Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of wireless communication technology, and more specifically to a relay method and system for point-to-multipoint network communication. Background Technology

[0002] The characteristics of radio wave propagation are the first problem encountered when studying any wireless communication system. The characteristics of the wireless propagation environment are not only the foundation of all theoretical research in wireless communication, but also directly relate to a series of system design issues in engineering design, such as the capabilities of communication equipment, the determination of antenna height, the calculation of communication distance, and the technical measures that must be adopted to achieve high-quality and reliable communication.

[0003] The wireless propagation environment is one that changes over time, depending on environmental factors and other external conditions. Radio waves not only experience diffusion loss as the propagation distance increases, but they are also affected by terrain and buildings, resulting in a "shadowing effect." This can cause terminal devices to fail to receive the signal waveform emitted by the base station, leading to a loss of communication links and a severe deterioration in system communication performance.

[0004] Therefore, how to provide a relay method and system for point-to-multipoint network communication is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0052] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0053] This invention discloses a relay method for point-to-multipoint network communication, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes:

[0054] In PMP network communication mode, according to the PMP network system frame structure, the second and third slave stations communicate with the master station simultaneously, while the slave stations do not communicate with each other. At the same time, it is detected whether the second and third slave stations have left the network. The slave station that has left the network becomes an unknown node and re-enters the network. The slave station that has left the network receives information from both the master station and the slave stations that have not left the network.

[0055] The network enters relay communication mode. According to the relay system frame structure, the slave stations that have not left the network are regarded as relay nodes, the master station is regarded as the central node, and the slave stations that have left the network are regarded as remote nodes. The communication link is that the central node communicates with the relay node, and the relay node communicates with the remote node.

[0056] In relay communication mode, both relay nodes and remote nodes perform timed synchronization and frequency synchronization. After synchronization is completed, relay nodes and remote nodes adjust their transmission time slots respectively. After the entire network completes the transmission time adjustment, it enters the relay data communication stage.

[0057] In this embodiment, the specific steps for detecting whether the second and third slave stations are out of the network are as follows:

[0058] Calculate the channel quality of the second slave station and the master station, as well as the channel quality of the third slave station and the master station, including the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and the error vector magnitude (EVM). Where S is the average signal power and N is the average noise power. I k Q is the theoretical value for in-phase of the k-th symbol; k This is the theoretical value for the orthogonal phase (90° offset) of the k-th symbol; This is the in-phase estimate of the k-th symbol; is the quadrature phase estimate of the k-th symbol; N is the input vector length. Simultaneously, the signal-to-noise ratio threshold SNR_TH and the error vector amplitude threshold EVM_TH are set.

[0059] Judge the signal quality received by the second slave station and the third slave station: If the SNR of the second slave station or the third slave station > SNR_TH and the EVM < EVM_TH, the communication is normal. If the SNR ≤ SNR_TH and the EVM ≥ EVM_TH, the communication quality is poor and it will leave the network. SNR is the signal-to-noise ratio of the second slave station or the third slave station, and EVM is the error vector magnitude value of the second slave station or the third slave station.

[0060] More specifically, for example: If the signal quality received by the second slave station is: SNR2 > SNR_TH and EVM2 < EVM_TH, the communication of the second slave station is normal; If the signal quality received by the third slave station is: SNR3 ≤ SNR_TH and EVM3 ≥ EVM_TH, the communication quality of the third slave station is poor and it will leave the network. The third slave station becomes an unknown node and re-enters the network, and at the same time receives information from the master station and the second slave station.

[0061] In this embodiment, as Figure 5 shown, the slave station 2 marked in the attached figure is the second slave station, and the slave station 3 is the third slave station. The relay node and the remote node both perform timing synchronization and frequency synchronization. First, perform timing synchronization, and then perform frequency synchronization. The specific steps are as follows:

[0062] When the relay node communicates with the central node, the relay node is timed and synchronized to the central node, and synchronization window opening and tracking processing are performed;

[0063] When the remote node communicates with the relay node, the remote node is timed and synchronized to the relay node, and synchronization window opening and tracking processing are performed. The synchronization window opening meets the time delay of the maximum transmission distance of d km. N is the number of points of the synchronization window opening, f s is the sampling rate, v is the speed of light 3e 8 m / s, and d is the transmission distance;

[0064] The relay node and the central node perform frequency synchronization. The receiving end and the transmitting end of the central node do not perform frequency offset estimation and compensation processing. The receiving end of the relay node performs frequency offset estimation and compensation processing. The frequency offset estimation value is Δf2. The transmitting end of the relay node performs frequency offset correction of the transmitted data with the frequency offset estimation value Δf2 of the receiving end of the relay node;

[0065] The remote node and the relay node perform frequency synchronization. The receiving end and the transmitting end of the relay node do not perform frequency offset estimation and compensation processing. The receiving end of the remote node performs frequency offset estimation and compensation processing. The frequency offset estimation value is Δf3. The transmitting end of the remote node performs frequency offset correction of the transmitted data with the frequency offset estimation value Δf3 of the receiving end of the remote node.

[0066] It should be noted that in relay transmission mode, relay nodes periodically synchronize with the central node, and remote nodes periodically synchronize with the relay nodes. They are allocated different time slot resources and each uses its own time slot for periodic synchronization. However, each node only performs periodic synchronization with the remote node when it cannot receive information from the central node. Similarly, relay nodes synchronize frequencies with the central node, and remote nodes synchronize frequencies with the relay nodes. They are allocated different time slot resources and each uses its own time slot for frequency synchronization. However, each node only performs frequency synchronization with the remote node when it cannot receive information from the central node.

[0067] In this embodiment, as Figure 6 As shown, the specific steps for adjusting the transmission time slots of the relay node and the remote node are as follows:

[0068] When a relay node communicates with a central node, the relay node adjusts its signal transmission time slot based on the ranging information received from the central node.

[0069] When a relay node communicates with a remote node, the relay node receives signals from the remote node. The synchronization window of the relay node satisfies a distance of d km. The relay node calculates the difference between the peak position d1 of the received synchronization signal and the peak position d2 of the synchronization signal in the stationary state, and records it as d. is =d1-d2 and return it to the remote node. The remote node receives the distance information d. is The distance measurement value variable is calculated, and the remote node adjusts the transmission time slot according to the distance measurement value variable. The entire network completes the transmission time adjustment and enters the relay data communication stage.

[0079] The relay system frame structure is used to allocate time slots for the central node, relay nodes, remote nodes, and ranging during data transmission in relay communication mode. For example... Figure 4 As shown, in the relay communication mode, the system is configured with time slots [0:4], where time slot [0] represents the data time slot sent by the central node (master station) to the relay node, time slot [1] represents the data time slot sent by the relay node to the remote node, time slot [2] represents the distance measurement time slot between the relay node and the central node, time slot [3] represents the data time slot sent by the remote node to the relay node, and time slot [4] represents the data time slot sent by the relay node to the central node. The distance measurement between the remote node and the relay node is carried out through the distance protection of the time slots.

The remote node receives the distance information d. is The distance measurement value variable is calculated, and the remote node adjusts the transmission time slot according to the distance measurement value variable. The entire network completes the transmission time adjustment and enters the relay data communication stage.

5. A relay system for point-to-multipoint network communication according to claim 4, characterized in that, The specific steps for detecting whether the second slave station and the third slave station have left the network are as follows: Calculate the channel quality between the second slave station and the master station and the channel quality between the third slave station and the master station, including the signal-to-noise ratio SNR and the error vector magnitude value EVM. At the same time, set the signal-to-noise ratio threshold SNR_TH and the error vector magnitude threshold EVM_TH; Judge the quality of the signals received by the second slave station and the third slave station: If the SNR of the second slave station or the third slave station > SNR_TH and EVM < EVM_TH, the communication is normal. If SNR ≤ SNR_TH and EVM ≥ EVM_TH, the communication quality is poor and it has left the network. SNR is the signal-to-noise ratio of the second slave station or the third slave station, and EVM is the error vector magnitude value of the second slave station or the third slave station.
