Definitions
- the present invention relates to a wireless LAN communication system, and more particularly to a communication priority control in a wireless LAN communication system using a CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access) method.
- CSMA Carrier Sense Multiple Access
- a terminal (generally, a node) that wants to transmit data checks whether the base station is currently communicating with another terminal, and if so, waits until it ends, and ends communication. For example, each terminal that wants to transmit starts data transmission. At this time, every terminal has the right to transmit equally. If multiple terminals start transmitting almost simultaneously, the transmitted data will collide at the base station. For this reason, the transmitting terminal monitors the communication status at the base station at the same time as transmitting the signal. If data is lost due to collision, the transmitting terminal immediately transmits a jamming signal for a certain period of time and then stops transmitting. The jamming signal is a special signal for ensuring collision detection. The terminal trying to transmit then waits for a "random" time and tries again. If a collision occurs even after the retransmission has been performed a predetermined number of times, the transmission is considered to have failed and the retry in the upper layer is left.
- EDCF Extended Distribution Coordination Function
- This is an enhancement of DCF to perform priority control.
- the priority of the communication is set for each queue allocated according to the priority, and virtual CSMA / CA (carrier sense multiple access / collision avoidance method) is performed between the queues.

- the QoS (communication quality control) parameters are fixed values. Also, it does not consider the destination. For this reason, for example, when a specific terminal among a plurality of terminals in a communication area of one base station frequently transmits data with a large amount of information, the terminal exclusively uses the base station. However, there has been a problem that a situation in which other terminals cannot perform communication continues, and dynamic control for smoothly performing communication according to the situation cannot be performed.
- the present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems.
- a wireless LAN communication system based on the CSMA method generally, the priority of communication is dynamically changed according to the communication status and the intention of the communication management side.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a wireless LAN communication system capable of performing smoother communication according to a situation. Disclosure of the invention
- the present invention is a wireless LAN communication system based on the CSMA system including a base station and a plurality of terminals, wherein the base station transmits data to be transmitted to each terminal to voice data and normal data for each terminal.

- a communication quality control parameter setting function for setting the communication quality control parameters for the normal data transmission queue and the voice data transmission queue, respectively.
- a transmission / reception unit for transmitting the normal data transmission queue and the voice data transmission queue, and receiving from the terminals described above.
- Receiving obtaining uplink communication traffic information from the received data was A data detection function, and a communication quality control parameter control function for dynamically adjusting respective communication quality control parameters of the communication quality control parameter setting function based on the downlink and uplink communication traffic information.

- F13 is the transmission rate coefficient shown in Fig. 13. Show the table.
- Fig. 18 shows a flowchart for uplink data traffic control
- Fig. 19 shows a flowchart for downlink data traffic control.
- the number of active terminals during data communication among the association terminals at the base station AP is indicated by FWA terminal (terminal FWA), NWA terminal (terminal NWA), FWA -Detect for each VoIP terminal (one of the FWA terminals that performs VoIP data communication) and update the active terminal number table shown in Fig. 5 (step S11).
- the respective QoS parameters (CWmin, CWmax, AIFS) of the corresponding normal data and VoIP data are determined from the QoS parameter table shown in FIG. 10 (step S1). 2).
- the coefficient corresponding to the uplink transmission rate (54 Mbps to 6 Mbps) is multiplied by the CWmin value (step S13). Also, according to the instruction from the NMS, the individual traffic control coefficient is multiplied by the CWinin value based on the terminal individual traffic control table shown in FIG. 11 (step S14). Then, the QoS parameters are notified to each terminal (FWA, NWA, FWA-VoIP) by the extended beacon EB (step S15).
- each terminal transmits uplink data based on the QoS parameter received by extended beacon EB.
- VoIP data is stored in the VoIP (priority) data transmission queue (20
- Step S16 Data that overflows each data transmission queue is discarded.
- the base station AP calculates the number of active terminals during data communication from among the association terminals as FWA terminals (terminals).
- FWA FWA
- NWA NWA
- FWA-VoIP terminals ones that communicate VoIP data among FWA terminals
- the active terminal number table shown in Fig. 5 step S2 1).
- the corresponding QoS parameters (CWmin, CWmax, AIFS) of the corresponding normal data and VoIP data are determined from the QoS parameter table shown in FIG. 10 (step S2). 2).
- the CWmin value is multiplied by a coefficient corresponding to the downlink transmission rate (54 Mbps to 6 Mbps) (step S23). Also, the weight of the round mouth bin according to the individual traffic control coefficient is determined based on the terminal individual traffic control table shown in FIGS. 11 and 12 created by the instruction from the NMS (step S24). .
- the downlink data is transmitted in a round robin manner via the transmission queue (105, 113) of each terminal.
- the VoIP data passes through the VoIP (priority) data transmission queue (107, 115).
- the data overflowing each data transmission queue is discarded (step S25).
- a wireless LAN communication system based on the CSMA system including a base station and a plurality of terminals, wherein the base station transmits data to be transmitted to each terminal to voice data and normal data for each terminal.
- a data classification function that classifies the data into data and generates communication traffic information of the downstream data, and queues the data classified by the data classification function to transmit a normal data transmission queue and a voice data transmission queue.
- a communication quality control parameter setting function for individually setting communication quality control parameters for the normal data transmission queue and the voice data transmission queue, and a transmission quality control parameter according to the communication quality control parameter for transmission.
- a transmission / reception unit that transmits a transmission queue for normal data and a transmission queue for voice data, and receives data from each terminal described above.
- Receiving obtaining uplink communication traffic information from the received data was A wireless LAN communication comprising: a data detection function; and a communication quality control parameter control function for dynamically adjusting respective communication quality control parameters of the communication quality control parameter setting function based on the downlink and uplink communication traffic information. Since the system is used, it is possible to provide a wireless LAN communication system capable of performing smoother communication according to the situation by dynamically changing the communication priority according to the communication situation and the like.
- the present invention is applicable to wireless LAN communication systems in many fields.
