Technical field

This application relates to the field of communications, and in particular to a method, device, and system for determining spectrum resources.

Background technique

Spectrum resources are divided into licensed spectrum and unlicensed spectrum. The licensed spectrum is purchased by an operator and provides wireless services on that spectrum. Unlicensed spectrum does not need to be purchased. All devices that use this spectrum resource share spectrum resources according to certain rules. These spectrum resources are divided into a series of channels according to frequency, and these channels are shared and used by all devices.

The process may be: the device monitors the channel, generates a random number when the channel is monitored to be idle, counts down based on the random number, and uses the channel to send data when the count reaches zero. Among them, there may be multiple devices listening to the channel idle at the same time, if each device immediately sends data on the channel when it detects that the channel is idle, a conflict occurs; if each device generates a random number and counts down based on the random number When the data is sent on the channel when it reaches 0, the collision can be reduced.

The first identification set includes the identification of the first device 21 that sent the competition information during the contention period of the data slot, and sends the competition feedback information.

In this way, the first device 21 can determine the second spectrum resource according to the contention feedback information, and the second spectrum resource is a spectrum resource in a channel that can be used by the first device 21 in the data period of the data slot.

Optionally, the first spectrum resource may include one or more subcarriers in the channel.

The second spectrum resource is the spectrum resource in the channel available to the first device in the data slot. The first The identification set includes the identification of each third device and the identification of the first device.

Referring to FIG. 2A, an embodiment of the present application provides a method for determining spectrum resources. The method can be applied to the network architecture described in any of the foregoing embodiments of FIGS. 1A, 1B, and 1E, including:

Step 201: The first device sends contention information through the first spectrum resource during the contention period of the first data slot. The first spectrum resource is a part of the spectrum resource corresponding to the first device in the channel. The first data slot includes The contention period and the data period after the contention period, the contention information is used to request to occupy spectrum resources in the channel.

Optionally, the number of devices corresponding to the first spectrum resource is greater than or equal to 1, when the number of devices corresponding to the first spectrum resource is 1, the device corresponding to the first spectrum resource includes only the first device, the first spectrum The resources correspond one-to-one with the identification of the first device. When the number of devices corresponding to the first spectrum resource is greater than 1, the device corresponding to the first spectrum resource includes other devices in addition to the first device. In this case, each device corresponding to the first spectrum resource uses a codeword to perform Differentiate, the codeword of each device is different, that is to say the first device corresponds to the first spectrum resource and the codeword of the first device, and the identifier of the first device corresponds to the first spectrum resource and the codeword of the first device .

Therefore, when the number of devices corresponding to the first spectrum resource is greater than 1, the contention information sent by the first device may also include the codeword of the first device.

Optionally, the first spectrum resource includes one or more subcarriers in the channel. When the first spectrum resource includes multiple subcarriers, the multiple subcarriers may be multiple subcarriers with continuous positions, or multiple subcarriers with discontinuous positions.

Optionally, the identification of the devices in the network architecture shown in FIGS. 1A, 1B, and 1E may be sequential numbers starting from 1. For example, assuming that the network architecture includes five devices, the identifiers of the five devices may be 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5, respectively.

Optionally, the channel may be an authorized channel or an unauthorized channel. The channel includes multiple spectrum resources, and the identification of one or more devices corresponding to each spectrum resource can be defined in advance in each device in the network architecture; or, each device in the network architecture can be determined using the same strategy The identifiers of one or more devices corresponding to each spectrum resource, and each device determines that the identifiers of the devices corresponding to one spectrum resource are the same.

For example, assume that the spectrum resource includes one subcarrier, and that the channel includes 256 subcarriers, that is, the channel includes 256 spectrum resources. Each device in the network architecture may determine that the identifier of the device corresponding to the first spectrum resource may be 1, 257 and 513, determine that the identifier of the device corresponding to the second spectrum resource may be 2, 258 and 514, and determine the third The identifiers of the devices corresponding to the spectrum resources are 3, 259 and 515,...

Each part of the spectrum resources in the channel corresponds to the identification of one or more devices. When a part of the spectrum resources corresponds to the identification of multiple devices, each of the multiple devices also includes a codeword, and the codewords in different devices are different. The part of the spectrum resources and the codeword of the device together with the identification of the device Corresponding.

Optionally, for the identification of each device in the network architecture, the identification may be manually configured for each device, or a server may be deployed, and each device may request the server to configure the identification for the device before accessing the channel.

Optionally, the device identification may be the device identification of the device or the network identification of the network where the device is located.

Referring to FIG. 2B, when the device identification is the network identification of the network where the device is located, the device may be an access point (AP) or base station (NodeB) in the network. There may be one or more devices in the network sharing one or more channels.

Optionally, in addition to configuring the identifier for the first device through the two methods described above, the first device may also configure the identifier for the device by other methods. For example, when the first device accesses the channel, it can configure an identifier for it through the following operations from 2011 to 2013. The operations from 2011 to 2013 are:

2011: The first device monitors the channel, and obtains a second set of identifiers when the identifiers of the third devices accessing the channel are monitored.

The third device is a device that has accessed the channel before the first device accesses the channel. The first device may obtain the second identification set in the following two ways, respectively:

In the first way, in the Beacon time slot, each third device that has accessed the channel broadcasts a first synchronization message on the channel, and the first synchronization message broadcast by the third device includes the identity of the third device. The first device receives the first synchronization message sent by each third device from the channel, obtains the identifier of each third device from each received first synchronization message, and obtains a second set of identifiers. The Beacon time slot may be located before the first data time slot.

Optionally, the first synchronization message broadcast by the third device may also include the identifier of the target time slot in the third device, the target time slot may be the Beacon time slot, or the target time slot is one after the Beacon time slot Data slot.

The identifier of the target time slot may be the sequence number of the target time slot. For example, the third device may set the sequence number of the first time slot to 1, the sequence number of the second time slot to 2, and the sequence number of the third time slot to 3.

Optionally, the first device may also select one device from the first device and at least one third device as the reference device; set the identifier of the target time slot in the first device to be the same as the identifier of the target time slot in the reference device, And / or, compensate the carrier frequency offset (Carrier Frequency Offset, CFO) of the first device according to the first synchronization information of the reference device.

Optionally, the first device may select the device with the earliest access network or the device with the strongest signal strength as the reference device.

In the second way, the first device can monitor the channel during the contention period of the data slot, obtain the identification of the device that sent the competition information on the channel, and obtain the second identification set.

In other data slots after the data slot, the first device may also monitor the channel during the contention period of the other data slot to obtain the identification of the device that sent the competition information on the channel. In the second identification set, the identification of the device is added to the second identification set.

2012: The first device selects an idle identifier according to the second identifier set, and sets the idle identifier as the identifier of the first device.

Since the device identifiers are formed by sequential numbering, the first device can determine which device identifiers are idle identifiers according to the second identifier set. For example, assuming that the second identifier set includes identifiers 1, 2, 5, and 7, the first device may determine that the idle identifier includes identifiers 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, ... according to the second identifier set.

2013: The first device detects whether there is a third device with the same identifier as the first device, and if a third device is detected, reselects an idle identifier according to the second identifier set, and sets the reselected idle identifier It is the identification of the first device.

Optionally, in the Beacon time slot, the first device may broadcast a first synchronization message including the identification of the first device on the channel. If the identity of a third device is the same as the identity of the first device, the third device may send a conflict message to the first device, the first device receives the conflict message, and determines that there is a third device with the same identity as the first device. Three devices, reselect an idle identifier according to the second identifier set, and set the reselected idle identifier as the identifier of the first device. After the first device resets the identification, it can also detect whether there is a third device with the same identification as the first device in the above manner.

Optionally, the first device can also monitor the channel during the contention period of the data slot to obtain the identification of the device that sent the competition information on the channel, if there is a certain identification and the identification of the first device in the identification of the monitored device If it is the same, it is determined that there is a third device with the same identifier as the first device, and a free identifier is reselected according to the second set of identifiers, and the reselected idle identifier is set as the identifier of the first device. After the first device resets the identification, it can also detect whether there is a third device with the same identification as the first device by monitoring the channel during the contention period.

Step 202: The second device receives contention information sent by the first device from the channel during the contention period of the first data slot, and generates contention feedback information according to the received contention information, the contention feedback information indicating contention in the first data slot The device requesting to occupy the channel during the period.

Optionally, the number of the second devices may be multiple, and each second device in the plurality of second devices may monitor the channel, and when it detects that there is competition information sent by the first device on the channel, the device may receive the second device. Competitive information.

Optionally, the contention feedback information may include a first identification set and / or a maximum value among values corresponding to each identification included in the first identification set, and the first identification set includes sending during a contention period of the first data slot The identity of the first device to compete for information.

Since the device identifier is a numeric value, the value corresponding to the identifier is essentially the identifier itself.

In this step, the second device may determine the first spectrum resource that receives the competition information sent by the first device, and obtain the identity of the first device corresponding to the first spectrum resource; or, include the first device in the competition information When acquiring the codeword of the first device, corresponding to the first spectrum resource and the codeword of the first device; acquiring the identifiers of the first devices to form a first set of identifiers, or, from the acquired first The largest value is selected from the values corresponding to the device identification, thereby obtaining competition feedback information.

When there are multiple second devices, each second device may generate competition feedback information, and the competition feedback information generated by each second device may be the same.

Step 203: The second device sends the competition feedback information.

Optionally, when there are multiple second devices, each second device in the multiple second devices may send the contention feedback information.

Step 204: The first device receives the contention feedback information, and determines the second spectrum resource according to the contention feedback information. The second spectrum resource is the spectrum resource in the channel that the first device can use during the data period of the first data slot.

The first device may use a preset rule to determine the second spectrum resource according to the contention feedback information, and the second spectrum resource may be used exclusively by the first device within the data period of the first data slot. When there are multiple second devices, the first device may determine the second spectrum resource using preset rules according to contention feedback information sent by any second device.

There are multiple ways for the first device to determine the second spectrum resource. For example, in this step, the following two examples of using preset rules to determine the second spectrum resource are listed. The two examples are:

In the first example, the first device obtains the identifier of the first data slot and the identifier of the first device, and determines the second spectrum resource according to the competition feedback information, the identifier of the first device, and the identifier of the first data slot. The second spectrum resource may be the entire channel.

Optionally, the first device may obtain the first identification set and the maximum value among the values corresponding to each identification included in the first identification set from the contention feedback information, and use the maximum value to calculate the modulo of the identification of the first data slot For the numerical value, select the one with the smallest difference from the modulus value from the first identification set; if the selected identification includes two, you can select the smallest identification or the largest identification from the two identifications; After selecting an identifier, if the selected identifier is the same as the identifier of the first device, the second spectrum resource is determined to be the channel, that is, the first device can send data through the channel during the data period of the first data slot.

For example, assume that the first device obtains the first set of identifiers from the contention feedback information including the identifiers 1, 3, and 5, and obtains the maximum value 5 in the first set of identifiers, and obtains the ID of the first data slot as 202. Numerical calculation The modulo value of the identifier of the first data slot is 202% 5 = 2, and% is the modulo operation. Select the identifier of the device with the smallest difference from the modulo value 2 from the first identifier set 1 and 3, select the smallest mark 1 from the marks 1 and 3. Assuming that the selected identifier 1 is the identifier of the first device, the second spectrum resource determined by the first device is the channel.

In a second example, the first device obtains the identifier of the first device, and determines the second spectrum resource according to the contention feedback information and the identifier of the first device. The second spectrum resource may be a part of the spectrum resource in the channel.

Optionally, the first device may obtain the identifier of the first device and the first identifier set from the competition feedback information, count the number M of identifiers in the first identifier set, sort the identifiers in the first identifier set, and determine The sequence number i where the identifier of the first device is located; it is determined that the second spectrum resource includes the subcarriers numbered M * n + i in the channel, n = 0, 1, 2, ..., * is a multiplication operation, M * n + i is less than or equal to the number of subcarriers included in the channel.

For example, assume that the first device can obtain the first device's identifier as 3 and obtain the first identifier set from the competition feedback information including identifiers 1, 3, and 5, count the number of identifiers in the first identifier set as 3, and check the first identifier Sort the identifiers in the set to determine the sequence number 2 where the identifier of the first device is located; determine that the second spectrum resource includes subcarriers numbered 3 * n + 2 in the channel, n = 0, 1, 2, ... , Where it is assumed that the channel includes 256 subcarriers, the maximum value of n may be 84.

Optionally, after determining the second spectrum resource, the first device may use the second spectrum resource to send or receive data within the data period of the first data slot.

Optionally, when the identifier of the first device is a network identifier, the first device first triggers the terminal accessing the first device to receive or send data within the data period of the first data slot, and then uses the second spectrum resource Send data to the terminal or receive data sent by the terminal.

Optionally, in addition to determining the second spectrum resource according to the steps from 201 to 205, the first device may also determine the spectrum resource in other ways. For example, the first device determines the spectrum resource by monitoring the channel.
