Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to communication technology, and in particular to a method, device, and storage medium for determining a network allocation vector in multi-connection communication. Background Art

[0002] To improve system throughput, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.11be standard stipulates that some devices may support simultaneous transmission and reception (transmission and reception under multiple connections do not interfere with each other), some devices may only support multi-connection transmission or reception, and some devices may only support single-connection transmission or reception.

[0003] In the related art, for devices with the above-described capabilities in the Basic Service Set (BSS), a method is proposed to ensure non-interference in communication. The device determines whether it can send at the physical layer based on the channel energy detection (ED) mechanism, and determines whether it can send at the media access control (MAC) layer based on the network allocation vector (NAV) mechanism. When the ED value is greater than or equal to the threshold, the NAV is set to busy and a random backoff is performed; when the ED value is less than the threshold, the NAV is set to idle and sending is performed.

[0004] However, the above only provides the NAV settings under one connection communication. In multi-connection communication, there is no feasible solution for how to ensure that devices do not interfere with each other during communication. Summary of the Invention

[0072] Exemplary embodiments are described in detail herein, with examples illustrated in the accompanying drawings. In the following description, when referring to the drawings, identical numbers in different figures represent identical or similar elements, unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments are not intended to represent all possible implementations consistent with the present invention. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with certain aspects of the present invention, as detailed in the appended claims.

[0073] The terms used in the embodiments of the present disclosure are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present disclosure. The singular forms "a," "an," and "the" used in the embodiments of the present disclosure and the appended claims are also intended to include plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It should also be understood that the term "and / or" used herein refers to and includes any or all possible combinations of one or more associated listed items.

[0074] It should be understood that although the terms first, second, third, etc. may be used to describe various information in the embodiments of the present disclosure, such information should not be limited to these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish information of the same type from each other. For example, without departing from the scope of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the first information may also be referred to as the second information, and similarly, the second information may also be referred to as the first information. Depending on the context, the words "if" and "if" as used herein may be interpreted as "at the time of" or "when" or "in response to determining".

[0075] In 2018, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.11 established a Study Group (SG) to research the next generation of mainstream Wi-Fi technology. The research scope includes: 320MHz bandwidth transmission, aggregation and coordination of multiple frequency bands, etc. The proposed vision is to increase the speed and throughput by at least four times compared to the existing 802.11ax. Its main application scenarios include video transmission, augmented reality (AR) transmission, virtual reality (VR) transmission, etc.

[0076] Among them, the aggregation of multiple frequency bands / connections means that the device sends data in multiple frequency bands (such as 2.4GHz, 5GHz and 6-7GHz) at the same time. The benefits of this include: 1. Improving the throughput of the entire system (sending data with different content in each frequency band); 2. Improving the success rate of data sending / receiving (sending data with unified content in each frequency band).

[0077] To further improve the system throughput, in IEEE802.11be, some devices may support simultaneous transmission and reception (reception and transmission under multiple connections do not interfere with each other), some devices may only support multi-connection transmission or reception, and some devices may only support single-connection transmission or reception.

[0078] In related technologies, a method for ensuring non-interference during communication is proposed for devices with the aforementioned capabilities within a Basic Service Set (BSS). Devices determine whether they can transmit at the physical layer based on the channel Energy Detection (ED) mechanism, and determine whether they can transmit at the MAC layer based on the Network Allocation Vector (NAV) mechanism. When the ED value is greater than or equal to a threshold, the NAV is set to busy, and a random backoff is performed; when the ED value is less than the threshold, the NAV is set to idle, and transmission is performed. However, this method only describes the NAV setting for a single connection. In the case of multiple connections, particularly when devices with three capabilities (multi-connection simultaneous transmission and reception, multi-connection transmission or reception, and single-connection transmission or reception) exist in the BSS, there is no specification for how the device perceives the channel and how the device should set the NAV when it is about to transmit data.

[0079] Based on the above wireless communication system, various embodiments of the disclosed method are proposed to improve the efficiency of spectrum utilization without causing interference to other devices.

[0080] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a method for determining a network allocation vector under multi-connection communication according to an exemplary embodiment. The method for determining a network allocation vector under multi-connection communication is applied to a first device, which may be a station (STA) device, specifically a mobile terminal, tablet, or an access point (AP) device, specifically a router, gateway, or other device. Figure 1 As shown, the method for determining the network allocation vector in multi-connection communication includes the following steps.

[0081] In step S11, a first connection under multiple connections generates a first data frame; wherein the multiple connections include the first connection;

[0082] In step S12, obtaining capability information values ​​of second devices in the multiple connections;

[0083] In step S13, a network allocation vector of the first device in the first connection is set according to the capability information value of the first device and the capability information value of the second device.

[0084] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the second device may be a site device or an access point device.

[0085] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first data frame is a data frame generated by the first device.

[0086] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the capability information value is:

[0087] The first value is used to indicate that simultaneous sending and receiving are supported on multiple connections; or

[0088] The second value is used to indicate that sending or receiving is supported on multiple connections; or

[0089] The third value is used to indicate that sending or receiving is supported on a single connection.

[0090] The first value, the second value, and the third value are three different values. In practical applications, the specific value assignment can be set or adjusted according to actual needs.

[0091] Among them, the multiple connections are basic service sets BSS established in the 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6-7GHz frequency bands, or basic service sets BSS with the same or different bandwidths established in any of the above three frequency bands, such as 20MHz, 40MHz, or 80MHz bandwidth, etc.

[0092] The capability information value of the second device is obtained from the signal field (SIGNAL) in the physical header of the second data frame transmitted by the first device through the second device. The capability information value can be specifically identified by two bits, for example, "00" indicates single-connection sending or receiving, "01" indicates multi-connection sending or receiving, and "10" indicates multi-connection sending and receiving.

[0093] Figure 2 A schematic diagram showing the format of capability information is shown in Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the format of the capability information value includes three items: element ID, length, and information. The information is used to determine the specific value. For example, if the information is "00", it means that the device only supports single-connection sending or receiving; if the information is "01", it means that the device supports multiple connections sending or receiving at the same time; if the information is "10", it means that the device supports multiple connections sending and receiving at the same time.

[0094] In this embodiment, there is no mandatory limitation on the method of obtaining the capability information value.

[0095] In some embodiments, the access point device sends a capability information value in a beacon frame, a probe response frame, or an association request frame, such as sending a capability information value indicating that it supports simultaneous reception and transmission under multiple connections.

[0096] In some embodiments, the site device sends its capability information value in a probe request frame or an association request frame, such as sending a capability information value indicating that it supports simultaneous sending and receiving under multiple connections, or sending a capability information value indicating that it supports simultaneous sending or receiving over multiple connections, or sending a capability information value indicating that it supports sending or receiving over a single connection.

[0097] The technical solution described in the embodiment of the present disclosure generates a first data frame in a first connection under multiple connections; wherein the multiple connections include the first connection; obtains the capability information value of the second device in the multiple connections; and sets the network allocation vector of the first device under the first connection according to the capability information value of the first device and the capability information value of the second device; in this way, the network allocation vector can be set based on the capability information value, so that the first device does not interfere with the second device, thereby improving the spectrum utilization efficiency.

[0098] In some embodiments, setting the network allocation vector of the first device in the first connection according to the capability information value of the first device and the capability information value of the second device includes:

[0099] In the case where the capability information value of the first device is the first value, if the capability information value of the second device is the first value, and the transmission connection of the second data frame is not the first connection, then determine that the duration value of the network allocation vector of the first device on the first connection is 0, and set the network allocation vector under the first connection to idle; wherein, the second data frame is a data frame sent by the second device perceived by the first device.

[0100] As can be seen, when the first device sends a first data frame over one of the multiple connections, it obtains the capability information value of the second device over the multiple connections. If the capability information values ​​of both the first and second devices are the first value, and the transmission connection for the second data frame is not the first connection, the network allocation vector of the first connection is set to idle, and the channel can be accessed to send the first data frame. In this way, the first device does not interfere with the second device.

[0101] In some embodiments, setting the network allocation vector of the first device in the first connection according to the capability information value of the first device and the capability information value of the second device includes:

[0102] In the case where the capability information value of the first device is the first value, if the capability information value of the second device is the first value, and the transmission connection of the second data frame is the first connection, then the duration value of the network allocation vector of the first device on the first connection is determined to be the frame length of the second data frame, and the network allocation vector under the first connection is set to busy; wherein, the second data frame is a data frame sent by the second device perceived by the first device.

[0103] Therefore, when the first device sends a first data frame over one of the multiple connections, it obtains the capability information value of the second device over the multiple connections. If the capability information values ​​of both the first and second devices are the first value, and the transmission connection of the second data frame is the first connection, the network allocation vector of the first connection is set to busy, and the first device waits for the frame length of the second data frame to continue sensing the access channel.

[0104] In some embodiments, setting the network allocation vector of the first device in the first connection according to the capability information value of the first device and the capability information value of the second device includes:

[0105] When the capability information value of the first device is the first value,

[0106] If the capability information value of the second device is the second value, and the transmission connection of the second data frame is the first connection, then when the second data frame is an uplink data frame or a downlink data frame, determine that the duration value of the network allocation vector of the first device on the first connection is the frame length of the second data frame, and set the network allocation vector under the first connection to busy.

[0107] It can be seen that when the first device sends a first data frame in one of multiple connections, it will obtain the capability information value of the second device in multiple connections. If the capability information value of the first device is the first value, the capability information value of the second device is the second value, and the transmission connection of the second data frame is the first connection, then when the second data frame is an uplink data frame or a downlink data frame, the duration value of the network allocation vector of the first device on the first connection is determined to be the frame length of the second data frame, and the network allocation vector under the first connection is set to busy. The first device needs to wait for the frame length of the second data frame to continue sensing the access channel.

[0108] In some embodiments, setting the network allocation vector of the first device in the first connection according to the capability information value of the first device and the capability information value of the second device includes:

[0109] In the case where the capability information value of the first device is the first value, if the capability information value of the second device is the second value, and the transmission connection of the second data frame is not the first connection, then when the second data frame is an uplink data frame, determine that the duration value of the network allocation vector of the first device on the first connection is 0, and set the network allocation vector under the first connection to idle; when the second data frame is a downlink data frame, determine that the duration value of the network allocation vector of the first device on the first connection is the frame length of the second data frame, and set the network allocation vector under the first connection to busy; wherein, the second data frame is a data frame sent by the second device perceived by the first device.

[0110] It can be seen that if the first device wants to send the first data frame under one of the multiple connections, it will learn the capability information value of the second device under the multiple connections. If the capability information value of the first device is the first value, the capability information value of the second device is the second value, and the transmission connection of the second data frame is not the first connection, then when the second data frame is an uplink data frame, the duration value of the network allocation vector of the first device on the first connection is determined to be 0, and the network allocation vector under the first connection is set to idle; when the second data frame is a downlink data frame, the duration value of the network allocation vector of the first device on the first connection is determined to be the frame length of the second data frame, and the network allocation vector under the first connection is set to busy; wherein, the second data frame is the data frame sent by the second device perceived by the first device, and the first device needs to wait for the frame length of the second data frame to continue to perceive the access channel.

[0111] In some embodiments, setting the network allocation vector of the first device in the first connection according to the capability information value of the first device and the capability information value of the second device includes:

[0112] In the case where the capability information value of the first device is the first value, if the capability information value of the second device is the third value, and the transmission connection of the second data frame is the first connection, then when the second data frame is an uplink data frame or a downlink data frame, the duration value of the network allocation vector of the first device on the first connection is determined to be the frame length of the second data frame, and the network allocation vector under the first connection is set to busy; wherein, the second data frame is a data frame sent by the second device perceived by the first device.

[0113] It can be seen that when the first device sends a first data frame in one of the multiple connections, it will learn the capability information value of the second device in the multiple connections. If the capability information value of the first device is the first value, the capability information value of the second device is the third value, and the transmission connection of the second data frame is the first connection, then when the second data frame is an uplink data frame or a downlink data frame, the duration value of the network allocation vector of the first device on the first connection is determined to be the frame length of the second data frame, and the network allocation vector under the first connection is set to busy. The first device needs to wait for the frame length of the second data frame to continue sensing the access channel.

[0114] In some embodiments, setting the network allocation vector of the first device in the first connection according to the capability information value of the first device and the capability information value of the second device includes:

[0115] In the case where the capability information value of the first device is the first value, if the capability information value of the second device is the third value, and the transmission connection of the second data frame is not the first connection, then when the second data frame is an uplink data frame, determine that the duration value of the network allocation vector of the first device on the first connection is 0, and set the network allocation vector under the first connection to idle; when the second data frame is a downlink data frame, determine that the duration value of the network allocation vector of the first device on the first connection is the frame length of the second data frame, and set the network allocation vector under the first connection to busy; wherein, the second data frame is a data frame sent by the second device perceived by the first device.

[0116] It can be seen that if the first device wants to send the first data frame under one of the multiple connections, it will learn the capability information value of the second device under the multiple connections. If the capability information value of the first device is the first value, the capability information value of the second device is the third value, and the transmission connection of the second data frame is not the first connection, then when the second data frame is an uplink data frame, the duration value of the network allocation vector of the first device on the first connection is determined to be 0, and the network allocation vector under the first connection is set to idle; when the second data frame is a downlink data frame, the duration value of the network allocation vector of the first device on the first connection is determined to be the frame length of the second data frame, and the network allocation vector under the first connection is set to busy. In this way, the first device needs to wait for the frame length of the second data frame to continue to sense the access channel.

[0117] In some embodiments, setting the network allocation vector of the first device in the first connection according to the capability information value of the first device and the capability information value of the second device includes:

[0118] In the case where the capability information value of the first device is the second value, if the capability information value of the second device is the first value, and the transmission connection of the second data frame is not the first connection, then when the second data frame is an uplink data frame, determine that the duration value of the network allocation vector of the first device on the first connection is 0, and set the network allocation vector under the first connection to idle; when the second data frame is a downlink data frame, determine that the duration value of the network allocation vector of the first device on the first connection is the frame length of the second data frame, and set the network allocation vector under the first connection to busy; wherein, the second data frame is a data frame sent by the second device perceived by the first device.

[0119] Therefore, when a first device sends a first data frame over one of multiple connections, it obtains the capability information value of the second device over the multiple connections. If the capability information value of the first device is the second value, the capability information value of the second device is the first value, and the transmission connection of the second data frame is not the first connection, the duration value of the network allocation vector of the first device on the first connection is determined to be 0, and the network allocation vector of the first connection is set to idle. In this way, the first device does not interfere with the second device.

[0120] In some embodiments, setting the network allocation vector of the first device in the first connection according to the capability information value of the first device and the capability information value of the second device includes:

[0136] It is determined, according to a first preset bit carried in a signal field in the second data frame, whether the data frame of the second device is an uplink data frame or a downlink data frame.
