Description

一种获取站点设备请求的方法、接入点设备及站点设备 技术领域
本发明涉及无线局域网技术领域,尤其涉及一种获取站点设备请求的方法、接入点设备及站点设备。
背景技术
无线局域网(英文:Wireless Local Access Network,简称:WLAN)中的基站也被称为接入点设备(英文:Access Point,简称:AP),目前WLAN系统中通常采用正交频分复用技术(英文:Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple,简称:OFDM)传输。但为了提高系统的效率,正在考虑将上行正交频分复用接入技术OFDMA(英文:Orthogonal Frequency Division MultipleAccess,简称:OFDMA)和上行多用户MIMO(Multiple-Input Multiple-Output,多输入多输出)等上行多用户技术纳入标准中。而在上行多用户技术中一个需要解决的问题是,AP如何获取站点设备(英文:Station,简称:STA)的上行数据请求。
现有多种技术用于获取STA的上行数据请求。
第一种,通过随机竞争方式以获取上行数据请求,随机竞争方式由于不需要中心站点设备对网络进行控制,所以结构简单,组网灵活,被广泛的应用于分布式方式的网络中,但当系统负载很大,竞争增多时,冲突避免比较困难,无法满足特定业务的接入需求;
第二种,通过轮询方式以获取上行数据请求,即通过AP来指定多个STA在指定的子信道上通过OFDMA的方式发送上行数据请求,这种由于不知道哪些STA有缓存数据而盲目地进行轮询,就会由于AP轮询大量没有上行数据的STA而降低系统效率。

具体实施方式
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,所描述的实施例仅仅是本发明一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。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前提下所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本发明保护的范围。
本发明实施例可以应用于无线局域网,所述无线局域网可以为包含接入点的基本服务集(简称:BSS,英文:Basic Service Set)。应理解地,在WIFI(英文:Wireless Fidelity,中文:无线保真)系统的基础网络结构下,网络中可以包括多个基本服务集,每个基本服务集可以包含一个接入点设备(英文:Access Point,简称AP)和多个关联于该AP的站点设备(英文:Station,简称STA)。
所述AP也称之为无线访问接入点或热点等。AP是移动用户进入有线网络的接入点,主要部署于家庭、大楼内部以及园区内部,典型覆盖半径为几十米至上百米,也可以部署于户外。AP相当于一个连接有线网和无线网的桥梁,其主要作用是将各个无线网络客户端连接到一起,然后将无线网络接入以太网。
AP主要采用的标准为IEEE(英文:Institute of Electrical and Electronics  Engineers,中文:电气和电子工程师协会)802.11系列。具体地,AP可以是带有WIFI芯片的终端设备或者网络设备。可选地,AP可以为支持802.11ax制式的设备。进一步可选地,该AP可以为支持802.11ac、802.11n、802.11g、802.11b及802.11a等多种WLAN(英文:Wireless Local Area Network,中文:无线局域网)制式的设备。
所述STA可以是无线通讯芯片、无线传感器或无线通信终端。例如:支持WIFI通讯功能的移动电话、支持WIFI通讯功能的平板电脑、支持WIFI通讯功能的机顶盒和支持WIFI通讯功能的计算机。可选地,站点可以支持802.11ax制式,进一步可选地,该站点支持802.11ac、802.11n、802.11g、802.11b及802.11a等多种WLAN制式。
目前WLAN使用的20MHz、40MHz、80MHz、160MHz(80+80MHz)其中的一种带宽,但由于本发明与单个信道或者多个信道的实际带宽没有必然关系,因此对于其它的带宽也可用于本发明的实施方式。本发明中以带宽为20MHZ的信道作为单信道、多于20MHz整数倍信道作为多信道为例阐述。
下面结合具体实施例,进一步阐明本发明,应理解为这些实施例仅用于说明本发明而不用于限制本发明的范围,在阅读了本发明之后,本领域技术人员对本发明的各种等价形式的修改均落于本申请所附权利要求所限定的范围。
请参阅图1,图1是本发明实施例提供的一种获取站点设备请求的方法示意图。本发明实施例是从接入点设备角度描述的。如图1所示本发明实施例中的获取站点设备请求的方法可以包括:
S11,接入点设备向站点设备发送控制帧,所述控制帧包含设备指示信息以及可用信道的分配信息,所述设备指示信息用于指示调度站点设备,所述分配信息包括为各个所述调度站点设备分配调度信道的信息以及为非调度站点设备分配的可选择的随机竞争信道的信息。
所述可用信道可以是连续的信道,也可以是离散的信道,本发明不做限定。
可选地,所述非调度站点设备可以包括基本服务集中,除去所述设备指示 信息指示的调度站点设备以外的站点设备,假设,基本服务集中包括STA1、STA2、STA3、STA4以及STA5,所述设备指示信息指示STA1和STA2为调度站点设备,则STA3、STA4以及STA5则为非调度站点设备,也就是说,STA3、STA4以及STA5可以通过随机竞争接入信道;
进一步地,所述设备指示信息还用于指示非调度站点设备,则所述非调度站点设备通过所述设备指示信息确定,假设,基本服务集中仍包括STA1、STA2、STA3、STA4以及STA5,所述设备指示信息指示STA1和STA2为调度站点设备,STA3和STA4为非调度站点设备,也就是说,STA5不能接入信道,通过控制随机竞争的站点设备,可以有效控制数据碰撞的概率,从而,进一步提高系统的效率。
可选地,所述接入点设备可以根据各个站点设备的业务的优先级,在各个所述站点设备中选择调度站点设备,再为各个所述调度站点设备分配对应的调度信道,所述随机竞争信道为所述可用信道除去所述调度信道部分,通过站点设备的业务的优先级选择调度站点设备,确保了高优先级业务的接入需求。
如果,所述可用信道包括一个空闲信道,即一个20MHz的空闲信道,所述接入点设备可以将所述空闲信道的一部分子信道作为调度信道,将所述空闲信道的剩余部分子信道作为所述随机竞争信道,其中,所述子信道的划分可以是标准定义的,也可以是所述接入点设备划分的,本发明不做限定;
如图2所示,假设,所述空闲信道被划分为8个子信道,STA1-2为调度站点设备,STA3-6为非调度站点设备,所述接入点设备可以将子信道1作为调度信道分配给STA1,将子信道2作为调度信道分配给STA2,剩余的子信道3-8作为可选择的随机竞争信道。
如果,所述可用信道包括至少两个空闲信道,所述接入点设备可以将所述至少两个空闲信道中的一部分所述空闲信道作为所述调度信道,将剩余的所述空闲信道作为所述随机竞争信道;
进一步地,若所述可用信道包括一个预设的主信道和至少一个从信道,所述接入点设备可以将所述主信道作为所述调度信道,将所述至少一个从信道作 为所述随机竞争信道;
再进一步地,所述至少两个空闲信道中的每个所述空闲信道可以包括多个子信道,所述接入点设备可以将其中一部分所述空闲信道的全部子信道作为所述调度信道,将剩余的所述空闲信道的全部子信道作为所述随机竞争新道;
以两个空闲信道为例,假设,其中一个空闲信道为主信道,另一个空闲信道为从信道,如图3所示,每个空闲信道被划分为8个子信道,STA11-18为调度站点设备,STA21-27为非调度站点设备,所述接入点设备可以将主信道的8个子信道作为调度信道分别分配给STA11-18,将从信道的8个子信道作为可选择的随机竞争信道。
如果,所述可用信道包括至少两个空闲信道,所述接入点设备还可以将每个所述空闲信道的一部分子信道作为所述调度信道,将每个所述空闲信道剩余的子信道作为所述随机竞争信道;
仍以两个空闲信道为例,假设,其中一个空闲信道为主信道,另一个空闲信道为从信道,且每个空闲信道被划分为8个子信道,STA11-12、STA21-22为调度站点设备,STA13-16、STA23-26为非调度站点设备,所述接入点设备可以以以下两种方式中的任一种方式分配调度信道:
第一,每个空闲信道上用于调度的子信道的位置相同,如图4所示,所述接入点设备将主信道的子信道1和子信道2分配给调度站点设备STA11-12,同样,将从信道的子信道1和子信道2分配给调度站点设备STA21-22,剩余子信道作为随机竞争信道;
第二,每个空闲信道上用于调度的子信道的位置不相同,例如,所述接入点设备将主信道的子信道1和子信道2分配给调度站点设备STA11-12,将从信道的子信道3和子信道4分配给调度站点设备STA21-22,剩余子信道作为随机竞争信道。
所述控制帧可以如表1所示,其中,所述设备指示信息可以通过Scheduled STAs字段表示,用于指示调度的站点设备,例如,STA1和STA2为调度信道,Scheduled STAs字段中可以包括STA1和STA2的设备标识信息;
