Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a broadcast transmission system for a local area network (LAN), and more particularly to a delivery confirmation system for broadcast transmission. [0002] In a network composed of a plurality of stations, when data is transmitted from one station to all other stations,
Broadcast transmission is used. Also, to confirm that the data has arrived at the partner station,
Individual transmission must be performed in order for each station to confirm delivery. [0003] When data is transmitted from a master station on a transmission path to all other slave stations and it is desired to confirm that the data has reached all the partner stations as slave stations, generally, as shown in FIG. As shown, the data transmitting station 1 performs data transmission of the data signal S0 to the data receiving stations 2, 3, and 4 by broadcast transmission. The stations 2, 3, and 4 receiving the data transmit the acknowledgment (ACK) signals ACK2, ACK3, and AC in the individual transmission.
K4 is transmitted to the station 1. The station 1 determines that the transmission has been successful because the acknowledgments have been returned from all the stations. here,
If the station 1 cannot correctly receive any of the acknowledgment signals ACK2, ACK3, and ACK4, the station 1 detects a timeout and retransmits data. Stations 2, 3, 4
Means that if retransmission data has already been received, when retransmission data is received again, it is discarded and only an acknowledgment signal is transmitted to the station 1. The above-described processing is continued until the station 1 receives the acknowledgment from all the stations or until the number of retransmissions is reached. [0004] When the number of stations on the transmission line is small, the above method does not pose any problem. However, when the number of stations is large, the station 1 must collectively receive delivery confirmations from all stations. , The load factor increases, and the possibility of missing the delivery confirmation increases. Therefore, the station 1 retransmits data many times, which is inefficient. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and has as its object to provide broadcast transmission acknowledgment capable of efficiently transmitting and receiving acknowledgments even when the number of stations connected to a transmission line is large. Is to provide a scheme. [0006] In order to achieve the above object, a delivery confirmation method for broadcast transmission according to the present invention comprises:
Transmits the data broadcast data receiving station from the data transmission station, the data receiving station in the delivery confirmation system for transmitting the acknowledgment signal confirming that the data has been delivered to the data transmission station in a separate transmission, transmission the data
Send data from the receiving station to the transmitting station for the data transmitted by the transmitting station
Determine whether the transmitting station has received the acknowledgment signal
Preparing the delivery confirmation received information,
When a delivery confirmation signal is received from the data receiving station, delivery confirmation is received.
Set the received information of the receiving station to the received information
However, within the limits of data retransmission,
The acknowledgment received information is received until the acknowledgment signal is received.
The data receiving station retransmits the data to which the data has been added, and the data receiving station has received the data transmitted from the data transmitting station.
Is received, and if not received,
And sends an acknowledgment signal to the data transmitting station.
And if the data has already been received,
First, without transmitting the acknowledgment signal back to the data transmitting station when the data is received information of its own station received a is and the acknowledgment received information is set, de
Acknowledgment signal when over data is received information of its own station received a is and the acknowledgment completion information is not set
And transmitting a signal to the data transmitting station. In the transmission method for confirming the delivery by broadcast transmission, the data transmitting station transmits data by broadcast. The data receiving station transmits the acknowledgment to the data transmitting station by individual transmission. At the time of data retransmission, the acknowledgment received information is added. The retransmission data receiving station does not transmit the acknowledgment if the acknowledgment received information in the retransmission data receiving station indicates that the acknowledgment has already been received. Similarly, a station whose own information has not been set in the acknowledgment received information transmits an acknowledgment. The data transmitting station repeats data retransmission until all stations have confirmed delivery. An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. FIGS. 1 and 2 are schematic diagrams of a delivery confirmation system according to an embodiment of the present invention. 1 and 2, the same or equivalent members as those in FIG. 5 are denoted by the same reference numerals. As shown in FIG. 2, the transmission data S1 from the data transmission station 1
, The data receiving stations 2, 3, and 4 transmit acknowledgment signals ACK2, ACK3, and ACK4 to the data transmitting station 1, but the acknowledgment signal ACK4 of the data receiving station 4 did not reach the data transmitting station 1. In that case, as shown in FIG.
The station 1 retransmits the data SD. At this time, information ACK5 indicating that the acknowledgment signals ACK2 and ACK3 from the stations 2 and 3 have already been received is added. After confirming this, the stations 2 and 3 do not confirm the delivery because they have found that the delivery confirmation signal of their own station has reached the station 1. The station 4 transmits the acknowledgment signal ACK6 to the station 1 because it has been found that the acknowledgment signal ACK4 of the station 4 has not reached the station 1. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the operation of the data transmitting station 1, and FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the operation of the data receiving stations 2, 3, and 4.
FIG. 3 is a flowchart of the data transmission processing operation of the station 1. As shown in FIG. 3, upon transmission by the station 1, in step S1, the acknowledgment ACK flags are cleared for all stations, and the process proceeds to step S2, where the retransmission counter is set to zero. Step S
In step 3, a timeout timer is started, and the process proceeds to step S4 to transmit data. At this time, the ACK flags are all zero. Proceeding to step S5, it is determined whether a timeout has occurred. If a timeout has occurred in step S5, the flow proceeds to step S7, where the retransmission counter is incremented, and the flow proceeds to step S8. In step S8, it is determined whether or not the retransmission counter is up. If it is not up, the process proceeds to step S9, a time-out timer is started, and the process proceeds to step S10. In step S10, data retransmission is performed.
At this time, a delivery confirmation ACK flag is added. Step S
If the retransmission counter is up in step 8, error processing is executed. If the timeout has not occurred in step S5, the process proceeds to step S6, and if the ACK has been received , the process proceeds to step 12, the ACK flag of the station is incremented, and the process proceeds to step S13. In step 13, it is determined whether or not all the stations have received the data. If the data has been received, the process proceeds to step S14 to complete the process. FIG. 4 shows the data reception processing operation of the stations 2, 3, and 4, for example, the data reception processing of the station 2. When the station 2 receives the data, it determines in step S15 whether or not the data is already received. If not, the process proceeds to step S16 to save the received data. Next, the process proceeds to step S17, where an acknowledgment (ACK) signal is transmitted.
If it is determined in step S15 that the data has been received from the station 1, the flow advances to step S18 to determine whether or not the flag of the acknowledgment signal ACK of the own station is "1". If the flag is "1", the operation is terminated, and if the flag is not "1", the process proceeds to step S17. As described above, when the station 1 cannot receive the acknowledgments from all the stations, it performs retransmission processing, and the other stations transmit the acknowledgments to the station 1 again. In order to reduce the load of the acknowledgment receiving process of the station 1, it is sufficient that the station that has received the retransmission data does not send the acknowledgment. However, if it is not confirmed that the acknowledgment has arrived correctly at the station 1, the transmission efficiency is reduced. Therefore, when the station 1 transmits data, the station number that has already received the delivery confirmation is added. According to the present invention, as described above, the data transmitting station adds the acknowledgment received information at the time of data retransmission, and the data receiving station sets the acknowledgment received information. Is not transmitted again to the data transmitting station when it is present, and when the received information of the own station is not set in the transmission confirmed information, the transmission confirmation is transmitted to the data transmitting station. Even when the number of stations connected to the transmission path is large, there is no need to perform useless transmission confirmation transmission / reception processing, and transmission confirmation can be transmitted / received efficiently.
