Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of wireless communication, and more specifically, to a channel contention method, apparatus, communication device, and storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of wireless LANs, different service types exist within the network, each with varying requirements for bandwidth, latency, and Quality of Service (QoS). The 802.11e protocol defines Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA), which grants higher-priority service data priority transmission and more bandwidth. Wireless communication devices typically support several service types, each corresponding to a different transmission queue. During the active signal access process, multiple transmission queues compete for channel access. Only the successful transmission queue gains access to the channel and can then transmit service data.

[0003] When multiple transmission queues compete for channel space, each transmission queue is configured with a fixed priority parameter to assign different priorities to different services. However, when the network load is high, configuring fixed priority parameters can cause high-priority transmission queues to compete for most of the bandwidth, resulting in a lack of flexibility and accuracy in bandwidth allocation among multiple transmission queues. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a channel contention method, apparatus, communication device, and storage medium to improve the problem of insufficient flexibility and accuracy in bandwidth allocation of multiple transmission queues in the prior art.

[0005] In a first aspect, this application provides a channel contention method, comprising: obtaining the current bandwidth parameter of a queue to be transmitted; wherein the current bandwidth parameter of the queue to be transmitted is the amount of data transmitted by the queue to be transmitted within a preset time period; adjusting the time slot parameter of the queue to be transmitted when the current bandwidth parameter and the target bandwidth parameter of the queue to be transmitted meet the adjustment conditions; wherein the time slot parameter is used to determine the priority parameter of the queue to be transmitted; and determining the priority parameter of the queue to be transmitted according to the adjusted time slot parameter, so that the queue to be transmitted performs channel contention according to the priority parameter.

[0006] In the above implementation process, the current bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent is first obtained, which represents the amount of data the queue will send within a preset time period. Then, based on the current bandwidth parameter and the target bandwidth parameter of the queue, it is determined whether the queue meets the adjustment conditions. When the queue meets the adjustment conditions, the time slot parameter of the queue is adjusted. After determining the adjusted time slot parameter, the priority parameter of the queue is determined based on the adjusted time slot parameter, thus achieving the adjustment of the priority parameter. Through this method, the priority parameter of the queue to be sent can be dynamically adjusted. The queue can then compete for channel access based on the adjusted priority parameter, thereby changing its ability in channel contention and adjusting its transmission bandwidth. Furthermore, since the time slot parameter can be generated by the clock signal in the network device, its accuracy can reach the microsecond or nanosecond level, enabling high-precision adjustment of the priority parameter of the queue to be sent, and consequently, high-precision adjustment of the bandwidth of the transmission queue.

[0007] In an optional implementation, the time slot parameters of the queue to be sent include a first time slot parameter and a second time slot parameter, wherein the first time slot parameter is used to determine the arbitration inter-frame interval and the second time slot parameter is used to determine the backoff parameter.

[0008] In the above implementation process, a first time slot parameter and a second time slot parameter are set. When adjusting the time slot parameter, it is possible to choose to adjust only the first time slot parameter, only the second time slot parameter, or both the first and second time slot parameters according to the actual situation, so as to realize flexible adjustment of the time slot parameter and thus flexible adjustment of the transmission bandwidth of the queue to be transmitted.

[0009] In an optional implementation, the current bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent and the target bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent meet the adjustment conditions, including: the difference between the current bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent and the target bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent is not within a preset threshold range; or the ratio between the current bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent and the target bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent is not within a preset threshold range.

[0010] In an optional implementation, adjusting the timeslot parameter of the queue to be sent includes: when the current bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent is greater than the target bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent, the larger the current bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent, the larger the adjusted timeslot parameter; when the current bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent is less than the target bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent, the smaller the current bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent, the smaller the adjusted timeslot parameter.

[0011] In the above implementation process, the priority parameters of the queue to be transmitted are adjusted by adjusting the timeslot parameters. The queue to be transmitted then competes for channel access based on the adjusted priority parameters. When the current bandwidth parameter of the queue to be transmitted is low, the timeslot parameters are lowered, allowing the queue to acquire channel access more quickly and thus increasing the current bandwidth parameter. Conversely, when the current bandwidth parameter of the queue to be transmitted is high, the timeslot parameters are increased, making it difficult for the queue to quickly acquire channel access, thus decreasing the current bandwidth parameter.

[0012] In an optional implementation, adjusting the time slot parameters of the queue to be sent includes: determining the adjustment range based on the numerical relationship between the current bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent and the target bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent; and adjusting the time slot parameters of the queue to be sent based on the adjustment range.

[0013] In an optional implementation, determining the adjustment range based on the numerical relationship between the current bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent and the target bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent includes:

[0014] The adjustment range is determined using the following formula:

[0015]

[0016] Where y is the adjustment range, and x is the ratio of the first parameter to the target bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent, where the first parameter is the difference between the current bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent and the target bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent.

[0017] In an optional implementation, adjusting the time slot parameters of the queue to be sent includes: determining the adjustment range based on the numerical relationship and a preset adjustment strategy; wherein the adjustment strategy is used to characterize the correspondence between the numerical relationship and the adjustment range.

[0018] Secondly, this application provides a channel contention apparatus, comprising: an acquisition module, configured to acquire the current bandwidth parameter of a queue to be transmitted; wherein the current bandwidth parameter of the queue to be transmitted is the amount of data transmitted by the queue to be transmitted within a preset time period; an adjustment module, configured to adjust the time slot parameter of the queue to be transmitted when the current bandwidth parameter and the target bandwidth parameter of the queue to be transmitted satisfy an adjustment condition; wherein the time slot parameter is used to determine the priority parameter of the queue to be transmitted; and a determination module, configured to determine the priority parameter of the queue to be transmitted based on the adjusted time slot parameter, so that the queue to be transmitted performs channel contention according to the priority parameter.

[0019] In an optional implementation, the time slot parameters of the queue to be sent include a first time slot parameter and a second time slot parameter, wherein the first time slot parameter is used to determine the arbitration inter-frame interval and the second time slot parameter is used to determine the backoff parameter.

[0020] In an optional implementation, the current bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent and the target bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent meet the adjustment conditions, including: the difference between the current bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent and the target bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent is not within a preset threshold range; or the ratio between the current bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent and the target bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent is not within a preset threshold range.

[0021] In an optional implementation, the adjustment module is specifically used to adjust the timeslot parameter as follows: when the current bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent is greater than the target bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent, the larger the current bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent, the larger the adjusted timeslot parameter; when the current bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent is less than the target bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent, the smaller the current bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent, the smaller the adjusted timeslot parameter.

[0022] In an optional implementation, the adjustment module is specifically used to determine the adjustment range based on the numerical relationship between the current bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent and the target bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent; and to adjust the time slot parameter of the queue to be sent based on the adjustment range.

[0023] In an optional implementation, the adjustment module is specifically used to determine the adjustment range according to the following formula:

[0024]

[0025] Where y is the adjustment range, and x is the ratio of the first parameter to the target bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent, where the first parameter is the difference between the current bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent and the target bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent.

[0026] In an optional implementation, the adjustment module is specifically used to determine the adjustment range based on the numerical relationship and a preset adjustment strategy; wherein the adjustment strategy is used to characterize the correspondence between the numerical relationship and the adjustment range.

It should be understood that the following drawings only show some embodiments of this application and should not be regarded as a limitation of the scope. For those skilled in the art, other related drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.

[0032] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an electronic device according to an embodiment of this application. Detailed Implementation

[0033] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] The purpose of this application is to provide a channel contention method, apparatus, communication device, and storage medium to improve the problem of insufficient flexibility and accuracy in bandwidth allocation of multiple transmission queues in the prior art.

[0035] This technology can be implemented using appropriate software, hardware, or a combination of both. The embodiments of this application are described in detail below.

[0036] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 A flowchart of a channel contention method provided in this application embodiment, the data transmission method may include the following:

[0037] Step 101: Obtain the current bandwidth parameters of the queue to be sent.

[0038] Step 102: When the current bandwidth parameter and the target bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent meet the adjustment conditions, adjust the time slot parameter of the queue to be sent.

[0039] Step 103: Determine the priority parameters of the queue to be transmitted based on the adjusted time slot parameters, so that the queue to be transmitted can compete for the channel according to the priority parameters.

[0040] In this embodiment, the current bandwidth parameter of the queue to be transmitted is first obtained, which represents the amount of data transmitted by the queue within a preset time period. Then, based on the current bandwidth parameter and the target bandwidth parameter of the queue, it is determined whether the queue meets the adjustment conditions. When the queue meets the adjustment conditions, the time slot parameter of the queue is adjusted. After determining the adjusted time slot parameter, the priority parameter of the queue is determined based on the adjusted time slot parameter, thereby adjusting the priority parameter of the queue. Through this method, the priority parameter of the queue to be transmitted can be dynamically adjusted. The queue can then compete for channel access based on the adjusted priority parameter, thereby changing its ability in channel contention and adjusting its transmission bandwidth.

[0041] Furthermore, since the time slot parameters can be generated by the clock signal in the network device with an accuracy of microseconds or nanoseconds, the priority parameters of the transmission queue can be adjusted with high precision, thereby enabling high-precision adjustment of the bandwidth of the transmission queue.

[0042] The following is a detailed explanation of each of the above steps.

[0043] Step 101: Obtain the current bandwidth parameters of the queue to be sent.

[0044] In this embodiment, the current bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent is the amount of data sent by the queue to be sent within a preset time period. Within the preset time period, the amount of data sent by the queue to be sent is recorded as the current bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent.

[0045] The preset time period can be flexibly set according to the actual network environment. For example, the preset time period can be 1 minute, 10 minutes, 1 hour, etc. If the current network load is high, in order to adjust the channel contention capability of the queue to be sent in a timely manner, the preset time period can be set to a shorter one, such as 1 minute or 5 minutes; if the current network load is low, and there is no need to frequently adjust the channel contention capability of the queue to be sent, thus reducing system power consumption, the preset time period can be set to a longer one, such as 1 hour, 2 hours, 1 day, etc.

[0046] Step 102: When the current bandwidth parameter and the target bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent meet the adjustment conditions, adjust the time slot parameter of the queue to be sent.

[0047] In this embodiment, after obtaining the current bandwidth parameters of the queue to be sent, it is determined whether the queue meets the adjustment conditions based on the current bandwidth parameters and the target bandwidth parameters of the queue to be sent. The target bandwidth parameters of the queue to be sent are bandwidth parameters preset according to the priority of the queue to be sent. The target bandwidth parameters of the queue to be sent represent the amount of data that the queue to be sent is expected to send within a preset time period.

[0048] The data to be sent queue is a queue in the network environment that will send data. Different types of services exist in the network, and these different service types have different requirements for bandwidth and latency. Therefore, the target bandwidth parameters of different data sending queues will differ.

[0049] For example, in the EDCA mechanism of the 802.11e protocol, four different Access Categories (ACs) are defined based on different service data traffic, in descending order of priority: AC_VO (Voice), AC_VI (Video), AC_BE (Best Effort), and AC_BK (Background). Each access category corresponds to a transmission queue. The system expects higher-priority transmission queues to occupy more bandwidth and prioritize the transmission of service data. Therefore, higher-priority transmission queues correspond to higher target bandwidth parameters.

[0050] The adjustment conditions are explained below.

[0051] When the queue to be sent meets the adjustment conditions, it means that the actual amount of data sent by the queue to be sent differs significantly from the expected amount of data sent within the preset time period; conversely, when the queue to be sent does not meet the adjustment conditions, it means that the actual amount of data sent by the queue to be sent differs slightly from the expected amount of data sent within the preset time period.

[0052] As an optional implementation, if the difference between the current bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent and the target bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent is not within the preset threshold range, then the queue to be sent is determined to meet the adjustment conditions.

[0053] In this embodiment, a preset threshold range is set. If the difference between the current bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent and the target bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent is not within the preset threshold range, it indicates that the actual amount of data sent by the queue to be sent differs significantly from the expected amount of data sent within the preset time period, thus meeting the adjustment conditions and requiring adjustment of the time slot parameters of the queue to be sent.

[0054] For example, the preset threshold range can be between -10kb and 10kb, and the preset time period is 1 second. If the data volume sent by the queue to be sent in 1 second is 100kb, and the target bandwidth parameter corresponding to the queue to be sent is 120kb, the difference between the two is -20kb, which is not within the preset threshold range. This indicates that within the preset time period, the actual data volume sent by the queue to be sent differs significantly from the expected data volume, meeting the adjustment conditions, and the time slot parameters of the queue to be sent need to be adjusted. If the data volume sent by the queue to be sent in 1 second is 125kb, and the target bandwidth parameter corresponding to the queue to be sent is 120kb, the difference between the two is 5kb, which is within the preset threshold range. This indicates that within the preset time period, the actual data volume sent by the queue to be sent differs slightly from the expected data volume, not meeting the adjustment conditions, and the time slot parameters of the queue to be sent do not need to be adjusted.

[0055] As another optional implementation, if the ratio of the current bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent to the target bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent is not within the preset threshold range, then the queue to be sent is determined to meet the adjustment conditions.

[0056] In this embodiment, a preset threshold range is set. If the ratio of the current bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent to the target bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent is not within the preset threshold range, it indicates that the actual amount of data sent by the queue to be sent differs significantly from the expected amount of data sent within the preset time period, thus meeting the adjustment conditions and requiring adjustment of the time slot parameters of the queue to be sent.

[0057] For example, the preset threshold range can be between 0.5 and 1.5, and the preset time period is 1 second. If the data volume sent by the queue to be sent in 1 second is 200kb, and the target bandwidth parameter corresponding to the queue to be sent is 100kb, the ratio of the two is 2kb, which is not within the preset threshold range. This indicates that within the preset time period, the actual data volume sent by the queue to be sent differs significantly from the expected data volume, meeting the adjustment conditions, and the time slot parameters of the queue to be sent need to be adjusted. If the data volume sent by the queue to be sent in 1 second is 80kb, and the target bandwidth parameter corresponding to the queue to be sent is 100kb, the ratio of the two is 0.8, which is within the preset threshold range. This indicates that within the preset time period, the actual data volume sent by the queue to be sent differs slightly from the expected data volume, not meeting the adjustment conditions, and the time slot parameters of the queue to be sent do not need to be adjusted.

[0058] It should be noted that the embodiments of this application do not specifically limit the adjustment conditions. Any condition that can determine whether the actual amount of data sent by the queue to be sent differs significantly from the expected amount of data sent can be used as an adjustment condition.

[0059] To facilitate understanding of the scheme, the channel contention method and time slot parameters are explained below.

[0060] To meet the QoS requirements of transmission queues with different priorities, each transmission queue corresponds to a priority parameter, and the transmission queues compete for the transmission channel based on their own priority parameters. Priority parameters may include: Arbitration Inter Frame Space (AIFS) and backoff parameters.

[0061] The AIFS of a transmit queue determines the arbitration contention slot period for that transmit queue. The arbitration inter-frame interval AIFS can be expressed as: AIFS = SIFS + AIFSN[AC] * SLOT. Where SIFS is the Short Inter-Frame Space, and SLOT is the slot parameter.

[0062] The backoff parameter of a transmit queue determines the backoff slot period of that transmit queue. The backoff parameter BACKOFF can be expressed as: BACKOFF = CW_sel * SLOT, where SLOT is the slot parameter.

[0063] When a transmission queue has a data transmission requirement, it detects the channel. If the channel remains idle for the AIFS[AC] period corresponding to that transmission queue, it initiates a backoff procedure. During the backoff procedure, if the channel remains idle, the BACKOFF value corresponding to that transmission queue continuously decreases. When the BACKOFF value decreases to 0, the transmission queue gains access to the channel, and the system transmits the service data corresponding to that transmission queue on that channel.

[0064] In this embodiment of the application, the time slot parameter is the arbitration inter-frame interval AIFS and the SLOT parameter in the backoff parameter BACKOFF.

[0065] As an optional implementation, the time slot parameter is used to determine the arbitration inter-frame interval and backoff parameters.

[0066] In this embodiment, the arbitration inter-frame interval AIFS can be expressed as: AIFS = SIFS + AIFSN[AC] * SLOT, and the backoff parameter BACKOFF can be expressed as: BACKOFF = CW_sel * SLOT. Wherein, SLOT is the time slot parameter.

[0067] As another optional implementation, the time slot parameters of the queue to be transmitted include a first time slot parameter and a second time slot parameter. The first time slot parameter is used to determine the arbitration inter-frame interval, and the second time slot parameter is used to determine the backoff parameters.

[0068] In this embodiment, the arbitration inter-frame interval AIFS can be expressed as: AIFS = SIFS + AIFSN[AC] * SLOT1, where SLOT1 is the first time slot parameter. The backoff parameter BACKOFF can be expressed as: BACKOFF = CW_sel * SLOT2, where SLOT2 is the second time slot parameter.

[0069] When setting the first time slot parameter and the second time slot parameter, you can choose to adjust only the first time slot parameter, only the second time slot parameter, or both the first and second time slot parameters, depending on the actual situation.

[0070] By adjusting the timeslot parameters, the priority parameters of the transmission queue can be adjusted, and the transmission queue competes for channel access based on the adjusted priority parameters. When the current bandwidth parameter of the transmission queue is low, the timeslot parameter is lowered, allowing the transmission queue to acquire channel access more quickly and enabling data transmission, thus increasing the current bandwidth parameter of the transmission queue. Conversely, when the current bandwidth parameter of the transmission queue is high, the timeslot parameter is increased, making it difficult for the transmission queue to quickly acquire channel access, thus decreasing the current bandwidth parameter of the transmission queue.

[0071] The following describes how to adjust the time slot parameters of the queue to be sent.

[0072] In this embodiment of the application, when the queue to be sent meets the adjustment conditions, the time slot parameters of the queue to be sent are adjusted according to the following principles:

[0073] When the current bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent is greater than the target bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent, the larger the current bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent, the larger the adjusted timeslot parameter will be.

[0074] When the current bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent is less than the target bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent, the smaller the current bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent, the smaller the adjusted timeslot parameter will be.

[0075] As can be seen from the aforementioned channel contention mechanism, if the current bandwidth parameter of the queue to be transmitted is greater than the target bandwidth parameter, it indicates that the queue to be transmitted is occupying a significant amount of channel resources. Increasing the time slot parameter of the queue to be transmitted can effectively reduce the amount of data transmitted.

[0076] If the current bandwidth parameter of the queue to be transmitted is less than the target bandwidth parameter of the queue to be transmitted, it indicates that the queue to be transmitted is occupying less channel resources. Reducing the time slot parameter of the queue to be transmitted can effectively increase the amount of data transmitted.

[0077] As an optional implementation, adjusting the time slot parameters of the queue to be transmitted includes: determining the adjustment range based on the numerical relationship between the current bandwidth parameter of the queue to be transmitted and the target bandwidth parameter of the queue to be transmitted; and adjusting the time slot parameters of the queue to be transmitted based on the adjustment range.

[0078] In this embodiment of the application, after obtaining the current bandwidth parameter and the target bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent, the adjustment range of the time slot parameter is determined by comparing the numerical relationship between the two, and then the time slot parameter of the queue to be sent is adjusted according to the adjustment range.

[0079] Specifically, the adjustment range is 'a', and the timeslot parameter of the queue to be sent is 'SLOT'. After determining the adjustment range 'a', the timeslot parameter of the queue to be sent is adjusted to a*SLOT.

[0080] In some implementations, the adjustment range is determined based on the numerical relationship between the current bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent and the target bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent, including:

[0081] The adjustment range is determined using the following formula:

[0082]

[0083] Where y is the adjustment range, and x is the ratio of the first parameter to the target bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent. The first parameter is the difference between the current bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent and the target bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent.

[0084] For example, if the current bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent is 80kb, and the target bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent is 100kb, then the difference between the current bandwidth parameter and the target bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent is 20kb. The first parameter is 20kb / 100kb = 0.2, and x = 0.2. According to the above formula, the adjustment magnitude y is 0.83.

[0085] In other implementations, the adjustment range is determined based on the numerical relationship between the current bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent and the target bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent, including: determining the adjustment range based on the numerical relationship and a preset adjustment strategy.

[0086] In this embodiment, an adjustment strategy is pre-configured to characterize the correspondence between numerical relationships and adjustment magnitudes. After determining the numerical relationship between the current bandwidth parameter of the queue to be transmitted and the target bandwidth parameter of the queue to be transmitted, the adjustment magnitude is determined from the adjustment strategy based on the numerical relationship.

[0087] For example, the numerical relationship between the current bandwidth parameter and the target bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent is the ratio of the current bandwidth parameter to the target bandwidth parameter. The adjustment strategy is as follows: when the ratio of the current bandwidth parameter to the target bandwidth parameter is less than 20%, the adjustment increment is 0.5; when the ratio is between 21% and 50%, the adjustment increment is 0.6; when the ratio is greater than 51% and 70%, the adjustment increment is 0.7; and when the ratio is between 71% and 80%, the adjustment increment is 0.8.

[0088] In this application embodiment, the numerical relationship between the current bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent and the target bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent is not limited. The numerical relationship may include the difference between the current bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent and the target bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent, the ratio between the current bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent and the target bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent, the ratio between the first parameter and the target bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent, where the first parameter is the difference between the current bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent and the target bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent, etc.

[0089] Step 103: Determine the priority parameters of the queue to be transmitted based on the adjusted time slot parameters, so that the queue to be transmitted can compete for the channel according to the priority parameters.

[0090] In this embodiment, after further adjusting the timeslot parameters of the queue to be transmitted, the priority parameters of the queue to be transmitted are determined based on the adjusted timeslot parameters. The specific method for determining the priority parameters based on the timeslot parameters can be found in existing technologies and will not be elaborated upon here. The queue to be transmitted competes for channel data based on the adjusted priority parameters, and transmits service data after successfully competing for the channel data.

[0091] Based on the same inventive concept, this application also provides a channel contention device. Please refer to... Figure 2 , Figure 2 This application provides a structural block diagram of a channel contention device 200, which may include:

[0092] The acquisition module 201 is used to acquire the current bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent; wherein, the current bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent is the amount of data sent by the queue to be sent within a preset time period;

[0093] The adjustment module 202 is used to adjust the time slot parameters of the queue to be sent when the current bandwidth parameters and the target bandwidth parameters of the queue to be sent meet the adjustment conditions; wherein, the time slot parameters are used to determine the priority parameters of the queue to be sent.

[0094] The determining module 203 is used to determine the priority parameters of the queue to be transmitted based on the adjusted time slot parameters, so that the queue to be transmitted can compete for the channel according to the priority parameters.

[0095] In an optional implementation, the time slot parameters of the queue to be sent include a first time slot parameter and a second time slot parameter, wherein the first time slot parameter is used to determine the arbitration inter-frame interval and the second time slot parameter is used to determine the backoff parameter.

[0096] In an optional implementation, the current bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent and the target bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent satisfy adjustment conditions, including:

[0097] The difference between the current bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent and the target bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent is not within the preset threshold range;

[0098] Or the ratio of the current bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent to the target bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent is not within the preset threshold range.

[0099] In an optional implementation, the adjustment module 202 is specifically used to adjust the timeslot parameter by increasing the current bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent as follows: when the current bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent is greater than the target bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent; when the current bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent is less than the target bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent, the current bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent is smaller than the target bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent.

[0100] In an optional implementation, the adjustment module 202 is specifically used to determine the adjustment range based on the numerical relationship between the current bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent and the target bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent; and to adjust the time slot parameter of the queue to be sent based on the adjustment range.

[0101] In an optional implementation, the adjustment module 202 is specifically used to determine the adjustment range according to the following formula:

[0102]

[0103] Where y is the adjustment range, and x is the ratio of the first parameter to the target bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent, where the first parameter is the difference between the current bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent and the target bandwidth parameter of the queue to be sent.

[0104] In an optional implementation, the adjustment module 202 is specifically used to determine the adjustment range based on the numerical relationship and a preset adjustment strategy; wherein the adjustment strategy is used to characterize the correspondence between the numerical relationship and the adjustment range.

[0105] In addition, please see Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an electronic device 300 according to an embodiment of this application. The electronic device 300 includes: at least one processor 301, at least one communication interface 302, at least one memory 303, and at least one bus 304. The bus 304 is used to enable direct communication between these components. The communication interface 302 is used for signaling or data communication with other node devices. The memory 303 stores machine-readable instructions executable by the processor 301. When the electronic device 300 is running, the processor 301 communicates with the memory 303 via the bus 304.
