Detailed Description

Reference will now be made in detail to exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, the same numbers in different drawings refer to the same or similar elements, unless otherwise indicated. The implementations described in the following exemplary examples do not represent all implementations consistent with the application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with aspects of the application as detailed in the accompanying claims.

The inventor discovers that after the gateway obtains the data of the sensor, the gateway needs to transmit the data to the server of the Internet of things through the WiFi hot spot network, the mobile network or the Ethernet, so that the gateway can only be arranged in the mobile network, the WiFi hot spot network or the area with the Ethernet for transmitting the data, the Internet of things is limited to collect the data in the area with good signal quality, the data acquired by the Internet of things platform is not abundant enough, and the application effect of the data is poor.

The inventor thinks that when the gateway cannot transmit data through the mobile network, the Ethernet or the WiFi hot spot network, the data is transmitted to the next-hop gateway through the LoRa module, so that the next-hop gateway transmits the data to the server based on the set network, even if the area where the signal quality is poor is located, the data can be transmitted to the server of the Internet of things through the gateway, the Internet of things platform can be ensured to acquire rich data, and the application effect of the data is improved.

Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of an internet of things gateway system according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 1, the internet of things gateway system 100 is composed of a plurality of gateways, each of which is provided with a LoRa (Long Range Radio) module. The LoRa module requires lower power consumption for transmitting data and the transmission distance of the data is longer than other wireless means. The LoRa modules of the gateways can perform data transmission according to a LoRa wan (Long RANGE WIDE AREA Network) protocol, and also can perform data transmission according to a private protocol, wherein the private protocol refers to a customized protocol. Different gateways have different roles in the gateway system of the internet of things. For example, part of the gateway serves as an Access Point (AP) of the server 200; part of the gateway acts as a base Station (STA). Each gateway initiates a relay mode, so that the gateway automatically connects with STAs corresponding to the access node, and the STAs having a correspondence relationship automatically connect with each other, for example, STA1 connects with STA2, and STA2 connects with AP1.

The gateway serving as the base station transmits data to the gateway serving as the access node through the LoRa module, the gateway serving as the access node transmits the data to the server, and one access node can receive the data transmitted by one or more base stations. Illustratively, gateway 110 serves as an access node, may be communicatively connected to a server via a mobile network (e.g., 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G, and higher mobile networks) or a WiFi hotspot network, gateway 120 and gateway 130 serve as base stations, and gateway 120 and gateway 130 communicate data via a LoRa module. Gateway 110, gateway 120, gateway 130 may all be communicatively coupled to node 140. The node is the sensor, and the sensor can low-power consumption sensor, for example Sub-G sensor, and the node also is provided with the loRa module, and the sensor carries out data transmission through the loRa module, and the sensor can be temperature sensor, humidity transducer, carbon dioxide sensor etc.. The Sub-G sensor refers to a sensor for data transmission using a frequency band of 1G or less.

Further, the gateway serving as the access node may be disposed in an area with good signal quality, and the gateway serving as the base station may be disposed in an area with poor signal quality. The gateways can be automatically connected by starting a repeat mode (relay mode), so that a plurality of gateways based on the LoRa technology form an Internet of things gateway system. Through the deployment mode, the STA can be ensured to transmit acquired sensor data to a gateway installed in an area with good signal quality, and then the gateway transmits the data to a server of the Internet of things through a mobile network or a WiFi hot spot network. It should be noted that, a part of base stations may be set in an area with good signal quality, so that STAs in the area with good signal quality receive data, and may transmit the data to APs corresponding to the STAs through the LoRa module or the configuration network, and the APs may transmit the data to the server through the configuration network. When the AP receives the data transmitted by the server, the AP transmits the data to the STA through the self LoRa module, and the STA receives the data and transmits the data to the sensor through the self LoRa module.

Further, the LoRa module in the gateway may use a high frequency band or a low frequency band for data transmission, for example, the LoRa module uses a high frequency band of 2.4G for data transmission, or uses a low frequency band of less than 1G for data transmission. The gateway adopts the high frequency band to carry out data transmission, and even if the data volume of the data is large, the data transmission rate can be ensured to be faster. The LoRa module in the gateway adopts a low frequency band to transmit data to the sensor, and adopts a 2.4G frequency band to transmit data to other gateways.

The STA is used as a bridge between the sensor and the AP, specifically, when the Sub-G sensor transmits data to the STA through the LoRa module, the LoRa module in the STA adopts a frequency band of 2.4G to transmit the data to the STA of the next hop, if the STA of the next hop is in a region with good signal quality, the STA of the next hop transmits the data to the AP through a set network or the LoRa module; and if the next-hop STA is in the area with poor signal quality, the next-hop STA continuously transmits the data to the next-hop STA of the STA based on the self LoRa module.

The role of the AP in the gateway system of the internet of things is a central hub. And receiving the data transmitted by the STA through the LoRa module, and forwarding the data to the server through a mobile network, a WiFi hot spot network or an Ethernet.

The following describes the technical scheme of the present application and how the technical scheme of the present application solves the above technical problems in detail with specific embodiments. The following embodiments may be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described in detail in some embodiments. Embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a flowchart of a first embodiment of a data transmission method according to the present application, where the data transmission method includes the following steps:

Step S201, receiving first data transmitted by the first target device through the LoRa module, and determining whether the first gateway has a capability of transmitting data through a set network, where the first target device includes a sensor or any gateway in the gateway system of the internet of things, and the set network includes a mobile network, a WiFi hotspot network or an ethernet.

In this embodiment, the execution body is a first gateway, the first gateway is any gateway in the gateway system of the internet of things, and each gateway in the gateway system of the internet of things is provided with a LoRa module. The specific architecture of the gateway system of the internet of things refers to the above description and will not be described in detail herein.

After the sensor collects data, the data are transmitted to the gateway through the self LoRa module, and the data collected by the sensor are defined as first data. In addition, after the first data is transmitted to the gateway, if the gateway does not have the capability of setting network transmission data, the gateway transmits the first data to the first gateway through the self LoRa module. It may be appreciated that the first gateway receives the first data transmitted by the first target device through the LoRa module, where the first target device includes a sensor or other gateway in the gateway system of the internet of things, and the other gateway is a gateway other than the first gateway.

After the first gateway obtains the first data, it needs to determine whether the first gateway has the capability of transmitting the data through the set network.

In an example, the first gateway stores location information, where the location information includes a mobile network coverage signal strength of a location where the first gateway is located, where the signal strength may be detected before the first gateway is installed or may be detected in real time by the first gateway, if the signal strength is greater than a preset threshold, it may be determined that the signal quality of the location where the first gateway is located is good, and the first gateway may perform data transmission through a set network, that is, the first gateway has a capability of transmitting data through the set network; if the signal strength is smaller than or equal to the preset threshold, the signal quality of the position of the first gateway is poor, and the first gateway does not have the capability of transmitting data through the set network. The set-up network comprises a mobile network, a WiFi hotspot network or an ethernet network.

In another example, a gateway installed in an area with better signal quality is provided with a communication module for setting a network, for example, an LTE (Long Term Evolution ) module, an ethernet communication module, or a wifi module; and the gateway installed in the area with poor signal quality is not provided with a communication module for setting a network, and is only provided with a LoRa module. Therefore, the first gateway obtains the configuration information of the first gateway, and if the configuration information does not include the information of the communication module of the setting network, the first gateway can be determined to not have the capability of transmitting data through the setting network. Otherwise, the configuration information includes information of the communication module of the setting network, and the first gateway is determined to have the capability of transmitting data through the setting network.

In still another example, the gateway is installed as a base station in a poor signal quality area, and the gateway is installed as an access node in a good signal quality area, so that the first gateway can determine whether the first gateway has the capability of setting network transmission data through the role of the gateway system of the internet of things. Specifically, when the role of the first gateway is a base station of the gateway system of the internet of things, it is determined that the first gateway does not have the capability of transmitting data through the set network, and when the role is an access node of the gateway system of the internet of things, it is determined that the first gateway has the capability of transmitting data through the set network.

Step S202, when the first gateway does not have the capability of transmitting data through the set network, determining a next hop gateway of the first gateway in each gateway of the gateway system of the Internet of things.

When the first gateway does not have the capability of transmitting data through the network of the device, the first gateway determines a next-hop gateway in each gateway of the gateway system of the internet of things. The first gateway stores a communication address of a next-hop gateway, and the gateway corresponding to the communication address is the next-hop gateway. The communication address may be one or more, i.e. the next hop gateway is one or more.

Step S203, the first data is transmitted to the next-hop gateway through the LoRa module in the first gateway, wherein when the next-hop gateway has the capability of transmitting the data through the set network, the next-hop gateway transmits the first data to the server through the set network.

After determining the next-hop gateway, the first gateway transmits the first data to the next-hop gateway based on the LoRa module. And if the next-hop gateway has the capacity of transmitting data through the setting network, the next-hop gateway transmits the first data to the server through the setting network. If the next-hop gateway does not have the capability of transmitting data through the set network, the next-hop gateway transmits the first data to other gateways until the first data is transmitted to the gateway with the capability of transmitting data through the set network, and the gateway with the capability of transmitting data through the set network transmits the first data to the server.

In addition, in the process of passing the first Data from the sensor to the server through the gateway, the gateway receiving the first Data needs to encode the first Data, for example, DR (Data Rate), SNR (Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio ) and RSSI (RECEIVED SIGNAL STRENGTH Indication of received signal strength), and uplink DR and channel.

Further, the server will transmit data to the sensor through the gateway, where the data is defined as second data, i.e. the second data is downstream data, and the first data is upstream data. The first gateway does not have the capability of transmitting data through the set network, and when the first gateway receives second data which is transmitted by the last hop gateway and is used as downlink data, the first gateway transmits the second data to the sensor through the LoRa module.

In this embodiment, when the first gateway receives data transmitted by other gateways or sensors, it determines whether the first gateway has the capability of transmitting data through a mobile network, a WiFi hotspot network, an ethernet network or other set network, and if the first gateway does not have the capability of transmitting data through the set network, the first gateway transmits the data to the next-hop gateway through its LoRa module, so that the next-hop gateway with the capability of transmitting data through the set network transmits the data to the server. In this embodiment, when the gateway cannot perform data transmission through the mobile network, the ethernet or the WiFi hotspot network, the data is transmitted to the next-hop gateway through the LoRa module, so that the next-hop gateway transmits the data to the server based on the set network, even if the area where the signal quality is poor is located, the data can also be transmitted to the server of the internet of things through the gateway, the internet of things platform is ensured to be capable of acquiring rich data, and the effect of applying the data is improved.

In one embodiment, the server transmits data to the sensor via the gateway, the data being defined as second data, i.e. the second data is downstream data and the first data is upstream data. The first gateway receives second data transmitted by the second target device based on the set network. The first gateway is not capable of transmitting data over the provisioning network and the second target device is an access node. And after the first gateway receives the second data, the second data is transmitted to the sensor through the LoRa module.

The first gateway has the capability of transmitting data through a set network, the role of the first gateway is as an access node, and the second target device is as a server. At this time, after the first gateway obtains the second data, the data is transmitted to the STA through the LoRa module, and the STA transmits the second data to the sensor through the LoRa module. In the downstream path (in the path where the server transmits the second data to the sensor), the STA adds downstream metadata (an instruction of the server) to the data to be transmitted (second data) and downstream to the AP to which the STA corresponds, so that the forwarding of the second data can be performed by the correct AP, and the AP can use the correct timing, and in addition, the AP can also perform the transmission of the second data using the desired DR and frequency.

In this embodiment, when the first gateway transmits the second data transmitted by the second target device to the sensor, the server of the internet of things can transmit the data to the sensor.

Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a third embodiment of a data transmission method according to the present application, based on the first embodiment, step S203 includes:

step S301, a LoRa module in a first gateway is controlled to adopt a 2.4G frequency band to transmit first data to a next-hop gateway, wherein when the next-hop gateway has the capability of transmitting data through a set network, the next-hop gateway transmits the first data to a server through the set network.

In this embodiment, the gateway is provided with a low-frequency module, for example, a SUB-G concentrator, that is, the first gateway receives the low-frequency signal through the low-frequency module to obtain the first data.

In order to ensure the transmission rate of the first data, a high-frequency module, such as a 2.4G concentrator, is further disposed in the first gateway. Due to the 2.4G concentrator, the LoRa module in the first gateway can adopt a 2.4G frequency band to transmit first data to the next hop gateway in the form of a LoRa radio frequency signal, and it can be understood that the LoRa module in the sensor adopts a frequency band lower than 1GHz to transmit data, and the LoRa module in the gateway adopts a 2.4GHz frequency band to transmit data.

In this embodiment, the LoRa module in the first gateway adopts the 24G frequency band to transmit the first data to the next hop gateway, so that the first gateway adopts a network with a larger bandwidth to transmit the data, thereby ensuring the data transmission rate.

Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a third embodiment of the data transmission method according to the present application, based on the first or second embodiment, step S201 includes step S401 and step S402, and step S203 includes step S403, which is specifically as follows:

step S401, acquiring a first identifier carried by the first data.

In step S402, when the carried first identifier does not include the second identifier of the first gateway, it is determined whether the first gateway has a capability of transmitting data through a set network, where the first target device includes a sensor or a gateway in the gateway system of the internet of things, and the set network includes a mobile network, a WiFi hotspot network, or an ethernet.

In this embodiment, when the gateway forwards data, the identifier of the gateway is added to the data, and when the gateway receives the data, if the data carries the identifier of the gateway, it can be determined that the gateway forwards the data, and the data does not need to be forwarded again, so that the resources of the gateway can be saved.

In contrast, after the first gateway receives the first data, the first identifier carried by the first data is obtained, and the first identifier forwards the identifier of the gateway of the first data.

When the carried first identifier does not include the second identifier of the first gateway, it may be determined that the first gateway has not forwarded the first data, and thus it is required to determine whether the first gateway has the capability of transmitting the data through the set network, that is, step S202 is performed.

If the carried first identifier comprises the second identifier, the first gateway can be determined to forward the first data, and the first gateway discards the first data.

Step S403, the first data carrying the first identifier and the second identifier is transmitted to the next-hop gateway through the LoRa module in the first gateway, and when the next-hop gateway has the capability of transmitting the data through the set network, the next-hop gateway transmits the first data to the server through the set network.

When the first gateway does not forward the first data and the first gateway does not have the capability of transmitting the data through the set network, the first gateway forwards the first data carrying the first identifier and the second identifier to the next hop gateway through the LoRa module.

In this embodiment, the first gateway adds the identifier of itself and the existing first identifier to the first data, and forwards the first data, so as to avoid the first gateway forwarding the first data again, and save the resources of the first gateway.
