Definitions
- the embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of communications, and more specifically, to a method for allocating channel resources and a communication device. Background technique
- the WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) system operates on the unlicensed spectrum, so there may be other users sharing the spectrum on the channel. If multiple users send data at the same time, they may interfere with each other and cause conflicts.
- the WLAN system adopts the CSMA/CA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance) mode for collision avoidance.
- Carrier Sense CS means that any device connected to the channel listens to the channel before it is ready to send data. Data can be sent when it is confirmed that the channel is idle.
- Multiple access MA means that multiple devices can access channels at the same time, and data frames sent by one device can be received by multiple devices.
- the CSMA/CA mechanism solves conflicts by actively avoiding collisions rather than passive detection, and can satisfy those that are difficult to accurately detect whether conflicts occur.
- the CSMA works by sending a data frame when the device is ready to send a data frame and hears that the channel is idle, waiting for a random time to remain idle.
- CDMA/CA mode of operation is less efficient. Especially in the case of dense deployment of APs (Access Points) and STAs (Stations), the probability of collision of channel competition is greatly increased, and the efficiency of MAC (Media Access Control) is greatly reduced.

下面将结合本发明实施例中的附图,对本发明实施例中的技术方案进行 清楚、 完整地描述, 显然, 所描述的实施例是本发明的一部分实施例, 而不 是全部实施例。 基于本发明中的实施例, 本领域普通技术人员在没有作出创 造性劳动的前提下所获得的所有其他实施例, 都应属于本发明保护的范围。
应理解,本发明实施例的技术方案可以应用于使用非授权频谱资源的通 信系统中, 例如 WL AN系统。
还应理解, 在本发明实施例中, 接入点为提供接入服务的网络设备, 例 如, WLAN系统中的 AP。 站点为通过无线网络接入到接入点中进行通信的 另一端设备, 例如, 用户设备(User Equipment, 筒称为 "UE" )可称之为 终端 ( Terminal )、移动台 ( Mobile Station, 筒称为 "MS" )、移动终端 ( Mobile Terminal )等, 本发明并不限定。 但为描述方便, 下述实施例以接入点 AP 和站点 STA为例进行说明。
图 1是本发明实施例可应用的通信系统的示意性结构图。 图 1的通信系
统以覆盖范围为 101a的第一 AP llOa和覆盖范围为 101b的第二 AP 110b为 例进行描述。 但本发明实施例对 AP 110的数量不作限定。
第一 STA 120a接入到第一 AP 110a,第二 STA 120b接入到第二 AP 110b, 且第一 STA 120a和第二 STA 120b位于 101a与 101b重叠的覆盖范围 102内。 同样地, 本发明实施例对 STA的数量不作限定。
例如,在 CDMA/CA模式下,用 RTS/CTS( Request to Send/Clear to Send ) 协议来进行传输保护, 站点或者接入点在发送数据前先对信道进行预留。 第 一 AP 110a在发送数据前先发送 RTS帧, 第一 STA 120a收到 RTS帧后, 回 应一个 CTS帧。 所有收到 RTS或 CTS帧的其它 AP (例如, 第二 AP 110b ) 或 STA (例如, 第二 STA 120b )根据收到 RTS或 CTS 的指示设置 NAV ( Network Allocation Vector, 网络分配矢量)。 在 NAV对应的时间内, 这些 AP或 STA不能在对应信道上发送数据。第一 AP 110a发送 RTS并收到第一 STA 120a回应的 CTS后, 获得一个发送机会, 在这段时间内第一 APllOa 给第一 STA 120a发送数据不会受到周围 AP或 STA的干扰。
但是, 当 WLAN系统中 AP和 STA密集部署时, RTS帧的碰撞概率会 大大增加, 碰撞后竟争窗口长度加倍, MAC 效率大幅下降。 在系统开销较 大的同时, 还会导致系统效率降低。
又如,在将调度模式弓 I入到该通信系统中,第一 AP 110a与第二 AP 110b 均工作在调度模式下, 且不能相互协作。假设第一 AP llOa与第一 STA 120a 进行通信时调度的传输资源为第一信道, 第二 AP 110b与第二 STA 120b通 信时调用的传输资源为第二信道。 当第一信道与第二信道相同或频率相近 时, 形成强烈的相互干扰, 第一 AP llOa和第二 AP 110b都会出现频繁的通 信错误。 因此, 第一 AP与第二 AP都不能够正常工作。
本发明实施例为在使用非授权频谱的通信系统引入调度模式提供了一 种可实现的方式, 有着较高的 MAC效率, 同时减小了对非协作调度 AP数 据传输的干扰。
图 2是本发明一个实施例的信道资源的分配方法的示意性流程图。该方 法 20可以由数据传输过程中的接收方执行,例如,图 1所示的 AP 110或 STA 120。
201 , 第一设备从接入点获取调度信息。
例如, 第一设备可以为接入点本身, 这时第二设备可以为 STA, 或者第
一设备为 STA, 第二设备为接入点本身。
202, 若第一设备根据调度信息, 被接入点预调度在第一信道的第一时 隙从第二设备接收数据,在第一信道的第一时隙对应的数据传输时间的起始 时刻之前, 第一设备发送竟争帧, 以竟争第一信道的第一时隙。
本发明实施例的信道资源分配方法中, 调度模式与竟争模式相结合, 接 入点可以先对第一设备进行预调度, 第一设备根据调度信息, 在对应时隙进 行数据传输的起始时刻之前, 发送竟争帧, 以竟争该信道使用权, 减少了潜 在的竟争设备数, 提高了效率。 本发明实施例为在使用非授权频谱的通信系 统引入调度模式提供了一种可实现的方式, 有着较高的 MAC效率。
另外, 由第一设备(数据接收方)发送竟争帧, 而不需要第二设备发送 响应帧, 进而降低了系统的信令开销。
进一步地, 在各个接入点 AP使用调度模式, 但各个 AP之间不能进行 协作调度的场景下, 根据本发明实施例的方法, 可以在信道的一些时隙或每 个时隙划分出一部分时间用于竟争。 只有竟争成功时, 调度信息才能生效。 这样, 可以减小各个非协作调度的 AP之间的相互干扰, 保证了网络正常通 信。 同时, 被调度到同一时隙进行数据传输进而需要信道竟争的设备数量级 小于非调度场景下的竟争设备数量级, 因而可以减小信道竟争带来的系统开 销。
应理解, 如果第一设备竟争成功, 第二设备获得一次发送机会, 按照调 度信息在第一信道的第一时隙向第一设备发送数据, 此时该调度信息生效。 相反地, 如果第一设备竟争失败, 第二设备失去本次发送机会, 此时该调度 信息失效。
还应理解, 在 WALN网络中, 第一设备可以为 AP或者 STA。 相应地, 在第一设备从接入点获取调度信息时, 可以是 AP获取本地的调度信息, 也 可以是 STA从 AP接收调度信息。
还应理解, 第一设备发送竟争帧的时刻在第一信道的第一时隙对应的传 输数据的起始时刻之前, 这样, 在信道竟争成功时, 调度信息才能生效。 例 如, 在第一时隙划分为传输数据和信道竟争两部分时, 需要在第一时隙的传 输数据的起始时刻之前完成竟争。
可选地, 作为一个实施例, 在第一设备发送竟争帧之前, 第一设备还可 以进行随机退避或者根据业务优先级进行随机退避。
这样, 可以提高竟争效率, 尤其在按照业务优先级进行随机退避时, 更 利于优先级业务较高的设备竟争成功。
可选地, 作为另一实施例, 若第一设备未能在第一信道的第一时隙接收 到数据, 第一设备请求接入点重新调度。 在这种情况下, 若第一设备未能在 第一信道的第一时隙从第二设备接收到数据,说明第一设备本次信道竟争失 败, 请求接入点重新调度。
例如, 如果未能在第一信道的第一时隙从第二设备接收到数据, 第一设 备向接入点发送反馈消息或者请求消息, 以请求接入点重新调度。 接入点接 收到反馈消息或者请求消息后, 重新为第一设备分配信道资源, 并下发调度 信息。 第一设备接收到新的调度信息后, 根据新的调度信息在相应时间再次 竟争信道。
图 3是本发明另一实施例的信道资源的分配方法的示意性流程图。该方 法 30可以由数据传输过程中的接收方执行,例如,图 1所示的 AP 110或 STA 120。
301 , 第二设备从接入点获取调度信息。
例如, 第二设备可以为接入点本身, 这时第一设备可以为 STA, 或者第 一设备为 STA, 第二设备为接入点本身。
302, 第二设备接收至少一个竟争帧。
303 , 若第二设备根据调度信息, 被接入点预调度在第一信道的第一时 隙向至少一个第一设备发送数据,且第二设备接收到的第一个竟争帧的发送 设备属于接入点所在的基本服务集 BSS,第二设备在第一信道的第一时隙向 至少一个第一设备发送数据。
本发明实施例的信道资源分配方法中, 调度模式与竟争模式相结合, 接 入点可以先对第二设备进行预调度。在第二设备接收到第一个竟争帧的发送 设备属于同一个接入点所在的 BSS时,第二设备在第一信道的第一时隙发送 数据。本发明实施例为在使用非授权频谱的通信系统引入调度模式提供了一 种可实现的方式, 有着较高的 MAC效率。
另外, 由第一设备(数据接收方)发送竟争帧, 而不需要第二设备发送 响应帧, 进而降低了系统的信令开销。
进一步地, 在各个接入点 AP使用调度模式, 但各个 AP之间不能进行 协作调度的场景下, 根据本发明实施例的方法, 可以在信道的一些时隙或每
个时隙划分出一部分时间用于竟争。 只有竟争成功时, 也即第二设备接收到 第一个竟争帧的发送设备属于同一个接入点所在的 BSS时,调度信息才能生 效。 这样, 可以减小各个非协作调度的 AP之间的相互干扰, 保证了网络正 常通信。 同时, 被调度到同一时隙进行数据传输进而需要信道竟争的设备数 量级小于非调度场景下的竟争设备数量级, 因而可以减小信道竟争带来的系 统开销。
应理解,在第二设备接收到第一个竟争帧的发送设备属于同一个接入点 所在的 BSS时, 说明第一设备竟争成功, 第二设备获得一次发送机会, 按照 调度信息在第一信道的第一时隙向第一设备发送数据, 此时该调度信息生 效。 相反地, 第二设备失去本次发送机会, 此时该调度信息失效。
还应理解, 在 WALN网络中, 第二设备可以为 AP或者 STA。 相应地, 在第二设备从接入点获取调度信息时, 可以是 AP获取本地的调度信息, 也 可以是 STA从 AP接收调度信息。
还应理解, 第一个竟争帧的发送设备属于该接入点所在的 BSS 是指该 接入点为该发送设备的服务接入点, 例如, 该发送设备关联到该接入点。
可选地, 作为一个实施例, 若第二设备接收到的第一个竟争帧的发送设 备不属于接入点所在的 BSS, 第二设备在第一信道的第一时隙的数据传输时 间保持静默。
这样, 在竟争失败时, 也即第二设备接收到的第一个竟争帧的发送设备 不属于该接入点所在的 BSS时, 第二设备在第一信道的第一时隙保持静默, 不会对竟争成功的其它设备造成干扰。 应理解, 在本发明是实施例中, 竟争 失败时并不影响第二设备在其它信道的数据传输。
可选地, 作为另一实施例, 若第二设备接收到的第一个竟争帧的发送设 备不属于接入点所在的 BSS, 第二设备请求接入点重新调度。
例如, 如果接收到的第一个竟争帧的发送设备不属于接入点所在的
BSS, 第二设备向接入点发送反馈消息或者请求消息, 以请求接入点重新调 度。接入点接收到反馈消息或者请求消息后,重新为第二设备分配信道资源, 并下发调度信息。
可选地, 作为另一实施例, 在第二设备在第一信道的第一时隙的数据传 输时间保持静默时,第二设备根据第一个竟争帧设置网络分配矢量 NAV,在 NAV对应的时间内, 第二设备不在第一信道发送数据。
可选地, 作为另一实施例, 第二设备根据第一个竟争帧的地址域, 确定 第一个竟争帧的发送设备是否属于接入点所在的 BSS。
例如, 第二设备检测第一个竟争帧的地址域, 如果该地址域与自己关联
AP 的 MAC 地址相同, 则认为该竟争帧的发送设备属于该接入点所在的 BSS , 否则不属于该接入点所在的 BSS。
图 4是本发明另一实施例的信道资源的分配方法的示意性流程图。该方 法 40可以由数据传输过程中的接收方执行,例如,图 1所示的 AP 110或 STA 120。
401 , 第二设备从接入点获取调度信息。
例如, 第二设备可以为接入点本身, 这时第一设备可以为 STA, 或者第 一设备为 STA, 第二设备为接入点本身。
402, 第二设备接收至少一个竟争帧。
403 , 若第二设备根据调度信息, 被接入点预调度在第一信道的第一时 隙向至少一个第一设备发送数据,且至少一个竟争帧中的每一个竟争帧的发 送设备都属于接入点所在的基本服务集 BSS ,第二设备在第一信道的第一时 隙向至少一个第一设备发送数据。
本发明实施例的信道资源分配方法中, 调度模式与竟争模式相结合, 接 入点可以先对第二设备进行预调度。在第二设备接收到的竟争帧的发送设备 均属于其关联的接入点所在的 BSS时,第二设备在第一信道的第一时隙发送 数据。本发明实施例为在使用非授权频谱的通信系统引入调度模式提供了一 种可实现的方式, 有着较高的 MAC效率。
另外, 由第一设备(数据接收方)发送竟争帧, 而不需要第二设备发送 响应帧, 进而降低了系统的信令开销。
进一步地, 在各个接入点 AP使用调度模式, 但各个 AP之间不能进行 协作调度的场景下, 根据本发明实施例的方法, 可以在信道的一些时隙或每 个时隙划分出一部分时间用于竟争。 只有竟争成功时, 也即第二设备接收到 的竟争帧的发送设备均属于其关联的接入点所在的 BSS时,调度信息才能生 效。 这样, 可以减小各个非协作调度的 AP之间的相互干扰, 保证了网络正 常通信。 同时, 被调度到同一时隙进行数据传输进而需要信道竟争的设备数 量级小于非调度场景下的竟争设备数量级, 因而可以减小信道竟争带来的系 统开销。
应理解,在第二设备接收到至少一个竟争帧中的每一个竟争帧的发送设 备都属于同一个接入点所在的 BSS时,说明第一设备竟争成功,第二设备获 得一次发送机会, 按照调度信息在第一信道的第一时隙向第一设备发送数 据, 此时该调度信息生效。 相反地, 第二设备失去本次发送机会, 此时该调 度信息失效。
还应理解, 在 WALN网络中, 第二设备可以为 AP或者 STA。 相应地, 在第二设备从接入点获取调度信息时, 可以是 AP获取本地的调度信息, 也 可以是 STA从 AP接收调度信息。
还应理解, 竟争帧的发送设备属于该接入点所在的 BSS 是指该接入点 为该发送设备的服务接入点, 例如, 该发送设备关联到该接入点。
可选地, 作为一个实施例, 若至少一个竟争帧中的每一个竟争帧的发送 设备中有至少一个发送设备不属于接入点所在的 BSS,第二设备在第一信道 的第一时隙的数据传输时间保持静默。
这样, 在竟争失败时, 也即第二设备接收到的竟争帧的发送设备中至少 有一个不属于该接入点所在的 BSS时,第二设备在第一信道的第一时隙保持 静默, 不会对竟争成功的其它设备造成干扰。应理解,在本发明是实施例中, 竟争失败时并不影响第二设备在其它信道的数据传输。
可选地, 作为另一实施例, 若至少一个竟争帧中的每一个竟争帧的发送 设备中有至少一个发送设备不属于接入点所在的 BSS,第二设备请求接入点 重新调度。
例如, 如果接收到的第一个竟争帧的发送设备不属于接入点所在的 BSS, 第二设备向接入点发送反馈消息或者请求消息, 以请求接入点重新调 度。接入点接收到反馈消息或者请求消息后,重新为第二设备分配信道资源, 并下发调度信息。
可选地, 作为另一实施例, 在第二设备在第一信道的第一时隙的数据传 输时间保持静默时, 第二设备根据至少一个竟争帧设置网络分配矢量 NAV, 在 NAV对应的时间内, 第二设备不在第一信道发送数据。
可选地, 作为另一实施例, 第二设备根据至少一个竟争帧中的每一个竟 争帧的地址域, 确定每一个竟争帧的发送设备是否属于接入点所在的 BSS。
例如, 第二设备检测接收到的竟争帧的地址域, 如果该地址域与自己关 联 AP的 MAC地址相同, 则认为该竟争帧的发送设备属于该接入点所在的
BSS , 否则不属于该接入点所在的 BSS。
下面将结合具体的例子详细描述本发明实施例。 应注意, 这些例子只是 为了帮助本领域技术人员更好地理解本发明实施例, 而非限制本发明实施例 的范围。
图 5是本发明一个实施例的划分信道资源的示意图。
如图 5所示,信道资源的每个时隙划分为两部分,一部分用于数据传输, 一部分用于信道竟争, 数据传输时间的上行时隙和下行时隙交替出现。 使用 该信道资源的各个 AP预调度通信设备进行数据传输,各个 AP上下行同步。
这里以时隙 3为例进行说明, AP在时隙 2的数据传输时间内 (下行时 隙 )将调度信息下发到 STA, AP作为被预调度到时隙 3接收数据的设备, 根据该调度信息在时隙 2的竟争时间内发送竟争帧以竟争时隙 3。 在发送竟 争帧之前, AP可以先进行随机退避。 另外, 在时隙 2的下行时隙内, AP可 以同时下发时隙 4的调度信息。
被调度到时隙 3发送数据的 STA可能会接收到多个竟争帧, 这种情况 下, STA可以检测接收到的第一个竟争帧的地址域, 如果与自己关联的 AP 的 MAC地址相同, STA在时隙 3的数据传输时间发送数据。 否则, STA在 时隙 3的数据传输时间保持静默。 被预调度到时隙 4接收数据的 STA需要 在时隙 3的竟争时间内广播竟争帧, 以竟争时隙 4。 这种情况下, 需要在时 隙 2的数据传输时间 (下行时隙)与竟争时间之间插入上下行转换间隔。
图 6是本发明另一实施例的划分信道资源的示意图。
如图 6所示, 信道资源的上行时隙和下行时隙不是交替出现。 每个时隙 进一步划分为两部分, 一部分用于数据传输, 一部分用于信道竟争。 使用该 信道资源的各个 AP预调度通信设备进行数据传输, 各个 AP上下行同步。
这里以时隙 1为例进行说明, 假设时隙 1、 时隙 2和时隙 3的调度信息 都在时隙 1的头部或者上一个时隙的尾部下发。 这种情况下, 在对时隙进行 划分时, 将竟争时间放在数据传输时间之前, 被预调度到时隙 1接收数据的 STA在时隙 1的竟争时间发送竟争帧。 同样地, 在发送竟争帧之前, STA可 以进行随机退避。
被调度到时隙 1发送数据的 AP可能会接收到多个竟争帧,这种情况下, AP可以检测接收到的第一个竟争帧的地址域, 如果与自己的 MAC地址相 同, AP在时隙 1发送数据 (这时 AP可以按照调度信息向所有被调度到这
个信道上的 STA发送数据,而不是仅限于向该竟争帧的发送设备发送数据)。 否则, AP在时隙的数据传输时间内保持静默。
应理解, 图 5与图 6所示的信道资源划分方式仅仅是本发明实施例的两 种实施方式, 其它可预见的能够实现本发明实施例的方法的信道资源划分方 式都应落在本发明实施例的保护范围内。
图 7是本发明一个实施例的通信设备的示意性框图。图 7的通信设备 70 包括获取单元 701和发送单元 702。 例如, 通信设备 70可以为图 1所示的 AP 110或 STA 120。
获取单元 701 , 用于从接入点获取调度信息。
发送单元 702, 若通信设备根据调度信息, 被接入点预调度在第一信道 的第一时隙从第二设备接收数据, 用于在第一信道的第一时隙对应的数据传 输时间的起始时刻之前, 发送竟争帧, 以竟争第一信道的第一时隙。
在本发明实施例中, 调度模式与竟争模式相结合, 接入点可以先对通信 设备进行预调度, 通信设备根据调度信息, 在对应时隙进行数据传输的起始 时刻之前, 发送竟争帧, 以竟争该信道使用权, 减少了潜在的竟争设备数, 提高了效率。本发明实施例为在使用非授权频谱的通信系统引入调度模式提 供了一种可实现的方式, 有着较高的 MAC效率。
另外, 由第一设备(数据接收方)发送竟争帧, 而不需要第二设备发送 响应帧, 进而降低了系统的信令开销。
进一步地, 在各个接入点 AP使用调度模式, 但各个 AP之间不能进行 协作调度的场景下, 根据本发明实施例, 可以在信道的一些时隙或每个时隙 划分出一部分时间用于竟争。 只有竟争成功时, 调度信息才能生效。 这样, 可以减小各个非协作调度的 AP之间的相互干扰, 保证了网络正常通信。 同 时,被调度到同一时隙进行数据传输进而需要信道竟争的设备数量级小于非 调度场景下的竟争设备数量级, 因而可以减小信道竟争带来的系统开销。
应理解, 如果第一设备竟争成功, 第二设备获得一次发送机会, 按照调 度信息在第一信道的第一时隙向第一设备发送数据, 此时该调度信息生效。 相反地, 如果第一设备竟争失败, 第二设备失去本次发送机会, 此时该调度 信息失效。
还应理解, 在 WALN网络中, 通信设备可以为 AP或者 STA。 相应地, 在通信设备从接入点获取调度信息时, 可以是 AP获取本地的调度信息, 也
可以是 STA从 AP接收调度信息。
还应理解,通信设备发送竟争帧的时刻在第一信道的第一时隙对应的传 输数据的起始时刻之前, 这样, 在信道竟争成功时, 调度信息才能生效。 例 如, 在第一时隙划分为传输数据和信道竟争两部分时, 需要在第一时隙的传 输数据的起始时刻之前完成竟争。
可选地, 作为一个实施例, 该通信设备 70还包括: 控制单元 703 , 用于 控制通信设备进行随机退避或者根据业务优先级进行随机退避。
这样, 可以提高竟争效率, 尤其在按照业务优先级进行随机退避时, 更 利于优先级业务较高的设备竟争成功。
可选地, 作为另一实施例, 若通信设备未能在第一信道的第一时隙从第 二设备接收到数据, 发送单元 702, 还用于请求接入点重新调度。 在这种情 况下, 若通信设备未能在第一信道的第一时隙接收到数据, 说明通信设备本 次信道竟争失败, 请求接入点重新调度。
图 8是本发明另一实施例的通信设备的示意性框图。图 8的通信设备 80 包括获取单元 801、 接收单元 802和发送单元 803。 例如, 通信设备 80可以 为图 1所示的 AP 110或 STA 120。
获取单元 801 , 用于从接入点获取调度信息。
接收单元 802, 用于接收至少一个竟争帧。
发送单元 803 , 若第通信设备根据调度信息, 被接入点预调度在第一信 道的第一时隙向至少一个第一设备发送数据,且通信设备接收到的第一个竟 争帧的发送设备属于接入点所在的基本服务集 BSS,用于在第一信道的第一 时隙向至少一个第一设备发送数据。
在本发明实施例中, 调度模式与竟争模式相结合, 接入点可以先对通信 设备进行预调度。在通信设备接收到第一个竟争帧的发送设备属于同一个接 入点所在的 BSS时,通信设备在第一信道的第一时隙发送数据。本发明实施 例为在使用非授权频谱的通信系统引入调度模式提供了一种可实现的方式, 有着较高的 MAC效率。
另外, 由第一设备(数据接收方)发送竟争帧, 而不需要第二设备发送 响应帧, 进而降低了系统的信令开销。
进一步地, 在各个接入点 AP使用调度模式, 但各个 AP之间不能进行 协作调度的场景下, 根据本发明实施例, 可以在信道的一些时隙或每个时隙
划分出一部分时间用于竟争。 只有竟争成功时, 也即通信设备接收到第一个 竟争帧的发送设备属于同一个接入点所在的 BSS时,调度信息才能生效。这 样,可以减小各个非协作调度的 AP之间的相互干扰,保证了网络正常通信。 同时,被调度到同一时隙进行数据传输进而需要信道竟争的设备数量级小于 非调度场景下的竟争设备数量级, 因而可以减小信道竟争带来的系统开销。
应理解,在第二设备接收到第一个竟争帧的发送设备属于同一个接入点 所在的 BSS时, 说明第一设备竟争成功, 第二设备获得一次发送机会, 按照 调度信息在第一信道的第一时隙向第一设备发送数据, 此时该调度信息生 效。 相反地, 第二设备失去本次发送机会, 此时该调度信息失效。

还应理解,第一个竟争帧的发送设备属于该接入点所在的 BSS是指该接 入点为该发送设备的服务接入点, 例如, 该发送设备关联到该接入点。
可选地, 作为一个实施例, 该通信设备 80还包括: 控制单元, 若通信 设备接收到的第一个竟争帧的发送设备不属于接入点所在的 BSS,用于控制 通信设备在第一信道的第一时隙的数据传输时间保持静默。
这样, 在竟争失败时, 也即通信设备接收到的第一个竟争帧的发送设备 不属于该接入点所在的 BSS时, 通信设备在第一信道的第一时隙保持静默, 不会对竟争成功的其它设备造成干扰。 应理解, 在本发明是实施例中, 竟争 失败时并不影响第二设备在其它信道的数据传输。

另外, 由第一设备(数据接收方)发送竟争帧, 而不需要第二设备发送 响应帧, 进而降低了系统的信令开销。

具体地, 存储器 1005可存储执行以下过程的指令:
处理器 1004从接入点获取调度信息; 若根据调度信息, 接收机 1003被 接入点预调度在第一信道的第一时隙从第二设备接收数据,在第一信道的第 一时隙对应的数据传输时间的起始时刻之前, 发射机 1002发送竟争帧, 以
竟争第一信道的第一时隙。
在本发明实施例中, 调度模式与竟争模式相结合, 接入点可以先对通信 设备进行预调度, 通信设备根据调度信息, 在对应时隙进行数据传输的起始 时刻之前, 发送竟争帧, 以竟争该信道使用权, 减少了潜在的竟争设备数, 提高了效率。本发明实施例为在使用非授权频谱的通信系统引入调度模式提 供了一种可实现的方式, 有着较高的 MAC效率。
另外, 由第一设备(数据接收方)发送竟争帧, 而不需要第二设备发送 响应帧, 进而降低了系统的信令开销。
进一步地, 在各个接入点 AP使用调度模式, 但各个 AP之间不能进行 协作调度的场景下, 根据本发明实施例, 可以在信道的一些时隙或每个时隙 划分出一部分时间用于竟争。 只有竟争成功时, 调度信息才能生效。 这样, 可以减小各个非协作调度的 AP之间的相互干扰, 保证了网络正常通信。 同 时,被调度到同一时隙进行数据传输进而需要信道竟争的设备数量级小于非 调度场景下的竟争设备数量级, 因而可以减小信道竟争带来的系统开销。
应理解, 如果第一设备竟争成功, 第二设备获得一次发送机会, 按照调 度信息在第一信道的第一时隙向第一设备发送数据, 此时该调度信息生效。 相反地, 如果第一设备竟争失败, 第二设备失去本次发送机会, 此时该调度 信息失效。
还应理解, 在 WALN网络中, 通信设备可以为 AP或者 STA。 相应地, 在通信设备从接入点获取调度信息时, 可以是 AP获取本地的调度信息, 也 可以是 STA从 AP接收调度信息。
还应理解,通信设备发送竟争帧的时刻在第一信道的第一时隙对应的传 输数据的起始时刻之前, 这样, 在信道竟争成功时, 调度信息才能生效。 例 如, 在第一时隙划分为传输数据和信道竟争两部分时, 需要在第一时隙的传 输数据的起始时刻之前完成竟争。
可选地, 作为一个实施例, 存储器 1005还可存储执行以下过程的指令: 在发射机 1002发送竟争帧之前, 通信设备 100进行随机退避或者根据 业务优先级进行随机退避。
