Description

一种多个电力线网络之间协调方法及装置
本申请要求于2015年04月21日提交中国专利局、申请号为201510190891.6，发明名称为“一种多个电力线网络之间协调方法及装置”的中国专利申请的优先权，其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本发明涉及通信处理领域，尤其涉及一种多个电力线网络之间协调方法及装置。
背景技术
现有电力线网络属于共享网络，共用媒介为电力线上传输的电波。因为电力线通信是总线型，并不能像以太网线那样，使得无关的站点之间能够被隔离。所以，在不考虑衰减的情况下，电力线上传输的电波，会被电力线上的所有站点收到。以电力线网络为例进行说明，电力线网络的结构如下图1所示，中央协调器(Central Coordinator，CCO)为变压器上的集中器，其他站点是电表，CCO和电表之间通过电力线连接。在实际应用中，通常几个变压器集中在一个地方，每个变压器上安装一个CCO模块，一个CCO模块与属于该CCO模块的站点(电表)形成一个电力线网络，多个变压器及其对应的站点组成多个电力线网络，图2示例的表示由3个变压器形成的多个电力线网络共存的场景。该实例中，3个变压器连接同一条总线，则三个变压器所属的三个电力线网络互为相邻网络。
共享网络中，站点之间通信时，都存在信号干扰的问题。如果两个站点同时发射信号，则发射出的信号会互相干扰，导致通信失败。或者来自网络中站点之外的电磁干扰，也会造成信号的干扰。
另外，站点之间通信还存在信号衰减的问题。如果两个站点之间距离较远，或者干扰严重，那么一个站点发出的信号，传送到另外一个站点时，就会严重的失真，导致无法识别。
为了解决共享网络中信号干扰和衰减的问题，现有技术中提供了以下两种方案，具体包括：
现有技术方案一：频分方案
将用于传输信道的总带宽划分成若干子频段，每一个的子频段均可作为一个独立的传输信道使用，每个网络对应一个子频段。但是因为电力线环境中，可用频段不多，大多数共享网络中，只有一种频段可使用。所以该方案将一个频段拆分为多个子频段，会导致带宽的利用率降低。
现有技术方案二：时分方案
将一个传输通道进行时间分割，每一个时隙只能供一个网络使用，多个网络交替使用不同的时隙(例如在第一个时隙分配周期里面，网络1使用时隙1，网络2对应使用时隙2，然后网络3对应的使用时隙3；后面的周期时隙分配原则与该时隙非配周期相同)，具体可参见图3。该方案的缺点是：电力线网络中，多网络一般在根节点处出现互通现象，网络中大部分子节点只能与所属网络中的节点进行通信，由于每个网络独占一个时隙，网络带宽利用率成倍下降，业务时延增大，无法满足现有的应用需求。

附图说明

具体实施方式
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。
下面结合说明书附图对本发明实施例作进一步详细描述。
在本发明实施例中，由于网络信令属于网络控制信息，需要尽量保证网络信令在信道上可靠传输，因此需要给每个站点(与一个电力线网络对应)指定一个无竞争时隙用于传输网络信令，每个站点在指定的无竞争时隙发送网络信令时采用无竞争方式。站点发送数据帧时可以采用竞争方式发送。基于网络信令和数据业务发送的差异性，本发明实施例所提供的方法采用以下方式对多个电力线网络的时隙资源进行规划，具体包括：
实施例一
在该实施例中多个电力线网络组成电力线环境下的多网络系统，将该多个电力线网络的时隙资源被划分成多个网络时隙，并且每个网络时隙中包括一个信令时隙和一个数据时隙。具体的：
信令时隙：用于承载网络信令，由一个或多个信道无竞争周期(Contenttion Free Period，CFP)组成。网络信令中携带网络所对应的时隙信息、网络参数等网络控制信息，信道无竞争时隙属于独享时隙，在该时隙内的传输的数据可靠性高。
数据时隙：用于承载数据业务，由一个或多个信道竞争周期(Contenttion Period)组成，采用载波侦听多路访问(Carrier Sense Multiple Access，CSMA)竞争方式发送。信道竞争时隙属于共享时隙，由网络中所有站点共享使用，站点发送数据帧时采用竞争方式发送。
在本发明实施例中，多个网络之间进行时隙协调的主要机制是：任意两个电力线网络的信令时隙不重叠，某一电力线网络的数据时隙可以与其他网络的信令时隙或数据时隙重叠。信令时隙中数据被发送优先级高于数据时隙中数据被发送的优先级，当某一网络在数据时隙中监听到其他电力线网络在发送信令，则该电力线网络节点退避，等待信令发送结束。不同的电力线网络，需要 占用的信令时隙不同，所以意味着带宽也不同。通过本发明实施例提供的协调方法，可以将不同的电力线网络的信令时隙有序的错开，既保证信令时隙的不冲突，也要保证信令发送的周期性。
如图4所示，基于上述时隙资源的规划方法，本发明提供一种电力线环境下多个网络协调方法，当多个电力线网络包括第一电力线网络和第二电力线网络(该第二电力线网络可以包括多个)，第一电力线网络和第二电力线网络相邻(即第一电力线网络和第二电力线网络连接到同一条总线)，在一个时隙周期(在该实施例中，所述多个电力线网络中的每个电力线网络都分配了一个网络时隙则形成一个时隙周期)里第一电力线网络和第二电力线网络分别对应一个网络时隙，其中，每个网络时隙中包括一个信令时隙和一个数据时隙，该信令时隙用于承载网络信令，该数据时隙用于承载数据业务，方法具体包括：
步骤401，第一电力线网络的中央协调器获取所述第二电力线网络的信令时隙信息；
在本发明实施例中为了协调多个电力线网络，第一电力线网络在确定自身的信令时隙时，需要确定相邻电力线网络所对应的信令时隙是否与自身冲突，从而选择不与邻居网络的信令时隙重叠的信令时隙。
其中，多个电力线网络将自身的时隙信息通过一定的方式发送到相邻电力线网络，使得相邻电力线网络能够根据接收到时隙信息确定各相邻电力线网络的时隙，所以第一电力线网络的中央协调器获取第二电力线网络的信令时隙信息的具体实现方式可以是：
第一电力线网络的中央协调器接收多网络协调帧，从所述多网络协调帧中获取所述第二电力线网络的信令时隙信息。
进一步，该网络协调帧可以采用短帧结构。本发明实施例所采用的短帧结构可以是16字节长度的短帧结构。因为短帧发送成功率高，所以采用短帧结构能够提高协调效果；另外短帧发送耗时短，能够减少网络维护报文对带宽的占用，给业务留更多带宽提高带宽资源的有效利用率。
步骤402，第一电力线网络的中央协调器根据所述信令时隙信息确定第一电力线网络的预定信令时隙是否与第二电力线网络的信令时隙冲突；
在该实施例中，因为各电力线网络的信令时隙不能重叠，所以两个网络信令时隙在时间上有重叠部分则认为信令时隙冲突。(因为第一电力线网络在接 收到多网络协调帧时，可能已经分配好信令时隙(即预定信令时隙)。所以在接收到多网络协调帧确定邻居网络的信令时隙后，需要进一步的确定本网路的信令时隙是否与邻居网络的信令时隙冲突，并在冲突时进行协调。)
步骤403，如果所述预定信令时隙与第二电力线网络的信令时隙存在冲突，则根据预设的退避规则确定一个无竞争时隙作为第一电力线网络的信令时隙。
其中，根据预设的退避规则确定一个无竞争时隙(为了保证信令时隙的可靠性，所以第一电力线网络在于相邻的电力线网络协调后，需要保证确定的时隙是独享的时隙)作为所述第一电力线网络的信令时隙包括：
根据预设的退避规则判断所述第一电力线网络是否需要退避所述第二电力线网络；
如果是，则选择一个与第二电力线网络的信令时隙不冲突的信令时隙作为所述第一电力线网络的信令时隙；
否则，将所述预设信令时隙作为所述第一电力线网络的信令时隙；并且发送调整消息到第二电力线网络，使得第二电力线网络根据调整消息重新选择一个时隙作为自身的信令时隙。
在本发明实施例中，退避规则可以通过多种方法确定，只要通过该退避规则可以确保两个网络对应信令时隙不重叠即可，以下提供几种可选的实现方式，具体包括：
A，未开始的信令时隙退避已经开始的信令时隙；
B，无法接收到邻居网络的消息的网络退避可以接收到邻居网络的消息的网络；
C，网络标识号大的网络退避网络标识号小的网络；
D，比较网络的预设优先级，优先级低的网络退避优先级高的网络。
在该实施例中，两个网络出现冲突可以通过一种退避方式确定需要退避的网络；另外也可以利用多种退避方式组合之后确定需要退避的网络。
为了让各网络之间能够相互之间发送消息，协调信令时隙，在本发明实施例中可以采用短帧结构的多网络协调帧来交互信令时隙，具体的该多网络协调帧可以是表1所示的结构：
Figure PCTCN2015095065-appb-000001
表1
表1中各参数的具体含义(后续描述中出现的“本网络”，是指发送网络协调帧的中央协调器所在网络，在该实施例中则可以是第二电力线网络)：
定界符类型，用来表示帧类型，接收到该帧时，通过定界符可以确认是否为多网络协调帧。在该实施例中多网络协调帧的定界符值可以是0b011。
接入指示，用于指示链路层协议数据单元(MAC Protocol Data Unit， MPDU)发送所在的网络类型；其中，接入指示的长度为1比特。如果接入指示的取值为0b1，表示在宽带载波通信接入网络中传输；如果接入指示的取值0b0，表示在homeplug nv网络中传递。
短网络标识，用于区分不同的宽带载波通信网络；有效取值为1-15。每个宽带载波通信网络都必须有一个唯一的短网络标识(Short Network Identifier，SNID)。
短网络标识高位字节，用于表示站点可以接收到的宽带载波通信网络的短网络标识；短网络标识高位字节是一个9比特的字段，表示站点可以接收到的宽带载波通信网络的短网络标识。每一个比特对应一个短网络标识，比特0表示短网络标识为7的宽带载波通信网络，比特1表示短网络标识为8的网络，其余类推，表示的短网络标识范围为7-15。比特位值为0，表示该宽带载波通信网络的报文未接收过；比特位值为1，表示该宽带载波通信网络的报文可以接收到。
持续时间，用于表示本网络需要申请占用的时隙长度；持续时间是一个14比特的字段，表示本网络需要申请占用的时隙长度。单位：40ms。
协调标志位，用于表示当前MPDU是否为网间协调帧；协调标志位是1比特的字段。在网间协调帧中，该比特的值为1。
带宽结束标志位，用于表示本网络上个带宽周期是否已经结束；带宽结束标志位是1比特的字段，比特位的值为1，表示上个带宽周期已经结束；值为0，则表示上个带宽周期未结束。
短网络标识低位字节，用于表示站点可以接收到的宽带载波通信网络的短网络标识；短网络标识低位字节是一个6比特的字段，每一个比特对应一个SNID，比特0表示短网络标识为1的宽带载波通信网络，比特1表示短网络标识为2的网络，其余类推，表示的短网络标识范围为1-6。比特位的值为0，表示该宽带载波通信网络的报文未接收过；比特位的值为1，表示该宽带载波通信网络的报文可以接收到。
带宽结束偏移，上个带宽时隙结束时刻的时间偏移，单位：40ms。当上个带宽时隙已经结束时(带宽结束标志位为1)，该偏移时间，表示从上个带宽时隙结束时刻，到当前时刻的时间偏移。当上个带宽时隙未结束时(带宽结束标志位为0)，该偏移时间，表示从当前时刻，到当前带宽时隙结束时刻的 时间偏移。
带宽开始偏移，下个带宽时隙开始时刻的时间偏移，单位：40ms。当下个带宽时隙未开始时，该偏移时间，表示从当前时刻，到下个带宽时隙开始时刻的时间偏移。当下个带宽时隙已经开始时，该偏移时间的值为0。
进一步，因为本发明实施例所提供的方法是针对多网络的情况，所以每一个网络都会接收到多个邻居网络的多网络协调帧，为了统一的管理多个网络的时隙分配情况，基于上述表1多网络协调帧所提供的参数当前网络可以选用表格的形式对多个邻居网络的信息进行管理，具体可以将多网络协调帧的信息更新到临近网络信息表中，如表2所示：
Figure PCTCN2015095065-appb-000002
表2
根据表1所示的多网络协调帧结构，以及表2所提供的对多个邻居网络的信息管理方式，在本发明实施例中第一电力线网络的中央协调器根据所述信令时隙信息确定第一电力线网络的预定信令时隙是否与第二电力线网络的信令时隙冲突以及中央协调器选择与第二电力线网络的信令时隙不冲突的信令时隙作为所述第一电力线网络的信令时隙具体包括：
根据所述信令时隙信息中携带的持续时间、带宽结束标志位、带宽结束偏移和带宽开始偏移判断所述预定信令时隙是否与所述第二电力线网络的信令 时隙冲突。
在具体实现时，第一电力线网络的中央协调器可以根据第二电力线网络对应的时隙持续时间确定第二电力线网络对应的第二时隙所占用的时长，然后再根据带宽标志位确定上个网络时隙是否已经结束；如果结束，则利用该带宽结束偏移对应的偏移时间，确定从上个带宽时隙结束时刻，到当前时刻的时间偏移；另外还利用带宽开始偏移，用于确定下个带宽时隙是否开始，如果未开始，则可以根据该偏移时间，确定当前时刻，到下个带宽时隙开始时刻的时间偏移。
因为持续时间、带宽结束标志位、带宽结束偏移和带宽开始偏移给出了每个电力线网络在两个时隙周期里面所会占用的时隙，所以在判断是否冲突的时候就可以根据持续时间、带宽结束标志位、带宽结束偏移和带宽开始偏移确定时隙是否冲突。另外，在选择无竞争时隙作为第一电力线网络的信令时隙时，也可以是根据持续时间、带宽结束标志位、带宽结束偏移和带宽开始偏移所确定的每个电力线网络所占用的时间来避免信令时隙的重叠，从而避免冲突。
实施例二
如图5所示，本实施例提供一种中央协调器，该中央协调器500设置于多个电力线网络的第一电力线网络中，该多个电力线网络还包括第二电力线网络，第一电力线网络和第二电力线网络相邻，并且在一个时隙周期里第一电力线网络和第二电力线网络分别对应一个网络时隙，其中，每个网络时隙中包括一个信令时隙和一个数据时隙，所述信令时隙用于承载网络信令，所述数据时隙用于承载数据业务，该中央协调器包括：
获取单元501，用于获取所述第二电力线网络的信令时隙信息；
在本发明实施例中为了协调多个电力线网络，第一电力线网络在确定自身的信令时隙时，需要确定相邻电力线网络所对应的信令时隙是否与自身冲突，从而选择不与邻居网络的信令时隙重叠的信令时隙。
其中，多个电力线网络将自身的时隙信息通过一定的方式发送到相邻电力线网络，使得相邻电力线网络能够根据接收到时隙信息确定各相邻电力线网络的时隙，所以：
该获取单元501还用于接收多网络协调帧，从所述多网络协调帧中获取所述第二电力线网络的信令时隙信息，其中，所述网络协调帧为短帧结构。

本申请实施例中的上述一个或多个技术方案，至少具有如下的技术效果：
本发明提供的方法首先将信令时隙和数据时隙区分开，并利用多网络协调信令时隙的方式确定各网络对应的信令时隙，并且可以将不同的网络的信令时隙尽量的有序的错开，既保证信令时隙的不冲突(即避免了共享网络中信号干扰和衰减)，也保证了信令发送的周期性；另外本发明提供的方法还可以提高多网络带宽利用率。
另外，各网络在协调信令时隙时采用短帧发送消息，因为短帧发送成功率高，所以采用短帧结构能够提高协调效果；另外短帧发送耗时短，能够减少网络维护报文对带宽的占用，给业务留更多带宽提高带宽资源的有效利用率。
本发明所述的方法并不限于具体实施方式中所述的实施例，本领域技术人员根据本发明的技术方案得出其它的实施方式，同样属于本发明的技术创新范围。
显然，本领域的技术人员可以对本发明进行各种改动和变型而不脱离本发明的精神和范围。这样，倘若本发明的这些修改和变型属于本发明权利要求及其等同技术的范围之内，则本发明也意图包含这些改动和变型在内。
