具体实施方式
现在将参考附图更全面地描述示例实施方式。然而,示例实施方式能 够以多种形式实施,且不应被理解为限于在此阐述的范例;相反,提供这些实施方式使得本申请将更加全面和完整,并将示例实施方式的构思全面地传达给本领域的技术人员。
此外,所描述的特征、结构或特性可以以任何合适的方式结合在一个或更多实施例中。在下面的描述中,提供许多具体细节从而给出对本申请的实施例的充分理解。然而,本领域技术人员将意识到,可以实践本申请的技术方案而没有特定细节中的一个或更多,或者可以采用其它的方法、组元、装置、步骤等。在其它情况下,不详细示出或描述公知方法、装置、实现或者操作以避免模糊本申请的各方面。
附图中所示的方框图仅仅是功能实体,不一定必须与物理上独立的实体相对应。即,可以采用软件形式来实现这些功能实体,或在一个或多个硬件模块或集成电路中实现这些功能实体,或在不同网络和/或处理器装置和/或微控制器装置中实现这些功能实体。
附图中所示的流程图仅是示例性说明,不是必须包括所有的内容和操作/步骤,也不是必须按所描述的顺序执行。例如,有的操作/步骤还可以分解,而有的操作/步骤可以合并或部分合并,因此实际执行的顺序有可能根据实际情况改变。
图1示出了可以应用本申请实施例的技术方案的示例性系统架构的示意图。
如图1所示,系统架构可以包括接入点(Access Point,简称AP)101、站点(non-AP,即Station,简称STA)102和站点103。其中,接入点101、站点102和站点103组成无线局域网(Local Area Network,简称LAN)。站点可以是智能手机、平板电脑、便携式计算机、台式计算机等等。
应该理解,图1中所示的接入点和站点的数目仅仅是示意性的。根据实现需要,可以具有任意数目的接入点和站点。
在本申请的一个实施例中,接入点101可以生成无线通信消息帧,该无线通信消息帧可以是触发帧,该无线通信消息帧中包含有需要接入信道的各个设备的信息,以及该各个设备的接入顺序。当接入点101获取到可用的传输信道的信息之后,可以发送该无线通信消息帧以开启数据传输流程,并指示无线通信消息帧中包含的各个设备,按照该接入顺序在该数据传输流程中依次通过传输信道发送通信数据。
比如,若该无线通信消息帧中包含有站点102和站点103的信息,并且站点102的接入顺序处于站点103之前,那么接入点101在获取到可用的传输信道之后,可以发送该无线通信消息帧。当站点102接收到该无线通信消息帧之后,可以根据该无线通信消息帧获知该传输信道的信息,然 后在监听到信道空闲之后,可以通过该传输信道发送通信数据;当站点103接收到该无线通信消息帧之后,可以根据该无线通信消息帧获知其需要在站点102传输数据之后才能通过该传输信道传输数据,因此站点103可以监听该传输信道,当监听到站点102的数据传输完成且监听到该传输信道空闲时,站点103可以通过该传输信道发送数据。可见,本申请实施例的技术方案一方面使得能够避免各个设备在发送数据时都需要进行信道竞争而增加信令的开销,另一方面也使得各个设备能够合理有序地通过该指定传输信道发送数据,进而有利于提高信道的利用率及设备之间的通信效率。
以下对本申请实施例的技术方案的实现细节进行详细阐述:
图2示出了根据本申请的一个实施例的通信方法的流程图,该通信方法可以由接入点设备来执行,比如可以由图1中所示的接入点101来执行。参照图2所示,该通信方法至少包括步骤S210至步骤S220,详细介绍如下:
在步骤S210中,生成无线通信消息帧,所述无线通信消息帧中包含有需要接入信道的各个设备的信息,以及所述各个设备的接入顺序。
在本申请的一个实施例中,无线通信消息帧可以是触发帧。需要接入信道的各个设备可以包括需要接入信道发送数据的站点设备,也可以包括需要接入信道发送数据的接入点设备。
在本申请的一个实施例中,如图3所示,无线通信消息帧可以是PPDU(Presentation Protocol Data Unit,表示层协议数据单元);PPDU是在MPDU(MAC Protocol Data Unit,MAC协议数据单元)的基础上添加了物理层帧头部(PHY Header)和PAD(填充)比特位形成的数据帧;而MPDU是在MSDU(MAC Service Data Unit,MAC服务数据单元)的基础上添加了MAC(Media Access Control,媒体访问控制)层帧头部(MAC Header)形成的数据帧;MSDU包含了接入参数信息、FCS(Frame Check Sequence,帧校验序列)及需要接入信道的各个设备的信息(如图3中所示的STA1、STA2和STA3),其中这些设备的信息的排列顺序表示了各个设备的接入顺序。如图3所示,STA1的接入顺序位于STA2之前,STA2的接入顺序位于STA3之前。
在本申请的一个实施例中,如图4所示,无线通信消息帧可以是PPDU。其中,可以在无线通信消息帧的MAC层帧头部分添加需要接入信道的各个设备的信息以及该各个设备的接入顺序的信息。其中,各个设备的接入顺序的信息也可以通过各个设备的信息的排列顺序来表示。在本申请的其它实施例中,也可以在无线通信消息帧的物理层帧头部分添加需要接入信道的各个设备的信息以及该各个设备的接入顺序的信息。
在本申请的一个实施例中,无线通信消息帧中还可以包含有第一指示 信息,该第一指示信息用于指示各个设备在数据传输流程中发送的数据帧的优先级大于或等于的指定优先级。即无线通信消息帧中包含的第一指示信息用于指示服务优先级的信息,进而各个设备在数据传输流程中发送的数据帧的优先级可以大于或等于第一指示信息指示的服务优先级。
在本申请的一个实施例中,无线通信消息帧中还可以包括数据传输流程的最大时长,或者还可以包括用于指示数据传输所采用的调制与编码策略(Modulation and Coding Scheme,简称MCS)的第四指示信息。
继续参照图2所示,在步骤S220中,若获取到可用的传输信道的信息,则发送所述无线通信消息帧以开启数据传输流程,并指示所述各个设备按照所述接入顺序在所述数据传输流程中依次通过所述传输信道发送通信数据。
在本申请的一个实施例中,接入点设备可以通过信道竞争的方式获取到可用的传输信道的信息。或者接入点设备也可以通过与其它接入点设备进行通信协商,以获取到可用的传输信道的信息。
在本申请的一个实施例中,无线通信消息帧中包含的各个设备可以在监测到前一个设备的数据传输完成之后,并监测到传输信道空闲时,就可以通过该传输信道发送通信数据。
在本申请的一个实施例中,接入点设备在发送无线通信消息帧之后,可以在检测到按照接入顺序的最后一个设备的数据传输完成后,发送关闭数据传输流程的消息帧。其中,该消息帧可以至少包含一个字段,用于表示关闭当前的数据传输流程。
在本申请的一个实施例中,各个设备在依次传输通信数据的过程中,可能会由于通信问题导致某个设备没有发送通信数据,在这种情况下也可以及时发送关闭数据传输流程的消息帧。具体而言,可以在无线通信消息帧中包含的目标设备的传输时间内,若在第一预定时长内未检测到该目标设备发送的通信数据,则发送关闭该数据传输流程的消息帧。其中,接入点设备在发送无线通信消息帧时,可以确定该无线通信消息帧所对应分组中的各设备的接入顺序以及允许的传输时长。所述第一预定时长例如从接入点设备检测到目标设备的前一个设备的通信数据(数据帧)传输完成时刻开始计时。当目标设备为分组中的第一个设备时,所述第一预定时间例如从接入点设备发送所述无线通信消息帧之后起计时。
在本申请的一个实施例中,在发送关闭数据传输流程的消息帧之后,可以生成新的无线通信消息帧,该新的无线通信消息帧所指示的数据传输时长小于或等于关闭的数据传输流程的剩余传输时长。根据本申请实施例,通过利用剩余传输时长,可以满足不同等级的需求。例如,在分组的设备较少、所需的通信时长较短时,可以利用“剩余传输时长”来满足通信需 求,以提高空口的利用率。
在本申请的一个实施例中,若在数据传输过程中检测到第一设备与第二设备发送的通信数据产生干扰,则可以在第二预定时长内不开启包含有第二设备或第一设备的数据传输流程。该实施例的技术方案通过在第二预定时长内不开启包含有第二设备或第一设备的数据传输流程,使得能够避免第一设备与第二设备之间产生持续的干扰而影响数据传输。其中,所述第二预定时长例如从接入点设备检测到发生干扰的第一设备的数据传输和第二设备的数据传输中靠后的一个数据传输的完成时刻开始计时。
在本申请的一个实施例中,若在数据传输过程中检测到第一设备与第二设备发送的通信数据产生干扰,则可以在不同于第一设备的传输信道的其它传输信道上开启针对第二设备的数据传输流程。该实施例的技术方案通过在不同于第一设备的传输信道的其它传输信道上开启针对第二设备的数据传输流程,使得能够避免第一设备与第二设备在同一传输信道上产生干扰而影响数据传输。
在本申请的一个实施例中,无线通信消息帧中还可以包含有第二指示信息和第三指示信息,该第二指示信息用于指示该各个设备在数据传输流程中发送的数据帧的优先级等于指定优先级,该第三指示信息用于指示在数据传输流程中是否允许传输高于该指定优先级的业务数据;其中,若该第三指示信息指示在数据传输流程中允许传输高于该指定优先级的目标业务数据,则在按照接入顺序的最后一个设备的数据传输完成后,允许在所述传输信道中传输目标业务数据。该实施例的技术方案使得可以在原有数据传输业务正常进行的前提下,保证高优先级的业务数据得到及时传输。
在本申请的一个实施例中,若检测到前述的目标业务数据在所述传输信道中传输完成,则发送关闭所述数据传输流程的消息帧。
在本申请的另一个实施例中,在前述第三指示信息指示在数据传输流程中允许传输高于所述指定优先级的目标业务数据的情况下,若在所述最后一个设备的数据传输完成后的第三预定时长内未接收到该目标业务数据,则发送关闭所述数据传输流程的消息帧。
在本申请的一个实施例中,在前述第三指示信息指示在数据传输流程中允许传输高于所述指定优先级的目标业务数据的情况下,若在所述最后一个设备的数据传输完成后检测到多个其它设备在所述传输信道中传输的目标业务数据,则发送关闭所述数据传输流程的消息帧。该实施例的技术方案使得有多个其它设备发送的目标业务数据产生干扰时,能够及时关闭数据传输流程。
在本申请的一个实施例中,由于无线通信消息帧中包含的各个设备是在监测到前一个设备的数据传输完成之后才开始传输数据,如果设备之间 存在隐藏节点,那么可能会导致数据传输流程中断,因此本申请的实施例提供了如图5所示的处理流程,具体包括如下步骤:
步骤S510,根据各个设备的数据传输情况,确定所述各个设备中是否存在目标设备的隐藏节点。
在本申请的一个实施例中,目标设备可以是无线通信消息帧中所包含的任一个设备,如果某个设备距离目标设备太远导致不能接收到目标设备发送的数据,则可以将该设备作为目标设备的隐藏节点。
步骤S520,若存在所述目标设备的隐藏节点,则在再次生成无线通信消息帧时,将所述目标设备与所述隐藏节点包含在不同的无线通信消息帧中。
图5所示实施例的技术方案通过将目标设备与隐藏节点包含在不同的无线通信消息帧中,使得能够避免将互为隐藏节点的设备设置在同一个数据传输流程中而导致数据传输流程中断的问题。
前述实施例的技术方案从接入点设备的角度对本申请实施例的通信方法进行了阐述,以下结合图6,从站点设备的角度对本申请实施例的通信方法进行详细说明:
图6示出了根据本申请的一个实施例的通信方法的流程图,该通信方法可以由作为站点的设备来执行,比如可以由图1中所示的站点102或站点103来执行。参照图6所示,该通信方法至少包括步骤S610至步骤S630,详细介绍如下:
在步骤S610中,接收无线通信消息帧,所述无线通信消息帧中包含有需要接入指定传输信道的各个设备的信息,以及所述各个设备的接入顺序。
在本申请的一个实施例中,无线通信消息帧可以是触发帧。指定传输信道可以是接入点设备获取到的可用的传输信道。其中,指定传输信道可以是接入点设备通过信道竞争的方式获取到的,或者也可以是通过与其它接入点设备进行通信协商获取到的。
在步骤S620中,若所述无线通信消息帧中包含有指定设备的信息,则监听所述指定传输信道。
在本申请的一个实施例中,如果无线通信消息帧中包含有指定设备的信息,那么说明该指定设备可以通过该指定传输信道传输数据,因此,该指定设备可以对该指定传输信道进行监听。
在步骤S630中,若在所述指定传输信道上监听到所述指定设备基于所述接入顺序的前一个设备的数据发送完成,且监听到所述指定传输信道空闲,则由所述指定设备通过所述指定传输信道发送通信数据。
在本申请的一个实施例中,一个设备可以在指定传输信道上监听到前一个设备发送的数据帧时,确定前一个设备的数据发送完成。即该实施例 的技术方案不需要各个设备监听针对前一个设备发送的数据帧的接收确认信息。
在本申请的一个实施例中,可以在指定传输信道上监听到针对前一个设备发送的数据帧的接收确认信息时,确定前一个设备的数据发送完成。即该实施例的技术方案需要各个设备监听针对前一个设备发送的数据帧的接收确认信息(即ACK)。比如AP会针对各个设备发送的数据帧回复ACK信息,那么在这种情况下,当设备监听到AP针对前一个设备发送的数据帧所回复的ACK信息时,确定前一个设备的数据发送完成。基于该实施例的技术方案,无线通信消息帧中还可以包含用于指示ACK回复策略的指示信息,其用于指示AP会针对各个设备发送的数据帧回复ACK信息,并且各个设备需要在监听到针对前一个设备发送的数据帧的ACK信息之后,再确定是否开始发送数据帧。
图6所示实施例的技术方案一方面使得能够避免各个设备在发送数据时都需要进行信道竞争而增加信令的开销,另一方面也使得各个设备能够合理有序地通过该指定传输信道发送数据,进而有利于提高信道的利用率及设备之间的通信效率。
前述实施例分别从接入点设备和站点设备的角度对本申请实施例的通信方法进行了阐述,以下结合图7至图17,以在6GHz频段上由接入点调度站点进行信道接入为例,对本申请实施例中的技术方案进行详细阐述:
在本申请的一个实施例中,接入点AP可以通过调度分组STA的方式进行信道接入,在这种情况下,STA无需进行信道竞争,只需通过AP定义的接入顺序依次接入信道即可,进而可以避免各个STA进行信道竞争而增加信令的开销,有利于提高信道的利用率及设备间的通信效率。
在本申请的一个实施例中,AP与AP之间可以通过信道竞争的方式来获取到可用的信道,比如可以通过CSMA/CA(Carrier Sensing Multiple Access/Collision Avoidance,载波侦听多路访问/碰撞避免)的退避方式,如EDCA(Enhanced Distributed Channel Access,增强分布式信道接入)来竞争可用的信道,或者也可以通过AP之间的协商来确定可用的信道信息。在获得可用的信道信息之后,AP可以发送一个触发帧来定义整个接入流程的时间长度,所有收到该触发帧的STA都可以按照指示的时间长度设置NAV(Network Allocation Vector,网络分配矢量),在NAV设置时长内不允许接入信道。其中,NAV设置的时长例如是从STA接收到触发帧的时刻开始计时。
需要说明的是,EDCA是针对无线传输的控制信道接入的协议,EDCA基于CSMA/CA允许互相兼容的PHY(Physical,物理层)共享无线媒介。其中,在载波侦听(Carrier Sensing)的过程中,PHY通过在每一个时隙执 行物理的侦听,可以得知无线媒介是否为空闲状态。在随机退避(Random Backoff)过程中,EDCA会从一定范围内选择一个随机整数值作为初始的退避时间,当PHY在一个时隙内侦听到共享媒介为空闲时,EDCA会开始进行退避,即退避计时减去1。当退避计时为0时,EDCA就判断为竞争信道接入成功,即获得传输机会TXOP,并开始发送数据;如果退避过程中在一个时隙内侦听到媒介为忙,则退避会暂时挂起,当再次侦听到空闲时,会继续之前的退避,当两个设备同时退避计时为0时,则发生碰撞。
此外,在EDCA协议中定义了4类接入类别AC(Access Category),优先级从高到低依次为VO、VI、BE、BK,分别代表语音(Voice)类、视频(Video)类、尽力而为(Best Effort)类和背景(Background)类。
在本申请的一个实施例中,前述的触发帧可以是基于802.11ax的触发帧的扩展,也可以是重新定义的一种新的帧。触发帧中应当包含需要接入的各个STA的地址以及接入顺序,所有收到触发帧的且在该接入顺序中的STA,应当保持信道监听,当条件满足时立即接入信道。另外,触发帧中可以包含接入参数,以定义STA接入信道的最大长度、最低MCS等,进而STA在后续发送数据时,必须遵守触发帧中定义的接入参数。
在本申请的一个实施例中,触发帧的结构可以如图3所示,其中STA1、STA2、STA3在MSDU中出现的先后位置代表了接入顺序。触发帧也可以如图4所示,通过帧头部的信令(signal)部分指示STA分组信息。分组信息中可以包括组内STA的地址和接入顺序,以及对应的服务优先级指示。可选地,一个STA在一个触发帧中可以最多出现一次,且每个STA只能发送最多一个PPDU,分组信息中应至少包括一个STA。在本申请中,STA发送的PPDU和前文图3的触发帧的PPDU,区别在于MSDU部分(PPDU的净荷(payload))不同。STA发送的PPDU中的MSDU可以是具体的某业务的数据。
此外,在本申请的一个实施例中,触发帧中指示的分组信息可以与服务优先级相关联,在某一次的分组接入流程中,STA发送的帧数据的优先级应当大于或者等于分组对应的优先级。例如,某个分组对应一个服务优先级为VI,那么分组内的STA可以发送优先级为VI或者高于VI的PPDU,例如,优先级为VI或VO的PPDU。并且一个STA可能会出现在多个不同的接入分组中,对应于不同的服务优先级。
在本申请的一个实施例中,如图7所示,STA的处理流程主要包括如下步骤:
步骤S701,当STA接收到触发帧之后,判断自己是否在触发帧定义的分组中;若是,则执行步骤S702;否则,设置NAV。其中,STA可以通过 判断其地址是否包括在触发帧中,来判断自己是否在触发帧定义的分组中。STA的地址可以是MAC地址、AID(Association Identification,连接标识)和/或其他标识。
步骤S702,STA记录接入顺序中该STA的前一个STA的地址。
步骤S703,STA监听触发帧指示的接入信道。
步骤S704,STA判断是否通过监听的接入信道接收到数据帧,若是,则执行步骤S705;否则,返回步骤S703继续监听所述接入信道。
步骤S705,STA判断监听到的数据帧是否来自于接入顺序中的前一个STA,若是,则执行步骤S706;否则,返回步骤S703继续监听所述接入信道。
步骤S706,STA监听触发帧指示的接入信道。
步骤S707,STA判断接入信道是否空闲,若是,则通过该接入信道发送数据;否则返回步骤S706继续监听接入信道是否空闲。
在本申请的一个实施例中,STA在监听信道从繁忙变为无任何信号传输且保持一段时间后,可以判定信道空闲。其中,保持的这一段时间可以是SIFS(Short interframe space,短帧间间隔),或者是其它时间长度。
在本申请的一个实施例中,如图8所示,AP的处理流程主要包括如下步骤:
步骤S801,AP发送触发帧,以设置对指定信道的接入时长。在发送触发帧之后,AP应当保持信道监听,以确认信道接入是否按照规划进行,即监听接入顺序中的STA是否按顺序依次发送PPDU。
步骤S802,AP判断是否通过指定信道接收到PPDU,若是,则执行步骤S803;否则等待一段时间(比如可以是SIFS)执行步骤S807。
步骤S803,判断接收到的PPDU解码是否正确,若是,则执行步骤S804;否则等待一段时间(比如可以是SIFS)执行步骤S807。其中,如果STA在数据发送过程中出现了碰撞,则AP收到了该STA的PPDU后可能会无法解码成功。
步骤S804,判断接收到的PPDU是否来自于接入顺序的下一个STA,若是,则执行步骤S805;否则执行步骤S810。其中,触发帧中第一个站点的前一个站点可以是发送触发帧的AP。在这种情况下,当AP第一次接收到PPDU时,判断接收到的该PPDU是否是AP之后的第一个STA发送的。对于其他PPDU,AP可以判断接收到的PPDU是否是来自已收到的PPDU的STA的在接入顺序中的下一个STA。步骤S805,判断接收到的PPDU是否来自于接入顺序的最后STA,若是,则执行步骤S806;否则执行步骤S809。
步骤S806,等待该PPDU接收完成,然后等待一段时间(比如可以是SIFS)之后返回步骤S802。
步骤S807,判断触发帧定义的接入时长中是否剩余足够的接入时长,若是,则执行步骤S808;否则执行步骤S810。其中,AP在步骤S801发送触发帧之前,已经计算出了此次数据传输流程的总时长,即,接入时长,并且可以将该接入时长包括在触发帧中。在步骤S807中,AP可以根据接入时长和本次数据传输已进行时长,便可以得知剩余的接入时长。之后,AP再将剩余的接入时长与步骤S809发送消息帧所需要的时长加上必要的帧之间间隔的时长之和进行比较,来判断是否剩余足够的接入时长。
步骤S808,判断信道是否空闲,若是,则执行步骤S809;否则返回步骤S807。
步骤S809,发送消息帧,以关闭当前的接入流程。
步骤S810,确定发送失败,停止接入流程。
在本申请的一个实施例中,AP可以将没有成功发送PPDU的STA从当前的分组中删除,以保证分组的接入效率。
以下通过AP与STA之间的交互流程来详细阐述本申请实施例的技术方案:
在本申请的一个实施例中,如图9所示,AP通过发送触发帧来发起一个分组接入流程,触发帧中所包含的STA依照接入顺序依次接入信道。比如,STA接入顺序可以为STA1—STA2—STA3,那么当STA1通过信道发送PPDU给AP之后,STA2在该信道上监听到STA1的该PPDU的发送和结束,然后监听信道为空闲且等待SIFS之后,开始发送;类似地,当STA2通过信道发送PPDU给AP之后,STA3在该信道上监听到STA2的该PPDU的发送和结束,然后监听信道为空闲且等待SIFS之后,开始发送STA3的PPDU。AP在收到接入顺序中最后一个STA3的PPDU之后,可以发送一个帧以关闭流程。
在本申请的一个实施例中,AP还可以在触发帧中将AP作为一个接入STA包括在分组中。如图10所示,AP通过发送触发帧来发起一个分组接入流程,触发帧中定义的接入顺序为STA1—STA2—AP—STA3。当STA1通过信道发送PPDU给AP之后,STA2在该信道上监听到STA1的该PPDU的发送和结束,然后监听信道为空闲且等待SIFS之后,开始发送STA2的PPDU;当AP收到STA2发出的PPDU之后,监听信道为空闲,经过SIFS之后,AP发送PPDU给STA1;STA3在收到AP发送的PPDU之后,监听信道为空闲,并经过SIFS之后,开始发送STA3的PPDU。AP在收到接入顺序中最后一个STA3的PPDU之后,可以发送一个帧以关闭 流程。可选地,AP在接入顺序中可以只出现最多一次。根据本申请实施例,某些业务可能具有双向传输的要求,例如,STA1发送PPDU给AP之后,可能需要尽快得到AP发送的下行确认或者下行数据。通过将AP作为一个接入STA包括在分组中,可以提高分组接入流程的灵活性和不同场景的适应性。在本申请的一个实施例中,由于6GHz的覆盖范围小于传统Wi-Fi的2.4GHz频段,因此隐藏节点(Hidden Node)的问题会更严重。如图11所示,STA2和STA3互为6GHz上的隐藏节点,即无法收到对方发出的PPDU。当AP发起一个如图12所示的分组接入流程时,即接入顺序为STA1—STA2—STA3,那么当STA2发出PPDU之后,STA3无法接收到PPDU,在这种情况下,由于不满足STA3的接入条件,STA3会一直保持监听,不会发送任何PPDU。同时,AP在收到STA2发出的PPDU且经过一段时间(SIFS)之后没有收到STA3的PPDU,那么AP可以在继续等待一段时间(等待的总时间可以是DIFS(Distributed Inter-frame Spacing,分布式帧间间隙))之后,选择发送一个帧关闭当前的接入流程,或者也可以如图12所示,AP发送一个新的触发帧来定义一个新的接入分组,开始新的接入流程。其中,新发起的接入流程所定义的接入时长可以小于或等于上一个接入流程的剩余接入时长。通过这样,可以提高空口的利用率。
另外,AP可以通过这个接入流程侦测到网络情况,例如这里的STA2与STA3之间互为隐藏节点,因此在下一次接入分组中,AP可以重新规划分组STA,避免STA2与STA3同组。比如图12所示的接入流程2中,AP所发起的第二次接入流程仅包含了STA3—STA1的接入顺序,没有将STA2包含在分组中。
在本申请的一个实施例中,接入流程中的某次STA的PPDU发送可能会被干扰,干扰可能来自邻近BSS(Basic Service Set,基本服务集)中的STA,也可能是其它未知干扰。比如图13所示的干扰情况中,STA4没有收到AP发出的触发帧,因此在STA3发送PPDU的过程中也发送了PPDU,导致两个PPDU同时到达AP,发送碰撞。AP在监听到该碰撞之后,应等待信道空闲,并经过一段时间(例如EIFS(Extending Inter-frame Spacing,扩展帧间间隔))之后,再发起退避接入机制。具体如图14所示,STA3与STA4发送的PPDU在AP处发生碰撞,那么在经过一段时间(EIFS)之后,AP可以重新发起新的接入流程。
在图13所示的场景中,AP通过这次的接入流程可以了解到STA3当前可能处于易受干扰的情况,因此在一段时间内可以避免再次发起包括STA4的分组接入。并且在一段时间之后,如图14所示,当AP通过退避机制重新拿到信道接入之后,AP可以再次对STA3发起分组接入。其中, 所述一段时间可以包括从STA3或STA4的PPDU传输(二者中靠后的一个)完成开始的一段EIFS时长。当然,由于AP通过这次的接入流程可以了解到STA3当前可能处于易受干扰的情况,因此AP也可以在其它信道上再次发起包括STA4的分组接入,以避免在当前信道上对STA3产生干扰。
在本申请的一个实施例中,如果是针对需要立即回复ACK(Acknowledgement,确认字符)的业务所发起的分组接入流程,那么分组中的STA需要在监听到针对前一个STA发送的PPDU的ACK信息之后,且监听到信道空闲时再进行发送。如图15所示,在AP发送的触发帧所指示的接入流程中,STA发送的PPDU必须是需要立即回复ACK的PPDU。这时,所触发的接入顺序(STA1—STA2—STA3)中的STA应当将发送条件设置为AP发出ACK之后信道空闲,且ACK所指示的地址应为前一个STA的地址(即AP发送的ACK是针对前一个STA发送的PPDU的确认信息)。具体地,当STA1通过信道发送PPDU给AP之后,AP针对STA1发送的PPDU回复ACK信息,STA2在该信道上监听到AP发送的针对STA1发送的PPDU的ACK信息,然后监听信道为空闲且等待SIFS之后,开始发送STA2的PPDU;当STA2通过信道发送PPDU给AP之后,AP针对STA2发送的PPDU回复ACK信息,STA3在该信道上监听到AP发送的针对STA2发送的PPDU的ACK信息,然后监听信道为空闲且等待SIFS之后,开始发送STA3的PPDU;AP在接收到STA3发送的PPDU之后,可以回复ACK信息,然后可以等待SIFS之后发送一个帧以关闭流程。基于该实施例的技术方案,无线通信消息帧中还可以包含用于指示ACK回复策略的指示信息,其用于指示AP会针对各个STA发送的数据帧回复ACK信息,并且各个STA需要在监听到针对前一个STA发送的数据帧的ACK信息之后,再确定是否可以开始发送数据帧。
在本申请的一个实施例中,触发帧中定义的STA分组可以与服务优先级对应。在这种情况下,各个STA所发送的PPDU对应的优先级可以等于也可以大于分组对应的优先级。
在本申请的另一个实施例中,STA分组中的各个STA所发送的PPDU的优先级只能等于分组对应的优先级。同时,在触发帧中可以指定当前发起的接入流程是否允许更高优先级业务的越权接入,如果设置为允许更高优先级业务的越权接入,则在接入顺序中的最后一个STA发送PPDU完毕后,其它分组中的STA可以在等待一段时间(例如SIFS)之后,立刻发送一个更高优先级的PPDU。具体如图16所示,当包含STA1和STA2的分组中最后一个STA(即STA2)发送PPDU完毕后,STA3可以等待SIFS之后,立刻发送一个更高优先级的PPDU。
在本申请的一个实施例中,如果AP在触发帧中设置了允许更高优先级业务的越权接入,那么在接入顺序的最后一个STA发送完毕后,可以等待一个更长的时间(如DIFS),如果没有其它STA越权接入发送更高优先级的PPDU,那么AP可以发送一个帧关闭接入流程。如果AP收到了其它STA越权接入发送更高优先级的PPDU,则可以开始接收,并在接收完毕后,发送一个帧关闭流程。通过接收到这个高优先级PPDU,AP可以了解到当前网络中有更高优先级业务需要接入,因此可以在下一次流程选择更高优先级的STA分组优先接入。
在本申请的一个实施例中,如果分组的多个STA都在最后一个分组STA发送完成后发送更高优先级业务,则会出现碰撞。具体如图17所示,STA3和STA4在STA2发送完成后都向AP发送更高优先级的业务,那么AP在检测到碰撞之后,可以在等待碰撞完成后发送一个帧关闭当前接入流程。通过碰撞,AP可以了解到当前网络中更高优先级业务需要接入且需求急切,因此可以在下一次流程中选择更高优先级的分组优先接入。
本申请上述实施例的技术方案通过确定分组STA内的各个STA的接入顺序,使得各个STA可以按照规定依次接入信道发送PPDU,减少了空口竞争以及信令交互的开销。同时,由于本申请实施例的技术方案可以允许更高优先级的业务越权接入,因此在一定程度上可以保障更高优先级业务的传输,并且也能够使AP及时了解到网络中高优先级业务的传输需求,进而可以更快速地适应网络变化,更高效地进行接入调度。
需要说明的是,上述实施例中以6GHz频段为例对本申请实施例的技术方案进行了阐述,在本申请的其它实施例中,也可以将本申请实施例的技术方案应用到其它的频段内,比如5GHz频段等,以实现更高效的接入控制。
