Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of communications, and in particular, to a method and an apparatus for transmitting an indication message to be received.
- the station In a wireless local area network, in order to save power, the station usually operates in a power saving mode. When the station operates in the power saving mode, its working state alternates between an Awake state and a Doze state according to certain rules. When in the Doze state, the site's power consumption can be reduced to a low level, but it cannot receive messages sent by the access point.
- the current wireless fidelity (WiFi, WIreless-FIdelity) 802.11 standard defines a data transmission indication map (TIM) downlink data transmission mechanism.
- TIM data transmission indication map
- a station operating in a power saving mode needs to periodically wake up to receive a broadcast message broadcast by an access point, and the access point indicates to the station whether there is cached data waiting through a TIM field in a broadcast message periodically broadcasted.
- the TIM field is composed of a plurality of binary bits, and the serial number of each binary bit corresponds to an association identifier (AID, Association identifier) of the site.
- the site indicating the corresponding AID is cached at the access point.
- Data when the station finds that there is cached data at the access point through the broadcast message, after receiving the broadcast message, it sends a power-saving poll to the access point in a freely competitive manner in the idle channel (PS-Poll). , Power Save poll) to receive the indication message, and then in the awake state, waiting to receive the data sent by the access point, until after receiving the data, then enter the power-saving sleep state.
- the access point may set multiple indication bits in the TIM to "1", and simultaneously indicate cached data to multiple sites, in which case multiple sites will simultaneously be in a freely competitive channel manner.
- the access point sends a PS-Poll message, where the general process of the channel free competition mechanism is: the station first listens to whether the channel is idle, and if the channel idle time exceeds a certain time (such as AIFS, arbitration interframe space, arbitration frame interval), the station Start a backoff mechanism, that is, randomly select a backoff time value (in units of Time slot) between the set minimum backoff time and the maximum backoff time, and start a countdown timer clock (in units of Time slot) when the channel is idle. When the accumulated time reaches the backoff time value selected by the station, the countdown timer clock is reduced to 0, and the triggering station sends a PS-Poll message to the access point.
- a certain time such as AIFS, arbitration interframe space, arbitration frame interval

Abstract
一种待接收指示消息传输方法,包括:接入点发送广播消息,所述广播消息包括:待传输指示位图信息,第一待接收站点组信息和第一触发消息的发送时间信息,其中,第一待接收站点组对应所述第一触发消息;所述第一触发消息用于指示所述第一待接收站点组中支持多用户传输机制的待接收站点同时向所述接入点发送待接收指示消息;所述待接收站点为在所述TIM中指示有下行数据的站点;所述接入点根据所述第一触发消息的发送时间信息发送所述第一触发消息;所述接入点接收所述第一待接收站点组中至少一个待接收站点根据所述第一触发消息并使用多用户传输机制发送的待接收指示消息。
Description
本发明涉及通信领域,尤其涉及一种待接收指示消息传输方法及装置。
在无线局域网中,为了省电,站点通常工作于省电模式,当站点工作于省电模式时,其工作状态按照一定的规则在苏醒(Awake)状态与睡眠(Doze)状态之间交替转换。当处于Doze状态时,站点的电量消耗可以降到很低,但无法接收接入点发送的消息。
为了使接入点能够及时将到达的数据尽快发送给站点,当前的无线保真(WiFi,WIreless-FIdelity)802.11标准中定义了数据传输指示图(TIM,Traffic Indication Map)下行数据传输机制。根据TIM机制,工作于省电模式的站点需要周期性苏醒,以接收接入点广播的广播消息,接入点通过周期性广播的广播消息中的TIM字段,向站点指示是否有缓存的数据等待发送给站点。具体的,TIM字段由一些二进制位组成,每一个二进制位的序号与站点的关联标识(AID,Association identifier)对应,当某一位设置为1时,表示相应AID的站点在接入点有缓存的数据,当站点通过广播消息发现在接入点有缓存的数据时,便在接收到该广播消息之后,在空闲信道中以自由竞争的方式向接入点发送省电轮询(PS-Poll,Power Save poll)待接收指示消息,然后处于苏醒状态,等待接收接入点下发的数据,直到接收完数据后再进入省电的睡眠状态。
在现有技术中,接入点可以将TIM中的多个指示位设置为“1”,同时向多个站点指示有缓存的数据,这时将有多个站点同时以自由竞争信道的方式向接入点发送PS-Poll消息,其中,信道自由竞争机制的大致流程为:站点先侦听信道是否空闲,如果信道空闲时间超过一定时间(如AIFS,arbitration interframe space,仲裁帧间隔),站点则启动一个退避机制,即在设定的最小退避时间与最大退避时间之间随机选择一个退避时间值(以Time slot为单位),同时启动一个倒计时定时时钟(以Time slot为单位),当信道空闲时间累计达到站点选择的退避时间值时,则倒计时定时时钟减为0,触发站点向接入点发送PS-Poll消息。
通过上述的信道自由竞争过程可以看出,当两个站点碰巧随机选择了相同的退避时间值时,将导致这两个站点同时发送的PS-Poll消息冲突,这种情况下站点将重新进行信道竞争。由于多个站点的信道竞争是在整个接入点工作信道上进行的,显然,PS-Poll消息的冲突必然造成整个信道资源的浪费。

具体的,第一待接收站点组支持多用户传输机制的待接收站点可以根据第一触发消息中携带的待接收站点组指示信息确定用于发送待接收指示消息的信道资源。可选的,有以下两种方式:
一、若接入点和待接收站点事先约定了待接收指示消息的信道资源(整个频谱资源的频带,以及该整个频谱资源的划分方式),则第一待接收站点组支持多用户传输机制的待接收站点根据STA type Bit-MAP获知自身站点为第一待接收站点组中第X个支持多用户传输机制的待接收站点,相应的,自身站点对应的信道资源就在所述整个频谱资源中的第X个频段中;
二、若接入点和待接收站点没有约定待接收指示消息的信道资源,则第一待接收站点组的待接收站点通过第一触发消息中的信道资源指示信息获知待接收指示消息的信道资源,然后第一待接收站点组支持多用户传输机制的待接收站点根据STA type Bit-MAP获知自身站点为第一待接收站点组中第X个支持多用户传输机制的待接收站点,相应的,自身站点对应的信道资源就在所述整个频谱资源中的第X个频段中。
