Description

High-energy-efficiency LoRa MAC protocol based on busy tone beacon
Technical Field
The application relates to the technical field of sensor networks, in particular to a high-energy-efficiency LoRa MAC protocol based on a busy tone beacon.
Background
LoRa is a low-power consumption wide area network (LPWAN) communication technology developed by Semtech company, and a physical layer of the LoRa adopts a linear frequency modulation spread spectrum technology, so that the LoRa has the capabilities of low power consumption and long-distance transmission. LoRaWAN is a remote wide area network protocol developed by LoRa alliance based on LoRa chip, and adopts single-hop, star-shaped network topology structure and ALOHA protocol. Thanks to the excellent characteristics of the lorewan in terms of power consumption and transmission distance, it is widely used in the fields of intelligent meter reading, intelligent parking, intelligent agriculture, intelligent cities, etc.
In a practical industrial scenario, one LoRa gateway is often required to handle data transmission tasks of hundreds or even thousands of LoRa nodes. However, due to the simple design of the lorewan protocol, as the number of nodes increases gradually, serious packet collision problems may be caused, resulting in a drastic decrease in throughput of the gateway. More seriously, when the node cannot obtain an acknowledgement frame (ACK) from the LoRa server, the node will continuously retransmit the data packet, eventually exhausting the energy of the node. Currently, existing studies and patents have not been able to effectively solve this problem.
In order to meet different application scenes, the LoRaWAN provides a LoRa node working mechanism with different modes. Wherein class a adopts a low power mode, and the terminal opens two receiving windows only for a short time after uplink transmission to receive downlink data packets. The B category introduces a beacon mechanism based on the A category, and provides an additional receiving window with a fixed period, so that the terminal can open the receiving window in a specific time. And C, closing the receiving window briefly when data is transmitted, and keeping the receiving window in an open state for the rest of time.
In the existing study of the LoRa network MAC protocol, li Mo et al proposed a scheme of migrating the CSMA mechanism in WIFI to the LoRa network protocol, i.e., LMAC, and first proposed to implement Carrier Sense Multiple Access (CSMA) of LoRa by using CAD (channel activity detection) function of LoRa node hardware. In the LMAC-2 protocol, two different stages of DIFS (Distributed Inter-FRAME SPACING) and frame Back Off (BO) are adopted to detect the channel, after the channel transmission is not detected in both stages, the node formally transmits own data packet, otherwise, the collision probability of the channel is indirectly updated by utilizing the CAD detection condition, so that the node selects other channels with low collision probability to detect and transmit.
The protocol can effectively reduce node transmission collision of the standard LoRaWAN network, but introduces higher energy consumption on channel detection due to the longer CAD detection period, thereby reducing the endurance life of the nodes. In addition, the above protocol does not take into account CAD detection limitations and hidden termination problems.

Step 105, the terminal node selects a target logic channel from the channel selection matrix according to a preset method, and transmits the data packet carrying information to the loRa gateway through the target logic channel.
As a first example, the embodiment of the present application provides a timing diagram of a LoRa gateway broadcasting busy tone beacon data packet. As shown in fig. 2, the embodiment of the present application exemplifies a network composed of two nodes (node a and node B) and one LoRa gateway (i.e., gateway in fig. 2, hereinafter referred to as gateway).
Firstly, an A node firstly transmits a data packet on a certain channel, and in the transmitting stage of the A node, a gateway correspondingly receives the data packet of the A node, and the gateway can continuously broadcast busy tone beacon data packets in a network in the process of receiving the data packet of the A node, so that other nodes can not select the logic channel for transmission in the process of receiving the data packet of the A node by the gateway.
And periodically broadcasting the busy signal beacon data packet by the gateway after a period of time, and simultaneously enabling the node A to enter a receiving stage and receiving the busy signal beacon data packet. At this time, after receiving the busy tone beacon data packet periodically broadcast by the gateway, the node a analyzes the content of the busy tone beacon data packet to obtain channel busy tone information, channel congestion degrees of all the logical channels, channel transmission energy efficiency information of all the logical channels, and updates element values in its local channel selection matrix through the 3 kinds of information.
The next time node a enters the transmit phase, ready to transmit a packet to the gateway, node a may select another better logical channel (ch=3, sf=7) to transmit because the previous channel selection matrix was updated.
And the node B enters a receiving stage, analyzes the content of the busy tone beacon data packet when the busy tone beacon data packet broadcast by the gateway is received, acquires channel busy tone information, channel congestion degrees of all the logic channels and channel transmission energy efficiency information of all the logic channels, and updates element values in a local channel selection matrix of the node B through the 3 types of information.
