demand evaluation value, the wake-up interval time length sequence is more suitable for the current use state of the user node equipment 200, and the response capability of the user node equipment 200 can be further improved.

Based on the foregoing embodiments, in order to understand the communication method provided in the embodiments of the present application in more detail, please refer to fig. 9, fig. 9 is a third flowchart of the communication method provided in the embodiments of the present application. The communication method may include the steps of:

in 301, obtaining a data interaction amount of each user node device 200 in communication with the wireless access point device 100 within a preset duration;

the data interaction amount may refer to the data transmission amount between the user node device 200 and the wireless access point device 100 within a preset time period. The wireless access point device 100 may calculate the data interaction amount according to the size of the data content that the wireless access point device 100 interacts with the user node device 200, and the wireless access point device 100 may determine the data interaction amount according to the bandwidth of the channel established by the wireless access point device 100 and the user node device 200 and the transmission data packet rate within the preset duration.

In 302, when the data interaction amount is not less than a preset data interaction amount threshold, determining that each wakeup interval duration in the wakeup interval duration sequence of the user node device 200 is zero;

when the data interaction amount is not less than the preset data interaction amount threshold (for example, greater than or equal to the first preset data interaction amount), the ue 200 may be in the first application scenario, at this time, the ue 200 may determine that the wake interval duration sequence of the ue 200 is zero, the ue 200 may not enter the TWT application scenario with the wireless access point 100, the wireless access point 100 may always communicate with the ue 200, and the ue 200 may always be in an operating state and not enter the sleep state, so that continuity and smoothness of data communication between the ue 200 and the wireless access point 100 may be ensured.

In 303, when the data interaction amount is smaller than the preset data interaction amount threshold, parameters dbi, V, S0 and S are obtained and the data transmission efficiency of each user node device 200 in the preset time period is determined according to the following formula:

K＝dbi×V×S0/S

where K is the data transmission efficiency of each ue 200 within a preset period of time, dbi is the wall-penetrating capability of the wireless access point device 100, V is the data transmission rate of each ue 200, S0 is the average distance in the spatial region where the wireless access point device 100 is located, and S is the communication distance between each ue 200 and the wireless access point device 100. The wireless access point device 100 may obtain the data transmission efficiency K of each user node device 200 within the preset time period, the wall penetrating capability dbi of the wireless access point device 100, the data transmission rate V of each user node device 200, the average distance S0 in the spatial area where the wireless access point device 100 is located, the communication distance S between each user node device 200 and the wireless access point device 100, and other parameters.

It may be appreciated that when the data interaction amount between the ue device 200 and the wireless access point device 100 is smaller than the preset data interaction amount threshold (e.g. smaller than the first preset data interaction amount), the ue device 200 may be in the aforementioned second application scenario or third application scenario, and at this time, the ue device 200 may enter the TWT application scenario with the wireless access point device 100, and may determine the TWT parameter of each ue device 200 according to further acquiring the parameters such as the data transmission efficiency, etc., so as to ensure continuity and smoothness of data communication between the ue device 200 and the wireless access point device 100, and also reduce the power consumption of the ue device 200 more.

In 304, determining a network demand evaluation value of each user node device 200 according to the data interaction amount and the data transmission efficiency; wherein, the network demand evaluation value and the data interaction quantity change in positive correlation, and the network demand evaluation value and the data transmission efficiency change in negative correlation;

in 305, according to the network demand evaluation value, a wake-up interval duration sequence of each user node device 200 is determined, where the wake-up interval duration sequence may be a wake-up interval duration sequence of a non-equal interval duration, and the wake-up interval duration sequence and the network demand evaluation value change in a negative correlation manner.

In 306, the user node device 200 is communicated with according to a TWT parameter that includes the wake interval duration sequence.

The wireless access point device 100 may transmit the TWT parameters to the corresponding user node device 200, negotiate the TWT parameters with the user node device 200, and may communicate with the user node device 200 according to the negotiated TWT parameters, so that the user node device 200 periodically switches between the sleep state and the operating state.

According to the communication method of the embodiment of the application, the wireless access point device 100 and the user node device 200 classify the current use situation of the user node device 200 according to the data interaction quantity, and the communication between the wireless access point device 100 and the user node device 200 can be more suitable for the current use situation. And, the wake-up interval duration sequence is determined according to the network demand evaluation value, and the wake-up interval duration sequence is more suitable for the current use state of the user node equipment 200, so that the response capability of the user node equipment 200 can be further improved.
