载波侦听的方法和系统
技术领域
本发明涉及通信技术领域, 特别涉及载波侦听的方法和系统。 背景技术
在 IEEE802.il无线局域网 ( WLAN ) 中, 分布式的信道接入特性使得载 波侦听机制成为避免传输冲突的关键。 在载波侦听机制中, 发送端在开始传 输数据之前, 需要通过空闲信道评估 (CCA, Clear Channel Assessment )模 块对传输信道进行空闲信道评估检测, 以判断传输信道是否空闲, 并只有在 传输信道空闲的情况下才开始数据传输。 然而, 在实际应用环境中, 发送端 不可能检测到所有其他设备的传输信道的情况。 例如, 如图 1所示, 图 1中 的站点 1 ( STA1 )和接入点 ( AP, Access Point )之间正在进行数据传输。 此时, STA2可以侦测到 STA1和 AP之间的数据传输, 从而得知 AP的传输 信道已被 STA1 占用。 但是, 与 STA1和 AP距离较远的 STA3 , 由于距离的 原因,很可能仅能侦测到 AP向 STA1发送数据的行为, 而无法侦测到 STA1 向 AP发送数据的行为。 因此, 对于 STA1和 AP之间的数据传输, STA3是 一个隐藏节点。 当 STA1正在向 AP发送数据时, STA3无法侦测到上述数据 传输, 因此有可能判断向 AP 发送数据的传输信道正处于空闲状态, 所以 STA3也将开始向 AP发送数据, 从而造成传输冲突。
为了解决上述的隐藏节点的问题, 在 WLAN中引入了发送请求(RTS, Request to send ) /准许发送( CTS, Clear to send )机制。 在该 RTS/ CTS机 制中, 发送端在侦测到所需的传输信道空闲后, 将广播一个 RTS帧, 该 RTS 帧中包括一个网络分配矢量(NAV, Network allocation vector ) 时段和一个 回应地址。 当网络中的任意一个网络设备接收到该 RTS 帧时, 如果获知该 RTS帧中的回应地址与该网络设备的 MAC地址不同, 则该网络设备不做任 何回应, 而只是将自身设置为: 在该 NAV时段内不进行数据的发送; 如果 获知该 RTS帧中的回应地址与该网络设备的 MAC地址相同 ,则该网络设备 将通过 CCA模块判断自身的传输信道 (或称为传输介质 )是否空闲, 如果 是, 则向上述发送端返回 CTS帧; 否则, 不做任何回应。 而在新一代的 IEEE 802.1 lac 标准中, WLAN 的最大频带已从 IEEE 802.11η所规定的 40Μ扩展到 160M, 因此在频域上最多可以占用 8个 20Μ 的传输信道, 其中, 该 8个传输信道中包括一个主信道和多个次信道。 为了 避免上述的信道中的隐藏节点问题, 在新的 IEEE 802.11ac标准中规定, 发 射设备需要在每个 20M的传输信道上都发送 RTS帧; 而当一个接收设备接 收到上述 RTS帧后, 如果该 RTS帧中的回应地址与该接收设备的 MAC地 址相同, 则该接收设备需要在每个 20M的传输信道上都根据收到 RTS帧之 前的点协调功能帧间距(PIFS ) 时间内的 CCA结果, 判断该传输信道是否 空闲; 如果该传输信道空闲, 则向发射设备返回 CTS 帧; 否则, 不做任何 回应。
由于接收设备需要根据收到 RTS之前的 PIFS时间内 CCA的结果进行空 闲信道判断, 并决定是否回应 CTS帧, 因此接收设备的 CCA模块必须一直 保持对每个传输信道的检测, 以备可能出现的 RTS帧,从而使得接收设备的 功率消耗较大。
例如, 在现有技术中的一种载波侦听方法中, 要求所有活跃的接收设备 在处于空闲状态时,必须一直打开 CCA模块对所有信道都进行 CCA检测并 得到 CCA结果, 从而在接收设备接收到 RTS帧后, 可以及时根据 CCA结 果判断是否返回 CTS帧。 在该方法中, 由于接收设备将一直打开 CCA模块 对主信道和所有的次信道都进行 CCA检测,所以接收设备的功率消耗很大。
而在现有技术中的另一种载波侦听方法中, 要求所有活跃的接收设备在 处于空闲状态时,必须使用 CCA模块对传输信道中的主信道进行 CCA检测 并得到 CCA结果, 但并不对次信道进行 CCA检测。 当接收设备接收到相应 的 RTS帧后, 该接收设备将根据主信道的 CCA结果, 向发送设备返回各个 信道的 CTS帧。 在该方法中, 由于接收设备仅对主信道进行 CCA检测而不 对次信道进行 CCA检测, 因此可以降低接收设备的功率消耗。 但是, 由于 该接收设备不对次信道进行 CCA检测, 因此将无法提供可靠的次信道的 CCA结果, 所以该接收设备有可能向发射设备返回错误的 CTS帧 (例如, 当某一次信道正在被使用时, 该接收设备却向发射设备返回 CTS 帧, 通知 发射设备该次信道处于空闲状态), 从而导致传输冲突。
综上可知, 在现有技术的载波侦听方法中, 接收设备的功耗都较大; 而 如果降低接收设备的功耗,则将难以提供所有传输信道的可靠的 CCA结果。 发明内容
本发明的实施例中提供了载波侦听的方法和系统, 从而可有效地降低接 收设备的功耗。
根据上述目的, 本发明的技术方案是这样实现的:
一种数据传输的方法, 该方法包括:

发送端在接收到准许发送 CTS帧之后,在传送 CTS帧的传输信道上进行 数据传输。
本发明的实施例中还提供了一种侦听数据载波的方法, 该方法包括: 接收端根据从其传输信道中的主信道上接收到的空闲信道评估 CCA请 求帧, 对所述接收端的所有传输信道进行 CCA检测, 并在接收到 CCA请求 帧之后的点协调功能帧间距 PIFS之内, 获得其所有传输信道的 CCA结果; 接收端接收发送端发送的发送请求 RTS帧,如果接收到的 RTS帧中的回 应地址与所述接收端的 MAC地址相同, 则根据所述传输信道的 CCA结果 判断接收所述 RTS帧的传输信道是否空闲, 并在所述接收所述 RTS帧的传 输信道处于空闲状态时,通过所述接收所述 RTS帧的传输信道发送 CTS帧。
本发明的实施例中还提供了一种用于载波侦听的发送端,该发送端包括: 发送模块 , 用于在需要检测的传输信道中的主信道上发送一个空闲信道 评估 CCA请求帧, 并在发送所述 CCA请求帧后的点协调功能帧间距 PIFS 之后, 在所述需要检测的传输信道上发送发送请求 RTS帧;
接收模块, 用于接收所述接收端发送的准许发送 CTS帧, 并将接收到的 CTS帧发送给所述数据传输模块;
数据传输模块, 用于根据接收到的 CTS帧, 在传送 CTS帧的传输信道上 进行数据传输。
本发明的实施例中还提供了一种用于载波侦听的接收端,该接收端包括: 接收模块、 空闲信道评估 CCA模块、 判断模块和发送模块; 所述接收模块,用于从所述接收端的传输信道中的主信道上接收 CCA请 求帧, 将接收到的 CCA请求帧发送给所述 CCA模块; 从所述接收端的传输 信道上接收发送请求 RTS帧, 并将接收到的 RTS帧发送给所述判断模块; 所述 CCA模块, 用于根据接收到的 CCA请求帧对所述接收端的所有传 输信道进行 CCA检测, 并在接收到 CCA请求帧之后的点协调功能帧间距 PIFS之内, 获得所述接收端的所有传输信道的 CCA结果; 将所述 CCA结 果发送给所述判断模块;
所述判断模块, 用于判断所述接收到的 RTS帧中的回应地址与所述接收 端的 MAC地址是否相同, 如果相同, 则根据接收到的 RTS帧的传输信道的 CCA结果判断接收所述 RTS帧的传输信道是否空闲;
所述发送模块,用于在所述接收所述 RTS帧的传输信道处于空闲状态时, 通过所述接收所述 RTS帧的传输信道发送 CTS帧。
本发明的实施例中还提供了一种载波侦听系统, 该系统包括: 发送端和 至少一个接收端; 其中,
所述发送端, 用于在需要检测的传输信道中的主信道上发送一个空闲信 道评估 CCA请求帧,并在发送上述 CCA请求帧后的点协调功能帧间距 PIFS 之后,在所述需要检测的传输信道上发送发送请求 RTS帧; 并在接收到所述 接收端发送的准许发送 CTS帧之后, 在传送 CTS帧的传输信道上进行数据 传输;
所述接收端, 用于根据从其传输信道中的主信道上接收到的 CCA请求 帧, 对所述接收端的所有传输信道进行 CCA检测, 并在接收到 CCA请求帧 之后的 PIFS之内, 获得其所有传输信道的 CCA结果; 接收发送端发送的 RTS帧 , 如果接收到的 RTS帧中的回应地址与该接收端的 MAC地址相同 , 则根据所述传输信道的 CCA 结果判断接收所述 RTS 帧的传输信道是否空 闲,并在所述接收所述 RTS帧的传输信道处于空闲状态时,通过所述接收所 述 RTS帧的传输信道发送 CTS帧。
由上可知, 在本发明的实施例中提供了载波侦听的方法和系统。 在载波 侦听的方法中, 由于发送端在发送 RTS帧之前,将先在所需检测的传输信道 中的主信道上发送一个 CCA请求帧; 而接收端则只有从其传输信道中的主 信道上接收到 CCA请求帧之后,才会启动 CCA模块对该接收端的所有传输 信道进行 CCA检测 , 并在接收到 CCA请求帧之后的 PIFS之内 , 获得其所 有传输信道的 CCA结果, 因此, 接收端不必在接收到 RTS帧之前, 一直对 所有的传输信道进行 CCA检测以获得 CCA结果,从而能够大大地降低接收 端的功耗。 附图说明

为了使本发明的目的、 技术方案和优点更加清楚明白, 以下举具体实施 例并参照附图, 对本发明的技术方案进行进一步详细的说明。
另外,本发明实施例是 WLAN中站点( STA )和接入点 ( AP , Access Point ) 之间正在进行数据传输。 有些时候可以认为 AP是一个特殊的站点。 可以认 为站点 ( STA )和接入点互为发送端和接收端。
图 2为本发明实施例中的数据传输的方法流程图。 如图 2所示, 所述载 波侦听的方法包括如下所述的步骤:
步骤 201 , 发送端在需要检测的传输信道中的主信道上发送一个 CCA请 求帧, 并在发送上述 CCA请求帧后的 PIFS之后, 在需要检测的传输信道上 发送 RTS帧。
在本步骤中, 如果发送端需要对某些传输信道的空闲状况进行检测, 则 该发送端在发送 RTS帧之前,可首先在所需检测的传输信道中的主信道上发 送一个 CCA请求帧, 从而可以通知接收端对所需检测的所有传输信道进行 CCA检测。 在发送上述 CCA请求帧之后, 发送端并不立即发送 RTS帧, 而 是在发送上述 CCA请求帧后的 PIFS之后,再在所有所需检测的传输信道上 发送 RTS帧, 从而给接收端留出进行相应的 CCA检测的时间。
其中, 在本发明的具体实施例中, 所述 CCA请求帧可以是一个此信道 CCA请求( SCR, Secondary channel CCA Request )帧。 另夕卜, 所述 CCA请 求帧中可以包括用户模式指示或 CCA请求的目标标识。 其中, 所述用户模 式指示, 用于表示该 CCA请求帧所使用的用户模式; 所述 CCA请求帧所使 用的用户模式包括: 多用户 (MU )模式和单用户 (SU )模式, 分别表示该 CCA请求帧是发送给一个接收端还是一个接收端组。 因此, 上述用户模式 指示也可称之为 MU/ SU模式指示。如果用户模式为 SU模式,则该 CCA请 求帧将发送给某一接收端; 如果用户模式为 MU模式, 则该 CCA请求帧将 发送给一个接收端组, 该接收端组中至少包括两个接收端。 所述 CCA请求 的目标标识, 用于表示该 CCA请求的接收端的标识信息。 当用户模式为 SU 模式时, 所述 CCA请求的目标标识可以是接收端的标识信息, 例如, 该接 收端的关联标识(AID )或媒体接入控制 (MAC )地址等; 而当用户模式为 MU模式时, 所述 CCA请求的目标标识则可以是接收端组的标识信息, 例 如, 该接收端组的组标识(GID ), 或者是该接收端组中的各个接收端的 AID 或 MAC地址。
图 3是本发明实施例中的 CCA请求帧的结构示意图。 如图 3所示, 所述 CCA请求帧可以占用 2个字节, 即包括 16个比特(bit ), 其中, 该 CCA请 求帧中的第 1个比特用于用户模式指示(即 MU/ SU模式指示), 例如, 当 该比特的取值为 0时, 表示为 SU模式; 而当该比特的取值为 1时, 则表示 为 MU模式; 该 CCA请求帧中的第 2〜13个比特用于 CCA请求的目标标 识, 根据上述第 2〜13个比特的取值即可获知接收端的标识信息, 例如, 接 收端的 AID、 GID 或 MAC地址等标识信息; 此外, 该 CCA请求帧中的第 14〜16个比特为保留位。
步骤 202,接收端根据从其传输信道中的主信道上接收到的 CCA请求帧, 对该接收端的所有传输信道进行 CCA检测,并在接收到 CCA请求帧之后的 PIFS之内, 获得其所有传输信道的 CCA结果。
在本步骤中, 接收端在其传输信道中的主信道上接收到发送端发送的 CCA请求帧之后, 便可获知上述发送端需要对该接收端的所有传输信道进 行 CCA检测。 因此, 该接收端可根据接收到的 CCA请求帧启动 CCA模块, 对该接收端的所有传输信道进行 CCA检测,并且在接收到 CCA请求帧之后 的 PIFS之内, 获得其所有传输信道的 CCA结果。
由此可知,在本发明的具体实施例中,接收端在接收到 CCA请求帧之前, 并不需要启动 CCA模块对其所有的传输信道进行 CCA检测以得到 CCA结 果; 而是只有在从其传输信道中的主信道上接收到发送端的 CCA请求帧之 后,才启动 CCA模块对其所有的传输信道进行 CCA检测以得到 CCA结果, 从而可以大大降低接收端的功率消耗, 而且同时也可以为所有的传输信道都 提供可靠的 CCA结果。
步骤 203 , 接收端接收发送端发送的 RTS帧, 如果接收到的 RTS帧中的 回应地址与该接收端的 MAC地址相同, 则根据该传输信道的 CCA结果判 断接收所述 RTS帧的传输信道是否空闲, 并在所述接收所述 RTS帧的传输 信道处于空闲状态时, 通过所述接收所述 RTS帧的传输信道发送 CTS帧。
在本步骤, 接收端在其传输信道上接收到发送端发送的 RTS帧后, 将判 断该 RTS帧中的回应地址与自身的 MAC地址是否相同; 如果不相同, 则该 接收端将不做任何回应; 而如果相同,则该接收端将根据该传输信道的 CCA 结果判断上述接收所述 RTS帧的传输信道是否空闲,并根据判断结果确定是 否向发送端返回 CTS 帧。 例如, 当该传输信道处于空闲状态时, 则该接收 端将在该传输信道上向发送端返回 CTS 帧, 从而告知发送端该传输信道处 于空闲状态; 当该传输信道处于非空闲状态(例如, 正在传输数据)时, 则 该接收端将不在该传输信道上向上述发送端做任何回应。
步骤 204, 发送端在接收到接收端返回的 CTS帧之后, 在返回 CTS帧的 传输信道上进行数据传输。
在本步骤中, 当发送端接收到接收端返回的 CTS帧之后, 即可获知哪些 传输信道正处于空闲状态, 因此, 该发送端就可在返回 CTS 帧的传输信道 上进行数据传输。
通过上述的描述可知, 在本发明实施例中所提供的上述载波侦听的方法 中, 由于发送端在发送 RTS帧之前,将先在所需检测的传输信道中的主信道 上发送一个 CCA请求帧; 而接收端则只有从其传输信道中的主信道上接收 到 CCA请求帧之后, 才会启动 CCA模块对该接收端的所有传输信道进行 CCA检测, 并在接收到 CCA请求帧之后的 PIFS之内, 获得其所有传输信 道的 CCA结果, 因此, 接收端不必在接收到 RTS帧之前, 一直对所有的传 输信道进行 CCA检测以获得 CCA结果, 从而大大减少了接收端的 CCA模 块的工作时间, 有效地降低接收端的功耗; 此外, 由于接收端在收到 CCA 请求帧之后, 将对其所有的传输信道都进行 CCA检测并获得 CCA结果, 从 而在降低接收端功耗的同时还可提供可靠的所有的传输信道的 CCA结果。
另外, 在本发明的实施例中, 还提供了一种发送端的载波侦听方法。 图 4 为本发明实施例中的发送端的载波侦听方法的流程图。 如图 4所示, 所述发 送端的载波侦听方法包括如下所述的步骤:
步骤 401 , 发送端在所需检测的传输信道的中主信道上发送一个 CCA请 求帧, 并在发送上述 CCA请求帧后的 PIFS之后, 在所有所需检测的传输信 道上发送 RTS帧。
该步骤与上述图 2中的步骤 201相同, 在此不再贅述。
步骤 402, 发送端在接收到接收端返回的 CTS帧之后, 在返回 CTS帧的 传输信道上进行数据传输。
该步骤与上述图 2中的步骤 204相同, 在此也不再贅述。
再者, 在本发明的实施例中, 还提供了一种接收端的载波侦听方法。 图 5 为本发明实施例中的接收端的载波侦听方法的流程图。 如图 5所示, 所述接 收端的载波侦听方法包括如下所述的步骤:
步骤 501,接收端根据从其传输信道中的主信道上接收到的 CCA请求帧, 启动 CCA模块对该接收端的所有传输信道进行 CCA检测,并在接收到 CCA 请求帧之后的 PIFS之内, 获得其所有传输信道的 CCA结果。
该步骤与上述图 2中的步骤 202相同, 在此不再贅述。
步骤 502, 接收端在其传输信道上接收到 RTS帧后, 如果接收到的 RTS 帧中的回应地址与该接收端的 MAC地址相同, 则根据该传输信道的 CCA 结果判断该传输信道是否空闲,并根据判断结果确定是否向发送端返回 CTS 帧。
该步骤与上述图 2中的步骤 203相同, 在此不再贅述。
在本发明的实施例中, 还提供了一种载波侦听系统。 本发明实施例是 WLAN中站点 (STA )和接入点 (AP, Access Point )之间正在进行数据传 输。 有些时候可以认为 AP是一个特殊的站点。 可以认为站点 (STA )和接 入点互为发送端和接收端。 所以在发送端和接收端分别可能是 STA或 AP。 在本发明实施例中的发送端和接收端采用上述方法实施例中的方法进行通 程, 所以介绍系统中关于使

所述接收端 602, 用于根据从其传输信道中的主信道上接收到的 CCA请 求帧, 对该接收端 602的所有传输信道进行 CCA检测, 并在接收到 CCA请 求帧之后的 PIFS之内, 获得其所有传输信道的 CCA结果; 接收发送端发送 的 RTS帧, 如果接收到的 RTS帧中的回应地址与该接收端 602的 MAC地 址相同, 则根据所述传输信道的 CCA结果判断接收所述 RTS帧的传输信道 是否空闲,并在所述接收所述 RTS帧的传输信道处于空闲状态时,通过所述 接收所述 RTS帧的传输信道发送 CTS帧。
另外, 在本发明的具体实施例中, 所述发送端 601 中还包括: 发送模块 6011、 接收模块 6012和数据传输模块 6013。

此外, 在本发明的具体实施例中, 所述接收端 602 中还包括: 接收模块 6021、 CCA模块 6022、 判断模块 6023和发送模块 6024。
所述接收模块 6021 , 用于从所述接收端 602的传输信道中的主信道上接 收 CCA请求帧, 将接收到的 CCA请求帧发送给所述 CCA模块 6022; 从接 收端 602的传输信道上接收 RTS帧, 并将接收到的 RTS帧发送给所述判断 模块 6023;
所述 CCA模块 6022, 用于根据接收到的 CCA请求帧对该接收 602端的 所有传输信道进行 CCA检测, 并在接收到 CCA请求帧之后的 PIFS之内, 获得该接收端 602的所有传输信道的 CCA结果;将所述 CCA结果发送给所 述判断模块 6023 ;
所述判断模块 6023 ,用于判断所述接收到的 RTS帧中的回应地址与该接 收端的 MAC地址是否相同, 如果相同, 则根据接收到的 RTS帧的传输信道 的 CCA结果判断接收所述 RTS帧的传输信道是否空闲; 所述发送模块 6024,用于在在所述接收所述 RTS帧的传输信道处于空闲 状态时, 通过所述接收所述 RTS帧的传输信道发送 CTS帧。
另外, 所述接收模块还用于通过所述传输信道继续接收所述发送端发送 的数据。
在上述的实施例中, CCA请求帧为 SCR帧。 进一步, 在具体的实施中 也可以利用已定义的管理帧或控制帧或者是带有特殊标识的数据帧作为 CCA请求。
在本实施例中 CCA请求帧可以是 VHT Action 帧 (VHT: Very high throughput, 甚高速传输; VHT Action帧可称为甚高速传输动作帧)。 发送端 在需要检测的传输信道中的主信道上发送一个 VHT Action 帧。 在本实施例 中 VHT Action 帧中 VHT Action域的值的定义如下表 1所示,
VHT Action 帧中 VHT Action域数值含义的定义
Figure imgf000014_0001
当 VHT Action的值为 CCA请求指示值, 例如 3或者另一约定的值时, 标识 CCA Idle time measurement 则在此情况下, 该 VHT Action 帧为一个 CCA请求帧。 该帧用以通知 STA准备发送一个 RTS。 当 VHT Action 帧为 一个 CCA请求帧时 , 其格式如下表 2所示:
表 2― CCA IDLE time measurement frame body
Order Information (信息)
1 Category (类别)
2 Action (动作)
3 MU/SU indication (多用户 /单用户模式指示 )
4 AID/GID (关联标识号 /组标识号 )
5 Start/Stop CCA IDLE time measurement (开始 /停止 CCA空闲 时间管理) 其中用户模式指示为可选的字段, 此时 AID/GID字段预留足够多的比特 即可。 Start/Stop CCA IDLE time measurement也是可选, 用于指示启动或关 闭次信道检测,如果没有此字段则收到该 CCA请求帧时即启动次信道检测。
Category i或设置为 VHT , Action i或设置为 CCA IDLE time measurement。 MU/SU模式指示用于该 CCA请求帧是发送给一个接收设备或一组接收设 备。 CCA请求目标标识在 SU模式下可以是接收设备的 AID或者 MAC地址 等可以标识该接收设备的信息; 在 MU模式下可以是 GID标识一个接收设 备组或者多个 AID/MAC地址。
在本实施 CCA请求帧还可以是数据帧。 在发送 RTS之前至少 PIFS时间 发送的数据帧当中可以包含 CCA请求。 即在一个数据帧中携带 CCA请求, 其中包括了包括了用户模式指示或 CCA请求的目标标识。具体 CCA请求的 内容如前实施例所述, 在本实施例中是同数据帧携带, 例如可以将 CCA请 求相相关的比特置于数据帧的尾部。
在上述的实施例中, CCA请求帧中包括了用户模式指示或 CCA请求的 目标标识。 进一步, 在 CCA请求帧中还可以包括一个次信道检测指示, 用 于指示 STA开启次信道 CCA检测或是关闭次信道 CCA检测。在 STA和 AP 关联(association ) 时, AP可以通知 STA是否使用 CCA请求帧指示次信道 CCA检测。例如在利用 VHT Action 帧作为 CCA请求帧 Start/Stop CCA IDLE time measurement可以用来指示该帧用来开启还是关闭次信道 CCA检测模 块, 也可以在数据帧中增加该字段。 如果在 CCA的请求帧中包括信道检测 指示, 则如果该指示为指示次信道检测关闭时, 则只进行主信道的检测, 如 果该指示该指示次信道检测开启, 则进行次信道的 CCA检测。 在 CCA检测 中,可以先对主信道进行检测。如果 STA收到了包含次信道 CCA检测指示, 则根据指示位的值依次指示打开或者关闭, 次信道上的 CCA检测。
在本发明实施例中的发送端和接收端及系统均采用上述各方法实施例中 的方法进行通讯, 发送端和接收端能够完成上述的方法及各流程, 所以介绍 系统中关于使用发送端和接收端时的方法请参阅方法实施例中的介绍, 其各 模块发送的 CCA请求帧均可用如上所述。
在本发明的具体实施例中, 上述载波侦听系统中可以有多个接收端。 图 6中仅示出载波侦听系统中有 1个接收端的情况。 当载波侦听系统中有多个 接收端时,每个接收端的结构和连接关系与上述图 6中的接收端的结构和连 接关系相同。
