Description

Time slot table generation method and device, nonvolatile storage medium and computer equipment

Technical Field

The present invention relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a method and an apparatus for generating a slot table applied in a flexible ethernet, a non-volatile storage medium, and a computer device.

Background

Flexible Ethernet (FlexE) is an interface technology for bearer networks to implement service isolation and network slicing. By breaking the one-to-one mapping relation of the strong binding of the MAC layer and the PHY layer, the Flexe realizes the flexible and fine management of interface resources, solves the problem of unbalance between different customer service requirements and networks, and enables the hard pipeline isolation and bandwidth allocation according to requirements of partial industries to be satisfied. Some researchers at home and abroad propose finer bandwidth granularity, and the granularity of the slice is refined from 5G to 1G, even 500M, so as to support the small-particle service bearer. However, when the refined bandwidth granularity technology is used for carrying large-granule services, such as services carrying 5G, 10G or greater bandwidths, the number of time slots occupied by the services is increased, which leads to increased overhead and thus causes redundancy of control information.

In view of the above problems, no effective solution has been proposed.

Fig. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a first method for generating a timeslot table according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 2, the method includes the following steps:

step S202, determining at least one time slot for transmitting the traffic data, wherein each time slot of the at least one time slot includes a plurality of sub-time slots.

It should be noted that the communication process involved in the present invention may be a communication activity using FlexE flexible ethernet technology. The service data waiting to be transmitted in step S202 may be service data from a service in the network where the communication transmitting end is located.

Step S204, generating an overhead entry corresponding to at least one timeslot, where the overhead entry corresponding to the at least one timeslot is used to respectively characterize a corresponding relationship between a plurality of sub-timeslots included in the corresponding timeslot and the service data.

In the above steps, the communication sending end first determines at least one time slot for transmitting certain service data, where each time slot of the at least one time slot includes multiple sub-time slots, and each time slot for transmitting the service data corresponds to an overhead entry. The overhead entry is used for representing the corresponding relationship between a plurality of sub-slots in the corresponding time slot and the service data, wherein the corresponding relationship between the plurality of sub-slots and the service data, that is, whether each sub-slot in the time slot is allocated to transmit the service data. It should be noted that, the communication sending end may transmit one or more sets of service data from one or more services to the communication receiving end at the same time, and when transmitting multiple sets of service data at the same time, the multiple sets of service data may be allocated to respective sub-slots of multiple slots at the same time for transmission. The method in this embodiment may be implemented in the process of transmitting one set of service data, and for the case of simultaneously transmitting multiple sets of service data of multiple services between two communicating parties, the method in this embodiment may also be applied to the multiple sets of service data, respectively, to achieve the technical effect of reducing the number of overhead of the slot table.

In this step, the time slot for transmitting data between the communication transmitting end and the receiving end has a fixed time slot bandwidth, and the value of the bandwidth of the minimum time slot or the sub-time slot for transmitting data may be referred to as a bandwidth granularity. For example, if the total bandwidth for transmitting data is 100GE (Gigabit Ethernet, GE for short), the bandwidth of each timeslot is 5GE when the data is divided into 20 timeslots for transmitting the traffic data. In the related art, if the sub-slots are not divided on the basis of the slots, when the bandwidth required for transmitting the service data is less than 5GE, one slot must be used for transmission, and the bandwidth granularity at this time is 5GE, which may cause waste of the transmission bandwidth. Therefore, each timeslot can be subdivided into a plurality of sub-timeslots, for example, a timeslot with a bandwidth of 5GE can be subdivided into 5 sub-timeslots with a bandwidth of 1GE, each sub-timeslot can be used for transmitting a part of the service data separately, at this time, the bandwidth granularity of the entire link is 1GE, which can solve the problem of bandwidth waste in the process of transmitting the service data, or a timeslot with a bandwidth of 5GE can be subdivided into 10 sub-timeslots with a bandwidth of 500M, at this time, the bandwidth granularity of the entire link is 500M. However, in order to record whether a sub-slot in each time slot is allocated to transmit data and which service data is allocated to be transmitted, it is necessary to record the correspondence between a plurality of sub-slots and transmitted service data in the time slot table in the related art. At this time, the corresponding relationship between each sub-slot and the service data needs to be recorded by a single entry in the slot table, that is, for the same service data, different bandwidth granularity brings different overhead configuration information, and the finer the bandwidth granularity is, the more the number of entries in the slot table is, the more the number of overheads for transmitting the slot table to the communication receiving end is, the more the number of overheads for transmitting the slot table is increased, which results in redundancy of control information.

Step S206, generating a first time slot table according to the overhead entries corresponding to the at least one time slot one to one.

In this step, the overhead entries generated in the previous step for each timeslot in the at least one timeslot are filled in the timeslot table, so as to generate a first timeslot table. It should be noted that, the communication sending end has two time slot tables, where one of the time slot tables is used to record the corresponding relationship between the currently sent service data and the time slot and the sub-time slot in the link. Before the transmission is completed, if new service data needs to be transmitted, another time slot table records the newly added and transmitted service data and the corresponding relation between the time slot and the sub-time slot in the link, and after the other time slot table is updated according to the newly added service data, the physical transmission link can transmit the other time slot table to the communication receiving end. The communication receiving end also has two time slot tables, the communication receiving end can fill the received new time slot table into the spare time slot table of the two time slot tables, after the spare time slot table is updated, the spare time slot table is used for analyzing the service data transmitted in the physical link, the spare time slot table becomes the main time slot table at this moment, and the former main time slot table is converted into the spare time slot table. In this embodiment, a time slot table that needs to be generated by a communication sending end for transmitting service data is a first time slot table, the first time slot table is a standby time slot table of the service sending end before the service data is transmitted, and after the first time slot table is completely sent to a communication receiving end, the sending end converts the first time slot table into a main time slot table and transmits the service data to the receiving end according to a sub-time slot allocation rule in the first time slot table.

Through the steps, the purpose of simplifying a plurality of overhead entries corresponding to sub-time slots which transmit the same service data and belong to the same time slot into one overhead entry can be achieved, so that the technical effect of reducing the overhead entries under the condition of using a refined bandwidth granularity technology to bear large-particle services is achieved, and the technical problem of redundant control information caused by excessive overhead entries in a time slot table in the related technology is solved.

As an alternative embodiment, generating the overhead entry corresponding to at least one timeslot in a one-to-one manner may be implemented by: generating a target overhead entry corresponding to a target time slot by adopting the following mode for each target time slot in at least one time slot: acquiring a target corresponding relation between the service data and a plurality of sub-time slots included in a target time slot; configuring a sub-time slot mapping field according to the target corresponding relation, wherein the sub-time slot mapping field represents whether a plurality of sub-time slots included in the target time slot are occupied by service data or not; and generating a target overhead entry according to the sub-time slot mapping field, the time slot sequence number of the target time slot and the service number of the service data.

Optionally, for the target service data, at least one time slot is used for transmitting the determined service data, and a corresponding overhead entry is generated for a target time slot in the at least one time slot, first, a target correspondence between the target service data and a sub-time slot in the target time slot needs to be obtained, where the target correspondence is whether multiple sub-time slots in the target time slot are occupied by the target service data, a sub-time slot mapping field representing the target correspondence may be generated according to the target correspondence, and a target overhead entry may be generated according to the sub-time slot mapping field, a time slot number of the target time slot, and a service number of the target service data. It should be noted that, an overhead entry can be used to characterize: when there are multiple service data, there may be multiple service data transmitted on multiple sub-slots of a target time slot, and because multiple service data are present, multiple overhead entries with the same number as that of the multiple service data are needed to represent the corresponding relationship between the target time slot and the multiple service data.

Fig. 3 is a Slot representation intention of different bandwidth granularities provided according to an alternative embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 3 (a), taking PHY of 100GE and bandwidth granularity of 500M as an example, when each of 20 slots is expanded to 10 Sub-slots in the time dimension, the Slot numbers of the 20 slots from left to right are 0 to 19, the Sub-Slot number corresponding to each Slot is 0 to 9, each overhead entry is used to describe a correspondence between one piece of traffic data in one Slot and a plurality of Sub-slots for transmitting the traffic data, at this time, the traffic data with the traffic numbers of 100 and 101 are transmitted, respectively, where the bandwidth required by the traffic data 100 is 5GE, the bandwidth required by the traffic data 101 is 10GE, the first overhead entry in the Slot table describes a correspondence between the traffic data 100 and a Slot indicated by the Slot number 0, the Sub-Slot Map field describes a correspondence between the traffic data 100 and a plurality of Sub-slots included by the Slot number, the PHY indicates a correspondence between the physical channels used for transmitting the plurality of slots, and the chip ID is 1 to chip Group, and the chip ID is referred to FlexE 1. The service data 101 occupies two slots with

slot numbers

3 and 4, so two overhead entries are needed to describe the correspondence between the service data 101 and the sub-slots in the two slots respectively.

As shown in fig. 3 (b), for the overhead entries of the slot tables for transmitting the

service data

100 and 101 under the same condition in the prior art, each sub-slot needs an overhead entry to represent the corresponding relationship between the sub-slot and the service data, and by comparing fig. 3 (a) and (b), it can be found that the method of the present invention brings the technical effect of greatly reducing the number of overhead entries.

The optional embodiment redefines the OH frame defined by the OIF standard on the basis of the standard FlexE technology, and is used to divide the time slots (Slot 0 to Slot19, 20 time slots) under the OIF standard to obtain redefined sub-time slots. It should be noted that, in the related art, in the communication process based on the FlexE protocol, special OH (overhard) code blocks are inserted through a fixed period, and further, each 8 OH code blocks form an OH frame, the OH frame forms an OH multiframe, and complete control information is carried by the OH multiframe. In the embodiment of the application, an OH frame can be redefined, and a Slot Number field (Slot Number, number range 0-19, 5 bits) can be added into an overhead OH frame field to represent 20 slots (Slot 0-Slot 19) in the standard Flexe technology; and adding a Sub-Slot mapping field (Sub-Slot Map,10 bits) into the OH field, wherein the Sub-Slot mapping field represents the mapping relation between the Sub-Slot (Sub-Slot) expanded under each Slot (Slot 0-Slot 19) and the Flexe service data (Client).

In addition, the optional embodiment modifies and redefines the Slot table used by the current FlexE technology, and a header of the redefined Slot table is as shown in table 1, and includes a Slot Number field, a Sub-Slot Map field, a Client ID field, a service Number field, a PHY ID, and a Group ID.

The relationship between the Slot Number field (Slot Number,5 bits) and the Slot is shown in table 2.

TABLE 2

As an optional embodiment, configuring the sub-slot mapping field according to the target correspondence may be implemented by the following steps: determining the bit number of a plurality of effective bits of a sub-slot mapping field, wherein the plurality of effective bits correspond to a plurality of sub-slots included in a target time slot one by one; determining values of a plurality of valid bits according to the target corresponding relation; and configuring a sub-time slot mapping field according to the digit and the value.

Optionally, configuring the sub-slot mapping field may determine a significant bit in the sub-slot mapping field by the number of sub-slots of the time slot, determine a value of a significant bit in the sub-slot mapping field by a corresponding relationship between the target service data and a plurality of sub-slots included in the target time slot, and configure the sub-slot mapping field according to the significant bit and the value. The total number of bits of the sub-slot mapping field may be artificially defined, and may be a fixed value, and after the number of sub-slots is determined, the number of significant bits of the sub-slot mapping field is determined. Alternatively, the number of significant bits of the sub-slot map field may be the first few bits of the sub-slot map field. As shown in fig. 3 (a), the sub-slot mapping field may be 10bits, and in the case of a PHY of 100GE and a bandwidth granularity of 500M, the number of sub-slots corresponding to each slot is 10, and at this time, all field bits in the sub-slot mapping field may be determined to be valid bits.

Specifically, the Sub-Slot Map field (Sub-Slot Map) is in the format of Bit Map, and the specific format is shown in table 3.

As an optional embodiment, when the sub-slot mapping field is a binary string, the values of the plurality of valid bits are determined according to the target correspondence, and the method may be implemented by the following steps: determining the value of a valid bit corresponding to a sub-time slot occupied by service data in a plurality of sub-time slots included in a target time slot as a first number; and determining the value of the valid bit corresponding to the sub-time slot which is not occupied by the service data in the plurality of sub-time slots included in the target time slot as a second number.

Optionally, when it is determined that the sub-slot mapping field is a binary character string, a value of a valid bit corresponding to a sub-slot occupied by service data in a plurality of sub-slots included in the target time slot may be a first number, and preferably, the first number may be 1, which indicates that the sub-slot is occupied by the target service data; meanwhile, the value of the valid bit corresponding to the sub-slot not occupied by the service data in the plurality of sub-slots included in the target time slot may be a second number, and preferably, the second number may be 0, which indicates that the sub-slot is not occupied by the target service data. As shown in fig. 3 (a), the service data with the service number of 100 occupies all 10 sub-slots under the slot with the slot number of 0, so that the valid bits of the sub-slot mapping field in the first overhead entry are all 10bits, and all the valid bits take on the value of 1.

Specifically, a Sub-Slot Map field (Sub-Slot Map) is in a Bit Map format, indicates FlexE service data (Client) contained in the Sub-Slot (Sub-Slot), and a corresponding Bit of "1" indicates that the FlexE service data is allocated on the Sub-Slot; a corresponding bit of "0" indicates that no FlexE service data is allocated on this sub-slot.

As an alternative embodiment, the method further comprises: storing the overhead entries in the first time slot table into overhead code blocks, wherein the overhead entries correspond to the overhead code blocks one to one; the overhead code blocks are transmitted to a communication receiving end.

Optionally, the communication sending end stores the overhead entries into overhead code blocks respectively, and then sends the overhead code blocks to the communication receiving end in sequence. When the same service data stream occupies a plurality of continuous sub-time slots, the invention redefines the overhead OH frame, adds the fields of the time slot number and the sub-time slot number, integrates and merges the control information of the services occupying a plurality of continuous sub-time slots, and simultaneously aggregates the entries of the time slot table into one, and only one overhead code block needs to be sent to one aggregated entry of the time slot. Therefore, the invention realizes the technical effects of reducing the overhead quantity and avoiding the overhead redundancy of the control information. After the communication sending end sends the simplified overhead items to the communication receiving end, the technical effect of reducing the number of overhead code blocks in the transmission process can be achieved.

Fig. 4 is a flowchart illustrating a second method for generating a slot table according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 4, the method includes the following steps:

step S402, receiving an overhead entry in a first time slot table transmitted by a communication transmitting end, where the overhead entry corresponds to at least one time slot for transmitting service data one to one, each time slot in the at least one time slot includes a plurality of sub-time slots, and the overhead entry corresponding to the at least one time slot one to one is used to respectively represent a corresponding relationship between the plurality of sub-time slots included in the corresponding time slot and the service data.

In this step, the communication receiving end receives the overhead entry transmitted by the communication transmitting end, and compared with the prior art, in a plurality of sub-time slots included in the same time slot, as long as at least two adjacent sub-time slots transmit the same service data, the technical effect of simplifying the overhead entry can be achieved.

Step S404, generating a second time slot table according to the overhead entry.

In this step, the communication receiving end fills the empty second slot table of the communication receiving end according to the received overhead entry, and generates a second slot table. Specifically, the overhead code block transmitted by the communication sending end may be received, and the overhead entries in the overhead code block are analyzed to generate the second slot table.

Through the steps, the purpose of simplifying a plurality of overhead entries corresponding to sub-time slots which transmit the same service data and belong to the same time slot into one overhead entry is achieved, so that the technical effect of reducing the overhead entries under the condition of using a refined bandwidth granularity technology to bear large-particle services is achieved, and the technical problem of redundant control information caused by excessive overhead entries in a time slot table in the related technology is solved.
