Description

一种数据传输方法、接入点及站点 技术领域
本发明涉及技术领域通信领域,特别是涉及一种数据传输方法、接入点及站点。
背景技术
为了满足大系统吞吐量的要求,当前通信系统强制所有站点(station,STA)支持80MHz传输带宽模式。通过使用大带宽,站点可以在较短时间内完成数据的传输,以此节省数据传输时间,降低数据收发的功率。然而,当上下行数据传输需求较低时,用于传输数据的大带宽在绝大多数时间都处于空闲状态,此时,站点持续侦听信道,以便当上下行有数据传输需求时,站点根据侦听到的信道状态确定是否能够进行数据传输,其中信道状态包括信道空闲和信道繁忙,而持续侦听较宽信道的过程无疑会大大提高站点的功耗,同时,站点抗干扰能力也弱。
基于此,现有技术中引入了一种站点在工作中动态调节带宽的方法,具体的,当上下行数据传输需求较低时,站点将自身支持的80MHz传输带宽模式切换为带宽功率节省模式(Bandwidth Power Saving Mode,BW PS mode),并通过发送运行模式告知帧(Operating Mode Notification frame),告知接入点自身当前所支持的带宽模式,其中,带宽功率节省模式指的是站点的可用带宽小于80MHz(例如可用带宽为20MHz、40MHz或60MHz)的带宽模式,且带宽功率节省模式下,站点传输数据的信道包括主信道。
虽然上述方法能够在上下行数据传输需求较低时,在一定程度上降低站点对信道的侦听功耗,但是,当处于带宽功率节省模式的接入点与站点之间需要传输数据时,由于带宽功率节省模式的站点占用了主信道,所以在与占用主信道的站点通信期间,接入点仅能与这一个站点传输数据,并且,接入点只能使用此站点的工作信道为其传输数据,因为此站点为带宽功率节省模式,所以,对于接入点而言,此站点的工作信道只占用了接入 点可用带宽资源的一部分,此站点的工作信道之外的剩余的带宽资源将被浪费,从而降低了接入点的资源利用率。

具体实施方式
本申请的方案可以应用于无线局域网(Wireless Local Area Network,WLAN),目前WLAN采用的标准为电气和电子工程师协会(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers,IEEE)802.11系列。WLAN可以包括多个基本服务集(Basic Service Set,BSS),基本服务集中的网 络节点为站点(Station,STA)。
站点包括接入点类的站点,也称之为接入点(Access Point,AP)和非接入点类的站点(None Access Point Station,Non-AP STA)。每个基本服务集可以包含一个AP和多个关联于该AP的Non-AP STA。
AP主要部署于家庭、大楼内部以及园区内部,典型覆盖半径为几十米至上百米,当然,也可以部署于户外。AP相当于一个连接有线网和无线网的桥梁,其主要作用是将各个无线网络客户端连接到一起,然后将无线网络接入以太网。具体地,AP可以是带有无线保真(Wireless Fidelity,WiFi)芯片的终端设备或者网络设备。可选地,AP可以为支持802.11ax制式的设备,进一步可选地,该AP可以为支持802.11ac、802.11n、802.11g、802.11b及802.11a等多种WLAN制式的设备。
非接入点类的站点可以是无线通讯芯片、无线传感器或无线通信终端。例如:支持WiFi通讯功能的移动电话、支持WiFi通讯功能的平板电脑、支持WiFi通讯功能的机顶盒、支持WiFi通讯功能的智能电视、支持WiFi通讯功能的智能可穿戴设备、支持WiFi通讯功能的车载通信设备和支持WiFi通讯功能的计算机。可选地,站点可以支持802.11ax制式,进一步可选地,该站点支持802.11ac、802.11n、802.11g、802.11b及802.11a等多种WLAN制式。

下面将结合本发明实施例中的附图,对本发明实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述,显然,所描述的实施例仅是本发明一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本发明中的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在没 有做出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其它实施例,都属于本发明保护的范围。
实施例1
本申请实施例提供一种信道传输方法,如图2所示,包括以下步骤:
S201、接入点利用第一站点的工作信道与所述第一站点进行数据传输,所述第一站点启用带宽功率节省模式,所述工作信道为所述第一站点的可用信道;
S202、在所述接入点利用第一站点的工作信道与所述第一站点进行数据传输的情况下,所述接入点利用第二站点的工作信道,与第二站点进行数据传输,所述第一站点的工作信道与所述第二站点的工作信道构成所述接入点的可用信道的全部或一部分。本发明中所指的数据包括来自MAC层以上的数据,MAC层的管理帧和控制帧中的一个或多个的组合(汇聚)。
本实施例中的第一站点启用带宽功率节省模式的站点,所述带宽功率节省模式是指可用最大传输带宽小于系统的可用传输带宽,例如,系统的传输带宽为80MHz,则带宽功率节省模式传输带宽可以为20MHz、40MHz或60MHz,当然,并不限于此。也就是说,启动带宽功率节省模式的站点的可用传输带宽小于系统的可用传输带宽。
本实施例中的数据传输包括数据的发送与接收,相应的,接入点利用工作信道与第一站点进行数据传输包括接入点利用工作信道接收第一站点发送的上行数据及接入点利用工作信道向第一站点发送下行数据两种情况,同理,接入点利用剩余信道与第二站点进行数据传输也包括接入点利用剩余信道接收第二站点发送的上行数据及接入点利用剩余信道向第二站点发送下行数据这两种情况,具体的上行或下行传输过程将在下面的实施例中进行说明。
本实施例中,第二站点的数量可以为一个或多个,在第二站点的数量为多个的情况下,当第一站点的工作信道与第二站点的工作信道构成接入点的可用信道的一部分时,接入点在为第一站点和一个第二站点传输数据的同时,还能同时利用其它信道为其它第二站点进行数据传输。第二站点的个数可以根据所述系统信道的带宽所能传输数据量的大小和接入点与站 点进行传输的数据量的大小共同决定。
本实施例中,第二站点既可以启用带宽功率节省模式,也可以不启用带宽功率节省模式。
本发明实施例所提供的数据传输方法,接入点在利用第一站点的工作信道与处于带宽功率节省模式的第一站点进行数据传输的情况下,利用第二站点的工作信道与第二站点进行数据传输,即第二站点的工作信道为第一站点的工作信道之外的其它信道,所以,即使第一站点的工作信道中包括主信道,接入点也还是能通过其它信道与第二站点进行数据传输,进一步地,对于接入点而言,虽然第一站点的工作信道只占用了其可用带宽资源的一部分,但是,其仍然能够利用其它信道与第二站点进行数据传输,从而使得接入点除第一站点的工作信道之外的剩余带宽资源也能同时被用于数据传输,以此提高了接入点的资源利用率。
实施例2
本申请实施例提供的又一种信道传输方法,在该实施例中,重点从上行传输的角度继续说明,具体的,如图3所示,包括以下步骤:
S301、接入点向第一站点发送第一信令,第一信令用于指示第一站点启用带宽功率节省模式、以及第一站点可用的第一信道集合,第一信道集合中的信道的总带宽小于所述接入点的可用信道的带宽;
当站点的电池电量较低、应用层指定站点启用带宽功率节省模式、上下行数据量减小或多个信道上干扰较大,仅有部分信道条件较好时,接入点可以发起控制站点启用带宽功率节省模式,启用带宽功率节省模式的站点只在其与接入点约定的信道集合(如第一信道集合)上侦听和\或传输数据。
本实施例中,第一信令可以携带第一站点的标识,第一站点的标识与第一信道集合一一对应,当第一站点接收到第一信令后,根据第一站点的标识与第一信道集合的对应关系及自身的标识,确定第一信令指示的第一信道集合。
需要指出的是,当由接入点控制第一站点启用带宽功率节省模式时,接入点无需得到第一站点的ACK确认,就可以认为第一站点已经启用带宽 功率节省模式,并通过第一站点的工作信道与接入点进行数据传输,这是因为,即使第一站点未按照接入点的指示成功启用带宽功率节省模式,那么接入点与第一站点之间也能正常进行数据传输。
S302、接入点控制第二站点启用带宽功率节省模式,具体地,控制方式可以参见S301;
也就是说,本实施例中的第二站点也为带宽功率节省模式下的站点,本实施例中,接入点同时为带宽功率节省模式下的两个站点进行数据传输。
如上一实施例所述,当接入点通过其它信道同时与其它站点进行数据传输时,若其它站点为带宽功率节省模式下的站点,则此时第一信令可以同时携带其它站点的标识,若其它站点为多个站点且多个站点属于组站点,则此时第一信令可以同时携带组站点的组地址,当然,第一信令还可以携广播地址,该广播地址对应接入点下所有的站点。
需要说明的是,步骤S301与步骤S302之间并不限定先后执行顺序,即步骤S301可以在步骤S302之前进行,也可以在步骤S302之后进行。
S303、接入点向第一站点发送用于指示第一站点的工作信道的第一触发帧、及向第二站点发送用于指示所述第二站点的工作信道的第二触发帧;
第一触发帧用于触发第一站点以预设发送时刻为起始时间发送数据,第二触发帧用于触发所述第二站点以预设发送时刻为起始时间发送数据,第一站点的工作信道为第一信道集合的子集,第一站点的工作信道与第二站点的工作信道构成接入点可用带宽的一部分或全部。
本实施例中的触发帧用于触发站点发送上行数据,且其通过向第一站点和第二站点指示数据发送的起始时间,实现了上行数据的发送在时间上的对齐。
本实施例中,接入点为第一站点分配的第一信道集合和接入点为第二站点分配的信道集合可以相同,也可以不同。然而,无论两个信道集合是否相同,在使用FDMA方式(频分多址接入,例如OFDMA方式)时,为了避免两个站点发送数据时发生碰撞,基于两个信道集合的工作信道需要是无重叠的。在使用其他方式(例如MU-MIMO)时,两者的信道可以重叠。
本实施例中信道集合的子集包括信道集合或信道集合的一部分。
S304、第一站点利用第一站点的工作信道以预设发送时刻为起始时间 向接入点发送数据;
S305、第二站点利用第二站点的工作信道以预设发送时刻为起始时间向接入点发送数据;
需要说明的是,步骤S304与步骤S305之间并不限定先后执行顺序,即步骤S304可以在步骤S305之前进行,也可以在步骤S305之后进行。
S306、接入点向带宽功率节省模式的站点发送更新指令,更新指令用于指示接入点为带宽功率节省模式下的站点分配的更新后的信道集合,更新后的信道集合中的信道的总的带宽小于接入点的可用信道的带宽,更新后的信道集合与带宽功率节省模式下的站点更新前的信道集合不同。
本实施例中,更新指令用于更新站点的功率节省模式。无论是第一站点还是第二站点,更新前的信道集合与更新后的信道集合不同,具体的,包括:
当更新前的信道集合中的信道的总带宽与更新后的信道集合中的信道的总带宽不同时,更新前的信道集合中的信道与更新后的信道集合中的信道完全不同;
和/或,更新前的信道集合中的信道与更新后的信道集合中的信道有重叠;
和/或,更新前的信道集合中的信道与更新后的信道集合中的信道完全相同。
当更新前的信道集合中的信道的总带宽与更新后的信道集合中的信道的总带宽相同时,更新前的信道集合中的信道与更新后的信道集合中的信道完全不同;
和/或,更新前的信道集合中的信道与更新后的信道集合中的信道有重叠。
需要说明的是,本实施例中的A与B有重叠仅指A与B有交集。
对于上述更新前后信道集合的情况,举例说明:
假设接入点的可用带宽为80MHz,共可分为四个信道,分别为信道1、信道2、信道3和信道4,信道1又可分为子信道1及子信道2,每个信道占用的带宽为20MHz,每个子信道占用的带宽为10MHz;
若更新前的信道集合中的信道为信道1,当更新前的信道集合对应的 信道带宽与更新后的信道集合对应的信道带宽不同时,更新后的信道集合可以为信道3和信道4,此为信道完全不同的情况;
更新后的信道集合也可以为信道1和信道2,此时属于信道有重叠,重叠信道为信道2;
更新后的信道集合也可以为信道1的子信道1,此为信道完全相同(即都是信道1)的情况。
假设更新前的信道集合为信道1和信道2;
当更新前的信道集合对应的信道带宽与更新后的信道集合对应的信道带宽相同时,更新后的信道集合可以为信道3和信道4;和/或,
更新后的信道集合可以为信道2和信道3,重叠信道为信道2。
本实施例中,第一站点和第二站点均为带宽功率节省模式的站点,接入点向第一站点和第二站点发送触发帧,触发帧用于触发第一站点和第二站点以预设时间为起始时间发送数据,以此实现了第一站点和第二站点上行发送数据在时间上的对齐,并且,由于第一站点的工作信道与第二站点的工作信道不重叠,所以,本实施例中接入点能够同时控制两个带宽功率节省模式的站点的上行数据的混合发送,提高了接入点的资源利用率。
在预定第一信道集合后,第一站点可与接入点间进行多次数据发送和多次数据接收。
从上述步骤可以看出,本实施例中,接入点在与带宽功率节省模式的站点进行通信的情况下,还可以利用剩余信道,与其它站点进行通信,因此,能够提高接入点的资源利用率。
实施例3
本申请实施例提供的又一种信道传输方法,在该实施例中,重点从下行传输的角度进行说明,具体的,如图4所示,该方法包括:
S401、第一站点向接入点发送请求,所述请求携带第四信道集合,第四信道集合为启用功率节省模式的站点向接入点申请的可用信道,第四信道集合中的信道的总带宽小于接入点的可用信道的带宽;
其中,可用信道可以使用信道的编号,或者相对当前接入点的主信道 的位置偏移的指示来,或者信道的中心频率和带宽来表示。
这里,需要说明的是,站点向接入点请求的信道集合与接入点接收到的请求中携带的信道集合相同,关于本申请中使用的“第二信道集合”、“第三信道集合”及“第四信道集合”的表述,“第X”仅为描述清楚表示,在接入点和站点进行交互的场景下,发送方发送的信道集合即为接收方接收到的信道集合。
S402、接入点发送请求响应,请求响应中携带第五信道集合,第五信道集合中的信道的总带宽小于接入点的可用信道的带宽;
本实施例中第一站点启用功率节省模式的过程由第一站点自身发起,此时,第一站点只有接收到接入点返回对所述请求的响应后,才能按照所述响应中携带的信道集合与接入点进行数据传输。
本实施例中,虽然第一站点在请求中请求的是第四信道集合,基于负载均衡的考虑,接入点响应给第一站点的信道集合却不一定是第四信道集合,即此时第四信道集合与第五信道集合不同,如,当第四信道集合对应的信道上负荷太重,同时第五信道集合对应的信道上负荷较轻时,接入点响应给第一站点的信道集合为第五信道集合。
当然,第一站点请求的第四信道集合满足接入点对负载均衡的考虑时,接入点响应给第一站点的第五信道集合与第四信道集合相同。也就是说,此时接入点认可第一站点申请的第四信道集合,接入点反馈的请求响应中的第五信道集合即为第四信道集合。
S403、接入点利用第一站点的工作信道向第一站点发送物理层协议数据单元PPDU;
本实施例中,如图5所示,所述PPDU包括业务数据、用于指示第一站点的数据接收方式的指示信令(信令A和信令B)、用于指示第一站点的工作信道的前导,以及用于指示第一站点的数据发送资源指示的控制信令。其中,具体地,前导可以为兼容前导,在不同的20MHz信到内,可以传不同的信令B信息。
接入点向第一站点发送的、用于指示第一站点的工作信道的前导所包含的第一站点的工作信道指示信息在第一信道集合内发送。接入点所发送的部分前导信号可以在第一信道集合外,用以服务在第一信道集合外传输 的用户。
S404、接入点利用第二站点的工作信道向第二站点发送PPDU;
在第一站点占用主信道的情况下,为了使得第二站点能够接收到控制信息,具体地,如图6所示,发送给第二站点的PPDU包括业务数据、用于指示第二站点的数据接收方式的指示信令以及用于指示第二站点的工作信道的前导,其中,指示信息即信标帧可以携带在第二站点的工作信道。
具体地,本实施例中,第一站点的工作信道为第一站点在带宽功率节省模式下的信道集合的子集;当第二站点启用带宽功率节省模式时,第二站点的工作信道为第二站点在带宽功率节省模式下的信道集合的子集,第一站点的工作信道与第二站点的工作信道不重叠。
S405、第一站点向接入点发送更新请求,更新请求携带第七信道集合,第七信道集合为更新后的所述带宽功率节省的站点向接入点申请的信道集合,第七信道集合中的信道的总带宽小于接入点的可用信道的带宽,第七信道集合与带宽功率节省模式下的站点更新之前的信道集合不同;
当然,第二站点也可以请求更新,这里不再赘述。
S406、接入点发送响应于更新请求的指令,指令用于指示将站点的信道集合修改为第七信道集合。
需要说明的是,步骤S403与步骤S404之间并不限定先后执行顺序,即步骤S403可以在步骤S404之前进行,也可以在步骤S404之后进行。
另外,虽然本实施例中,对第一站点的带宽功率节省模式的更新是由第一站点发起的,但是对于更新前后信道集合之间的关系可以参照上一实施例。

需要说明的是,对于图3和图4所示的数据传输方法,图3中,接入点控制站点启用带宽功率节省模式(S301及S302),而图4中,站点主动 要求启用带宽功率节省模式(S401及S402),这两种方式可以互相参见,并不限定某种方式一定应用在上述实施例所述的上行或下行场景中;同样地,站点带宽功率节省模式的更新可以由接入点发起(S306),也可以由站点主动发起(S405),这两种方式可以互相参见,并不限定某种方式一定应用在上述实施例所述的上行或下行场景中。

带宽功率节省模式启用单元,用于启用带宽功率节省模式;
其中,启用所述带宽功率节省模式的所述站点利用工作信道,与接入点进行数据传输,所述工作信道为所述带宽功率节省模式下所述站点的可用信道,所述接入点用于在与所述站点进行数据传输的情况下,利用第二站点的工作信道,与第二站点进行数据传输,所述第一站点的工作信道与所述第二站点的工作信道构成所述接入点的可用信道的全部或一部分。。
