Abstract

A system, device, and method for providing low access delay for time-sensitive applications in a shared medium network segregates MAC Users into a high-priority group and a low-priority group. Where the MAC User priorities are not known a priori, the MAC User priorities are inferred from the size of the data packets transmitted by the MAC Users. MAC Users transmitting small packets are placed in the high-priority group, while MAC Users transmitting large packets are placed in the low-priority group. The headend unit first polls all of the high-priority MAC Users, and then polls low-priority MAC Users until either all low-priority MAC Users have been polled or the low-priority MAC Users have been serviced for a predetermined maximum polling time. The headend unit repeats this polling sequence in sequential polling cycles to provide the high-priority MAC Users with expedited access to the shared channel.

Description

In shared-media network, the application of time-sensitive is provided system, the apparatus and method of low access delay
Background of invention
TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
Generally, the present invention relates to communication system, more specifically, relate to the multiple access protocol that on common share communication medium, uses.
Description of related art
In the current information age, exist the needs growing, and this high-speed communication is that the communication user of growing quantity is given security the service (QoS) of quality for prerequisite to high-speed communication.For this reason, various communication networks and technology have been developed, to satisfy the present and following demand.Specifically, developing various new networks, these networks are realized the terminal use of bigger quantity and are being developed the variety of protocol of the additional bandwidth that utilizes these networks efficiently.
A kind of technology that will be used more and more in the future is a shared-media network.Shared-media network is a single communication channel (shared channel) by a plurality of terminal use institute share technique, makes that the difference from the different terminals user sends and can not disturb mutually.In various modern broadband communication networks, general shared communication channel is by one of several frequency ranges of a shared physical media transmission, all (HFC) networks of hybrid fiber/coaxial in this way of these shared physical medias or the electromagnetic wave in free space.Because general various communication network has limited number of communication channels, shared-media network allows many terminal uses to be able to access network by the single communication channel, therefore makes all the other each communication channels will be used to other purposes.But, only to work as each terminal use and all send data off and on, and during quiescent period, allow other user to send, shared-media network is only practicable.
In shared-media network, to shared channel, this interface unit allows the terminal use to send and receive through shared channel to each terminal use by means of access interface unit (AIU) interface.Single AIU can support one or more terminal uses.Wish to utilize each terminal use of this shared channel to share according to medium access control (MAC) agreement, this agreement provides one group of rules and procedures that are used to insert shared channel.For convenience, each sharer in the MAC agreement is called as a MAC user.
Fig. 1 is the logical relation according to the known shared-media network 100 of prior art.Represented as Fig. 1, headend unit 110 is connected to a plurality of AIU 120 through shared channel 130 aTo 120 n(total AIU that is called as s120).In the preferred embodiment, shared channel 130 is by one of a plurality of communication channels of the shared physical medium transmission such as HFC or wireless network.In other embodiments, shared physical medium can be coaxial cable, optical cable, twisted-pair feeder or the like and can also comprise air, atmosphere, or be used for wireless and space satellite communication.Headend unit 110 also is connected to communication network 140, and this network can also comprise such as internet, various in line service, phone and various cable system and other communication system.
Continuation is with reference to Fig. 1, and in the preferred embodiment, the shared physical medium such as HFC or wireless network has or supports a plurality of communication channels.Easy in order to reference, the headend unit in communication channel such as headend unit 110 is used for transmission information, signal or other data to such as AIU 120 nAnd so on the channel of AIU be called as the downing code flow channel.Also easy in order to reference, in communication channel such as AIU 120 nAnd so on AIU be used for transmission information, signal or other data and be called as up code stream channel to the channel of the headend unit such as headend unit 110.Certainly, these various up code streams may be identical physical channels with the downing code flow channel or may be other physical channel of branch, for example, and by the channel of time division multiplexing or frequency division multiplexing.Except up code stream and downing code flow direction, these various channels also may logically be divided otherwise.In a preferred embodiment, communication medium is a hfc plant, the up code stream channel of the downing code flow channel of general using 50-750MHz (reaching as high as 1GHz) frequency spectrum (frequency range) and general using 5-42MHz frequency spectrum.
In a kind of simple mode of exemplary hfc plant, the information that headend unit is utilized single downing code flow channel to send and comprised polling message is used to send information to headend unit to each MAC user and single up code stream channel by MAC user.Because headend unit is the device that only sends at the downing code flow channel, the downing code flow channel is not " shared channel " that defines according to the present invention.But because a plurality of MAC user sends on this up code stream channel, up code stream channel is a shared channel, and comes access channel in order with the MAC agreement, makes to obtain maximum data throughput by this channel.
Developed multiple different access technology for the user.Generally, these technology can be classified as: uncontested technology, and this technology is avoided conflict on shared channel by means of the various methods of presetting; With the competition technology is arranged, this technology does not avoid conflict, and replaces to eliminate any conflict appear on the shared channel.With being arranged, contention protocols compares with the uncontested agreement the cyclic polling agreement such as time division multiplexing (TDMA), general is inefficient under light load, because no matter whether MAC user has information to send, general uncontested agreement all will distribute the bandwidth of some to give each MAC user.On the other hand, those MAC users that have contention protocols only to distribute the bandwidth information of giving to send, though when requiring to manage conflict, some bandwidth has been wasted.Developed and utilized hybrid protocol uncontested and that have competition to insert, to attempt to obtain the advantage of two kinds of technology.
In many multiple access protocols, utilize some form of cyclic polling.In the cyclic polling technology, keep a MAC subscriber's meter and the MAC user on this table by order poll singly, provide each MAC user on shared channel, to send the chance of data.In direct cyclic polling, the chance that is linked into shared channel that each MAC user is provided equates no matter this MAC user is still " not positive " (that is, often not having data to send) of " positive " (that is, producing data) regularly.
Some cyclic polling agreement is attempted by the frequency that has data to send according to MAC user, each MAC user is divided into effectiveness and the efficient of improving poll in the difference tabulation.Generally " positive " MAC user is placed in " fast poll " table, and carried out poll with relative high frequency, and general " non-positive " MAC user is placed in " poll at a slow speed " table, and is carried out poll by relative low frequency.A kind of alternative method keeps " recently positive ", and MAC user (promptly, " not positive " but the MAC user of " actively " not long ago once recently) table, this MAC user is lower than the MAC user's frequency by quick polling list polling table, carries out poll but be higher than by the MAC user's of polling list polling table frequency at a slow speed.By by with have the frequency poll MAC user that the possibility that sends data is complementary, can improve bandwidth efficiency.
Hybrid protocol readvances step and utilize and to have competition to insert to substitute " not positive " MAC user's cyclic polling.Provide with other " not positive " MAC user for " not positive " MAC user and compete the chance that is linked in the shared channel.In this method, the independent polling message that does not have " not positive " the MAC user that data send is not wasted.
Utilize a problem of cyclic polling to be, each the MAC user on each polling list polling table is seen as to have equal priority and has been provided the access chance to shared channel that equates, even each MAC user has different priority.For example, " positive " the MAC user with time-sensitive data of a high priority by with " positive " with insensitive data of time of a low priority in a like fashion with the polled family of identical frequency.In this case, may be delayed from the MAC user's data of high priority, and be sent out from the data of low priority user.Obviously, only according to availability of data grouping MAC user and be not suitable for solving the problem of MAC user's transmission being carried out priority rating.Priori about the MAC User Priority can make polling sequence consider MAC user's priority.But general MAC User Priority is when MAC user enters system and do not know, and because MAC user serves by network insertion is different, priority may change along with the time.Therefore, still exist the time-sensitive in shared-media network is provided by the system of low access delay, the demand of apparatus and method of providing.

In the accompanying drawings,

Describe in detail
As mentioned above, still exist in the system of the low access delay that is provided for the time-sensitive application in the shared-media network, the demand of apparatus and method.The present invention divides into groups each MAC user for high priority bank and low priority group by headend unit, and this low access delay is provided.This headend unit is all high-priority MAC users of poll and poll low priority MAC user then at first, finishes or the serviced predetermined maximum poll time of low priority MAC user until all low priority MAC users are polled.This headend unit repeats this polling sequence in each polling cycle of order, be provided to the rapid access of shared channel for each high-priority MAC user.
In order to make headend unit divide into groups each MAC user for high priority bank and low priority group, headend unit must be able to be determined each MAC user's relative priority level.In some network, MAC user's priority can know in advance, for example, and configuration by the network manager or the regulation by the service type in ATM or other network.In other network, MAC user's priority is ignorant in advance, and in fact, because the terminal use by the network insertion different application, may change in time.In the network that the MAC User Priority can not clearly be known, headend unit must be determined MAC user's priority by other measure.
In the preferred embodiment, MAC user's priority is in advance ignorant and replaces to be that characteristic from the up code stream that this MAC user produces sends is inferred out.Headend unit monitors this MAC user's transmission and according to the size such as pulse train/packet that is sent by this MAC user, be included in the type of the packet of MAC user's transmission, the application that MAC user will visit and to those skilled in the art will be obvious some other parameters any one and so on the predefined parameter setting, determine this MAC user's delay requirement.Headend unit can utilize one or more parameters to determine MAC user's relative priority level, and can use different parameter settings to each MAC user.
In the preferred embodiment, MAC user's priority is only to infer from the size of the data set that sent by MAC user.Have been found that general time-sensitive, low postpone application produce little data set, and general insensitive application of time produces bigger data set.For example, generally in the shared-media network that transmits the TCP/IP business, the most up code stream business of using for TCP/IP will be the TCP acknowledgment data set, and this data set sends by up code stream channel, make TCP/IP professional mobile by the continuation of downing code flow channel.Generally, the application of Web roaming and recreation produces little data set in up code stream direction equally.These little data sets that send by up code stream channel are time-sensitives, because the delay in their transmission may cause the significant unacceptable performance of this application.On the other hand, the transmission of general up ASCII stream file ASCII will be to be feature with the big data set that sends by up code stream channel.It is insensitive that these big data sets that send by up code stream channel are considered to the time, because general delay in their transmission will be unnoticed.Although time-sensitive uses and to send little data set and insensitive application of time by up code stream channel to send big data set by up code stream channel always incorrect, the size of data set is used to a kind of hypothesis that the delay as this application requires also so MAC user is categorized as high priority or low priority by headend unit.
Because the data set that sends may change between each time sends, the preferred embodiment utilization is to the exponent-weighted average of the burst size of each MAC user's reception.When the pulse train by up code stream channel was received, headend unit was to each MAC user's gauge index weighted average.Have the MAC user that average data group size is lower than predetermined threshold data group size and be placed in the high priority bank, and residue MAC user is placed in the low priority group.MAC user's exponent-weighted average calculates according to following formula;
avg_packet_size=α *avg_packet_size+(1-α) *received_burst_size
Wherein α is that predetermined weight coefficient and received_burst_size are the sizes from the nearest pulse train that receives of MAC user.
Every next upstream bursts sends by when MAC user receives, and headend unit is upgraded the calculating of MAC user's average data group size and reclassified MAC user and is high priority bank or low priority group.Fig. 2 represents to be used to handle the logical flow chart that upstream bursts sends.Begin and the pulse train that receives from MAC user in step 220 sends in this logic of step 210, in the size of this logical renewal of step 230 from MAC user's average data group.Determine whether that in this logic of step 240 this average data group size is lower than the size of predetermined threshold data group then.If this MAC user's average data group size is lower than the size (in step 240 for "Yes") of predetermined threshold data group, then this MAC user of this logical division of step 250 in high priority bank; Otherwise this MAC user of this logical division of step 260 in the low priority group.This logic finishes in step 299.
Because the hypothesis that the delay about this MAC user requires has been represented in MAC user's classification, whether make effective classification for predetermined weight coefficient α and the selected value influence of predetermined threshold data group size.The selection of predetermined weight coefficient α is a kind of based on determining on the strategy, and expression is added in the relative situation that weighted sum on the pulse train of nearest reception is added in the weighting on the history average that calculates by each pulse train of past.In the preferred embodiment, this predetermined weight coefficient is selected as 0.5, and the weighting that this value is positioned at by the pulse train of nearest reception and history average equates.The selection of predetermined threshold data group size is based on observed traffic performance.In the preferred embodiment, this predetermined threshold size is chosen as 200 bytes.
Fig. 3 represents the logical flow chart of a polling cycle.Begin and advance to the next high-priority MAC user of poll in high priority cyclic polling table in the logic of each polling cycle of step 310 in step 320.Behind the poll MAC user, logic advances to 330 in step 320, determines whether all polled mistake of all high-priority MAC users during this polling cycle.If in all polled mistake of not all high-priority users during the polling cycle ("No" in step 330), then this logic turns back to step 320, the next high-priority MAC user of poll.But, if during this polling cycle all polled mistakes of all high-priority MAC users ("Yes" in step 330), then this logic advances to step 340, next the low priority MAC user of poll in low priority cyclic polling table.At step 340 poll behind the next low priority MAC user, determine whether all polled mistake of all low priority MAC users during this polling cycle in this logic of step 350.If all polled mistakes of all low priority MAC users ("Yes" in step 350) during this polling cycle, then this logic is returned new polling cycle of step 310 beginning.But, if during this polling cycle all polled mistake of not all low priority MAC user ("No" in step 350), then determine whether that in this logic of step 360 these low priorities MAC user has used up the predetermined maximum poll time.If the still unexhausted predetermined maximum poll time of these low priorities MAC user ("No" in step 360), then this logic is returned and is decreased the next low priority MAC user of step 340 poll.But if the predetermined maximum poll time reaches ("Yes" in step 360), then this logic is returned step 310, begins a new polling cycle.
If before all low priority MAC users of poll (promptly, reach the predetermined maximum poll time in step 360) headend unit finishes polling cycle, then during next polling cycle in step 340 to low priority MAC user's poll from table then last time last low priority MAC user that poll is crossed next low priority MAC user begin.As a result, each low priority MAC user can be recycled poll by several polling cycles.
Under the situation that does not break away from its spirit and essential characteristic, the present invention may be implemented within other specific forms.It is illustrative and not restrictive that described embodiment will be regarded as merely in all respects.
