Technical field
The present invention relates to the transmission technology of wireless lan (wlan), be meant a kind of method that in the wlan system of 802.11 series, improves network transmission efficiency especially.
Background technology
WLAN (wireless local area network) is meant with wireless mediums such as radio wave, laser, infrared rays and replaces the part or all of transmission medium in the cable LAN and the network that constitutes.It not only can be used as replenishing of wired data communication and extends, but also can backup each other with cable network environment.
802.11 agreement, bluetooth standard and HomeRF industrial standard are topmost in all standards of WLAN (wireless local area network), they respectively have quality, be fit to different applications, what have is suitable for working environment, the individual that is suitable for who has uses, what have is then praised highly by the domestic consumer always, and the application mainly is the WLAN (wireless local area network) at 802.11 series.
802.11 agreement is a WLAN standard of the initial formulation of IEEE, is used for solving the wireless access of office's local area network (LAN) and campus network user and user terminal, mainly is limited to data access, speed is the highest can only to reach 2Mbps.Because it all can not satisfy people's needs on speed and transmission range, therefore, Institute of Electrical and Electric Engineers (IEEE) released one after another again subsequently 802.11b and 802.11a standard, in November calendar year 2001, the 802.11g standard emerged already.From practical application, 802.11b has become the mainstream standard of WLAN, is adopted by most manufacturer.
IEEE 802.11 topological structures are made of many assemblies, and they interact provides a WLAN (wireless local area network), 802.11 standards to support following two kinds of topological structures:
A kind of is independent basic service set sign (IBSS), and as shown in Figure 1, IBSS network 100 is independently BSS, does not have maincenter link basis structure, comprises two website: A stations and B station at least, and dotted line is represented the propagation border of single sub-district among the figure.Because it does not need too many planning just to be set up fast, so this class network usually is called as special network (ad hoc network), special network can satisfy substantially controls one than the zonule, need as the user in a room.
Another kind is an extended service set, for satisfying the demand of crossing over the restriction of IBSS scope, can adopt ESS LAN, and a WLAN comprises a plurality of sub-districts (Cell).Figure 2 shows that a kind of practical application structure of ESS network, this WLAN comprises two sub-districts, that is: the scope that covers of the scope that covers of BSS1 and BSS2, BSS1 and BSS2 interconnect by access point AP1 and AP2 and a distributed system respectively, and this distributed system can be an Ethernet.The configuration of this ESS network can be satisfied the needs of the overlay network on a large scale that size is any, complexity is high.

Table five
In present bus-type local area network (LAN), the MAC layer uses standard agreement CSMA/CD, be carrier sense multiple spot access/collision detection (Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection), but whether there is conflict owing in WLAN (wireless local area network), be difficult for detecting channel, therefore, 802.11 serial WLAN (wireless local area network) adopts new agreement CSMA/CA, be that the carrier sense multiple spot inserts/avoid collision (Carrier SenseMultiple Access with collision Avoidance), this party to the agreement's face is finished carrier sense, checks promptly whether medium is idle; Realize on the other hand avoiding colliding, promptly pass through time waiting at random, make the probability that signal conflict takes place reduce to minimum, when medium is listened to the free time, preferentially send.Moreover, more firm for system, 802.11 also provide the CSMA/CA of band acknowledgement frame ACK, in case current demand signal suffers other noise jamming or intercepts when failing, just signal conflict may take place, the CSMA/CA that work in the band ACK of MAC layer this moment just can provide fast restoration capabilities.

In such cases, need indicate in the Frame of control frame Control is to start to send the multiplex/demultiplex bag, still stops to send the multiplex/demultiplex bag.When STA has been in the multiplex/demultiplex state with relevant AP,, receive that Start SendMulti-Frame message then is used as invalid message and handles if receive Stop Send Multi-Frame message then stop the multiplex/demultiplex operation; Equally, close the multiplex/demultiplex state,, then be used as invalid message and handle if receive Stop Send Multi-Frame message if receive Start Send Multi-Frame message then start multiplex/demultiplex operation when STA has been in relevant AP.At this moment, Duration does not use, zero setting; RA is the broadcasting group number that is in the AP or the STA of bridge joint mode; BSSID is bridge joint AP or the STA that comprises among the AP of base station; FCS still represents Frame Check Sequence.
On the basis of above-mentioned Frame and control frame setting, the process of bag multiplex/demultiplex of the present invention specifically comprises the steps: as shown in Figure 5
Step 501~504: when a pair of wlan device will adopt the transmission of bag multiplex/demultiplex, transmitting terminal is determined current all the multiplexing bags of wanting, judge that according to the length of each bag it still is the different length bag that these bags belong to the equal length bag, if equal length bag, then current bag is multiplexed with the equal length cladding and uses, form shown in the employing table seven is inserted the relevant information of multiplexing bag in Frame Body field, that is: multiplexing bag number, indicate the identical sign of each packet length, the length of each bag and priority, and the actual transmissions content of each multiplexing bag is inserted in proper order in the Multi-Frame Body territory of Frame Body field, the type of current multiplexing bag is inserted in the subtype territory of Frame Frame Control field simultaneously.
If different length bag, then current bag is multiplexed with the different length cladding and uses, form shown in the employing table ten is inserted the relevant information of multiplexing bag in Frame Body field, that is: multiplexing bag number, indication packet length different sign and priority, and length, the type of the actual transmissions content of all multiplexing bags and this bag inserted in the Multi-Frame Body territory of Frame Body field in proper order by the form shown in the table ten one, the type of current multiplexing bag is inserted in the subtype territory of Frame Frame Control field simultaneously.
Step 505: transmitting terminal is sent to receiving terminal with multiplexing good cladding with Frame.
Step 506~509: after receiving terminal is received a Frame, judge according to the subtype thresholding of Frame Control field in this Frame whether present frame is the bag multiplexed frame, if the subtype thresholding equals one in the table six, represent that then present frame is the bag multiplexed frame, again according to cladding information relevant in the Frame Body field, judgement is that the cladding of equal length is used or the cladding usefulness of different length, carries out corresponding de-multiplex operation then and handles; If the subtype thresholding equals one in the table five, then present frame is not the bag multiplexed frame, then continues subsequent operation by normal data frame processing method in the prior art.
Certainly, transmitting terminal also can utilize control frame to notify the start and stop of receiving terminal cladding usefulness, in such cases, before step 506, transmitting terminal can send one to receiving terminal and have the control frame that starts transmission multiplex/demultiplex frame information, after receiving terminal is received this control frame, promptly Frame is thereafter handled by multiplexing bag, equally according to cladding information relevant in the Frame Body field, judgement is that the cladding of equal length is used or the cladding usefulness of different length, carries out corresponding de-multiplex operation then.Have when stopping to send the control frame of multiplex/demultiplex frame information when transmitting terminal sends one to receiving terminal again, receiving terminal then stops the processing operation to the bag multiplexed frame.
For multiplexing control, can preestablish the number of each multiplexing bag, when the current determined number of wanting multiplexing bag arrives predefined fixed number, just determinedly will multiplexing bag carry out multiplexingly to these, generate a cladding Frame; Perhaps preestablish a time period, to want multiplexing bag to carry out multiplexing for all that should receive in the time period at every turn, generates a cladding Frame; Also both can be used in combination.
Experiment shows, on the basis of 802.11b, adopt multiplex/demultiplex mechanism of the present invention after, handle parcel between a pair of wlan device, the performance that promptly is not more than the 500bytes bag has improved 2~5 times.
In actual applications; said method also goes for multiplexing to larger-size bag, that is: the byte number of each multiplexing bag is not necessarily less than 500, in a word the above; being preferred embodiment of the present invention only, is not to be used to limit protection scope of the present invention.
