Description

传输业务数据的方法、接入点和站点
本申请要求于2016年8月29日提交中国专利局、申请号为201610751572.2、申请名称为“传输业务数据的方法、接入点和站点”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
本申请涉及无线通信领域,并且更具体地,涉及传输业务数据的方法、接入点和站点。
背景技术
随着物联网的飞速发展,智能家居和智慧城市的概念及其应用已经逐渐走入人们的生活中。在物联网的应用中,例如防盗监测、火灾、煤气等的安全监测、身体健康状况的监测等应用场景纷纷被人们提出。例如,图1为可应用本申请实施例的通信系统的场景的示意图,图1中包括接入点(Access Point,AP)和三个站点(Station,STA)(例如,STA1,STA2,STA3)。当出现紧急情况时,负责监测的STA需要尽快将紧急报告发送给AP,实现紧急报告的上行传输,或者,AP需要尽快将紧急报告发送给STA,实现紧急报告的下行传输。在无线局域网中(Wireless Local Area Network,WLAN)中,紧急报告对延迟非常敏感,因此需要设计相应的机制,保证紧急报告能够尽快地在STA和AP之间传输。
现有的设计方案,当STA有紧急业务数据需要传输时,STA发送带有紧急信息元素(Information Element,IE)的请求发送(Request to Send,RTS)帧,当AP收到带有紧急IE的RTS时,得知STA有紧急业务数据需要传输,并向AP回复允许发送(Clear to Send,CTS)帧。在完成RTS/CTS交互之后,所有需要参与紧急报告传输的STA利用较短的回退窗口和回退值进行信道竞争,而参与非紧急报告传输的STA利用较长的回退窗口和回退值进行信道竞争。这样,利用较短的回退窗口和回退值保证了紧急业务数据的优先传输。但是,该过程是建立在STA竞争到信道的前提上,需要承担一些延迟,此外,在已经竞争到信道的情况下,需要多个STA重新竞争,增大了STA竞争信道的延迟。
发明内容
本申请实施例提供一种传输业务数据的方法、接入点和站点,能够提高业务数据的传输效率。
第一方面,提供了一种传输业务数据的方法,包括:第一站点STA接收控制帧,所述控制帧包括控制信息,所述控制信息用于指示所述第一STA竞争用于传输第一类业务数据的资源;所述第一STA根据所述控制信息竞争资源;所述第一STA在竞争到的资源上向接入点AP发送与所述第一STA相应的第一类业务数据。
本申请实施例通过AP触发STA进行第一类业务数据的传输流程,并使STA在竞争到的资源上向AP发送第一类业务数据,这样可以减小竞争延迟,能够提高传输效率。
在本申请的一个实施例中,资源可以是信道、资源单元(Resource Unit)、等,可以是时间维度、频域维度、空间维度或其相结合的资源,竞争资源可以为竞争信道等。
结合第一方面,在第一方面的一种实现方式中,所述控制信息为第一关联标识(Association Identifier,AID),其中,所述第一STA接收控制帧包括:所述第一STA接收触发帧,所述触发帧携带所述第一AID。
在本申请的一个实施例中,控制帧可以为触发帧(Trigger Frame,TF)。特别地,控制帧可以为随机竞争的触发帧又被叫做(Trigger Frame For Random Access,TF-R),TF-R用于触发STA进行随机竞争。控制信息可以为触发帧携带的非零的AID。
结合第一方面及其上述实现方式,在第一方面的另一种实现方式中,所述第一AID用于指示所述第一STA基于正交频分多址接入(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access,OFDMA)随机竞争资源,所述第一STA根据所述控制信息竞争资源包括:所述第一STA基于OFDMA随机竞争资源。
在本申请的一个实施例中,STA可以采用带有冲突避免的载波侦听多址接入(Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance,CSMA/CA)进行随机竞争资源,也可以是通过接收触发帧,采用基于OFDMA的随机竞争。基于OFDMA的随机竞争可以允许多个STA在不同的资源单元上同时向AP发送数据,这样,可以提高传输效率。
结合第一方面及其上述实现方式,在第一方面的另一种实现方式中,所述第一STA的竞争回退窗口小于第二STA的竞争回退窗口,和/或,所述第一STA的回退值小于所述第二STA的回退值,其中,所述第二STA不用于传输第一类业务数据。
用于传输第一类业务数据的STA(如第一STA)的竞争回退窗口小于不用于传输第一类业务数据的STA(如第二STA)的竞争回退窗口,和/或,用于传输第一类业务数据的STA(如第一STA)的回退值小于不用于传输第一类业务数据的STA(如第二STA)的回退值,这样有助于第一STA更快的竞争到传输第一类业务数据的资源。
结合第一方面及其上述实现方式,在第一方面的另一种实现方式中,所述第一STA接收控制帧,包括:所述第一STA接收所述AP配置的接入帧,其中,所述接入帧包括所述第二AID和/或限制接入窗口(Restricted access window,RAW)控制字段,所述第二AID用于指示所述第一STA竞争用于传输第一类业务数据的资源,所述RAW控制字段用于指示接入窗口的业务数据类型为第一类业务数据。
在本申请的一个实施例中,接入帧可以为带有紧急接入窗口信息元素的帧。
结合第一方面及其上述实现方式,在第一方面的另一种实现方式中,在所述第一STA接收控制帧之前,所述方法还包括:所述第一STA接收多用户请求发送多用户请求发送(Multiple User Request to Send,MU-RTS)帧,所述MU-RTS帧携带第三AID,所述第三AID用于指示后续所述AP会调度所述第一STA传输第一类业务数据;所述第一STA向所述AP发送允许发送CTS帧。
在本申请的一个实施例中,MU-RTS帧可以用于AP请求向STA发送控制帧,以触发STA启动传输第一类业务数据的流程,还可以使得其它站点不再竞争资源,为AP请求的站点传输第一类业务数据提前预留传输机会(Transmission Opportunity,TXOP),这样能够提高传输效率。
在本申请的一个实施例中,第一STA和其它需要传输第一类业务数据的STA都可以 接收AP发送的MU-RTS帧,且受到MU-RTS帧并且有第一类业务数据需要传输的STA可以向AP发送同步CTS帧,即多个STA同时向AP发送CTS帧,且各个STA发送的CTS帧的物理层结构相同。
结合第一方面及其上述实现方式,在第一方面的另一种实现方式中,在所述第一STA接收控制帧之前,所述方法还包括:所述第一STA接收业务指示映射TIM,所述TIM用于指示当前信标(Beacon)帧周期内所述AP会触发所述第一STA传输第一类业务数据。
在本申请的一个实施例中,TIM可以用于AP提前通知STA准备传输第一类业务数据。具体地,TIM可以提前通知准备传输第一类业务数据的STA不再休眠,或处于唤醒状态。
结合第一方面及其上述实现方式,在第一方面的另一种实现方式中,所述方法还包括:所述第一STA接收第三STA发送的需求信息,所述需求信息包括第四AID,所述第四AID用于指示所述第三STA传输第一类业务数据的需求或者指示所述第三STA需要传输的与所述第三STA相应的第一类业务的数据大小;所述第一STA在竞争到的资源上向AP发送所述第三STA传输第一类业务数据的需求或发送与所述第三STA相应的第一类业务的数据大小。
在本申请的一个实施例中,由于信道状态或距离限制,有些STA(如第三STA)有传输第一类业务数据的需求,但却无法向AP传输相应的第一类业务数据时,可以通过周围的其它STA帮助转发传输需求或缓存信息,如缓存数据的大小等。
结合第一方面及其上述实现方式,在第一方面的另一种实现方式中,所述第四AID承载在所述需求信息相应帧的高效聚合控制字段。
结合第一方面及其上述实现方式,在第一方面的另一种实现方式中,所述第一STA接收控制帧包括:所述第一STA通过中继接收所述AP发送的控制帧;所述第一STA在竞争到的资源上向所述AP发送与所述第一STA相应的第一类业务数据包括:所述第一STA在竞争到的资源上通过中继向AP发送与所述第一STA相应的第一类业务数据。
在本申请的一个实施例中,对于部分STA和AP之间的长距离的传输需求,可能需要借助中继进行业务数据的转发。中继可以从AP接收控制帧并向与之关联的STA发送控制帧,需要传输第一类业务数据的STA收到中继发送的控制帧,可以根据控制帧进行信道竞争,并在竞争到的信道上向中继传输第一类业务数据(例如,紧急报告)。中继收到STA发送的第一类业务数据后,可以将第一类业务数据转发给AP。本申请实施例中的控制帧用于指示竞争传输第一类业务数据的资源。
但是,上述利用中继操作的方式可能会增加延迟。为了减小延迟,AP可以在向中继传输控制帧时,同时向其它STA(例如STA1)发送控制帧。AP向STA1和中继发送控制帧时,可以对整个传输带宽进行资源分配,例如,将部分资源(例如信道1)分配给中继帮助STA2进行数据转发,并收集与STA2相关联的第一类业务数据(例如紧急报告),将部分资源(例如信道2)分配给STA1进行STA1的第一类业务数据(例如紧急报告)的传输,并约定并行处理的结束时间。这样,在并行处理的结束时间之后,中继可以将收集到的STA1的紧急报告通过信道1转发给AP,通过信道2将STA1的紧急报告通过信道2转发给AP。或者,中继和STA2可以基于OFDMA,同时利用信道2进行紧急报告的传输。这样,可以提高紧急报告的传输效率。
结合第一方面及其上述实现方式,在第一方面的另一种实现方式中,所述第一类业务数据为紧急报告。
本申请实施例中的第一类业务数据可以为一种或一类业务数据,例如紧急报告、语音业务数据、视频业务数据等。

具体实施方式
下面将结合附图,对本申请中的技术方案进行描述。
应理解,本申请实施例的技术方案可以应用于各种通信系统,例如:全球移动通讯(Global System of Mobile communication,GSM)系统、码分多址(Code Division Multiple Access,CDMA)系统、宽带码分多址(Wideband Code Division Multiple Access,WCDMA)系统、通用分组无线业务(General Packet Radio Service,GPRS)、长期演进(Long Term  Evolution,LTE)系统、LTE频分双工(Frequency Division Duplex,FDD)系统、LTE时分双工(Time Division Duplex,TDD)、通用移动通信系统(Universal Mobile Telecommunication System,UMTS)或全球互联微波接入(Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access,WiMAX)通信系统等。
还应理解,在本申请实施例中,站点可以是支持WLAN通信协议的各种站点(Station,STA)、终端(Terminal)、移动台(Mobile Station,MS)、移动终端(Mobile Terminal)等,该站点可以经无线接入网(Radio Access Network,RAN)与一个或多个核心网进行通信,例如,站点可以是移动电话(或称为“蜂窝”电话)、具有移动终端的计算机等,例如,站点还可以是便携式、袖珍式、手持式、计算机内置的或者车载的移动装置,它们与无线接入网交换语音和/或数据。
还应理解,在本申请实施例中,AP可以为站点提供接入服务,AP可以是WLAN中的接入点,也可以是GSM或CDMA中的基站(Base Transceiver Station,BTS),还可以是WCDMA中的基站(NodeB),还可以是LTE中的演进型基站(evolved Node B,eNB或“e-NodeB”)。本申请对此并不作限定。
在本申请的实施例中,仅以无线局域网(Wireless Local Area Networks,WLAN)系统为例进行说明,但本申请并不限于此,根据本申请实施例的方法和装置还可以应用于其它通信系统;类似地,本申请实施例也仅以WLAN系统中的AP和STA为例进行说明,但本申请并不限于此,根据本申请实施例的方法和装置还可以应用于其它通信系统中的基站和用户设备。
图2是本申请一个实施例的传输业务数据的方法的示意性流程图。本申请实施例中以传输的第一类业务数据是紧急报告为例进行说明。
101,AP向第一STA发送控制帧,第一STA接收AP发送的控制帧。
AP向第一STA发送控制帧,控制帧包括控制信息,控制信息可以用于指示第一STA竞争用于传输第一类业务数据的资源。这里的第一类业务数据可以是紧急报告、视频业务数据、音频业务数据等。
在本申请的一个实施例中,控制帧可以为触发帧TF-R,控制信息为第一AID(如图3中的301),控制帧携带第一AID。触发帧的帧结构示意图如图4所示。
本申请实施例中的第一AID,第二AID,第三AID和第四AID都可以用AID X来表示,X为对应AID的各个比特位构成的数,第一AID,第二AID,第三AID和第四AID中的任意两个X可以取相同的值,也可以取不同的值,本申请实施例对比不做限制。
在本申请的一个实施例中,AID X用于指示竞争传输第一类业务数据的资源,其中X为AID的各个比特位构成的数。特别地,还可以用AID X指示STA基于OFDMA随机竞争资源。
目前802.11标准中,AID 1~2007可以被支配,AID 2008~2047为预留AID。在本申请的一个实施例中,可以在标准中规定一个预留AID指示用于传输第一类业务数据的STA进行OFDMA随机竞争。
在本申请的一个实施例中,标准可以在AID 1~2007中选定一个AID用于指示STA基于OFDMA随机竞争的方式传输第一类业务数据。比如在美国采用AID 911,在中国采用AID 110等。在此种情况下,可以规定AP不允许将该AID分配给某一个特定的STA。
在本申请的一个实施例中,AP可以在AID 1~2007中选定一个AID用于指示STA基于OFDMA随机竞争的方式传输第一类业务数据,并在信标(Beacon)帧中利用信息元素(Information Element,IE)进行广播。在此种情况下,可以规定AP不允许将其广播的AID X分配给某一个特定的STA。
在本申请的一个实施例中,触发帧还可以包括STA的资源调度信息,AP可以通过资源调度信息进行资源调度。
在本申请的另一个实施例中,控制帧可以为带有紧急限制接入窗口(Restricted access window,RAW)IE的帧,如图6中的步骤603。带有紧急RAW IE的帧的结构示意图如图7所示,带有紧急RAW IE的帧可以包括第二AID和RAW控制字段中的至少一个。第二AID用于指示第一STA竞争用于传输第一类业务数据的资源,RAW控制字段用于指示接入窗口的业务数据类型为第一类业务数据。
AP向第一STA发送控制帧可以广播、多播的形式发送,也可以是以单播的形式发送。
102,第一STA根据接收的控制帧竞争资源。
第一STA接收控制帧,可以根据接收的控制帧竞争资源,如图3中的302。具体地,STA可以竞争用于传输第一类业务数据的信道等。
AP和STA可以约定AID与竞争方式的对应关系。例如,约定AID 811用于指示有第一类业务数据传输需求的STA通过随机竞争的方式竞争资源并传输第一类业务数据,STA收到控制帧,当控制帧中携带AID 811时,STA可以采取随机竞争的方式与其它需要传输第一类业务数据的STA竞争资源。
再如,可以约定AID 711用于指示有第一类业务数据传输需求的STA和其它STA基于OFDMA竞争的方式竞争资源,并传输第一类业务数据,STA收到控制帧,检测到控制帧中携带AID 711时,可以采用基于OFDMA随机竞争的方式竞争传输资源。
在本申请的一个实施例中,第一STA的竞争回退窗口小于第二STA的竞争回退窗口,和/或,第一STA的回退值小于第二STA的回退值,其中,第二STA不用于传输第一类业务数据,第一STA用于传输第一类业务数据。换句话说,可以减小传输第一类业务数据的STA的回退值和回退窗口,也可以保持第一类业务数据的STA的回退值和回退窗口不变,而增加传输非第一类业务数据的普通STA的回退值和回退窗口,这样可以加速第一类业务数据的竞争。
在基于OFDMA的随机竞争中,STA首先在初始的回退窗口中随机选择一个回退值,同时STA读取触发帧中指示的用于进行随机竞争的资源单元的数目,当回退值大于资源单元的数目时,则本次无法进行传输,并将回退值减去资源单元的数目,作为下一次OFDMA竞争的回退值;若回退值小于资源单元的数目时,则在用于进行随机竞争的资源单元中随机选取一个资源单元,进行数据通信。若获得了传输机会,但是传输失败,则需要扩大竞争回退窗口,重新随机一个回退值,继续进行竞争。这样,上述限定第一STA的竞争回退窗口小于第二STA的竞争回退窗口,和/或,第一STA的回退值小于第二STA的回退值可以有助于第一STA更快的竞争到用于传输第一类业务数据的资源。
103,第一STA向AP发送与第一STA相对应的第一类业务数据,AP接收第一STA发送的与该第一STA相对应的第一类业务数据。
第一STA在竞争到资源时,可以通过竞争到的资源向AP发送与第一STA相对应的 第一类业务数据。如图4以第一类业务数据是紧急报告为例说明,在AP收到STA发送的紧急报告时,还可以向STA发送多用户块确认(Multiple User Block Acknowledgement,M-BA)帧,也可以采用其他的确认方式,比如按顺序向每个STA发送确认(Acknowledge,ACK)帧,块确认(Block Acknowledgement,BA)帧,或者采用OFDMA的方式向多个STA同时发送ACK/BA帧。
步骤101至步骤103中使用触发帧触发传输紧急报告的流程可以参照图3所示的示意图。触发帧的帧结构可以参照图4所示的结构示意图。
有的业务数据对延迟的灵敏度要求较高,例如,紧急报告,对于一些长距离的传输,可以借助中继进行业务数据的转发。例如,在本申请的一个实施例中,上述步骤101可以是AP通过控制帧向第一STA发送控制帧,第一STA通过控制帧接收AP发送的控制帧,步骤103可以是第一STA通过中继向AP发送与第一STA相对应的第一类业务数据,AP通过中继接收第一STA发送的与该第一STA相对应的第一类业务数据。为了减小中继带来的延迟,还可以在AP可以在向中继传输控制帧时,同时向其它STA(例如STA1)发送控制帧。AP向STA1和中继发送控制帧时,可以对整个传输带宽进行资源分配,并对分配的不同资源约定并行处理的结束时间,这样,可以提高紧急报告的传输效率,如图9所示。
104,AP向第一STA发送MU-RTS帧,第一STA接收AP发送的MU-RTS帧。
在本申请的一个实施例中,所有的STA都可以设置为网络分配向量(Network Allocation Vector,NAV),NAV也可以成为虚拟载波侦听。带有碰撞避免的载波侦听多址接入(Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance,CSMA/CA)的基础在于载波侦听(Carrier Sensing,CS)。分布式协调功能(Distributed Coordination Function,DCF)同时通过物理载波侦听和虚拟载波侦听来判断媒体状态。只有物理载波侦听和虚拟载波侦听机制都认为信道为空闲,才认为信道是空闲的,否则认为信道是繁忙的。虚拟载波侦听可以声明对媒体的独占接入。被设置了NAV的STA进行虚拟载波侦听的结果始终为忙,即被设置了NAV的STA不会再主动竞争信道,AP可以在一定范围内设置NAV,建立传输机会(TXOP),在TXOP时限内,部分STA可以独占媒介资源,可以发送单个或多个数据帧、管理帧和控制帧,这样在设定的时长内,AP和被静默的STA之间不能主动进行数据传输,AP可以通过调度一个STA进行上行数据的传输,也可以调度多个STA进行上行多用户的数据传输。
例如,在步骤101第一STA接收控制帧之前,第一STA还可以接收AP发送的MU-RTS帧,如图5和图6所示,以调度上行数据的传输。MU-RTS帧携带第三AID,第三AID用于指示后续AP会调度所述第一STA传输第一类业务数据。这样,STA收到MU-RTS帧之后,就知道接下来有第一类业务数据要传输,这样可以触发STA启动传输第一类业务数据的流程,还可以使得其它站点不再竞争资源,为AP请求的站点传输第一类业务数据提前预留传输机会,这样能够提高传输效率。
再如,在步骤101第一STA接收控制帧之前,AP还可以通过步骤106所示的方式通知STA进入传输第一类业务数据的准备工作,以调度上行数据的传输。
以第一类业务数据是紧急报告为例,MU-RTS帧携带第三AID,分两种情况:第一种情况,MU-RTS帧携带的AID只包括第三AID,不包含其他AID,即MU-RTS帧中只包 括比特位构成的数值为指定一个值的AID。第二种情况,MU-RTS帧同时包括第三AID和其他AID,这里其他AID的各个比特位构成的数值与第三AID的各个比特位构成的数值不同。
对于上述任一种情况,当MU-RTS中携带有第三AID时,所有STA都会得知后续的TXOP会调度紧急业务。对于这种TXOP,可以定义特殊的规则,例如,可以定义不允许其他基本服务集合(Basic Service Set,BSS)的AP和STA进行空间复用。空间复用虽然会增加整个系统的传输效率,但是也会影响当前基本服务集合紧急报告的传输。通过定义不允许其他BSS的AP和STA进行空间复用,可以保证当前基本服务集合紧急报告的传输。再如,还可以定义后续TXOP中会存在需要传输紧急报告STA才可以竞争的区间。又如,可以定义后续TXOP中进行OFDMA竞争时,减小需要传输紧急报告STA的回退窗口和回退值,而增大没有紧急报告的普通STA的回退窗口,这样,可以提高传输效率。
105,第一STA向AP反馈CTS帧,AP接收第一STA反馈的CTS帧。
STA收到MU-RTS帧之后,如果有第一类业务数据需要传输,可以向AP反馈CTS帧,如图5和图6所示。在本申请的一个实施例中,第一STA(如图5和图6中的STA1)和其它需要传输第一类业务数据的STA(如图5和图6中的STA2和STA3)都可以接收AP发送的MU-RTS帧,且收到MU-RTS帧并且有第一类业务数据需要传输的STA可以向AP发送同步CTS帧,即多个STA同时向AP发送CTS帧,且各个STA发送的CTS帧的物理层结构相同。
针对步骤104中MU-RTS帧携带第三AID的两种情况:
第一种情况,MU-RTS帧携带的AID只包括第三AID,不包含其他AID,即MU-RTS帧中只包括比特位构成的数值为指定一个值的AID。当AP发送带有第三AID的MU-RTS帧时,只有需要紧急报告的STA才会向AP反馈CTS帧。当AP收到CTS帧时,会得知STA有传输紧急报告的需求。
第二种情况,MU-RTS帧同时包括第三AID和其他AID,这里其他AID的各个比特位构成的数值与第三AID的各个比特位构成的数值不同。当AP发送带有第三AID和其他AID的MU-RTS帧时,带有紧急报告传输需求的STA和被指定的STA都会回复CTS帧。AP收到CTS帧,但AP并不知道是否是有紧急报告传输需求的STA发送的CTS。这种方法的好处是AP可以保护一个同时允许紧急报告和普通数据传输的TXOP。
在本申请的一个实施例中,第一STA和其它需要传输第一类业务数据的STA(如图5和图6中的STA2和STA3)都可以接收AP发送的MU-RTS帧,且受到MU-RTS帧并且有第一类业务数据需要传输的STA可以向AP发送同步CTS帧,即多个STA同时向AP发送CTS帧,且各个STA发送的CTS帧的物理层结构相同。
106,AP向第一STA发送TIM,第一STA接收AP发送的TIM。
在步骤101第一STA接收控制帧之前,AP还可以通过下列方式通知STA进入传输第一类业务数据的准备工作。例如,AP可以向第一STA发送Beacon帧,该Beacon帧包括TIM,TIM用于指示当前Beacon帧周期内AP会触发第一STA传输第一类业务数据。TIM可以用于AP提前通知STA准备传输第一类业务数据。具体地,TIM可以提前通知准备传输第一类业务数据的STA不再休眠,或处于唤醒状态。这样可以降低传输第一类业务数据的传输时延,能够提高传输效率。
由于信道状态或距离限制,有些STA(如第三STA)有传输第一类业务数据的需求,但却无法向AP传输相应的第一类业务数据时,这时可以通过周边的其它STA(例如第一STA)帮助转发传输需求或缓存信息,如缓存数据的大小等。例如,第三STA可以向第一STA发送需求信息,第一STA可以接收第三STA发送的需求信息,其中,需求信息包括第四AID,第四AID用于指示第三STA的传输第一类业务数据的传输需求,或者,第四AID用于指示第三STA需要传输的与第三STA相应的第一类业务数据的大小。这样,第一STA在竞争到的传输与第一STA相应的第一类业务数据时,第一STA还可以通过竞争到的资源向AP传输第三STA的传输第一类业务数据的传输需求或向AP传输与第三STS相应的第一类业务数据的大小。换句话说,第一STA可以帮助周边无法传输相应第一类业务数据的STA(如第三STA)向AP发送需求信息,这样AP在得知第三STA有传输第一类业务数据的需求时,可以通过向第三STA发送触发帧,触发STA上报第一类业务数据的传输流程,也可以使得第三STA通过中继等方式向AP上报第一类业务数据。
上述第三STA向第一STA发送的需求信息可以是通过广播或单播的形式发送,本申请实施例对此不做限制。
在本申请的一个实施例中,可以利用媒体接入控制(Media Access Control,MAC)帧中帧头的高吞吐率控制字段(High Throughput Control)中的高效聚合控制(High Efficient Aggregated Control,HE-A-Control)字段承载需求信息中的第四AID,如图10所示。
本申请实施例中的第一STA可以是与AP之间有第一类业务数据传输需求的任一个STA。
应理解,在本申请的各种实施例中,上述各过程的序号的大小并不意味着执行顺序的先后,各过程的执行顺序应以其功能和内在逻辑确定,而不应对本申请实施例的实施过程构成任何限定。例如,步骤104和步骤105可以在步骤101之前执行,如图5所示。步骤106可以在步骤101之前执行,如图8所示。
在本申请的一个实施例中,步骤104,105,106为可选步骤。并且,步骤104,105与步骤106都可以有提前通知STA的作用,所以,步骤104,105与步骤可以为并列可选的。在本申请的一个实施例中,可选择利用步骤104,105提前通知STA,也可以选用106提前通知STA,还可以不提前通知STA,执行步骤101至步骤103。
图3是本申请一个实施例中利用触发帧TF-R携带的AID(如第一AID)触发紧急报告传输的示意图。图3以画出的一个AP和三个STA:STA1、STA2、STA3为例进行示例性说明。
301,AP向多个STA发送TF-R帧,TF-R帧包括第一AID字段和资源单元指示字段。资源单元指示字段用于指示传输紧急报告的资源。第一AID用于指示对应资源单元指示字段指示的资源是用于多个STA基于OFDMA竞争传输紧急报告的资源。TF-R帧的帧结构示意图如图4所示。
302,多个STA基于OFDMA竞争用于传输紧急报告的资源。
在图3中,假设STA1、STA2有紧急报告需要传输,而STA3仅有一般数据需要传输。三个STA收到AP发送的触发帧时,只有STA1和STA2竞争用于传输紧急报告的资源。STA3仅会竞争用于传输一般数据的资源。优选地,STA1和STA2可以同时竞争用于传输紧急报告的资源和用于传输一般数据的资源,这样可以实现更快的竞争到资源。
STA在收到TF-R帧之后,根据TF-R帧中可以用于随机竞争的资源单元的数目,以及自己本身的回退值,若回退值大于资源单元数目,本次无法传输,即进入如STA2的竞争信道回退,用本次的回退值减去资源单元数目为下次OFDMA竞争的回退值;若回退值小于或者等于资源单元数目,则在可以用于随机竞争的资源单元中随机选取一个资源单元,用于紧急报告的传输,如STA1。
303,当STA1竞争到资源时,通过竞争到的资源向AP传输紧急报告。
有紧急报告传输需求的STA(如STA2)的随机回退时间和随机回退值小于没有紧急报告的STA(如STA3)的随机回退时间和随机回退值。
当设STA1、STA2都竞争到信道时,STA1和STA2可以采用频分复用的方式同时向AP传输各自对应的紧急报告;而STA3竞争到信道时,可以利用竞争到的信道传输一般数据,如图3中的步骤307所示。
304,AP收到STA1发送的紧急报告时,向STA1传输M-BA,表示确认已收到STA1的紧急报告。
后续的步骤305至步骤308和步骤301至步骤304一一对应相同或相似,为避免重复,在此不再详细赘述。
图4是本申请一个实施例的包括AID(如第一AID)的触发帧的帧结构示意图。图4的触发帧包括MAC帧头、公共区域和逐个站点域。其中,MAC帧头包括帧控制字段,公共区域包括触发帧类型,逐个站点区域可以包括逐个站点字段1、…、逐个站点字段N…,且,逐个站点字段N(例如逐个站点字段1)可以包括第一AID字段、OFDMA竞争回退参数字段和资源单元指示字段。资源单元指示字段用于指示传输紧急报告的资源
图5是本申请一个实施例的利用MU-RTS帧携带的AID(如第三AID)建立紧急报告的传输机会。图5以画出的一个AP和三个STA:STA1、STA2、STA3为例进行示例性说明。
501,AP向多个STA发送MU-RTS帧,MU-RTS帧包括第三AID,多个STA接收MU-RTS帧。
502,需要传输紧急报告的STA收到MU-RTS后,向AP反馈同步CTS帧。同步CTS即需要上报CTS的多个STA同时向AP发送CTS,且各个CTS的物理层结构相同。
503,AP向多个STA发送TF-R帧,且TF-R帧包括第一AID,第一AID用于指示多个STA基于OFDMA竞争用于传输紧急报告的资源。
504,多个STA基于OFDMA竞争用于传输紧急报告的资源。
505,当STA1、STA2、STA3都有紧急报告需要传输,且都竞争到用于传输紧急报告的资源时,STA1、STA2、STA3向AP发送各自对应的紧急报告。
506,AP收到STA1、STA2、STA3发送的紧急报告时,向STA反馈M-BA帧,表示确认已收到相应的紧急报告。
图6是本申请另一实施例的利用MU-RTS帧携带的AID(如第三AID)建立紧急报告的传输机会。
601,AP向多个STA发送MU-RTS帧,STA接收MU-RTS帧,MU-RTS帧包括第三AID。
602,收到MU-RTS帧的STA向AP发送CTS帧,AP接收STA反馈的CTS帧。
当收到MU-RTS帧的STA为多个时,需要传输紧急报告的多个STA收到MU-RTS后,向AP反馈同步CTS帧。同步CTS即需要上报CTS的多个STA同时向AP发送CTS,且各个CTS的物理层结构相同。
603,AP向多个STA发送接入帧,例如接入帧可以为带有紧急RAW IE的帧。带有紧急RAW IE的帧可以包括第二AID和/或RAW控制字段。第二AID用于指示STA竞争用于传输紧急报告的资源,RAW控制字段用于指示接入窗口的业务数据类型为紧急报告,有紧急报告的STA可以采用RAW接入。
604,多个STA采用基于CSMA/CA的方式竞争资源。
接收到带有紧急RAW IE的帧的STA可以进行资源竞争,例如,采用基于CSMA/CA的方式竞争,这种可以利用RAW传输紧急报告。
605,竞争到资源的STA1在相应的资源上向AP发送紧急报告,AP接收STA1发送的紧急报告。
对于STA3,假设STA3没有紧急报告需要传输,由于RAW仅用于传输紧急报告,即使STA3有一般数据需要传输也无法通过RAW传输。所以,图6中STA3不传输数据。
606,AP向STA1发送确认帧。
607,竞争到资源的STA2在相应的资源上向AP发送紧急报告,AP接收STA2发送的紧急报告。
608,AP向STA2发送确认帧。
图7是本申请一个实施例的带有紧急接入窗口信息元素的帧的结构示意图。图7的带有紧急接入窗口信息元素的帧包括RAW控制字段、窗口持续时长字段、窗口开始时间字段、第二AID、信道指示字段和周期性指示字段,其中,RAW控制字段和第二AID只要包括其中的至少一个即可。
RAW控制字段用来指示接入窗口的类型为紧急报告,这样可以对可能存在的多种接入窗口的类型进行区别指示。窗口持续时长和窗口开始时间指示着限制竞争窗口的区间,还可以采用其他方式,比如开始时间和结束时间等去指示,也可以采用默认的时长或者区间。第二AID用来指示需要传输紧急报告的STA进行紧急报告的传输。如果RAW控制字段中定义了紧急报告的接入窗口类型,则第二AID可以省略。如果RAW的类型中没有单独为紧急报告窗口定义类型,则可以采用第二AID去进一步指示需要传输紧急报告的STA进行紧急报告的传输。信道指示用于指示允许STA竞争的信道。周期性指示用于定义是否采用周期性的竞争窗口。
图8是本申请一个实施例的通过信标帧携带的TIM指示触发传输紧急报告的示意图。图8以画出的一个AP和三个STA:STA1、STA2、STA3为例进行示例性说明。
801,AP向多个STA发送信标(Beacon)帧,Beacon帧包括TIM字段。
TIM的每一个比特对应一个关联的STA。TIM的比特置1,表示AP处缓存着所对应STA的下行数据,若置0,则表示AP处不包含所对应STA的下行数据。TIM中不同的比特位与不同的STA对应。
在本申请的一个实施例中,还可以复用TIM,TIM用于指示当前beacon帧周期内AP会触发STA传输紧急报告。TIM可以用于AP提前通知STA准备传输紧急报告,例如,提前通知准备传输紧急报告的STA不再休眠,或处于唤醒状态。这样提前通知可以减小 传输时间,提高传输效率。
802,AP向多个STA发送TF-R帧,其中,TF-R帧携带第一AID。
步骤802的具体流程参照步骤301,在此不再详细赘述。
803,多个STA进行OFDMA竞争。
步骤802的具体流程参照步骤302,在此不再详细赘述。
804,多个STA在竞争到的资源上发送与各自对应的紧急报告。
步骤802的具体流程参照步骤303,在此不再详细赘述。
805,AP向多个STA发送M-BA帧。
步骤802的具体流程参照步骤304,在此不再详细赘述。
图9是本申请一个实施例的利用中继传输紧急报告的示意图。
对于部分STA和AP之间的长距离的传输需求,可能需要借助中继进行业务数据的转发。中继可以从AP接收控制帧并向与之关联的STA发送控制帧,需要传输第一类业务数据的STA收到中继发送的控制帧,可以根据控制帧进行信道竞争,并在竞争到的信道上向中继传输紧急报告。换句话说,中继可以在AP和STA之间转发触发帧和紧急报告。但是,上述利用中继操作的方式可能会增加延迟。
为了减小延迟,AP可以在向中继传输控制帧时,在步骤901,AP可以同时向其它STA(例如STA1)发送TF-R帧,且TF-R帧包括AID X。
TF-R帧还可以包括对整个传输带宽的资源分配信息,对整个传输带宽进行资源分配,部分资源分配给与其关联的需要传输紧急业务的STA进行竞争传输,比如图中的信道2;将部分资源,如图中的信道1,分配给中继(Relay)使得中继在AP和STA之间转发触发帧和紧急报告的转发,并使得中继收集与其关联的STA的紧急报告,并约定并行处理结束时间。在步骤902,在信道2,STA1接收AP发送的TF-R帧,并进行紧急报告的OFDMA竞争,在竞争到的信道上向AP传输紧急报告,AP收到紧急报告时向STA反馈确认帧。在步骤903中,在信道1,中继接收TF-R帧并将其转发至与其关联的STA(例如STA2),STA2收到TF-R帧,进行紧急报告的OFDMA竞争,并在竞争到的资源上传输紧急报告。步骤902和步骤903的结束时间为资源分配信息中约定的并行处理结束时间。
步骤904,在并行处理结束时间之后,中继将收集到的紧急报告再转发给AP,或者,中继利用信道2,采用OFDMA竞争的方式,提前将紧急报告发送给AP。步骤905,AP收到中继转发的收集到的AP后,向中继发送确认帧,确认帧用于表示确认AP已收到中继发送的紧急报告。这样,利用中继可以提高紧急报告的传输效率。
图10是本申请一个实施例的利用HE-A-Control承载AID(如第四AID)的缓存信息的帧的结构示意图。
本申请实施例中的第四AID包括在需求信息中,且第四AID用于指示第三STA传输第一类业务数据的需求或者指示第三STA需要传输的与第三STA相应的第一类业务的数据大小。第三STA为有紧急报告传输需求,但由于信道状况或距离限制在有些情况下无法将紧急报告传输给AP的站点。第一STA为第三STA周边的站点,可以帮助第三STA完成紧急报告需求信息的传输,这样可以提高第三STA传输紧急报告的传输需求。
图10表示的帧结构中非常高吞吐率(Very High Throughput,VHT)占1个比特,高效(High Efficient,HE)占一个比特,聚合字段(Aggregated Control)占30个比特。聚 合控制字段包括控制1(Control 1)字段、…、控制N(Control N)字段和填充字段(Padding),控制1字段包括控制ID(Control ID)字段和控制信息(Control Info)字段,控制信息字段包括缓存信息和需求次数。在本申请的另一个实施例中,可以利用图10所示的高吞吐率控制(High Throughput Control)字段中的高效聚合控制(High Efficient Aggregated Control,HE-A-Control)字段中的控制ID字段承载第四AID的缓存信息。
HE-A-Control字段可以承载1~N个控制信令,其中通过控制ID用于指示控制信令的类型为第四AID的缓存信息。在本申请的一个实施例中,可以定义一种新的控制信令类型为第四AID的缓存信息,可以承载的信息包括第四AID的缓存信息大小,以及收集到的缓存需求的次数。在本申请的另一个实施例中,可以先定义一种缓存信息的控制信令,然后在通过比特指示缓存信息是自己的缓存信息,还是其他STA的缓存信息。
为了防止需求的广播产生广播风暴,即防止不断的重复广播下去,可以对是否允许转发需求以及转发的次数进行限制。比如,可以限制,只有自己有需求的STA才可以广播自己的需求,而其他STA,只可以将需求发送给AP,而不可以继续广播该需求。
上面结合图2至图10详细说明了利用控制帧中的AID或RAW控制字段指示有第一类业务数据传输需求的STA进行上行的数据传输。下面结合图11和图12说明AP下行传输第一类业务数据。
图11是本申请另一实施例的传输业务数据的方法的示意性流程图。
1101,AP获取数据包,数据包包括资源指示信息和广播信息,资源指示信息包括第一AID。
AP可以采用多用户格式下行传输业务数据,资源指示信息可以包括在数据包的高效信令B即HE-SIG-B字段。第一AID用于指示参与传输第一类业务数据的站点STA读取广播信息。
1102,AP向STA发送数据包,STA接收AP发送的数据包。
1103,STA根据数据包中的第一AID读取广播信息。
数据包包括资源指示信息和广播信息,资源指示信息包括第一AID。第一AID用于指示参与传输第一类业务数据的站点STA读取广播信息,而不参与第一类业务数据传输的紧急报告不需要读取广播信息,换句话说,参与第一类业务数据的STA可以读取数据包中的数据,如图12中读取紧急报告。STA收到数据包,可以根据数据包携带的信息指示STA读取广播信息,这样可以完成下行业务数据的传输,提高业务数据的传输效率。
本申请实施例通过AP向STA发送包括资源指示信息和广播信息的数据包,这样STA收到数据包可以根据资源指示信息中的AID启动第一类业务数据的传输流程,这样能够提高传输效率。
图12是本申请一个实施例的利用HE-SIG-B字段携带的第一AID进行资源指示的示意图。图12中的数据包的帧结构包括传统短训练(Legacy Short Training field,L-STF)字段、传统长训练(Legacy Long Training field,L-LTF)字段、传统信令字段(Legacy Signal field,L-SIG)及其重复、高效信令(High Efficiency Signal field,HE-SIG)A字段、高效信令B字段、高效短训练(High Efficiency Short Training field,HE-STF)字段、高效长训练(High Efficiency Long Training field,HE-LTF)字段和数据(Data)字段,这里的数据字段以紧急报告为例进行示例性说明。
