背景技术
当前WiFi系统的无线组网方案，是中继(repeater)模式，并且采用了虚拟接入点(soft access point，SoftAP)的双实体方案。一个中继有两个物理实体，分别是终端(station，STA)角色和SoftAP角色。STA的媒体存取控制(media access control，MAC)地址和SoftAP的MAC地址不同。
当作为STA角色时，只能接收上一级路由的数据，回传时采用的是单用户(singleuser，SU)帧类型或者基于触发的(triggerbased，TB)帧。当作为AP的角色时，只能与下一级的STA或SoftAP传输数据。两个实体在同频同信道情况下，不能同时工作。
这样的组网结构，需要占用两次空口的时间，降低了整个网络的容量。而且中继需要开辟两个物理实体，对于芯片的面积和功耗都不是很友好。

当前WiFi系统的无线组网方案，是中继模式，并且采用了SoftAP的双实体方案。一个中继有两个物理实体，分别是STA角色和SoftAP角色。STA的MAC地址和SoftAP的MAC地址不同。
当作为STA角色时，只能接收上一级路由的数据，回传时只能使用单用户(single user，SU)帧类型或者基于触发的(trigger based，TB)帧。当作为AP的角色时，只能与下一级的STA或SoftAP传输数据。两个实体在同频同信道情况下，不能同时工作。
这样的组网结构，需要占用两次空口的时间，降低了整个网络的容量。而且中继需要开辟两个物理实体，对于芯片的面积和功耗都不是很友好。
本申请针对现有的双实体组网方案的缺点，提出了一种全新的单实体组网方案。该方案的每个实体只需要一个MAC地址，且实体的角色可以自由切换，通过父节点给与子节点分配连接识别(association identifier，AID)码，保证AID不冲突。同时单实体的AP可以接收正交频分多址接入(orthogonal frequency division multiple access，OFDMA)帧或者OFDMA和多用户多输入多输出(multi-user multiple-input multiple-output，MUMIMO)的混合帧，从而提高了网络的吞吐量和转发效率，进而提升系统容量。
图1为本申请实施例提供的一种网络结构的示意图。在图1所示的树状结构的无线局域网中，可以包括一个路由器(router)、与该路由器关联的一个或者多个SoftAP(也可以称为AP，以下以AP为例进行说明)，以及与该AP关联的一个或多个STA和/或一个或者多个AP。具体地，如图1所示，位于层1的路由器下关联位于层2的AP1和AP4，对于AP1来说，其下关联STA1和STA2，同时关联位于层3的AP2和AP3。AP2下关联STA5和STA6，AP3下关联STA3和STA4。图1所提及的AP，既可以充当AP的角色，也可以充当STA的角色。相同级别的AP不能相互连接组网，只有不同级别的AP才可以相互连接，同时，对于AP，只能与一个上一级的AP连接。即位于层2的AP1和AP4之间不相互连接，位于层3的AP2和AP3之间不相互连接，同时由于AP2与AP1已经相互连接，因此AP2不与AP4连接。同样的，AP3不与AP4连接。对于STA，只能与一个AP连接，不能同时连接多个AP。即STA1连接AP1之后，不可以与其他AP再连接。类似的，对于STA2只能连接AP1，STA5和STA6只能连接AP2，STA3和STA4只能连接AP3。那么，通过该限制，整个无线网格(Mesh)网络就组成可一个树状结构的网络。
应理解，在本申请的网络架构中，中继只有一个实体，即可以充当AP角色，也可以充当STA角色，并在不同角色之间可以实现灵活切换。
从图1中可以看出，路由器属于层1(level 1)，AP1属于层2(level 2)，AP2和AP3属于层3(level 3)。
应理解，图1只是示例性的，不应该对本申请适用的无线局域网的网络架构产生限制，例如，该网络架构还可以包括更多的路由器，每个路由器下关联更多的SoftAP，同时每个SoftAP下关联更多的STA，或者，部分网络架构还可以不包括STA等，本申请实施例对此不做限定。

可以理解，本申请实施例中的一些可选的特征，在某些场景下，可以不依赖于其他特征，比如其当前所基于的方案，而独立实施，解决相应的技术问题，达到相应的效果，也可以在某些场景下，依据需求与其他特征进行结合。相应的，本申请实施例中给出的装置也可以相应的实现这些特征或功能，在此不予赘述。
为便于理解本申请所提供的通信的方法，首先结合附图详细说明本申请所提供的通信方法。其中，发送设备与接收设备进行数据传输可以包括发送设备为接收设备发送下行数据(下行通信)，以及接收设备向发送设备发送上行数据(上行通信)，即本申请提供的通信方法适用于上行和下行的数据传输。以下，以一个发送设备与N个接收设备之间的交互过程为例详细说明本申请实施例提供的通信方法。
下面将结合附图详细说明本申请提供的技术方案。
图2为本申请实施例提供的一种通信方法200的示意性流程交互图。该方法可以应用在图1所述的场景中。作为示例，图2中的发送设备可以为路由器，对应的接收设备为AP。或者，发送设备也可以为AP，对应的接收设备为AP或者STA。具体地，该方法包括以下多个步骤。
S201，发送设备向N个接收设备中的M个接收设备发送M个第一标识。
具体地，在本实施例中，发送设备与N个接收设备相连，N个接收设备之间不存在连接关系。当N个接收设备中的M个接收设备需要与发送设备进行通信时，发送设备向M个接收设备发送对应于M个接收设备的第一标识。其中，M为小于或者等于N的整数。
应理解，该第一标识为发送设备与接收设备进行数据传输时的唯一标识。
在一种可实现的方式中，该第一标识为连接识别(association identifier，AID)码。通过AID码，可以使得物理层不需要解调，实现数据的传输效率。
S202，发送设备通过数据帧与M个接收设备传输数据。
具体地，当发送设备与M个接收设备进行下行数据传输时，发送设备通过数据帧向M个接收设备发送下行数据。当发送设备与M个接收设备进行上行数据传输时，发送设备通过数据帧接收来自M个接收设备发送的上行数据。
可选地，该数据帧为频分复用数据帧。
在一种可实现的方式中，本申请实施例中的数据帧的帧格式包括但不限于正交频分多址接入OFDMA帧格式和OFDMA与多用户多输入多输出MUMIMO结合的帧格式。通过频分复用帧格式的数据帧，能够提升网络的吞吐量。
基于本申请实施例提供的通信方法，通过发送设备给接收设备分配第一标识，可以保证系统中所有设备的第一标识不冲突。同时在本申请的Mesh网络中，为单实体节点，每个设备只对应于一个标识，用于数据传输，无需多套MAC地址和发射接收机，从而实现提升转发效率的目的。同时基于数据帧可以实现发送设备到接收设备的双向数据传输，因此能够达到提升网络的吞吐量和提升系统容量的效果。
可选地，在S202之前，该方法还包括M个接收设备的接入过程和身份认证过程，具体地，包括如下多个步骤。
S203，发送设备向M个接收设备发送第二标识。
具体地，该第二标识为发送设备对应的标识，即当M个接收设备向接收设备发送上行数据时，是通过该第二标识确定发送设备的。当M个接收设备接收到发送设备对应的第二标识后，可通过该第二标识确定连接的发送设备。
在一种可实现的方式中，该第二标识是通过发送设备发送信标(beacon)广播管理帧发送的，即发送设备发送的信标广播管理帧中包括该第二标识。
S204，M个接收设备向发送设备发送接入请求。
具体地，M个接收设备向发送设备发送探测请求帧，用于发送接入请求。
S205，发送设备向M个接收设备发送接入响应。
具体地，发送设备向M个接收设备发送接入响应，对M个接收设备的接入请求进行应答。
S206，发送设备向M个接收设备发送鉴权请求。
具体地，发送设备对M个接收设备请求进行身份认证(Authentication)。
S207，M个接收设备向发送设备发送鉴权确认。
具体地，M个接收设备对发送设备的身份认证请求作出回应。
S208，M个接收设备向发送设备发送第一标识分配请求。
具体地，当M个接收设备通过S203-S207完成接入后，M个接收设备分别向发送设备发送第一标识分配请求，M个第一标识分配请求用于向发送设备分别请求对应于接收设备的第一标识。
S209，发送设备为M个接收设备分配M个第一标识。
具体地，发送设备接收到M个接收设备的第一标识分配请求后，可随机生成M个不同的第一标识，例如AID码，并将该M个AID码发送给每个接收设备。
在一种可实现的方式中，发送设备将M个接收设备与M个标识的对应关系发送给M个接收设备中的每一个接收设备。其中，该对应关系可以是例如表格等的形式，本申请不作限定。
在另一种可实现的方式中，发送设备将M个标识发送给每一个接收设备，并发送接收设备与其对应的第一标识的对应关系。
需要说明的是，上述S203-S207仅作为可能方式进行简单说明，具体地详细说明可参考相关协议中的WIFI认证过程，此处不再赘述。
S210，M个接收设备将M个MAC地址上报给发送设备。
接下来，结合图3至图7具体说明本申请提供的通信方法。
图3为本申请实施例提供的第一种网络关联示意图。在图3所示的Mesh网络中，路由器和AP1进行数据传输时，需要路由器为AP1的分配一个AID，当有数据发送时，使用该AID进行用户匹配。也就是说，在图3所示的网络关联示意图中，发送设备为路由器，接收设备为AP1。
图4为本申请实施例提供的第二种网络关联示意图。如图4所示，AP1与AP2和AP3关联，同时与STA1和STA2关联。具体地，AP1可以通过信标管理帧向AP2、AP3、Sta1和Sta2中的至少一个来发送自己的AID。并为AP2、AP3、Sta1和Sta2中的至少一个分配AID，当AP2、AP3、Sta1和Sta2中的至少一个获取的AID的时，可通过获取到的对应的AID码与AP1进行通信。应理解，AP2、AP3、Sta1和Sta2的AID码是通过AP1分配的，因此，不会出现Sta1、Sta2、AP2和AP3的AID相互冲突的情况。
图5为本申请实施例提供的第一种数据通信结构示意图。
应理解，在本申请提供的Mesh网络中的AP，既可以发送正交频分多址接入帧，也可以接收OFDMA帧。即入图5所示，当路由器需要向AP1和AP4发送数据时，可以通过OFDMA帧同时给AP1和AP4发送数据。
图6为本申请实施例提供的第二种数据通信结构示意图。具体地，如图6所示，当AP1有缓存的数据需要回传时，可以利用OFDMA帧同时给上一级AP(即路由器)，关联在自身AP的Sta(包括Sta1和Sta2中的至少一个)和下一级AP(即AP2和AP3中的至少一个)同时发送数据。也就是说，AP1可以利用OFDMA帧，在同一时间，回传要发送给路由器的缓存数据，同时可以把路由器要发送给Sta1和/或Sta2数据转发给Sta1和/或Sta2，同样可以在同一时间将路由器要发送给AP2和/或AP3的数据转发给AP2和/或AP3。
图7为本申请实施例提供的第三种数据通信结构示意图。具体地，如图7所示，当AP1有缓存的数据需要回传时，可以不限于图6中所示的使用单个传输频率的情况，可以使用多连接技术，例如在2.4GHz band和5GHz band两个频率上同时使用OFDMA帧发送数据。两个频率上的数据可以存在关联，也可以是独立数据。如果是独立数据，可以通过接收端在更高层实现数据级联，从而实现多连接技术，增加数据的可靠性和吞吐量。
