Description

Resource scheduling indication method and device

Technical Field

The invention relates to the field of communication, in particular to an indication method and device for resource scheduling.

Background

At present, in the field of wireless networks, WLAN (wireless local area network) is rapidly developing, and a series of standards such as IEEE802.11 a/b/g/n/ac are successively defined by the IEEE802.11 group, which is an institute of electrical and electronics engineers industry specification, to meet the increasing communication demand, and the standards are mostly directed to improving 802.11 technology to improve the maximum physical layer transmission rate or the maximum network throughput. For example, the 802.11ac technology can achieve a data rate of 1Gbps or more by introducing a larger channel bandwidth, a higher-order MIMO (multiple input multiple output) technology, and the like. However, as the network density increases and the number of users increases, the efficiency of the WLAN network tends to decrease significantly, and the problem of network efficiency cannot be solved by simply increasing the transmission rate. Thus, the IEEE standards organization has established a TGax task group to address WLAN network efficiency issues.

In a WLAN, an AP (access point) and a plurality of non-AP STAs (non-AP stations) associated with the AP form a BSS (basic service set).

In the currently mainstream WLAN standard (IEEE 802.11a/g/n/ac), the physical layer adopts an OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division multiplexing) modulation technique, and the bandwidth of a wireless channel used for each communication is an integer Multiple of a basic bandwidth of 20MHz (20/40/80/160MHz), but since the wireless channel has an inherent property of a coherent bandwidth, and the coherent bandwidth is usually much less than 20MHz, a transceiver uses a complete wireless channel with a bandwidth of 20MHz and more in one communication, which may cause a low spectrum utilization.

The TGax task group introduces OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) as a main technology of the next-generation WLAN standard, so as to improve the spectrum utilization rate. In the current standard research progress, the 20MHz bandwidth is divided into a plurality of small bandwidths, the AP can communicate with a plurality of non-access point stations at the same time, each non-access point station can use one or more small bandwidths, and the non-access point stations use several small bandwidths and which need the AP to send out relevant control information to indicate.

In WLAN, the indication information usually uses a fixed number of bits, and adopts a bitmap mode, if in the 802.11ax standard, the resource indication still adopts this mode, the number of bits occupied by it will be very large, especially under the condition that the channel bandwidth is greater than 20MHz and the number of STAs (stations) is large; for example, each 20MHz channel bandwidth is divided into 9 schedulable small bandwidths, there are 36 schedulable independent small bandwidths under the 80MHz channel bandwidth, if a simple bitmap mode is adopted, that is, each resource block occupies one bit, if there are 4 STAs, each STA will use 36 bits, 144 bits in total, and in order to improve the reliability of control information transmission such as scheduling, in the WLAN, a Coding and Modulation Scheme (MCS) with a lower rate is usually used for transmission, which increases the ratio of transmission time occupied by the indication information to data transmission time, and further decreases the transmission efficiency.
