Each access point, the base station is connected via a so-called backhaul link. In some cases, the direct connection of a particular Ap to the wired network (4) is such that it is more desirable to store the information in the adjacent APs by the towel and indirectly connect the Ap to The wired network. This is known as a kind of mesh architecture. In other cases, the use of a mesh architecture is easy to use and deploy because a wireless network does not have to provide a back-end connection for each Ap. In the context of a mesh system (e_xt), it is usually not necessary to request a measurement in a node for one-sided communication, and this is dark: the test request block and the measurement report (4) are not only nodes that need to be transmitted in detail. And is the inclusion of the measurement request/reporter in the mesh architecture, because the intermediate jump (_) of the blocked (10) intersection is recognized by the use of _: the situation of the thief destination node itself, so from the inclusion of the connection "The measurement of the source and destination _ (ie: path) is of importance, and 6 ^ 296547 is not limited to the measurement of only the destination node. [New content] This creation is about in an | ancient, - like architecture. Requests, reports, and receipts (4) (MPs) of the network ^ and closing test 1. The MPs are also requesting, reporting and collecting path-based measurements.

In order to transmit the measurement-hopping broadcast through the mesh network, and to transmit all the reachable intermediate points of the building, it is used to transmit a packet to a part of the destination node. It is possible to make it possible to reach the _ path in order to transmit the measurement request or report through the mesh network. Mesh measurement request: the field contains a mesh measurement please , including but not limited to: work) source address: 2) the target address (can be unicast, multicast or broadcast) · 3) next hop address (can be unicast, multicast or broadcast); 4) The maximum number of next hop addresses (applicable only to the next multicast case, M296547), to dominate - the intermediate MP can measure different nodes for the mesh; h: large:::= amount (eg node address) , channel load or similar parameters) · Condition) Similar to the door basis or other similar 7) measurement type (for example, based on the node as the path or related type), ,, soil, based, road 8 The second flag, the measurement request is based on the path of the target; the band 9) the type of measurement report; and the node that sent the target should receive π or 疋_ for it. The latter option, although it will be] two: , quantity, but he may be the better choice when the measurement request/report is used for the performance of the traffic control. The invention provides a kind of]V[PS for ★ main out basis measurement And the method of path basic measurement Y, the node of the report In a preferred embodiment, a <targeted unicast, destination group: lang-point based measurement request or a plurality of target nodes, broadcasts of these propagation purposes are transmitted to - broadcast, next hop Multicast lights—the use of hops through the hop-by-hop---the intermediate node receives the ::: and:: The road control.

The next hop multicast / Broadcasting 10 M296547 f month, the δH intermediate node will decrement one "the maximum amount of the next address, the value of a new value. This initial value is set by the #Μρ, (for example, a set of state values). If the decremented value is greater than zero, the intermediate node forwards the measurement request containing the new value through the multicast/broadcast of the next hop 2. Otherwise, the intermediate node will forward the measurement request using the unicast of the next hop. Once the measurement request is received by the target node, the target node fetches the measurement request and feeds the particular measurement report (4) to the source node using the source address specialized in the test advertisement. Depending on the type of the measurement, the target node may transmit a report by receiving a link to the measurement request or through a plurality of links. _ But when any volume report is received by any of the nodes, the intermediate node will relay the next hop. - The towel (four) point may be viewed through the contents of his measurement report. 1 and 2 are flow chart diagrams of internal Mp transmission signals according to the present invention, wherein "SA, representing the original source address, 叮8, representing the age 2 send Wei, and "RA" representing the reception Address, and "DA" represents the final fingerprint address.

Weiyi Hop Unicast ^: Figure 1 shows an exemplary communication system 100 including a plurality of nodes in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It is possible to include multiple MPs - including 删, Mp2, MP3 and MP4. MP1 is used as a source node, and Mp3 M296547 is used as an intermediate node, while MP4 is used as a final target node. As shown in Fig. 1, the destination node MP1 transmits a "destination node basis" measurement request information to the MP4 using the target unicast/next hop unicast addressing (step 1〇5), And the MP1 is transmitted through the MP2 Measurement request message to MP4 'to the MP4 standard is the address and the request for the measurement MP2 next hop address information (step 110). When the MP2 φ receives the measurement request information of the target node basis, the MP2 determines the next hop to the MP4 (step 115) and the MP2 transmits the destination node basis to the next hop (that is, the MP3). Measurement request information (step 120). When the MP3 receives the measurement request information of the target node basis, the MP3 determines the next hop to the MP4 (step 125) and the MP3 transmits the measurement request of the destination node basis to the next hop (ie, Mp4). Information (step 13〇). When the final destination node MP4 receives the measurement request information based on the destination node, if the measurement is not available, the measurement is processed (step 135) and then a measurement report information is transmitted through the MP3 to return to the Μρι ( Step 14〇), Μρι 疋 the address of the target and the MP3 is the next jump of the measurement report. When the MP3 receives the measurement report information, he decides the next jump to the Μρι (step 145) and the MP3 transmits the measurement report information to the next hop (i.e., MP2) (step 15A). When the Mp2 receives the test report, he decides the next jump to the MP1 (step I55) and transmits the measurement report information to the original purpose of the measurement request (i.e., MP1) (step, step 160). All information transmitted here is 12 M296547 transmitted using unicast information. The broadcast seek amount can be broadcasted/ broadcasted in the maximum number of the next-hop address.

The signal over-delivery and value-added reduction mechanism for the request/reporting __ information is one of the ideas of the present invention. As shown in Fig. 2, the signal of the dotted line is used to indicate that the information is and can be removed in the case where the MP receives the information but does not transfer it to the information transmitter again. For example, although the deletion is considered to be the next-jump-near node of the MP2, the Mp2 will transfer the signal back to the MP1® for the MP2 (4) MP1 to receive the information. In addition to this, when the 'MP receives from two different ones' information twice, the MP will only forward one message to its next hop neighbor. Figure 2 shows an exemplary communication system 2A comprising a plurality of nodes implemented in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

MP1 multicasts the measurement request Information, wherein the measurement request information is directly received by both MP3 (step 210A) and MP2 (step 210B). When the MP3 receives the measurement request information, the MP3 determines that it is the final destination node, and when the measurement result cannot be obtained, Implementing the requested measurement, and then sending back a measurement report message to MP1 (step 220). When MP2 calls to receive measurement request information, MP2 determines that it is not a final destination node itself, and determines "the maximum number of next hops, It is determined whether it is to continue to propagate information through the next hop multicast (step 225). When the maximum number of next hops is greater than zero, MP2 sends measurement request information through the next hop multicast, and the sent measurement request information is received by MP3 (step 23A), and optionally received by MP1 (step 230B) ). Alternatively, the MP2 forward proceeding ensures that MP2 does not send the measurement request information back to MP1 because MP2 receives the measurement request information from MP1. In any case, after the MP1 receives the measurement request information, the MP1 recognizes that the measurement request information is a copy of the transaction being changed by the source address and the transaction identifier and prevents any further multicasting of the information ( Step 235). When the MP3 receives the measurement request information of the forward version from the MP2, it selectively sends the corresponding measurement report information through Mp2 as requested (step 24). When MI>2 receives the measurement report information (step 245A), MP2 forwards it back to Μρι (step 245B). As shown in Figure 2, when using next hop multicast or broadcast, the same target node (e.g., MP3) may receive the same measurement of the same version 14 M296547 request. Similarly, when using next hop multicast or broadcast, the same source node (e.g., MP1) may receive multiple measurement reports (i.e., the same transaction ID) associated with the same measurement request. It is worth noting that this behavior may be ideal in the context of the source node wanting to explore the system to gain a deep understanding of the performance of the different related paths. In that context, each measurement request and the version of the measurement report will have a distinguishable identifier. In the case of a (four) implementation, this side identifier will be a path identifier, which is characterized by the continuity of the node identifier used, to carry the packet from the source to the destination, and optionally, ^ Send back to the source. In a preferred implementation, each node involved in the packet will be appended with its node identifier to path 1 such that the path identifier will be automatically established. The present invention includes a method by which multiple Mp requests, ports, and multi-hops are collected along a single or multiple MP paths. In the case of k, MP requests from all nodes to a specific target In this method, the next hop and destination address can be specified as unicast, multicast or broadcast. In a mesh network, an Mp can be measured by a plurality of MP request paths in a single-mesh path. From the source Ap to the target I MP 'all in this path will be required to send the measurement to the source node. Alternatively, the intermediate node can also view and use the measurements of other rivers in this path! Fig. 3 is a view showing a package (10) system in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The communication secret can be M296547 is a mesh network containing a plurality of MPs, wherein a plurality of Mps include MP1, MP2' MP3··· and MPr^MPl as a source node MP2 and MP3 as intermediate nodes, and MPn as A final destination node. As shown in FIG. 3, the source node 1 will send a multi-hop measurement request message on a path including one or more intermediate nodes MP2 and MP3 (that is, a mesh network). Give a final destination node, MPn. Based on the multi-hop measurement request information, all the spring points in the path will report the requested measurement to the source node, MP1, through the measurement report information. After receiving the measurement report information, the source node, Μρι will immediately collect the measurement information. MP1, MP2, MP3··· and MPn belong to the Π road position. The source lang point can be measured by the path of the Chinese medicine practitioner or multiple MPs. Alternatively, the intermediate node can also view and use measurements of other MPs on this path. Figure 4 illustrates a plurality of mesh paths, whereby a source node, Μρι, will send a path through a plurality of nodes MP2, MP3, MP4, and MP5 to provide a multi-hop measurement request message to a specific Destination node, Qing 5. In this scheme, the Mpi sends the measurement request information 1& and to the MP5, the measurement request information will be sent on a plurality of paths. When the MP4 receives the measurement request information la, it checks the next hop and destination address, and sends the measurement request information lb and 2b forward to MP3 and Mp5, respectively. The MP2 receives the measurement request information 3a, which checks the next hop and destination address' and transmits the measurement request information 3b to the MP5. When the MP3 receives the measurement request message lb, it checks the next hop and the destination address, and transmits the measurement request information lc to the MP5. 16 M296547 1 >

When the destination node, Mp5 receives the measurement request lc, 2b, and 3b, which responds to a measurement report message sent by the path, which includes its own measurement and the measurement of the gift and deletion. If the initial (10) path-based multiple hop measurement request is only for the discovery of miscellaneous (this can be overridden by the use of a flag in the letter request), each node can attach its own address instead of the additional The measurement request is sent to transmit the measurement report packet. Moreover, these letters can be used as a probe to measure - a specific path, end-to-end _ delay (that is, by time to mark the seal) the same concept can be applied to a centralized structure Among them, one of the points to the point is required to report all the way from the boundary of the source and the destination j; all the points on the ^. The measurement request information may be such that each Mps on a particular path containing MPn must report its measurement result to the source MP. This Maoyue package § Shaohui is used to report the measurement transmission mechanism and selection. This commemoration can be detailed on the _reporting option, including measurement request information that contains the requirement - a single heart: the face is more than the amount of copper. In each selection ^ each purpose MP sends its measurement report to the source. This will allow you to make more decisions and information. (d) This will lead to a very high increase in information transmission. Fig. 4 shows a package implemented in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The communication system can carry out a mesh network of MPs, wherein a plurality of MPs include 17 M296547 MP1, MP2, MP3, and MP4. MP1 is used as a source node, MP2 and MP3 are used as intermediate nodes, and MP4 is used as a final destination node. As shown in Fig. 5, the source node "^ will send a measurement request message to the MP2 (step 505). When the MP2 receives the measurement request information, the MP2 forwards the measurement report information to the next hop, also It is Mp3 (step 510), and when the measurement result cannot be obtained, the measurement is performed (step 515), and then a received measurement report information is sent back to MP1 (step 52A). When _MP3 receives the measurement request information, Mp3 will The measurement report information is forwarded to the next hop, that is, MP4 (step 525), and when the measurement result is not available, the measurement is performed (step 53A), and then a received measurement report information is sent back to the MP1 along with a destination address. The measurement report is received by Mp2 (step 535), which is then forwarded to its destination (ρι (step 540). When the final destination node, Mp4, receives the measurement report information, when the measurement result is not available MP4 performs the measurement (step 545), and then sends a received measurement report information together with a destination address to _MP1 〇 MP3 to initially receive the measurement report (step 55 〇), which is then Pre-delivery to MP2 (step 555), and MP2 forwards it to its destination MP1 (step 560). Therefore, each Mp, including the final destination node MP4', does not wait for a response from the next hop mps, Send its own measurement report information to the source MP, MP1. This concept can be applied to measurement report options, including measurement request information, periodic measurement report or threshold measurement report. There is a one-to-one correlation between a measurement request message and a measurement report. However, it can be sent out to measure 18 M296547 «

However, this method is disadvantageous because this method increases the delay at each node and the measurement report information must go through the same route back to the source node, Μρι. Figure 6 presents an exemplary communication system 600 implemented in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the communication system 600 including a plurality of nodes. The system 600 can be a mesh architecture including a plurality of MPs including MP1, MP2, MP3, and MP4. MP1 is the _ source node, MP2 ’ MP3 is used as the intermediate node, and ]VIP4 is the final destination node. As shown in Fig. 6, MP1 transmits a measurement request message to Mp2 (step 605). When the MP2 receives the measurement request information, the MP2 transfers the measurement request information to the MP3 (step 610), and processes the measurement (step 615). When the MP3 receives the measurement request information, the MP3 transfers the measurement request information to the MP4 (step 620) and processes the measurement (step 625). When the destination MP, MP4, receives the measurement request information, the destination MP will process the measurement (step 630) and return a measurement report message containing its own measurements (step 635). On the way back to the source MP, ie MP1, the 19 M296547 intermediate node MPs' ie MP2 and MP3 will piggyback their own measurements (ie combine) on the measurement report information and send them back to the source Mp , and MP1 (step 64〇, 645,650, 655). The concept that can be used in the selection of measurement reports includes having multiple Mps, which can report the information on one side of the MP or can piggyback this report on other data, control or management frames. Each purpose will pass all of its measurements to the measurement request information before passing the measurement request information to the next MP until the final destination node. When the final destination node receives the measurement request information, it will send its own measurements plus the measurements of all other nodes in the measurement report information. Compared with Option 1, this method reduces the redundant operation of signal transmission, and unlike Option 2, this method allows the measurement report information to be sent through a different path than the measurement request. However, still on the intermediate node There is a redundant operation of this process. - Figure 7 presents an exemplary communication system 700 implemented in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the communication system 700 comprising a plurality of nodes. The communication system 700 can be an a plurality of MP network architectures, the plurality of MPs including MP1, MP2, MP3, and MP4. MP1 is a source node, MP2, MP3 is used as an intermediate node, and MP4 is used as a final destination node. As shown in FIG. The MP1 sends a measurement request message to (step 705). When the MP2 receives the measurement request information, the Mp2 processes the information (step 710) and attaches a plurality of measurement results to one to be transmitted to the MP3. Measurement request information (step 72〇). Indirect points in each of the roads, ie ΜΡ2, MP3, take its own measurement back 20 M296547 to ehai, and ask for information. Purpose, MP4 (steps 71〇, 72(), 725, 73〇, 735). The final destination, ie MP4, processes the measurement (step 74〇), combining its own measurements and all the measurements received by the a measurement report information, which is transmitted back to the source MP, ie, MP1, through the intermediate nodes MPs, namely Mp2 and Mp3 (step states, 〇, 755 and 760). Figure 8 shows _ An exemplary block diagram of an MP 800 for implementing various preferred embodiments of the present invention. The Mp8 can be configured as a wireless MP as shown in Figure 8, or a limited Mp. The sniper includes the processor 8: , the receiver 810, the transmitter 815, the measuring unit 820, for storing the storage, the storage of $ 825, and the antenna 83. The processor 8〇5, the receiving is 810 'transmitting 81s, the measuring unit 82〇 and memory milk can be integrated in a 1C. In an embodiment of the system 5 that applies MP_ in Figure 5, an H 810 receive-measurement request is received (if Na_ is not the source MP of the start measurement request, for example Figure 5 of the system, Μρι). In response to receiving the measurement request, the transmitter 815 The measurement request is forwarded to the next section MP (if this MP is not the final destination layer, such as MP4 in system 5 of Figure 5), and if the measurement result of the memory, the towel is not valid, the measurement unit 820 processes Measurements. Examples of these measurements include 'but are not limited to, channel load, noise histogram, signal to interference ratio (s), receiver power indicator or the like. Measurement unit 82 or save cry 820 will measure To the processor 8〇5, the processor 〇5 generates a = measurement report information, which is sent by the transmitter 815 and the antenna M296547 833 to the source Mp that initiated the measurement request. In another embodiment in which the MP 800 is applied to the system 6 of Figure 6, the receiver 810 receives a measurement request (if River 1 > 8 〇 () is not the source MP for initiating the test, for example, Figure 6. The system is 6 〇〇 MP1).
