Description

一种信道接入的方法、站点设备和接入点设备 技术领域
本发明涉及无线局域网技术领域,尤其涉及一种信道接入的方法、站点设备和接入点设备。
背景技术
无线局域网中的基站也被称为接入点(Access Point,简称:AP),现有的无线局域网协议中已经应用了单用户传输和下行多用户MIMO(Multiple-Input Multiple-Output,多输入多输出)技术,由于多数据帧检测技术的进一步发展,包括上行正交频分复用接入技术(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access,简称:OFDMA)和上行多用户MIMO(Multiple-Input Multiple-Output,多输入多输出)在内的上行多用户技术受到了更多关注,而在上行多用户技术中,获取上行多用户请求是为多用户分配信道的一个必要过程。
目前,获取上行多用户请求的做法是:在单信道上应用MIMO技术或正交频分复用技术(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple,简称:OFDM),即AP通过单信道发送控制帧,经过SIFS时间若信道空闲,接收到该控制帧的站点设备则发送请求操作帧(Request To Send,简称:RTS),当AP接收到该RTS时,则判定该STA有需要发送的缓存数据。这种获取上行多用户请求的方法,只适用于802.11a标准中的单信道通信,对于802.11n、802.11ac等标准中的多信道通信,如果仍然采用上述方式获取上行多用户请求,则STA接入网络的效率低。

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。
为了便于理解,请参阅图1,图1是本发明实施例提供的一种应用场景示意图。本应用场景包括1个AP和4个STA,可理解的是,在实际应用中可能存在更多或更少数目的STA,本发明不做限定,另外,对于多个AP的情形,可以针对每个AP和其覆盖的STA应用本发明。
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2,图2是本发明实施例提供的一种信道接入的方法流程示意图。本发明实施例是从STA角度描述的。如图2所示本发明实施例中的信道接入的方法可以包括:
S201,STA接收AP发送的询问消息帧,所述询问消息帧包括第一指示信息,所述第一指示信息用于指示该AP的可用信道,该AP的可用信道包括多个空闲单信道或多个空闲子信道。
询问消息帧(Request-Request To Send,简称:RRTX)包括第一指示信息,该第一指示信息用于指示该AP的可用信道,假设该AP可以在规定的13个信道上通信,但该AP侦听到在这13个信道中,只有3个是空闲,AP可以将该 3个信道作为可用信道;
其中,第一指示信息可以通过每个信道的中心频率指示可用信道;STA和AP也可以预先定义每个信道的识别号,第一指示信息可以通过识别号指示可用信道。
其中,单信道的带宽可以是20MHz、30MHz、80MHz或160MHz等,本发明实施例以20MHz为例;若将20MHz的信道在频域上划分为多个部分,每个部分即为一个子信道,例如,将20MHz的信道在频域上平均分成4个部分,即4个子信道,每个子信道的带宽为5MHz。
AP的可用信道可以只包括多个空闲单信道,也可以只包括多个空闲子信道,也可以同时包括多个空闲单信道和多个空闲子信道,AP的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。
需要指出的是,本发明实施例所提出的获取STA请求的方法流程只表示了基本服务集中同时执行的多个STA中的其中一个STA的处理流程,所述STA可以是其多个STA中的任一STA。
S202,STA在AP的可用信道中选择至少一个所述空闲单信道或至少一个所述空闲子信道向AP发送请求操作帧,所述请求操作帧包括第二指示信息,所述第二指示信息用于指示该STA的可用信道。
请求操作帧(Request To X,简称:RTX)表示请求某个操作,“X”表示该操作,如该操作为请求发送帧(英文:Request To Sent,简称:RTS),则RTX为RTS,需要说明的是,该操作具体不限定;
优选地,STA可以在第一指示信息指示的可用信道中,随机选择至少一个空闲单信道,或至少一个空闲子信道,或者至少一个空闲单信道和至少一个空闲子信道向AP发送RTX;
可选地,STA当接收到AP发送的RRTX时,可以侦听可用信道,再在侦听到的可用信道和第一指示信息指示的可用信道的交集信道中,随机选择至少一个空闲单信道,或至少一个空闲子信道,或者至少一个空闲单信道和至少一个空闲子信道向AP发送RTX;假设,第一指示信息指示的可用信道为信道2、 3和4,STA侦听到的可用信道为信道1、2和3,则交集信道为信道2和3,STA在信道2和3中随机选择至少一个信道发送RTX;
若STA只选择了一个信道,如一个空闲单信道,或者一个空闲子信道,STA则在该信道上发送RTX;若STA选择了多信道,如至少两个空闲单信道,或者至少两个空闲子信道,或者空闲单信道和空闲子信道的组合,STA则同时在该多个信道上发送RTX;
其中,RTX还可以包括该STA待发送的缓存数据的数据信息,该数据信息可以包括该缓存数据的业务类型(如语音或视频等)、数据长度、延时信息等,以使AP根据该数据信息为STA分配的信道更有利于该缓存数据的发送。
进一步可选地,当STA接收到AP发送的RRTX之后,该STA可以等待至少一个时间长度,才根据RRTX,选择反馈信道,其中,时间长度可以包括SIFS(英文:Short Inter-frame Space,中文:短帧间间隙)、PIFS(英文:PCF Inter-frame Space,中文:点帧间间隙)、DIFS(英文:Distributed Inter-frame Spacing,中文:分布式帧间间隙)和AIFS(英文:Arbitration Inter-frame Space,中文:仲裁帧间间隙)中的任意一种或组合。
在一种可选的实施方式中,当STA接收到AP发送的RRTX时,STA可以生成一个随机值,判断生成的所述随机值是否小于预设值,如果,生成的该随机值小于或等于所述预设值,STA才在AP的可用信道中选择至少一个所述空闲单信道或至少一个所述空闲子信道向AP发送RTX;如果,生成的随机值大于所述预设值,STA则结束本流程,减小了不同STA之间的数据冲突的概率,从而,提高了系统的效率。
其中,STA在判断生成的随机值是否小于预设值之前,还可以接收AP发送的携带所述预设值的信息,携带所述预设值的信息可以是RRTX,也可以是其他消息帧,本发明不做限定。
在另一种可选的实施方式中,当STA接收到AP发送的RRTX时,STA可以获取一个随机退避数,再将获取的该随机退避数作为退避计数器的初始值进行退避,其中,每空闲一个时隙,则该退避计数器的数值减一,当该退避计 数器的数值减为零时,STA才在AP的可用信道中选择至少一个所述空闲单信道或至少一个所述空闲子信道向AP发送RTX,通过退避,减小了不同STA之间的数据冲突的概率,从而,提高了系统的效率;
其中,STA可以在0~预设阈值内获取一个随机退避数,该预设阈值是可变的,STA可以根据最近一次发送RTX成功与否而改变该预设阈值的大小,例如,STA最近一次发送RTX失败,说明发送的RTX与其他STA发生送的RTX发生冲突,则增大该预设阈值,以减小获取到相同随机退避数的概率,进而,减少同时退避到零的STA的数目;AP也可以根据AP的可用信道的情况调整该预设阈值,例如,AP的可用信道较少,如小于预设信道阈值,AP可以增大该预设阈值,以减小获取到相同随机退避数的概率,进而,减少同时退避到零的STA的数目;
其中,每空闲一个时隙可以包括AP的可用信道全部空闲一个时隙,或者,AP的可用信道和STA的可用信道的交集信道全部空闲一个时隙,或者,AP的可用信道的主信道空闲一个时隙;
若STA在AP的可用信道的所有信道上退避,假设,该预设阈值为9,当STA接收到AP发送的RRTX时,STA可以在0~9内获取一个随机退避数,该随机退避数以6为例,STA将退避计数器的初始值设置为6进行退避,若当前时隙AP的可用信道的所有信道不是全部空闲,即至少一个空闲单信道或至少一个空闲子信道被占用,说明AP的可用信道已经被先退避到零的其他STA占用,STA则停止退避,结束本流程;若当前时隙AP的可用信道的所有信道都空闲,说明还没有其他STA先退避到零,则退避计数器减一;直到退避计数器减为零,STA才在AP的可用信道中选择至少一个所述空闲单信道或至少一个所述空闲子信道向AP发送RTX;
若STA在AP的可用信道和STA的可用信道的交集信道上退避,假设,该预设阈值为9,当STA接收到AP发送的RRTX时,STA可以在0~9内获取一个随机退避数,该随机退避数以6为例,STA将退避计数器的初始值设置为6进行退避,若当前时隙该交集信道不是全部空闲,即至少一个空闲单信道或 至少一个空闲子信道被占用,说明该交集信道已经被先退避到零的其他STA占用,STA则停止退避,结束本流程;若当前时隙该交集信道都空闲,说明还没有其他STA先退避到零,则退避计数器减一;直到退避计数器减为零,STA才在AP的可用信道中选择至少一个所述空闲单信道或至少一个所述空闲子信道向AP发送RTX;
若STA在AP的可用信道的主信道上退避,假设,该预设阈值为9,当STA接收到AP发送的RRTX时,STA可以在0~9内获取一个随机退避数,该随机退避数以6为例,STA将退避计数器的初始值设置为6进行退避,若当前时隙该主信道不是空闲,说明该主信道已经被先退避到零的其他STA占用,STA则停止退避,结束本流程;若当前时隙该主信道空闲,说明还没有其他STA先退避到零,则退避计数器减一;直到退避计数器减为零,STA才在AP的可用信道中选择至少一个所述空闲单信道或至少一个所述空闲子信道向AP发送RTX;
其中,若STA在AP的可用信道的主信道上退避,STA在AP的可用信道中选择的信道至少包括该主信道,或者该主信道中的至少一个子信道,也就是说,STA在AP的可用信道中选择的信道可以包括:所述主信道,或者所述主信道和至少一个从信道,或者所述主信道和从信道中的至少一个子信道,或者所述主信道中的至少一个子信道,或者所述主信道中的至少一个子信道和从信道中的至少一个子信道,或者所述主信道中的至少一个子信道和至少一个所述从信道;
STA在退避过程中要求退避信道全部空闲,在这种情况下,只有同时退避到零的STA才可以发起RTX,即所有的RTX都是同时发送的。反之,如果STA只是侦听到一个或者部分退避信道空闲就进行退避,会导致不同STA在不同时间发送的RTX。多个RTX不同时发送会给AP带来接收困难的问题。比如STA1首先在信道A上发送RTX1,过一段时间之后STA2在信道B上又发送RTX2,按照标准协议AP在接收完RTX1之后,间隔SIFS时间需要回复允许操作帧,但是此时RTX2还为接收完毕,而AP不具备同时进行发送和接 收的功能,因此就不能够即回复允许操作帧,又同时继续接收RTX2。总结一下就是,STA在退避过程中要求退避信道全部空闲,可以保证多个STA的RTX是同时发送的,保证了只有单工(一个时间只能进行发送或者接收)的AP能够顺利接收多个STA的RTX,并且顺利回复允许操作帧;
其中,退避信道可以包括AP的可用信道的所有信道,或者AP的可用信道和STA的可用信道的交集信道,或者AP的可用信道的主信道。
S203,STA接收AP发送的允许操作帧,该允许操作帧包括该AP为该STA分配的信道的信息;
允许操作帧(Clear To X,简称:CTX)表示允许某个操作,“X”表示该操作,如该操作为允许发送帧(英文:Clear To Sent,简称:CTS),则CTX为CTS,需要说明的是,该操作具体不限定;
其中,CTX可以通过每个信道的中心频率指示为STA分配的信道;STA和AP也可以预先定义每个信道的识别号,CTX也可以通过识别号指示为STA分配的信道。
如果,STA没有接收到AP发送的CTX,说明STA没有成功发送RTX,如STA发送的RTX与其他STA发送的RTX发送冲突,STA只有等待下一次AP发送的RRTX;
其中,AP如何根据接收的RTX为STA分配信道是本领域技术人员可理解的,在此不再赘述。
S204,STA在分配的信道上发送数据。
STA当接收到AP发送的CTX时,可以获取AP为STA分配的信道,再在该信道上发送待发送的缓存数据;
其中,STA当接收到AP发送的CTX时,还可以等待至少一个时间长度,在该信道上发送待发送的缓存数据,其中,所述时间长度包括SIFS、PIFS、DIFS和AIFS中的任意一种或组合。
在图2所示的实施例中,AP提供的可用信道包括多个空闲单信道或多个空闲子信道,STA在该可用信道中随机选择至少一条空闲单信道或至少一条空 闲子信道发送RTX,每次可以有多个STA可以同时反馈RTX,相比现有技术中,每次只能有一个STA反馈RTX而言,提高了AP为STA分配信道的效率,进而,提高了网络的接入效率,从而,提高了数据吞吐量。
请参阅图3,图3是本发明实施例提供的另一种信道接入的方法流程示意图。本发明实施例是从AP角度描述的。如图3所示本发明实施例中的信道接入的方法可以包括:
S301,AP通过可用信道发送询问消息帧,所述询问消息帧包括第一指示信息,所述第一指示信息用于指示AP的可用信道,AP的可用信道包括多个空闲单信道或多个空闲子信道。
具体地,当AP侦听到多个空闲单信道或多个空闲子信道时,AP可以通过至少一个空闲单信道或空闲子信道发送RRTX,该RRTX用于指示该AP的可用信道,假设,协议规定该AP可以在规定的13个信道上通信,但该AP侦听到在这13个信道中,只有3个是空闲,AP可以将该3个信道作为可用信道;
其中,RRTX可以通过每个信道的中心频率指示可用信道;STA和AP也可以预先定义每个信道的识别号,RRTX通过识别号指示可用信道。
其单信道的带宽可以是20MHz、30MHz、80MHz或160MHz等,本发明实施例以20MHz为例;若将20MHz的信道在频域上划分为多个部分,每个部分即为一个子信道,每个子信道的带宽为5MHz。
AP的可用信道可以只包括多个空闲单信道,也可以只包括多个空闲子信道,也可以同时包括多个空闲单信道和多个空闲子信道,AP的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,AP可以同时在所有的所述空闲单信道或所述空闲子信道上发送RRTX,通过占用侦听到的可用信道,以避免被其他AP占用;
其中,该可用信道可以是预留信道,也就是说,当AP侦听到多个空闲信道时,先发送通知帧告知其他设备其空闲信道在指定时间段内被占用,那么, 其他设备在该指定时间段内,即使检测到该空闲信道,也不会占用该空闲信道。
进一步地,AP还可以向STA发送预设值;其中,AP可以通过RRTX发送该预设值,也可以通过其他消息帧发送预设值,本发明不做限定;其中,AP可以在对预设值进行调整时,才向STA发送该预设值,也可以,每次向STA发送RRTX时就发送。
S302,AP接收至少一个STA发送的RTX,每个RTX包括第二指示信息,该第二指示信息用于指示STA的可用信道。
第二指示信息用于指示其STA侦听到的可用信道,可以通过每个信道的中心频率指示可用信道;STA和AP预先定义每个信道的识别号,也可以通过识别号指示可用信道。
S303,AP根据接收的RTX为对应的STA分配信道。
具体地,当AP接收到至少一个STA发送的RTX时,AP可以根据每个RTX携带的第二指示信息,为对应的STA分配信道。
进一步地,每个所述RTX还包括对应STA的缓存数据的数据信息,AP可以根据各个STA的第二指示信息和缓存数据的数据信息为各个STA分配信道,使AP为各个RTX分配的信道有利于各个RTX的缓存数据的传输。
S304,AP向各个STA发送CTX,该CTX包括AP为各个STA分配的信道的信息,以使各个STA在分配的信道上发送数据。
具体地,AP可以通过以下三种方式中的任一种方式向各个STA发送CTX:
第一种,通过接收各个STA的RTX的信道,向对应的STA发送CTX。请参阅图4,图4是本发明实施例提供的一种信道分配的示意图,如图4所示,AP的可用信道包括3个空闲单信道,假设由上到下依次为,信道1、信道2和信道4,信道3处于繁忙状态,且AP通过信道1接收STA1的RTX1,通过信道2接收STA2的RTX2,通过信道4接收STA3的RTX3,则AP可以通过信道1向STA1发送CTX1,通过信道2向STA2发送CTX2,通过信道4向STA3发送CTX3,各个CTX中包括为对应STA分配的信道的信息;
第二种,AP可以通过为各个STA分配的信道,向各个STA发送允许操 作帧;请参阅图5,图5是本发明实施例提供的另一种信道分配的示意图,如图5所示,AP的可用信道包括3个空闲单信道,假设由上到下依次为,信道1、信道2和信道4,信道3处于繁忙状态,且AP通过信道1接收STA1的RTX1,通过信道2接收STA2的RTX2,由于,信道4上的RTX3和RTX4发生冲突,AP无法接收信道4上的信息,因此,AP只为STA1和STA1分配信道,假设,AP为STA1分配的信道为信道1和信道2,为STA2分配的信道为信道4,则AP可以通过信道1和信道2向STA1发送CTX1,通过信道4向STA2发送CTX2,各个CTX中包括为对应STA分配的信道的信息;
第三种,AP通过AP的可用信道,以聚合的形式给所有成功发送RTX的STA发送CTX,即在AP的可用信道的每个信道上同时发送相同的CTX,该CTX包括AP为每个成功发送RTX的STA分配的信道的信息,如图5所示,STA1和STA2为成功发送RTX的STA,STA3和STA4由于发送的RTX3和RTX4发生冲突,因此,STA1和STA2不是成功发送RTX的STA;具体地,当AP为每个成功发送RTX的STA分配信道之后,AP可以生成CTX,该CTX携带的AP为每个成功发送RTX的STA分配的信道的信息,再在AP的可用信道的所有信道上同时发送该CTX。
需要说明的是,AP为STA发送CTX的方式包括但不仅限于以上3种。
在图3所示的实施例中,AP可以为STA提供多个空闲单信道或多个空闲子信道,进而,AP每次可以接收多个STA同时反馈RTX,相比现有技术中,每次只能接收一个STA反馈的RTX而言,提高了AP为STA分配信道的效率,进而,提高了网络的接入效率,从而,提高了数据吞吐量。
