Description

一种波束调整方法及装置 技术领域
本发明涉及无线网络技术领域,尤其涉及一种波束调整方法及装置。
背景技术
IEEE 802.11ad是规范工作在60GHz频带上的无线局域网(Wireless Local Area Network,WLAN)设备的技术协议,采用802.11ad协议进行通信的网络通常被称为定向数吉比特(Directional Multi Gigabit,DMG)网络,在DMG网络中通常由一个接入点和多个站点构成,DMG网络中的接入点由于频带特性通常采用定向天线向各个站点发送数据,定向天线与传统的全向天线不同,定向天线通常对于某一个站点存在接收信号质量最好的最优发送波束。接入点与站点之间最优发送波束的选择通常是通过波束成形训练(beamforming training,BF training)进行选择,BF training过程分为两个阶段,第一阶段是扇区级扫描(sector-level sweep,SLS),第二阶段是波束调整协议(Beam Refinement Protocol,BRP),SLS阶段一般对接入点与站点进行粗略的调整,BRP阶段在SLS的基础上对接入点和站点之间进行精确的训练和调整。其中BRP阶段的波束调整步骤(Beam Refinement Transaction,BRT)用于调整接入点和站点之间的发送波束和/或接收波束。当用来调整接入点的发送波束时,具体的调整步骤如下:
接入点单播BRP帧给一个站点,该BRP帧后面附带多个发送训练(Transmit training,TRN-T)域,每个TRN-T域以不同的发送波束发送;
该站点接收到该BRP帧及其后面附带的多个TRN-T域,并测量其信道参数,该站点向接入点回复BRP帧,并在BRP帧中标识出接收信号质量最优的TRN-T域;
接入点根据该站点的回复确定自己对于该站点的最优发送波束。
现有技术中,当接入点调整自己的发送波束时,每次只能给一个站点单播BRP帧及其BRP帧后面附带的多个不同发送波束发送的TRN-T域;一次传输 只能调整接入点对于一个站点的发送波束,由于TRN-T域是一个非常长的序列,传输耗时很长,因此现有技术中接入点的发送波束调整方式效率极低。

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。
本发明实施例的波束调整方法可以应用于支持802.11ad协议的DMG网络中。如图1所示,为一个典型的WLAN部署场景的系统示意图,在网络中包括一个接入点和多个站点STA,接入点分别与站点STA1、STA2以及STA3进行通信。接入站点可以为个人基本服务集(BSS)控制点(personal basic service set(PBSS)control point,PCP)或者接入点(Access Point,AP),PCP在PBSS中协调其他终端站点接入无线媒介。AP对WLAN中的终端站点提供接入服务,以及进行管理和协调终端站点等。由于DMG网络的频带特性,PCP/AP通常采用定向天线向STA1、STA2以及STA3发送数据。采用定向天线则需要找到分别向STA1、STA2以及STA3发送数据的最优发送波束,以使站点接收信号质量最好。通常接入点是通过BF training获得向各个站点发送数据的最优发送波束。
进行BF training的两个站点分别作为发起方和响应方。在DMG网络的PCP/AP和STA之间的BF training过程中,PCP/AP一般作为发起方,STA一般作为响应方。BF training过程分为两个阶段。第一阶段是SLS,第二阶段是BRP,其中BRP阶段包含波束调整步骤,波束调整步骤即是用来调整PCP/AP和/或STA的发送波束和/或接收波束。本发明实施例中,当用来调整PCP/AP的发送波束,以获得PCP/AP向STA发送数据的最优发送波束时,PCP/AP以广播或者组播的形式发送BRP帧,该BRP帧后面附带多个以不同发送波束发送的TRN-T域,接收到该BRP帧的多个站点中的每个站点依次测量接收该不同发送波束发送的TRN-T域的接收信号质量,如图1所示,若STA1、STA2以及STA3均接收到该BRP帧,则每个站点均接收并测量自身接收BRP帧后的TRN-T域的接收信号质量,并将接收信号质量最优的目标TRN-T域返回到 PCP/AP,PCP/AP则将该目标TRN-T域对应的发送波束确定为向该站点发送数据的最优发送波束,需要说明的是,STA1、STA2以及STA3中各个站点所返回的目标TRN-T域可能不同,因此各个站点所对应的最优发送波束可能不同。由于这种波束调整方式中,PCP/AP发送一次BRP帧可以调整多个站点的发送波束,因此调整效率高。
请参照图2,为本发明实施例提供的一种波束调整方法的流程示意图,如图所示,本实施例的波束调整方法包括步骤S200-S202;
S200,接入点发送BRP帧,所述BRP帧后面附带多个以不同发送波束发送的发送训练域,以使接收所述BRP帧的多个站点接收并测量所述不同发送波束发送的发送训练域的接收信号质量;
本发明实施例中,PCP/AP可以发送一个BRP帧给多个STA,在BRP帧中标识为进行发送波束调整的训练,该BRP帧后面附带多个TRN-T域,TRN-T域为非常长用于进行波束训练的的序列,一个TRN-T域对应一个序列。PCP/AP根据要训练的发送波束的数量,附加相同数量的TRN-T域在BRP帧后面。每个TRN-T域以不同的要训练的发送波束发送,这些波束一般是基于SLS阶段的天线训练结果进行选取的。
接收到该BRP帧的多个STA中的每个STA继续接收附加在BRP帧后面的多个TRN-T域并测量其信道参数,由于附加在BRP帧后面的多个TRN-T域以不同的发送波束进行发送,且各个STA与PCP/AP之间的相对位置不同,因此每个STA在测量接收同一个TRN-T域时所测得的接收信号质量不同。
S201,所述接入点向所述多个站点中的每个站点发送轮询帧,所述轮询帧用于获取该站点对接收信号质量的测量结果;
本发明实施例中,多个STA中的每个STA在测量接收不同发送波束发送的TRN-T域的接收信号质量之后,等待PCP/AP的轮询。PCP/AP向接收BRP帧的多个站点中的每个站点依次发送轮询帧。可选的,PCP/AP发送轮询帧的方式可以是,PCP/AP向某一个STA发送轮询帧后,等待一段特定长度的时间, 若在该时段内,PCP/AP收到该STA回复的BRP帧,则PCP/AP立即向下一个STA发送轮询帧。若在该时段内,PCP/AP未收到该STA回复的BRP帧,则在该时段结束后向下一个STA发送轮询帧。
具体可选的,如图5所示,即是本发明提供的一种PCP/AP与STA之间交互的示意图;如图所示,PCP/AP发送BRP帧,该BRP帧后面附带多个TRN-T域,STA1、STA2以及STA3分别可以接收到该BRP帧,等待一段时间后,PCP/AP向STA1发送第一轮询帧,STA1收到第一轮询帧后,向PCP/AP回复BRP帧,其中携带STA1所测量的接收信号质量的测量结果;PCP/AP当接收到STA1返回的BRP帧后,立即向STA2发送第二轮询帧,STA2收到第二轮询帧后,向PCP/AP回复BRP帧,其中携带STA2所测量的接收信号质量的测量结果;PCP/AP当接收到STA2返回的BRP帧后,立即向STA3发送第三轮询帧,STA3收到第三轮询帧后,向PCP/AP回复BRP帧,其中携带STA3所测量的接收信号质量的测量结果。
需要说明的是,PCP/AP用定向天线(例如,天线只朝向某一个或几个相邻的目标扇区)发送BRP帧,因此只有该目标扇区内的STA能够接收到该BRP帧。PCP/AP在SLS阶段可以获知哪些STA对应于自己的哪个扇区,因此PCP/AP知道要向哪些STA发送轮询帧。
PCP/AP向STA发送轮询帧的目的在于获取该STA对接收信号质量的测量结果,可选的,测量结果可以是该STA测量的接收不同发送波束发送的TRN-T域的接收信号质量中信号质量最优的目标发送训练域或者该目标发送训练域的标识,也可以是该STA测量的接收不同发送波束发送的TRN-T域的接收信号质量中信号质量最优的几个TRN-T域(例如,根据信号质量进行排序,排序在最前的几个TRN-T域),测量结果在此不作限定。
S202,所述接入点根据所述每个站点返回的所述测量结果获取该站点接收信号质量最优的目标发送训练域所对应的目标发送波束,并将所述目标发送波束确定为所述接入点向所述站点发送数据的最优发送波束。
本发明实施例中,STA接收到PCP/AP发送的轮询帧后,回复BRP帧,BRP帧中携带测量结果,例如若测量结果为接收信号质量最好的目标TRN-T域,则在BRP帧中标识出目标TRN-T域。
无论测量结果以何种形式存在,PCP/AP均根据每个STA返回的测量结果获取该站点接收信号质量最优的目标TRN-T域所对应的目标发送波束,目标TRN-T域所对应的目标发送波束即是在PCP/AP发送BRP帧时,以该目标发送波束发送该目标TRN-T域。PCP/AP将目标发送波束确定为PCP/AP向该STA发送数据的最优发送波束。需要说明的是,若未找到最优发送波束,则PCP/AP采用其它发送波束发送多个TRN-T域,并重复上述过程。
本发明实施例中,接入点发送BRP帧,该BRP帧后面附带多个以不同发送波束发送的发送训练域,接收该BRP帧的多个站点接收并测量该BRP帧后附带的多个不同发送波束发送的发送训练域的接收信号质量,接入点向多个站点中每个站点发送轮询帧,该轮询帧用于获取该站点对接收信号质量的测量结果,接入点根据每个站点返回的测量结果获取该站点接收信号质量最优的目标发送训练域所对应的目标发送波束,并将该目标发送波束确定为接入点向该站点发送数据的最优发送波束。这种方式可以通过发送一次BRP帧调整接入点对于多个站点的最优发送波束,调整效率高。

S302,所述接入点根据所述多个站点中每个站点的站点标识,向所述站点标识所标识的站点发送轮询帧。
本发明实施例中,由于PCP/AP是向目标扇区广播发送BRP帧,因此目标扇区内的所有STA均可以接收到该BRP帧,后续PCP/AP需要一一向目标扇区内的STA发送轮询帧,由于在SLS阶段的天线训练结果中,PCP/AP可以获知每一个扇区内的STA的站点标识,因此在波束调整步骤中,PCP/AP可以依次向所获知的每个站点标识所标识的STA发送轮询帧。可选的,具体发送轮询帧的方式可以是,PCP/AP向某一个STA发送轮询帧后,等待一段特定长度的时间。若在该时段内,PCP/AP收到该STA回复的BRP帧,则PCP/AP立即向下一个STA发送轮询帧。若在该时段内,PCP/AP未收到该STA回复的BRP帧,则在该时段结束后向下一个STA发送轮询帧。

无论测量结果以何种形式存在,PCP/AP处理模块101均根据每个STA返回的测量结果获取该站点接收信号质量最优的目标TRN-T域所对应的目标发送波束,目标TRN-T域所对应的目标发送波束即是在PCP/AP发送BRP帧时,以该目标发送波束发送该目标TRN-T域。PCP/AP将目标发送波束确定为PCP/AP向该STA发送数据的最优发送波束。需要说明的是,若未找到最优发送波束,则PCP/AP采用其它发送波束发送多个TRN-T域,并重复上述过程。
本发明实施例中,接入点发送BRP帧,该BRP帧后面附带多个以不同发送波束发送的发送训练域,接收该BRP帧的多个站点接收并测量该BRP帧后附带的多个不同发送波束发送的发送训练域的接收信号质量,接入点向多个站点中每个站点发送轮询帧,该轮询帧用于获取该站点对接收信号质量的测量结果,接入点根据每个站点返回的测量结果获取该站点接收信号质量最优的目标发送训练域所对应的目标发送波束,并将该目标发送波束确定为接入点向该站点发送数据的最优发送波束。这种方式可以通过发送一次BRP帧调整接入点对于多个站点的最优发送波束,调整效率高。
请参照图10,为本发明实施例提供的另一种波束调整装置的结构示意图,本实施例的波束调整装置应用于接入点。图10的实施例中,接入点20包括天线200、发射机201、接收机202、处理器203和存储器204。处理器203控制接入点20的操作,并可用于处理信号。存储器204可以包括只读存储器和随机存取存储器,并向处理器203提供指令和数据。发射机201和接收机202可以耦合到天线200,接入点20的各个组件通过总线系统205耦合在一起,其中总线系统205除包括数据总线之外,还包括电源总线、控制总线和状态信号总线。但是为了清楚说明起见,在图中将各种总线都标为总线系统205。
具体地,存储器204可存储执行以下过程的指令:
接入点发送BRP帧,所述BRP帧后面附带多个以不同发送波束发送的发送训练域,以使接收所述BRP帧的多个站点接收并测量所述不同发送波束发送的发送训练域的接收信号质量;
所述接入点向所述多个站点中的每个站点发送轮询帧,所述轮询帧用于获取该站点对接收信号质量的测量结果;
所述接入点根据所述每个站点返回的所述测量结果获取该站点接收信号质量最优的目标发送训练域所对应的目标发送波束,并将所述目标发送波束确定为所述接入点向所述站点发送数据的最优发送波束。
可选的,PCP/AP可以发送一个BRP帧给多个STA,在BRP帧中标识为进行发送波束调整的训练,该BRP帧后面附带多个TRN-T域,TRN-T域为非常长用于进行波束训练的的序列,一个TRN-T域对应一个序列。PCP/AP根据要训练的发送波束的数量,附加相同数量的TRN-T域在BRP帧后面。每个TRN-T域以不同的要训练的发送波束发送,这些波束一般是基于SLS阶段的天线训练结果进行选取的。
接收到该BRP帧的多个STA中的每个STA继续接收附加在BRP帧后面的多个TRN-T域并测量其信道参数,由于附加在BRP帧后面的多个TRN-T域以不同的发送波束进行发送,且各个STA与PCP/AP之间的相对位置不同,因此每个STA在测量接收同一个TRN-T域时所测得的接收信号质量不同。
可选的,多个STA中的每个STA在测量接收不同发送波束发送的TRN-T域的接收信号质量之后,等待PCP/AP的轮询。PCP/AP向接收BRP帧的多个站点中的每个站点依次发送轮询帧。可选的,PCP/AP发送轮询帧的方式可以是,PCP/AP向某一个STA发送轮询帧后,等待一段特定长度的时间,若在该时段内,PCP/AP收到该STA回复的BRP帧,则PCP/AP立即向下一个STA发送轮询帧。若在该时段内,PCP/AP未收到该STA回复的BRP帧,则在该时段结束后向下一个STA发送轮询帧。
具体可选的,如图5所示,即是本发明提供的一种PCP/AP与STA之间交互的示意图;如图所示,PCP/AP发送BRP帧,该BRP帧后面附带多个TRN-T域,STA1、STA2以及STA3分别可以接收到该BRP帧,等待一段时间后,PCP/AP向STA1发送第一轮询帧,STA1收到第一轮询帧后,向PCP/AP回复BRP帧,其中携带STA1所测量的接收信号质量的测量结果;PCP/AP当接收到STA1返回的BRP帧后,立即向STA2发送第二轮询帧,STA2收到第二轮询帧后,向PCP/AP回复BRP帧,其中携带STA2所测量的接收信号质量的测量结果;PCP/AP当接收到STA2返回的BRP帧后,立即向STA3发送第三轮询帧,STA3收到第三轮询帧后,向PCP/AP回复BRP帧,其中携带STA3所测量的接收信号质量的测量结果。
需要说明的是,PCP/AP用定向天线(例如,天线只朝向某一个或几个相邻的目标扇区)发送BRP帧,因此只有该目标扇区内的STA能够接收到该BRP帧。PCP/AP在SLS阶段可以获知哪些STA对应于自己的哪个扇区,因此PCP/AP知道要向哪些STA发送轮询帧。
PCP/AP向STA发送轮询帧的目的在于获取该STA对接收信号质量的测量结果,可选的,测量结果可以是该STA测量的接收不同发送波束发送的TRN-T域的接收信号质量中信号质量最优的目标发送训练域或者该目标发送训练域的标识,也可以是该STA测量的接收不同发送波束发送的TRN-T域的接收信号质量中信号质量最优的几个TRN-T域(例如,根据信号质量进行排序,排序在最前的几个TRN-T域),测量结果在此不作限定。
可选的,STA接收到PCP/AP发送的轮询帧后,回复BRP帧,BRP帧中携带测量结果,例如若测量结果为接收信号质量最好的目标TRN-T域,则在BRP帧中标识出目标TRN-T域。
无论测量结果以何种形式存在,PCP/AP均根据每个STA返回的测量结果获取该站点接收信号质量最优的目标TRN-T域所对应的目标发送波束,目标TRN-T域所对应的目标发送波束即是在PCP/AP发送BRP帧时,以该目标发 送波束发送该目标TRN-T域。PCP/AP将目标发送波束确定为PCP/AP向该STA发送数据的最优发送波束。需要说明的是,若未找到最优发送波束,则PCP/AP采用其它发送波束发送多个TRN-T域,并重复上述过程。
进一步的,所述接入点发送BRP帧,包括:
所述接入点向目标扇区广播BRP帧,所述目标扇区包括多个站点,所述BRP帧包括广播MAC地址。
可选的,PCP/AP可以是以广播的形式向目标扇区广播BRP帧,目标扇区包括多个STA,BRP帧的目的地址为广播媒体访问控制(Media Access Control,MAC)地址,因此在目标扇区内的STA均可以收到该BRP帧。BRP帧中标识为进行发送波束调整的训练,该BRP帧后面附带多个不同发送波束发送的TRN-T域,TRN-T域的数量与需要进行训练的发送波束的数量一一对应,即是一个TRN-T域以一种发送波束发送。需要训练的发送波束是根据SLS阶段的天线训练结果所选取的。
基于上述实施例,所述接入点向目标扇区广播BRP帧之前,还包括:
所述接入点通过扇区级扫描阶段获得目标扇区内的所述多个站点中每个站点的站点标识;

所述接入点根据所述多个站点中每个站点的站点标识,向所述站点标识所标识的站点发送轮询帧。
可选的,目标扇区可以为定向天线的某一个扇区或者为定向天线的某几个相邻扇区。PCP/AP在SLS阶段与目标扇区内的STA进行波束成形训练时,可以获得目标扇区内的多个站点中每个站点的站点信息,站点信息可以为该站点的站点标识。
可选的,由于PCP/AP是向目标扇区广播发送BRP帧,因此目标扇区内的所有STA均可以接收到该BRP帧,后续PCP/AP需要一一向目标扇区内的STA发送轮询帧,由于在SLS阶段的天线训练结果中,PCP/AP可以获知每一 个扇区内的STA的站点标识,因此在波束调整步骤中,PCP/AP可以依次向所获知的每个站点标识所标识的STA发送轮询帧。可选的,具体发送轮询帧的方式可以是,PCP/AP向某一个STA发送轮询帧后,等待一段特定长度的时间。若在该时段内,PCP/AP收到该STA回复的BRP帧,则PCP/AP立即向下一个STA发送轮询帧。若在该时段内,PCP/AP未收到该STA回复的BRP帧,则在该时段结束后向下一个STA发送轮询帧。
进一步的,作为另一实施例,所述接入点发送BRP帧,包括:
所述接入点组播BRP帧,所述BRP帧携带组标识,所述组标识用于标识接收所述BRP帧的多个站点。
可选的,PCP/AP可以是以组播的形式发送BRP帧,该BRP帧中携带组标识,该组标识用于标识接收该BRP帧的多个站点,例如组标识可以是组播MAC地址或者组标识(Group ID)。BRP帧中标识为进行发送波束调整的训练,该BRP帧后面附带多个不同发送波束发送的TRN-T域,TRN-T域的数量与需要进行训练的发送波束的数量一一对应,即是一个TRN-T域以一种发送波束发送。需要训练的发送波束是根据SLS阶段的天线训练结果所选取的。
基于上述实施例,所述接入点向所述多个站点中的每个站点发送轮询帧,包括:
所述接入点向所述BRP帧中所携带的所述组标识所标识的站点发送轮询帧。
可选的,PCP/AP向BRP帧中所携带的组标识所标识的STA发送轮询帧,通常多个STA拥有同一个组标识。可选的,具体发送轮询帧的方式可以是,PCP/AP向某一个STA发送轮询帧后,等待一段特定长度的时间。若在该时段内,PCP/AP收到该STA回复的BRP帧,则PCP/AP立即向下一个STA发送轮询帧。若在该时段内,PCP/AP未收到该STA回复的BRP帧,则在该时段结束后向下一个STA发送轮询帧。
本发明实施例中,接入点发送BRP帧,该BRP帧后面附带多个以不同发送 波束发送的发送训练域,接收该BRP帧的多个站点接收并测量该BRP帧后附带的多个不同发送波束发送的发送训练域的接收信号质量,接入点向多个站点中每个站点发送轮询帧,该轮询帧用于获取该站点对接收信号质量的测量结果,接入点根据每个站点返回的测量结果获取该站点接收信号质量最优的目标发送训练域所对应的目标发送波束,并将该目标发送波束确定为接入点向该站点发送数据的最优发送波束。这种方式可以通过发送一次BRP帧调整接入点对于多个站点的最优发送波束,调整效率高。
请参照图11,为本发明实施例提供的又一种波束调整装置的结构示意图,本实施例的波束调整装置应用于站点;如图所示,所述波束调整装置包括:
收发模块300,用于接收接入点发送的BRP帧,所述BRP帧后面附带多个以不同发送波束发送的发送训练域;
本发明实施例中,若PCP/AP以广播的形式向目标扇区广播发送BRP帧,则在目标扇区内的STA可以接收到该BRP帧;若PCP/AP以组播的形式发送BRP帧,则组标识与BRP帧中的组标识匹配一致的STA可以接收到该BRP帧。BRP帧中标识为进行发送波束调整的训练,该BRP帧后面附带多个不同发送波束发送的TRN-T域,TRN-T域的数量与需要进行训练的发送波束的数量一一对应,即是一个TRN-T域以一种发送波束发送。需要训练的发送波束是根据SLS阶段的天线训练结果所选取的。
处理模块301,用于根据所述BRP帧,接收并测量所述不同发送波束发送的发送训练域的接收信号质量,并根据所述接收信号质量生成测量结果;
本发明实施例中,STA接收到BRP帧后,处理模块301对BRP帧进行判断分析以确定是否继续接收并测量BRP帧后面附带的多个TRN-T域的接收信号质量,可选的,确定方式需要根据PCP/AP发送BRP帧的方式进行确定,例如,若PCP/AP以组播的形式发送BRP帧,则STA需要将自身的组标识与BRP帧中的组标识进行匹配,若匹配一致,则继续接收并测量BRP帧后面附 带的多个TRN-T域的接收信号质量。
STA根据所测量的接收信号质量生成测量结果,具体的生成方式可以有多种,例如可以是分别将STA所测量的不同TRN-T域的接收信号质量按照从优到差的顺序进行排序,并选取排序在最前的预设个数的TRN-T域作为测量结果;或者生成测量结果的生成方式也可以是将STA所测量的不同TRN-T域的接收信号质量中接收信号质量最优的目标TRN-T域或者该TRN-T域的标识目标作为测量结果。
可选的,若所述接入点向第一目标扇区广播发送所述BRP帧,且所述BRP帧包括所述第一目标扇区的第一标识;
所述收发模块300还用于通过扇区级扫描阶段获得所述站点所属第二目标扇区,并保存所述第二目标扇区的第二标识;
本发明实施例中,PCP/AP与STA之间进行波束成形训练时,STA收发模块300可以通过波束成形训练的SLS阶段获得该STA所属第二目标扇区,STA保存该第二目标扇区的第二标识。需要说明的是,第二标识可以是由该STA所对应的发送天线标识(TX Antenna ID)和发送扇区标识(TX Sector ID)组成。
所述处理模块根据所述BRP帧,接收并测量接收所述不同发送波束发送的发送训练域的接收信号质量具体包括:
所述处理模块301将所述BRP帧中的所述第一标识与所述第二标识进行匹配,若匹配一致,则接收并测量所述不同发送波束发送的发送训练域的接收信号质量。
本发明实施例中,当PCP/AP以广播的形式在第一目标扇区内广播发送BRP帧,且BRP帧包括第一目标扇区的第一标识;第一标识也可以是由发送天线标识(TX Antenna ID)和发送扇区标识(TX Sector ID)组成。按照常理,PCP/AP在第一目标扇区广播发送BRP帧,则只有第一目标扇区内的STA可以接收到该BRP帧,但是也可能存在例外情况,例如,某一个STA处于第一 目标扇区的边缘部分,但不属于第一目标扇区,则也可能接收到该BRP帧,因此为了能够确保PCP/AP是对第一目标扇区内的STA进行发送波束训练,则处理模块301需要将BRP帧中的第一标识与STA自身的第二标识进行匹配,若匹配一致,则接收并测量不同发送波束发送的TRN-T域的接收信号质量,并根据该接收信号质量生成测量结果。
具体可选的,STA接收到该BRP帧后,继续检查其中的BRP请求域(BRP Request field)中的TX Antenna ID和/或TX Sector ID是否与自己在SLS阶段训练得到的PCP/AP对应于自己的TX Antenna ID和/或TX Sector ID一致。若匹配一致,则继续接收附加在其后面的多个TRN-T域并测量其信道参数,然后等待PCP/AP的轮询帧;否则,扔掉该BRP帧并不再接收附加在其后面的多个TRN-T域。
需要说明的是,测量结果的存在形式可以有多种,在此不作限定。例如可以是分别将STA所测量的不同TRN-T域的接收信号质量按照从优到差的顺序进行排序,并选取排序在最前的预设个数的TRN-T域作为测量结果;或者可以是将STA所测量的不同TRN-T域的接收信号质量中接收信号质量最优的目标TRN-T域或者该TRN-T域的标识目标作为测量结果。

本发明实施例中,当PCP/AP以组播的形式发送BRP帧,在该BRP帧中携带第一组标识,该第一组标识用于标识接收该BRP帧的STA,通常多个STA的组标识相同,因此采样组播的形式发送BRP帧时,可以有多个STA收到该 BRP帧。组标识可以是组播MAC地址。在BRP帧中标识为进行发送波束调整的训练,并在BRP帧后面附加多个TRN-T域。
STA处理模块301接收到BRP帧后,将自身的第二组标识与BRP帧中的第一组标识进行匹配,若匹配一致,则继续接收并测量该BRP帧后面附带的多个TRN-T域的接收信号质量,并根据接收信号质量生成测量结果。需要说明的是,测量结果的存在形式可以有多种,在此不作限定。例如可以是分别将STA所测量的不同TRN-T域的接收信号质量按照从优到差的顺序进行排序,并选取排序在最前的预设个数的TRN-T域作为测量结果;或者可以是将STA所测量的不同TRN-T域的接收信号质量中接收信号质量最优的目标TRN-T域或者该TRN-T域的标识目标作为测量结果。
