直连链路的建立方法及其实现数据传输的方法和节点 技术领域
本申请涉及但不限于无线局域网(WLAN,Wireless Local Area Network)技术,尤指一种直连链路的建立方法及其实现数据传输的方法和节点。
背景技术
无线局域网(WLAN,Wireless LAN)的基本结构为一个接入点站点(AP,Access Point)以及与该AP相关联的多个非接入点站点(non-AP STA,non-AP Station)组成的一个基本服务集(BSS,Basic Service Set),如图1所示,图1为相关技术中WLAN的基本架构示意图。在图1所示的网络结构下,数据在AP汇聚和分发,即通信一般只发生在non-AP STA和AP之间,AP和non-AP STA的关系,类似在蜂窝网中基站和终端的关系。图1中的AP即是与non-AP STA关联的主节点。本文中,将AP、基站、网状网络(Mesh)站点等统称为主节点,non-AP STA、终端等统称为次节点,且认为主节点和次节点不是对等关系,而主节点和主节点,次节点与次节点为对等关系即对等站点。近年来,对等站点之间的通信需求不断增长,在各个技术领域也出现了对应的技术,比如:在WLAN中提出了同一个BSS内non-AP STA之间进行直连通信的通道直接链路建立(TDLS,Tunnel Direct Link Setup)/直接链路建立(DLS,Direct Link Setup)等技术;再如:蜂窝网提出了支持终端与终端之间通信的设备到设备(D2D,Device-to-Device)等技术;另外,AP站点之间也可以使用Mesh网络等技术进行通信。
目前,随着更多的人使用WLAN进行数据通信,WLAN网络负载也在不断加重,且随着用户数目的增多或WLAN网络之间的干扰,WLAN网络的效率也出现了明显下降的趋势,因此,IEEE标准组织成立了相关的任务小组致力于解决WLAN网络效率问题。其中,网络密集部署情况下的干扰避免和效率提升的技术成为了讨论的热点,正在讨论的技术中包括支持新标准的站点在发送的新格式无线帧的物理层帧头中加入BSS网络标识(Color bits)、站点标识(STA ID)、上行/下行指示(UL/DL flag),及空间复用参数、预 约传输时长等控制信息,这样,检测到该无线帧的站点就可以提前根据这些控制信息判断后续的无线帧负载或该传输的基本情况,从而决定下一步的操作。这种新格式的无线帧统称为高效(HE,high efficiency)无线帧。举个例子来看,Color bits信息指示了BSS的网络标识,AP确定并将Color bits信息通知给关联的站点,所有的站点在发送的无线帧中都会携带该Color bits信息,站点可以根据检测到的无线帧中指示的Color bits信息来判断该无线帧是否属于自己关联的BSS,并根据上下行指示判断该无线帧是从AP发送到站点的下行链路(Downlink)还是从站点发送到AP的上行链路(uplink)。
当站点根据Color bits信息判定无线帧为关联的BSS的帧,且根据后续的指示判定自身不是该无线帧的接收方,比如该无线帧指示为上行帧,是发送给AP的,那么,BSS内的non-AP站点可以选择不接收后面的数据负载,且不竞争信道,以免对本BSS正在进行的传输造成干扰;当站点根据Color bits信息指示判定无线帧不属于关联的BSS的帧,那么,站点可以根据该无线帧的能量、干扰水平等信息选择进行空间复用,从而增加传输机会。总之,根据BSS的网络标识、上下行指示等信息可以帮助BSS之间更有效地利用无线资源。
上述在HE无线帧的物理层帧头携带控制信息的技术有效地解决了基础构架BSS内数据传输的干扰问题,但是,现有技术的以AP和non-AP STA之间的传输考虑效率提升方案中,没有考虑对等站点之间建立的直连链路和传输过程对基础构架BSS的传输造成的影响,也没有考虑多个直连链路之间的相互影响。

本发明的实施方式
下文中将结合附图对本发明实施例进行详细说明。需要说明的是,在不冲突的情况下,本申请中的实施例及实施例中的特征可以相互任意组合。
本发明实施例提供的直连链路的建立方法包括:第一节点与第二节点之间建立直连链路,并按照预先设置的直连控制信息确定策略,确定建立好的直连链路对应的直连控制信息。
其中,直连控制信息确定策略可以包括但不限于:
第一节点与第二节点之间协商确定;或者,
将预先设置好直连链路所使用的直连控制信息确定为建立好的直连链路对应的直连控制信息;或者,
当第一节点和第二节点为次节点时,建立好的直连链路对应的直连控制 信息为由主节点确定的直连控制信息,比如:主节点广播直连标识,或主节点分配直连标识,或主节点根据基础网络架构的网络标识确定直连标识,等等。
本发明实施例的方法通过为直连链路确定专门的用于标识直连链路的直连控制信息,实现了对直连链路的建立和传输过程进行优化,使得直连链路很好地区别于基础网络架构的链路,从而提高了网络效率。
图2为本发明实施例的直连链路的一种建立方法的流程图,当直连控制信息确定策略为:第一节点与第二节点之间协商确定时,如图2所示,本实施例的直连链路的建立方法包括:
步骤200:第一节点向第二节点发送直连链路请求帧,直连链路请求帧中指示有第一节点可用的一个或多个直连控制信息。
其中,第一节点与第二节点为对等站点,且属于同一个网络或BSS。
其中,直连控制信息包括以下至少之一:直连链路的直连标识、传输方向值。其中,直连标识为直连链路使用的网络标识,如color值。
其中,当上述对等站点(即第一节点和第二节点)为主节点时,直连链路的传输方向值可以指示为上行;当对等站点为次节点时,直连链路的传输方向值可以指示为下行。
步骤201:第一节点接收来自第二节点的直连链路响应帧,直连链路响应帧中指示有第二节点可用的一个或多个直连控制信息。
步骤202:第一节点向第二节点发送直连链路确认帧,直连链路确认帧中指示有确定出的直连链路使用的直连控制信息。
其中,第一节点根据自身可用的一个或多个直连控制信息,以及第二节点返回的第二节点可用的一个或多个直连控制信息,确定第一节点与第二节点间建立的直连链路使用的直连控制信息。
其中,确定第一节点与第二节点间建立的直连链路使用的直连控制信息可以采用以下策略:
第一站点可用的直连控制信息的集合与第一站点可用的直连控制信息的集合的交集中的任一个作为确定出的直连控制信息;如果二者没有交集,那 么,第一站点从自身可用的集合或第二节点可用的集合中任选一个作为确定出的直连控制信息;或者,
也可以限定第二节点返回的直连控制信息的集合为第一站点发送的可用集合的子集,这样,第一站点从第二站点返回的可用集合中选择出任一个作为确定出的直连控制信息即可;等等。
需要说明的是,当第一节点和第二节点为次节点时,上述直连链路请求帧、直连链路响应帧、直连链路确认帧可以通过第一节点和第二节点关联的主节点进行中转。
在示例性实现方式中,当第一节点和第二节点为次节点时,图2所示的直连链路的建立方法还可以包括:
第一节点向其关联的主节点发送通知帧,在通知帧中至少包括以下信息之一:直连链路建立完成指示、建立的直连链路的直连标识、直连链路传输的业务特性、直连链路的信道接入方式等。
其中,直连链路传输的业务特性可以包括直连链路的速率、业务规范、要占用的资源等信息;直连链路的信道接入方式可以指示第一站点和第二站点占用资源的方式,比如可以是基于竞争的信道接入方式,或者是基于调度的信道接入方式,再如由主节点分配资源,又或者是二者的组合等。
这样,通过接收通知帧,主节点获知了与其关联的次节点间建立的直连链路的情况。
在示例性实施方式中,主节点在收到来自第一节点的通知帧后,可以进一步向第一节点发送通知确认帧,在通知确认帧中至少包括以下信息之一:给直连链路分配的直连标识、指定直连链路的信道接入方式和信道接入参数等。这样,实现了由主节点控制直连链路的站点之间的通信,更好地避免了基础构架的传输和直连链路的传输相互干扰。
需要说明的是,通知确认帧中的给直连链路分配的直连标识可以不同于通知帧中携带的建立的直连链路的直连标识,比如站点上报标识为A,AP可以指示为B。
其中,通知确认帧中的指定直连链路的信道接入方式可以为以下至少之 一:竞争方式、调度方式。比如:假设次节点指示给AP自身想要的接入方式为自由竞争信道,但是,AP可以指示次节点为调度接入方式,即AP给直连链路分配资源的方式而不允许站点自由竞争接入。由于主节点清楚整个网络的负载,因此,由主节点来决定最终的接入方式是合理的,比如:如果网络负载较重,可以限制次节点的竞争,如果网络负载较轻,可以让次节点自由竞争等。
在示例性实现方式中,直连链路建立之后,对等站点也可以根据网络状况(如负载情况等)更改直连链路对应的直连标识(如color值),更改的过程和建立过程类似,这里不再赘述。
图2所示的直连链路的建立中,通过协商的方式确定了直连链路的直连控制信息。另外,也可以采用下面的方式来确定直连链路的直连控制信息。
一种方式是,直连控制信息确定策略为:将预先设置好的直连链路所使用的直连控制信息确定为建立好的直连链路对应的直连控制信息。其中,预先设置好直连链路所使用的直连控制信息,这样,只要建立好第一节点与第二节点的直连链路,直接将预先设置的直连控制信息确定为建立好的直连链路的直连控制信息即可。也就是说,这种方式通过专门设置的直连链路的直连控制信息区分了不同的传输(即直连链路的传输和基础网络架构的传输)。
其中,第一节点与第二节点为对等站点,第一节点与第二节点可以属于同一个网络或BSS。
其中,直连控制信息包括以下至少之一:直连链路的直连标识、传输方向值。其中,直连标识为直连链路使用的网络标识,如color值。
其中,当对等站点为主节点时,直连链路的传输方向值可以指示为上行;当对等站点为次节点时,直连链路的传输方向值可以指示为下行。
另一种方式是,当对等站点为次节点时,直连控制信息确定策略为:建立好的直连链路对应的直连控制信息为由主节点确定的直连控制信息。在建立好第一节点与第二节点的直连链路后,可以采用以下方法确定直连链路的直连控制信息:
主节点广播直连标识:主节点通知一个或多个专门分配给直连链路的直 连标识,如网络标识color值,这样,主节点所属本BSS内的所有次节点若建立直连链路,直连标识就是主节点广播的一个或多个网络标识中的一个,这里,可以通过随机选择的方式选择出主节点广播的一个直连标识;或者,通过次节点探测信道的无线帧,将出现得少的那个直连标识选择为直连链路的标识,该直连标识即为没有冲突或冲突较少的直连标识;进一步地,根据网络状况如负载情况等,主节点也可以更新分配给直连链路的网络标识;或者,
主节点给当前建立的直连链路分配(相当于单播配置即为某个直连对单独配置一个直连标识)直连标识:主节点获知(如收到当前建立的直连链路的第一节点的通知)有直连链路建立完成,为当前建立的直连链路分配直连标识并通知给建立该直连链路的第一节点和第二节点;或者,
主节点根据基础网络架构的网络标识或主节点的设备标识确定直连标识,并通知给连接当前建立的直连链路的第一节点和第二节点。其中,根据基础网络架构的网络标识或主节点的设备标识确定直连标识包括:本BSS内建立的直连链路的直连标识等于基础网络架构的网络标识;或者,直连标识为基础网络架构的网络标识加上预先设置的特定值后得到的一个值;或者,直连标识为基础网络架构的网络标识经过运算后得到的一个值,其中,运算可以是如减法、异或、求模等常见的运算或这些运算的任意组合。需要说明的是,当建立直连链路的次节点没有从所在的网络或BSS的主节点获取到基础网络架构的网络标识(如主节点为传统站点,无此能力,即基础架构网络没有网络标识等)时,即未接收到来自所述第一节点和所述第二节点关联的所述主节点的通知时,直连标识可以为预先设置的保留的一个值。
需要说明的是,对于所有的网络标识都被其他直连链路或网络占用时,表明网络非常密集,此时,即选择哪个直连标识都不合适时,对等站点可以使用基础网络的标识。
在上述本发明实施例提供的确定直连链路的直连控制信息的方法中,除了采用预先设置好的直连链路所使用的直连控制信息的方式外,
一方面,在对等站点确定直连标识之前,本实施例的建立方法还可以包括:
对等站点(即第一节点或第二节点)或主节点通过对无线信道中传输的无线帧进行检查(即检查无线信道中传输的无线帧携带的控制信息或网络标识,如检查无线帧的物理层帧头中的第一信令域,以确定哪些网络标识正在被其他网络或链路使用),确定周围的其他网络或BSS已经使用的基础网络架构的网络标识,以及确定周围的其他直连链路已占用的网络标识;这样,在后续第一节点与第二节点之间协商直连控制信息,或主节点广播或分配直连控制信息时,可以选择与这些被占用的网络标识不同的值来作为当前建立的直连链路的直连标识。
另一方面,在直连链路建立之后,该建立方法还包括:对等站点也可以根据周围网络环境的变化更改直连链路使用的网络标识。其中,可以通过空口检测其他站点的无线帧,判断网络标识或直连标识冲突情况,如果冲突严重(如收到的直连标识与自身一样的无线帧)时,可以选择更改其他直连标识以避免冲突。其中,更改直连标识的过程和确定直连标识的过程类似,比如,假设第一节点判断出存在冲突的情况,第一节点发送携带有更改后的直连标识的切换直连标识请求帧给第二节点,第二节点发送切换响应帧给第一节点,第一节点最后发送确认帧即可完成直连标识的更改过程。
另外,当对等站点为次节点时,为了提高网络效率,减少直连链路竞争资源带来的干扰,进一步地,主节点还可以选择一些措施,以控制直连链路的站点的行为,比如:对等站点关联的主节点向对等站点发送通知信息,通知信息可以包括以下信息至少之一:
是否允许对等站点自由选择直连标识的指示,这样,限制了对等站点直连链路随意使用color值的情况,比如:如果不允许,那么,在建立直连链路时选择的color值只能为基础架构网络对应的color值或预先设置的保留值;如果允许,那么对等站点可以采用如图2所示的方法协商确定直连链路的color值;
是否要求对等站点通知主节点直连链路建立情况的指示,这样,如果要求,那么对等站点间建立好直连链路并确定直连控制信息后,需要将直连链路建立的相关信息(如直连链路建立完成指示、建立的直连链路的直连标识、直连链路传输的业务特性、直连链路的信道接入方式等)上报给主节点;
直连链路的资源使用限制信息,比如可以限制直连链路的传输资源必须在主节点指示的资源上,使用主节点指示的资源接入参数或信道接入方式获取传输机会等。
本发明实施例还提供一种直连链路实现数据传输的方法,包括:对等站点利用建立的直连链路传输无线帧,且在无线帧中携带直连控制信息。
需要说明的是,本发明实施例提供的直连链路实现数据传输的方法可以基于本发明实施例的直连链路建立方法,也可无需限定如何实现直连链路的建立,只要直连链路建立好并确定了建立好的直连链路的直连控制信息即可。
其中,直连控制信息包括以下至少之一:直连链路的直连标识、传输方向值。其中,直连标识可以为直连链路使用的网络标识,如color值。
其中,当对等站点为主节点时,直连链路的传输方向值可以指示为上行;当对等站点为次节点时,直连链路的传输方向值可以指示为下行。
其中,在无线帧中携带直连控制信息包括:
如果对等站点发送的是单用户格式无线帧,在无线帧帧头的第一信令域中指示直连控制信息;一些实现方式中,为了提高第一信令域的可靠性,可以设置两个或两个以上第一信令域即重复第一信令域;
如果对等站点发送的是多用户格式无线帧,在无线帧帧头的第一信令域中指示直连控制信息,在无线帧帧头的第二信令域中指示一个或多个接收无线帧的目标对等站点的标识;
如果对等站点发送触发帧给多个建立直连链路的其他对等站点以通知其发送数据给发起触发帧的对等站点时,接收到触发帧的多个其他对等站点中的至少一个会返回触发格式无线帧,在触发格式无线帧帧头的第一信令域中指示直连控制信息。
上述无线帧或触发格式无线帧为HE格式无线帧,还可以包含用于后向兼容以前的传统的WLAN设备的传统训练域和传统信令域,并且通过重复传统信令域以确定无线帧采用HE帧格式。
下面结合具体实施例对本发明实施例提供的技术方案进行详细描述。
图3为本发明实施例同一BBS下建立的链路示意图,如图3所示,粗实 线表示基础网络架构中的链路,细实线表示直连链路。如图3所示,与STA1~STA10关联的主节点即为AP。
第一实施例中,假设AP和多个站点(STA1~STA10)组成一个BSS,并假设AP发送广播帧,通知所有的STA基础网络架构的网络标识color的值为3,则在STA发送给AP的无线帧中,将无线帧物理层帧头信令域中的color域设置为3,将上向/下行标志(UL/DL flag)设置为上行,而AP发送给STA的无线帧中,将无线帧物理层帧头信令域中的color域设置为3,将UL/DL flag设置为下行。
第一实施例中,假设STA1~STA3支持直连技术如TDSL或DSL等,并假设STA1作为发起方,即第一节点分别和STA2、STA3进行了隧道直连链路建立,建立过程包括:
STA1通过AP的透传中转直连链路请求帧给STA2,STA2若同意建立TDLS则通过AP透明中转直连链路响应帧给STA1,最后STA1通过AP透明中转直连链路确认帧给STA2,这样,STA1与STA2间的直连链路即建立好;同样的过程,STA1和STA3也建立了直连链路,这里不再赘述,建立好的链路示意图如图3所示。其中,通过AP透明中转是指STA1~STA3利用基础网络架构,通过AP互相发送建立链路需要的帧,STA1~STA3将这些帧进行封装,在AP看来这些帧和普通的数据帧没有区别,AP会像中转普通的数据帧那样中转这些直连建立管理帧,也就是说,在站点建立直连链路的过程中,AP并不知晓,是透明的。
如图3所示,在这种场景下,存在三种传输,每个STA到AP的基础构架上行传输,AP到每个STA的基础构架下行传输,建立有直连链路的STA间的直连传输。
为了区分不同的传输,本实施例中将直连链路传输的无线帧的物理层帧头信令域中的color域设置为预先设置的特殊值0,即0代表直连标识,同时将上行/下行标志设置为下行。这样,当站点接收到无线帧并检测到物理层帧头后,就可以判断该无线帧的传输类型。比如:
图3中的STA1~STA3既是直连链路的对等站点,又是AP建立的基础网络架构的链路的STA。当STA1~STA3接收到color值为0、上行/下行标 志设置为下行的无线帧时,可以判定该无线帧在直连链路上传输,因此,自己可能是接收方,需要继续接收该无线帧;当STA1~STA3接收到color值为3、上行/下行标志设置为下行的无线帧时,可以判定该无线帧为自己关联的AP发送的下行帧,因此,自己也可能是接收方,需要继续接收该无线帧;当STA1~STA3接收到color值为3、上行/下行标志设置为上行的无线帧时,可以判定该无线帧是其他STA发送给AP的,因此,自己不可能是接收方,可以放弃接收该无线帧。
对于图3中的STA4~STA10,它们没有直连链路,但是是AP建立的基础网络架构的链路下的STA,当STA4~STA10接收到color值为0、上行/下行标志设置为下行的无线帧时,可以判定该无线帧在直连链路上传输,因此,自己不可能是接收方,可以放弃接收该无线帧;当STA4~STA10接收到color值为3、上行/下行标志设置为下行的无线帧时,可以判定该无线帧为自己关联的AP发送的下行帧,因此,自己可能是接收方,需要继续接收该无线帧;当STA4~STA10接收到color值为3、上行/下行标志设置为上行的无线帧时,可以判定该无线帧是其他STA发送给AP,因此,自己不可能是接收方,可以放弃接收该无线帧。
对于图3中的AP,只有接收到color值为3、上行/下行标志设置为上行的无线帧才判定是STA发送给自己的,此时AP继续接收,其他情况AP可以选择不接收。
图4为本发明实施例的不同BBS下建立的链路示意图,如图4所示,粗实线表示基础网络架构中的链路,细实线表示次节点间的直连链路,细虚线表示主节点间的直连链路。如图4所示,与STA1~STA5关联的主节点为AP1,与STA6~STA10关联的主节点为AP2。
第二实施例中,假设AP1和多个站点STA1~STA5组成BSS1,AP2和多个站点STA6~STA10组成BSS2;并假设BSS1的网络标识color的值为3,BSS2的网络标识color的值为5。
第二实施例中,假设STA1和STA2支持TDLS且在同一个BSS内,假设STA1和STA2建立了直连链路,STA1和STA2是对等的次节点;假设AP1和AP2也建立了直连链路,但是这属于主节点之间的直连链路,可以为 mesh形式的链路,也可以是类似AP簇的直连链路。
本实施例中的直连链路有两种类型,一种是主节点之间的,另一种是次节点之间的,为了区分这两种直连链路,本实施例中将次节点直连链路传输的无线帧的物理层帧头信令域中的color域设置为特殊值0,并统一将上行/下行标志设置为下行;将主节点直连链路传输的无线帧的物理层帧头信令域中的color域设置为特殊值0,并统一将上行/下行标志设置为上行。这样就可以通过上行/下行指示域区分不同的链路传输的无线帧。比如,对于每个STA,当接收到无线帧并检测到color值为0、指示为上行的无线帧时,可以选择不接收该无线帧。而不同BSS之间的传输可以通过color域的值来区分,比如:当STA1接收到无线帧并检测出color值为5时,可以判断出该无线帧与自己无关,从而可以选择不继续接收。
第三实施例,假设AP和多个站点STA1~STA10组成一个BSS,并假设AP发送广播帧,通知所有的STA网络的标识color的值为3。第一实施例中假设STA1~STA3支持直连技术如TDSL或DSL等,假设STA1作为发起方,即第一节点分别和STA2,STA3进行了隧道直连链路建立,第三实施例中,假设直连链路对应的color值是协商的,可以包括:
STA1通过AP的透传中转直连链路请求帧给STA2,在直连链路请求帧中携带有STA1可用的一个或多个color值,STA2若同意建立直连链路,则通过AP透明中转直连链路响应帧给STA1,在直连链路响应帧中携带有STA2可用的一个或多个color值,最后STA1通过AP透明中转直连链路确认帧给STA2,并在直连链路确认帧中携带有确定出的STA1和STA2的直连链路的color值,这样,STA1与STA2间的直连链路即建立好。采用同样的过程,STA1和STA3之间也可以协商使用的color值,该值可以和STA1与STA2之间链路的color值相同或不相同。建立的链路示意图可参见图3所示。
另外,直连链路建立后,对等站点也可以根据网络状况的变化情况(如负载情况等)更改直连链路对应的color值,以避免与其他直连链路的color值之间冲突的问题,更改的过程和建立过程类似,在本发明实施例上述建立过程的基础上,对于本领域技术人员来说是容易实现的,这里不再赘述。
进一步地,对等次节点(如本实施例中的STA1,STA2)完成直连链路 建立后可以发送一个通知帧给所关联的AP。比如:STA1发送一个通知帧给AP,由于TDLS建立的透明性,若直连站点不发送任何帧给AP的话,AP将不知道直连链路的信息,本实施例中的通知帧就是用于通知AP建立的直连链路的情况,在通知帧中可以包括直连链路建立完成指示、建立的直连链路使用的直连标识、直连链路传输的业务特性、直连链路的信道接入方式等信息。其中,直连链路传输的业务特性可以包括直连链路的速率、业务规范、要占用的资源等信息;直连链路的信道接入方式可以指示STA1和STA2占用资源的方式,比如可以是基于竞争的信道接入方式,或者是基于调度的信道接入方式,再如由AP分配资源,又或者是二者的组合。通过接收该通知帧,AP获知了直连链路的情况。
进一步地,AP接收到上述通知帧后,也可以回复一个通知确认帧给对等次节点,在通知确认帧中可以包括以下信息之一:给直连链路分配的直连标识、指定直连链路的信道接入方式和信道接入参数等。这样,实现了由主节点控制直连链路的站点之间的通信,更好地避免了基础构架的传输和直连链路的传输相互干扰。
第四实施例进一步说明除了第一实施例、第二实施例以及第三实施例中确定直连标识的方法外,次节点确定直连标识的方法还可以采用第四实施例的方式。在第四实施例中,假设AP和多个站点STA1~STA10组成一个BSS,假设AP发送广播帧,通知所有的STA基础网络架构的网络标识color的值为3。其中,假设STA1~STA3支持直连技术如TDSL或DSL等,并假设STA1作为发起方分别和STA2、STA3进行了隧道直连链路建立。本实施例中,STA1~STA3之间的直连链路对应的标识的确定方法可以为:
AP广播直连标识,即AP通知一个或多个专门分配给直连链路的直连标识如网络标识color值,这样,本BSS内的所有STA若建立直连链路,则直连标识必须为AP广播的一个或多个color值中的一个。进一步地,根据网络状况,AP也可以更新分配给直连链路的网络标识。
或者,AP给当前建立的直连链路分配直连标识,即AP将专门分配给直连链路的直连标识(如网络标识color值)通知给一对本BSS建立直连链路的站点,比如:AP将专门分配的color值0通知给STA1和STA2以作为二 者间建立的直连链路的直连标识。具体的过程可以为:直连链路的对等站点如STA1发送直连链路的通知信息给关联的AP,AP根据直连链路通知信息分配一个标识给该直连链路,其中,通知信息可以携带在发送给AP的通知帧中,可以包括以下任意组合的信息:直连链路建立完成指示、直连链路传输的业务特性、直连链路的信道接入方式等信息。
又或者,当AP获知基础网络架构的网络标识color值时,直连标识为基础网络架构的网络标识color值经过运算得出的特定值。比如:本BSS内建立的直连链路的标识等于基础网络架构的标识;再如:直连标识为基础网络架构的网络标识color值加上预先设置的特定值后得到的一个值;又如:直连标识为基础网络架构的网络标识color值经过其他的运算方式或运算方式组合后的值,其中,运算可以是如减法、异或、求模等常见的运算或这些运算的任意组合。需要说明的是,当直连链路所关联的AP没有获知基础网络架构的网络标识color值,那么,直连标识可以就是预先设置的保留的网络标识color特殊值。
第五实施例,基于本发明实施例的不采用固定的直连标识的情况如协商的方式等,在对等站点确定直连标识之前,本实施例的建立方法还可以包括:
通过对无线信道中传输的无线帧进行检查,确定周围的其他网络或BSS已经使用的基础网络架构的网络标识color值,以及确定周围的其他直连链路已占用的网络标识color值,从而尽量选择与这些被占用的网络标识不同的值来作为要建立的直连链路的直连标识。
直连链路建立之后,对等站点也可以根据周围网络环境的变化更改直连链路使用的网络标识color值。其中,可以通过空口检测其他站点的无线帧,判断网络标识或直连标识冲突情况,如果冲突严重(如收到的直连标识与自身一样的无线帧)时,可以选择更改其他标识以避免冲突。
另外,对等站点为次节点时,为了提高网络效率,减少直连链路竞争资源带来的干扰,AP可以选择一些措施来控制直连链路站点的行为。
比如,AP可以限制STA直连链路随意使用color值,其中,AP可以发送一个通知帧如信标帧(Beacon)给该STA,并在该通知帧中指示是否允许直连站点之间自由选择使用的color值,如果AP在通知帧中指示不允许,那 么,STA在建立直连链路时选择的color值只能为基础网络架构对应的color值,或特殊的保留值如0值等;如果AP在通知帧中指示允许,那么,STA可以使用如自身协商过程确定的color值。
再如:AP也可以在Beacon帧中指示本网络内的次节点不能建立直连链路。又或者AP允许本网络内的次节点之间建立直连链路,但是在Beacon帧中指示直连链路建立完成后对等站点必须通知AP直连链路的业务特性等直连链路的建立情况。另外,AP还可以直接通知直连链路的资源使用限制信息,比如可以限制直连链路的传输资源必须在AP指示的资源上进行、使用AP指示的资源接入参数或信道接入方式获取传输机会等。
第六实施例,对等站点的直连链路建立完成且确定了直连控制信息之后,本实施例提供的直连链路实现数据传输的方法包括:对等站点利用建立的直连链路传输无线帧,且在无线帧中携带直连控制信息。其中,无线帧可以是HE无线帧。
如果对等站点发送的是单用户格式无线帧,如图5所示,图5为本发明实施例的单用户格式无线帧下HE无线帧格式实施例的示意图,在无线帧帧头的第一信令域(即信令域A)中指示直连控制信息。一些实现方式中,为了提高第一信令域(即信令域A)的可靠性,可以将设置两个或两个以上第一信令域(即信令域A),也就是说重复第一信令域(即信令域A)。
如果对等站点发送的是多用户格式无线帧,如图6所示,图6为本发明实施例的多用户格式无线帧下HE无线帧格式实施例的示意图,在无线帧帧头的第一信令域(即信令域A)中指示直连控制信息,在无线帧帧头的第二信令域(即信令域B)中指示一个或多个接收无线帧的目标对等站点的标识。
如果对等站点发送触发帧给多个建立直连链路的其他对等站点以通知其发送数据给发起触发帧的对等站点时,接收到触发帧的多个其他对等站点中的至少一个会返回触发格式无线帧,如图7所示,图7为本发明实施例的触发格式无线帧下HE无线帧格式实施例的示意图,与单用户格式无线帧类似,在触发格式无线帧帧头的第一信令域(即信令域A)中指示直连控制信息。
上述HE格式无线帧,如图5至图7所示,还包含用于后向兼容以前的传统的WLAN设备的传统训练域和传统信令域,并且通过重复传统信令域以 确定无线帧采用HE帧格式。
举个例子来看,假设AP和多个站点STA1~STA10组成一个BSS,并假设STA1和STA2,STA1和STA3分别建立了直连链路,而且基础网络架构的color的值为3,为了区分不同的传输,本实施例中假设直连链路的color值为0。在直连链路建立好且确定了直连标识后,
比如:假设STA1分别发送无线帧给STA2或STA3,其格式为单用户无线帧格式,结合图5所示,将无线帧中的物理层帧头信令域中的color值设为0,可以将物理层帧头第一信令域(即信令域A)中的color域设为0,将信令域A中的UL/DL域(图5中未示出)设置为下行。同样的,STA2或STA3发送给STA1的无线帧也是如此设置。
再如:假设STA1并行发送无线帧给STA2和STA3,其格式为多用户无线帧格式,结合图6所示,将无线帧中的物理层帧头信令域中的color值设为0,可以将物理层帧头第一信令域(即信令域A)中的color域设为0,将信令域A中的UL/DL域(图6中未示出)设置为下行,且在第二信令域(即信令域B)中携带STA2和STA3的标识,以及发送给STA2和STA3数据的发送参数和资源位置。对等站点也可以使用多用户无线帧格式发送一个用户的数据,如STA2使用多用户无线帧格式发送数据给STA1,这样无线帧就可以携带信令域B,信令域B中指示接收方为STA1,这样除STA1之外的站点就可以选择不接收该无线帧。
又如:假设STA1发送触发帧给STA2和STA3,通知STA2和STA3并行发送数据给STA1,接收到触发帧后,STA2和STA3并行发送无线帧给STA1,该无线帧格式为触发格式无线帧,结合图7所示,将无线帧中的物理层帧头信令域中的color值为0,可以将物理层帧头第一信令域(即信令域A)中的color值为0。
