Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to an animal experiment data collection and data transmission control method based on the Internet of Things. Background Art

[0002] In the fields of biology, medicine, and pharmacy, animal experiments are often used to assist in scientific research in order to acquire new knowledge or solve specific problems. During animal experiments, it is necessary to observe and collect various data on the experimental subjects, such as mice, rats, dogs, and monkeys, and send the collected data to the experimental center for processing as required for analysis and research. Animal experiments usually collect data including biochemical data, time data, and various environmental data including temperature and humidity.

[0003] With the development of communication and electronic technology, animal experiments can be carried out remotely, which can make use of better experimental environments and save a lot of construction costs. For example, in order to obtain experimental data of animals in extremely cold areas, the experimental subjects can be placed in a real living environment, and sensors can be used to collect and transmit data to a remote experimental center for analysis and research. In the process of data collection and transmission, due to the characteristics of the communication technology used, there may be problems such as data transmission rate and reliability. For example, when using WiFi as an access technology, although the transmission rate is high, there will be problems such as limited coverage, unstable signals, and transmission security. The use of terrestrial cellular transmission technologies such as 4G and 5G has a wide coverage range and is protected by security mechanisms, but it may cause a rate drop when the number of terminal accesses is large. In addition, there are communication methods such as satellite access.

[0004] Therefore, in the process of animal experiment data collection and transmission, how to control data transmission according to the nature of the data and the characteristics of the terminal access network, and how to control data collection according to application business requirements and the characteristics of data transmission, so as to achieve on-demand collection and reliable transmission of experimental data are problems that need to be solved.

[0093] Figure 1b is based on Figure 1a The network architecture for animal experiment data collection and transmission is shown. Among them, the IoT controller is connected to the core network as a terminal (terminal) 101. Relative to the network side device, the IoT controller is a terminal. The IoT controller needs to realize data transmission, needs to register with the core network and establish a session, such as a PDU session. If the IoT controller supports multi-access capabilities, such as Figure 1b As shown, it supports access to the core network through NR base station and WiFi respectively. Then the IoT controller needs to complete access registration through the base station access and WiFi access respectively, and establish a multi-access PDU session. The IoT controller also controls the data collection of all IoT terminals connected to it. The control includes formulating a data collection strategy, that is, completing the IoT terminal grouping required for data collection according to business needs and IoT terminal types, and indicating collection strategies such as the type of data collected; and sending the data collection strategy to the corresponding IoT terminal. The IoT terminal collects data according to the data collection strategy and reports it to the IoT controller. The IoT controller transmits the collected data to the experimental application processing center through the network in accordance with the data transmission rules formulated by the network side, such as using base station access for biochemical data and using WiFi access for environmental data.

[0094] In some embodiments, the IoT controller and the network transmission device support a data multi-path transmission function. The data multi-path transmission function exchanges PDUs between the UE and the data network simultaneously through the base station access network and the WiFi access network, and through two independent N3 / N9 interfaces between the protocol data unit session anchor (PDUSessionAnchor, PSA) and the access network (Access Network, AN) by establishing a multi-access PDU connection service. The multi-access PDU connection service is implemented by establishing a multi-access PDU session, that is, a PDU session can have user plane resources of two access networks. After the IoT controller completes access registration using base station access and WiFi access, it can request to establish a multi-access PDU session. On the one hand, the use of the multi-path transmission function can improve data transmission reliability and service quality (such as bandwidth), and on the other hand, it can also use differentiated transmission to achieve different data transmission requirements. For example, biochemical data requires confidentiality transmission and can use the base station access path, and other ordinary data can use the WiFi access path.

[0095] Alternatively, if Figure 1c As shown, a schematic diagram of a data multi-path transmission function is provided; Figure 1cIn the figure, the IoT controller accesses the 5GC network through the base station and WiFi; the base station access network and the WiFi access network establish N3 connections with the user plane function (UPF) respectively; the UPF establishes N9 connection with the UPF PSA; and the UPF PSA establishes N6 connection with the experimental application processing center.

[0096] Figure 2 FIG. 1 is an interactive schematic diagram of an animal experiment data collection and transmission control method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 2 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a communication method, which is used in a communication system 100, and the method includes:

[0097] Step S2101: The IoT controller sends a session establishment request to the network control device.

[0098] In some embodiments, the session establishment request includes the service type of the service that the IoT terminal control needs to carry out, and the service type includes the data type of the service and / or the number of IoT terminals. The session can be a PDU session or an IP-CAN session, and the session is used to transmit the data of the service. The data type includes at least one of the following: biochemical data, environmental data, and time data.

[0099] In some embodiments, if the IoT controller supports multi-access capability, the session establishment request is a multi-access session establishment request, which is used by the IoT controller to establish a session through the first access network and the second access network respectively. For example, the IoT controller establishes a first PDU session through base station access and establishes a second PDU session through WiFi, and the first PDU session and the second PDU session constitute a multi-access PDU session.

[0100] In some embodiments, if the IoT terminal control supports multi-access capability, before establishing the multi-access session, the IoT controller needs to register with the core network through the first access network and the second access network respectively.

[0101] Step S2102: The IoT controller obtains data transmission rules and saves the data transmission rules.

[0102] In some embodiments, the IoT controller obtains data transmission rules from the network control device through a session establishment response, and the data transmission rules define the transmission path of the data of the service. For example, it is defined that the biochemical data included in the service is transmitted through the base station access path, and when the base station data path is unavailable, the WiFi access path can be used for data transmission; it is defined that the environmental data is transmitted through the WiFi access path, and when the WiFi access path is unavailable, the data is transmitted through the base station access path.

[0103] In some embodiments, the IoT controller receives and saves the data transmission rule, and the data transmission rule can also trigger the IoT controller to initiate the establishment of a multi-access session. For example, the IoT controller registers to the network through base station access and WiFi access respectively, and initiates the establishment of a first session through base station access. When receiving the data transmission rule included in the first session establishment response indicating WiFi access as a backup transmission path, the IoT controller initiates the establishment of a second session through the WiFi access, and associates the first session with the second session to form a multi-access session.

[0104] Step S2103: The IoT controller formulates data collection rules and sends the data collection rules to the IoT terminal.

[0105] In some embodiments, the IoT controller formulates the data collection rule according to one or more information of data transmission rules, business types, IoT terminal identifiers, and IoT terminal types. The data collection rule is used to instruct the IoT terminal to collect data according to the collection rule. The data collection rule defines the type of data to be collected, the start and end time of data collection, the IoT terminal group that collects the data, and the identifier of the IoT terminal in the group. For example, if the data transmission rule defines that biochemical data and environmental data need to be transmitted, the IoT controller needs to collect these two types of data, and at the same time, according to the capabilities of the IoT terminal, it is obtained which IoT terminals can collect biochemical data, which IoT terminals can collect environmental data, and which IoT terminals can collect biochemical data and environmental data, and the IoT terminals are grouped according to data collection type and data collection capability. The IoT controller formulates the data collection rule to include the data collection type, the start and end time of collection, the IoT terminal group identifier, and the IoT terminal identifier, and sends it to the IoT terminal corresponding to the IoT terminal identifier.

[0106] Step S2104: The IoT controller collects data, summarizes data, and reports data.

[0108] In some embodiments, when the accumulated data reaches the reporting threshold defined by the data transmission rule, the accumulated data is reported to the experimental application processing center through the network according to the matching transmission rule. For example, the data transmission rule defines that biochemical data is transmitted through base station access and defines the transmission threshold. Then, the IoT controller receives the biochemical data reported by the IoT terminal. When the accumulated biochemical data reaches the reporting threshold, according to the data transmission rule, the base station access is used to transmit the biochemical data to the experimental application processing center.
