具体实施方式
下面结合本申请实施例中的附图对本申请实施例进行描述。
首先介绍本申请中的技术背景,如下所示:
在实际应用中,电力线通信的宽带技术所使用的标准为国际电信联盟电信标准分局(international telecommunication union-telecommunication standardization sector,ITU-T)G.hn标准和homeplug AV标准。这两种标准一般是采用正交频分复用(orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing,OFDM)调制方式,OFDM调制方式能够在电磁干扰的通信环境下保证稳定完整的传输数据。
如图1所示,家庭宽带网络(也可称为家庭网络)中一般包括域控制节点(domain master)以及节点(Node),家庭网络节点之间可通过电力线连接,域控制节点可对域内的节点进行管理等等操作。为便于理解,本申请实施例将以G.hn标准为例来说明本申请所提供的方法,如在G.hn标准中,一般称domain master为家庭网络主节点,或家庭网络DM,Node为家庭网络从节点或家庭网络终端节点(end point,EP)。又如,在homeplug AV标准中,domain master又可以称为集中器(central coordinator,CC)、节点称为站(station,STA)。因此,不应将本申请实施例中的DM和EP理解为本申请所提供的方法仅适用于G.hn标准。也就是说,在其他家庭网络的标准中,本申请所提供的方法同样适用。
由此,根据图1所示的网络架构,如图2所示,图2是由DM以及多个EP所组成的家庭网络,该DM和多个EP任意两节点间可以通过电力线连接。其中,DM可用于对域内节点(即EP)进行管理,如可用于管理域内节点的注册和退出,以及管理域内节点的节点优先级,又如负责分配通信资源等等。
具体的,DM或EP可以是宽带电力猫、路由器、无线保真(wireless fidelity,WiFi)、无线访问接入点(wireless access point,AP)、数字用户线路(digital subscriber line,DSL)调制解调器以及光网络终端(optical network terminal,ONT)等等。常见应用在家庭网络内部通过PLC技术连接家庭主路由器以及其他包含WiFi功能的AP或路由器节点,便可实现WiFi在家庭网络内部的高质量覆盖。
其中,G.hn标准是ITU-T针对家庭网络应用制定的标准协议族,包含了多个标准文本,如可包括G.9960、G.9961、G.9963、G.9964等等,分别对应家庭网络技术相关的架构、物理层、数据链路层、多输入多输出(multiple-input multiple-output,MIMO)等技术标准。G.hn标准仅针对家庭网络连接应用。家庭网络G.hn标准的参考模型,如图3所示,G.hn标准主要定义了数据链路层(data link layer,DLL)和物理层(physical layer,PHY),其中数据链路层又包括应用协议融合层(application protocol convergence),逻辑链路层(logical link Control)和介质接入控制层(medium access control);其中物理层又包含物理编码子层(physical coding sub-layer),物理介质附加子层(physical medium attachment)和物理介质相关子层(physical medium dependent)。
同时电力线(power line communication,PLC)物联网(internet of things,IoT)技术 也在积极使用电力线进行通信,所使用的标准一般有G3-PLC和电气和电子工程师协会(institute of electrical and electronics engineers,IEEE)1901.1。
由于家庭网络节点主要用于支撑家庭宽带的覆盖,而PLC IoT节点无处不在,即每个支持智慧家庭的电器都有可能为IoT节点,也就是说在家庭网络中,家庭网络节点数量较少,PLC IoT节点(包括IoT主节点和IoT从节点)数量众多,由此在同时使用电力线的过程中,会相互干扰,如PLC IoT节点的使用可能会造成家庭网络节点的宽带性能下降,以及家庭网络节点的使用可能会使得PLC IoT节点出现丢包或时延变成等现象。
由此,本申请提供了一种通信方法,可降低PLC IoT节点与家庭网络节点的相互干扰,提高***性能。
本申请实施例中,家庭网络主节点与家庭网络从节点均可以是电力猫、路由器、WiFi AP、DSL调制解调器或ONT等等,本申请实施例对家庭网络主节点以及家庭网络从节点的具体形态不作限定。IoT主节点与IoT从节点可以是IoT业务网关或集成IoT功能的各种家用电器等等,本申请实施例对于IoT主节点与IoT从节点的具体形态不作限定。
可理解,区分家庭网络主节点与家庭网络从节点的方法,如可以将节点中的某个节点固定设置为家庭网络主节点,如可以将节点中的A节点设置为家庭网络主节点,从而节点中的其他节点如B节点和C节点便可称为家庭网络从节点。例如家庭网络中可以通过设置家庭主路由作为家庭网络主节点。又如在具体使用时,哪个节点先上电,如D节点上电了,则该D节点被可称为家庭网络主节点,从而节点中的其他节点如E节点便可称为家庭网络从节点。可理解,对于IoT主节点与IoT从节点之间的区分方法还可如上所示。
本申请实施例中,家庭网络主节点、家庭网络从节点、IoT主节点以及IoT从节点都可以通过家庭电网中的电源接口连接到电力线网络中,即可以通过电力线在各个节点之间进行通信。
可理解,本申请实施例中,家庭网络主节点也可称为家庭网络DM,家庭网络从节点也可称为家庭网络EP,以及IoT主节点也可称为IoT DM,IoT从节点也可称为IoT EP。
其中,对于家庭网络主节点即家庭网络DM的参考模型可如图3所示,对于IoT主节点即IoT DM的参考模型如图4所示(可理解,图4所示的融合代理单元的结构仅为示例,不应将其理解为对本申请的限定),图4是本申请实施例提供的一种IoT DM的架构示意图。该IoTDM可包括IoTDLL,该IoTDLL可包括协议融合层(application protocol convergence),逻辑链路层(logical link control)和介质接入控制层(medium access control)。该IoTDLL可完成IoT EP节点的注册管理,物理介质上信号传输资源的分配,装帧组帧,链路控制层报文的产生比如介质访问计划(medium access plan,MAP)报文等。该IoT主节点还可包括物理层(physical layer,PHY),该物理层还可包括物理编码子层(physical coding sub-layer),物理介质附加子层(physical medium attachment)和物理介质相关子层(physical medium dependent)。该PHY可完成对数据的编码调制,将数据编码并调制成可发送到线路上的信号,及对信号的解调解码,将线路上的信号进行解调及对数据进行解码操作,以及完成信号到比特数据的转换等等。可理解,图4所示的PHY不仅可支持PLC所使用的标准,还可支持PLC IoT所使用的标准。
本申请实施例中,该IoTDM还可包括融合代理单元,该融合代理单元可代理IoT DM作为PLC G.hn标准中的EP(即家庭网络EP)注册到PLC网络中,以及申请和接收家庭网络DM分配的通信资源,并将该通信资源发送给IoT DM中的DLL(即IoT DLL)。
在一个实施例中,如图4所示,该融合代理单元可包括家庭网络EP单元和代理单元,其中,该家庭网络EP单元可用于支持家庭网络EP中DLL的大部分功能,即可用于支持该IoT DM与家庭网络DM进行通信,从而使得该IoT DM作为家庭网络EP注册到目标域(即家庭网络DM所在的域)中。该家庭网络EP单元与该代理单元之间有接口,以及该家庭网络EP与该IoT DM中的物理层之间有接口。其中,该家庭网络EP单元可通过物理层调制解调信号与家庭网络DM进行通信,如进行相关注册以及获取通信资源等信息,还可将获得的通信资源等信息发送给该代理单元。该代理单元可从该家庭网络EP单元获得通信资源等信息,还可与IoTDLL连接,将该通信资源等信息发送给IoT DLL。
根据图3和图4所示的参考模型,如图5a所示,图5a是本申请实施例提供的一种网络架构示意图,如图5a所示,在域i所在的网络中,可包括一个家庭网络DM和多个家庭网络EP,以及一个IoT DM和多个IoT EP。
作为一个实施例,图5b是本申请实施例提供的一种网络架构示意图,如图5b所示,在域i所在的家庭网络中,还可以包括子域j,该子域j可包括一个IoT DM和多个IoT EP。
作为一个实施例,本申请还提供了一种融合主节点,该融合主节点还可称为融合DM。该融合DM可包括家庭网络DLL和IoT DLL,该家庭网络DLL可参考图3所示的描述,该IoT DLL可参考前述实施例的具体描述,该融合DM还可包括PHY,对于该PHY可参考前述实施例的具体描述,这里不再一一详述。
作为一个实施例,图6是本申请实施例提供的一种融合DM的架构示意图,如图6所示,该融合DM还可包括融合代理单元,该融合代理单元可包括家庭网络EP单元和代理单元。其中,该家庭网络EP单元可用于支持家庭网络EP中DLL的大部分功能,即可用于支持该融合DM作为家庭网络EP与图6中的家庭网络DLL连接,从而使得该融合DM作为家庭网络EP注册到目标域中(如家庭网络DM所在的域i)。该家庭网络EP单元与家庭网络DLL之间有接口,从而可进行相关注册以及获取通信资源等信息。该家庭网络EP单元与代理单元之间有接口,从而可使得代理单元获得该通信资源,以及该代理单元还可将该通信资源发送给IoT DLL。
根据图3和图6所示的参考模型,如图7a所示,图7a是本申请实施例提供的一种网络架构示意图,如图7a所示,在域i所在的网络中,可包括一个融合DM和多个家庭网络EP以及多个IoT EP。
作为一个实施例,图7b是本申请实施例提供的一种网络架构示意图,如图7b所示,在域i所在的家庭网络中,可包括一个融合DM和多个IoT EP。
对于图5a和图7a来说,IoT主节点的域标识ID与家庭网络主节点的域ID相同;但是对于图5b和图7b来说,IoT主节点所在的域还可以是前述的家庭网络域下的子域。
以上是本申请实施例所涉及的各个节点的描述,以下将具体描述本申请实施例所涉及的方法,可理解,该方法可应用于时分多址(time domain multiple access,TDMA)***, 还可应用于正交频分多址(orthogonal frequency division multiple access,OFDMA)***。如图8所示,图8是本申请实施例提供的一种通信方法的流程示意图。
该通信方法包括以下步骤:
801、家庭网络DM发送第一广播消息,如可周期性向IoT DM以及家庭网络EP发送该第一广播消息。
其中,该第一广播消息可用于指示或包括第一通信资源,该第一通信资源为IoT DM或家庭网络EP发起注册请求需要占用的资源。具体的,该第一通信资源可包括第一时域资源或第一时频域资源,该第一时域资源又可理解为第一时隙资源。其中,该第一广播消息中可直接包括第一通信资源,如直接包括第一时隙资源为时隙1。或者,该第一广播消息可用于指示第一通信资源,如通过特定符号来指示时隙1等等,本申请实施例对于该第一通信资源的具体形式不作限定。可理解,如第一广播消息用于指示第一通信资源,则该指示方法对于收发双方来说,已经事先协商好了,即收发双方能清楚得知第一通信资源用何种方法来指示。
可选的,该第一广播消息还可用于指示或包括域ID,该域ID可用于指示IoT DM根据自己的域ID来选择是否接入该家庭网络DM所在的域中。
可选的,该第一广播消息还可以以MAP报文的形式来广播。如通过MAP报文给IoT DM分配第一时隙资源,该第一时隙资源可为(Contention Free Transmission Opportunity,CFTXOP)或(contention free time slot,CFTS)。
可理解,在其他标准中,该第一广播消息还可为其他形式如Beacon的形式。因此,本申请实施例对于该第一广播消息的具体形式不作限定。
802、IoT DM接收第一广播消息,以及利用第一通信资源向该家庭网络DM发送第一注册请求。
其中,该第一注册请求可用于请求注册到家庭网络DM所在的域中,也就是说,该第一注册请求可用于请求将IoT DM作为家庭网络EP注册到家庭网络DM所在的域中。
803、家庭网络DM接收IoT DM发送的第一注册请求,并向IoT DM发送第一确认指令。
该第一确认指令可用于确认该第一注册请求。
可理解,该第一确认指令中还可包括节点标识A,即该节点标识A为家庭网络DM为IoT DM分配的节点标识,通过分配该节点标识A可使得家庭网络DM发送第二广播消息时,给相应的节点分配资源,如可向节点标识为A的IoT DM分配第二通信资源。
804、家庭网络DM发送第二广播消息,该第二广播消息可用于指示或包括第二通信资源。
其中,该第二通信资源可理解为IoT DM或家庭网络EP需要发送信号时占用的资源。该第二通信资源可用于指示或包括第二时域资源或第二时频域资源。可理解,对于该第二通信资源的具体描述可参考第一通信资源的描述,这里不再一一详述。
可理解,在IoT DM接收到该第二广播消息后,便可为IoT节点分配第二通信资源,如可向IoT从节点分配资源,又可以向IoT主节点分配等等,本申请实施例不作限定。
805、IoT DM利用第二通信资源向IoT EP发送IoT广播消息。
该IoT广播消息可用于指示或包括第二通信资源,具体的,该IoT广播消息中还可包括与注册相关的信息,该注册相关的信息可包括物理层相关信息以及域标识等信息,通过该注册相关的信息可使得IoT EP正确接收和发送注册相关数据帧,通过确认该域标识决定是否发起注册请求,从而注册到IoT DM所在的域中。可理解,该IoT广播消息的具体形式可为IoT MAP报文的形式,该IoT MAP报文中可包括该第二时隙资源以及与注册相关的信息,
可选的,该IoT MAP报文的格式可如图9所示,其中,IoT MAP头(header)即MAP报文中的header,可用于携带物理层调制解调关键参数等信息,例如比特分配表(bit allocation table,BAT),前向纠错码(forward error correction,FEC)参数(如码块大小、码率)。TXOP Desc[i]:传输机会(transmission opportunity,TXOP)为时隙资源单元,TXOPDesc[i]中i表示该TXOP的属性,以及节点的分配信息等。也就是说,该i可表示该时隙资源是对应分配给哪个节点的资源。附加信息(auxiliary information)中包含了与注册相关的关键信息,例如域标识。
可理解,本申请实施例中所描述的域标识不仅可包括IoT DM的标识,还可包括组播标识(multicast ID)和广播标识(broadcast ID)。其中,组播标识可表示该通信资源是分配给域中特点组播内的节点,广播标识可表示该通信资源是分配给域中所有节点。IoT DM的标识可表示IoT EP是否接入到该IoT DM所在的域中。
可理解,IoT DM发送IoT广播消息所占用的资源可以为第二通信资源中的部分资源等,或者,为第二通信资源中的全部资源等等,本申请实施例不作限定。
806、IoT EP接收IoT广播消息,向IoT DM发送第二注册请求,请求注册到IoT DM所在的域中。
807、IoT DM接收第二注册请求,并向IoT EP发送第二确认指令,从而确认该第二注册请求。
其中,该第二确认指令中可包括域标识,对于域标识的具体描述可参考前述实施例。
808、IoT DM与IoT EP进行数据通信。
809、IoT DM与家庭网络DM进行数据通信。
其中对于步骤805与步骤809的先后顺序不作限定。
可理解,本申请还提供了家庭网络DM与家庭网络EP之间的通信方法,如下所示:
810、家庭网络EP接收家庭网络DM的第一广播消息,并向家庭网络DM发送注册请求A。
811、家庭网络DM接收注册请求A,并向家庭网络EP发送确认指令B,确认该注册请求A。
812、家庭网络DM与家庭网络EP进行数据通信。
本申请实施例中,家庭网络DM分配给IoT DM的第二通信资源如第二时隙资源如果与家庭网络DM所使用的时隙资源为竞争的关系,如在CBTXOP或CBTS竞争的时隙资源中来发送数据帧,则IoT DM或IoT EP的数据帧格式需要考虑兼容原有家庭网络下的帧格式,如图10所示,在家庭网络的帧结构头(header)的基础上增加IoT头(header)。
其中,前导码(Preamble):在IoT PHY层中定义,基本保持G.hn PHY(G.9960)中 的定义,由此家庭网络DM、家庭网络EP、IoT DM能通过该Preamble检测到数据帧。例如可保持原有G.hn 28MHz模式下的定义。
header:保持G.hn标准中的header定义,由此家庭网络DM便可识别该帧;IoT header:至少包含IoT网络的源(source,S)ID和目标(destination,D)ID,使得IoTEP能识别帧的来源和目的。
其中,IoT DM通过融合代理单元作为家庭网络EP注册到家庭网络中后获得自己的ID,后续IoT DM在发送给IoTEP的数据帧中可以将header(非IoT Header)中的SID和DID都设置为上述ID,由此,家庭网络节点包括家庭网络DM和家庭网络EP接收到该数据帧,也不会处理该数据帧。以及IoT EP注册到IoT网络中后,同样记录该IoT DM获取的ID,并在发送给其他IoT EP的数据帧中同样将header中的SID,DID设置成上述ID,从而确保该数据帧不会被家庭网络中的节点处理。
IoT承载域(payload):保持原有G.hn PHY标准中的定义,或者使用新的参数如OFDM符号长度等,用于承载IoT节点间正式传输数据的数据符号。
本申请实施例中,家庭网络DM分配给IoT DM的时隙资源如果与家庭网络DM所使用的时隙资源为非竞争的关系,即IoT节点(包括IoT DM和IoT EP)不需要和家庭网络节点去竞争发送数据帧,则该数据帧的结构可如图11所示:
IoT preamble:在IoT PHY层中定义的独立前导码及参数;
IoT header:在IoT PHY层中定义的header符号及参数,里面包含IoT SID/DID信息以及传输的调制编码参数等其他信息;
IoT payload:在IoT PHY层中定义的payload符号及参数。
实施本申请实施例,IoT DM通过与家庭网络DM以及IoT EP交互,可使得该IoT DM既可作为“家庭网络EP”注册到家庭网络中,又可充当DM的角色对IoT EP进行资源分配等操作,从而使得PLC与PLC IoT进行融合,使得通信资源得到了统一管理,避免了两者之间的相互干扰,提高了资源管理的效率。
如图12所示,图12是本申请实施例提供的另一种通信方法的流程示意图。该通信方法可应用于融合DM,该融合DM的网络架构可参考前述实施例。
该通信方法包括以下步骤:
1201、家庭数据链路层向融合代理单元发送第一信息,该第一信息可用于指示或包括第三通信资源。
其中,该第三通信资源可包括第三时域资源或第三时频域资源,且该第三通信资源可为融合DM与IoT EP之间进行通信时所需要的资源。
可选的,家庭数据链路层可在检测到融合代理单元被启动的情况下,向融合代理单元发送第一信息。如融合DM接收到用户输入的开启IoT功能的指令的情况下,可启动该融合代理单元;又或者中检测到应用需求的情况下,可启动该融合代理单元。
1202、融合代理单元接收家庭数据链路层发送的第一信息,并向家庭网络数据链路层发送第四注册请求,该第四注册请求可用于请求注册到所述家庭网络数据链路层所在的域中。
1203、家庭网络数据链路层接收第四注册请求,并向融合代理单元发送第四确认指令,该第四确认指令用于确认第四注册请求。
1204、融合代理单元接收第四注册请求,并向IoT数据链路层发送该第一信息。
可理解,在IoT数据链路层接收到包括第三通信资源的第一信息后,融合DM便可通过该IoT数据链路层为IoT从节点分配该第三通信资源。从而使得IoT从节点利用分配的资源与其他节点(包括IoT从节点以及IoT主节点)进行数据通信。
1205、IoT数据链路层接收第一信息,该融合DM还可以通过该IoT数据链路层向IoT EP发送广播消息C。
其中,广播消息C用于指示或包括第三通信资源,该第三通信资源可用于IoT EP与IoT数据链路层进行数据通信。
1206、IoT EP接收广播消息C,并向IoT数据链路层发送第三注册请求,用于请求注册到IoT数据链路层所在的域中。
1207、IoT数据链路层接收第三注册请求,向IoT EP发送第三确认指令,确认该第三注册请求。
1208、IoT EP与IoT数据链路层进行数据通信。
1209、家庭网络EP接收广播消息C。
1210、家庭网络EP向家庭网络数据链路层发送第五注册请求,该第五注册请求用于请求注册到家庭网络数据链路层所在的域中,
1211、家庭网络数据链路层接收第五注册请求,向家庭网络EP发送第五确认指令,确认该第五注册请求。
1212、家庭网络数据链路层与家庭网络EP进行数据通信。
本申请实施例中,通过在融合DM中同时设置家庭网络数据链路层与IoT数据链路层,可使得该融合DM既可以作为家庭网络DM,又可以作为IoT DM,从而进行资源的统一管理,避免资源之间的相互干扰,避免了资源浪费的情况。
