Description

Background Art

[0002] At present, there are many wireless LAN implementation protocols, the most famous and widely used is the WI-FI (Wireless-Fidelity) protocol. 802.11ax is the latest wireless LAN standard launched in recent years. Compared with the previous generation of technology, it supports both 2.4G and 5G frequency bands, and obtains greater wireless capacity and reliability by applying denser modulation, reducing subcarrier spacing (78.125kHZ) and scheduling-based resource allocation.

[0003] According to the TCP (Transmission Control Protocol), application layer data must be frequently confirmed at the transport layer during communication to ensure reliable data transmission. However, the ACK (Acknowledgement) message used for confirmation is very short, and the efficiency of transmitting ACK messages is relatively low, which will bring more conflicts and congestion to the wireless LAN. In other words, the TCP transmission mechanism itself limits the data throughput in the wireless LAN to a certain extent.

[0004] In related technologies, rate adaptive algorithms can be used to dynamically adjust the transmission rate. The physical layer of the IEEE802.11 wireless network supports many different modulation and coding methods. Selecting the appropriate transmission rate according to different wireless channel conditions can effectively improve the throughput of network nodes. The mainstream rate adaptive algorithms include the following:

[0005] (1) Rate adaptation algorithm based on ACK (acknowledgement) feedback confirmation frame error rate.

[0006] (2) Rate adaptation algorithm based on channel signal noise ratio (SNR).

[0007] (3) This type of algorithm measures the entire wireless channel condition based on the SNR fed back by the receiver to the transmitter, and can respond quickly to channel changes.

[0008] The existing channel switching scheme not only requires additional overhead to transmit information, but also limits the improvement of throughput. In addition, when data frames collide and are lost, it will also cause adverse effects on the rate adaptation algorithm, making the channel switching scheme unreliable.

[0009] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the above background technology section is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of the present disclosure, and therefore may include information that does not constitute the prior art known to ordinary technicians in the field.

[0036] Figure 1 A schematic diagram showing an exemplary system architecture to which a positioning method or a positioning device according to an embodiment of the present invention can be applied is shown.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, the system architecture 100 may include one or more of terminal devices 101, 102, 103, a network 104, and a server 105. The network 104 is used to provide a medium for communication links between the terminal devices 101, 102, 103 and the server 105. The network 104 may include various connection types, such as wired, wireless communication links, or optical fiber cables, etc.

[0038] It should be understood that Figure 1 The number of terminal devices, networks and servers in the embodiment is only for illustration. According to the implementation requirements, there may be any number of terminal devices, networks and servers. For example, the server 105 may be a server cluster composed of multiple servers.

[0039] Users can use terminal devices 101, 102, 103 to interact with server 105 through network 104 to receive or send messages, etc. Terminal devices 101, 102, 103 can be various electronic devices with display screens, including but not limited to smart phones, tablet computers, portable computers, desktop computers, etc.

[0040] In some embodiments, the positioning method provided in the embodiments of the present invention is generally performed by the terminal 105, and accordingly, the positioning device is generally arranged in the terminal device 103 (or the terminal device 101 or 102). In other embodiments, some servers may have functions similar to those of the terminal device to perform the method. Therefore, the positioning method provided in the embodiments of the present invention is not limited to being performed in the terminal device.

[0041] The exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0042] Figure 2 is a flow chart of a method for managing a communication channel in an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0043] refer to Figure 2 , the communication channel management method may include:

[0044] Step S202: detecting a collision rate of two communication channels of the terminal, where the two communication channels have different frequencies.

[0045] Step S204: Determine that the communication channel with a higher collision rate among the two communication channels is used to transmit the first type of messages.

[0046] Step S206: Determine which of the two communication channels has the lower collision rate and use it to transmit the second type of messages.

[0047] Step S208: determining whether to switch the communication channel according to the collision rate of transmitting the first type of messages and the collision rate of transmitting the second type of messages.

[0048] The embodiment of the present disclosure reduces data conflicts during wireless communication and improves the throughput, reliability and continuity of the wireless communication network by determining that the communication channel with a higher collision rate among the two communication channels is used to transmit a first type of message, and determining that the communication channel with a lower collision rate among the two communication channels is used to transmit a second type of message, and determining whether to switch the communication channels based on the collision rate for transmitting the first type of message and the collision rate for transmitting the second type of message.

[0049] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the first type of messages are data messages, and the second type of messages are ACK messages.

[0050] Specifically, the MAC layer protocol used in wireless LAN is CSMA / CA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access / Collision Avoidance). In this protocol, a node must monitor the channel before sending a data frame. If the channel is idle, it can send after waiting for a period of DIFS (Distributed Inter-frame Spacing). If the channel is busy, it needs to randomly back off for a period of time before detecting again. This is done to actively avoid collisions. The protocol uses a stop-and-wait mechanism. After the source node sends a data frame, it needs to wait for the ACK response from the receiving node, so that a frame of data is considered to have been transmitted. In order to minimize the probability of collisions and the impact of collisions, the 802.11 standard allows stations that want to send data to reserve channels. Before sending data frames, an RTS (Require To Send) frame is sent. The frame contains the source address, destination address and the time required for this communication. After receiving the CTS (Clear To Send) frame from the destination station, the channel reservation is realized.

[0051] Next, each step of the communication channel management method is described in detail.

[0052] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 3 As shown, the collision rate of two communication channels of the detection terminal includes:

[0053] Step S302: detecting a collision rate of a first communication channel between a first network card of the terminal and an access terminal within a first preset time period.

[0054] Step S304: detecting a collision rate of a second communication channel between the second network card of the terminal and the access end within the first preset time period, the communication channel including the first communication channel and the second communication channel.

[0055] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal is equipped with two wireless network cards, and the two frequency points are respectively connected to the two network cards of the terminal to form two transmission channels. All TCP sessions between the terminal and the AP use these two channels at the same time, wherein TCP data first-class messages and ACK first-class messages are each transmitted using different channels.

[0056] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 4 As shown, determining whether to switch the communication channel according to the collision rate of transmitting the first type of messages and the collision rate of transmitting the second type of messages includes:

[0057] Step S402, determine whether the collision rate of transmitting the first type of message is less than or equal to the preset collision rate, and determine whether the collision rate of transmitting the second type of message is less than or equal to the preset collision rate. If so, execute step S404, if not, execute step S406.

[0058] Step S404: if it is determined that the collision rate of transmitting the first type of message is less than or equal to the preset collision rate, and it is determined that the collision rate of transmitting the second type of message is less than or equal to the preset collision rate, it is determined not to switch the communication channel.

[0059] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 4 As shown, determining whether to switch the communication channel according to the collision rate of transmitting the first type of messages and the collision rate of transmitting the second type of messages also includes:

[0060] Step S402: determining whether the collision rate of transmitting the first type of messages is less than or equal to a preset collision rate, and determining whether the collision rate of transmitting the second type of messages is less than or equal to the preset collision rate.

[0061] Step S406, if it is determined that the collision rate of transmitting the first type of message is greater than the preset collision rate, or it is determined that the collision rate of transmitting the second type of message is greater than the preset collision rate, then determine whether the communication channel is switched based on the collision rate difference between the collision rate of transmitting the first type of message and the collision rate of transmitting the second type of message.

[0062] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the preset collision rate may be 40%.

[0063] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 5 As shown, if it is determined that the collision rate of transmitting the first type of message is greater than the preset collision rate, or it is determined that the collision rate of transmitting the second type of message is greater than the preset collision rate, then determining whether the communication channel is switched according to the collision rate difference between the collision rate of transmitting the first type of message and the collision rate of transmitting the second type of message includes:

[0064] Step S502: If it is determined that the collision rate of transmitting the first type of message is greater than the preset collision rate, or if it is determined that the collision rate of transmitting the second type of message is greater than the preset collision rate, then the collision rate difference between the collision rate of transmitting the first type of message and the collision rate of transmitting the second type of message is calculated.

[0065] Step S504: comparing the collision rate difference with a preset collision rate difference.

[0066] Step S506: determining whether the communication channel is to be switched according to the magnitude relationship between the collision rate difference and the preset collision rate difference.

[0067] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the preset collision rate difference may be 20%.

[0068] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 6 As shown, determining whether the communication channel is to be switched according to the magnitude relationship between the collision rate difference and the preset collision rate difference includes:

[0069] Step S602: If it is determined that the collision rate difference is greater than the preset collision rate difference, then it is determined that the communication channel is switched.

[0070] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 6 As shown, determining whether the communication channel is to be switched according to the magnitude relationship between the collision rate difference and the preset collision rate difference includes:

[0071] Step S604: If it is determined that the collision rate difference is less than or equal to the preset collision rate difference, it is determined that the communication channel is not switched.

[0072] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 7 As shown, there is an access point AP702, a terminal 708 equipped with dual network cards and a channel control center 710 in the wireless local area network.

[0073] Among them, AP 702 can support communication with terminal 708 on two frequencies f1 and f2 at the same time. Each terminal 708 is equipped with two wireless network cards, namely network card 1 704 and network card 2 706. The two frequencies are respectively connected to the two network cards of the terminal 708 to form two transmission channels, which are respectively recorded as the channel of frequency f1 and the channel of frequency f2. All TCP sessions between a terminal 708 and AP 702 use these two channels at the same time, wherein TCP data packets and ACK packets are transmitted using different channels respectively.

[0074] The datagram generated by the upper layer application of terminal 708 is sent out through network card 1 704 or network card 2 706, AP 702 sends the datagram through the channel of frequency f1 or the channel of frequency f2, and terminal 708 sends the data packets received from the two network cards to the upper layer application through the virtual switch (v-switch) software.

[0075] Channel control center 710 makes channel switching decisions for TCP data packets and ACK packets transmitted between AP 702 and terminal 708 according to the channel congestion information reported by AP 702, and instructs TCP data packets and ACK packets to switch to the channels originally used by TCP data packets and ACK packets for transmission when necessary.

[0076] The workflow of the system for implementing the communication channel management solution disclosed above is as follows:

[0077] (1) AP 702 uses two frequencies f1 and f2 to connect to network card 1 704 and network card 2 706 of terminal 708 respectively, continuously counts the collision rate of the two channels, and reports to channel control center 710 at regular intervals.

[0078] (2) Channel control center 710 transmits control information to AP 702 and terminal 708 based on the information reported by AP 702, so that TCP data packets are transmitted on a channel with a small collision rate, and TCP ACK packets are transmitted on a channel with a large collision rate.

[0079] For example, at a specified time, the collision rate of channel f1 is less than the collision rate of channel f2. Then, after receiving the control information, AP 702 identifies the TCP datagram from the external network, changes the destination IP address to the IP of network card 1 704, and then transmits it on channel f1. When it identifies the ACK message from the external network, it changes the destination IP address to the IP of network card 2 706 and transmits it on channel f2.

[0080] The same is true for the terminal 708. The data packets of the network card 1 704 and the network card 2 706 are uniformly processed by the v-switch and then forwarded to the terminal 708. When sending data, the v-switch identifies the TCP data message and forwards it to the network card 1 704. When identifying the TCP ACK message, it forwards it to the network card 2 706. The AP 702 counts the collision rate on the two channels every T seconds and sends the collision information to the channel control center 710.

[0081] Furthermore, the channel control center 710 determines whether to switch channels according to the collision information of the last T seconds in accordance with the following rules: channel switching is performed when and only when the collision rate of any channel exceeds a certain set threshold α and the absolute value of the difference between the collision rates of the two channels is greater than a certain set threshold β. At this time, the channel control center 710 sends a channel switching signaling to control the AP 702 and the terminal 708 to switch channels.

[0082] like Figure 8As shown, data communication is performed within the wireless network between the terminal 802 and the AP 804, TCP data packets are transmitted through the channel of frequency f1, and ACK packets are transmitted through the channel of frequency f2. After channel switching is performed according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, TCP data packets are transmitted through the channel of frequency f2, and ACK packets are transmitted through the channel of frequency f1.

[0083] Specifically, AP 804 connects to the two network cards of terminal 802 through two frequencies. During the authentication process of establishing the connection, AP 804 will recognize that the IP addresses of the two network cards belong to the same device, and establish a mapping relationship between terminal 802 and its two IP addresses in the operation data of AP 804. TCP datagrams are transmitted to network card 1 on the channel of frequency f1, and TCP ACK packets are transmitted to network card 2 on the channel of frequency f2. When AP 804 receives TCP datagrams from the external network, it changes the destination IP address to network card 1, and when it receives ACK from the external network, it changes the destination IP address to network card 2. AP 804 continuously monitors the collision rate of data packets on the two frequency channels, and transmits channel congestion information to the channel switching control management center every 2 seconds.

[0084] Terminal 802 with dual network cards deploys v-switch software to integrate the TCP data received by the two network cards. The channel of frequency f1 is connected to network card 1 to transmit TCP datagrams, and the channel of frequency f2 is connected to network card 2 to transmit TCP ACK packets. v-switch adopts a strategy of full acceptance for the data packets transmitted by the two network cards. For the TCP data transmitted from terminal 802, the TCP data packet is forwarded to network card 1 according to the type of the data packet, and the TCP ACK is forwarded to network card 2. Network card 1 and network card 2 transmit their respective datagrams on their respective wireless channels.

[0085] The channel control center decides on channel switching based on the channel congestion status in the previous 2 seconds reported by AP 804. Channel switching is possible only when the collision rate of any channel is higher than 40%. It is recommended to set this parameter between 35% and 55%. This parameter is the absolute limit for channel switching.

[0086] If the channel collision rate is low, there is no need to switch channels. If the value is set too high, the sensitivity of channel switching will decrease and users will experience obvious network lag. When the collision rate of any channel is higher than 40%, channel switching will be relatively restricted. When the collision rate of the TCP datagram transmission channel is 20% higher than that of another channel, channel switching will be performed. It is recommended to set this parameter between 10% and 20%. If the value is set too small, it will cause channel switching to be too frequent and according to practice, if the collision rates of two channels are similar, there is no need to switch channels. If the value is set too large, channel switching will be sluggish and users will experience obvious network lag.

[0087] The embodiments of the present disclosure not only change the transmission mode of data and data ACK of a terminal 802 in the same channel, that is, use a terminal 802 configured with dual network cards to establish channels with different APs 804, but also allow data and data ACK to be transmitted in different channels, thereby greatly improving the TCP throughput in the WLAN.

[0088] Corresponding to the above method embodiments, the present disclosure also provides a communication channel management device, which can be used to execute the above method embodiments.
