Abstract
本发明提供一种数据并行传输的方法和设备。该方法包括:第二AP接收第一AP发送的SYN-RTS帧;所述第二AP根据SYN-RTS帧、第一AP的天线数量、第二AP的天线数量和第二AP将要调度的第二STA的天线数量,确定向第一AP发送SYN-CTS帧;第二AP根据SYN-CTS帧所指示的内容调度所述第二STA,与所述第一AP并行进行下行数据传输。本发明实施例提供的方法,可以保证系统中数据流的增益。
Description
本发明涉及通信技术,尤其涉及一种数据并行传输的方法和设备。
现有的无线保真(Wireless Fidelity,以下简称WiFi)技术采用带碰撞避免的载波侦听多址接入(Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance简称CSMA/CA)协议以实现干扰避免,让通过竞争首先获得信道使用权的通信对独占信道资源。只有该通信对通信完毕,周围其他的通信对才可竞争该信道。这种方式对正在通信的链路实现了较好的保护,但在高密度组网情况下,其频谱效率受到了很大的限制。因此,控制干扰让相邻通信链路实现并发通信从而提高频谱效率在高密度WIFI组网场景下具有重要的意义。
但在高密度组网情况下,特别是两个基础服务集合(Basic Service Set,简称BSS)大部分重叠的情况下,由于存在双向的交叉干扰要实现并发通信尤其困难,参见图1所示,BSS1的覆盖区域内包括无线访问接入点(Wireless Access Point,简称AP)1,BSS2的覆盖区域内包括AP2,且BSS1和BSS2在覆盖区域上部分重叠,AP1下覆盖有站点(Station,简称STA)1、STA2和STA3,AP2覆盖有STAa、STAb和STAc,交叉干扰即AP1与AP2并行进行数据传输时,AP1与STA1、STA2和STA3进行数据交互时会给AP2及其覆盖下的站点带来干扰,且AP2与STAa、STAb和STAc进行数据交互时会给AP1及其覆盖下的站点带来干扰。现有技术中,为了能够进行并行传输,常采用发送端联合波束成形或干扰对齐的方式来处理交叉干扰。
但是,现有技术消除干扰的方式单一,无法保证并行传输时的数据流增益。

为使本发明实施例的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚,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。
本发明实施例涉及的方法,可以适用于无线保真(Wireless Fidelity,以下简称WIFI)下行多用户多输入多输出(Multi-User Multiple-Input Multiple-Output,以下简称MU-MIMO)系统,可以参见图2所示的MU-MIMO系统,该MU-MIMO系统包括第一基础服务集合(Basic Service Set,简称BSS)和第二BSS,所述第一BSS覆盖区域和所述第二BSS覆盖区域部分重叠,第一无线接入点(Access Point,以下简称AP)位于第一BSS的覆盖区域内,第二AP位于上述第二BSS的覆盖区域内,所述第一AP服务第一站点(Station,简称STA),所述第二AP服务第二STA。需要说明的是,第一BSS覆盖区域内可以包括一个第一AP,第二BSS覆盖区域内可以包括一个第二AP,并且该系统中可以包括一个第二BSS,也可以包括多个第二BSS;第一AP可以服务于一个或多个第一STA,第二AP可以服务于一个或多个第二STA。
图2所示的系统网络拓扑图仅是一种示例,图2中,第一BSS覆盖区域内包括一个第一AP,第二BSS覆盖区域内包括一个第二AP,且第一AP和第二AP位于第一BSS和第二BSS的重叠区域内,第一AP服务于四个第一
STA,分别是STA1、STA2、STA3和STA4,第二AP服务于四个第二STA,分别是STA5、STA6、STA7和STA8。第一AP与第二AP并行进行数据传输时,第一AP与STA1、STA2、STA3和STA4进行数据交互时会给第二AP及其覆盖下的站点带来干扰,且第二AP与STA5、STA6、STA7和STA8进行数据交互时,会给第一AP及其覆盖下的站点带来干扰。可选的,上述第二AP可以为多个第二BSS覆盖区域内的任一个会对第一AP下的第一STA带来交叉干扰的AP,也就是说第二AP也可以不位于图2所示的重叠区域。可选的,第二AP还可以为第一AP从多个第二BSS的覆盖区域内确定的天线数量小于第一AP的天线数量并且位于图2中的重叠区域中的AP。本发明实施例以位于重叠区域并且天线数量小于第一AP的天线数量的第二AP为例。
本发明实施例涉及的方法,具体可以解决现有技术中消除交叉干扰的方式单一,无法保证并行传输时的数据流增益的技术问题。下面以具体地实施例对本发明的技术方案进行详细说明。下面这几个具体的实施例可以相互结合,对于相同或相似的概念或过程可能在某些实施例不再赘述。
图3为本发明实施例提供的数据并行传输的方法实施例一的流程示意图。如图3所示,该方法包括:
S101:第二AP接收所述第一AP发送的同步请求发送(Synchronize Request To Send,简称SYN-RTS)帧;所述SYN-RTS帧用于向所述第二AP指示所述第一AP的工作模式受限情况以及所述第一AP将要调度的第一STA的天线数量。
具体的,第一AP通过信道竞争获得信道使用权之后,会根据第一AP下的第一STA的受干扰情况确定下行同步传输合作对象,本实施例中,第一AP确定可能会给第一AP下的第一STA带来干扰的第二AP为下行同步传输合作对象,并向该第二AP发送SYN-RTS帧。
第二AP接收到该SYN-RTS帧后,根据该SYN-RTS帧获知第一AP的工作模式受限情况,即获知第一AP的工作模式偏好,例如第一AP仅支持工作在IA模式或者第一AP对工作模式没有限制。第二AP还可以根据该SYN-RTS帧获知第一AP将要调度的第一STA的数量。按照上述图2所示,假设第一AP将要调度自己所服务的所有的第一STA。
S102:第二AP根据所述SYN-RTS帧、所述第一AP的天线数量、所述第二AP的天线数量和所述第二AP将要调度的第二STA的天线数量,确定向所述第一AP发送同步允许发送(Synchronize Clear To Send,简称SYN-CTS)帧。
其中,所述SYN-CTS帧用于向所述第一AP指示所述第一AP的工作模式、所述第一AP所能调度的第一STA的最大数量、所述第一AP所能调度的下行数据流的最大数量以及所述第一AP工作在干扰对齐(Interference Alignment,简称IA)模式时预留给所述第二AP收发数据的第一预留方向的数量、所述第二AP的工作模式、所述第二AP所能调度的第二STA的最大数量、所述第二AP所能调度的下行数据流的最大数量和所述第二AP工作在IA模式时预留给所述第一AP收发数据的第二预留方向的数量。
具体的,第二AP可以结合上述SYN-RTS帧、第一AP的天线数量、第二AP的天线数量和第二AP将要调度的第二STA的天线数量,确定是否向第一AP发送SYN-CTS帧。可选的,第二AP可以结合上述SYN-RTS帧、第一AP的天线数量、第二AP的天线数量和第二AP将要调度的第二STA的天线数量判断自身当前是否支持与第一AP进行并行传输,当第二AP判断自身可以与第一AP进行下行并行传输时,第二AP确定向第一AP发送SYN-CTS帧;并且,第二AP可以通过SYN-CTS帧告知第一AP适合于第一AP当前通信场景下的工作模式;还可以通过该SYN-CTS帧告知第一AP所能调度的第一STA的最大数量,例如:上述第一AP通过SYN-RTS帧告知第二AP自身将要调度所覆盖的所有第一STA,但是第二AP结合第一AP的天线数量和第二AP的天线数量以及第二AP将要调度的第二STA的天线数量确定第一AP当前只能调度3个第一STA,则第二AP将该第一AP所能调度的第一STA的最大数量携带在SYN-CTS帧中发送给第一AP,假设第一AP可以调度的第一STA为STA1、STA2和STA3;第二AP还可以结合上述SYN-RTS帧、第一AP的天线数量、第二AP的天线数量和第二AP将要调度的第二STA的天线数量确定第一AP所能调度的下行数据流的最大数量,并通过SYN-CTS帧告知给第一AP;第二AP还可以确定第一AP工作在IA模式时可以预留给第二AP收发数据的第一预留方向的数量,并通过SYN-CTS帧中告知给第一AP。可选的,上述第一AP的天线数量、第二AP
的天线数量和第二AP将要调度的第二STA的天线数量,第二AP均是预知的,或者,第二AP可以通过侦听探测的方式获知这些信息。可选的,上述第二AP将要调度的第二STA的天线数量,可以是第二AP将要调度的每个第二STA上的天线数量,还可以是第二AP将要调度的所有第二STA中的最小天线数量。
第一AP接收第二AP发送的SYN-CTS帧,并通过该SYN-CTS帧获知第一AP的工作模式、第一AP所能调度的第一STA的最大数量、第一AP所能调度的下行数据流的最大数量以及第一AP工作在干扰对齐IA模式时所能预留给第二AP收发数据的第一预留方向的数量,第一AP根据该SYN-CTS帧确定如何调度第一STA,并与所调度的第一STA进行数据传输。需要说明的是,第一预留方向是第一AP预留给第二AP进行收发数据的方向,在该第一预留方向上时,第一AP虽然也会收发数据,但是,由于第一AP传输的数据与该方向的正交性,在该第一预留方向上第一AP所传输的数据即为空,也就是说最终在第一AP与第二AP并行传输数据时,该第一预留方向上只有第二AP所传输的数据,第一AP和第二AP在该方向上是可以互不干扰的。故,第二AP要告知第一AP留给第二AP收发数据的第一预留方向的数量,以便于后面的两个AP进行下行并行传输。
当然,第二AP工作在IA模式时也会给第一AP收发数据预留第二预留方向,在该第二预留方向上时,第二AP也会收发数据,但是,由于第二AP传输的数据与该方向的正交性,因此在理想情况下,在该第二预留方向上第二AP所传输的数据即为空,也就是说最终在第一AP与第二AP并行传输数据时,该第二预留方向上只有第一AP所传输的数据,第一AP和第二AP在该第二预留方向上也是可以互不干扰的(一般情况下,由于信道探测有误差,量化误差等情况,第二AP对第一AP在该第二预留方向上可能还是会存在一定干扰的,但是该干扰会比较小,并且在可以接受的范围内)。因此,第二AP也可以通过上述SYN-CTS帧告知第一AP第二预留方向的数量。并且,第二AP还可以通过上述SYN-CTS帧告知第一AP当前第二AP的工作模式、第二AP所能调度的第二STA的数量和第二AP所能调度的下行数据流的最大数量,以便于第一AP得知第二BSS下的数据传输情况,进而得知第二BSS可能会对其本身造成的干扰,从而可以辅助后续信道侦听等流程进行交叉干
扰的消除。
S103:第二AP根据所述SYN-CTS帧所指示的内容调度所述第二STA,与所述第一AP并行进行下行数据传输。
具体的,第二AP将上述SYN-CTS帧发送给第一AP,不仅可以告知第二AP在数据传输时的相关信息(例如上述的第二AP的工作模式、第二AP所能调度的第二STA的最大数量、第二AP所能调度的下行数据流的最大数量和第二AP工作在IA模式时预留给第一AP收发数据的第二预留方向的数量),还可以根据该SYN-CTS帧所指示的内容确定如何调度第二STA,从而与第一AP并行进行下行数据传输。
现有技术中,在两个AP并行进行下行数据传输时,为了消除交叉干扰,两个AP往往采用单一的工作模式,例如采用单一的IA模式或者单一的(Beamforming,简称BF)模式,但是所采用的单一的工作模式往往不是最适合当前通信场景的工作模式。例如,当发送端天线数较多时,系统往往采用BF工作模式,但是BF工作模式往往带来的数据增益较小,根据无法保证当前的通信发展对数据增益的要求;又例如,为了获得较高的数据增益,系统采用单一的IA模式,虽然IA模式可以获得高的数据增益,但IA模式在一些天线配置场景中根本不可用,若在不可用IA模式的天线配置场景中继续使用IA模式,往往导致系统通信质量下降,数据增益急剧下降,从而也无法保证系统的数据增益。但是,在本发明实施例中,第二AP通过根据第一AP上报的SYN-RTS帧所指示的内容,确定适合于第二AP与第一AP当前天线配置场景下的工作模式(即该工作模式是根据第一AP和第二AP当前的天线配置场景确定的),从而使得第二AP和第一AP可以根据上述所确定的SYN-CTS帧中的内容进行相应的STA调度以及下行数据传输,故,本发明实施例提供的方法,所确定的两个AP的工作模式是与当前两个AP的天线配置适配的模式,因此可以保证系统的数据流增益
本发明实施例提供的数据并行传输的方法,第二AP通过接收第一AP发送的SYN-RTS帧,并通过该SYN-RTS帧确定向第一AP发送SYN-CTS帧,从而使得第一AP和第二AP均获知与当前的天线配置场景适配的工作模式,进而使得第一AP根据上述SYN-CTS帧所指示的内容调度第一STA,第二AP通过上述SYN-CTS所指示的内容帧调度第二STA。本发明实施例提供的
方法,第二AP通过根据第一AP上报的SYN-RTS帧中的内容,确定适合于第二AP与第一AP当前天线配置场景下的工作模式,从而使得第二AP和第一AP可以根据上述所确定的SYN-CTS帧中的内容进行相应的STA调度以及下行数据传输,进而可以保证系统的数据流增益。
作为本发明实施例的一种可能的实施方式,可选的,上述SYN-RTS帧可以包括媒体接入控制报文头(Media Access Control Header,简称MAC Header)信息、仅限干扰对齐(Interference Alignment Only,简称IA_ONLY)信息、基础服务集调度的站点的天线数量(BSS Station Antenna Number,简称BSS_STA_ATN_NUM)信息和帧校验序列(Frame Check Sequence,简称FCS),其中,所述IA_ONLY信息用于向所述第二AP指示所述第一AP的工作模式受限情况,所述BSS_STA_ATN_NUM用于向所述第二AP指示所述第一AP将要调度的第一STA的天线数量。该SYN-RTS帧的结构可以参见下述表1所示:
表1
MAC Header | IA_ONLY | BSS_STA_ATN_NUM | FCS |
具体的,以图2为例,第一AP(天线数量为M1)竞争获得信道使用权后,可以根据其收集的第二AP的天线数信息(M2)选择处于其覆盖区域且天线数≥M1的第二AP作为其下行同步传输合作对象,该天线数信息可由第一AP在空闲时通过第二AP发送的信标帧(beacon)等的能力信息获得。
然后,第一AP给第二AP发送SYN-RTS帧。该SYN-RTS帧携带IA_ONLY信息和BSS_STA_ATN_NUM信息。其中,IA_ONLY信息和BSS_STA_ATN_NUM信息均可以以字段的形式在SYN-RTS帧中体现。可选的,IA_ONLY字段(或者IA_ONLY信息)可以为1比特,当IA_ONLY=1时,表示第一AP只愿意工作在IA模式,当IA_ONLY=0表示第一AP对工作模式无限制。可选的,上述BSS_STA_ATN_NUM字段(或者BSS_STA_ATN_NUM信息)可以为4比特,用于向第二AP指示第一AP将要调度的第一STA的天线数量。上述表1中的MAC Header为MAC帧的帧头,FCS为对帧的内容进行校验保护的序列。
作为本发明实施例的另一种可能的实施方式,在上述实施例的基础上,可选的,上述SYN-CTS帧可以包括MAC Header信息、第一部分、第二部分
和FCS,具体可以参照下述表2所示的帧结构:
表2
MAC Header | MODE | DIR_NUM | STA_NUM | STREAM_NUM | MODE | DIR_NUM | STA_NUM | STREAM_NUM | FCS |
具体的,表2中,靠近MAC Header的前面的MODE、预留方向数量Direction Reserved Number,简称DIR_NUM)、站点数量(Station Number,简称STA_NUM)和数据流数量(Stream Number,简称STREAM_NUM)为上述SYN-CTS帧的第一部分的内容,对应于第一AP,即前面的MODE为第一MODE信息,前面的DIR_NUM为第一DIR_NUM信息,前面的STA_NUM为第一STA_NUM,前面的STREAM_NUM为第一STREAM_NUM;后面的MODE、DIR_NUM、STA_NUM和STREAM_NUM为上述SYN-CTS帧的第二部分的内容,对应于第二AP,即后面的MODE为第二MODE信息,后面的DIR_NUM为第二DIR_NUM信息,后面的STA_NUM为第二STA_NUM,后面的STREAM_NUM为第二STREAM_NUM。需要说明的是,上述MODE信息、DIR_NUM信息、STA_NUM信息和STREAM_NUM信息均可以以字段的形式在帧中体现。
其中,所述第一MODE信息用于向所述第一AP指示所述第一AP的工作模式,所述第一DIR_NUM信息用于向所述第一AP指示所述第一预留方向的数量,所述第一STA_NUM信息用于向所述第一AP指示所述第一AP所能调度的第一STA的最大数量,所述第一STREAM_NUM用于向所述第一AP指示所述第一AP所能调度的下行数据流的最大数量;所述第二MODE信息用于向所述第一AP指示所述第二AP的工作模式,所述第二DIR_NUM信息用于向所述第一AP指示所述第二AP工作在IA模式时预留给所述第一AP收发数据的第二预留方向的数量,所述第二STA_NUM信息用于向所述第一AP指示所述第二AP所能调度的第二STA的最大数量,所述第二STREAM_NUM用于向所述第一AP指示所述第二AP所能调度的下行数据流的最大数量。
表2中,第一MODE字段(或者第一MODE信息)和第二MODE字段(或者第二MODE信息)可以为1比特,当第一MODE字段的值为1时,指示第一
AP工作于IA模式,当第一MODE字段的值为0时,指示第一AP工作于BF模式;当第二MODE字段的值为1时,指示第二AP工作于IA模式,当第二MODE字段的值为0时,指示第二AP工作于BF模式。
第一DIR_NUM字段(或者第一DIR_NUM信息)和第二DIR_NUM字段(或者第二DIR_NUM信息)可以为4比特,当第一AP工作在BF模式时,第一DIR_NUM字段的值为0,当第二AP工作在BF模式时,第二DIR_NUM字段的值为0。需要说明的是,当第一AP工作在BF模式时,第一DIR_NUM字段的值为0,只是说明该第一DIR_NUM字段可以不需要指示;当第二AP工作在BF模式时,第二DIR_NUM字段的值为0,也只是说明该第二DIR_NUM字段可以不需要指示。
第一STA_NUM字段(或者第一STA_NUM信息)和第二STA_NUM字段(或者第二STA_NUM信息)可以为4比特,当第一AP工作于IA模式时,第二STA_NUM字段为大于0的值;当第一AP工作于BF模式时,第二STA_NUM字段为0值(或不对第二STA_NUM字段进行指示);当第二AP工作于IA模式时,第一STA_NUM字段为大于0的值;当第二AP工作于BF模式时,第一STA_NUM字段为0值(或不对第一STA_NUM字段进行指示)。
第一STREAM_NUM字段(或者第一STREAM_NUM信息)和第二STREAM_NUM字段(或者第二STREAM_NUM信息)可以为3比特,分别指示第一AP和第二AP所能调度的下行数据流的最大数量。
图4为本发明实施例提供的数据并行传输的方法实施例二的流程示意图。在上述实施例的基础上,进一步地,上述S102具体可以包括如下步骤:
S201:第二AP根据所述SYN-RTS帧中的IA_ONLY信息、所述第一AP的天线数量、所述第二AP的天线数量、所述第一AP将要调度的第一STA的天线数量、所述第二AP将要调度的第二STA的天线数量,确定所述第一AP和所述第二AP的工作模式。
具体的,假设所述第一AP将要调度的第一STA的天线数量的最小值为N1,所述第一AP的天线数量为M1,所述第二AP将要调度的第二STA的天线数量的最小值为N2,所述第二AP的天线数量为M2。
可选的,若上述表1所示的SYN-RTS帧中的IA_ONLY字段为1,即若
所述第一AP工作模式仅为IA模式,则当所述且时,所述第二AP确定所述第一AP的工作模式为IA模式,所述第二AP的工作模式为BF模式;或者当所述且时,所述第二AP确定所述第一AP和所述第二AP的工作模式均为IA模式;其中,表示向下取整操作。
可选的,若表1所示的SYN-RTS帧中的IA_ONLY字段为0,即若所述第一AP工作模式不受限制,则当且时,则所述第二AP确定所述第一AP和所述第二AP的工作模式均为BF模式;或者,当且时,则所述第二AP确定所述第一AP的工作模式为IA模式,所述第二AP的工作模式为BF模式;或者,当且时,则所述第二AP确定所述第一AP的工作模式为BF模式,所述第二AP的工作模式为IA模式;或者,当且时,则所述第二AP确定所述第一AP和所述第二AP的工作模式均为IA模式。
可选的,若上述表1所示的SYN-RTS帧中的IA_ONLY字段为1,即若所述第一AP工作模式仅为IA模式,则当上述且或者,当所述且时,所述第二AP确定无法与第一AP进行并行数据传输,故第二AP确定无法在第一AP工作在IA模式下与第一AP进行下行并行数据传输,则第二AP确定不再向第一AP发送SYN-CTS帧,而确定可以向第一AP发送SYN-DENY帧,该SYN-DENY帧包括MAC Header信息、拒绝原因(DENY_REASON)信息和FCS;所述DENY_REASON信息,用于向第一AP指示第二AP拒绝与第一AP进行下行并行传输的原因。并且,MAC Header信息、DENY_REASON信息和FCS在SYN-DENY中可以以字段的形式进行体现,参见表3所示。可选的,该SYN_DENY帧可以携带4比特的DENY_REASON字段指示拒绝原因,例如用0001表示没有缓存的下行数据用于并行传输,0010表示小区内重叠的基础服务集合
(Overlapping BSS,简称OBSS)区域的STA能力较低,拒绝原因还可以为第二AP无法满足全带宽并行传输的请求。可选的,第二AP也可以无理由的拒绝与第一AP进行并行传输,故DENY_REASON字段还可以指示为没有理由(Out of no reason)等。
表3
MAC Header | DENY_REASON | FCS |
可选的,上述第二AP确定第一AP和第二AP的工作模式可以参照上述条件-结果映射关系的形式确定,也可以根据下述表4和表5所示的表格的形式确定(为方便标识,用AP1表示第一AP,用AP2表示第二AP)。表5中的“Unavailable(无法达到)”表示第二AP无法在第一AP工作在IA模式下与第一AP进行下行并行数据传输。
表4:IA_ONLY=0
表5:IA_ONLY=1
S202:第二AP根据所述第一AP的工作模式和所述第二AP的工作模式确定是否向所述第一AP发送所述SYN-CTS帧。
具体的,当第二AP确定第一AP和第二AP的工作模式之后,首先会根据第一AP和第二AP的工作模式确定是向第一AP发送SYN-CTS帧还是发送SYN-DENY帧。具体为:
若上述表1所示的SYN-RTS帧中的IA_ONLY字段为1,即若所述第一
AP工作模式仅为IA模式,则且或者,当所述且时,第二AP确定可以向第一AP发送所述SYN-CTS帧。也就是说,当第二AP确定第一AP的工作模式为IA模式,第二AP的工作模式为BF模式时,第二AP确定可以向第一AP发送所述SYN-CTS帧;当第二AP确定第一AP和第二AP的工作模式均为IA模式时,第二AP确定可以向第一AP发送SYN-CTS帧。
若表1所示的SYN-RTS帧中的IA_ONLY字段为0,即若所述第一AP工作模式不受限制,则无论第二AP确定的第一AP和第二AP为何种工作模式,第二AP均确定可以向第一AP发送SYN-CTS帧,只是发送的SYN-CTS帧中的所指示的内容不同。
进一步地,当第二AP确定会向第一AP发送SYN-CTS帧时,第二AP确定不同工作模式下发送给第一AP的SYN-CTS帧的内容。具体可以参见图5所示的实施例三。如图5所示,该方法包括:
S301:第二AP根据所述第一AP的工作模式和所述第二AP的工作模式,分别确定所述第一AP的模式工作参数和所述第二AP的模式工作参数;其中,所述第一AP的模式工作参数包括所述第一AP所能调度的第一STA的最大数量、所述第一AP所能调度的下行数据流的最大数量和所述第一预留方向的数量;所述第二AP的模式工作参数包括所述第二AP所能调度的第二STA的最大数量、所述第二AP所能调度的下行数据流的最大数量、所述第二预留方向的数量。
具体可以分为下述4种情况,为了方便公式标识,第一AP用AP1表示,第二AP用AP2表示。当然,本发明实施例对确定第一AP的模式工作参数和所述第二AP的模式工作参数所应用的公式并不做限制,以下公式仅是一种示例。具体为:
第一种:当第一AP和第二AP均工作在IA模式时,第二AP根据如下公式分别确定第一AP的模式工作参数和所述第二AP的模式工作参数,具体为:
第二AP根据 (公式1)确定第一预留方向(即AP1_DIR_NUM)的数量,其中,K1为正整数;第二AP根据(公式2)确定第二AP所能调度的第二STA的最大数量(即AP2_STA_NUM),其中,为公式1中AP1_DIR_NUM取最小值时的K1的值;第二AP根据 (公式3)确定第二预留方向的数量(即AP2_DIR_NUM),其中,K2为正整数;第二AP根据(公式4)确定第一AP所能调度的第一STA的最大数量(即AP1_STA_NUM),其中,为公式3中AP2_DIR_NUM取最小值时的K2的值;第二AP根据AP1_STREAM_NUM=M1-AP1_DIR_NUM(公式5)确定第一AP所能调度的下行数据流的最大数量(即AP1_STREAM_NUM);第二AP根据AP2_STREAM_NUM=M2-AP2_DIR_NUM(公式6)确定第二AP所能调度的下行数据流的最大数量(即AP2_STREAM_NUM)。通过公式1至公式6,第二AP可以确定出当第一AP和第二AP工作在IA模式下时的模式工作参数。
第二种:当第一AP工作在IA模式,第二AP工作在BF模式时,第二AP根据如下公式分别确定第一AP的模式工作参数和所述第二AP的模式工作参数,具体为:
第二AP根据上述公式1确定第一预留方向AP1_DIR_NUM的数量;第二AP根据上述公式2确定第二AP所能调度的第二STA的最大数量AP2_STA_NUM;在第一AP工作在IA模式,第二AP工作在BF模式的场景下,第二AP确定的第二预留方向的数量AP2_DIR_NUM=0,并且,第二AP确定的第一AP所能调度的第一STA的数量AP1_STA_NUM=0;第二AP根据上述公式5确定第一AP所能调度的下行数据流的最大数量AP1_STREAM_NUM;第二AP根据AP2_STREAM_NUM=M2-AP1_STREAM_NUM(公式7)确定第二AP所能调度的下行数据流的最大数量AP2_STREAM_NUM。由此,第二AP可以确定出第一
AP工作在IA模式的模式工作参数和第二AP工作在BF模式下时的模式工作参数。
第三种:当第一AP工作在BF模式,第二AP工作在IA模式时,第二AP根据如下公式分别确定第一AP的模式工作参数和所述第二AP的模式工作参数,具体为:
第二AP根据上述公式3确定第二预留方向的数量AP2_DIR_NUM;第二AP根据上述公式4确定第一AP所能调度的第一STA的最大数量AP1_STA_NUM;在第一AP工作在BF模式,第二AP工作在IA模式时,第二AP确定的第一预留方向的数量AP1_DIR_NUM=0,以及确定的第二AP所能调度的第二STA的最大数量AP2_STA_NUM=0;第二AP可以根据上述公式6确定第二AP所能调度的下行数据流的最大数量AP2_STREAM_NUM;第二AP可以根据AP1_STREAM_NUM=M1-AP2_STREAM_NUM(公式8)确定第一AP所能调度的下行数据流的最大数量AP1_STREAM_NUM。由此,第二AP可以确定出第一AP工作在BF模式,第二AP工作在IA模式下时的模式工作参数。
第四种:当第一AP和第二AP均工作在BF模式时,第二AP根据如下公式分别确定第一AP的模式工作参数和所述第二AP的模式工作参数,具体为:
在第一AP和第二AP工作在BF模式时,第二AP确定第一预留方向的数量AP1_DIR_NUM=0、确定第一AP所能调度的第一STA的最大数量AP1_STA_NUM=0、确定第二预留方向的数量AP2_DIR_NUM=0、确定第二AP所能调度的第二STA的数量AP2_STA_NUM=0;第二AP根据(公式9)确定第一AP所能调度的下行数据流的最大数量AP1_STREAM_NUM;第二AP根据(公式10)确定第二AP所能调度的下行数据流的最大数量AP2_STREAM_NUM。由此,第二AP可以确定出第一AP和第二AP均工作在BF模式下时的模式工作参数。
S302:第二AP将所述第一AP的工作模式、所述第二AP的工作模式、所述第一AP的模式工作参数和所述第二AP的模式工作参数携带在所述SYN-CTS帧中发送给所述第一AP。
具体的,由于上述第二AP已经根据第一AP和第二AP的工作模式确定可以向第一AP发送SYN-CTS帧,并且第二AP也确定出第一AP的模式工作参数和第二AP的模式工作参数,因此,第二AP将第一AP的工作模式、第二AP的工作模式、第一AP的模式工作参数和第二AP的模式工作参数以字段的形式携带在SYN-CTS帧中发送给第一AP,SYN-CTS帧的结构可以参见上述表2所示。
第一AP接收到该SYN-CTS帧后,根据该SYN-CTS帧中的第一MODE信息确定第一AP的工作模式,若第一MODE信息(或者第一MODE字段)的值为1,则第一AP确定其工作于IA模式,若第一MODE信息的值为0,则第一AP确定其工作于BF模式。之后,第一AP可以根据SYN-CTS帧中的第一STA_NUM信息(或者第一STA_NUM字段)、第一STREAM_NUM信息(或者第一STREAM_NUM字段)和第二DIR_NUM信息(或者第二DIR_NUM字段)确定如何调度第一STA。如果第一STA_NUM信息的值为0(即上述AP1_STA_NUM=0),则第一AP调度的第一STA的总天线数和分配的总数据流均不超过第一STREAM_NUM(即不超过上述AP1_STEARM_NUM);如果第一STA_NUM信息的值大于0,则第一AP调度的第一STA的个数最大不超过第一STA_NUM(即最大不超过上述AP1_STA_NUM),且第一AP预留给第二AP收发数据的第一预留方向的数量最大不超过上述AP2_DIR_NUM,第一AP所调度的下行数据流最大不超过第一STREAM_NUM(即最大不超过AP1_STEARM_NUM)。
同理,第二AP在获知第一AP交互完毕后,根据SYN-CTS帧中的内容调度第二STA。这里所说的交互指的是信令帧的交互,而非数据交互,例如,该交互可以为第一AP和第一STA之间的关于信道探测信息的帧交互,
包括空数据分组声明(Null Data Packet Announcement,简称NDPA)或空数据分组(Null Data Packet,简称NDP)或波束成形报告轮询(Beamforming Report Poll,简称BRP)或者波束成形报告(Beamforming Report,简称BR)等;又例如,该交互还可以为第一AP在与第一STA交互完之后,给第二AP单独发送一个同步帧,本发明方案对此处第一AP与第一STA之间及第一AP与第二AP之间交互的内容并不做限制。可选的,第二AP在第一AP调度第一STA(按照图2所示的例子,第一AP调度的第一STA为STA1、STA2和STA3)时可获得其调度信息,因此当第二AP侦听到STA3的上行帧(该上行帧为信道探测帧)时,其可知第一AP已交互完毕;或者,第一AP也可以在发送下行数据之前,预先发送一个同步帧来通知第二AP其已经交互完毕的效果,本发明方案对此不做限制。第二AP确定调度第二STA,具体为:如果第二STA_NUM信息的值为0(即上述AP2_STA_NUM=0),则第二AP调度的第二STA的总天线数和分配的总数据流均不超过第一STREAM_NUM(即不超过上述AP2_STEARM_NUM);如果第二STA_NUM信息的值大于0,则第二AP调度的第二STA的个数最大不超过第二STA_NUM(即最大不超过上述AP2_STA_NUM),且第二AP预留给第一AP收发数据的第二预留方向的数量最大不超过上述AP1_DIR_NUM,第二AP所调度的下行数据流最大不超过第二STREAM_NUM(即最大不超过AP2_STEARM_NUM)。在第二AP根据SYN-CTS帧确定如何调度第二STA后,第二AP可以与第一AP进行并行数据传输。
本发明实施例提供的数据并行传输的方法,第二AP通过接收第一AP发送的SYN-RTS帧,并通过该SYN-RTS帧确定第一AP和第二AP的工作模式,进而根据第一AP和第二AP的工作模式确定向第一AP发送SYN-CTS帧,从而使得第一AP和第二AP均获知与当前的天线配置场景适配的工作模式,进而使得第一AP根据上述SYN-CTS帧所指示的内容调度第一STA,第二AP根据上述SYN-CTS帧所指示的内容调度第二STA。本发明实施例提供的方法,第二AP通过根据第一AP上报的SYN-RTS帧中的内容,确定适合于第二AP与第一AP当前天线配置场景下的工作模式,从而使得第二AP和第一AP可以根据上述所确定的SYN-CTS帧中的内容进行相应的STA调度
以及下行数据传输,进而可以保证系统的数据流增益。
图6为本发明实施例提供的数据并行传输的方法实施例四的流程示意图。本实施例涉及的是第二AP通过与第一AP之间交互的SYN-RTS帧、以及第一AP的天线配置场景、第二AP的天线配置场景确定第一AP和第二AP的工作模式以及工作模式参数,进而通过SYN-CTS帧告知第一AP如何调度第一STA,从而使得第一AP与第二AP并行进行下行数据传输,并进行交叉干扰消除的整个过程。如图6所示,该方法包括:
S401:第二AP接收所述第一AP发送的SYN-RTS帧;所述SYN-RTS帧用于向所述第二AP指示所述第一AP的工作模式受限情况以及所述第一AP将要调度的第一STA的天线数量,所述SYN-RTS帧包括MAC Header信息、IA_ONLY信息、BSS_STA_ATN_NUM信息和FCS。
该步骤具体参见上述实施例一中的S101的具体描述,在此不再赘述。
S402:第二AP根据所述SYN-RTS帧中的IA_ONLY信息、所述第一AP的天线数量、所述第二AP的天线数量、所述第一AP将要调度的第一STA的天线数量、所述第二AP将要调度的第二STA的天线数量,确定所述第一AP和所述第二AP的工作模式。
该步骤具体可以参见上述实施例二中的S201的描述,在此不再赘述。
S403:第二AP根据所述第一AP的工作模式和所述第二AP的工作模式确定是否向所述第一AP发送所述SYN-CTS帧。若否,执行S404,若是,执行S405。
该步骤具体可以参见上述实施例二中的S202的描述,在此不再赘述。
S404:第二AP向第一AP发送SYN-DENY帧,以使第一AP执行正常的单BSS内的MU-MIMO下行传输流程。
该步骤具体可以参见上述实施例二中的S201的描述,在此不再赘述。
S405:第二AP根据所述第一AP的工作模式和所述第二AP的工作模式,分别确定所述第一AP的模式工作参数和所述第二AP的模式工作参数。
其中,所述第一AP的模式工作参数包括所述第一AP所能调度的第一STA的最大数量、所述第一AP所能调度的下行数据流的最大数量和所述第一预留方向的数量;所述第二AP的模式工作参数包括所述第二AP所能调度的第二STA的最大数量、所述第二AP所能调度的下行数据流的最大数量、
所述第二预留方向的数量。
该步骤具体可以参见上述实施例三中的S301的描述,在此不再赘述。
S406:第二AP将所述第一AP的工作模式、所述第二AP的工作模式、所述第一AP的模式工作参数和所述第二AP的模式工作参数携带在所述SYN-CTS帧中发送给所述第一AP。
该步骤具体可以参见上述实施例三中的S302的描述,在此不再赘述。
S407:第二AP获取所述第二AP到所述第一AP调度的第一STA之间的信道矩阵,并根据所述信道矩阵确定所述第二AP工作在IA模式时预留给所述第一AP收发数据的所述第二预留方向。
具体的,上述第二AP可以通过侦听的方式获得第二AP到所述第一AP调度的第一STA之间的信道矩阵,具体为:按照上述图2所示的例子,第一AP调度的第一STA为STA1、STA2和STA3,当第一AP在调度STA1、STA2和STA3时,STA1、STA2和STA3轮流发送上行帧给第一AP,因而第二AP可以通过侦听的方式测得第二AP到STA1的信道矩阵G1、第二AP到STA2的矩阵G2和第二AP到STA3的信道矩阵G3。同理,第一AP也可以在第二AP调度第二STA时通过侦听的方式测得第一AP到第二AP调度的第二STA之间的信道矩阵,按照上述图2所示的例子,假设第二AP调度的第二STA为STA5、STA6和STA7,则当第二AP在调度STA5、STA6和STA7时,STA5、STA6和STA7轮流发送上行帧给第二AP,因而第一AP可以通过侦听的方式测得第一AP到STA5的信道矩阵Ga、第二AP到STA6的矩阵Gb和第二AP到STA7的信道矩阵Gc。
然后,第二AP根据所确定的第二AP到第一AP所调度的第一STA之间的信道矩阵和公式11确定第二AP工作在IA模式时预留给第一AP收发数据的第二预留方向(设为R2),公式11具体为: 其中,NULL(·)表示求取零空间向量。需要说明的是,该第一预留方向是第二AP预留给第一AP进行收发数据的方向,在该第二预留方向上时,第二AP也会收发数据,但是,由于第二AP传输的数据与该方向的正交性,在该第二预留方向上第二AP所传输的数据即为空,也就是说,在理想情况下,最终在
第一AP与第二AP并行传输数据时,该第二预留方向上只有第一AP所传输的数据,第一AP和第二AP在该第二预留方向上是互不干扰的。
同样的,第一AP根据所确定的第一AP到第二AP所调度的第二STA之间的信道矩阵和公式12确定第一AP工作在IA模式时预留给第二AP收发数据的第一预留方向(设为R1),该公式12具体为: 需要说明的是,第一预留方向是第一AP预留给第二AP进行收发数据的方向,在该第一预留方向上时,第一AP虽然也会收发数据,但是,由于第一AP传输的数据与该方向的正交性,因此在理想情况下,在该第一预留方向上第一AP所传输的数据即为空,也就是说最终在第一AP与第二AP并行传输数据时,该第一预留方向上只有第二AP所传输的数据,第一AP和第二AP在该方向上是可以互不干扰的。
S408:第二AP广播所述第二预留方向;所述第二预留方向用于使所述第一AP调度的第一STA根据所述第二预留方向和所述信道矩阵确定接收均衡矩阵;所述接收均衡矩阵用于使所述第一AP调度的第一STA对接收到的所述第二AP下发的数据进行干扰消除。
S409:第二AP根据所述第二预留方向或所述信道矩阵确定预编码矩阵。
S410:第二AP根据所述预编码矩阵对所述第二AP的待发送数据进行编码,获得编码数据;所述编码数据与所述第二预留方向正交。
具体的,在第二AP获得第二预留方向之后,将第二预留方向进行广播,第一AP在获得第一预留方向之后,将第一预留方向进行广播,从而使得第一AP获知第二AP工作在IA模式时预留给自己收发数据的方向为第二预留方向(R2),并使得第二AP获知第一AP工作在IA模式时预留给自己收发数据的方向为第一预留方向(R1)。可选的,第二AP广播第二预留方向或第一AP广播第一预留方向均可以通过广播预留方向帧进行广播。
当第二AP工作在IA模式时,第二AP根据自身预留给第一AP收发数据的第二预留方向R2和公式13计算预编码矩阵P2,公式13具体为:P2=NULL(R2),其中NULL(Rk)={x|Rkx=0},它用来获得零空间矢量的操作;当
第二AP工作在BF模式时,则根据上述第二AP所确定的第二AP到第一AP所调度的第一STA之间的信道矩阵G1、G2、G3和公式14确定预编码矩阵P2,公式14具体为:P2=NULL(G1G2G3)。当第二AP确定预编码矩阵P2后,利用P2对第二AP待发送的下行数据进行预编码,获得编码数据,该编码数据与第二预留方向R2正交。
另一方面,当第一AP工作在IA模式时,第一AP根据自身预留给第二AP收发数据的第一预留方向R1和公式15计算预编码矩阵P1,公式15具体为:P1=NULL(R1);当第一AP工作在BF模式时,则根据上述第一AP所确定的第一AP到第二AP所调度的第二STA之间的信道矩阵Ga、Gb、Gc和公式16确定预编码矩阵P1,公式16具体为:P1=NULL(Ga Gb Gc)。当第一AP确定预编码矩阵P1后,利用P1对第一AP待发送的下行数据进行预编码,获得第一AP的编码数据,该第一AP的编码数据与第一预留方向R1正交。
S411:第二AP根据所述SYN-CTS帧中的所述第二MODE信息确定所述第二AP的工作模式,并根据所述第二DIR_NUM信息、所述第二STA_NUM信息和第二STREAM_NUM信息,向所述第二STA发送所述编码数据。
具体的,当第二AP根据预编码矩阵P2获得编码数据后,根据SYN-CTS帧中的第二MODE信息确定该第二AP的工作模式,并根据第二DIR_NUM信息、第二STA_NUM信息和第二STREAM_NUM信息,向所述第二STA发送该经过P2编码后的编码数据。
由于上述第二AP会广播第二预留方向,因此第一AP所调度的第一STA也会接收到第二AP广播的第二预留方向;然后,第一AP所调度的第一STA根据该第二预留方向、第二AP到第一AP所调度的第一STA之间的信道矩阵G1、G2、G3以及公式17确定接收均衡矩阵,公式17具体为:w2=(GGH)-1G·R2;其中,公式17中的G可以为G1、G2、G3,该接收均衡矩阵用于使所述第一AP调度的第一STA对接收到的所述第二AP下发的数据进行干扰消除,也就是说,在第一AP和第二AP进行并行传输时,第一AP所调度的第一STA接收到的数据不仅包括第一AP下发的经过第一AP的预编码矩阵P1编码后的编码数据,还包括第二AP下发的经过第二AP的预编码矩阵P2编码后的编码数据,然后第一AP通过上述接收均衡矩阵w2,与接收到的数据进行均衡消除(均衡消除的原理是基于第二AP下发
的数据与第二预留方向正交,将第二AP在第二预留方向的干扰数据消除),从而使得最终在第二预留方向上仅剩下第一AP下发的数据,因此使得第一AP所调度的第一STA(STA1、STA2和STA3)在R2方向上收发数据时不会遭受第二AP的干扰。
另一方面,当第一AP根据预编码矩阵P1获得编码数据后,根据SYN-CTS帧中的第一MODE信息确定该第一AP的工作模式,并根据第一DIR_NUM信息、第一STA_NUM信息和第一STREAM_NUM信息,向所述第一STA发送该经过P1编码后的编码数据。
由于上述第一AP会广播第一预留方向,因此第二AP所调度的第二STA也会接收到第一AP广播的第一预留方向;然后,第二AP所调度的第二STA该第一预留方向、第一AP到第二AP所调度的第二STA之间的信道矩阵Ga、Gb、Gc以及公式18确定接收均衡矩阵w1,公式18具体为:w1=(GGH)-1G·R1;其中,公式18中的G可以为Ga、Gb、Gc,该接收均衡矩阵w1用于使所述第二AP调度的第二STA对接收到的所述第一AP下发的数据进行干扰消除,也就是说,在第一AP和第二AP进行并行传输时,第二AP所调度的第二STA接收到的数据不仅包括第二AP下发的经过第二AP的预编码矩阵P2编码后的编码数据,还包括第一AP下发的经过第一AP的预编码矩阵P1编码后的编码数据,然后第二AP通过该接收均衡矩阵w1,与接收到的数据进行均衡消除(均衡消除的原理是基于第一AP下发的数据与第一预留方向正交,将第一AP在第一预留方向的干扰数据消除),从而使得最终在第一预留方向上仅剩下第二AP下发的数据,因此使得第二AP所调度的第二STA(STA5、STA6和STA7)在R1方向上收发数据时不会遭受第一AP的干扰。
本发明实施例提供的数据并行传输的方法,第二AP通过接收第一AP发送的SYN-RTS帧,并通过该SYN-RTS帧确定第一AP和第二AP的工作模式,进而根据第一AP和第二AP的工作模式确定向第一AP发送SYN-CTS帧,从而使得第一AP和第二AP均获知与当前的天线配置场景适配的工作模式,进而使得第一AP根据上述SYN-CTS帧所指示的内容调度第一STA,第二AP根据上述SYN-CTS帧所指示的内容调度第二STA,进而使得第一AP和第二AP在并行传输时进行干扰消除。本发明实施例提供的方法,第二AP
通过根据第一AP上报的SYN-RTS帧中的内容,确定适合于第二AP与第一AP当前天线配置场景下的工作模式,从而使得第二AP和第一AP可以根据上述所确定的SYN-CTS帧中的内容进行相应的STA调度以及下行数据传输,进而可以保证系统的数据流增益。
图7为本发明实施例提供的数据并行传输的方法实施例五的流程示意图。本实施例涉及的方法同样适用于上述图2所示的MU-MIMO系统。如图7所示,该方法包括:
S501:第一AP向所述第二AP发送同步请求发送SYN-RTS帧;所述SYN-RTS帧用于向所述第二AP指示所述第一AP的工作模式受限情况以及所述第一AP将要调度的第一STA的天线数量。
具体的,第一AP通过信道竞争获得信道使用权之后,会根据第一AP下的第一STA的受干扰情况确定下行同步传输合作对象,本实施例中,第一AP确定可能会给第一AP下的第一STA带来干扰的第二AP为下行同步传输合作对象,并向该第二AP发送SYN-RTS帧。
在第一AP确定下行同步传输合作传输对象为第二AP后,第一AP向第二AP发送SYN-RTS帧;第二AP接收到该SYN-RTS帧后,根据该SYN-RTS帧获知第一AP的工作模式受限情况,即获知第一AP的工作模式偏好,例如第一AP仅支持工作在IA模式或者第一AP对工作模式没有限制。第二AP还可以根据该SYN-RTS帧获知第一AP将要调度的第一STA的数量。按照上述图2所示,假设第一AP将要调度自己所服务的所有的第一STA。
S502:第一AP接收所述第二AP根据所述SYN-RTS帧、所述第一AP的天线数量、所述第二AP的天线数量和所述第二AP将要调度的第二STA的天线数量发送的同步允许发送SYN-CTS帧。
其中,所述SYN-CTS帧用于向所述第一AP指示所述第一AP的工作模式、所述第一AP所能调度的第一STA的最大数量、所述第一AP所能调度的下行数据流的最大数量、所述第一AP工作在干扰对齐IA模式时预留给所述第二AP收发数据的第一预留方向的数量、所述第二AP的工作模式、所述第二AP所能调度的第二STA的最大数量、所述第二AP所能调度的下行数据流的最大数量和所述第二AP工作在IA模式时预留给所述第一AP收发数
据的第二预留方向的数量。
具体的,第二AP可以结合上述SYN-RTS帧、第一AP的天线数量、第二AP的天线数量和第二AP将要调度的第二STA的天线数量,确定是否向第一AP发送SYN-CTS帧。可选的,第二AP可以结合上述SYN-RTS帧、第一AP的天线数量、第二AP的天线数量和第二AP将要调度的第二STA的天线数量判断自身当前是否支持与第一AP进行并行传输,当第二AP判断自身可以与第一AP进行下行并行传输时,第二AP确定向第一AP发送SYN-CTS帧。并且,第二AP可以通过SYN-CTS帧告知第一AP适合于第一AP当前通信场景下的工作模式;还可以通过该SYN-CTS帧告知第一AP所能调度的第一STA的最大数量,例如:上述第一AP通过SYN-RTS帧告知第二AP自身将要调度所覆盖的所有第一STA,但是第二AP结合第一AP的天线数量和第二AP的天线数量以及第二AP将要调度的第二STA的天线数量确定第一AP当前只能调度3个第一STA,则第二AP将该第一AP所能调度的第一STA的最大数量携带在SYN-CTS帧中发送给第一AP,假设第一AP可以调度的第一STA为STA1、STA2和STA3;第二AP还可以结合上述SYN-RTS帧、第一AP的天线数量、第二AP的天线数量和第二AP将要调度的第二STA的天线数量确定第一AP所能调度的下行数据流的最大数量,并通过SYN-CTS帧告知给第一AP;第二AP还可以确定第一AP工作在IA模式时可以预留给第二AP收发数据的第一预留方向的数量,并通过SYN-CTS帧中告知给第一AP。可选的,上述第一AP的天线数量、第二AP的天线数量和第二AP将要调度的第二STA的天线数量,第二AP均是预知的,或者,第二AP可以通过侦听探测的方式获知这些信息。可选的,上述第二AP将要调度的第二STA的天线数量,可以是第二AP将要调度的每个第二STA上的天线数量,还可以是第二AP将要调度的所有第二STA中的最小天线数量。
第一AP接收第二AP发送的SYN-CTS帧,并通过该SYN-CTS帧获知第一AP的工作模式、第一AP所能调度的第一STA的最大数量、第一AP所能调度的下行数据流的最大数量以及第一AP工作在干扰对齐IA模式时所能预留给第二AP收发数据的第一预留方向的数量,第一AP根据该SYN-CTS帧确定如何调度第一STA,并与所调度的第一STA进行数据传输。需要说明
的是,第一预留方向是第一AP预留给第二AP进行收发数据的方向,在该第一预留方向上时,第一AP虽然也会收发数据,但是,由于第一AP传输的数据与该方向的正交性,因此在理想情况下,在该第一预留方向上第一AP所传输的数据即为空,也就是说最终在第一AP与第二AP并行传输数据时,该第一预留方向上只有第二AP所传输的数据,第一AP和第二AP在该方向上是可以互不干扰的。故,第二AP要告知第一AP留给第二AP收发数据的第一预留方向的数量,以便于后面的两个AP进行下行并行传输。
当然,第二AP工作在IA模式时也会给第一AP收发数据预留第二预留方向,在该第二预留方向上时,第二AP也会收发数据,但是,由于第二AP传输的数据与该方向的正交性,在该第二预留方向上第二AP所传输的数据即为空,也就是说最终在第一AP与第二AP并行传输数据时,该第二预留方向上只有第一AP所传输的数据,第一AP和第二AP在该第二预留方向上也是可以互不干扰的。因此,第二AP也可以通过上述SYN-CTS帧告知第一AP第二预留方向的数量。并且,第二AP还可以通过上述SYN-CTS帧告知第一AP当前第二AP的工作模式、第二AP所能调度的第二STA的数量和第二AP所能调度的下行数据流的最大数量,以便于第一AP得知第二BSS下的数据传输情况,进而得知第二BSS可能会对其本身造成的干扰,从而可以辅助后续信道侦听等流程进行交叉干扰的消除。
S503:第一AP根据所述SYN-CTS帧所指示的内容调度所述第一STA,与所述第二AP并行进行下行数据传输。
本发明实施例提供的数据并行传输的方法,第一AP通过向第二AP发送的SYN-RTS帧,使得第二AP可以根据该SYN-RTS帧确定向第一AP发送SYN-CTS帧,从而使得第一AP和第二AP均获知与当前的天线配置场景适配的工作模式,进而使得第一AP根据上述SYN-CTS帧所指示的内容调度第一STA,第二AP根据上述SYN-CTS帧所指示的内容调度第二STA。本发明实施例提供的方法,第二AP通过根据第一AP上报的SYN-RTS帧中的内容,确定适合于第二AP与第一AP当前天线配置场景下的工作模式,从而使得第二AP和第一AP可以根据上述所确定的SYN-CTS帧中的内容进行相应的STA调度以及下行数据传输,进而可以保证系统的数据流增益。
作为本发明实施例的一种可能的实施方式,可选的,所述SYN-RTS帧包
括MAC Header信息、IA_ONLY信息、BSS_STA_ATN_NUM信息和帧FCS,其中,所述IA_ONLY信息用于向所述第二AP指示所述第一AP的工作模式受限情况,所述BSS_STA_ATN_NUM用于向所述第二AP指示所述第一AP将要调度的第一STA的天线数量。该SYN-RTS帧的结构可以参见上述表1所示的帧结构。
以图2为例,第一AP(天线数量为M1)竞争获得信道使用权后,可以根据其收集的第二AP的天线数信息(M2)选择处于其覆盖区域且天线数≥M1的第二AP作为其下行同步传输合作对象,该天线数信息可由第一AP在空闲时通过第二AP发送的信标帧(beacon)等的能力信息获得。
然后,第一AP给第二AP发送SYN-RTS帧。该SYN-RTS帧携带IA_ONLY信息和BSS_STA_ATN_NUM信息。其中,IA_ONLY信息和BSS_STA_ATN_NUM信息均可以以字段的形式在SYN-RTS帧中体现。可选的,IA_ONLY字段(或者IA_ONLY信息)可以为1比特,当IA_ONLY=1时,表示第一AP只愿意工作在IA模式,当IA_ONLY=0表示第一AP对工作模式无限制。可选的,上述BSS_STA_ATN_NUM字段(或者BSS_STA_ATN_NUM信息)可以为4比特,用于向第二AP指示第一AP将要调度的第一STA的天线数量。
作为本发明实施例的另一种可能的实施方式,在上述实施例的基础上,可选的,上述SYN-CTS帧包括MAC Header信息、第一部分、第二部分和帧校验序列FCS,具体可以参照上述表2所示的帧结构。
具体的,表2中,靠近MAC Header的前面的MODE、DIR_NUM、STA_NUM和STREAM_NUM为上述SYN-CTS帧的第一部分的内容,对应于第一AP,即前面的MODE为第一MODE信息,前面的DIR_NUM为第一DIR_NUM信息,前面的STA_NUM为第一STA_NUM,前面的STREAM_NUM为第一STREAM_NUM;后面的MODE、DIR_NUM、STA_NUM和STREAM_NUM为上述SYN-CTS帧的第二部分的内容,对应于第二AP,即后面的MODE为第二MODE信息,后面的DIR_NUM为第二DIR_NUM信息,后面的STA_NUM为第二STA_NUM,后面的STREAM_NUM为第二STREAM_NUM。需要说明的是,上述MODE信息、DIR_NUM信息、STA_NUM信息和STREAM_NUM信息均可以以字段的形
式在帧中体现。
其中,所述第一MODE信息用于向所述第一AP指示所述第一AP的工作模式,所述第一DIR_NUM信息用于向所述第一AP指示所述第一预留方向的数量,所述第一STA_NUM信息用于向所述第一AP指示所述第一AP所能调度的第一STA的最大数量,所述第一STREAM_NUM用于向所述第一AP指示所述第一AP所能调度的下行数据流的最大数量;所述第二MODE信息用于向所述第一AP指示所述第二AP的工作模式,所述第二DIR_NUM信息用于向所述第一AP指示所述第二AP工作在IA模式时预留给所述第一AP收发数据的第二预留方向的数量,所述第二STA_NUM信息用于向所述第一AP指示所述第二AP所能调度的第二STA的最大数量,所述第二STREAM_NUM用于向所述第一AP指示所述第二AP所能调度的下行数据流的最大数量。
表2中,第一MODE字段(或者第一MODE信息)和第二MODE字段(或者第二MODE信息)可以为1比特,当第一MODE字段的值为1时,指示第一AP工作于IA模式,当第一MODE字段的值为0时,指示第一AP工作于BF模式;当第二MODE字段的值为1时,指示第二AP工作于IA模式,当第二MODE字段的值为0时,指示第二AP工作于BF模式。需要说明的是,当第一AP工作在BF模式时,第一DIR_NUM字段的值为0,只是说明该第一DIR_NUM字段可以不需要指示;当第二AP工作在BF模式时,第二DIR_NUM字段的值为0,也只是说明该第二DIR_NUM字段可以不需要指示。
第一DIR_NUM字段(或者第一DIR_NUM信息)和第二DIR_NUM字段(或者第二DIR_NUM信息)可以为4比特,当第一AP工作在BF模式时,第一DIR_NUM字段的值为0,当第二AP工作在BF模式时,第二DIR_NUM字段的值为0。
第一STA_NUM字段(或者第一STA_NUM信息)和第二STA_NUM字段(或者第二STA_NUM信息)可以为4比特,当第一AP工作于IA模式时,第二STA_NUM字段为大于0的值;当第一AP工作于BF模式时,第二STA_NUM字段为0值(或不对第二STA_NUM字段进行指示);当第二AP工作于IA模式时,第一STA_NUM字段为大于0的值;当第二AP工作于BF模式时,第一STA_NUM字段为0值(或不对第一STA_NUM字段进行指示)。
第一STREAM_NUM字段(或者第一STREAM_NUM信息)和第二STREAM_NUM字段(或者第二STREAM_NUM信息)可以为3比特,分别指示第一AP和第二AP所能调度的下行数据流的最大数量。
图8为本发明实施例提供的数据并行传输的方法实施例六的流程示意图。本实施例涉及的是第一AP通过与第二AP之间交互的SYN-RTS帧,使得第二AP根据该SYN-RTS帧以及第一AP的天线配置场景、第二AP的天线配置场景确定第一AP和第二AP的工作模式以及工作模式参数,进而通过SYN-CTS帧告知第一AP如何调度第一STA,从而使得第一AP与第二AP并行进行下行数据传输,并进行交叉干扰消除的整个过程。如图8所示,该方法包括:
S601:第一AP向所述第二AP发送同步请求发送SYN-RTS帧;所述SYN-RTS帧用于向所述第二AP指示所述第一AP的工作模式受限情况以及所述第一AP将要调度的第一STA的天线数量,所述SYN-RTS帧包括MAC Header信息、IA_ONLY信息、BSS_STA_ATN_NUM信息和FCS。
该步骤具体参见上述实施例五中的S501的具体描述,在此不再赘述。
S602:第一AP接收所述第二AP根据所述SYN-RTS帧、所述第一AP的天线数量、所述第二AP的天线数量和所述第二AP将要调度的第二STA的天线数量发送的同步允许发送SYN-CTS帧。
其中,所述SYN-CTS帧用于向所述第一AP指示所述第一AP的工作模式、所述第一AP所能调度的第一STA的最大数量、所述第一AP所能调度的下行数据流的最大数量、所述第一AP工作在干扰对齐IA模式时预留给所述第二AP收发数据的第一预留方向的数量、所述第二AP的工作模式、所述第二AP所能调度的第二STA的最大数量、所述第二AP所能调度的下行数据流的最大数量和所述第二AP工作在IA模式时预留给所述第一AP收发数据的第二预留方向的数量。
具体的,假设所述第一AP将要调度的第一STA的天线数量的最小值为N1,所述第一AP的天线数量为M1,所述第二AP将要调度的第二STA的天线数量的最小值为N2,所述第二AP的天线数量为M2。
第二AP在接收到第一AP发送的SYN-RTS帧之后,首先根据SYN-RTS
帧中的IA_ONLY信息、第一AP的天线数量、第二AP的天线数量、第一AP将要调度的第一STA的天线数量、所述第二AP将要调度的第二STA的天线数量,确定所述第一AP和所述第二AP的工作模式,并根据第一AP和第二AP的工作模式确定是向第一AP发送SYN-CTS帧还是SYN-DENY帧。第二AP确定第一AP和第二AP的工作模式的具体执行过程以及第二AP根据第一AP和第二AP的工作模式确定是否向第一AP发送SYN-CTS帧以及SYN-DENY帧的结构可以参见上述实施例二中S201的描述,在此不再赘述。
当第二AP确定向第一AP发送SYN-CTS帧之后,第二AP根据所述第一AP的工作模式和所述第二AP的工作模式,分别确定所述第一AP的模式工作参数和所述第二AP的模式工作参数;其中,所述第一AP的模式工作参数包括所述第一AP所能调度的第一STA的最大数量、所述第一AP所能调度的下行数据流的最大数量和所述第一预留方向的数量;所述第二AP的模式工作参数包括所述第二AP所能调度的第二STA的最大数量、所述第二AP所能调度的下行数据流的最大数量、所述第二预留方向的数量。需要说明的是,第二AP确定所述第一AP的模式工作参数和所述第二AP的模式工作参数可以参见上述实施例三中的S301的具体描述,在此不再赘述。
最后,第二AP将所确定的第一AP的工作模式、第二AP的工作模式、第一AP的模式工作参数和第二AP的模式工作参数以字段的形式携带在SYN-CTS帧中发送给第一AP,SYN-CTS帧的结构可以参见上述表2所示。
第一AP接收到该SYN-CTS帧后,根据该SYN-CTS帧中的第一MODE信息确定第一AP的工作模式,若第一MODE信息(或者第一MODE字段)的值为1,则第一AP确定其工作于IA模式,若第一MODE信息的值为0,则第一AP确定其工作于BF模式。之后,第一AP可以根据SYN-CTS帧中的第一STA_NUM信息(或者第一STA_NUM字段)、第一STREAM_NUM信息(或者第一STREAM_NUM字段)和第二DIR_NUM信息(或者第二DIR_NUM字段)确定如何调度第一STA。如果第一STA_NUM信息的值为0(即上述AP1_STA_NUM=0),则第一AP调度的第一STA的总天线数和分配的总数据流均不超过第一STREAM_NUM(即不超过上述
AP1_STEARM_NUM);如果第一STA_NUM信息的值大于0,则第一AP调度的第一STA的个数最大不超过第一STA_NUM(即最大不超过上述AP1_STA_NUM),且第一AP预留给第二AP收发数据的第一预留方向的数量最大不超过上述AP2_DIR_NUM,第一AP所调度的下行数据流最大不超过第一STREAM_NUM(即最大不超过AP1_STEARM_NUM)。
同理,第二AP在获知第一AP交互完毕后(这里所说的交互指的是第一AP和第二AP之间的信令帧的交互,而非数据交互,可以参照上述S302中的描述),根据SYN-CTS帧中的内容调度第二STA。可选的,第二AP在第一AP调度第一STA(按照图2所示的例子,第一AP调度的第一STA为STA1、STA2和STA3)时可获得其调度信息,因此当第二AP侦听到STA3的上行帧(该上行帧为信道探测帧)时,其可知第一AP已交互完毕;或者,第一AP也可以在发送下行数据之前,预先发送一个同步帧来通知第二AP其已经交互完毕的效果,本发明方案对此不做限制。第二AP确定调度第二STA,具体为:如果第二STA_NUM信息的值为0(即上述AP2_STA_NUM=0),则第二AP调度的第二STA的总天线数和分配的总数据流均不超过第一STREAM_NUM(即不超过上述AP2_STEARM_NUM);如果第二STA_NUM信息的值大于0,则第二AP调度的第二STA的个数最大不超过第二STA_NUM(即最大不超过上述AP2_STA_NUM),且第二AP预留给第一AP收发数据的第二预留方向的数量最大不超过上述AP1_DIR_NUM,第二AP所调度的下行数据流最大不超过第二STREAM_NUM(即最大不超过AP2_STEARM_NUM)。在第二AP根据SYN-CTS帧确定如何调度第二STA后,第二AP可以与第一AP进行并行数据传输。
S603:第一AP获取所述第一AP到所述第二AP调度的第二STA之间的信道矩阵,并根据所述信道矩阵确定所述第一AP工作在IA模式时预留给所述第二AP收发数据的所述第一预留方向。
具体的,第一AP也可以在第二AP调度第二STA时通过侦听的方式测得第一AP到第二AP调度的第二STA之间的信道矩阵,按照上述图2所示的例子,假设第二AP调度的第二STA为STA5、STA6和STA7,则当第二
AP在调度STA5、STA6和STA7时,STA5、STA6和STA7轮流发送上行帧给第二AP,因而第一AP可以通过侦听的方式测得第一AP到STA5的信道矩阵Ga、第二AP到STA6的矩阵Gb和第二AP到STA7的信道矩阵Gc。
第一AP根据所确定的第一AP到第二AP所调度的第二STA之间的信道矩阵和上述公式12确定第一AP工作在IA模式时预留给第二AP收发数据的第一预留方向(设为R1)。需要说明的是,第一预留方向是第一AP预留给第二AP进行收发数据的方向,在该第一预留方向上时,第一AP虽然也会收发数据,但是,由于第一AP传输的数据与该方向的正交性,在该第一预留方向上第一AP所传输的数据即为空,也就是说,在理想情况下,最终在第一AP与第二AP并行传输数据时,该第一预留方向上只有第二AP所传输的数据,第一AP和第二AP在该方向上是可以互不干扰的。
同理,上述第二AP也可以通过侦听的方式获得第二AP到所述第一AP调度的第一STA之间的信道矩阵,具体为:按照上述图2所示的例子,第一AP调度的第一STA为STA1、STA2和STA3,当第一AP在调度STA1、STA2和STA3时,STA1、STA2和STA3轮流发送上行帧给第一AP,因而第二AP可以通过侦听的方式测得第二AP到STA1的信道矩阵G1、第二AP到STA2的矩阵G2和第二AP到STA3的信道矩阵G3。
然后,第二AP根据所确定的第二AP到第一AP所调度的第一STA之间的信道矩阵和上述公式11确定第二AP工作在IA模式时预留给第一AP收发数据的第二预留方向(设为R2)。需要说明的是,该第一预留方向是第二AP预留给第一AP进行收发数据的方向,在该第二预留方向上时,第二AP也会收发数据,但是,由于第二AP传输的数据与该方向的正交性,因此,在理想情况下,在该第二预留方向上第二AP所传输的数据即为空,也就是说最终在第一AP与第二AP并行传输数据时,该第二预留方向上只有第一AP所传输的数据,第一AP和第二AP在该第二预留方向上是互不干扰的。
S604:第一AP广播所述第一预留方向;所述第一预留方向用于使所述第二AP调度的第二STA根据所述第一预留方向和所述信道矩阵确定接收均衡矩阵;所述接收均衡矩阵用于使所述第二AP调度的第二STA对接收到的所述第一AP下发的数据进行干扰消除。
S605:第一AP根据所述第一预留方向或所述信道矩阵确定预编码矩阵。
S606:第一AP根据所述预编码矩阵对所述第一AP的待发送数据进行编码,获得编码数据;所述编码数据与所述第一预留方向正交。
具体的,在第一AP获得第一预留方向之后,将第一预留方向进行广播,第二AP在获得第二预留方向之后,将第二预留方向进行广播,从而使得第一AP获知第二AP工作在IA模式时预留给自己收发数据的方向为第二预留方向(R2),并使得第二AP获知第一AP工作在IA模式时预留给自己收发数据的方向为第一预留方向(R1)。可选的,第二AP广播第二预留方向或第一AP广播第一预留方向均可以通过广播预留方向帧进行广播。
当第一AP工作在IA模式时,第一AP根据自身预留给第二AP收发数据的第一预留方向R1和上述公式15计算预编码矩阵P1;当第一AP工作在BF模式时,则根据上述第一AP所确定的第一AP到第二AP所调度的第二STA之间的信道矩阵Ga、Gb、Gc和上述公式16确定预编码矩阵P1。当第一AP确定预编码矩阵P1后,利用P1对第一AP待发送的下行数据进行预编码,获得编码数据,该编码数据与第一预留方向R1正交。
另一方面,当第二AP工作在IA模式时,第二AP根据自身预留给第一AP收发数据的第二预留方向R2和上述公式13计算预编码矩阵P2;当第二AP工作在BF模式时,则根据上述第二AP所确定的第二AP到第一AP所调度的第一STA之间的信道矩阵G1、G2、G3和上述公式14确定预编码矩阵P2。当第二AP确定预编码矩阵P2后,利用P2对第二AP待发送的下行数据进行预编码,获得第二AP的编码数据,该第二AP的编码数据与第二预留方向R2正交。
S607:第一AP根据所述SYN-CTS帧中所述第一MODE信息确定所述第一AP的工作模式,并根据所述第一DIR_NUM信息、所述第一STA_NUM信息和所述第一STREAM_NUM信息,向所述第一STA发送所述编码数据。
具体的,当第一AP根据预编码矩阵P1获得编码数据后,根据SYN-CTS帧中的第一MODE信息确定该第一AP的工作模式,并根据第一DIR_NUM信息、第一STA_NUM信息和第一STREAM_NUM信息,向所述第一STA发送该经过P1编码后的编码数据。
由于上述第一AP会广播第一预留方向,因此第二AP所调度的第二STA会接收到第一AP广播的第一预留方向;然后,第二AP所调度的第二STA
该第一预留方向、第一AP到第二AP所调度的第二STA之间的信道矩阵Ga、Gb、Gc以及会上述公式18确定接收均衡矩阵w1,该接收均衡矩阵w1用于使所述第二AP调度的第二STA对接收到的所述第一AP下发的数据进行干扰消除,也就是说,在第一AP和第二AP进行并行传输时,第二AP所调度的第二STA接收到的数据不仅包括第二AP下发的经过第二AP的预编码矩阵P2编码后的编码数据,还包括第一AP下发的经过第一AP的预编码矩阵P1编码后的编码数据,然后第二AP通过该接收均衡矩阵w1,与接收到的数据进行均衡消除(均衡消除的原理是基于第一AP下发的数据与第一预留方向正交,将第一AP在第一预留方向的干扰数据消除),从而使得最终在第一预留方向上仅剩下第二AP下发的数据,因此使得第二AP所调度的第二STA(STA5、STA6和STA7)在R1方向上收发数据时不会遭受第一AP的干扰。
另一方面,当第二AP根据预编码矩阵P2获得编码数据后,根据SYN-CTS帧中的第二MODE信息确定该第二AP的工作模式,并根据第二DIR_NUM信息、第二STA_NUM信息和第二STREAM_NUM信息,向所述第二STA发送该经过P2编码后的编码数据。
