Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a data transmission system, method and related equipment. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of technology, more and more smart devices (such as mobile phones, portable devices, and speakers) have entered homes. These smart devices in homes typically use mainstream access methods (such as Wi-Fi) to connect to routers to obtain network services.

[0003] However, with the increasing number of Wi-Fi access devices and the diversification of services (such as games, movies, social networking, etc.), competition for Wi-Fi bandwidth resources in the home has become very fierce, which has also led to relatively slow data transmission via Wi-Fi.

[0004] Therefore, improving data transmission efficiency under the condition of limited Wi-Fi bandwidth resources is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This application discloses a data transmission system, method, and related equipment, which can solve the technical problem in the prior art of how to improve data transmission efficiency when Wi-Fi bandwidth resources are limited.

[0006] The first aspect of this application discloses a data transmission system, which includes an electronic device, a routing device, and a server, wherein: the electronic device is configured to acquire uplink service data packets of a compressible application (APP) on a link; determine whether the uplink service data packet is a compressible data packet; if the uplink service data packet is a compressible data packet, transmit the five-tuple information of the link to the routing device via a private link; compress the uplink service data packet to obtain a first compressed data packet, and transmit the first compressed data packet to the routing device via a wireless network; the routing device is configured to configure link rules according to the five-tuple information; determine whether the link transmitting the first compressed data packet matches the link rules; if the first compressed data packet is compressed, the routing device is configured to... The data packet is matched with the link rule, and the first compressed data packet is decompressed to obtain an uplink service data packet; the uplink service data packet is transmitted to the server; the server is used to receive the uplink service data packet transmitted by the routing device; the server is also used to transmit downlink service data packets to the routing device; the routing device is also used to determine whether the link transmitting the downlink service data packet matches the link rule; if the downlink service data packet matches the link rule, the downlink service data packet is compressed to obtain a second compressed data packet; the second compressed data packet is transmitted to the electronic device through the wireless network; the electronic device is also used to decompress the second compressed data packet to obtain a downlink service data packet.

[0007] In this application, uplink and downlink data packets are transmitted between electronic devices, routing devices, and servers. Compressed data packets are transmitted between electronic devices and routing devices via a wireless network, and the link's five-tuple information is transmitted via a private link. This communication method bypasses the heavy TCP / IP protocol stack, reduces CPU consumption, and provides more CPU computing power to other applications of IoT devices, resulting in smoother processing and response. It also reduces data packet forwarding latency and inter-IoT device forwarding latency, providing users with a high-speed connection experience. Furthermore, the transmission of compressed data packets improves the utilization of Wi-Fi physical bandwidth, saves TCP / IP protocol stack headers, provides more physical bandwidth to upper-layer applications, and also improves data packet transmission efficiency.

[0008] A second aspect of this application discloses a data transmission method applied to an electronic device. The data transmission method includes: acquiring uplink service data packets of a compressible application (APP) on a link; determining whether the uplink service data packets are compressible data packets; if the uplink service data packets are compressible data packets, transmitting the five-tuple information of the link to a routing device through a private link; compressing the uplink service data packets to obtain a first compressed data packet, and transmitting the first compressed data packet to the routing device through a wireless network.

[0009] In this application, after the electronic device identifies the uplink service data packet as a compressible data packet, it compresses the uplink service data packet and transmits the compressed first compressed data packet to the routing device via the wireless network. This improves the physical bandwidth utilization of the wireless network, saves TCP / IP protocol stack headers, provides more physical bandwidth for upper-layer applications, and also improves data packet transmission efficiency. Furthermore, the communication method between the electronic device and the routing device, which transmits compressed data packets via the wireless network and transmits the link's five-tuple information via a private link, bypasses the cumbersome TCP / IP protocol stack, reduces CPU consumption, and provides more CPU computing power for other applications of the IoT device.

[0010] In some optional implementations, determining whether the uplink service data packet is a compressible data packet includes: parsing the uplink service data packet to obtain the connection establishment request field carried by the uplink service data packet; determining whether the service type of the uplink service data packet is a compressible service type based on the connection establishment request field; and determining that the uplink service data packet is a compressible data packet if the service type of the uplink service data packet is a compressible service type.

[0011] In some optional implementations, the uplink service data packet includes multiple compressed probe packets, and determining whether the uplink service data packet is a compressible data packet includes: for each compressed probe packet, obtaining a first length of the compressed probe packet; calculating a second length of the compressed probe packet; determining whether the second length satisfies the requirements of a first evaluation formula based on the first length; if the second length satisfies the requirements of the first evaluation formula, counting a first number of the multiple compressed probe packets and a second number of compressed probe packets that satisfy the requirements of the first evaluation formula; determining whether the second number satisfies the requirements of a second evaluation formula based on the first number; and if the second number satisfies the requirements of the second evaluation formula, determining that the uplink service data packet is a compressible data packet.

[0012] In some optional embodiments, the first evaluation formula is: compLen < orgLen * 1 / T, where T is a compression evaluation coefficient, T >= 2, orgLen is the first length, and compLen is the second length; the second evaluation formula is: N / M > Threshold, where M is the first quantity, N is the second quantity, and Threshold is an evaluation threshold value.

[0013] In some optional embodiments, the data transmission method further includes: receiving a second compressed data packet transmitted by the routing device through the wireless network; decompressing the second compressed data packet to obtain a downlink service data packet.

[0014] A third aspect of this application discloses a data transmission method, which is applied to a routing device. The data transmission method includes: receiving five-tuple information transmitted by an electronic device through a private link and a first compressed data packet transmitted through a wireless network; configuring a link rule according to the five-tuple information; determining whether the link for transmitting the first compressed data packet matches the link rule; if the first compressed data packet matches the link rule, decompressing the first compressed data packet to obtain an uplink service data packet; and transmitting the uplink service data packet to a server.

[0015] In this application, the routing device can configure a link rule according to the received five-tuple information, and determine whether the received data packet is a compressible data packet according to the link rule. If so, it performs decompression processing and transmits the decompressed data packet to the server. In addition, the routing device can also determine whether the data packet received from the server is a compressible data packet according to the link rule and perform corresponding processing. The communication method of the entire process bypasses the heavy TCP / IP protocol stack, reduces CPU consumption, provides more CPU computing power for other applications of the IOT device. At the same time, by compressing the data packet, it can improve the physical bandwidth utilization rate of the wireless network, save the TCP / IP protocol stack packet header, provide more physical bandwidth for the upper-layer application, and also improve the transmission efficiency of the data packet.

[0016] In some optional embodiments, the data transmission method further includes: receiving a downlink service data packet sent by the server; determining whether the link for transmitting the downlink service data packet matches the link rule; if the downlink service data packet matches the link rule, compressing the downlink service data packet to obtain a second compressed data packet; and transmitting the second compressed data packet to the electronic device through the wireless network.

[0026] The embodiments of this application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] To better understand the data transmission system, method, and related equipment disclosed in the embodiments of this application, the network architecture applicable to the embodiments of this application will be described first below.

[0028] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the framework of a data transmission system disclosed in an embodiment of this application. Figure 1 As shown, the data transmission system includes electronic devices, routing devices, and servers, wherein:

[0029] The electronic device includes multiple applications (APPs), a VPN (Virtual Private Network) module, and an acceleration module. APPs include, for example, APP1, APP2, APP3, APP4, and APP5. The electronic device can intercept data packets sent by these APPs through the VPN module. The acceleration module may include a compressible service identification submodule, a compression / decompression submodule, and a private client. The compressible service identification submodule is used to identify which data packets intercepted by the VPN are compressible and which are incompressible. Once the compressible service identification submodule identifies compressible data packets, the compression / decompression submodule can then perform compression / decompression processing on these data packets.

[0030] The routing device includes an acceleration module, a link rule module, and a kernel TCP / IP (Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol) protocol stack forwarding processing module. The acceleration module may include a private server and a compression / decompression submodule. A private client on the electronic device and a private server on the routing device can form a private link. This private link is used to transmit the five-tuple information of the data packet link (i.e., source IP address, destination IP address, protocol number, source port, and destination port). This five-tuple information indicates that the data packets on the link are compressed. The link rule module is used to configure link rules based on the five-tuple information, matching them with the links transmitting data packets. When the link transmitting data packets does not match the link rules, no further compression / decompression processing is performed; the packets are directly forwarded through the kernel TCP / IP protocol stack forwarding processing module in the normal manner.

[0031] Routing devices can transmit data packets to servers via broadband or 4G / 5G mobile communication networks.

[0032] based on Figure 1 The data transmission system shown in this application, wherein the electronic device is used to acquire uplink service data packets of a compressible application (APP) on a link; determine whether the uplink service data packet is a compressible data packet; if the uplink service data packet is a compressible data packet, transmit the five-tuple information of the link to the routing device through a private link; compress the uplink service data packet to obtain a first compressed data packet, and transmit the first compressed data packet to the routing device through a wireless network;

[0033] The routing device is configured to: configure link rules based on the five-tuple information; determine whether the link transmitting the first compressed data packet matches the link rules; if the first compressed data packet matches the link rules, decompress the first compressed data packet to obtain an uplink service data packet; and transmit the uplink service data packet to the server.

[0034] The server is used to receive the uplink service data packets transmitted by the routing device;

[0035] The server is also used to transmit downlink service data packets to the routing device;

[0036] The routing device is further configured to determine whether the link transmitting the downlink service data packet matches the link rule; if the downlink service data packet matches the link rule, the downlink service data packet is compressed to obtain a second compressed data packet; the second compressed data packet is transmitted to the electronic device through the wireless network;

[0037] The electronic device is also used to decompress the second compressed data packet to obtain a downlink service data packet.

[0038] In this application, uplink and downlink transmission of data packets are performed between electronic devices, routing devices, and servers. Data transmission of data packets from electronic devices through routing devices to servers is called uplink transmission, and data transmission of data packets from servers through routing devices to electronic devices is called downlink transmission.

[0039] Electronic devices and routing devices transmit compressed data packets via wireless networks (such as Wi-Fi) and link 5-tuple information via private links. This communication method bypasses the heavy TCP / IP protocol stack, reducing the consumption of the central processing unit (CPU) and providing more CPU computing power to other applications of IoT (Internet of Things) devices. This results in smoother processing response, reduced packet forwarding latency, and reduced forwarding latency between IoT devices, providing users with a high-speed connection experience. Furthermore, the transmission of compressed data packets improves the physical bandwidth utilization of the wireless network, saves TCP / IP protocol stack headers, provides more physical bandwidth to upper-layer applications, and also improves data packet transmission efficiency.

[0040] based on Figure 1 The data transmission system is illustrated in the following schematic diagram. The data transmission method involved in the embodiments of this application is described below.

[0041] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 2This is a flowchart illustrating a data transmission method disclosed in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 The data transmission method shown is applied as described above. Figure 1 In the electronic device shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0042] S21. The electronic device acquires the uplink service data packets of the compressible application (APP) on the link.

[0043] In this application, an electronic device can intercept uplink data packets of a compressible application (APP) on a link via a built-in VPN (Virtual Private Network). The compressible application (APP) is an application that can be compressed, and the uplink data packets are data packets transmitted from the electronic device to the server.

[0044] Among them, the Android system comes with a VPN service, which can be configured by setting a whitelist for specific compressible APK (Android application package) names, and can proxy the data packets of the corresponding application.

[0045] In this application, it is possible to pre-configure which apps are compressible on the VPN. Some data packets from these configured compressible apps are compressible, while others are not. For example, encryption / decryption data packets are not compressible, while image data packets are. Data packets generated by compressible apps configured on the VPN can be intercepted by the VPN, while data packets generated by apps not configured on the VPN are transmitted via normal paths, such as through a wireless network (WiFi).

[0046] S22. The electronic device determines whether the uplink service data packet is a compressible data packet. If yes, proceed to step S23; otherwise, proceed to step S27.

[0047] In this application, the electronic device is equipped with a compressible service identification module. After the VPN intercepts the uplink service data packets, the compressible service identification module can be used to identify which data packets in the uplink service data packets are compressible and which are incompressible.

[0048] Specifically, there are several ways to determine whether the uplink service data packet is a compressible data packet. The first is to identify it by the fields carried in the data packet, and the second is to identify it by the set evaluation formula.

[0049] In some optional implementations, determining whether the uplink service data packet is a compressible data packet includes:

[0050] Parse the uplink service data packet to obtain the connection establishment request field carried by the uplink service data packet;

[0051] Based on the connection establishment request field, determine whether the service type of the uplink service data packet is a compressible service type;

[0052] If the service type of the uplink service data packet is a compressible service type, then the uplink service data packet is determined to be a compressible data packet.

[0053] For standard protocols such as HTTP, the connection establishment request field carried by the uplink service data packet can be obtained by parsing the uplink service data packet. This connection establishment request field defines whether the service type corresponding to the uplink service data packet is a compressible service type. The service type can include, but is not limited to, web page requests, file download requests, etc. For example, taking a GET request field as an example, the GET request message format is as follows:

[0054] GET

[0055] / 16891 / apk / 63E9F5D4732CB5FAEF30137136841713.apk? &fsname=com.ss.android.ugc.aweme_11.5.0_110501.apk HTTP / 1.1\r\n.

[0056] The GET request field can be used to obtain the requested content, such as .apk, .mp4, .docx, .txt, etc., and the service type of the data packet can be determined based on these formats.

[0057] In some optional implementations, the uplink service data packet includes multiple compression probe packets, and determining whether the uplink service data packet is a compressible data packet includes:

[0058] For each of the compression probe packets, obtain the first length of the compression probe packet;

[0059] Calculate the second length of the compressed probe packet after compression;

[0060] Based on the first length, determine whether the second length meets the requirements of the first evaluation formula;

[0061] If the second length satisfies the requirements of the first evaluation formula, count the first number of the multiple compression test packets and the second number of the compression test packets that satisfy the requirements of the first evaluation formula;

[0062] Based on the first quantity, determine whether the second quantity meets the requirements of the second evaluation formula;

[0063] If the second quantity meets the requirements of the second evaluation formula, the uplink service data packet is determined to be a compressible data packet.

[0064] The first evaluation formula is:

[0065] compLen <orgLen*1 / T

[0066] Where T is the compression evaluation coefficient, T>=2, orgLen is the first length, and compLen is the second length;

[0067] The second evaluation formula is:

[0068] N / M>Threshold

[0069] Where M is the first quantity, N is the second quantity, and Threshold is the evaluation threshold.

[0070] In this optional implementation, a "compressibility evaluation" needs to be performed on the uplink service data packets. The uplink service data packets include multiple compression probe packets. For each compression probe packet, a first length can be obtained, which is the length of the compression probe packet itself before compression. Further, a second length of the compressed compression probe packet can be calculated based on a compression technique (such as the lossless compression algorithm LZ4). Finally, the first length and the second length are substituted into a first evaluation formula, and it is determined whether the inequality requirements of the first evaluation formula are satisfied. If the inequality requirements of the first evaluation formula are satisfied, it indicates that the compression probe packet conforms to the compression standard.

[0071] Furthermore, since the uplink service data packet includes multiple compression probe packets, the fact that one compression probe packet meets the compression standard does not mean that other compression probe packets also meet the standard, nor does it mean that the uplink service data packet is compressible. Therefore, it is necessary to further count the second number of compression probe packets that meet the requirements of the first evaluation formula, and calculate, according to the second evaluation formula, whether the ratio of this second number to the first number of the multiple compression probe packets is greater than the evaluation threshold. If it is greater, it indicates that a large number of compression probe packets in the uplink service data packet meet the compression standard, and further indicates that the uplink service data packet is a compressible data packet.

[0072] The compression evaluation coefficient T and the evaluation threshold Threshold were both obtained in advance based on multiple experiments.

[0073] S23. The electronic device transmits the five-tuple information of the link to the routing device through a private link.

[0074] The 5-tuple information includes the source IP address, destination IP address, protocol number, source port, and destination port of the link. This 5-tuple information is used to identify that the uplink service data packets on this link are compressible data packets.

[0075] Specifically, the electronic device transmits the five-tuple information of the link to the private server on the routing device through a private client on the electronic device.

[0076] S24. The electronic device compresses the uplink service data packet to obtain a first compressed data packet, and transmits the first compressed data packet to the routing device through the wireless network.

[0077] In this application, the compression technology used can be the lossless compression algorithm LZ4. The wireless network can include, but is not limited to, Wireless Wide Area Network (WWAN), Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), Wireless Metropolitan Area Network (WMAN), and Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN).

[0078] S25. The electronic device receives the second compressed data packet transmitted by the routing device through the wireless network.

[0079] In this application, the electronic device and the server can also transmit data packets downlink through a routing device. The second compressed data packet is the downlink data packet that the server transmits to the electronic device through the routing device.

[0080] S26. The electronic device decompresses the second compressed data packet to obtain the downlink service data packet and ends the process.

[0081] S27. The electronic device sends the uplink service data packet to the routing device.

[0082] In this application, if the electronic device determines that the uplink service data packet is not a compressible data packet, it can process it in a conventional way without compressing the uplink service data packet, that is, directly send the uplink service data packet to the routing device through the wireless network.

[0083] exist Figure 2In the described method, after the electronic device identifies the uplink service data packet as a compressible data packet, it compresses the uplink service data packet and transmits the compressed first compressed data packet to the routing device via the wireless network. This improves the physical bandwidth utilization of the wireless network, saves TCP / IP protocol stack headers, provides more physical bandwidth for upper-layer applications, and also improves data packet transmission efficiency. Furthermore, the communication method between the electronic device and the routing device, which transmits compressed data packets via the wireless network and transmits the link's five-tuple information via a private link, bypasses the cumbersome TCP / IP protocol stack, reduces CPU consumption, and provides more CPU computing power for other applications of the IoT device.

[0084] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating another data transmission method disclosed in an embodiment of this application. Figure 3 The data transmission method shown is applied as described above. Figure 1 In the routing device shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0085] S31. The routing device receives the five-tuple information transmitted by the electronic device through the private link and the first compressed data packet transmitted through the wireless network.

[0086] The electronic device is equipped with a private client, and the routing device is equipped with a private server. The private client and the private server form a private link. The link's five-tuple information can be transmitted through the private link. The five-tuple information is used to identify that the data packets on the link are compressible data packets.

[0087] The first compressed data packet is the data packet compressed by the electronic device.

[0088] S32. The routing device configures link rules based on the five-tuple information.

[0089] In this application, after receiving the 5-tuple information, the routing device saves the 5-tuple information and then configures the 5-tuple information into the link rules.

[0090] The link rule can be an iptables rule. This link rule is mainly used to check the link through which data packets are transmitted. If the link rule is met, the packet is matched and subsequent compression / decompression processing is allowed. Conversely, if the link rule is not met, the packet is not matched and subsequent compression / decompression processing is rejected.

[0091] S33. The routing device determines whether the link transmitting the first compressed data packet matches the link rule. If yes, proceed to step S34; otherwise, no processing is performed.

[0092] In this application, if the routing device determines that the link transmitting the first compressed data packet matches the link rule, it indicates that the link carrying the first compressed data packet conforms to the link rule, and the link rule allows the first compressed data packet to pass so as to execute the subsequent decompression process. Conversely, if the routing device determines that the link transmitting the first compressed data packet does not match the link rule, it indicates that the link carrying the first compressed data packet does not conform to the link rule, and the link rule does not allow the first compressed data packet to pass.

[0093] Optionally, when the routing device determines that the link transmitting the first compressed data packet does not match the link rules, the routing device can also forward the first compressed data packet in a normal manner, such as forwarding it through the kernel protocol stack.

[0094] S34. The routing device decompresses the first compressed data packet to obtain the uplink service data packet.

[0095] The decompression technology used in this application can be referred to in the relevant description above, and will not be repeated here.

[0096] S35. The routing device transmits the uplink service data packet to the server.

[0097] The routing device can transmit the uplink service data packets to the server via broadband or 4G / 5G mobile communication networks.

[0098] S36. The routing device receives the downlink service data packets sent by the server.

[0099] In this application, the server can also send downlink service data packets to be transmitted to electronic devices to the routing device. These downlink service data packets can be compressed or uncompressed.

[0100] S37. The routing device determines whether the link transmitting the downlink service data packet matches the link rule. If yes, proceed to step S38; otherwise, no processing is performed.

[0101] Specifically, if the routing device determines that the link transmitting the downlink service data packet matches the link rule, it indicates that the downlink service data packet is a compressed data packet; conversely, if the routing device determines that the link transmitting the downlink service data packet does not match the link rule, it indicates that the downlink service data packet is not a compressed data packet.

[0102] Optionally, when the routing device determines that the link transmitting the downlink service data packet does not match the link rules, the routing device can also forward the first compressed data packet in a normal manner, such as forwarding it through the kernel protocol stack.

[0103] S38. The routing device compresses the downlink service data packets to obtain a second compressed data packet.

[0104] S39. The routing device transmits the second compressed data packet to the electronic device through the wireless network and ends the process.

[0105] exist Figure 3 In the described method, the routing device can configure link rules based on the received 5-tuple information and determine whether the received data packet is compressible according to the link rules. If so, it performs decompression processing and transmits the decompressed data packet to the server. Additionally, the routing device can also determine whether the data packet received from the server is compressible according to the link rules and process it accordingly. This communication method bypasses the heavy TCP / IP protocol stack, reduces CPU consumption, and provides more CPU computing power to other applications of the IoT device. Simultaneously, by compressing data packets, it improves the physical bandwidth utilization of the wireless network, saves TCP / IP protocol stack headers, provides more physical bandwidth to upper-layer applications, and also improves data packet transmission efficiency.

[0106] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a flowchart illustrating another data transmission method disclosed in an embodiment of this application. Figure 4 The data transmission method shown is applied as described above. Figure 1 In the illustrated electronic device, routing device, and server, the method includes the following steps:

[0107] S41. The electronic device acquires the uplink service data packets of the compressible application (APP) on the link.

[0108] S42. The electronic device determines whether the uplink service data packet is a compressible data packet.

[0109] S43. If the uplink service data packet is a compressible data packet, the electronic device will transmit the link's five-tuple information to the routing device through a private link.

[0110] S44. The electronic device compresses the upstream service data packet to obtain the first compressed data packet.

[0111] S45. The electronic device transmits the first compressed data packet to the routing device via the wireless network.

[0112] S46. The routing device configures link rules based on the five-tuple information.

[0113] S47. The routing device determines whether the link transmitting the first compressed data packet matches the link rules.

[0114] S48. If the link transmitting the first compressed data packet matches the link rules, the routing device decompresses the first compressed data packet to obtain the uplink service data packet.

[0115] S49. The routing device transmits the upstream service data packets to the server.

[0116] S410, The server transmits downlink service data packets to the routing device.

[0117] S411. The routing device determines whether the link transmitting downlink service data packets matches the link rules.

[0118] S412. If the link transmitting the downlink service data packet matches the link rules, the routing device compresses the downlink service data packet to obtain a second compressed data packet.

[0119] S413, The routing device transmits the second compressed data packet to the electronic device via the wireless network.

[0120] S414. The electronic device decompresses the second compressed data packet to obtain the downlink service data packet.

[0121] exist Figure 4 In the described process flow, uplink and downlink data packets are transmitted between electronic devices, routing devices, and servers. Compressed data packets are transmitted between electronic devices and routing devices via a wireless network, and the link's five-tuple information is transmitted via a private link. This communication method bypasses the heavy TCP / IP protocol stack, reducing CPU consumption and providing more CPU computing power to other applications on IoT devices, resulting in smoother processing and response. It also reduces data packet forwarding latency and inter-IoT device forwarding latency, providing users with a high-speed connection experience. Furthermore, the transmission of compressed data packets improves the physical bandwidth utilization of the wireless network, saves TCP / IP protocol stack headers, provides more physical bandwidth to upper-layer applications, and also improves data packet transmission efficiency.
