Description
More particularly, the present invention relates to a wireless network system and a TVWS-based channel reassignment method using the same, and more particularly, to a wireless network system in which when a self network network is constructed using TVWS (TV White Space) And a TVWS-based channel reallocation method using the same.
In the year 2013, analog TV broadcasting is stopped completely and converted to digital broadcasting. At the same time, TVWS (TV White Space) band of 6MHz unit which is not used for each region is generated to prevent confusion between broadcasting channels. The government's policy of using it was announced.
Here, the TVWS band includes a UHF (Ultra High Frequency) band and a VHF (very high frequency) band as frequencies allocated for TV broadcasting and does not interfere with communication of a licensed device operating in the corresponding frequency band Means the frequency band for which the license-exempt device is authorized under the conditions. That is, an available channel or a device operating as an unlicensed device in an available frequency band may be used in the frequency band in which the license apparatus is not in use. Here, the license device may be a TV, a wireless microphone, etc., and the license device may also be referred to as a licensed user, an incumbent user, or a primary user.
License-exempt devices that wish to use such TVWS bands should provide protection for licensed devices. Therefore, the license-exempt device must check whether the licenser is occupying the band to obtain available channel information before starting transmission of the signal in the TVWS band.
Also, as data communication using the 470 ~ 698MHz band becomes possible, this frequency band is superior to the 2.4GHz band, which is the existing ISM band, and is capable of communication up to 1 Km at a transmission speed of about 1 Mbps, The international standard IEEE 802.15.4m was also announced in 2014.
The IEEE 802.15.4m standard is designed to enable network expansion through a plurality of channels in one PAN (Personal Area Network) by using TVWS Multichannel Cluster Tree PAN (TMCTP).
Therefore, the independent PAN is designed to support wireless communication and power save function according to TVWS superframe while using different channels by extending to cluster PAN through one SPC (Spuer PAN Coordinator).
However, in the past, when the channel is allocated from the SPC, the wireless network can not be changed, and if the wireless environment of the channel is complicated due to various reasons such as interference with other wireless devices, maintenance of the wireless network is not stable.
The technique of the present invention is disclosed in Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 10-2013-0118882 (published on Mar. 10, 2013).
It is an object of the present invention to provide a wireless network system for reallocating a channel according to a wireless environment when a self network is constructed and used using a TVWS band, And a TVWS-based channel reallocation method.

In addition, the upper concentrator further includes a step of determining whether the sub-PAN including the sub-concentrator requesting the channel reallocation is a region in which the TVWS modem is installed, with reference to the previously stored geographic location database.
Also, the sub-concentrator scans the channels included in the idle channel list to acquire the candidate channel information in the order of the lowest energy level.
The network information may include at least one of a number of hops between the lower concentrator and the upper concentrator, a number of end devices connected to the lower concentrator, and a radio environment congestion of a previously allocated channel.
In addition, the priority determining algorithm may be configured such that, when a plurality of sub-concentrators are requested to allocate the same first idle channel, the number of hops, the number of end devices is large, It is possible to preferentially select a sub-concentrator having a high radio environment congestion or a low radio environment congestion when the first idle channel is used.
In addition, the idle channel of the next rank among the candidate channels received from the subordinate concentrator may be reallocated to the subordinate concentrator not reallocated to the first idle channel.
Also, a wireless network system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a main PAN, which includes an upper concentrator and is connected to a management server through a network; And a plurality of sub-PANs including a sub-concentrator and a plurality of end devices connected to the sub-concentrator, the plurality of sub-PANs communicating with the main PAN through a pre-assigned channel, The base station transmits the available idle channel list to the subordinate concentrator, receives candidate channel information and network information to be allocated from the subordinate concentrator when the channel reallocation is requested, And may reallocate the selected idle channel to the sub-concentrator according to a prioritization algorithm.
The wireless network system and the TVWS-based channel reallocation method using the same according to the present invention can be applied to various types of wireless networks such as a wireless network, which is allocated from a Super PAN Coordinator (SPC) If the wireless environment of the channel is complicated and the network is difficult to maintain, it is possible to increase the stability of the network wireless environment by reallocating a new channel according to the wireless environment.
In addition, the present invention can support a wireless communication and a power saving function in accordance with a TVWS superframe while an independent PAN (Personal Area Network) is extended to a cluster PAN through one SPC to use different channels.
