Description

无线局域网中的传输方法和装置 技术领域 本发明涉及通信领域, 具体而言, 涉及一种无线局域网中的传输方法和装 置。 背景技术 目前, 在无线网络领 i或, 无线局 i或网 (Wireless Local Area Network, 简称 WLAN )快速发展, WLAN覆盖需求日益增长。 电气和电子工程师协会工业规 范 IEEE802. il工作组先后定义了 802.11a, 802.11b, 802. llg等一系列 WLAN 技术标准, 随后又陆续出现了其他任务组, 致力于发展涉及现有 802.11技术改 进的规范, 例如, 802.11η任务组提出高吞吐量 (High throughput,简称 HT ) 的 要求, 支持高达 600Mbps的数据速。 作为 802.11η的演进, 802.11ac任务组进 一步提出 VHT ( Very High throughput, 超高吞吐量) 的概念, 将数据速率提升 到 lGbps„ 新的协议需要后向兼容现有协议。
802.11 中, 一个接入站点 (Access Point, 简称 AP ) 以及与 AP相关联的 多个非接入站点( Station,简称 STA )组成了一个基本月艮务集( Basic Service Set, 简称 BSS )。 802.11 定义了两种操作模式: 分布式协调功能 (Distributed Coordination Function , 简称 DCF )和点十办调功能 ( Point Coordination Function , 简称 PCF ), 以及针对这两种操作模式的改进: 增强型分布式协调访问功能 ( Enhanced Distributed Channel Access , 简称 EDC A )和混合协调功能控制信道 访问功能 ( Hybrid Coordination Function Controlled Channel Access , 简称 HCCA )。
802.11协议中定义了频率规划类的概念, 每个频率规划类拥有一个序号, 对应一组针对无线设备的操作规则, 例如信道带宽、 信道行为限制、 信道起始 频点、 信道集合等等。 随着 802.11协议的演进, 传统的 20MHz信道带宽已经 扩展为 40MHz、 80MHz、 120MHz,甚至 160MHz,这些大带宽是由若千个 20MHz 绑定形成的,这里称 20MHz信道是一个基本信道。大带宽时,其中一个 20MHz 信道称为主信道或第一信道, 其他 20MHz信道称为辅信道或第二信道, 第三 信道, 依次类推。 这样, 在 5GHz频谱上, 大带宽由非重叠 (non-overlapping ) 的多个 20MHz信道组成。才艮据现有技术中的信道化方法, 160MHz信道由相邻 或不相邻的两个 80MHz信道组成, 每个 80MHz信道由相邻的两个 40MHz信 道组成, 每个 40MHz信道由相邻的两个 20MHz信道组成。 大带宽系统中各种 不同带宽信道的组成示例如图 1所示。 其中, 在 5.725GHz至 5.850GHz频段, 存在两种信道化方法: 当中心频点从 5.745GHz 开始, 按照每个信道带宽为 20MHz划分时, 该频段内存在 5个 20MHz的互不交叠的信道, 最大信道带宽 为 80MHz; 如果将上述每个中心频点向氐频点方向偏移 7.5MHz时, 该频段内 将产生 6个互不交叠的 20MHz信道, 最大信道带宽为 120MHz, 上述两种信道 化方法的示意图如图 2所示。 以下, 称前一信道化方法所形成的信道为第一信 道集合, 称后一信道化方法所形成的信道为第二信道集合。 才艮据现有技术, 在 5.725GHz至 5.850GHz频段内, 802.11η设备仅工作在 第一信道集合上, 工作带宽为 20/40ΜΗΖ; 不支持第二信道集合的 802.11ac设 备仅工作在第一信道集合上, 工作带宽为 20/40/80MHZ; 支持第二信道集合的 802.1 lac设备可以选择工作在第一或第二信道集合上, 当工作在第二信道集合 上时, 工作带宽为 20/40/80/120MHz。 然而, 发明人发现在现有技术中如果一个支持第二信道集合的 802.1 lac的
AP在第二信道集合上开始一个 BSS , 则只有支持第二信道集合的 STA能够扫 描到 AP的工作频点并完成接入, 而不支持第二信道集合的 802.11ac的 STA和 802.11η的 STA ^!夺无法接入, 从而造成 802.11ac系统无法后向兼容的问题。 发明内容 针对现有技术中部分站点无法接入的问题而提出本发明, 为此, 本发明的 主要目的在于提供一种无线局域网中的传输方法和装置, 以解决上述问题至少 之一。 为了实现上述目的, 才艮据本发明的一个方面, 提供了一种无线局域网中的 传输方法, 其包括: 发送站点或接收站点在第一信道集合和 /或第二信道集合中 的信道上进行信道检测和 /或信道扫描; 若检测和 /或扫描的结果满足预定条件 , 则上述发送站点与上述接收站点在上述第一信道集合或上述第二信道集合的 信道上交互预约消息, 其中, 上述预约消息用于预约传输所用的上述第二信道 集合中的信道; 上述发送站点在上述第二信道集合中的所预约的信道上将数据 帧发送给上述接收站点; 在收到上述数据帧后, 上述接收站点在上述第一信道 集合或第二信道集合的信道上发送对上述数据帧的确认信息。 若检测和 /或扫描的结果满足预定条件, 还包括: 上述发送站点在上述第一 信道集合的信道上与上述接收站点进行与上述数据帧不同的第一类型无线帧 的收发。 上述第一类型无线帧包括: 管理帧。 上述发送设备与上述接收设备预约传输所用的上述第二信道集合中的信 道的步骤包括: 上述发送站点与上述接收站点在所要预约的上述第二信道集合 的信道上交互上述预约消息, 或者, 上述发送站点与上述接收站点在上述第一 信道集合中的与所要预约的信道存在交叠的信道上交互上述预约消息; 其中, 上述预约消息携带有: 在所要预约的信道上进行传输所需的占用时间。 上述发送站点在与上述接收站点交互预约消息之前, 还包括: 上述发送站 点在上述第一信道集合的信道上发送用于预约传输一个或多个上述数据帧所 需的时间长度的无线帧。 上述发送站点在上述第二信道集合中的所预约的信道上将数据帧发送给 上述接收站点之前, 还包括: 上述发送站点向上述接收站点发送指示信息, 其 中, 上述指示信息指示以下内容至少之一: 所要预约的信道带宽, 所要预约的 信道所属的信道集合。 釆用以下方式携带上述指示信息: 在上述预约消息中携带, 或者, 在上述 预约消息发送前通过其他消息携带。 通过以下步骤判断上述所检测和 /或扫描的结果是否满足预定条件:判断上 述第一信道集合和第二信道集合中是否存在没有千扰的信道, 或者, 存在千扰 信号值小于预定阈值的信道; 若存在, 则判断出所检测和 /或扫描的结果满足预 定条件。 上述发送站点在上述第二信道集合中的所预约的信道上将数据帧发送给 上述接收站点之前, 还包括: 上述发送站点通过信令将传输模式通知给上述接 收站点, 其中, 上述传输模式包括: 上述发送站点与上述接收站点在上述第一 信道集合或上述第二信道集合的信道上交互预约消息, 预约传输所用信道集合 中的信道; 上述发送站点与上述接收站点在预约的信道上进行数据帧的传输, 上述接收站点收到上述数据帧后, 在第一信道集合或第二信道集合的信道上发 送对上述数据帧的确认。 上述发送站点通过信令将传输模式通知给上述接收站点的步骤包括: 上述 发送站点在上述第一信道集合的信道上发送的管理帧中携带上述第一信道集 合和上述第二信道集合所属的频率规划类信息。 上述第一信道集合中的信道构成的信道带宽包括: 20 MHz、 40 MHz、 80MHz; 上述第二信道集合中的信道构成的信道带宽包括: 20 MHz, 40 MHz、 80 MHz, 120 MHz„ 上述第一信道集合和上述第二信道集合是对同一频段釆用不同的信道化 方法所形成的信道的集合, 其中, 上述第一信道集合中的信道的中心频点与上 述第二信道集合中的信道的中心频点不同, 上述第一信道集合的信道与第二信 道集合的信道全部或部分交叠。 为了实现上述目的, 才艮据本发明的另一方面, 提供了一种无线局域网中的 传输装置, 设置在发送设备中, 其中, 该传输装置包括: 检测单元, 设置为对 第一信道集合和 /或第二信道集合中的信道进行信道检测和 /或信道扫描; 预约 单元, 设置为在所检测和 /或扫描的结果满足预定条件时, 与上述接收站点在上 述第一信道集合或上述第二信道集合的信道上交互预约消息, 其中, 上述预约 消息用于预约传输所用的上述第二信道集合中的信道; 传输单元, 设置为在上 述第二信道集合中的所预约的信道上将数据帧发送给上述接收站点, 并接收上 述接收站点对上述数据帧的确认信息。 上述预约单元包括: 第一预约模块, 设置为与上述接收站点在所要预约的 上述第二信道集合的信道上交互上述预约消息, 或者, 与上述接收站点在上述 第一信道集合中的与所要预约的信道存在交叠的信道上交互上述预约消息, 其 中, 上述预约消息携带有: 在所要预约的信道进行传输所需的占用时间。 上述预约单元包括: 第二预约模块, 设置为在与上述接收站点交互预约消 息之前, 在上述第一信道集合的信道上发送用于预约传输一个或多个上述数据 帧所需的时间长度的无线帧。 上述传输单元包括: 第一传输模块, 设置为在检测和 /或扫描的结果满足预 定条件时, 在上述第一信道集合的信道上与上述接收站点进行与上述数据帧不 同的第一类型无线帧的收发。 上述传输单元还包括: 第二传输模块, 设置为在上述第二信道集合中的所 预约的信道上将数据帧发送给上述接收站点之前, 向上述接收站点发送指示信 息, 其中, 上述指示信息指示以下内容至少之一: 所要预约的信道带宽, 所要 预约的信道所属的信道集合。 上述传输装置还包括: 判断单元, 设置为通过以下步骤判断所检测和 /或扫 描的结果是否满足预定条件: 判断上述第一信道集合和第二信道集合中是否存 在没有千扰的信道, 或者, 存在千扰信号值小于预定阈值的信道; 若存在, 则 判断出所检测和 /或扫描的结果满足预定条件。 在本发明中 ,通过发送站点或接收站点对第一信道集合和 /或第二信道集合 进行信道检测, 判断当前是否能够使用第二信道集合中的信道进行传输, 从而 能够使得支持第二信道集合的站点在第二信道集合上传输数据帧, 增加了传输 的灵活性, 同时能够使得支持第二信道集合的站点和仅支持第一信道集合的站 点在无线网络中共同工作, 使系统具有良好的后向兼容性。 本发明的其它特征和优点将在随后的说明书中阐述, 并且, 部分地从说明 书中变得显而易见, 或者通过实施本发明而了解。 本发明的目的和其他优点可 通过在所写的说明书、 权利要求书、 以及附图中所特别指出的结构来实现和获 得。 附图说明 此处所说明的附图用来提供对本发明的进一步理解, 构成本申请的一部 分, 本发明的示意性实施例及其说明用于解释本发明, 并不构成对本发明的不 当限定。 在附图中: 图 1是根据相关技术的大带宽系统不同信道带宽组成示意图; 图 2是根据本发明实施例的 5.725GHz至 5.850GHz频段内不同信道化方法 形成的信道集合的示意图; 图 3 是才艮据本发明实施例的无线局域网中的传输方法的一种优选的流程 图; 图 4是根据本发明实施例的所检测和 /或扫描的信道集合的示意图; 图 5 是根据本发明实施例的无线局域网中的传输装置的一种优选的结构 图; 图 6是根据本发明实施例的无线局域网中的传输装置的另一种优选的结构 图。 具体实施方式 下文中将参考附图并结合实施例来详细说明本发明。 需要说明的是, 在不 冲突的情况下, 本申请中的实施例及实施例中的特征可以相互组合。 在本发明实施例中, 以 5.725GHz至 5.850GHz频段, 在该频段内釆用两种 信道化方法形成的两个信道集合为例进行说明, 第一信道集合是中心频点从 5.745GHz开始, 按照每个信道带宽为 20MHz划分, 该频段内形成 5个 20MHz 的互不交叠的信道, 最大信道带宽为 80MHz; 第二信道集合是将上述每个中心 频点向氏频点方向偏移 7.5MHz, 产生 6个互不交叠的 20MHz信道, 最大信道 带宽为 120MHz (见附图 2 )。发送站点和接收站点可以是以下之一: 接入站点, 非接入站点。 在本发明的实施例中, 以发送站点为接入站点, 接收站点为非接 入站点为例进行说明。 实施例 1 图 3 是才艮据本发明实施例的无线局域网中的传输方法的一种优选的流程 图, 其包括如下步骤:
