具体实施方式
PLC网络，也叫载波通信网络，是以电力线为通信媒介，实现电力用户用电信息汇聚、传输、交互的通信网络。一种示例性的PLC通信系统可具有图1所示架构。如图1所示，电力线通信系统可包括电力线、网关设备、多个电力线通信设备以及终端等用网设备。其中，电力线除了用于传输电流，用于驱动电器外。通过网关设备与互联网连接，电力线也能用于提供互联网的接入。电力线通信设备可包括网关侧电力线通信设备(例如图1所示的第一电力线通信设备)，网关侧电力线通信设备与网关设备连接。电力线通信设备还可包括用于向终端等用网设备提供网络信号的终端侧电力线通信设备(例如图1所示的第二电力线通信设备)。以上电力线通信设备具体可以是电力猫(modern)或其他类型的电力线通信调制解调器。
在从互联网向终端发送数据时，第一电力线通信设备可从网关设备接收来自于互联网的数据。第一电力线通信设备还可将来自网关的数据调制到PLC信号上并耦合到电力线，从而可利用电力线转发数据。第二电力线通信设备可用于将电力线传输的PLC信号进行解调以获得数据，并将解调后获得的数据通过无线等方式转发给终端，从而令终端等用户设备接收到来自互联网侧的数据。同理，图1所示系统也可以实现由终端向互联网侧的数据传输。
以上电力线通信设备具体可以是电力猫或其他类型的电力线通信调制解调器，本申请不予具体限定。
目前在如图1所示第一电力线通信设备和/或第二电力线通信设备进行数据发送时，由第一电力线通信设备和/或第二电力线通信设备将待发送的数据包承载于信号帧，并将信号调制为OFDM符号序列，进一步通过第一频带信号和/或第二频带信号发送该OFDM符号序列。相应地，接收端电力线通信设备在接收电力线中通过第一频带信号和/或第二频带信号传输的OFDM符号序列后，经过解调可获得信号帧，进一步可根据信号帧解析出数据包。
在进一步描述实施方式前，先对一些术语进行说明。本申请的说明书和权利要求书及上述附图中的术语“第一”、“第二”、“第三”、“第四”等(如果存在)是用于区别类似的对象，而不必用于描述特定的顺序或先后次序。应该理解这样使用的数据在适当情况下可以互换。此外，术语“包括”和“具有”以及他们的任何变形，并不限于“仅有”的包含，例如，包含了一系列步骤或单元的过程、方法、系统、产品或设备不必限于清楚地列出的那些步骤或单元，而是可包括没有清楚地列出的或对于这些过程、方法、产品或设备固有的其它步骤或单元。
目前的电力线通讯在协议设计上根据电力线的信道特点，把2个电力线的交流电(AC)周期作为协议通信的介质访问控制(medium access control，MAC)周期。如图2所示，1个MAC周期至少包含两部分时间段，一部分是用来传输MAP帧，一部分用来传输数据，传输数据的这部分时间段称为传输时机(transmission opportunity，TXOP)。TXOP有两种类型，分别是自由抢占传输时机(contention free TXOP,CFTXOP)和分享传输时机(share TXOP,STXOP)。其中，CFTXOP是电力线通信设备竞争接入的传输时间段，STXOP是主节点统一分配的传输时间段。
一般地，一个电力线网络区域内(比如一个网关下面的网络)的各电力线通信设备在网络分布上看是对等的，都可以称为节点。一个区域内的所有节点中存在一个域主节点(domain master,DM)，非DM节点可称为普通节点。域主节点通过媒质接入规划(medium access plan,MAP)帧为域内各电力线通信设备分配传输时隙(time slot,TS)；这样，在每个MAC周期内，所有节点(包括域主节点和普通节点)在自己的时隙内收发数据。需要说明的是，域主节点和普通节点在是根据各节点在实际运行中处理功能来划分的，他们在硬件或软件结构上可能相同，也可能不同。一般情况一个节点的角色不会改变，但在不同时期会有变化，比如在一个时期内承担域主节点角色的节点在另一个时期作为了普通节点，而其他一个普通节点承接了域主节点角色。图3示出了现有技术的MAP帧结构。一条MAP帧包括MAP头字段(MAP header)和至少一个传输时机描述信息(TXOP descriptor)字段。MAP头字段主要用于描述下一个MAC周期的信息，其中下一个MAC周期一般指发送MAP帧所在的MAC周期之后的一个MAC周期。对于下一个MAC周期中的STXOP，需要有多个TXOP descriptor字段来指示各节点占用STXOP的顺序，但对于CFTXOP，由于是各节点竞争抢占，不需要指示占用顺序，所以只需一个TXOP descriptor字段来描述。额外地，MAP帧还可以包括扩展字段(extension)，用于指示TXOP时隙的信息，比如起始时间、结束时间等。
由于现有技术中STXOP的时隙分配是由域主节点的数据带宽分配(data bandwidth assign,DBA)模块计算得到后，通过MAP帧把时隙分配的顺序信息统一发送给各个普通节点。对于STXOP，区域内有多少个节点，一个MAP帧内就必须要有多少个传输时机描述信息字段来指示各节点占用STXOP的顺序。由于MAC周期长度是固定的，如果域内节点越多，MAP帧长度就越长，这样一个MAC周期内真正用来分配给各节点传输数据的传输时机就越少。
本发明实施例提供一种传输资源分配方法，可以减少MAC周期内时隙指示信息的长度，增大用来传输数据的传输时机的长度，从而提高各节点在每个MAC周期内传输业务信息的效率。
如图4所示，该传输资源分配方法包括：
步骤S403，域主节点和任一普通节点，以及任一普通节点和其他普通节点之间交互自身的参数信息；具体包括：所述域主节点广播发送自身的参数信息，接收普通节点发送的参数信息；任一普通节点也广播发送自身的参数信息，接收其他节点发送的参数信息；所述参数信息至少能指示发送所述参数信息的节点的标识和所述参数的值。
其中在本文中，域内任一普通节点是指在域主节点所在的电力线网络区域内，除域主节点外的其他已成功注册的任一节点；所有普通节点是指域内所有的普通节点。另外，下文中的域内所有节点包括域主节点和域内所有普通节点，任一节点是指域内所有节点中的任意一个节点。
作为一种例子，所述参数信息包括用三个字段分别表示节点标识、参数类型和参数值；作为另一个例子，所述参数信息包括标识节点标识和参数值，而不包括参数类型指示字段，代替地，利用参数值所在的固定比特位置来区分，比如利用约定的前几位比特位表示的值对应的是一个参数类型，后面几个比特位表示的值对应的是另一个参数类型。所述域主节点和所有普通节点保存各自获得的参数信息，形成标识节点标识、参数类型和参数值的对应关系表。
这样任一节点都能获取到域内所有节点的参数信息，每个节点都可以将所有节点对应的参数信息都保存下来。为下文描述简洁，这里将域内所有节点的参数信息称为参数信息集合，形式可以如表格1所示，
表格1
节点标识 参数类型 参数值
节点1 参数A aa
节点2 参数B bb
节点3 参数C cc
其中，所述参数信息包括比特加载表(bit loading table，简称B表)、前向纠错(FEC)误码率、重传率、信道估计窗口的最大kp值/平均kp值(其中kp值是一个OFDM符号所能承载的总比特数)、平均发送速率、平均接收速率中的一种或多种。
步骤S405，所述域主节点向域内所有普通节点广播发送策略指示信息，所述策略指示信息至少指示了一个用于计算时隙顺序的参数类别和计算方式；
所述计算方式可以是加权比例公平排序算法、轮询排序算法、按照信道质量由好到坏排序的贪心算法或其他排序算法等。
步骤S407，所述普通节点根据所述策略指示信息中指示的参数类别选取交互信息中的对应参数，利用选取的对应参数计算出所有节点占用时隙的顺序；所述域主节点也根据选取的对应参数和计算方式计算出所有节点占用时隙的顺序。
由于各个节点在步骤S403中已获取到了相同的参数信息集合，根据所述策略指示信息中指示的参数类别选取所有节点的这类参数，再根据所述策略指示信息中指示的计算方式对这类参数进行计算，获得整个域内所有节点占用时隙的顺序，就得到了自己节点是在第一个还是在哪几个节点之后占用时隙发送数据。
步骤S409，所述域主节点或所述普通节点按照计算出的顺序占用时隙发送数据。
由于每个节点都保存了域内所有节点的参数信息，每个节点获取的参数信息应该是一致，他们根据同样的参数和计算方式获得的各节点的时隙先后顺序也应该是一致的，所以各节点按照获得时隙先后顺序，在自己对应的时隙顺序发送数据不会发生冲突。
应理解，选择不同的参数类别或不同计算方式，会影响到各节点计算出的时隙顺序不同；换句话说，域主节点可以在不同时期根据需求或其他策略向所有普通节点广播发送不同策略指示信息，来调配不同的时隙顺序。作为一个具体实例，假设一个域内有三个节点：节点1、节点2和节点3，节点1作为域主节点可以在一个时期向两个普通节点广播发送策略指示信息1，如表格2所示，该策略指示信息携带的是参数类别A和计算方法A的指示，三个节点根据类别A的参数和计算方法A都能计算出时隙占用顺序是“123”。按照该计算结果，节点1先占用STXOP时隙发送数据；节点1发送完后，节点2接着占用STXOP时隙发送数据；节点2发送完后，节点3继续占用STXOP时隙发送数据。类似的，节点1作为域主节点可以在另一个时期向两个普通节点广播发送策略指示信息2。该策略指示信息携带的是参数类别B和计算方法B的指示，三个节点根据类别A的参数和计算方法A都能计算出时隙占用顺序是“132”；按照该计算结果，节点1先占用STXOP时隙发送数据；节点1发送完后，节点3接着占用STXOP时隙发送数据；节点3发送完后，节点2继续占用STXOP时隙发送数据。同理，节点1作为域主节点也可以在又一个时期向两个普通节点广播发送策略指示信息3，该策略指示信息携带的是参数类别C和计算方法C的指示，三个节点根据类别A的参数和计算方法A都能计算出时隙占用顺序是“321”,三个节点按照顺序“321”占用时隙发送数据。
表格2
策略指示信息编号 策略指示信息携带内容 各节点计算的时隙顺序
策略指示信息1 参数类别A+计算方法A 123
策略指示信息2 参数类别B+计算方法B 132
策略指示信息3 参数类别C+计算方法C 321
作为一种可选的实施方式，在步骤S403之前或者在S403之后，还包括如下步骤S401，
步骤S401，所述域主节点向域内所有普通节点广播发送节点列表消息，所述节点列表消息包括域主节点和域内所有普通节点的节点标识集合；所述节点标识集合包括能唯一标识域内各节点的信息，例如设备标识码(ID)或MAC地址等信息。
这样，在步骤S403后，每个节点就可以根据接收到的节点列表消息来检验是否收集到了所有节点的参数信息。如果缺少了某个节点K的信息，可以广播发送消息指示节点K重新发送他的参数信息。
可选地，本实施例方法还进一步包括，当有域内已注册的普通节点离开域的时候，或者有新的普通节点在域内成功注册的时候，所述域主节点更新本地保存的域内节点列表，并向域内所有普通节点广播发送所述更新后的节点列表。
利用本发明实施例，MAP帧里描述一个STXOP就不需要携带指示每个节点时隙顺序的信息，而只用携带策略指示信息，减少了MAP帧的长度，就相应减少了MAP帧占用MAC周期的长度，增大MAC周期内用来传输数据的传输时机的长度，从而提高各节点在每个MAC周期内传输业务信息的效率。如果域内节点越多，MAP帧长度减少的比例就越大，各节点在每个MAC周期内传输业务信息的效率提升的越明显。进一步地，如果STXOP在未来一些周期内时隙顺序不会改变的话，可以不重复发送MAP帧，直到需要调整各节点的时序顺序的时候，再发送 MAP帧，进一步减少MAP占用MAC周期的长度和提高各节点在每个MAC周期内传输业务信息的效率。
作为一个具体实例，假如有3个节点，一个MAC周期里有4个STXOP，现有技术中的一个MAP帧(简称老MAP帧)里描述3个节点的时隙信息的TXOP descriptor字段需要96个字节，每个TXOP descriptor带3个TXOP extension(各占1个字节)，应用本发明实施例后一个MAP帧(简称新MAP帧)携带的策略指示信息只需要48个字节(即只需一个TXOP descriptor+一个TXOP extension)，缩减了48个字节。而老MAP帧的长度大概有123个字节，其中帧头占22个字节，辅助信息至少占5个字节，本发明实施例将老MAP帧减少了48个字节，即减少39％的长度。假设发送老MAP帧需要1ms，那么发送本发明实施例中发送每个MAP帧就只需要大概0.61ms，在每个MAC周期内就能给各节点多分配0.39ms的传输数据的时隙。
