[0032] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this disclosure, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.
[0033] This disclosure provides an operating parameter negotiation method, an electronic device, and a storage medium to further improve the device switching mechanism so as to ensure uninterrupted data transmission.
[0034] The method and apparatus are based on the same concept of the application. Since the methods and apparatus solve problems in similar ways, the implementation of the apparatus and methods can refer to each other, and the repeated parts will not be described again.
[0035] like Figure 1The illustration shows an application scenario diagram of an operation parameter negotiation method provided by this disclosure. Optionally, a station (STA) device, such as an electronic device with wireless network access capabilities, provides a frame delivery service to enable information transmission. An access point (AP) device, such as a device with wireless-to-wired bridging capabilities, is responsible for extending the services provided by the wired network to the wireless network.
[0036] See Figure 1 AP1 (the first AP) communicates with the STA as the associated AP, while AP2 (the second AP) acts as a roaming AP. If the communication quality between the STA and the associated AP is poor, the STA can switch to another roaming AP for communication, for example, by switching to... Figure 1 AP2 in the context. During seamless handover, the STA only needs to communicate with other APs for data, but the information of the roaming AP (AP MLD)'s working / operation parameters may be consistent with the information of the associated AP (AP MLD), which would be too long if included in a beacon frame or association response frame.
[0037] In this embodiment of the disclosure, AP1 executes step 101, sending a first radio frame to STA. The first radio frame carries a first information element of the first AP and a second information element of the second AP. The first information element includes first operation parameter information, such as UHR operation parameters, basic UHR-MCS and NSS set, and UHR operation information. The basic UHR-MCS and NSS set, for example, supports a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) of 640MHz or 480MHz and a maximum number of spatial streams (NSS) of 16 or 32.
[0038] For example, the format of the first information element is shown in Table 1 below:
[0039] Table 1:
[0040]
[0041] The first wireless frame may include one or more second information elements, each of which may correspond to a second AP. In this embodiment, AP1 and AP2 may be multi-link access point devices (AP MLDs), and STA may be non-access point multi-link devices (Non-AP MLDs). For ease of explanation, APs and STAs will be described as single-link devices in the following examples.
[0042] Optionally, the first information element and one or more second information elements can form an information element, such as a multi-link information element.
[0043] STA performs step 102, parses the first radio frame, and obtains the type identifier of the first information element, the operation parameter information corresponding to the type identifier, and the type identifier of the second information element. The type identifier is used to identify the type of the information element. For example, the type identifier can be the type subfield value of a multi-link information element, as shown in Table 2 below.
[0044] Table 2:
[0045]
[0046] As shown in Table 2, the type subfield value 5 is used to represent the type identifier of the first information element and the second information element. The type subfield value 5 is used to identify that the type of the multi-connection information element is operation parameter information.
[0047] Specifically, during the parsing of the first radio frame, the STA continues to execute steps 103, 104, and 105.
[0048] Step 103: If the type identifier of the first information element is the same as the type identifier of the second information element, for example, both are 5; and the second information element does not include the element identifier (element ID, for example, the information element ID and / or extended information element ID in Table 1), for example, the same element ID value cannot be parsed in the second information element, then the first operation parameter information is determined as the second operation parameter information. In this way, the AP no longer needs to carry the second operation parameter information in the first wireless frame, and uses the first operation parameter information as the second operation parameter information, so that the same operation parameter will not appear repeatedly, avoiding the message frame length being too long, which is not conducive to saving device power, nor is it conducive to the effective use of spectrum.
[0049] For example, if the STA parses a type identifier x in the first information element and the same type identifier value in the second information element during the parsing of the first radio frame, and the element IDs of the two information elements are different, then the operation parameter values corresponding to the two APs are the same; for AP1, only one operation parameter information needs to be carried.
[0050] Wherein, if the second operation parameter information is the same as the first operation parameter information, then the second information element does not include the target element in the common information domain. The target element is such as medium synchronization delay information, EML capabilities, MLD capabilities and operations and / or extended MLD capabilities and operations.
[0051] Step 104: During the parsing of the first radio frame, the STA finds that the type identifier of the first information element is the same as the type identifier of the second information element; and the second information element includes the element identifier of the first information element. For example, if the same element ID value as the first information element is parsed in the second information element, it indicates that the operation parameter information corresponding to the two element IDs is different. Then, the second information element is further parsed to obtain the second operation parameter information in the second information element.
[0052] The second information element includes a per-STA profile field, and the second operation parameter information is carried in the per-STA profile field; for example, when there are multiple second information elements, the second operation parameter information of each second information element is carried in its respective per-STA profile field.
[0053] Step 105: If the type identifier of the first information element is different from the type identifier of the second information element, then parse the second information element and obtain the second operation parameter information in the second information element.
[0054] The second information element includes a per-STA profile field, and the second operation parameter information is carried in the per-STA profile field.
[0055] Step 106: When the communication quality between the STA and the associated AP is poor, the STA switches to the second AP according to the second operation parameter information.
[0056] See Figure 2 , Figure 2 An operating parameter negotiation method is provided, applied to a site device (STA), the method comprising:
[0057] Step 201: Receive a first wireless frame sent by the first AP; wherein the first wireless frame includes a first information element of the first AP and a second information element of the second AP; the first information element includes first operation parameter information.
[0058] The STA receives the first radio frame and parses it to obtain the first information element of the first AP and the second information element of the second AP. The first information element includes first operation parameter information, such as UHR operation parameters, basic UHR-MCS and NSS set, and UHR operation information. The basic UHR-MCS and NSS set includes parameters such as supporting 640MHz or 480MHz MCS and NSS of 16 or 32.
[0059] For example, the format of the first information element is shown in Table 1 above, and will not be repeated here.
[0060] The first radio frame may include one or more second information elements, each of which may correspond to a second access point (AP). Optionally, the first information element and one or more second information elements may form a single information element, such as a multi-link information element.
[0061] Step 202: Based on the type identifier of the first information element and the operation parameter information corresponding to the type identifier of the first information element, parse the second information element and determine the second operation parameter information of the second information element;
[0062] The STA continues to parse the first radio frame to obtain the type identifier of the first information element, the operation parameter information corresponding to the type identifier, and the type identifier of the second information element. The type identifier is used to identify the type of the information element. For example, the type identifier can be the type subfield value of the multi-link information element. As shown in Table 2 above, the type subfield value 5 is used to represent the type identifiers of the first and second information elements. The type subfield value 5 is used to identify that the type of the multi-link information element is operation parameter information.
[0063] During the parsing of the first radio frame, the STA parses the second information element based on the type identifier of the first information element and the operation parameter information corresponding to the type identifier of the first information element, and determines the second operation parameter information of the second information element; wherein the second operation parameter information is the same as or different from the first operation parameter information.
[0064] If they are the same, the AP does not need to carry the second operation parameter information in the first wireless frame. Instead, it can use the first operation parameter information as the second operation parameter information, so that the same operation parameter will not appear repeatedly, thus avoiding excessively long message frames and saving power for the device.
[0065] Furthermore, if the second operation parameter information is the same as the first operation parameter information, then the second information element does not include the target element in the public information domain. The target element is, for example, Medium synchronization Delayinformation, EML Capabilities, MLD Capabilities and operations and / or Extend MLDCapabilities and operations.
[0066] If they are different, STA further parses the second information element to obtain the second operation parameter information in the second information element.
[0067] In this embodiment, the STA receives a first wireless frame sent by a first AP; wherein the first wireless frame includes a first information element of the first AP and a second information element of the second AP; the first information element includes first operation parameter information; based on the type identifier of the first information element and the operation parameter information corresponding to the type identifier of the first information element, the second information element is parsed, and the second operation parameter information of the second information element is determined; if the second operation parameter information is the same as the first operation parameter information, the AP may not carry the second operation parameter information separately in the first wireless frame, and may use the first operation parameter information as the second operation parameter information, so that the same operation parameter will not appear repeatedly, avoiding excessively long message frames, which is not conducive to device power saving. This embodiment provides, for example, a method for negotiating operation parameters, further improving the device handover mechanism.
[0068] Optionally, in this embodiment of the disclosure, the step of parsing the second information element and determining the second operation parameter information of the second information element based on the type identifier of the first information element and the operation parameter information corresponding to the type identifier of the first information element includes at least one of cases one to three:
[0069] In scenario one, if the type identifier of the first information element is the same as the type identifier of the second information element, and the second information element does not include the element identifier of the first information element, then the first operation parameter information is determined as the second operation parameter information.
[0070] If the type identifier of the first information element is the same as the type identifier of the second information element, for example, both are 5; and the second information element does not include the element identifier (element ID, such as the information element ID and / or extended information element ID in Table 1) of the first information element, for example, the same element ID value cannot be parsed in the second information element, then the first operation parameter information is determined as the second operation parameter information. In this way, the AP does not need to carry the second operation parameter information in the first wireless frame, and uses the first operation parameter information as the second operation parameter information, so that the same operation parameter will not appear repeatedly, avoiding the message frame being too long, which is not conducive to saving power of the device.
[0071] For example, if the STA parses a type identifier x in the first information element and the same type identifier value in the second information element during the parsing of the first radio frame, and the element IDs of the two information elements are different, then the operation parameter values corresponding to the two APs are the same; for AP1, only one operation parameter information needs to be carried.
[0072] In the second scenario, if the type identifier of the first information element is the same as the type identifier of the second information element, and the second information element includes the element identifier of the first information element, then the second information element is parsed to obtain the second operation parameter information in the second information element.
[0073] During the parsing of the first radio frame, the type identifier of the first information element is the same as the type identifier of the second information element; and the second information element includes the element identifier of the first information element. For example, if the same element ID value as the first information element is parsed in the second information element, it means that the operation parameter information corresponding to the two element IDs is different. Then, the second information element is further parsed to obtain the second operation parameter information in the second information element.
[0074] Scenario 3: If the type identifier of the first information element is different from the type identifier of the second information element, it means that the element types of the two are different. In this case, the second information element is parsed to obtain the second operation parameter information in the second information element.
[0075] Optionally, in this embodiment of the disclosure, the first operation parameter information and / or the second operation parameter information includes at least one of the following:
[0076] UHR operation parameters, basic UHR MCS and NSS set, and UHR operation information.
[0077] Optionally, in this embodiment of the disclosure, the second operation parameter information is different from the first operation parameter information. The second information element includes a per-STA profile field, and the second operation parameter information is carried in the per-STA profile field. For example, when multiple second information elements are included, the second operation parameter information of each second information element is carried in its respective per-STA profile field.
[0078] or
[0079] The second operation parameter information is the same as the first operation parameter information. The second information element does not include target elements in the public information domain. Target elements include, for example, Medium synchronization Delayinformation, EML Capabilities, MLD Capabilities and operations, and / or Extend MLDCapabilities and operations.
[0080] Optionally, in this embodiment of the present disclosure, the first wireless frame includes first identification information, and the first identification information indicates that the first wireless frame includes the second information element.
[0081] The first identification information is carried in the first radio frame to identify that it contains the operation parameter information of other roaming APs (or AP MLDs), so that the STA can parse the operation parameter information of other roaming APs according to the first identification information.
[0082] In this embodiment, the STA receives a first wireless frame sent by a first AP; wherein the first wireless frame includes a first information element of the first AP and a second information element of the second AP; the second information element is parsed according to the type identifier of the first information element and the operation parameter information corresponding to the type identifier of the first information element; if the second operation parameter information is the same as the first operation parameter information, the AP may not carry the second operation parameter information separately in the first wireless frame, and use the first operation parameter information as the second operation parameter information, so that the same operation parameter will not appear repeatedly, avoiding excessively long message frames, which is not conducive to saving power of the device.
[0083] See Figure 3 This disclosure provides an operating parameter negotiation method, which can optionally be applied to a first access point device (AP). The method may include the following steps:
[0084] Step 301: Determine the first wireless frame; wherein the first wireless frame includes a first information element of the first AP and a second information element of the second AP; the first information element includes first operation parameter information.
[0085] The first AP determines the first radio frame, which carries a first information element of the first AP and a second information element of the second AP. The first information element includes first operation parameter information, such as UHR operation parameters, basic UHR-MCS and NSS set, and UHR operation information. The basic UHR-MCS and NSS set includes parameters such as supporting 640MHz or 480MHz MCS and NSS of 16 or 32.
[0086] For example, the format of the first information element is shown in Table 1 above, and will not be repeated here.
[0087] The first radio frame may include one or more second information elements, each of which may correspond to a second access point (AP). Optionally, the first information element and one or more second information elements may form a single information element, such as a multi-link information element.
[0088] Step 302: Send the first radio frame, instructing the station device STA to parse the second information element according to the type identifier of the first information element and the operation parameter information corresponding to the type identifier of the first information element, and determine the second operation parameter information of the second information element; wherein the second operation parameter information is the same as or different from the first operation parameter information.
[0089] The first AP sends the first wireless frame, instructing the STA to parse the first wireless frame and obtain the type identifier of the first information element, the operation parameter information corresponding to the type identifier, and the type identifier of the second information element. The type identifier is used to identify the type of the information element. For example, the type identifier can be the type subfield value of the multi-link information element. As shown in Table 2 above, the type subfield value 5 is used to represent the type identifiers of the first and second information elements. The type subfield value 5 is used to identify that the type of the multi-link information element is operation parameter information.
[0090] During the parsing of the first radio frame, the STA parses the second information element based on the type identifier of the first information element and the operation parameter information corresponding to the type identifier of the first information element, and determines the second operation parameter information of the second information element; wherein the second operation parameter information is the same as or different from the first operation parameter information.
[0091] If they are the same, the AP does not need to carry the second operation parameter information in the first wireless frame. Instead, it can use the first operation parameter information as the second operation parameter information, so that the same operation parameter will not appear repeatedly, thus avoiding excessively long message frames and saving power for the device.
[0092] Furthermore, if the second operation parameter information is the same as the first operation parameter information, then the second information element does not include the target element in the public information domain. The target element is, for example, Medium synchronization Delayinformation, EML Capabilities, MLD Capabilities and operations and / or Extend MLDCapabilities and operations.
[0093] If they are different, STA further parses the second information element to obtain the second operation parameter information in the second information element.
[0094] Optionally, in this embodiment of the disclosure, if the type identifier of the first information element is the same as the type identifier of the second information element, and the second information element does not include the element identifier of the first information element, then the first operation parameter information is determined as the second operation parameter information;
[0095] If the type identifier of the first information element is the same as the type identifier of the second information element, and the second information element includes the element identifier of the first information element, then the second information element is parsed to obtain the second operation parameter information in the second information element;
[0096] or
[0097] If the type identifier of the first information element is different from the type identifier of the second information element, then the second information element is parsed to obtain the second operation parameter information in the second information element.
[0098] Optionally, in this embodiment of the disclosure, the first operation parameter information and / or the second operation parameter information includes at least one of the following:
[0099] UHR operation parameters, basic UHR MCS and NSS set, and UHR operation information.
[0100] Optionally, in this embodiment of the disclosure, the second operation parameter information is different from the first operation parameter information, and the second information element includes a per-STA profile field, and the second operation parameter information is carried in the per-STA profile field;
[0101] or
[0102] The second operation parameter information is the same as the first operation parameter information, but the second information element does not include the target element in the public information field.
[0103] Optionally, in this embodiment of the present disclosure, the first wireless frame includes first identification information, and the first identification information indicates that the first wireless frame includes the second information element.
[0104] In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the first AP determines and sends a first wireless frame; wherein, the first wireless frame includes a first information element of the first AP and a second information element of the second AP; the second information element is parsed according to the type identifier of the first information element and the operation parameter information corresponding to the type identifier of the first information element; if the second operation parameter information is the same as the first operation parameter information, the AP may not carry the second operation parameter information separately in the first wireless frame, and use the first operation parameter information as the second operation parameter information, so that the same operation parameter will not appear repeatedly, avoiding the message frame being too long, which is not conducive to saving power of the device.
