Detailed Description

The following description of the embodiments of the present application will be made clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which it is apparent that the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present application, but not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the application without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the application.

With the popularity of mobile terminals, the requirements of users on signal coverage of wireless Access Points (APs) and roaming time slots between wireless APs are increasing. On this basis, multi-AP (Multi-AP) technology has also been developed to a great extent.

There are various networking modes between wireless APs, and at present, networking by using existing ethernet in a room and wireless signals of the wireless APs is most common from the viewpoints of cost and compatibility. For example, as shown in fig. 1, an existing networking architecture may include a plurality of wireless access devices (corresponding to the aforementioned wireless APs), switches, wireless controllers, gateways, firewalls, and the like.

When networking is performed, the networking architecture shown in fig. 1 generally accesses the wireless access device to the switch and the wireless controller through the network cable, so as to access the whole local area network, and then accesses the metropolitan area network through the gateway and the firewall. When the wireless access device accesses the switch, the wireless access device mostly adopts a network cable mode for access.

Generally, each wireless access device generally includes an antenna, a radio frequency Chip, an SOC (System on Chip), and the like. The antenna is used for receiving or transmitting radio frequency signals; the radio frequency chip is used for converting radio frequency signals into wired signals and sending the converted wired signals to the SOC; the SOC is used to convert the wired signal into an ethernet signal, which enters the switch and the wireless controller via the ethernet protocol, thereby accessing the entire ethernet.

The wireless controller is also called a wireless access point controller (Wireless Access Point Controller, AC), which is a network device for centralized control of wireless APs, and is a core of a wireless network and is responsible for managing all wireless APs in the wireless network. The management of the wireless controller to the AP comprises the following steps: issuing configuration, modifying relevant configuration parameters, intelligent radio frequency management, access security control and the like.

After the wireless access device accesses the switch and the wireless controller, the wireless access device may transmit the received signal to the switch or the wireless controller.

The inventor finds that when the wireless access device transmits signals to the switch or the wireless controller through the existing networking architecture, the wireless access device transmits the signals to an antenna in the wireless access device, then the antenna in the wireless access device transmits the signals to a radio frequency chip in the wireless access device, then the radio frequency chip transmits the signals to the SOC, and then the SOC transmits the signals to the switch or the wireless controller through a network cable. In the signal transmission mode, the wireless access device includes the SOC, so that the deployment cost is high when the wireless access device is deployed, and meanwhile, the networking power consumption of the wireless access device is high.

Accordingly, the inventors propose a signal transmission method, system, apparatus, wireless access device, electronic device, and storage medium in the present application. Firstly, radio frequency signals received by an antenna in wireless access equipment are converted into wired signals through a radio frequency chip in the wireless access equipment, and then the wired signals are sent to a core processor outside the wireless access equipment, so that the core processor processes the wired signals, and the processed signals are transmitted to a target network. By the method, the wireless access equipment only comprises the antenna and the radio frequency chip, so that the deployment cost of the wireless access equipment can be reduced, the networking power consumption of the wireless access equipment can be greatly reduced, and the path length of signal transmission of the wireless access equipment can be shortened when the processed signal is transmitted to the target network through the wireless access equipment only comprising the antenna and the radio frequency chip.

Embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to fig. 2, a signal transmission method provided by an embodiment of the present application is applied to a wireless access device, where the wireless access device includes an antenna and a radio frequency chip, and the method includes:

Step S110: and converting the radio frequency signals received by the antenna into wired signals through the radio frequency chip.

In the embodiment of the application, the wireless access device may be an electronic device in an AP mode and including an antenna and a radio frequency chip. The electronic device may include an AP mode and a STA (station) mode, among others. When the electronic device is in the AP mode, the electronic device can serve as a wireless access device to provide wireless access service, allow other wireless devices to access, and provide data access. When the electronic device is in the STA mode, the electronic device itself does not accept wireless access, and the electronic device in the STA mode may be connected to the electronic device in the AP mode.

The radio frequency signal received by the antenna may be a signal corresponding to a connection request sent by the terminal device. The connection request sent by the terminal device may refer to a request that the terminal device joins the wireless network where the wireless access device is located, or may be a connection request sent to other devices in the target network for the terminal device. The terminal device may be a device with a WIFI module, such as a smart phone, a computer, a tablet, a notebook computer, and an intelligent wearable device, which is not specifically limited herein.

The wired signal may be a PCIE (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express, high-speed serial computer expansion bus standard) protocol signal, and of course, the wired signal may also be a wired signal based on other protocols, which is not limited herein.

In the embodiment of the application, the radio frequency chip is used for converting the radio frequency signal received by the antenna into a PCIE protocol signal based on a PCIE (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express, high-speed serial computer expansion bus standard) protocol.

As one way, before the radio frequency signal received by the antenna is converted into a wired signal by the radio frequency chip, the method further includes: receiving a networking request sent by the core processor through the radio frequency chip; and networking with the core processor based on the networking request.

The core Processor may be a high-performance CPU (Central Processing Unit/Processor) integrating functions of the switch, the wireless controller and the SOC, and is mainly configured to process wired signals sent by the wireless access device. Optionally, the core processor may be deployed in the core room, so that the upgrade maintenance is performed in the core room.

Before the radio frequency signals received by the antenna are converted into wired signals through the radio frequency chip, the wireless access equipment and the core processor are firstly networked, so that the wireless access equipment can transmit wireless network signals to the surrounding, and the mobile terminal can access the wireless network through the wireless network signals.

In the prior art, when the wireless access device performs networking, the wireless controller needs to send the access configuration parameters to the wireless access device, the wireless access device sends the access request to the switch after receiving the access configuration parameters sent by the wireless controller, and then the switch can check the wireless access device based on the access request sent by the wireless access device, and the wireless access device is allowed to perform networking under the condition that the check of the wireless access device is passed.

In the embodiment of the application, in order to shorten the networking path of the wireless access device, the functions of the switch, the wireless controller and the SOC are integrated in the core processor, so that when the wireless access device and the core processor are used for networking, the networking request is only required to be sent to the wireless access input device through the core processor, after the wireless access device receives the networking request sent by the core processor, a verification request can be sent to the core processor, and then the core processor can verify the wireless access device through the verification request, so that the wireless access device can be directly networked with the core processor under the condition that the verification of the wireless access device passes. By the method, the checksum networking request of the wireless access equipment is sent and concentrated in one equipment for processing, so that the networking path length of the wireless access equipment during networking is shortened.

Alternatively, the networking request may be a radio frequency signal generated after the core processor is operated. The operations performed on the core processor may be operations such as start-up, shutdown, restart, or mode switching, which are not specifically limited herein.

The verification request may include verification information of the wireless access device, where the verification information may include various information, for example, the verification information may include information such as an IP (Internet Protocol, network protocol) address, an account password, an MAC (Media Access Control ) address, etc., and of course, the verification information may also include other information, which is not limited herein specifically.

As shown in fig. 3, fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of a networking architecture of a wireless access device and a core processor in the embodiment of the present application, where in fig. 3, it can be seen that the wireless access device includes only an antenna and a radio frequency chip, and when the wireless access device and the core processor are networked, only the core processor needs to send a networking request to the radio frequency chip in the wireless access device, and then the wireless access device can perform networking with the core processor based on the networking request, so that the wireless access device can access a target network where the core processor is located.

Through the architecture of the wireless access device shown in fig. 3, it can be seen that, compared with the prior art, the wireless access device has no SOC, so that the performance of the wireless access device is not limited by the performance of the SOC, the deployment cost of the wireless access device is greatly saved, and the networking power consumption of the wireless access device is greatly reduced.

Step S120: and sending the wired signal to a core processor outside the wireless access equipment, so that the core processor processes the wired signal and transmits the processed signal to a target network.

In the embodiment of the present application, the processing of the wired signal by the core processor may refer to that the core processor may process the wired signal based on the network protocol corresponding to the target network, and convert the wired signal into a signal based on the network protocol corresponding to the target network. The target network may be a wired local area network, a wired metropolitan area network, an ethernet network, etc., which is not particularly limited herein.

The processed signal may be a signal that may be transmitted in the target network, i.e., the processed signal is a signal based on a network protocol corresponding to the target network. For example, the target network is an ethernet network, and the processed signal may be an ethernet signal.

Optionally, the wireless access device sends the wired signal to a core processor outside the wireless access device through the radio frequency chip, so that the core processor can process the wired signal sent by the radio frequency chip based on a network protocol corresponding to the target network, and convert the wired signal into a signal based on the network protocol corresponding to the target network.

After the core processor processes the wired signal sent by the radio frequency chip, the processed signal can be transmitted to the target network, so that the wireless access device can perform data transmission with other devices in the target network.

In one manner, the sending the wired signal to a core processor other than the wireless access device, so that the core processor processes the wired signal and transmits the processed signal to a target network, includes: and sending the wired signal to the core processor in an optical fiber transmission mode, so that the core processor converts the wired signal into an Ethernet signal and transmits the Ethernet signal to a target network.

The optical fiber transmission is data and signal transmission by taking the optical fiber as a medium. The optical fiber not only can be used for transmitting analog signals and digital signals, but also can meet the requirement of video transmission. Optical fiber transmission is generally carried out by using an optical cable, the data transmission rate of a single optical fiber can reach several Gbps, and the transmission distance can reach several tens of kilometers without using a repeater. The Ethernet signal is a signal based on an Ethernet protocol; the target network may be an ethernet network.

In the embodiment of the application, the wireless access equipment and the core processor can be connected by optical fibers, so that the wireless access equipment can transmit wired signals to the core processor in an optical fiber transmission mode. The wireless access equipment and the core processor are connected through the optical fiber, compared with the mode of connection through a network cable in the prior art, the connection cost is reduced, meanwhile, the limitation of the network wiring 100mi of the existing wireless access equipment is broken through, the distance limitation of the deployment of the wireless access equipment is broken through, and the signal transmission distance is greatly improved.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, a signal transmission manner of the wireless access device is different from a signal transmitted by a wireless access device in the prior art, and the signal transmission manner of the wireless access device in the embodiment of the present application may enable the signal to be transmitted to a longer distance and may enable the signal to be transmitted to the target device more quickly than the signal transmission manner of the wireless access device in the prior art.

Further, as shown in fig. 1, in the prior art, the wireless access device converts the radio frequency signal into the wired signal through the radio frequency chip, then sends the wired signal to the SOC, and then the SOC converts the wired signal and sends the wired signal to the switch and the wireless controller through the network. In the present application, as shown in fig. 3, after the radio access device directly converts the radio frequency signal received by the antenna into the wired signal through the radio frequency chip, the wired signal is sent to the core processor through the optical fiber transmission mode, and the core processor processes the core processor. In both ways, the latter shifts the processing of the wired signal to the core processor, so that the power consumption of the wireless access device can be reduced.

The application provides a signal transmission method, which comprises the steps of firstly converting a radio frequency signal received by an antenna in wireless access equipment into a wired signal through a radio frequency chip in the wireless access equipment, and then sending the wired signal to a core processor outside the wireless access equipment, so that the core processor processes the wired signal and transmits the processed signal to a target network. By the method, after the radio frequency signals are converted into the wired signals through the radio frequency chip, the wired signals are transmitted to the core processor for processing, and the processed signals are transmitted to the target network, so that the path length of signal transmission of the wireless access equipment is shortened, and the deployment cost of the wireless access equipment can be reduced and the networking power consumption of the wireless access equipment is greatly reduced because the wireless access equipment only comprises the antenna and the radio frequency chip.

Referring to fig. 4, a signal transmission method provided by an embodiment of the present application is applied to a core processor, and the method includes:

step S210: and receiving a wired signal sent by the wireless access equipment, wherein the wired signal is a signal obtained by converting a radio frequency signal received by an antenna included in the wireless access equipment through a radio frequency chip included in the wireless access equipment.

In the embodiment of the application, the core processor can directly receive the wired signals sent by the wireless access device, or alternatively, the core processor can receive the wired signals sent by a plurality of wireless access devices through the multi-way expander.

The multipath extender may be a PCIE chip, configured to receive wired signals of multiple wireless access devices. In the embodiment of the application, the multipath expander can be a separate device or can be a component in the core processor. The setting of the multi-way expander may be determined based on the number of wireless access devices to which the core processor needs to be connected, and in particular, when the number of wireless access devices to which the core processor needs to be connected exceeds the maximum number of wireless access devices to which the core processor can be connected, the multi-way expander may be set so that wired signals transmitted by the plurality of wireless access devices may be received through the multi-way expander. Wherein the maximum number of wireless access devices to which the core processor may connect may be determined based on the number of cores the core processor includes. By way of example, if the core processor is an 8-core processor, then the maximum number of wireless access devices that the core processor can connect to may be 8.

In the embodiment of the application, one multipath expander can receive the wired signals sent by a plurality of wireless access devices; when there is a wired signal transmitted by a wireless access device exceeding the maximum number of wireless access devices to which the core processor can be connected, the multiplexer can be set to receive the wired signal; when the number of wireless access devices transmitting the wired signals exceeds a number threshold, all the wired signals may be received by setting a plurality of multiplexers. The number threshold is a preset value of the maximum number of wireless access devices which are preset and can be connected with more than one multipath expander and the core processor.

For example, a schematic diagram of a core processor and a multipath extender may be shown in fig. 5, where in fig. 5, a plurality of multipath extenders are included for receiving wired signals sent by a plurality of wireless access devices.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, in a case where a plurality of multipath expanders are provided, the core processor may process the multipath wired signals according to a preset sequence after receiving the multipath wired signals. The preset sequence is a preset sequence for processing the wired signals.

As one of these, the core processor may process multiple wired signals in the time sequence in which the wired signals are received. Specifically, the core processor may process the first received wired signal, then process the wired signal received after the first received wired signal, and so on until all the wired signals are processed.

As another way, the core processor may process the received wired signal in units of a multipath expander. Specifically, the multiple expanders may be sequenced first, and then the wired signals received by each multiple expander are processed sequentially according to the sequence of the multiple expanders. When the multiple multipath expanders are ordered, the multiple multipath expanders can be ordered according to the sequence of the initial setting time of the multiple multipath expanders.

As yet another approach, the core processor may process the received multiple wired signals based on the priority of the wireless access device transmitting the wired signals. Specifically, the corresponding priority may be set for the wireless access device in advance, and when the core processor receives multiple paths of wired signals, the priority of the wireless access device that sends the wired signals may be determined first, so that the core processor may process the received wired signals based on the order of the priorities of the wireless access devices that send the wired signals from high to low. When the priority is set for the wireless access device, the corresponding priority can be set for the wireless access device based on the type of the wireless access device; alternatively, the priority of the wireless access device may be set based on the communication distance between the wireless access device and the core processor, for example, if the communication distance between the wireless access device and the core processor is shorter, the priority of the corresponding wireless access device is higher, otherwise, if the communication distance between the wireless access device and the core processor is longer, the priority of the corresponding wireless access device is lower. Of course, the priority setting of the wireless access device may be set based on other manners, which is not specifically limited herein.

Further, in the case where the processor processes the wired signals in the order from high to low based on the priority of the wireless access devices transmitting the wired signals, there is a possibility that the priorities of the plurality of wireless access devices are the same, in which case, the processing may be performed on the wired signals transmitted by the wireless access devices having the same priority in one step based on the time sequence of receiving the wired signals.

Of course, when the wired signals transmitted by the wireless access devices having the same priority are processed based on the sequence of the times of receiving the wired signals, if the reception times of the wired signals may be the same, the wired signals having the same reception time may be processed according to the arrangement sequence of the multipath expanders for receiving the wired signals.

The above-described modes may be arbitrarily combined, and are not particularly limited herein.

Step S220: and processing the wired signal and transmitting the processed signal to a target network.

In the embodiment of the present application, the processing of the wired signal by the core processor may refer to that the core processor may process the wired signal based on the network protocol corresponding to the target network, and convert the wired signal into a signal based on the network protocol corresponding to the target network.

As one way, the processing the wired signal and transmitting the processed signal to a target network includes: processing the wired signal to convert the wired signal into an ethernet signal; transmitting the Ethernet signal into a target network.

Specifically, when the core processor processes the wired signal, the wired signal may be converted into an ethernet signal based on an ethernet protocol.

Further, the core processor includes a high-speed ethernet interface, and the transmitting the ethernet signal to a target network includes: and transmitting the Ethernet signal to a target network through the high-speed Ethernet interface.

In the embodiment of the application, the core processor may include a high-speed ethernet interface, through which an ethernet signal obtained after being processed by the core processor may be transmitted to the ethernet. The high-speed ethernet interface may be an RJ-45 optical fiber interface, an SC optical fiber interface, or the like, which is not specifically limited herein.

The application provides a signal transmission method, which comprises the steps of firstly receiving a wired signal sent by wireless access equipment, wherein the wired signal is a signal obtained by converting a radio frequency signal received by an antenna included by the wireless access equipment through a radio frequency chip included by the wireless access equipment, then processing the wired signal, and transmitting the processed signal to a target network. By the method, the radio frequency chip in the wireless access equipment directly transmits the wired signal to the core processor, and the core processor can directly process the wired signal and transmit the processed signal to the target network, so that the CPU utilization rate of the core processor is improved.
