Background Art

[0002] Mesh network is a wireless mesh network, in which the node devices in the network are interconnected wirelessly, and the network flooding is used to publish and relay messages. In other words, there is no specific routing path for messages. The initial message publishing device broadcasts the message to all nodes within its wireless range, and then the relay nodes forward the message until it reaches the final destination, completing the message transmission.

[0003] When there are many devices associated with a Mesh network, the broadcast of a large number of messages will cause air interference, which will not only consume a large amount of air resources, but may also cause communication conflicts and repeated retransmission of messages, affecting the transmission efficiency of the Mesh network and further affecting the user experience.

[0072] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments in the present application belong to the scope of protection of this application.

[0073] For node devices connected to the Mesh network, that is, networked devices, it is necessary to report the device status according to usage requirements. For example, when the device status changes, the latest status needs to be reported in a timely manner. Taking smart lighting devices as an example, the device status can at least include the on state and the off state. In addition, in order to realize network monitoring capabilities such as heartbeat, networked devices also need to report their status periodically.

[0074] In scenarios where there are a large number of networked devices, such as office buildings, a large number of periodically reported broadcasts will cause air interference, consume a large amount of air resources, and have a significant impact on Mesh network configuration and data transmission, thereby affecting the user experience in the Mesh network.

[0075] At present, the existing related technologies mainly reduce redundant broadcasts through interference avoidance mechanisms. Specifically, the preset broadcast time interval used by the networked devices for periodic status reporting can be determined first, and the broadcast time interval can be randomly adjusted on this basis to perform early broadcast or delayed broadcast, so as to avoid interference problems caused by all networked devices performing periodic status reporting at the same time. Such a solution has limited ability to reduce redundant broadcasts when it involves a large number of networked devices in actual applications.

[0076] In addition, for devices that want to access the Mesh network, i.e., devices to be provisioned, they will continue to broadcast frequently after power-on so that the provisioner (e.g., a mobile phone associated with a user that can perform provisioning operations) can find the device to be provisioned and perform provisioning operations on it. The so-called provisioning operation can be understood as a process in which both communication devices (in this example, the device to be provisioned and the provisioner) perform security verification on each other and obtain the network communication key through data-based interaction. This provisioning solution has the following problems:

[0077] 1. For scenarios with a large number of devices to be networked, such as office buildings, the air interference caused by a large number of invalid broadcasts will have an increasingly prominent impact on Mesh network configuration and data transmission.

[0078] 2. Before the network configuration operation is completed, the device to be configured will continue to broadcast, and there is also the problem of high power consumption of the device.

[0079] Correspondingly, the existing related technology also adopts interference avoidance mechanism to reduce redundancy. In addition, the continuous broadcasting time of the equipment to be networked can also be set. For example, if the continuous broadcasting time of the smart speaker performing the network configuration operation is 10 minutes, then within 10 minutes after the smart speaker is powered on and enters the network configuration state, the network configurer can find that the smart speaker is performing the network configuration operation on it. If it exceeds 10 minutes, the network configuration cannot be successful. Although such a solution can solve the broadcast redundancy problem to a certain extent, it will increase the operation complexity of the user performing the network configuration operation and affect the user's network configuration experience.

[0080] In response to the redundant broadcast problem existing in the above Mesh network, the embodiment of the present application starts from the underlying radio frequency and interference level and provides a new solution for reducing redundant broadcast, thereby optimizing the Mesh network and providing a technical basis for the popularization of the use of Mesh networks.

[0081] From the perspective of system architecture, see Figure 1 The Mesh network redundancy optimization system provided in the embodiment of the present application may include a first client and a second client.

[0082] The first client can be deployed on a smart terminal associated with the user, and send a broadcast frame including constraints to the Mesh network through the smart terminal, thereby triggering the second client to determine the target device that matches the constraints from the devices associated with the Mesh network, and control the target device to perform related operations. In other words, the target device that matches the constraints can send broadcasts, and the device that does not match the constraints can stop sending broadcasts, which can effectively reduce the number of broadcasts at the same time.

[0083] As an example, the smart terminal may be a network provider, such as a mobile phone, smart speaker, etc. that can conduct online conversations and / or voice conversations with users. Alternatively, the smart terminal may be a device with Internet connectivity, such as a gateway, etc.

[0084] The second client can be deployed on a device associated with the Mesh network. As an example, the device associated with the Mesh network can be a network-connected device and / or a network-to-be-connected device, which can be determined by actual usage requirements. In other words, the redundant broadcasts of the network-connected device when performing status reporting operations can be reduced through the embodiment of the present application, and / or the redundant broadcasts of the network-to-be-connected device when performing network configuration operations can be reduced.

[0085] The following uses three usage scenarios as examples to explain the implementation process of the embodiments of the present application.

[0086] 1. Used to reduce redundant broadcasts of status reporting operations of networked devices.

[0087] For example, when redundant broadcasts of the Mesh network are mainly generated by networked devices, targeted redundant optimization processing can be performed on the networked devices.

[0088] Specifically, the first client associated with the smart terminal sends a broadcast frame to the Mesh network through the smart terminal, and the broadcast frame includes constraints associated with the configured network device, so that the second client associated with the configured network device determines the configured network device that matches the constraints as the target configured network device; and performs a status reporting operation for the target configured network device.

[0089] 2. Used to reduce redundant broadcasts of network configuration operations of the devices to be configured.

[0090] For example, when redundant broadcasts of the Mesh network are mainly generated by the devices to be configured, targeted redundant optimization processing can be performed on the devices to be configured.

[0091] Specifically, the first client associated with the smart terminal sends a broadcast frame to the Mesh network through the smart terminal, and the broadcast frame includes constraints associated with the device to be configured, so that the second client associated with the device to be configured will determine the device to be configured that matches the constraints as the target device to be configured; and perform configuration operations on the target device to be configured according to the information sent by the target device to be configured.

[0092] Optionally, the device to be configured may be powered on and not send a configuration broadcast in this usage scenario. That is, after being powered on, the device to be configured may not actively broadcast to the outside, but when it receives a broadcast frame and determines that it matches the constraints included in the broadcast frame, it interacts with the smart terminal associated with the first client and provides its own configuration capabilities (Provisioning capabilities) and other information to perform subsequent configuration operations. In this way, not only can redundant broadcasts in configuration operations be reduced, and there will be no interference with surrounding air signals, and it will not be discovered by other unrelated devices to cause operations such as erroneous binding, but the problem of high power consumption of the device can also be solved.

[0093] The implementation process of the above two usage scenarios can be seen below Figure 2 The introduction made will not be described in detail here.

[0094] 3. Used to reduce redundant broadcasts of configured devices and devices to be configured.

[0095] In this usage scenario, the specific implementation process of the Mesh network redundancy optimization method can be found in Figure 2 The flow chart shown includes:

[0096] S201: The first client associated with the smart terminal sends a broadcast frame to the Mesh network through the smart terminal, wherein the broadcast frame includes constraints for devices of different priorities, so that the second clients associated with the devices of different priorities respectively determine the devices matching the corresponding constraints as target devices.

[0097] In an embodiment of the present application, the devices associated with the Mesh network can be divided into different priorities and corresponding constraints can be configured respectively. That is, the association relationship between devices of different priorities and corresponding constraints can be established in advance, so that the second client can determine the corresponding constraint conditions for matching according to the priority information of its associated devices, and filter out the target devices corresponding to different priority information.

[0098] As an example, the priority of the device can be divided according to the network configuration status in the Mesh network. For example, the priority information may include: the priority of the network to be configured and the priority of the configured network. Correspondingly, the broadcast frame may include the constraint conditions corresponding to the priority of the network to be configured and the constraint conditions corresponding to the priority of the configured network.

[0099] In actual applications, the priority of the network to be configured and the priority of the configured network can be determined according to the usage requirements. For example, if the network configuration demand is high, such as the number of devices to be configured is not less than the preset number or the network configuration operation is manually set to be prioritized, it can be determined that the priority of the network to be configured is higher than the priority of the configured network; conversely, if the status reporting demand is high, it can be determined that the priority of the configured network is higher than the priority of the network to be configured.

[0100] In addition, the priority of the device can also be divided according to the features (Features) of the device in the Mesh network. Generally, the devices in the Mesh network can have 4 optional features: Relay, Proxy, Friend, and Low Power. The embodiment of the present application can further subdivide the device priority according to the above features, and set the constraints corresponding to each subdivided priority. For example, the subdivided priority can be determined according to the importance of devices with different characteristics in the network, the degree of impact on communication conflicts, power consumption, etc., which can be determined according to actual usage requirements, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

[0101] In actual applications, the network configuration status and characteristics of the device in the Mesh network can all be used as dimensional information for priority division. The embodiments of the present application do not limit the dimensional information used for priority division, the number of priorities, the priority sorting, etc., which can be determined based on actual usage requirements.

[0102] As an example, the constraint condition may include a first condition for determining a target device.

[0103] For example, the first condition can be reflected as a signal strength RSSI threshold (Received Signal Strength Indicator). If the signal strength of the broadcast frame received by the device associated with the second client is not less than the RSSI threshold, it can be used as the target device. In one implementation, the first condition can also be reflected as a distance threshold. If the distance between the device associated with the second client and the smart terminal associated with the first client does not exceed the distance threshold, it can be used as the target device.

[0104] And / or, the first condition can be embodied as a preset device set, and if the device associated with the second client is included in the preset device set, it can be used as the target device. The devices included in the preset device set can be determined according to usage requirements, and the device identification information can be saved. The embodiments of the present application do not limit the devices included in the set and the number of devices.

[0105] That is to say, the first condition can be set to filter the target device from the devices associated with the Mesh network, and control the target device to perform related operations, which helps to reduce the number of air broadcasts and solve the problem of redundant broadcasts.

[0106] In addition, the constraint condition may further include a second condition for constraining an operation behavior of the target device.

[0107] For example, the second condition may be embodied as the operation execution time of the target device, which is used to constrain the time when the target device executes the operation action. For example, the operation execution time may include the operation start time and the operation time period (or, may include the operation start time and the operation end time), ensuring that the target device executes the relevant operation action within the allowed operation execution time.

[0108] And / or, the second condition may be embodied as a broadcast frequency of the target device, which is used to constrain the broadcast frequency when the target device performs an operation. For example, the broadcast frequency may include the broadcast frequency and / or broadcast times of the target device, ensuring that when the target device performs a related operation, the broadcast is sent according to the allowed broadcast frequency.

[0109] That is, a second condition may be set to constrain the broadcasting behavior of the target device when performing an operation, thereby further reducing the problem of redundant broadcasting when performing related operations.

[0110] For a device that can receive broadcast frames, the second client deployed on the device can determine the target device in the following manner:

[0111] Determining the target constraint condition from the broadcast frame according to the priority information of the device associated with the second client and performing matching may specifically include:

[0112] 1. The device associated with the second client matches the target constraint. For example, if the signal strength of the broadcast frame received by the device is not less than the RSSI threshold, and / or the device is included in the preset device set, the device associated with the second client can be determined as the target device, and the target device is controlled to interact with the smart terminal to perform the associated operation.

[0113] Taking the division of the priority of the network to be configured and the priority of the network already configured as an example, controlling different target devices to perform their respective associated operations can be reflected as follows: the operation performed on the target device whose network configuration status is to be configured is the network configuration operation, and the operation performed on the target device whose network configuration status is already configured is the status reporting operation.

[0114] Optionally, the constraint condition may further include a second condition. For example, if the second condition is the operation execution time, then controlling different target devices to execute their respective associated operations may be embodied as: controlling the target devices to execute the operations within the associated operation execution time. And / or, if the second condition is the broadcast frequency, then controlling different target devices to execute their respective associated operations may be embodied as: when controlling the target devices to execute the operations, broadcasts are sent according to the broadcast frequency.

[0115] 2. If the device associated with the second client does not match the target constraint, the device associated with the second client can be controlled to stop sending broadcasts. In other words, the broadcasts sent by these unmatched devices may be redundant broadcasts at present. Prohibiting unmatched devices from sending broadcasts can effectively reduce redundant broadcasts and prevent unmatched devices from broadcasting at the same time as the target device, which will interfere with the target device and affect the operations performed by the target device.

[0116] S202: Execute respective associated operations on the target devices in sequence according to the priority information of the target devices.

[0117] In this example, at least two priorities can be divided in advance according to usage requirements, and the order of at least two priorities can be determined. The first client can control the smart terminal to perform relevant operations on the target device in sequence according to the priority information of the target device and in order of priority from high to low.

[0118] In the example given above, if the priority of the network to be configured is higher than that of the network to be configured, the network configuration operation can be performed on the target device determined from the network to be configured, that is, the target device in the network to be configured state, and then the status reporting operation can be performed on the target device determined from the network to be configured, that is, the target device in the network to be configured state.

[0119] It can be understood that if the constraints associated with the priority of the network to be configured include the operation execution time, the network configuration operation can be started when the operation start time is reached, and the network configuration operation can be stopped at the end of the operation time period; if the constraints associated with the priority of the network to be configured do not include the operation execution time, the network configuration operation can be started when the target device is determined, and the network configuration operation can be stopped when all the target devices are connected to the Mesh network.

[0120] Similarly, if the constraints associated with the configured network priority include the operation execution time, the status reporting operation can be performed within the allowed operation execution time according to the corresponding operation start time and operation time period; if the constraints associated with the configured network priority do not include the operation execution time, the status reporting can be started when the target device is determined, and stopped after all target devices complete a round of status reporting.

[0121] As an example, in order to better adapt to the redundancy reduction requirements of the Mesh network, the embodiment of the present application can also provide a multi-round batch redundancy optimization solution, see Figure 3 The flowchart shown may include:

[0122] S301: When it is determined that Mesh network optimization is required, the first client enters a redundant optimization phase, wherein the redundant optimization phase includes multiple optimization time periods, wherein the multiple optimization time periods are respectively associated with different broadcast frames, wherein the broadcast frames include constraints associated with different priority devices within corresponding optimization time periods.

[0123] In this example, the first client can start to enter the redundancy optimization phase when needed, and implement batch processing of devices associated with the Mesh network through multiple optimization periods, effectively reducing redundant broadcasts in different optimization periods.

[0124] As an example, the redundancy optimization phase may be initiated by manual triggering. For example, the smart terminal associated with the first client may provide an operation option for submitting an optimization request, and after obtaining the optimization request submitted by the user through the operation option, it may be determined that Mesh network optimization is required.

[0125] Or, as another example, the redundancy optimization phase may be intelligently started through automatic monitoring.

[0126] For example, when it is detected that the Mesh network has a network configuration requirement, it can be determined that the Mesh network optimization is required. In practical applications, it can be determined that there is a network configuration requirement when there are devices to be configured in the network, or it can be determined that there is a network configuration requirement when the number of devices to be configured in the network is not less than a preset number, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0127] For another example, when a large amount of air interference is detected in the Mesh network, it can be determined that the Mesh network needs to be optimized. For example, it can be determined that a large amount of air interference exists when the channel packet amount is not less than the preset packet amount. In practical applications, the channel packet amount can be the packet amount of a specified channel, or it can be the average packet amount of some or all channels, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0128] For another example, when the broadcast success rate of the Mesh network is detected to be abnormal, it can be determined that the Mesh network optimization is required. For example, when the broadcast success rate of the network configuration operation of the network configuration device is not higher than the first threshold, and / or the broadcast success rate of the status report of the network configuration device is not higher than the second threshold, it can be determined that the broadcast success rate is abnormal. The values ​​of the first threshold and the second threshold can be determined by actual usage requirements.

[0129] See also Figure 4 As shown in the schematic diagram of redundant optimization processing, the redundant optimization stage includes 6 optimization periods, each of which is associated with different broadcast frames. The first client can control the associated smart terminal to send the broadcast frame corresponding to the optimization period to the Mesh network within each optimization period, so as to determine the target device and perform related operations according to the constraints included in the broadcast frame.

[0130] S302: When the target optimization period is reached, the target broadcast frame associated with the target optimization period is sent to the Mesh network through the smart terminal associated with the first client, so that the second clients associated with the different priority devices respectively determine the devices matching the constraints included in the target broadcast frame as the target devices.

[0131] S303: Execute the respective associated operations on the target devices in sequence according to the priority information of the target devices.

[0132] Figure 4 In the example given, the devices associated with the Mesh network include devices A, B, C, ..., Z, among which device Z is a network-ready device, and devices A, B, and C are devices to be networked. After device A is powered on, it actively broadcasts to the outside world (the number of arrows in the figure can be used to indicate the frequency of broadcasts sent by device A). After devices B and C are powered on, they do not actively broadcast to the outside world, so they will not occupy air resources and will not interfere with surrounding air signals.

[0133] In this example, the priority of the network to be configured and the priority of the configured network can be divided, and the priority of the network to be configured is higher than the priority of the configured network.

[0134] When the redundancy optimization phase is triggered, the optimization period 1 can be determined as the target optimization period, the first client obtains the broadcast frame 1 associated with the optimization period 1, and controls the smart terminal associated with the first client to send the broadcast frame 1 to the Mesh network. It can be understood that the constraint conditions included in the broadcast frame 1 can be pre-configured empirical values, or can be values ​​determined in real time based on the interference situation automatically monitored, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0135] After devices A, B, C, and Z receive broadcast frame 1, within the operation execution time of the network priority to be configured, the second clients associated with devices A and B respectively determine the two as target devices (that is, the two match the constraints associated with the network priority to be configured), and the smart terminal interacts with the two to complete the network configuration operation.

[0136] It is understandable that during the execution time of the operation with the priority to be configured, the configuration operation of all target devices may be completed, or the configuration operation of some target devices may be completed. For the target devices that have not completed the configuration operation, the configuration operation can be continued in batches in the next optimization period. Figure 4 In the example given, after device B receives broadcast frame 2 associated with optimization period 2, it is again determined as the target device to perform network configuration operations.

[0137] In this example, the signal strength of broadcast frame 1 received by device C is lower than the RSSI threshold in the constraint condition. If the network configuration operation is performed at this time, the broadcast sent during the network configuration process is usually redundant. Therefore, device C does not initiate network configuration packet interaction as the target device during the optimization period 1 due to RSSI mismatch. Device Z is a network-configured device and does not require network configuration interaction. It will not be used as a target device during the operation execution time of the priority to be configured. In this way, the broadcasts sent by devices C and Z when performing related operations can be effectively reduced.

[0138] During optimization period 1, when the operation execution time of the priority level of the network to be configured ends and reaches the operation execution time of the priority level of the configured network, the second client associated with device Z can determine it as the target device (that is, device Z matches the constraint conditions associated with the priority level of the configured network) and interact with the smart terminal to perform status reporting operations.

[0139] When the execution time of the operation with the configured network priority ends, it is determined that the optimization period 1 ends, and the optimization period 2 can be determined as the target optimization period, and the broadcast frame 2 associated with the optimization period 2 is continuously obtained, and the smart terminal associated with the first client is controlled to send the broadcast frame 2 to the Mesh network, and then the target device is continuously determined and related operations are performed within the optimization period 2. The specific implementation process can be found in the above description, and no further examples are given here.

[0140] It can be understood that the constraint conditions included in the broadcast frame 2 can be pre-configured empirical values, or can be values ​​determined in real time based on the operation execution result information of the target device in the target optimization period, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this. Among them, the operation execution result information of the target device in the target optimization period can at least include: the number of target devices existing around the smart terminal, the number of target devices that have completed related operations, etc. In other words, the first client can adjust the constraint conditions associated with the next optimization period based on the operation execution result information of the target device in the target optimization period, so as to perform redundancy optimization according to the adjusted constraint conditions when reaching the next optimization period.

[0141] For example, Figure 4 In the example given, the network configuration operations of all target devices are not completed within the operation execution time of the priority of the network to be configured in optimization period 1. The operation execution time of the priority of the network to be configured in optimization period 2 can be dynamically increased so that the network configuration operations of more devices to be configured can be completed within the adjusted operation execution time of the priority of the network to be configured.

[0142] Alternatively, the constraints associated with the next optimization period can be dynamically adjusted in combination with the interference situation detected automatically. For example, in the above example, when it is determined that there is a target device that has not completed the network configuration operation and it is detected that there are many devices to be configured in the surrounding area (the specific judgment threshold can be set according to actual usage requirements), the operation execution time of the priority of the network to be configured in the optimization period 2 can be dynamically adjusted.

[0143] For another example, when it is detected that there are many devices to be networked in the surrounding area, the RSSI threshold in the constraint condition can be dynamically lowered so that more devices to be networked can be determined as target devices to perform network configuration operations.

[0144] Specifically, the constraints associated with the optimization period can be dynamically adjusted according to actual usage requirements to better meet the redundancy optimization requirements of the Mesh network. The embodiments of the present application do not limit the dynamically adjusted parameters, adjustment values, adjustment timing, etc.

[0145] In this example, when the operation execution time of the configured network priority in the optimization period 2 is reached, the second client associated with the device Z can continue to determine it as the target device and interact with the smart terminal to perform the status reporting operation.

[0146] When optimization period 2 ends and optimization period 3 begins, the first client can obtain broadcast frame 3 associated with optimization period 3 and continue segment optimization processing. Figure 4 It can be seen that when the operation execution time of the configured network priority in the optimization period 3 is reached, since device A has completed the network configuration operation, at this time, the second clients associated with devices A and Z respectively determine the two as target devices to execute the status reporting operation.

[0147] Depend on Figure 4 It can be seen that as the number of devices to be configured decreases, the operation execution time of the priority group to be configured in the optimization period is shortened, and the corresponding operation execution time of the priority group to be configured is increasing. In this way, it can be ensured that more status reporting operations of the configured devices can be completed within the operation execution time of the priority group to be configured.

[0148] The above only takes devices A, B, C, and Z as an example to explain the implementation process of redundancy optimization. In actual applications, the Mesh network may also include more other devices not shown in the figure. The redundancy optimization processing for other devices can also refer to the above introduction.

[0149] In addition, it should be noted that after the target optimization period ends, the next optimization period can be entered immediately, or after a preset time interval; similarly, within the target optimization period, after the operation execution time of the priority of the network to be configured ends, the operation execution time of the priority of the configured network can be entered immediately, or after a certain time interval, the operation execution time of the priority of the configured network can be entered. The specific details can be determined according to actual usage requirements, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0150] Optionally, when the first client determines that the redundancy optimization result of the Mesh network matches the preset condition, the redundancy optimization phase can be exited. For example, the first client can send a new broadcast frame to the Mesh network through a smart terminal to notify the network-associated devices to exit the redundancy optimization phase and resume normal communication mode.

[0151] As an example, the preset condition may be reaching a preset number of optimizations. For example, the preset number of optimizations is 10, that is, the redundant optimization stage includes 10 optimization periods. After completing the redundant processing of 10 optimization periods, it can be determined that the redundant optimization result matches the preset condition, and the redundant optimization stage is exited.

[0152] Alternatively, the preset condition may be that the Mesh network does not have a network configuration operation requirement. For example, when there is no network configuration device in the network or the number of network configuration devices in the network is less than a preset number, it can be determined that the network does not have a network configuration requirement, the redundancy optimization result matches the preset condition, and the redundancy optimization stage can be exited.

[0153] Alternatively, the preset condition may be that the air interference problem of the Mesh network has been solved. For example, when the channel packet amount of the network is lower than the preset packet amount, it can be determined that the air interference problem has been solved, the redundancy optimization result matches the preset condition, and the redundancy optimization stage can be exited.

[0154] Alternatively, the preset condition may be that the abnormal broadcast success rate problem of the Mesh network has been solved. For example, when the broadcast success rate of the network configuration operation of the network's to-be-configured devices is higher than a first threshold, and / or the broadcast success rate of the status report of the configured devices is higher than a second threshold, it can be determined that the abnormal broadcast success rate problem has been solved, the redundancy optimization result matches the preset condition, and the redundancy optimization stage can be exited.
