Background technology
IEEE (IEEE) now develops into an international academic institution gradually, and its academic activities have been extended to all over the world.Emerging in large numbers of IEEE 802.11 equipment, make WLAN (wireless local area network) develop on an unprecedented scale, 802.11n the appearance of agreement, be the upgrading to 802.11 series, some key technologies that it has adopted the 4G mobile communication are OFDM (OFDM) technology, multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) technology, smart antenna and software radio etc. for example.By these technology, make the equipment of 802.11n in indexs such as message transmission rate, transmission reliability, transmission coverages considerable raising arranged.
Referring to Fig. 1, it is the structural representation of existing 802.11n system.In 802.11n, be within a certain particular coverage, and have certain related website (STA) composition Basic Service Set (BSS), usually, STA is associated by access point (AP), has an AP in each BSS, and different BSS interconnects by compartment system (DS).Form an extended service set (ESS) by the interconnective BSS of DS.
The association process of STA and AP normally, AP surveys STA by broadcast beacon frame, and STA is by the existence of passive searching beacon transmissions or utilization " probe request "/" probe response " active probe AP, after this process finishes, utilize " related request "/" associated response " foundation related between STA and the AP, STA receives and dispatches data by AP then.
When STA leaves the BSS at its place, perhaps AP wishes STA is removed from BSS, then can realize by " going association " frame.This removes disassociation frame is not a request, so the counterparty only responds to this frame of receiving.
In each beacon frame, probe request frame, probe response frame, association request frame and association response frame, can comprise " HT ability " field, in this " HT ability " field, comprise one " green field " son field, should " green field " son field be used for representing whether to support to receive HT green field PPDU frame format, this field is generally 1 bit, be set to 0 expression and do not support, arrange 1 and express support for.
In the beacon frame that is sent by AP, probe response frame and association response frame, all can comprise " HT information " field, should comprise one " having non-green field HT STA " field in " HT information " field, this field be used for expression all related HT STA whether all have the green field ability, this field is generally 1 bit, be set to 0 expression all related HT STA all have the green field ability; Be set to 1 and represent that related one or more HT STA do not have the green field ability.
802.11n the elementary cell of the physical layer transmission of system is PLCP protocol Data Unit (PPDU, PLCP Protocol Data Unit, wherein PLCP is physical layer convergence procedure (Physical LayerConvergence Procedure)) frame, each PPDU frame comprises lead code and data two parts.Lead code is the training sequence in the WLAN (wireless local area network), is used for synchronously, channel estimating and automatic gain control etc.The IEEE802.11n standard has been stipulated three kinds of mode of operations of system for the version before the back compatible, i.e. traditional mode, mixed mode (MF) and green field pattern (GF), and these three kinds of patterns are distinguished by lead code.
Particularly, AP is 1 with the bit set of " green field " son field in the HT capable field in the beacon frame that sends broadcasting, waits for that then STA replys.STA is behind the beacon that receives the AP transmission, can be according to oneself supporting the pattern of lead code to reply, if STA supports the lead code of GF pattern, then the bit of " green field " son field in the HT capable field is 1, and the PPDU frame of replying can send with the lead code of GF pattern; The B4 bit is 0 in the HT capable field that STA replys if having, and then the type of this STA has two kinds of situations, and 1. this STA does not support the HT equipment of GF pattern, and this STA PPDU frame of replying can send with the lead code of MF pattern so; 2. this STA is traditional equipment of not supporting HT, and the PPDU that this STA replys very can send with the lead code of traditional mode.
At present, for supporting that high-throughput (HT) is the 802.11n equipment of green field pattern, as transmitter the time, if detect, some is the 802.11n equipment of supporting HT for receiving equipment, another part is not support the equipment of HT such as 802.11a/b/g equipment etc., and launching opportunity works in the MF pattern so; The equipment of not supporting HT of receiving terminal can work in traditional mode, and the HT equipment of receiving terminal then works in the MF pattern because there are not other patterns to select.
In the prior art, the equipment of traditional 802.11a/b/g has been equipment on the verge of being replaced, occupy among most BSS at a 802.11n HT equipment, as long as the existence of a legacy equipment is arranged, transmitter just has to sacrifice the support GF pattern lead code with high-throughput advantage, and the low relatively HT MF lead code of serviceability.

Connect with the STA that adopts GF pattern and non-GF pattern lead code, adopt GF pattern or non-GF pattern to send lead code so that be connected to the STA of described BSS.Also namely, all operations all reverts on the existing mode of operation.
So far, when in a BSS, when having more relatively equipment (concrete quantity or ratio can be determined according to the actual requirements) not support the 802.11n equipment of HT, can return to existing state.
Below in conjunction with an instantiation, the present invention is elaborated again.
Referring to Fig. 4, it is the schematic diagram of the selection lead code of one instantiation according to the present invention.Set in advance a statistics module in the present embodiment, comprise first counter (Counter1) 401, first counter (Counter2) 402, switch 403, divider (Divider 404, timer (Time) 405 in this module;
Initial condition switch 403 places a end, like this, allow the value of Counter1 401 as dividend, allow the value of Counter2 402 as divisor, counter Counter1 401, Counter2 402 and Timer 405 are in standby condition, Divider 404 is in not enabled state.
Whenever the lead code that detects a PPDU frame sends with the GF pattern, and add among this BSS, then then Counter1 value-1 is left in the value among the Counter1+1; Whenever the lead code that detects a PPDU frame sends with non-GF pattern such as HT MF pattern or traditional mode, and add this BSS, then then Counter2 value-1 is left in the value among the Counter2+1.
After each STA adds or leaves, all can give 405 1 reset signals of Timer, Timer is picked up counting, in the section as when not having counter within the 360s again and not having numerical value and change, then Divider 404 begins computings at the fixed time.In the present embodiment, be after the each numerical value of Counter1 and Counter2 changes, give signal of Timer respectively, so that Timer picks up counting; In other possible embodiment, also can be Counter1 and Counter2 all be connected to one or, be connected to Timer by this or door, like this, no matter Counter1 still is that the numerical value of Counter2 changes, the capital is triggered Timer and is picked up counting, also have a kind of possible embodiment to be, when the upper layer application of AP knows that the value of Counter1 or Counter2 sends variation, directly trigger Timer by the upper layer application of AP and pick up counting, as seen, in this article, as long as can trigger Timer, the mode to concrete triggering Timer does not limit.
Calculate the ratio of Counter1 and Counter2, and this ratio is compared as first ratio and first threshold, getting first threshold in the present embodiment is 8;
If any operation is not taked in Counter1/Counter2<8;
If Counter1/Counter2 〉=8, then AP only connects with the STA that adopts GF pattern lead code, all adopt the GF pattern to send lead code so that be connected to the STA of BSS, concrete, the STA that AP has connected in all BSS sends and removes disassociation frame, and then broadcast beacon frame, in this broadcast beacon frame except being 1 with " green field " son field set in the HT capable field, the pressure of " having non-green field HT STA " in also will the HT information field is set to 0, be equivalent to interrupt to adopt the connection of the STA of GF pattern like this, guaranteed that all STA that can adopt the GF pattern send the lead code of GF pattern.
Afterwards, further, Divider can send (reset) signal that resets to MF detection module 408 and the traditional mode detection module 409 among the AP, so that above-mentioned MF detection module 408 and traditional mode detection module 409 are reset to initial condition, and send a signal to clock unit clk 406, make the clock end of clock unit clk 406 only to GF detection module clock signal, thereby close the clock signal of MF detection module 408 and traditional mode detection module 409.So far, MF detection module 408 and traditional mode detection module 409 are closed.All STA that reenter this BSS can namely make the STA that is connected to BSS adopt GF pattern lead code to send data with the lead code transmitting-receiving data of GF pattern like this.
After the STA that is connected to BSS adopted GF pattern lead code to send data, with the value zero clearing of Counter2402 and Divider 404, the Counter2 clock enabled to put low, thereby closes Counter2.
Then, the value of Counter1 is sent into Divider, switch places b end, like this, makes the current value of Counter1 as dividend.
Afterwards, if the lead code that detects a PPDU frame again sends with the GF pattern, and add among this BSS, then then Counter1 value-1 is left in the value among the Counter1+1, and at this moment the currency of Counter1 being designated as Counter1 ' is third value.After each STA adds or leaves, all can give 405 1 reset signals of Timer, Timer is picked up counting, in the section as when not having counter within the 360s again and not having numerical value and change, Divider 404 begins computings at the fixed time.
Calculate the ratio of Counter1 and Counter1 ', and this ratio is compared as second ratio and second threshold value, getting second threshold value in the present embodiment is 2;
If any operation is not taked in Counter1/Counter1 ' 〉=2;
If Counter1/Counter1 '<2, then AP connects with the STA that adopts MF pattern lead code, adopts GF pattern lead code or non-GF pattern lead code to send data so that be connected to the STA of BSS.Need to prove that AP adopts MF pattern lead code to get final product the STA of compatible various lead code forms.Concrete, AP carries out a reset operation, recovers the detection to MF pattern and traditional mode lead code; That is to say, AP allows MF detection module 408 and traditional mode detection module 409 open again and executable operations, like this, just can connect with the STA that adopts GF pattern and non-GF pattern lead code, adopt GF pattern or non-GF pattern to send lead code so that be connected to the STA of described BSS.Also namely, make GF detection module 407, MF detection module 408 and traditional mode detection module 409 all in running order, all operations all reverts on the existing mode of operation.
So far, guaranteed in a BSS that the overwhelming majority is when supporting the 802.11n equipment of HT, only to adopt the lead code of GF pattern to finish transmission of Information.And, stop the lead code of MF pattern and traditional mode is detected by AP, can avoid the troublesome operation that between a plurality of 802.11n lead code kinds, detects automatically, switch, thereby improve the stability of a system, and further improve the efficiency of transmission of system.And, when in a BSS, when having more relatively equipment not support the 802.11n equipment of HT, can return to existing state.
