Description

A kind of access associated based on many BSS and transmission method
Technical field
The present invention relates to communication technical field, the especially a kind of access of WLAN and transmission method.
Background technology
The media of the WLANs of IEEE 802.11 (Wireless Local Area Networks, WLAN) acquiescence are visited Ask that control (Multiple Access Control, MAC) agreement is that the carrier sense multiple with conflict avoidance function is accessed (Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance, CSMA/CA) agreement.The agreement In, some transmitting stations (station, STA) compete the broadcast channel right to use by specified rule so that certain website is possible to and it The transmission data of his dispatching station are clashed, and not only bring channel resource to waste, and also result in the throughput degradation and bag of network Average transmission time delay increases.Especially towards highly dense scene, Cell Edge User suffers from larger interference to next generation wlan, Therefore, it is difficult to the channel right to use is obtained, and transfer rate is relatively low.To ensure fairness, needs try to lift Cell Edge User Access and data transmission quality.As capacity of equipment is constantly lifted, node possesses while intercepting the ability of multiple channels, this is just Fairness problem for Cell Edge User provides more bases, and to work out more methods existing asking is solved Topic.
The content of the invention
In order to overcome the deficiencies in the prior art, it is contemplated that based under highly dense scene, using connecing that multiple cell is associated Enter and transmission method, solve the existing WLAN of IEEE 802.11 and lack the means for lifting edge customer access and data transfer, it is little Area edge user suffers from neighbor cell larger interference, so as to the problem that fairness is poor, lifts edge customer and accesses sum According to the performance of transmission.
The core content of the present invention mainly includes three parts, i.e., up process, descending process and main association handoff procedure. First, cell edge node is being experienced itself by larger interference or cannot preferably serviced for a long time positioned at cell edge Afterwards, many association process are carried out to primary wireless access points (access point, AP) request, be associated from AP or first with from AP Main AP is reinformed after being associated;Secondly, (Enhanced Distributed are accessed based on enhancement mode distributed coordination Channel Access, EDCA) mechanism is kept out of the way simultaneously in main plot and from cell, and reply main AP and the money from AP Ask (resource request, RR) frame, such as triggering-resource request frame (trigger frame-resource in source Request, TF-RR), and the orthogonal frequency for dispatching to perform of the trigger frame (trigger frame, TF) of each AP can be passed through Multiple access accesses (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access, OFDMA) uplink, Huo Zhetong Cross each AP triggering TF-R and form OFDMA Stochastic accessings;Finally, cell edge node finds that certain is from cell in for a long time Access and transmission performance is better than main plot, association handoff procedure can be started.
The detailed implementation steps of the technical solution adopted for the present invention to solve the technical problems are as follows:
Step 1:Cell Edge User node A arbitrarily selects the following two kinds implementation when many associations are carried out:
Implementation 1 is when Cell Edge User node A is in T1Average interference in time is more than the interference threshold of regulation, Or T1When average throughput is less than the throughput threshold for specifying in time, the interference threshold, throughput threshold and T1By The multi-link agreement of WLAN 802.11 regulation is held, many associations are sent just to primary wireless access points AP (access point) Beginningization frame MA-INIT (Multi-associate initialization), main AP are received after many association initialization frames, Xiang Jie Point A returns many association initialization and agrees to frame MA-INIT-ACK (Multi-associate initialization Acknowledgement) or associate initialization more and disagree frame MA-INIT-NAK (Multi-associate Initialization not acknowledgement), if node A receives MA-INIT-ACK, node A intercepts multiple letters The multiple of other cells outside road, and the cell being subordinate to node A send multi-link application frame MA-Req (multi- from AP Access-request), no matter whether the plurality of main channel from AP identical, MA-Req send simultaneously in multiple channels or Send on each channel respectively successively;After node A sends MA-Req frames, according to the agreement of WLAN 802.11, it is not It is all from AP all can receive node A transmission MA-Req frames, receive from AP MA-Req frames be referred to as from AP it is to be selected from AP, it is to be selected From AP after MA-Req frames are received, return multi-link application to node A and agree to frame MA-Req-ACK (multi-access- Request acknowledgement) or multi-link application reject frame MA-Req-NAK (multi-access-request not acknowledgement);If node A receives the MA-Req-ACK frames from AP to be selected, to node A MA-Req- is sent The to be selected of ACK frames forms incidence relation, i.e. node A to the to be selected from AP of node A transmission MA-Req-ACK frames from AP and node A Upper registration, sends the to be selected of MA-Req-ACK frames and provides service for node A from AP to node A, and step 2 is proceeded to afterwards;
If node A does not receive the ACK of main AP or do not receive any one MA-Req-ACK from AP, abandon many Basic Service Set BSS (Basic Service Set) associates flow process;
Implementation 2 is Cell Edge User node A in T1Average interference in time is more than the interference threshold of regulation, or Person T1In time average throughput less than regulation throughput threshold when, the interference threshold and throughput threshold and T1By The multi-link agreement of WLAN 802.11 regulation is held, multiple channels is intercepted and is sent multi-link application frame from AP to multiple MA-Req, no matter whether main AP and the main channel from AP are identical, and MA-Req sends or exists respectively successively simultaneously in multiple channels Each channel sends;Receive the MA-Req frames that node A sends selects agreement frame MA-Req-ACK or reject frame MA-Req- from AP The multi-link applications of NAK;If node A receives the MA-Req-ACK returned more than or equal to 1 AP, send multi-link application and agree to Frame MA_Rpt (multi-associate-report) informs many association results to main AP, that is, inform whether successfully and from AP set up Association, main AP is received after MA_Rpt frames, is returned multi-link request and is agreed to acknowledgement frame MA_Rpt ACK frame (multi- Associate-report acknowledgement) confirm, step 2 is proceeded to afterwards, if node A do not receive any one from The MA-Req-ACK of AP, then abandon many BSS associations flow processs;
Step 2:After the multi-link flow process successes of node A, in many association status, there is time limit X, X in many association status By the multi-link agreement of WLAN 802.11 regulation is supported, under many association status, if upstream data needs to send, Then execution step 3;If receiving main AP or the scheduling frame from AP, execution step 4;The lower line number for being sent to node A is received from AP According to bag, then execution step 5;If node A needs to switch main AP, execution step 6;
The time limit X of wherein many association status has two kinds of implementations:
Implementation 1 is stipulated time X, and X specifies that fringe node is in multiple cell BSS (Basic Service by agreement Set) connect after T time, after into many association status X times, automatic switchback main plot work is returned afterwards fringe node Step 1;
Implementation 2 is switched back into behind main plot for node A, needs to wait for a period of time D, and D is assisted by WLAN 802.11 View regulation, in time D transmission data is unable to, in order to avoid interfering to other users, if D=0, expression can stand after switching back Channel is used, that is, deteriorates to implementation 1, afterwards return to step 1;
Step 3:Node A accesses EDCA (Enhanced Distributed Channel based on enhancement mode distributed coordination Access) mechanism, backoff procedure is performed in main plot and from cell simultaneously, and in EDCA mechanism flow process is kept out of the way, little in master Area and contention window CW value is initialized respectively from cell, then kept out of the way, any one cell is kept out of the way after 0, you can perform Access and transmitting procedure, access and transmitting procedure there are three kinds of implementations, three kinds of implementations are described in detail below:
Implementation 1:The cell for reducing to 0 in retreat count is accessed, in corresponding access and transmitting procedure, Suo Youxin Road arbitrarily selects to keep out of the way mode, that is, select to keep out of the way again, or selects once to be moved back in the cell reservation do not kept out of the way at other Keep away count value to continue to keep out of the way;
Implementation 2:In current demand signal and interference plus noise than SINR (Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio) highest cell or average SINR highests cell perform and access and transmitting procedure;
Implementation 3:The different districts of same channel, select SINR highests cell to perform and access and transmitting procedure;
Return to step 2 afterwards;
Step 4:Fringe node A replys the main AP and resource request RR (resource from AP after associating with multiple AP Request) frame, resource collects the scheduling of the TF that request RAR (resource allocation request) frame passes through each AP To perform based on orthogonal frequency-time multiple access OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) the uplink of technology, or triggering-resource request frame TF-RR (trigger frame- are triggered by each AP Resource request) OFDMA Stochastic accessings are formed, if i.e. AP is TF, then perform OFDMA;What if AP sent out It is TF-RR, then perform OFDMA Stochastic accessings;
Return to step 2;
Step 5:Node A step 1, step 2 with from after being successfully associated AP more, if being not received by being sent to section from AP The packet of point A, continues to intercept channel, performs according to 802.11 agreements;If receiving the packet for being sent to node A from AP, Modification ethernet packet header domain, by the destination address that the packet for being sent to node A is received from AP the MAC Address of node A is revised as, From AP amended packet is seen off by cable network again;
Main AP is received after the packet, can be transmitted to node A, afterwards return to step 2;
Step 6:Node A existence time thresholding T2, T2By the multi-link agreement of WLAN 802.11 regulation is supported, such as Fruit over-time thresholding T2, when certain is less than main plot, or handling capacity higher than main plot from the interference of cell, then starts association and cut Process is changed, starting the premise of association handoff procedure is main BSS and belongs to same expansion service set ESS (Extended from BSS Service Set), association handoff procedure is:When node A sends association request again to be switched from AP (Reassociation Request) frame, receives from AP and reply association request again after Reassociation Request frames Acknowledgement frame (Reassociation Response) realizes association switching, or node A was subordinate to node A before many associations are carried out The main AP of cell sends disassociation Disassociation, realizes association switching.
The invention has the beneficial effects as follows the access and transmission method due to being associated using many BSS so that be interfered in the past Larger fringe node can carry out the transmission opportunitys for associating, increasing fringe node more with the AP of other cells, solve cell side Edge user fairness poor;Access and transmission plan as a result of many BSS associations, improve edge customer and access sum According to the performance of transmission, access and the transmission quality of Cell Edge User have been ensured so that access and transmission performance is improved, solve Cell Edge User of having determined is subject to the problem of neighbor cell larger interference.

Step 3:Node A accesses EDCA (Enhanced Distributed Channel based on enhancement mode distributed coordination Access) mechanism, backoff procedure is performed in main plot and from cell simultaneously, and in EDCA mechanism flow process is kept out of the way, little in master Area and contention window CW value is initialized respectively from cell, then kept out of the way, any one cell is kept out of the way after 0, you can perform Access and transmitting procedure, access and transmitting procedure there are three kinds of implementations, three kinds of implementations are described in detail below:
Implementation 1:The cell for reducing to 0 in retreat count is accessed, in corresponding access and transmitting procedure, all channels are appointed Mode is kept out of the way in meaning selection, that is, select to keep out of the way again, or selects once to keep out of the way meter in the cell reservation do not kept out of the way at other Numerical value continues to keep out of the way;
Implementation 2:In current demand signal and interference plus noise than SINR (Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio) highest cell or average SINR highests cell are performed and accessed and transmitting procedure;
Implementation 3:The different districts of same channel, select SINR highests cell to perform and access and transmitting procedure;
Return to step 2 afterwards;
Step 4:Fringe node A replys the main AP and resource request RR (resource from AP after associating with multiple AP Request) frame, resource collects the scheduling of the TF that request RAR (resource allocation request) frame passes through each AP To perform based on orthogonal frequency-time multiple access OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) the uplink of technology, or triggering-resource request frame TF-RR (trigger frame- are triggered by each AP Resource request) OFDMA Stochastic accessings are formed, if i.e. AP is TF, then perform OFDMA;What if AP sent out It is TF-RR, then perform OFDMA Stochastic accessings;
Return to step 2;
Step 5:Node A step 1, step 2 with from after being successfully associated AP more, if being not received by being sent to node A from AP Packet, continue to intercept channel, according to 802.11 agreements perform;If receiving the packet for being sent to node A from AP, modification Ethernet packet header domain, by the destination address that the packet for being sent to node A is received from AP the MAC Address of node A is revised as, from AP Amended packet is seen off by cable network again;
Main AP is received after the packet, can be transmitted to node A, afterwards return to step 2;
Step 6:Node A existence time thresholding T2, T2By the multi-link agreement of WLAN 802.11 regulation is supported, if super Cross time threshold T2, when certain is less than main plot, or handling capacity higher than main plot from the interference of cell, then starts association and switched Journey, starting the premise of association handoff procedure is main BSS and belongs to same expansion service set ESS (Extended from BSS Service Set), association handoff procedure is:When node A sends association request again to be switched from AP (Reassociation Request) frame, receives from AP and reply association request again after Reassociation Request frames Acknowledgement frame (Reassociation Response) realizes association switching, or node A was subordinate to node A before many associations are carried out The main AP of cell sends disassociation Disassociation, realizes association switching.
