Description

数据传输方法及相关装置
本申请要求于2020年03月12日提交中国专利局、申请号为202010172792.6、申请名称为“数据传输方法及相关装置”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
本申请涉及无线局域网络技术领域,尤其涉及一种数据传输方法及相关装置。
背景技术
相关技术中,在网络设备进行单用户(Single User,SU)传输的场景下,网络设备向站点(station,STA)发送的物理层协议数据单元(Physical Protocol Data Unit,PPDU)包括传统前导码,高效-信令字段-A(High Efficient SIG A,HE-SIG-A)和数据。在网络设备进行多用户(Multiple User,MU)传输的场景下,网络设备向站点(station,STA)发送的物理层协议数据单元(Physical Protocol Data Unit,PPDU),所述PPDU包括传统前导码、HE-SIG-A、HE-SIG-B和数据。其中,HE-SIG-A和HE-SIG-B用于指示解调后续数据字段需要的信令信息。可以看出仅在MU传输的场景下,网络设备发送的PPDU中包含HE-SIG-B。这就导致STA在SU传输场景下接收PPDU和在MU传输场景下接收PPDU,需要采用两套差异较大的接收策略。而且,HE-SIG-A的比特数有限,导致在SU场景下,HE-SIG-A中携带的信息受限。
发明内容
本申请实施例提供了一种数据传输方法及相关装置,能够使得PPDU中的信令字段携带更多的信息。
第一方面,本申请实施方式提供一种数据传输方法,包括:
网络设备生成第一物理层协议数据单元PPDU,第一PPDU包括第一通用-信令字段U-SIG和第一极高吞吐率-信令字段EHT-SIG,第一U-SIG和第一EHT-SIG的信息比特数之和小于或等于78个信息比特;
网络设备向站点发送编码后的第一PPDU。
第一U-SIG和第一EHT-SIG符合以下至少一项:
第一U-SIG和第一EHT-SIG中的至少一个包括标识指示字段,标识指示字段用于唯一标识一个站点;例如,标识指示字段用于唯一标识所述网络设备所在基本服务集合(Basic Service Set,BSS)的一个站点;或
第一U-SIG或第一EHT-SIG包括指示PPDU格式的字段,指示PPDU格式的字段的占用的信息比特大于1信息比特;或
第一解调指示字段包括指示空间复用的字段。
如此,本申请实施方式的技术方案,不仅能够保证第一U-SIG和第一EHT-SIG的信息比特数之和小于78信息比特,节约指示开销,而且,在不增加指示开销的基础上,第一U-SIG和第一EHT-SIG也能够满足携带更多信息的需求。
需要说明的是,本申请实施方式中的第一EHT-SIG和第二EHT-SIG的命名是根据802.11be确定的。本申请实施方式中的第一EHT-SIG和第二EHT-SIG也名称也可以替换为其 他标准版本相关SIG字段的名称。本申请实施方式中的第一EHT-SIG和第二EHT-SIG并不限于指与802.11be相关的SIG字段,本申请实施方式中的第一EHT-SIG和第二EHT-SIG可用于指任一标准版本相关的SIG字段。
具体地,在一个可能的实现方式中,第一U-SIG和第一EHT-SIG中的至少一个包括标识指示字段,标识指示字段为用于唯一标识网络设备所在基本服务集合的一个站点的关联标识(Association Identifier,AID)。这样编码后的第一PPDU中包含的标识指示字段,能够唯一指示一个STA。STA可以从第一U-SIG和第一EHT-SIG获知该编码后的第一PPDU是否是发给自己的,无需继续接收后续的前导码数据字段,降低站点的功耗。而且,即使第一U-SIG和第一EHT-SIG之后的数据字段没有正确接收,由于站点能够在第一U-SIG和第一EHT-SIG就确定了第一PPDU是发送给自己的,站点也可以基于后边的重传进行混合自动重传请求(Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request,HARQ)合并接收。再有,第三方设备无需对正在传输的设备造成干扰即可获得第一PPDU的发送方和接收方,有助于第三方设备进行调度。
在另一个可能的实现方式中,第一U-SIG或第一EHT-SIG包括的指示PPDU格式的字段占用的信息比特大于1信息比特。这样相比较于指示PPDU的格式仅占一个信息比特的方案,本申请实施方式的指示PPDU格式的字段大于1信息比特,那么指示PPDU的格式的字段能够携带更多的信息,从而能够支持更多功能。
指示PPDU的格式的字段可用于指示PPDU的格式,和指示传输方式为SU或MU传输。这样,站点能够在接收前N-1个信息比特的U-SIG时,就确定是SU传输还是MU传输,从而能够采用相应的接收策略。
例如,指示PPDU format的字段还可包括指示传输场景是SU、MU且非正交频分多址(MU non-orthogonal frequency division multiple,MU non-OFDMA)的信息、或者MU OFDMA的信息,也还可以包括指示基于触发帧(trigger based,TB)的信息,还可以包括指示是否打孔的信息。
在又一个可能的实现方式中,第一U-SIG或第一EHT-SIG包括指示空间复用的字段,这样能够支持空间复用的功能。
可选的,指示空间复用的字段的长度为2信息比特。该指示空间复用的字段可用于指示以下四个条目中的任意一个条目,禁止基于参数的空间复用(Parameterized Spatail reuse DISALLOW,PSR_DISALLOW)的条目,禁止空间复用传输(SR_RESTRICTED)的条目,延迟空间复用传输的条目(SR_DELAY),禁止PSR同非SR组(Group)的重叠基本服务集合(Overlapping Basic Service Set,OBSS)-数据包识别(Packet Detection)的条目。用于站点实现空间复用的相应功能。
在某些实施方式中,编码前的第二PPDU的第二U-SIG的长度与第一U-SIG的信息比特数相等,且第一U-SIG的信息比特数与第二U-SIG的信息比特数均小于或等于52个信息比特,第一PPDU是网络设备在进行单用户传输时,网络设备向一个站点发送的,第二PPDU是网络设在进行多用户传输时,网络设备向多个站点发送的。如此,网络设备在SU场景下,向站点发送的第一PPDU中的第一U-SIG的信息比特数,和网络设备在MU场景下发送的第二PPDU中的第二U-SIG的信息比特数是相等的,这样便于可以缩小站点在SU场景下接收第一U-SIG的接收策略和在MU场景下接收第二U-SIG的接收策略的差异,更加便于站点在不同的场景下接收U-SIG。
在某些实施方式中,第一U-SIG和第一EHT-SIG包括标识指示字段,标识指示字段包括 第一指示子字段和第二指示子字段,第一U-SIG包括第一指示子字段,第一EHT-SIG包括第二指示子字段。这样充分利用第一U-SIG和第一EHT-SIG中的空余信息比特,避免因需要指示唯一一个站点标识,而导致增加第一U-SIG或第一EHT-SIG的信息比特数。
在某些实施方式中,第一指示子字段的起始信息比特为第一U-SIG的第N个信息比特,第一U-SIG字段的前N-1个信息比特的字段的字段类型与第二U-SIG的前N-1个信息比特的字段的字段类型对应相同,N为大于1且小于35的正整数。这样,站点在SU场景下接收第一U-SIG和在MU场景下接收第二U-SIG时,前面一部分信息比特的接收策略是一样的,从而有助于缩小站点在不同场景下,接收U-SIG的接收策略之前的差异,便于站点接收并解调PPDU。
在某些实施方式中,第一U-SIG的前N-1个信息比特和第二U-SIG的前N-1个信息比特的字段的字段类型包括以下一种或多种:指示物理层版本的字段,指示上行/下行的字段,指示基本服务集颜色的字段,指示传输机会的字段,指示带宽的字段,指示PPDU格式的字段,指示空时编码的字段,指示空间复用的字段,指示保护间隔与极高吞吐率-长训练序列尺寸的字段,指示低密度奇偶校验码以外的符号部分的字段,指示前向差错控制之前填充系数的字段,指示数据分组扩展歧义的字段,指示前导码打孔的字段。
在某些实施方式中,编码前的第二PPDU的第二EHT-SIG包括指示站点标识的字段,第一EHT-SIG的在第二指示子字段之后的字段的字段类型与第二EHT-SIG在指示站点标识的字段之后的字段的字段类型相同。这样,站点在SU场景下接收第一U-SIG和在MU场景下接收第二U-SIG时,在指示站点标识之后的字段之后的信息比特的接收策略是一样的,从而有助于缩小站点在不同场景下,接收U-SIG的接收策略之前的差异,便于站点接收并解调PPDU。
在某些实施方式中,第一EHT-SIG的在第二指示子字段之后的字段与第二EHT-SIG在指示站点标识的字段之后的字段的字段类型包括以下一种或多种:指示空时流数、中间前导码周期和多普勒的字段,指示波束成形的字段,指示波束改变的字段,指示编码与调制策略和是否采用双载波调制的字段,指示编码的字段。
在某些实施方式中,第一指示子字段的起始信息比特为第一U-SIG的第N个信息比特,第二U-SIG自第N个信息比特之后的字段和第二EHT-SIG在用于指示站点标识的字段之前的字段的字段类型包括以下一种或多种:指示EHT-SIG的符号数或多用户多输入多输出的用户数的字段,指示EHT-SIG的调制编码策略和是否采用双载波调制的字段,指示极高吞吐率-长训练序列EHT-LTF的符号数、中间前导码周期和多普勒的字段,指示资源单元分配的字段,指示前导码打孔指示的字段,指示中间26-子载波资源单元(Center 26-tone Resource Allocation,Center 26-tone RU)的字段。
在某些实施方式中,指示EHT-LTF的符号数、中间前导码周期和多普勒的字段为第一字符串,其中,第一字符串所属的第一字符串组指示不存在多普勒,第一字符串指示EHT-LTF的符号数,第一字符串组中的每个字符串对应一个EHT-LTF的符号数;或指示EHT-LTF的符号数、中间前导码周期和多普勒的字段为第二字符串,其中,第二字符串所属的第二字符串组指示存在多普勒,且中间前导码周期为第一周期,第二字符串指示EHT-LTF的符号数,第二字符串组中的每个字符串对应一个EHT-LTF的符号数;或指示EHT-LTF的符号数、中间前导码周期和多普勒的字段为第三字符串,其中,第三字符串所属的第三字符串组指示存在多普勒,且中间前导码周期为第二周期,第三字符串指示EHT-LTF的符号数,第三字符串组中的每个字符串对应一个EHT-LTF的符号数。
这样,通过上述方式节省信息比特,能够使得第一EHT-SIG和第二EHT-SIG能够承载更多的信息。
第二方面,本申请实施方式提供一种数据传输方法,包括:网络设备生成PPDU;和网络设备向站点发送PPDU;其中,PPDU包括EHT-SIG,EHT-SIG包括指示EHT-LTF的符号数、中间前导码周期和多普勒的字段;指示EHT-LTF的符号数、中间前导码周期和多普勒的字段为第一字符串,其中,第一字符串所属的第一字符串组指示不存在多普勒,第一字符串指示EHT-LTF的符号数,第一字符串组中的每个字符串对应一个EHT-LTF的符号数;或指示EHT-LTF的符号数、中间前导码周期和多普勒的字段为第二字符串,其中,第二字符串所属的第二字符串组指示存在多普勒,且中间前导码周期为第一周期,第二字符串指示EHT-LTF的符号数,第二字符串组中的每个字符串对应一个EHT-LTF的符号数;或指示EHT-LTF的符号数、中间前导码周期和多普勒的字段为第三字符串,其中,第三字符串所属的第三字符串组指示存在多普勒,且中间前导码周期为第二周期,第三字符串指示EHT-LTF的符号数,第三字符串组中的每个字符串对应一个EHT-LTF的符号数。这样,通过字符串所属的字符串组指示多普勒和中间前导码周期,而字符串本身的值指示EHT-LTF的符号数,从而可以节省用于指示多普勒和中间前导码周期的信息比特。
第三方面,本申请实施方式提供一种数据传输方法,包括:网络设备生成PPDU;网络设备向站点发送PPDU,用于发送PPDU的带宽大于20Mhz;带宽包括第一子带宽和第二子带宽,第一子带宽承载有PPDU的EHT-SIG的第一内容信道,第二子带宽承载有EHT-SIG的第二内容信道,第一内容信道的第i个信息比特至第j个信息比特承载有用户字段,第一内容信道的前i-1个信息比特的字段与第二内容信道的前i-1个信息比特的字段相同;或第一内容信道的第i个信息比特至第j个信息比特承载有指示资源单元分配的字段和用户字段,第一内容信道的前i-1个信息比特的字段与第二内容信道的前i-1个信息比特的字段相同;其中,i、j均为正整数,i<j。第一内容信道的前i-1个信息比特的字段与第二内容信道的前i-1个信息比特的字段可理解为U-SIG溢出的字段,这样在第一内容信道和第二内容信道复制传输U-SIG溢出的字段,能够增加站点正确接收的概率。
第四方面,本申请实施方式提供一种数据传输方法,包括:网络设备生成PPDU;网络设备向站点发送PPDU,用于发送PPDU的带宽大于20Mhz;带宽包括第一子带宽和第二子带宽,第一子带宽承载有PPDU的EHT-SIG的第一内容信道,第二子带宽承载有EHT-SIG的第二内容信道;第一内容信道的第i个信息比特至第j个信息比特承载有用户字段,第二内容信道中的第i个信息比特至第j个信息比特承载有填充字段,其中,i、j均为正整数,i<j。这样,第一内容信道和第二内容信道长度是相同的,便于站点接收第一内容信道和第二内容信道。而且,站点可以不读取该部分填充字段,从而能够简化站点的读取过程。
第五方面,本申请实施方式提供一种数据传输方法,包括:网络设备生成PPDU;网络设备向站点发送PPDU,用于发送PPDU的带宽大于20Mhz;带宽包括第一子带宽和第二子带宽,第一子带宽承载有PPDU的EHT-SIG的第一内容信道,第二子带宽承载有EHT-SIG的第二内容信道;第一内容信道包括第一用户子字段,第二内容信道包括第二用户子字段,第一用户的用户字段包括第一用户子字段和第二用户子字段。也即是说,在该实施方式中,同一个用户的用户字段,一部分在第一内容信道中传输,另一部分在第二内容信道中传输。这样,能够增加用于传输用户字段的信息比特数,从而能够传输更多的信息。
第六方面,本申请实施方式提供一种数据传输方法,包括:网络设备生成PPDU;网络 设备向站点发送PPDU,用于发送PPDU的带宽大于20Mhz;带宽包括第一子带宽和第二子带宽,第一子带宽承载有PPDU的EHT-SIG的第一内容信道,第二子带宽承载有EHT-SIG的第二内容信道;第一内容信道的用户字段与第二内容信道的用户字段相同。这样,用户字段在第一内容信道和第二内容信道上复制传输,这样能够增加站点正确接收的概率,增加可靠性。

站点接收网络设备发送的第一PPDU;
所述站点解码所述第一PPDU,得到解码后的第一PPDU,所述解码后的第一PPDU包括第一U-SIG和第一EHT-SIG,所述第一U-SIG和所述第一EHT-SIG的信息比特数之和小于或等于78个信息比特;

其中,PPDU包括EHT-SIG,EHT-SIG包括指示EHT-LTF的符号数、中间前导码周期和多普勒的字段;指示EHT-LTF的符号数、中间前导码周期和多普勒的字段为第一字符串,其中,第一字符串所属的第一字符串组指示不存在多普勒,第一字符串指示EHT-LTF的符号数,第一字符串组中的每个字符串对应一个EHT-LTF的符号数;或指示EHT-LTF的符号数、中间前导码周期和多普勒的字段为第二字符串,其中,第二字符串所属的第二字符串组指示存在多普勒,且中间前导码周期为第一周期,第二字符串指示EHT-LTF的符号数,第二字符串组中的每个字符串对应一个EHT-LTF的符号数;或指示EHT-LTF的符号数、中间前导码周期和多普勒的字段为第三字符串,其中,第三字符串所属的第三字符串组指示存在多普勒,且中间前导码周期为第二周期,第三字符串指示EHT-LTF的符号数,第三字符串组中的每个字符串对应一个EHT-LTF的符号数。
这样,站点通过字符串所属的字符串组确定多普勒和中间前导码周期,根据字符串本身的值指示EHT-LTF的符号数,这样用于指示EHT-LTF的符号数、多普勒和中间前导码周期的字段的信息比特数减少,这样PPDU中够可以承载其他更多的信息,从而使得站点可以从PPDU中获得更多信息。
第九方面,本申请实施方式还提供一种数据传输方法,包括:站点接收网络设备方式的PPDU。用于接收PPDU的带宽大于20Mhz;带宽包括第一子带宽和第二子带宽,第一子带宽承载有PPDU的EHT-SIG的第一内容信道,第二子带宽承载有EHT-SIG的第二内容信道,第一内容信道的第i个信息比特至第j个信息比特承载有用户字段,第一内容信道的前i-1个 信息比特的字段与第二内容信道的前i-1个信息比特的字段相同;或第一内容信道的第i个信息比特至第j个信息比特承载有指示资源单元分配的字段和用户字段,第一内容信道的前i-1个信息比特的字段与第二内容信道的前i-1个信息比特的字段相同;其中,i、j均为正整数,i<j。第一内容信道的前i-1个信息比特的字段与第二内容信道的前i-1个信息比特的字段可理解为U-SIG溢出的字段,这样在第一内容信道和第二内容信道复制传输U-SIG溢出的字段,能够增加站点正确接收的概率。
第十方面,本申请实施方式还提供一种数据传输方法,包括:站点接收网络设备方式的PPDU。用于接收PPDU的带宽大于20Mhz;带宽包括第一子带宽和第二子带宽,第一子带宽承载有PPDU的EHT-SIG的第一内容信道,第二子带宽承载有EHT-SIG的第二内容信道,第一内容信道的第i个信息比特至第j个信息比特承载有用户字段,第二内容信道中的第i个信息比特至第j个信息比特承载有填充字段,其中,i、j均为正整数,i<j。这样,第一内容信道和第二内容信道长度是相同的,便于站点接收第一内容信道和第二内容信道。而且,站点可以不读取该部分填充字段,从而能够简化站点的读取过程。
第十一方面,本申请实施方式还提供一种数据传输方法,包括:站点接收网络设备方式的PPDU。用于接收PPDU的带宽大于20Mhz;带宽包括第一子带宽和第二子带宽,第一子带宽承载有PPDU的EHT-SIG的第一内容信道,第二子带宽承载有EHT-SIG的第二内容信道;第一内容信道包括第一用户子字段,第二内容信道包括第二用户子字段,第一用户的用户字段包括第一用户子字段和第二用户子字段。也即是说,在该实施方式中,同一个用户的用户字段,一部分在第一内容信道中传输,另一部分在第二内容信道中传输。这样,能够增加用于传输用户字段的信息比特数,从而能够传输更多的信息。
第十二方面,本申请实施方式还提供一种数据传输方法,包括:站点接收网络设备方式的PPDU。用于接收PPDU的带宽大于20Mhz;带宽包括第一子带宽和第二子带宽,第一子带宽承载有PPDU的EHT-SIG的第一内容信道,第二子带宽承载有EHT-SIG的第二内容信道;第一内容信道的用户字段与第二内容信道的用户字段相同。这样,用户字段在第一内容信道和第二内容信道上复制传输,这样能够增加站点正确接收的概率,增加可靠性。
第十三方面,本申请实施方式还提供一种网络设备,包括:
处理单元,用于生成第一PPDU;所述第一PPDU包括第一通用-信令字段U-SIG和第一极高吞吐率-信令字段EHT-SIG,所述第一U-SIG和所述第一EHT-SIG的信息比特数之和小于或等于78个信息比特;
收发单元,用于向站点发送编码后的第一PPDU。
第一U-SIG和第一EHT-SIG符合以下至少一项:
第一U-SIG和第一EHT-SIG中的至少一个包括标识指示字段,标识指示字段用于唯一标识一个站点;例如,标识指示字段用于唯一标识所述网络设备所在基本服务集合(Basic Service Set,BSS)的一个站点;或
第一U-SIG或第一EHT-SIG包括指示PPDU格式的字段,指示PPDU格式的字段的占用的信息比特大于1信息比特;或
第一解调指示字段包括指示空间复用的字段。
如此,本申请实施方式的技术方案,不仅能够保证第一U-SIG和第一EHT-SIG的信息比特数之和小于78信息比特,节约指示开销,而且,在不增加指示开销的基础上,第一U-SIG和第一EHT-SIG也能够满足携带更多信息的需求。
在一个可能的实现方式中,第一U-SIG和第一EHT-SIG中的至少一个包括标识指示字段,标识指示字段为用于唯一标识网络设备所在基本服务集合的一个站点的关联标识(Association Identifier,AID)。这样编码后的第一PPDU中包含的标识指示字段,能够唯一指示一个STA。STA可以从第一U-SIG和第一EHT-SIG获知该编码后的第一PPDU是否是发给自己的,无需继续接收后续的前导码数据字段,降低站点的功耗。而且,即使第一U-SIG和第一EHT-SIG之后的数据字段没有正确接收,由于站点能够在第一U-SIG和第一EHT-SIG就确定了第一PPDU是发送给自己的,站点也可以基于后边的重传进行混合自动重传请求(Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request,HARQ)合并接收。再有,第三方设备无需对正在传输的设备造成干扰即可获得第一PPDU的发送方和接收方,有助于第三方设备进行调度。
在另一个可能的实现方式中,第一U-SIG或第一EHT-SIG包括的指示PPDU格式的字段占用的信息比特大于1信息比特。这样相比较于指示PPDU的格式仅占一个信息比特的方案,本申请实施方式的指示PPDU格式的字段大于1信息比特,那么指示PPDU的格式的字段能够携带更多的信息,从而能够支持更多功能。
指示PPDU的格式的字段可用于指示PPDU的格式,和指示传输方式为SU或MU传输。这样,站点能够在接收前N-1个信息比特的U-SIG时,就确定是SU传输还是MU传输,从而能够采用相应的接收策略。
例如,指示PPDU format的字段还可包括指示传输场景是SU、MU且非正交频分多址(MU non-orthogonal frequency division multiple,MU non-OFDMA)的信息、或者MU OFDMA的信息,也还可以包括指示基于触发帧(trigger based,TB)的信息,还可以包括指示是否打孔的信息。
在又一个可能的实现方式中,第一U-SIG或第一EHT-SIG包括指示空间复用的字段,这样能够支持空间复用的功能。
可选的,指示空间复用的字段的长度为2信息比特。该指示空间复用的字段可用于指示以下四个条目中的任意一个条目,禁止基于参数的空间复用(Parameterized Spatail reuse DISALLOW,PSR_DISALLOW)的条目,禁止空间复用传输(SR_RESTRICTED)的条目,延迟空间复用传输的条目(SR_DELAY),禁止PSR同非SR组(Group)的重叠基本服务集合(Overlapping Basic Service Set,OBSS)-数据包识别(Packet Detection)的条目。用于站点实现空间复用的相应功能。
在某些实施方式中,编码前的第二PPDU的第二U-SIG的长度与第一U-SIG的信息比特数相等,且第一U-SIG的信息比特数与第二U-SIG的信息比特数均小于或等于52个信息比特,第一PPDU是网络设备在进行单用户传输时,网络设备向一个站点发送的,第二PPDU是网络设在进行多用户传输时,网络设备向多个站点发送的。如此,网络设备在SU场景下,向站点发送的第一PPDU中的第一U-SIG的信息比特数,和网络设备在MU场景下发送的第二PPDU中的第二U-SIG的信息比特数是相等的,这样便于可以缩小站点在SU场景下接收第一U-SIG的接收策略和在MU场景下接收第二U-SIG的接收策略的差异,更加便于站点在不同的场景下接收U-SIG。
在某些实施方式中,第一U-SIG和第一EHT-SIG包括标识指示字段,标识指示字段包括第一指示子字段和第二指示子字段,第一U-SIG包括第一指示子字段,第一EHT-SIG包括第二指示子字段。这样充分利用第一U-SIG和第一EHT-SIG中的空余信息比特,避免因需要指示唯一一个站点标识,而导致增加第一U-SIG或第一EHT-SIG的信息比特数。
在某些实施方式中,第一指示子字段的起始信息比特为第一U-SIG的第N个信息比特,第一U-SIG字段的前N-1个信息比特的字段的字段类型与第二U-SIG的前N-1个信息比特的字段的字段类型对应相同,N为大于1且小于35的正整数。这样,站点在SU场景下接收第一U-SIG和在MU场景下接收第二U-SIG时,前面一部分信息比特的接收策略是一样的,从而有助于缩小站点在不同场景下,接收U-SIG的接收策略之前的差异,便于站点接收并解调PPDU。
在某些实施方式中,第一U-SIG的前N-1个信息比特和第二U-SIG的前N-1个信息比特的字段的字段类型包括以下一种或多种:指示物理层版本的字段,指示上行/下行的字段,指示基本服务集颜色的字段,指示传输机会的字段,指示带宽的字段,指示PPDU格式的字段,指示空时编码的字段,指示空间复用的字段,指示保护间隔与极高吞吐率-长训练序列尺寸的字段,指示低密度奇偶校验码以外的符号部分的字段,指示前向差错控制之前填充系数的字段,指示数据分组扩展歧义的字段,指示前导码打孔的字段。
在某些实施方式中,编码前的第二PPDU的第二EHT-SIG包括指示站点标识的字段,第一EHT-SIG的在第二指示子字段之后的字段的字段类型与第二EHT-SIG在指示站点标识的字段之后的字段的字段类型相同。这样,站点在SU场景下接收第一U-SIG和在MU场景下接收第二U-SIG时,在指示站点标识之后的字段之后的信息比特的接收策略是一样的,从而有助于缩小站点在不同场景下,接收U-SIG的接收策略之前的差异,便于站点接收并解调PPDU。
在某些实施方式中,第一EHT-SIG的在第二指示子字段之后的字段与第二EHT-SIG在指示站点标识的字段之后的字段的字段类型包括以下一种或多种:指示空时流数、中间前导码周期和多普勒的字段,指示波束成形的字段,指示波束改变的字段,指示编码与调制策略和是否采用双载波调制的字段,指示编码的字段。
在某些实施方式中,第一指示子字段的起始信息比特为第一U-SIG的第N个信息比特,第二U-SIG自第N个信息比特之后的字段和第二EHT-SIG在用于指示站点标识的字段之前的字段的字段类型包括以下一种或多种:指示EHT-SIG的符号数或多用户多输入多输出的用户数的字段,指示EHT-SIG的调制编码策略和是否采用双载波调制的字段,指示极高吞吐率-长训练序列EHT-LTF的符号数、中间前导码周期和多普勒的字段,指示资源单元分配的字段,指示前导码打孔指示的字段,指示中间26-子载波资源单元(Center 26-tone Resource Allocation,Center 26-tone RU)的字段。
在某些实施方式中,指示EHT-LTF的符号数、中间前导码周期和多普勒的字段为第一字符串,其中,第一字符串所属的第一字符串组指示不存在多普勒,第一字符串指示EHT-LTF的符号数,第一字符串组中的每个字符串对应一个EHT-LTF的符号数;或指示EHT-LTF的符号数、中间前导码周期和多普勒的字段为第二字符串,其中,第二字符串所属的第二字符串组指示存在多普勒,且中间前导码周期为第一周期,第二字符串指示EHT-LTF的符号数,第二字符串组中的每个字符串对应一个EHT-LTF的符号数;或指示EHT-LTF的符号数、中间前导码周期和多普勒的字段为第三字符串,其中,第三字符串所属的第三字符串组指示存在多普勒,且中间前导码周期为第二周期,第三字符串指示EHT-LTF的符号数,第三字符串组中的每个字符串对应一个EHT-LTF的符号数。
这样,通过上述方式节省信息比特,能够使得第一EHT-SIG和第二EHT-SIG能够承载更多的信息。

处理单元,用于生成PPDU;
收发单元,用于向站点发送PPDU;其中,PPDU包括EHT-SIG,EHT-SIG包括指示EHT-LTF的符号数、中间前导码周期和多普勒的字段;指示EHT-LTF的符号数、中间前导码周期和多普勒的字段为第一字符串,其中,第一字符串所属的第一字符串组指示不存在多普勒,第一字符串指示EHT-LTF的符号数,第一字符串组中的每个字符串对应一个EHT-LTF的符号数;或指示EHT-LTF的符号数、中间前导码周期和多普勒的字段为第二字符串,其中,第二字符串所属的第二字符串组指示存在多普勒,且中间前导码周期为第一周期,第二字符串指示EHT-LTF的符号数,第二字符串组中的每个字符串对应一个EHT-LTF的符号数;或指示EHT-LTF的符号数、中间前导码周期和多普勒的字段为第三字符串,其中,第三字符串所属的第三字符串组指示存在多普勒,且中间前导码周期为第二周期,第三字符串指示EHT-LTF的符号数,第三字符串组中的每个字符串对应一个EHT-LTF的符号数。
这样,通过字符串所属的字符串组指示多普勒和中间前导码周期,而字符串本身的值指示EHT-LTF的符号数,从而可以节省用于指示多普勒和中间前导码周期的信息比特。

第一内容信道的前i-1个信息比特的字段与第二内容信道的前i-1个信息比特的字段可理解为U-SIG溢出的字段,这样在第一内容信道和第二内容信道复制传输U-SIG溢出的字段,能够增加站点正确接收的概率。

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。
本申请实施方式中的本申请实施方式中的第一EHT-SIG和第二EHT-SIG的命名是根据802.11be确定的。本申请实施方式中的第一EHT-SIG和第二EHT-SIG也名称也可以替换为其他标准版本相关SIG字段的名称。本申请实施方式中的第一EHT-SIG和第二EHT-SIG并不限于指与802.11be相关的SIG字段,本申请实施方式中的第一EHT-SIG和第二EHT-SIG可用于指任一标准版本相关的SIG字段。
图1为SU传输场景下通信系统的网络架构示意图。该通信系统100包括网络设备110和一个STA120。
网络设备110向一个STA120发送PPDU。STA120接收PPDU,并根据PPDU中的U-SIG和EHT-SIG,解调PPDU中的数据。
图2为MU传输场景下通信系统的网络架构示意图。该通信系统200包括网络设备210和多个STA220。网络设备210向多个STA220发送PPDU,STA接收PPDU,并根据PPDU中的U-SIG和EHT-SIG,解调PPDU中的数据。
无论是SU传输还是MU传输,网络设备向站点发送的PPDU中都包含U-SIG和EHT-SIG。
STA是具有IEEE 802.11的媒介接入控制和物理层功能的逻辑实体,是接入点(Access Point)和非接入点站点(non-AP STA)的统称。
表1示出了一种常规的实现中,U-SIG包含的字段和每个字段的信息比特数。表2示出了一种常规的实现中,EHT-SIG包含的字段和每个字段的信息比特数。

Figure PCTCN2021080567-appb-000003
可以看出,上述常规的实现中,在SU传输和MU传输的场景下,U-SIG中包含的字段和每个字段的信息比特数是完全相同的。同样的,在SU传输和MU传输的场景下,中包含的字段和每个字段的信息比特数是完全相同的。
请参阅图3,图3为本申请实施例的数据传输方法的流程示意图。数据传输方法包括以下步骤:
S301、网络设备生成第一PPDU。
其中,第一PPDU包括第一通用-信令字段U-SIG和第一极高吞吐率-信令字段EHT-SIG,第一U-SIG和第一EHT-SIG的信息比特数之和小于或等于78个信息比特。
S302、网络设备向STA发送编码后的第一PPDU。
可以理解,步骤S301中,网络设备生成的PPDU为编码前的PPDU。第一U-SIG和第一EHT-SIG也是编码前也是未经过编码的。信息比特数是指编码前的比特数。编码前的第一U-SIG和第一EHT-SIG的比特数之和小于或等于78个信息比特。当网络设备生成第一PPDU之后,可对PPDU进行编码之后,再向STA发送编码后的第一PPDU。
对第一PPDU编码之后,PPDU中各个字段的所占的比特数会发生变化。例如,若采用MCS0进行编码,MCS0为二进制相移键控(Binary Phase Shift Keying,BPSK)调制,1/2码率。编码后的第一PPDU中的第一U-SIG和第一EHT-SIG的比特数之和为156个比特,共3个正交频分复用(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing,OFDM)符号。在其他调制方式和其他码率时,也可以描述为等价的符号个数。
S303、STA解码第一PPDU的解码后的第一PPDU,解码后的第一PPDU包括第一U-SIG和第一EHT-SIG。
第一U-SIG和第一EHT-SIG符合以下至少一种:第一U-SIG和第一EHT-SIG中的至少一个包括标识指示字段,标识指示字段用于唯一标识一个STA;或第一U-SIG或第一EHT-SIG包括的指示PPDU格式的字段占用的信息比特大于1信息比特;或第一U-SIG或第一EHT-SIG包括指示空间复用的字段。
如此,相比于上述图2对应的常规的技术方案的在SU传输和MU传输的场景下,U-SIG 中包含的字段和每个字段的信息比特数完全相同,某些MU传输时所需要的字段,SU场景下并不需要所造成的开销浪费和不能充分利用传输资源而言,本申请实施例的技术方案,不仅能够保证第一U-SIG和第一EHT-SIG的信息比特数之和小于78信息比特,可以节约指示开销,而且在不增加指示开销的基础上,第一U-SIG和第一EHT-SIG也能够满足携带更多信息的需求。
具体地,在一个例子中,第一U-SIG和第一EHT-SIG中的至少一个包括标识指示字段,标识指示字段用于唯一标识一个STA,具体的,标识指示字段具体为关联标识(Association Identifier,AID),该AID可以唯一标识或指示一个站点。该一个站点为,网络设备所在基本服务集合(Basic Service Set,BSS)的一个站点。这样编码后的第一PPDU中包含用于指示唯一一个AID的标识指示字段,STA可以从第一U-SIG和第一EHT-SIG获知该编码后的第一PPDU是否是发给自己的,无需继续接收后续的前导码数据字段,降低STA的功耗。而且,即使第一U-SIG和第一EHT-SIG之后的数据字段没有正确接收,由于STA能够在第一U-SIG和第一EHT-SIG就确定了第一PPDU是发送给自己的,STA也可以基于后边的重传进行HARQ合并接收。再有,第三方设备无需对正在传输的设备造成干扰即可获得第一PPDU发送方和接收方,有助于第三方设备进行调度。
具体地,第一U-SIG和第一EHT-SIG中的至少一个包括标识指示字段可理解为,第一U-SIG包括标识指示字段;或者第一EHT-SIG包括标识指示字段;或者第一U-SIG和第一EHT-SIG包括标识指示字段,且第一U-SIG包括标识指示字段的一部分,第一EHT-SIG包括标识指示字段的另一部分。
标识指示字段可用于指示唯一的一个AID。例如,网络设备在SU传输的场景下,向一个STA发送该第一PPDU时,标识指示字段能够唯一指示该一个STA。
具体地,该标识指示字段的信息比特数为11信息比特,这样该标识指示字段的信息比特位能够满足唯一标识一个STA的信息比特位要求。
在另一个例子中,第一U-SIG或第一EHT-SIG包括的指示PPDU格式的字段占用的信息比特大于1信息比特。这样相比较于指示PPDU的格式仅占一个信息比特的方案,本申请实施例的指示PPDU格式的字段大于1信息比特,那么指示PPDU的格式的字段能够携带更多的信息,从而能够支持更多功能。
例如,指示PPDU format的字段还可包括指示传输场景是SU、MU且非正交频分多址(MU non-orthogonal frequency division multiple,MU non-OFDMA)的信息、或者MU OFDMA的信息,也还可以包括指示基于触发帧(trigger based,TB)的信息,还可以包括指示是否打孔的信息。
进一步地,指示PPDU的格式的字段可用于指示PPDU的格式,和指示传输方式为SU或MU传输。这样,STA能够在接收前N-1个信息比特的U-SIG时,就确定是SU传输还是MU传输,从而能够采用相应的接收策略。
在又一个例子中,第一U-SIG或第一EHT-SIG包括指示空间复用的字段,这样能够支持空间复用的功能。
具体地,该指示空间复用的字段可用于指示以下四个条目中的任意一个条目:
禁止基于参数的空间复用(parameterized spatail reuse disallow,PSR_DISALLOW)的条目,禁止空间复用传输(SR_RESTRICTED)的条目,延迟空间复用传输的条目(SR_DELAY),禁止PSR同非SR组(group)的重叠基本服务集合(overlapping basic service set,OBSS)- 数据包识别(Packet Detection)的条目。
可选地,第一EHT-SIG可以采用网络设备与STA约定的编码方式进行编码,例如,采用的编码与调制策略(modulation and coding scheme,MCS)为MSC0,不采用双载波调制(dual carrier modulation,DCM)。这样在第一U-SIG中,不包含指示EHT-SIG的MCS与DCM的字段,从而可以节省信息比特,将节省的信息比特用于承载其他重要的信息。该约定的编码方式例如可以是协议规定的编码方式。
在一些实施例中,编码前的第二PPDU的第二U-SIG的长度与第一U-SIG的信息比特数相等,且第一U-SIG的信息比特数与第二U-SIG的信息比特数均小于或等于52个信息比特,第一PPDU是网络设备在进行单用户传输时,网络设备向STA发送的,第二PPDU是网络设在进行多用户传输时,网络设备向多个STA发送的。
可见,网络设备在SU场景下,向STA发送的第一PPDU中的第一U-SIG的信息比特数,和网络设备在MU场景下发送的第二PPDU中的第二U-SIG的信息比特数是相等的,这样便于可以缩小STA在SU场景下接收第一U-SIG的接收策略和在MU场景下接收第二U-SIG的接收策略的差异,更加便于STA在不同的场景下接收U-SIG。
而且,本申请实施例中,第一U-SIG的信息比特数与第二U-SIG的信息比特数均小于或等于52个信息比特。一个OFDM符号包含52个信息比特。第一U-SIG和第二U-SIG的信息比特数越少,编码后的第一U-SIG和编码后的第二U-SIG的信息比特数也越少。这样在编码后的PPDU中,U-SIG占用的OFDM符号也会减少,能够节省无线传输资源。
在某些实施例中,第一U-SIG和EHT-SIG包括标识指示字段。标识指示字段包括第一指示子字段和第二指示子字段,第一U-SIG包括第一指示子字段,第一EHT-SIG包括第二指示子字段。这样标识指示字段被分成两部分。第一U-SIG包括其中一部分,第一EHT-SIG包括另一部分。这样充分利用第一U-SIG和第一EHT-SIG中的空余比特,避免因需要指示唯一一个AID,而导致增加第一U-SIG或第一EHT-SIG的信息比特数。
在一些可选的实施例中,第一指示子字段的起始信息比特为第一U-SIG的第N个信息比特,第一U-SIG字段的前N-1个信息比特的字段的字段类型与第二U-SIG的前N-1个信息比特的字段的字段类型对应相同,N为大于1且小于35的正整数。也即是说,第一U-SIG在第一指示子字段之前的字段,与第二U-SIG对应位置的前N-1个信息比特的字段的字段类型是相同的。这样,STA在SU场景下接收第一U-SIG和在MU场景下接收第二U-SIG时,前面一部分信息比特的接收策略是一样的,从而有助于缩小STA在不同场景下,接收U-SIG的接收策略之前的差异,便于STA接收PPDU。
在另一些可选的实施例中,编码前的第二PPDU的第二EHT-SIG包括指示AID的字段,第一EHT-SIG的在第二指示子字段之后的字段的字段类型与第二EHT-SIG在指示AID的字段之后的字段的字段类型相同。这样,STA在SU场景下接收第一U-SIG和在MU场景下接收第二U-SIG时,在指示AID之后的字段之后的信息比特的接收策略是一样的,从而有助于缩小STA在不同场景下,接收U-SIG的接收策略之前的差异,便于STA接收PPDU。
需要说明的是,前述两个可选的实施例是可以结合的。例如,第一指示子字段的起始信息比特为第一U-SIG的第N个信息比特,第一U-SIG字段的前N-1个信息比特的字段的字段类型与第二U-SIG的前N-1个信息比特的字段的字段类型对应相同,N为大于1且小于35的正整数。编码前的第二PPDU的第二EHT-SIG包括指示STA的字段,第一EHT-SIG的在第二指示子字段之后的字段的字段类型与第二EHT-SIG在指示STA的字段之后的字段的字段 类型相同。这样,STA在SU场景下接收第一U-SIG和在MU场景下接收第二U-SIG时,前面一部分信息比特和在指示STA之后的字段之后的信息比特的接收策略是一样的,从而有助于缩小STA在不同场景下,接收U-SIG的接收策略之前的差异,便于STA接收PPDU。该指示STA的字段例如可以是用于唯一标识一个STA的AID。
本申请的实施例中,网络设备发送的第一PPDU和第二PPDU均为编码后的PPDU。本申请实施例中提及的第一U-SIG、第二U-SIG、第一EHT-SIG和第二EHT-SIG均是编码前的PPDU中的字段。
具体地,第一U-SIG的前N-1个信息比特和第二U-SIG的前N-1个信息比特的字段的字段类型包括以下一种或多种:指示物理层版本(version identifier)的字段,指示上行/下行(uplink/downlink,UL/DL)的字段,指示基本服务集颜色(basic service set color,BSS color)的字段,指示传输机会(transmit opportunity,TXOP)的字段,指示带宽(bandwidth)的字段,指示PPDU格式(PPDU format)的字段,指示空时编码(space time block code,STBC)的字段,指示空间复用(spatial reuse)的字段,指示保护间隔(guard interval,GI)与极高吞吐率-长训练序列尺寸(EHT-LTF Size)的字段,指示低密度奇偶校验码以外的符号部分(LDPC extra symbol segment)的字段,指示前向差错控制之前填充系数(Pre-FEC Padding Factor)的字段,指示数据分组扩展歧义(packet extension disambiguity,PE disambiguity)的字段,或指示前导码打孔(preamble puncture)的字段。

当指示PPDU format的字段大于1个信息比特时,指示PPDU format的字段还可包括指示传输场景是SU、MU non-OFDMA、或者MU OFDMA的信息,也还可以包括指示基于触发帧(trigger based,TB)的信息,还可以包括指示是否打孔(punctured)的信息。
指示PPDU format的字段可结合指示UL/DL的字段进行指示。指示UL/DL的字段指示为UL,指示PPDU format的字段可指示SU、MU non-OFDMA、或者MU OFDMA;指示UL/DL的字段指示为UL,指示PPDU format的字段可用于指示TB或空。
或者,UL/DL的字段指示为UL,指示PPDU format的字段指示传输场景为SU无打孔(SU non-punctured)、SU打孔(SU punctured)、MU non-OFDMA、或者MU OFDMA;指示UL/DL的字段指示为UL,指示PPDU format的字段可指示传输场景为SU non-punctured或SU punctured字符串,或指示TB。

或者,指示UL/DL的字段指示为DL,00指示输场景为SU non-punctured,01指示传输场景为SU punctured,10指示传输场景为MU non-OFDMA,11指示传输场景为MU OFDMA。 或者,指示UL/DL的字段指示为UL,00指示输场景为SU non-punctured,01指示传输场景为SU punctured。10指示TB,11为保留字符串。

请参阅图4A,图4A为本申请实施例的第一U-SIG和第一EHT-SIG的结构示意图。第一U-SIG和第一EHT-SIG包括通用字段和用户字段。请参阅图4B,图4B为本申请实施例的第二U-SIG和第二EHT-SIG的结构示意图。第二U-SIG和第二EHT-SIG包括通用字段、EHT MU传输专用字段和多组用户字段。其中,EHT MU传输专用字段可包括但不限于指示EHT-SIG符号数、MCS和DCM的字段、指示RU allocation subfield的字段。指示EHT-SIG符号数,MCS,DCM的字段可以是分别指示EHT-SIG符号数的字段、指示EHT-SIG的MCS的字段,指示EHT-SIG的DCM的字段。指示RU allocation subfield的字段是可选的。在OFDMA传输的场景下,第二U-SIG和第二EHT-SIG包括该指示RU allocation subfield的字段。
图4A中第一U-SIG和第一EHT-SIG包括的通用字段,与图4B中第二U-SIG和第二EHT-SIG包括的通用字段所包含的字段类型和信息比特数是对应相同的。该通用字段可为第 一U-SIG的前N-1个信息比特的字段或第二U-SIG的前N-1个信息比特的字段。

图4B中的用户字段包括指示STA的字段、指示NSTS、midamble periodicity和doppler的字段,指示beamformed的字段,指示beam change的字段,指示MCS和DCM的字段,指示coding的字段。
由此可见,本申请实施例中,第一U-SIG和第一EHT-SIG,与第二U-SIG和第二EHT-SIG的差异主要在于第一U-SIG和第一EHT-SIG不包含EHT MU传输专用字段,这部分字段在SU场景传输下并不需要,那么本申请实施例的第一U-SIG和第一EHT-SIG结构更合理。
那么,省去了这部分SU场景传输下并不需要的字段,则第一U-SIG和第一EHT-SIG可以包括其他更有用的信息,从而能够在SU传输的场景下,充分利用传输资源。
而且,本申请中,第一U-SIG和第一EHT-SIG,与第二U-SIG和第二EHT-SIG的格式也是部分相同的,这样也能较好地控制STA在SU传输场景下接收第一U-SIG和第一EHT-SIG的接收策略,与在MU传输的场景下接收第二U-SIG和第二EHT-SIG的接收策略之间的差异。
在一个具体的例子中,第一U-SIG和第二U-SIG包含的字段可参表3和表4。表3中示出了第一U-SIG和第二U-SIG的前26个信息比特的包含的字段及每个字段占用的信息比特数。表4中示出了第一U-SIG和第二U-SIG的第27个信息比特至第52个信息比特的字段及每个字段占用的信息比特数。

如表3和表4所示,第一U-SIG的和第二U-SIG的前34个信息比特(表3中的B0-B25至表4中的B0-B7)的内容是相同的。第1个信息比特对应B0,第2个信息比特对应B1,以此类推,第8个信息比特,对应B7。第一U-SIG的和第二U-SIG的第二符号的前8个信息比特,对应第一U-SIG的和第二U-SIG的第二个符号的B0-B7。
第一U-SIG的和第二U-SIG的前34个信息比特包括以下字段:指示version identifier的字段、指示DL/UL的字段,指示BSS color的字段,指示TXOP的字段,指示Bandwidth的字段,指示PPDU format的字段,指示STBC的字段,指示spatial reuse的字段,指示GI与EHT-LTF size的字段,指示LDPC Extra Symbol Segment的字段,指示PE disambiguity的字段,指示Pre-FEC Padding Factor的字段。
其中,指示version identifier的字段的信息比特数为3信息比特,指示DL/UL的字段的信息比特数为1信息比特,指示BSS color的字段的信息比特为6信息比特,指示TXOP的 字段的信息比特为7信息比特,指示带宽字段的信息比特为6信息比特,指示PPDU format的字段的信息比特为2信息比特,指示STBC的信息比特为1信息比特,指示spatial reuse的字段的信息比特为2信息比特,指示GI与EHT-LTF size的字段的信息比特为2信息比特,指示LDPC extra symbol segment的字段的信息比特为1信息比特,指示PE disambiguity的字段的信息比特为1信息比特,指示pre-FEC padding factor的字段的信息比特为2信息比特。
第一U-SIG的和第二U-SIG的前34个信息比特这部分字段的排列顺序可按照表1中的顺序进行排列,也可以按照其他顺序进行排列,只需保持第一U-SIG和第二U-SIG在相对应的信息比特承载的字段的类型对应相同即可。
进一步地,第一U-SIG的第二个符号的第35个信息比特(表4中的B8)至第52个信息比特(表4中的B25)包括部分AID(partial AID)字段、指示循环冗余码(cyclic redundancy code,CRC)的字段和指示尾部比特(tail)的字段。指示CRC的字段用于信息的校验。指示tail的字段具体用于结束编码。
其中,partial AID字段的信息比特数为8信息比特,指示CRC的字段的信息比特为4信息比特,指示tail的字段的信息比特为6信息比特。其中,该partial AID字段可理解为上述实施例中的第一指示子字段。
第二U-SIG的第35个信息比特(表4中的B8)至第52个信息比特(表4中的B25)包括指示number of EHT-SIG symbols或MU-MIMO users的字段、指示EHT-SIG的MCS和DCM的字段、指示CRC的字段和指示tail的字段。其中,指示number of EHT-SIG symbols或MU-MIMO users的字段的信息比特数为5信息比特,指示EHT-SIG的MCS和DCM的字段的信息比特数为3信息比特,指示CRC的字段的信息比特数为4信息比特,指示tail的字段的信息比特为6信息比特。
第一EHT-SIG和第二EHT-SIG包含的字段可分别参阅表5和表6。
表5示出了第一EHT-SIG包含的字段和每个字段的信息比特数。

如表5所示,第一EHT-SIG包括partial AID字段、指示NSTS和doppler的字段、指示MCS的字段、指示DCM的字段、指示beam change的字段、指示coding的字段、指示beamformed的字段、指示CRC的字段和指示tail的字段。其中,partial AID字段的信息比特数为3信息比特,指示NSTS和doppler的字段的信息比特数为5信息比特、指示MCS的字段的信息比特数为4信息比特、指示DCM的字段的信息比特数为1信息比特、指示beam  change的字段的信息比特数为1信息比特、指示coding的字段的信息比特数为1信息比特、指示beamformed的字段的信息比特数为1信息比特、指示CRC的字段的信息比特数为1信息比特和指示tail的字段的信息比特数为6信息比特。该第一EHT-SIG中的partial AID字段可理解为上述实施例中的第二指示子字段。
第一EHT-SIG中的partial AID字段、指示NSTS和doppler的字段、指示MCS的字段、指示DCM的字段、指示beam change的字段、指示coding的字段、指示beamformed的字段可统称为用户字段(user specific field)。
可以看出,在SU传输场景下,AID的一部分在第一U-SIG,AID的另一部分在第一EHT-SIG。该AID的一部分和该AID的一部分的信息比特数之和为11信息比特。STA能够接收第一U-SIG获得AID的一部分和接收第一EHT-SIG获得AID的另一部分,并根据该AID的一部分和该AID的另一部分,得到11信息比特的AID,从而能够确定该AID唯一标识的STA。

如表6所示,第二EHT-SIG包括指示number of EHT-LTF symbols、midamble periodicity 和doppler的字段、多组user specific field、指示CRC的字段和指示tail的字段,每组user specific field包括AID,指示NSTS和doppler的字段、指示MCS的字段、指示DCM的字段、指示beam change的字段、指示coding的字段、指示beamformed的字段、指示CRC的字段和指示tail的字段。每两组user specific field,对应一个指示CRC的字段和指示tail的字段。其中,指示number of EHT-LTF symbols、midamble periodicity和doppler的字段的信息比特数为4信息比特,AID的信息比特数为11信息比特,指示NSTS和doppler的字段、指示MCS的字段、指示DCM的字段、指示beam change的字段、指示coding的字段、指示beamformed的字段、指示CRC的字段和指示tail的字段的信息比特数,均与上述第一EHT-SIG中各字段的信息比特数对应相同。第二EHT-SIG中的AID可理解为上述实施例中指示STA的字段。
由此可见,在SU传输场景下和MU传输场景下,U-SIG和EHT-SIG的格式是部分相同的,这样能够便于STA接收U-SIG和EHT-SIG。而且,也包含了一些较重要的字段,例如spatial reuse的字段。而且,指示PPDU format的字段的信息比特为2信息比特,这样该字段能够承载更多的信息。再有AID的字段的信息比特数为11信息比特,这样能够唯一标识该网络设备所在的BSS的一个STA。
例如,在SU传输场景下,AID的一部分在第一U-SIG,AID的另一部分在第一EHT-SIG。该AID的一部分和该AID的一部分的信息比特数之和为11信息比特。STA能够接收第一U-SIG获得AID的一部分和接收第一EHT-SIG获得AID的另一部分,并根据该AID的一部分和该AID的另一部分,得到11信息比特的AID,从而能够确定该AID唯一标识的STA。
在MU传输的场景下,第二EHT-SIG中包括11信息比特的AID,则STA可接收第二EHT-SIG获得该AID,从而能够确定该AID唯一标识的STA。
在正交频分复用(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing,OFDMA)传输的场景下,第二EHT-SIG可包括指示资源单元分配的字段(RU allocation subfield)的字段。在非OFDMA传输的场景下,第二EHT-SIG可包括指示preamble puncture的字段。
指示资源单元分配的字段包括一个或多个指示资源单元分配的子字段。具体地,每个STA对应一个指示资源单元分配的子字段,每个指示资源单元分配的子字段指示对应的STA的资源单元分配信息。指示资源单元分配的字段的信息比特数与网络设备发送第二PPDU的STA的数量n有关。例如,每个指示资源单元分配的子字段的信息比特数为m,则指示资源单元分配的字段的信息比特数为n*m。m例如可以是但不限于是8。
在用于传输PPDU的带宽大于20Mhz场景下,第二EHT-SIG还可包括指示Center 26-tone RU的字段,该字段的信息比特数为1-2信息比特。
指示RU allocation subfield或preamble puncture的字段,和指示Center 26-tone RU的字段可位于用户字段之前。
需要说明的是,本申请中,第一U-SIG中在标识指示字段之前字段不限于包括上述表3中第一U-SIG的第一个符号和表4中第二个符号的前8个信息比特的所有字段,也可以省去部分字段。同样的,第二U-SIG也不限于包括上述表3中第一U-SIG的第一个符号和表4中第二个符号的前8个信息比特的所有字段。每个字段的信息比特数,也不限于表3和表4所示的信息比特数。
本申请对第一U-SIG中在标识指示字段之前字段(前N-1个字段)的顺序,和第二U-SIG中前N-1个字段的顺序不做限定,只需保持第一U-SIG的前N-1个字段的字段类型与第二 U-SIG中前N-1个字段的字段类型对应相等。
本申请中,第一EHT-SIG在标识指示字段之后的字段不限于包括上述表4的第一EHT-SIG中在partial AID之后的所有字段,也可以省去部分字段。同样的,第二EHT-SIG也不限于包括上述表5中的所有用户字段,每组用户字段可以省去部分字段。
本申请对第一EHT-SIG和第二EHT-SIG的用户字段的排列顺序也不做限定。用户字段也不限于仅承载于第一EHT-SIG和第二EHT-SIG,也可以有部分用户字段承载在第一U-SIG和第二U-SIG中。
在一些实施例中,第一U-SIG、第一EHT-SIG、第二U-SIG和第二EHT-SIG中可减少一部分字段。例如可均不包含指示波束成形的字段、指示DCM的字段或指示coding的字段中的一种或多种,或者还可以减少指示AID的字段的信息比特数。这样节省出来的信息比特,用于承载其他信息。例如,可以增加指示空间复用的字段的信息比特数,或者增加指示前导码打孔的字段等。
在又一些实施例中,第一EHT-SIG中的部分字段放入第一U-SIG中,以实现在第一EHT-SIG中包括完整的标识指示字段,且保持第一U-SIG的信息比特数小于等于52信息比特,第一EHT-SIG的信息比特数小于等于26信息比特。这样在第一EHT-SIG中包括完整的标识指示字段,能够便于STA更好地接收标识指示字段。
在又一种实现方式,本申请实施例中适用于SU传输的第一PPDU,也可以只用于非前导码打孔情况下的SU传输。对于前导码打孔情况下的SU传输,可以采用本申请实施例中适用于MU传输的第二PPDU。
请参阅图5,图5为本申请另一实施例的数据传输方法的流程示意图。该数据传输方法包括以下步骤:
S501、网络设备生成PPDU;
PPDU包括EHT-SIG,该EHT-SIG中包括指示number of EHT-LTF symbols、midamble periodicity和doppler的字段。
具体地,该指示number of EHT-LTF symbols、midamble periodicity和doppler的字段的信息比特数为4信息比特。
该指示number of EHT-LTF symbols、midamble periodicity和doppler的字段可为以下几种情况中的任意一种。
指示number of EHT-LTF symbols、midamble periodicity和doppler的字段为第一字符串,其中,第一字符串所属的第一字符串组指示不存在多普勒,第一字符串指示EHT-LTF的符号数,第一字符串组中的每个字符串对应一个EHT-LTF的符号数,第一字符串可为第一子字符串组中的任一字符串;或
指示number of EHT-LTF symbols、midamble periodicity和doppler的字段为第二字符串,其中,第二字符串所属的第二字符串组指示存在多普勒,且中间前导码周期为第一周期,第二字符串指示EHT-LTF的符号数,第二字符串组中的每个字符串对应一个EHT-LTF的符号数,第二字符串可为第二子字符串组中的任一字符串;或
指示number of EHT-LTF symbols、midamble periodicity和doppler的字段为第三字符串,其中,第三字符串所属的第三字符串组指示存在多普勒,且中间前导码周期为第二周期,第三字符串指示EHT-LTF的符号数,第三字符串组中的每个字符串对应一个EHT-LTF的符号数,第三字符串可为第三子字符串组中的任一字符串。
S502、网络设备向STA发送PPDU。
对应的,STA接收网络设备发送的PPDU。
如表7所示,表7中给出了一种可能的第一字符串组、第二字符串组、第三字符串组分别与number of EHT-LTF symbols、midamble periodicity和doppler的对应关系。
Figure PCTCN2021080567-appb-000008
如表6所示,第一字符串可组可包括0-8分别对应的二进制数值,每个二进制数值对应指示一个EHT-LTF的符号数。具体地,9个二进制数值0000、0001、0010、0011、0100、0101、0110、0111、1000依次分别指示number of EHT-LTF symbols为1、2、4、6、8、10、12、14或16。第一字符串组指示不存在doppler。那么第一字符串组中的任意一个字符串能够通过所属的第一字符串组指示不存在doppler。也即,9个二进制数值0000、0001、0010、0011、0100、0101、0110、0111、1000均能够指示不存在doppler。
第二字符串组可包括9-11分别对应的二进制数值,每个二进制数值对应一个EHT-LTF的符号数。具体地,三个二进制数值1001、1010、1011分别指示number of EHT-LTF symbols为1、2、4。第二字符串组指示存在doppler,且midamble periodcity为periodcity 1。则第二字符串组中的每个字符串都能够通过所属的第二字符串组指示存在doppler,且midamble periodcity为第一周期。也即,三个二进制数值1001、1010、1011均能够指示存在doppler,且midamble periodcity为第一周期。
第三字符串组可包括12-14分别对应的二进制数值,每个二进制数值对应一个EHT-LTF的符号数。具体地,三个二进制数值1100、1101、1110分别指示number of EHT-LTF symbols为1、2、4。第三字符串组指示存在doppler,且midamble periodcity为periodcity 2。则第三字符串组中的每个字符串都能够通过所属的第三字符串组指示存在doppler,且midamble periodcity为第二周期。也即,三个二进制数值1100、1101、1110均能够指示存在doppler,且midamble periodcity为第一周期。
其中,periodcity 1和periodcity 2为不同的周期。在一个可能的实施例中,periodcity 1为10,periodcity 2为20。
4个信息比特位能够承载的二进制数值还包括1111。1111可以保留用于指示其他信息。这样的指示方式不仅能够节省信息比特数,也提供了一定的可扩展性。
这样,通过字符串所属的字符串组指示doppler和midamble periodcity,而字符串本身的值指示number of EHT-LTF symbols,相对于利用信息比特数为1信息比特的字段指示doppler,利用信息比特数为4信息比特的字段指示与number of EHT-LTF symbols和midamble periodcity的方案而言,可以省去用于指示doppler的字段,从而减少指示number of EHT-LTF symbols、midamble periodicity和doppler的字段的信息比特数。
需要说明的是,上述图5对应的数据传输方法的实施例能够与图3对应的数据传输方法的实施例结合。
具体地,在图3对应的数据传输方法的实施例的基础上,第一EHT-SIG和第二EHT-SIG中指示number of EHT-LTF symbols、midamble periodcity和doppler的字段,都可以采用上述图5对应的数据传输方法的实施例中,指示EHT-LTF的符号数、midamble periodcity和doppler的字段的指示方式。
具体地,第一EHT-SIG和第二EHT-SIG中指示number of EHT-LTF symbols、midamble periodcity和doppler的字段的信息比特数为4信息比特。该指示EHT-LTF的符号数、midamble periodcity和doppler的字段可为以下几种情况中的任意一种。
指示number of EHT-LTF symbols、midamble periodcity和doppler的字段为第一字符串,其中,第一字符串所属的第一字符串组指示不存在doppler,第一字符串指示EHT-LTF的符号数,第一字符串组中的每个字符串对应一个EHT-LTF的符号数,第一字符串可为第一子字符串组中的任一字符串;或
指示number of EHT-LTF symbols、midamble periodcity和doppler的字段为第二字符串,其中,第二字符串所属的第二字符串组指示存在doppler,且midamble periodcity为第一周期,第二字符串指示EHT-LTF的符号数,第二字符串组中的每个字符串对应一个EHT-LTF的符号数,第二字符串可为第二子字符串组中的任一字符串;或
指示number of EHT-LTF symbols、midamble periodcity和doppler的字段为第三字符串,其中,第三字符串所属的第三字符串组指示存在doppler,且midamble periodcity为第二周期,第三字符串指示EHT-LTF的符号数,第三字符串组中的每个字符串对应一个EHT-LTF的符号数,第三字符串可为第三子字符串组中的任一字符串。
这样,通过上述方式节省信息比特,能够使得第一EHT-SIG和第二EHT-SIG能够承载更多的信息。
请参阅图6,图6为本申请又一实施例的数据传输方法的流程示意图。该数据传输方法可包括以下步骤:
S601、网络设备生成PPDU。
S602、网络设备向STA发送PPDU。
网络设备用于发送PPDU的带宽大于20Mhz。带宽包括第一子带宽和第二子带宽,第一子带宽承载有PPDU的EHT-SIG的第一内容信道CC1,第二子带宽承载有EHT-SIG的第二内容信道CC2。
在一些可能的实施例中,CC1的第i个信息比特至第j个信息比特承载有用户字段,CC1的前i-1个信息比特的字段与CC2的前i-1个信息比特字段相同。i、j均为正整数,i<j;或者CC1的第i个信息比特至第j个信息比特承载有指示资源单元分配的字段和用户字段,CC1 的前i-1个信息比特的字段与CC2的前i-1个信息比特字段相同。i、j均为正整数,i<j。例如,在OFDMA传输场景下,CC1包括指示资源单元分配的字段。该指示资源单元分配的字段可仅在CC1传输,而不在CC2传输。这样能够节省传输资源。
具体地,用户字段例如可包括指示STA的字段、指示NSTS、midamble periodicity和doppler的字段,指示MCS和DCM的字段、指示coding的字段。
图7为本申请实施例的CC1和CC2的结构示意图。如图7所示,CC1和CC2的前i-1个信息比特承载有U-SIG溢出(U-SIG Overflow)字段。U-SIG Overflow字段在CC1和CC2中是复制传输的。U-SIG Overflow字段例如可包括但不限于指示number of EHT-LTF symbols、midamble periodicity和doppler的字段、指示DL/UL的字段、指示Bandwidth的字段、指示PPDU format的字段、指示STBC的字段、指示spatial reuse的字段,指示LDPC Extra Symbol Segment的字段,指示PE disambiguity的字段,指示Pre-FEC Padding Factor的字段中的一种或多种。
这样在CC1和CC2复制传输U-SIG Overflow,能够增加STA正确接收的概率。
CC1和CC2中的第i个信息比特至第j个信息比特的字段可以是相同的,也可以是不同的。下面是CC1的第i个信息比特至第j个信息比特承载有用户字段,CC1的前i-1个信息比特的字段与CC2的前i-1个信息比特字段相同的情况下,CC1和CC2中的第i个信息比特至第j个信息比特的字段可能的情况。
在一个实施例中。CC2的第i个信息比特至第j个信息比特的字段与CC1的第i个信息比特至第j个信息比特的字段相同。也即,CC2的第i个信息比特至第j个信息比特也承载有相同的用户字段。这样,用户字段在CC1和CC2上复制传输,这样能够增加STA正确接收的概率,增加可靠性。
在另一个实施例中,CC1中的第i个信息比特至第j个信息比特承载有STA的用户字段,CC2中的第i个信息比特至第j个信息比特承载包括填充字段。这样,CC1和CC2的长度相同,便于STA接收CC1和CC2。而且,STA可不读取该部分填充字段,从而能够简化STA的读取过程。
在又一个实施例中,网络设备在SU场景下向STA发送PPDU,CC1中的第i个信息比特至第j个信息比特承载有该STA的一部分用户字段,CC2中的自第i个信息比特之后的信息比特承载有该STA的另一部分用户字段。
在再一个实施例中,网络设备在MU场景下向多个STA发送PPDU,CC1中的第i个信息比特至第j个信息比特承载有这多个STA中的每个STA的一部分用户字段,CC2中的自第i个信息比特之后的信息比特承载有这多个STA中的每个STA的另一部分用户字段。
在再又一个实施例中,网络设备在MU场景下向多个STA发送PPDU,CC1中的第i个信息比特至第j个信息比特承载有这多个STA中的一部分STA的用户字段,CC2中的第i个信息比特至第j个信息比特承载有这多个STA中的另一部分STA的用户字段。
图8为本申请另一实施例的CC1和CC2的结构示意图。如图8所示,在另一些可能的实施例中,CC1的第i个信息比特至第j个信息比特承载有用户字段,CC2的第i个信息比特至第j个信息比特承载有填充字段,其中,i和j均为正整数,i<j。也即是说,用户字段仅在CC1传输,而在CC2中,并不传输用户字段。这样,STA不需要读取该部分填充字段,从而能够简化STA的读取过程。
当i>1时,关于CC1和CC2的前i-1个信息比特的字段可采用上述实施例的方式,CC1 和CC2的前i-1个信息比特的字段相同。在CC1和CC2的前i-1个信息比特传输U-SIG Overflow字段。
或者,CC1和CC2的前i-1个信息比特的字段是不同的。例如,可以仅在CC1或CC2中的一个传输U-SIG Overflow字段。
可选的,CC1或CC2的第i个信息比特至第j个信息比特还可以承载有指示资源单元分配的字段。指示资源单元分配的字段也可以仅在CC1或CC2中的一个传输。
当i=1时,CC1和CC2中不包括U-SIG Overflow字段。
图9为本申请又一实施例的CC1和CC2的结构示意图。如图9所示,在又一些可能的实施例中,CC1的用户字段与CC2的用户字段相同。这样,用户字段在CC1和CC2上复制传输,这样能够增加STA正确接收的概率,增加可靠性。
可选的,上述几种可能的实施例中的PPDU包括的EHT-SIG的格式可为图3对应的实施例中的第一EHT-SIG或第二EHT-SIG的格式。
图10为本申请再一实施例的CC1和CC2的结构示意图。如图10所示,在再一些可能的实施例中,CC1包括第一用户子字段,CC2包括第二用户子字段,第一用户的用户字段包括第一用户子字段和第二用户子字段。也即是说,在该实施例中,同一个用户的用户字段,一部分在CC1中传输,另一部分在CC2中传输。这样,能够增加用于传输用户字段的信息比特数,从而能够传输更多的信息。
上述实施例中CC1和CC2的前i-1个信息比特承载的字段,也可用于本实施例。本实施例中CC1的第一用户子字段之前的字段可为上述实施例中CC1的前i-1个信息比特承载的字段。本实施例中CC2的第二用户子字段之前的字段可为上述实施例中CC2的前i-1个信息比特承载的字段。
需要说明的是,上述几种可能的实施例可以在合理地范围内进行组合。
请参阅图11,图11为本申请实施例的网络设备的模块示意图。网络设备1100包括:
处理单元1101,用于生成第一PPDU;第一PPDU包括第一通用-信令字段U-SIG和第一极高吞吐率-信令字段EHT-SIG,第一U-SIG和第一EHT-SIG的信息比特数之和小于或等于78个信息比特;
收发单元1102,用于向站点发送编码后的第一PPDU。
第一U-SIG和第一EHT-SIG符合以下至少一项:
第一U-SIG和第一EHT-SIG中的至少一个包括标识指示字段,标识指示字段用于唯一标识一个站点;或
第一U-SIG或第一EHT-SIG包括指示PPDU格式的字段,指示PPDU格式的字段的占用的信息比特大于1信息比特;或
第一解调指示字段包括指示空间复用的字段。
如此,本申请实施例的技术方案,不仅能够保证第一U-SIG和第一EHT-SIG的信息比特数之和小于78信息比特,节约指示开销,而且,在不增加指示开销的基础上,第一U-SIG和第一EHT-SIG也能够满足携带更多信息的需求。
在一个可能的实现方式中,第一U-SIG和第一EHT-SIG中的至少一个包括标识指示字段,标识指示字段为用于唯一标识一个站点的关联标识(Association Identifier,AID)。该一个站点为,网络设备所在基本服务集合(Basic Service Set,BSS)的一个站点。这样编码后的第一 PPDU中包含的标识指示字段,能够唯一指示一个STA。STA可以从第一U-SIG和第一EHT-SIG获知该编码后的第一PPDU是否是发给自己的,无需继续接收后续的前导码数据字段,降低站点的功耗。而且,即使第一U-SIG和第一EHT-SIG之后的数据字段没有正确接收,由于站点能够在第一U-SIG和第一EHT-SIG就确定了第一PPDU是发送给自己的,站点也可以基于后边的重传进行混合自动重传请求(Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request,HARQ)合并接收。再有,第三方设备无需对正在传输的设备造成干扰即可获得第一PPDU的发送方和接收方,有助于第三方设备进行调度。
在另一个可能的实现方式中,第一U-SIG或第一EHT-SIG包括的指示PPDU格式的字段占用的信息比特大于1信息比特。这样相比较于指示PPDU的格式仅占一个信息比特的方案,本申请实施例的指示PPDU格式的字段大于1信息比特,那么指示PPDU的格式的字段能够携带更多的信息,从而能够支持更多功能。
指示PPDU的格式的字段可用于指示PPDU的格式,和指示传输方式为SU或MU传输。这样,站点能够在接收前N-1个信息比特的U-SIG时,就确定是SU传输还是MU传输,从而能够采用相应的接收策略。
在又一个可能的实现方式中,第一U-SIG或第一EHT-SIG包括指示空间复用的字段,这样能够支持空间复用的功能。
可选的,指示空间复用的字段的长度为2信息比特。该指示空间复用的字段可用于指示以下四个条目中的任意一个条目,禁止基于参数的空间复用(Parameterized Spatail reuse DISALLOW,PSR_DISALLOW)的条目,禁止空间复用传输(SR_RESTRICTED)的条目,延迟空间复用传输的条目(SR_DELAY),禁止PSR同非SR组(Group)的重叠基本服务集合(Overlapping Basic Service Set,OBSS)-数据包识别(Packet Detection)的条目。用于站点实现空间复用的相应功能。

这样,通过字符串所属的字符串组指示多普勒和中间前导码周期,而字符串本身的值指示EHT-LTF的符号数,从而可以节省用于指示多普勒和中间前导码周期的信息比特。
本实施例提供的网络设备1200的各功能单元的功能实现细节和技术效果,可参考上述方 法实施例所提供方法的相关细节描述,此处不再赘述。
请参阅图13,图13为本申请另一实施例的网络设备的模块示意图。本申请实施例还提供一种网络设备1300,包括:

第一内容信道的第i个信息比特至第j个信息比特承载有用户字段,第一内容信道的前i-1个信息比特的字段与第二内容信道的前i-1个信息比特的字段相同,i、j均为正整数,i<j;或第一内容信道的第i个信息比特至第j个信息比特承载有指示资源单元分配的字段和用户字段,第一内容信道的前i-1个信息比特的字段与第二内容信道的前i-1个信息比特的字段相同,i、j均为正整数,i<j。
第一内容信道的前i-1个信息比特的字段与第二内容信道的前i-1个信息比特的字段可理解为U-SIG溢出的字段,这样在第一内容信道和第二内容信道复制传输U-SIG溢出的字段,能够增加站点正确接收的概率。
本实施例提供的网络设备1300的各功能单元的功能实现细节和技术效果,可参考上述方法实施例所提供方法的相关细节描述,此处不再赘述。

第一内容信道的第i个信息比特至第j个信息比特承载有用户字段,第二内容信道中的第i个信息比特至第j个信息比特承载有填充字段,其中,i、j均为正整数,i<j。
这样,第一内容信道和第二内容信道长度是相同的,便于站点接收第一内容信道和第二内容信道。而且,站点可以不读取该部分填充字段,从而能够简化站点的读取过程。
本实施例提供的网络设备1400的各功能单元的功能实现细节和技术效果,可参考上述方法实施例所提供方法的相关细节描述,此处不再赘述。
请参阅图15,图15为本申请另一实施例的网络设备的模块示意图。本申请实施例还提供一种网络设备1500,包括:

第一内容信道包括第一用户子字段,第二内容信道包括第二用户子字段,第一用户的用户字段包括第一用户子字段和第二用户子字段。
也即是说,在该实施例中,同一个用户的用户字段,一部分在第一内容信道中传输,另一部分在第二内容信道中传输。这样,能够增加用于传输用户字段的信息比特数,从而能够传输更多的信息。
本实施例提供的网络设备1500的各功能单元的功能实现细节和技术效果,可参考上述方法实施例所提供方法的相关细节描述,此处不再赘述。
请参阅图16,图16为本申请另一实施例的网络设备的模块示意图。本申请实施例还提供一种网络设备1600,包括:

这样,用户字段在第一内容信道和第二内容信道上复制传输,这样能够增加站点正确接收的概率,增加可靠性。
本实施例提供的网络设备1600的各功能单元的功能实现细节和技术效果,可参考上述方法实施例所提供方法的相关细节描述,此处不再赘述。
请参阅图17,图17为本申请实施例的站点的模块示意图。本申请实施例还提供一种站点1700,包括:

处理单元1701,用于解码第一PPDU,得到解码后的第一PPDU,解码后的第一PPDU包括第一U-SIG和第一EHT-SIG,第一U-SIG和第一EHT-SIG的信息比特数之和小于或等于78个信息比特;第一U-SIG和第一EHT-SIG符合以下至少一项:
第一U-SIG和第一EHT-SIG中的至少一个包括标识指示字段,标识指示字段用于唯一标识一个站点;或
第一U-SIG或第一EHT-SIG包括指示PPDU格式的字段,指示PPDU格式的字段的占用的信息比特大于1信息比特;或
第一解调指示字段包括指示空间复用的字段。
如此,本申请实施例的技术方案,不仅能够保证第一U-SIG和第一EHT-SIG的信息比特数之和小于78信息比特,节约指示开销,而且,在不增加指示开销的基础上,第一U-SIG和第一EHT-SIG也能够满足携带更多信息的需求,站点能够从第一U-SIG和第一EHT-SIG获得更多信息。
具体地,在一个可能的实现方式中,第一U-SIG和第一EHT-SIG中的至少一个包括标识指示字段,标识指示字段为用于唯一标识一个站点的关联标识(Association Identifier,AID)。该一个站点为,网络设备所在基本服务集合(Basic Service Set,BSS)的一个站点。这样编码后的第一PPDU中包含的标识指示字段,能够唯一指示一个STA。STA可以从第一U-SIG和第一EHT-SIG获知该编码后的第一PPDU是否是发给自己的,无需继续接收后续的前导码数据字段,降低站点的功耗。而且,即使第一U-SIG和第一EHT-SIG之后的数据字段没有正确接收,由于站点能够在第一U-SIG和第一EHT-SIG就确定了第一PPDU是发送给自己的,站点也可以基于后边的重传进行混合自动重传请求(Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request,HARQ)合并接收。再有,第三方设备无需对正在传输的设备造成干扰即可获得第一PPDU的发送方和接收方,有助于第三方设备进行调度。
在另一个可能的实现方式中,第一U-SIG或第一EHT-SIG包括的指示PPDU格式的字段占用的信息比特大于1信息比特。这样相比较于指示PPDU的格式仅占一个信息比特的方案, 本申请实施例的指示PPDU格式的字段大于1信息比特,那么指示PPDU的格式的字段能够携带更多的信息,从而能够支持更多功能。
