Description

Method, device and system for transmitting signaling or sequence, computer storage medium

Technical field

The present invention relates to information transmission technologies in the field of wireless communication, and in particular, to a signaling, sequence transmission method, device and system, and computer storage medium.

Background technique

In the field of wireless networks, Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) are widely used due to their fast data rates. For example, 802.11ac technology introduces larger channel bandwidth and higher-order multi-input and output systems. Technologies such as MIMO (Multiple-Input Multiple-Output) enable data rates transmitted in WLANs to reach more than 1 Gbps. However, with the increase of network density and the increase of the number of users, the network efficiency of WLAN will show a significant downward trend.

In the prior art, technologies such as multi-user transmission and narrower Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) subcarrier spacing are used to improve the network efficiency of the WLAN. Specifically, in the WLAN, an access station (AP, Access Point) and a plurality of stations (STA, Station) associated with the AP form a base station subsystem (BSS).

In a BSS, on the one hand, multi-user transmission technology, such as Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) technology, or multi-user multiple input multiple output (MU-MIMO, Multi-User Multiple-) The multiple multiplexes and the APs are in parallel communication, that is, the APs simultaneously send downlink data frames of the same transmission time length to multiple STAs, and multiple STAs simultaneously send uplink data frames of the same transmission time length to the AP to complete the data. Transmission; on the other hand, narrowing the subcarrier spacing of the subcarriers for transmitting the above uplink and downlink data frames (for example, 1/4 of the subcarrier spacing of the conventional WLAN device), so that In the same channel bandwidth, the number of subcarriers that can be used to transmit uplink and downlink between the AP and the STA increases, that is, the number of channels for transmitting uplink and downlink data frames between the AP and the STA increases. It can be seen that the network efficiency of the WLAN is improved according to the solution of the prior art.

However, in the process of adopting the above prior art, on the one hand, since the multi-user transmission technology requires that the transmission time lengths of multiple users (AP or multiple STAs) transmit data frames be consistent, and the data frames to be transmitted by each user The data length and the data rate are not necessarily the same. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 1, in order to align the transmission time length, the data load of the data frame to be sent by some users is padded using padding bits, thereby This causes the AP or STA to occupy more channel resources to transmit padding bits. On the other hand, if the OFDM transmission technique is used and the subcarrier spacing is narrowed, the subcarrier spacing is narrowed, which causes the period of the symbol to become longer, and each symbol carries more data frames due to the data frame transmission requirement. Complemented into an integer number of OFDM symbols, therefore, after the OFDM symbol becomes longer, the data payload of the data frame requires more padding bits. In addition, the number of data that each symbol can carry increases, so that more reserved bits are added to the physical layer header of the transmitted data frame. Therefore, the AP or STA needs to occupy more channel resources to transmit padding bits or reserved bits. It can be seen that when the multi-user transmission technology and the narrower sub-carrier spacing are used, more padding bits and reserved bits are transmitted, that is, useless padding information, resulting in occupying more channel resources, thereby causing waste of channel resources.

Embodiment 1

An embodiment of the present invention provides a signaling or sequence sending method. As shown in FIG. 3, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for transmitting signaling or sequence on an AP side when an AP and a STA perform downlink data frame transmission. The method can include:

S101: The AP determines m downlink data frames to be sent, where the m downlink data frames are in one-to-one correspondence with m STAs, and m≥2.

It should be noted that the application scenario of the embodiment of the present invention is multi-user transmission, that is, a process in which an AP and m STAs perform data transmission in one BSS.

In the embodiment of the present invention, in a BSS, the common value of m is 4, and the value range of the specific m may be determined according to the design of the actual researcher, and the present invention is not limited.

The multi-user transmission technology used in the embodiment of the present invention may be MU-MIMO or OFDMA, and specifically, downlink MU-MIMO or downlink OFDMA is adopted.

Specifically, in a BSS, the AP first determines m STAs that communicate with the same, and m downlink data frames to be sent to the m STAs, where the m downlink data frames correspond to m STAs one by one, m ≥2.

It should be noted that the lengths of the downlink data to be transmitted of the m downlink data frames to be sent by the AP to the m STAs are not necessarily the same, and the data types, that is, the transmission parameters are not necessarily the same, wherein the transmission parameters are during the transmission process of the AP and the STA. Related parameters may include: Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS), MIMO stream number and bandwidth.

S102: The AP loads the applicable padding information into the m downlink data frames for updating, where the useful padding information is used to represent parameter information that is available in addition to the service data in the process of transmitting data between the AP and the m STAs.

It should be noted that, in the multi-user transmission process, the transmission time length of the downlink data frame sent by the AP to the m STAs must be the same, and the downlink data length to be transmitted of the m downlink data frames is different from the MCS, resulting in m downlink data frames. The respective transmission time lengths are different. In order to achieve a uniform transmission time length, there are downlink data frames in the m data frames that need to be filled with information, or the reserved bits in the downlink data frame increase due to the use of the narrow subcarrier spacing, the m data. There are downlink data frames in the frame that need to be filled with information.

Specifically, after the AP determines the m downlink data frames to be sent, because the length of the downlink data to be sent in the m data frames is different, the AP loads the downlink data frames to be filled in the m downlink data frames. The information is padded and updated, wherein the useful padding information is used to represent parameter information that is available in addition to the service data in the process of transmitting data between the AP and the m STAs.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the foregoing useful padding information may be control signaling information or an extended training domain, and may also be a control signaling sub-domain.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the control signaling information or the control signaling sub-domain includes: to-be-sent data buffer state information, receive data buffer state information, channel state information, link adaptive control signaling, reverse transmission control signaling, At least one of data scrambling seed and quality of service (QoS) control signaling.

It should be noted that the control signaling information in the embodiment of the present invention is a control signaling subframe or a control signaling field.

Specifically, the AP loads the useful padding information into the m downlink data frames, and the method for updating is described in detail in subsequent embodiments.

S103. The AP sends the updated m downlink data frames to the corresponding m STAs.

The AP loads the useful padding information into the m downlink data frames. After the update, the AP sends the updated m downlink data frames to the corresponding m STAs.

It can be understood that, in the process of the normal downlink communication service between the AP and the m STAs, at least one downlink data frame is filled according to the service performed by the AP and each STA, which is useful in the embodiment of the present invention. The padding information is padded and updated for the at least one downlink data frame, and after the update, the m downlink data frames are sent to the corresponding STAs, so that the useful padding information in the updated at least one downlink data frame is corresponding to at least one The STA receives that the at least one STA is aware of other useful information other than the service.

Exemplarily, it is assumed that the useful padding information loaded in one of the data frames is received data buffer status information, and the received data buffer status information may be used to represent the buffered status information of the sent downlink data in the data frame for receiving the The STA of a data frame determines whether it can have excess storage space to receive the next downlink data frame.

The first indication information is carried in a signaling domain of a physical layer header of the downlink data frame.

S202. When the first indication information indicates that the control signaling information or the extended training sequence is loaded, the STA acquires the control signaling information or the extended training sequence.

After receiving the downlink data frame sent by the AP, the STA determines whether there is loading control signaling information or an extended training sequence according to the content of the first indication information in the downlink data frame. After learning the information of loading control signaling information or extending the training sequence, the STA acquires the control signaling information or the extended training sequence.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the control signaling information includes at least one of a start sequence of the control signaling information, indication information of the length of the control signaling information, and indication information of a type of control signaling that is carried.

Specifically, the method for the STA to acquire the control signaling information or the extended training sequence will be described in detail in subsequent embodiments.

The embodiment of the present invention provides another method for signaling or sequence transmission. As shown in FIG. 5, the embodiment of the present invention provides another AP or STA for uplink data frame transmission, and the AP side signaling or sequence. Sending method, the method may include:

S301: The AP sends an uplink scheduling frame to the STA, where the uplink scheduling frame is used to schedule the m STAs to simultaneously send the uplink data frame to the AP, where m≥2.

Specifically, in the process of the uplink communication service between the AP and the STA, after the AP competes for the channel resource, the AP sends the uplink scheduling frame to the m STAs that communicate with the AP, so that the m STAs transmit the same transmission at the same transmission time point. An uplink data frame of a length of time to the AP, where the uplink scheduling frame may include: request information, where the request information may be used to request the foregoing m STAs to send control signaling information to the AP, where the request information includes control signaling The type of information. However, whether m STAs respond to the above request information is determined by each STA according to its actual situation, and m≥2.

S302: The AP receives m uplink data frames sent by the m STAs, where the m uplink data frames respectively include m first indication information, where the m first indication information are used to indicate data of the m uplink data frames, respectively. Whether to load control signaling information or extend the training sequence in the load.

After the AP sends the uplink scheduling frame to the STA, the AP receives m uplink data frames sent by the m STAs, and each of the uplink data frames includes the first indication information. The AP determines, according to the contents of the m first indication information, which of the m uplink data frames have load control signaling information or an extended training sequence.

The first indication information is carried in a signaling domain of a physical layer header of the uplink data frame.

S303. When the first indication information indicates that there is loading control signaling information or an extended training sequence, the AP acquires the control signaling information or the content of the extended training sequence.

After the AP receives the m uplink data frames sent by the m STAs, the AP obtains the first indication information in the at least one uplink data frame indicating that the load control signaling information or the extended training sequence is included in the m uplink data frames. The control signaling information or the content of the extended training sequence.

It should be noted that when the m STAs send the respective uplink data frames to the AP, the uplink data frames sent by at least one STA need to be filled with information, that is, the useful padding information is loaded.

The embodiment of the present invention further provides another signaling or sequence sending method. As shown in FIG. 6, the embodiment of the present invention provides another type of signaling or sequence of the STA side when the AP and the STA perform uplink data frame transmission. Sending method, the method may include:

S401. The STA receives an uplink scheduling frame that is sent by the AP, where the uplink scheduling frame includes the identifiers and scheduling information of the scheduled m STAs, where the uplink scheduling frame is used to schedule the m STAs to simultaneously send the uplink data frame to the AP, where ≥2.

It should be noted that, when the AP and the STA perform uplink data frame transmission, after the AP contends for the channel resource, the AP sends an uplink scheduling frame to the STA, indicating which uplink channel resources the STA can use to send the uplink data frame. A person skilled in the art can understand that the STA only transmits the uplink data frame after receiving the scheduling frame sent by the AP.

Specifically, in the multi-user transmission, one STA receives an uplink scheduling frame sent by the AP, and the scheduling information of the uplink scheduling frame includes identifiers and scheduling information of the scheduled m STAs, where the uplink scheduling frame is used to schedule the m Each STA simultaneously sends an uplink data frame to the AP, and m≥2.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the foregoing scheduling information includes an uplink transmission start time point and an uplink transmission time length.

It should be noted that, in a BSS, m STAs perform uplink communication services with the AP, and each STA receives an uplink scheduling frame sent by the AP, and m uplink scheduling frames respectively correspond to m STAs, and the m The scheduling information of the uplink scheduling frame includes the same uplink transmission starting point and the uplink transmission time length, so that m STAs can transmit the same uplink transmission time length of the uplink data frame at the same uplink transmission starting point, and complete the multi-user with the AP. transmission.

S402: The STA determines, according to the identifiers of the m STAs, whether to be scheduled by the AP.

After receiving the uplink scheduling frame sent by the AP, the STA may determine whether the identity of the STA is in the m identifiers according to the identifiers of the m STAs included in the uplink scheduling frame.

It should be noted that, in an embodiment of the present invention, in a BSS, an AP sends an uplink scheduling frame to all STAs, but an AP may only schedule m STAs to send uplink data frames. Therefore, when an STA receives an uplink scheduling frame of an AP, First, you must first determine whether you are being scheduled by the AP.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the identifier of the STA may be a preset label or a serial number, etc., and may be specifically set by a designer, and the present invention is not limited.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the STA obtains its own identity and compares it with the identifiers of the m STAs. If the identifiers of the m STAs are the same as the identifiers of the STAs, the STA is configured to be scheduled by the AP; If the identifiers of the m STAs are not the same as their own identifiers, the STA is not scheduled by the AP.

S403. When it is determined that the STA is scheduled, the STA loads the padding data frame with the padding information according to the scheduling information, where the uplink data frame corresponds to the STA.

The STA determines, according to the identifiers of the m STAs, whether to be scheduled by the AP, and when it is determined that the STA is scheduled, the STA updates the uplink data frame according to the scheduling information obtained from the scheduling frame, where the uplink data frame is updated. Corresponding to the STA, where the uplink data frame is a data frame when the STA performs an uplink communication service with the AP.

It can be understood that the uplink transmission time point and the uplink transmission time length sent by the AP to the m STAs are the same. However, the uplink data frames and data that each STA sends to the AP are not necessarily the same. Therefore, each cannot be guaranteed. The STA can transmit according to the uplink transmission time length specified by the AP. Therefore, the uplink data frame sent by the STA that does not satisfy the uplink transmission time length is updated.

S404. The STA sends the updated uplink data frame to the AP.

If scheduled, the STA loads the padding data frame with the padding information according to the scheduling information. After the update, the STA sends the updated uplink data frame to the AP, and sends the uplink data frame to the AP simultaneously with the m-1 STAs. Transmission.

It should be noted that the embodiment of the present invention is a method for transmitting signaling or sequence on one STA side. In one BSS, m STAs use the foregoing method to perform uplink data frame transmission with one AP.

The embodiment of the present invention provides a signaling or sequence sending method. When an AP transmits a downlink data frame, the AP determines m downlink data frames to be sent, and loads useful information about the m downlink data frames to be sent. , update; send the updated m downlink data frames Up to m STAs, m ≥ 2; or, after being scheduled by the AP, the STA transmits an uplink data frame loaded with useful padding information to the AP during uplink data frame transmission, and the useful padding information includes: a control signaling subfield, Control signaling information or extend the training sequence. With the scheme, in the multi-user transmission, when the AP or the STA sends the data frame, the data frame is filled with the useful padding information, so that the AP satisfies the simultaneous transmission of multiple downlink data frames, or multiple STAs satisfy the simultaneous transmission of the uplink data frame, and The useful padding information transmitted by the AP or the STA can be used by the STA or the AP for reference data transmission, thereby achieving better data transmission. Therefore, the channel resource is used to transmit useful padding information, which improves the utilization of channel resources.

Embodiment 2

An embodiment of the present invention provides a signaling or sequence sending method. As shown in FIG. 7, the embodiment of the present invention provides another method for transmitting signaling or sequence when an AP and a STA perform downlink data frame transmission. include:

S501: The AP determines a downlink data length to be transmitted and a downlink transmission rate of each of the m downlink data frames, where the m downlink data frames are in one-to-one correspondence with the m station STAs, and m≥2.

It should be noted that the application scenario of the embodiment of the present invention is multi-user transmission, that is, a process in which a AP and m STAs perform downlink data transmission in one BSS.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the common value of m in a BSS may be 4, and the value range of the specific m may be determined according to the design of the actual researcher, and the present invention is not limited.

In a BSS, the AP first determines m STAs to communicate with, and m downlink data frames to be sent to the m STAs, wherein the m downlink data frames are in one-to-one correspondence with m STAs, and m≥2. Specifically, the AP determines a downlink data length to be transmitted and a downlink transmission rate of each of the m downlink data frames.

It should be noted that the m downlink data frames to be sent by the AP to the m STAs are to be sent. The data lengths are not necessarily the same, and the data types, that is, the transmission parameters, are not necessarily the same. The transmission parameters are related parameters in the transmission process of the AP and the STA, and may include: MCS, MIMO stream number, and bandwidth.

The configuration of the transmission rate of the WLAN is implemented by using an MCS index value. For example, the MCS modulation coding table is a representation that 802.11n proposes to characterize the communication rate of a WLAN. The MCS takes all the factors affecting the communication rate as a column of the table, and uses the MCS index as a row to form a rate table. Therefore, each MCS index actually corresponds to a physical transmission rate under a set of parameters. According to different bandwidths, there may be different MCS rate tables, as shown in Table 1, which is an MCS rate table with a bandwidth of 20 MHz.

Table 1

It should be noted that Table 1 is exemplary. The specific MCS may also include only the modulation mode, and the number of spatial streams or the GI parameters in the table may be separately obtained parameters. In the embodiment of the present invention, the AP may determine the downlink transmission rate when the m downlink data frames are respectively transmitted through the MCS rate table, or calculate the downlink when the m downlink data frames are transmitted by using the spatial stream number and the GI parameter. The transmission rate may be specifically determined according to standards in the protocol used, and the present invention is not limited.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the unit of the downlink data length to be transmitted is Bytes, that is, a byte.

S502: The AP selects, according to the downlink data length to be sent of the m downlink data frames, a downlink data length to be sent of one downlink data frame as a reference.

After the AP determines the downlink data length to be transmitted and the downlink transmission rate of the m downlink data frames, the AP selects the downlink data length of the downlink data frame to be sent from the downlink data length of the m downlink data frames. The reference, that is, the AP uses the one downlink data frame as a standard to select the downlink transmission time length.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the AP selects one downlink data frame according to a certain principle or standard, for example, the priority of the data, or the length of the downlink data to be sent is the longest. The downlink data frame corresponding to the most preferential or most important downlink data to be transmitted is selected as a reference in the frame.

For example, the AP sends downlink data frames to the four STAs, where the priority or importance of the four downlink data frames is: downlink data frame 2> downlink data frame 1> downlink data frame 4> downlink data. In frame 3, the AP selects the length of the data to be transmitted of the downlink data frame 2 as a reference to calculate the length of the downlink transmission time specified by the AP.

S503. The AP calculates a downlink transmission time length of the downlink data frame according to the downlink data length to be sent and the downlink transmission rate of the downlink data frame.

The AP selects one downlink data frame from the downlink data length to be sent of the m downlink data frames. After the downlink data length to be transmitted is used as a reference, the AP calculates the downlink transmission time length of the downlink data frame according to the downlink data length to be transmitted and the downlink transmission rate of the downlink data frame.

It should be noted that, in the foregoing embodiment, the AP may obtain the downlink data length to be sent and the downlink transmission rate of the downlink data frame in the selected one downlink data frame, and the downlink data length to be sent by the AP according to a downlink data frame. And the downlink transmission rate of the one downlink data frame, the downlink transmission time length of the one downlink data frame may be calculated. The AP specifies the downlink transmission time length information of the one downlink data frame as the downlink transmission time length of the m downlink data frames.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the relationship between the data length, the length of the transmission time, and the transmission rate is: data length ÷ transmission rate=transmission time length.

For example, the downlink data length of a downlink data frame selected by the AP is 100 Bytes, and the downlink transmission rate of the downlink data frame is 20 Bytes/ms. Therefore, the downlink transmission time length of the downlink data frame is 100 Bytes. ÷20Bytes/ms=5ms, that is, the downlink transmission time length of the one downlink data frame is 5ms.

S504. The AP determines, from the m downlink data frames, at least one downlink data frame to be filled.

After the AP calculates the downlink transmission time length of the downlink data frame, the AP determines at least one downlink data frame to be filled from the m downlink data frames according to the downlink transmission time length of the one downlink data frame.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8, the method for the AP to determine at least one downlink data frame to be filled from the m downlink data frames includes: S601-S604.

S601. The AP calculates, according to the downlink transmission time length and the downlink transmission rate of each of the m downlink data frames, the downlink data length to be transmitted of each of the m downlink data frames.

After the AP calculates the downlink transmission time length of a downlink data frame, the AP can obtain the downlink transmission rate of each of the m downlink data frames, and therefore, according to the data length and the transmission time. The relationship between the length and the transmission rate, the AP can calculate the length of the downlink data to be transmitted for each of the m downlink data frames, that is, the downlink data length of each of the m downlink data frames to be transmitted = the downlink transmission rate of each of the m downlink data frames. The length of the downlink transmission time. For example, the downlink transmission time length of one downlink data frame selected by the AP is 5 ms, and the AP uses 5 ms as the downlink transmission time of all m downlink data frames. Assuming that the downlink transmission rate of another downlink data frame in the m downlink data frames is 25 Bytes/ms, the downlink data length of the other downlink data frame to be transmitted should be: 25 Bytes/ms×5 ms=125 Bytes.

It should be noted that, except for one downlink data frame selected by the AP as the reference, the downlink data lengths of other downlink data frames in the above m downlink data frames are calculated according to the above method.

S602. The AP performs a difference calculation between the downlink data lengths of the m downlink data frames and the downlink data lengths of the m downlink data frames, and determines the downlink data to be filled in the m downlink data frames. length.

Specifically, the length of the downlink data to be sent of the m downlink data frames to be sent by the AP is also obtainable by the AP. Therefore, the AP may determine the length of the downlink data to be sent of the m downlink data frames. After calculating the downlink data length of each of the m downlink data frames, the AP separately needs to send the downlink data length of each of the m downlink data frames according to the downlink transmission time length and the downlink transmission rate of the m downlink data frames. And comparing, respectively, the downlink data lengths to be sent of the m downlink data frames, that is, the difference operation, and determining, according to the result of the difference operation, the downlink data length to be filled in each of the m downlink data frames.

It should be noted that the downlink data length to be transmitted and the respective downlink transmission rates of the m downlink data frames are not necessarily the same. Therefore, the downlink transmission time length of each of the m downlink data frames sent by the AP is different. After the AP selects the downlink transmission time length of a downlink data frame as the reference, other downlink data frames can know that they need to send the downlink data length in order to meet the same downlink transmission time length. Therefore, the AP waits according to other downlink data frames. Send downlink data length And the downlink data length needs to be sent, and it is determined whether the other downlink data length is filled with information or truncated information.

In particular, the method for transmitting the signaling or the sequence provided by the embodiment of the present invention is an improvement method of the prior art when the information is to be filled in the data frame transmission process. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, the embodiment of the present invention The intermediate AP selects a downlink data frame whose transmission data length is the longest to be transmitted as a reference.

For example, it is assumed that the downlink data length of another downlink data frame calculated by the AP should be 125 Bytes, and the downlink data length of the other downlink data frame to be transmitted is 110 Bytes. The length of the downlink data to be sent is subtracted from the length of the downlink data to be transmitted to determine the length of the downlink data to be filled in the other downlink data frame. Specifically, the length of the downlink data to be filled is 15 Bytes.

S603. The AP compares n lengths of the to-be-filled downlink data that are greater than 0 in the length of the downlink data to be filled, and performs a second-order difference operation with the preset unit length or the preset symbol length, and obtains n difference operation results. Where m≥n≥1.

After the AP determines the length of the downlink data to be filled in each of the m downlink data frames, the AP compares the lengths of the n to be filled downlink data that are greater than 0 in the length of the m data to be filled, respectively, with a preset unit length or preset. The symbol length is subjected to a quadratic difference operation, and n difference operation results are obtained.

Specifically, the AP performs a difference between the downlink data lengths of the m downlink data frames and the downlink data lengths of the m downlink data frames, and determines the respective downlink downlink data frames to be filled. Data length.

It should be noted that the length of the downlink data to be filled in the m downlink data frames can be calculated by using the foregoing embodiments. In the embodiment of the present invention, at least n of the downlink data lengths to be filled are to be filled with the downlink data length. If it is greater than 0, m≥n≥1, that is, at least one downlink data frame in the m downlink data frames needs to be filled with information.

In particular, in the embodiment of the present invention, the AP needs to determine whether the length of the downlink data to be filled can be filled with useful padding information, and the useful padding information is used to represent the parameters available in the process of transmitting data between the AP and the m STAs, except for the service data. The information, such as the control signaling information or the extended training sequence. Therefore, the AP performs a difference operation between the preset data length of the to-be-filled downlink data length and the useful padding information or the preset symbol length to determine the length of the downlink data to be filled. Whether it is possible to fill at least one useful fill information per unit length or symbol length.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the useful padding information may be control signaling information or an extended training sequence. The preset unit length of a control signaling information may be an integer multiple of 4 bytes, such as 4 bytes or 8 bytes, according to different types. Therefore, the preset unit length may be determined according to the application, and the invention is not limited. Similarly, since the extended training sequence is in symbol length units, the symbol lengths are not necessarily the same in different transmission techniques. For example, in the OFDM transmission technique, the OFDM symbol is used as the symbol length, and thus the preset unit length can be implemented according to the implementation. The invention is not limited in terms of application.

It can be understood that, by using the method of performing the second difference operation between the preset unit length or the preset symbol length, the AP determines whether the length of the n to be filled downlink data can satisfy the loading. Useful space to fill in information.

S604. If the y difference operation result is greater than 0, the AP determines that the y downlink data frames corresponding to the y difference operation results are at least one downlink data frame to be filled, where n≥y≥ 1.

The AP compares the lengths of the n to be filled downlink data that are greater than 0 in the length of the downlink data to be filled, and performs a second difference operation with the preset unit length or the preset symbol length, and obtains n difference operation results. If the result of the y difference operation is greater than 0, the AP determines that the y downlink data frames corresponding to the y difference operation results are at least one downlink data frame to be filled, where n≥y≥1.

Exemplarily, the downlink data length of the downlink data frame corresponding to the STA 1 is assumed to be sent by the AP. For the reference, the downlink data frames corresponding to STA 2, STA 3, and STA 4 in the calculated m downlink data frames are respectively filled with downlink data lengths of 15 Bytes, 8 Bytes, and 3 Bytes, assuming that a useful padding information requires 4 Bytes, due to 15 Bytes. And the 8 Bytes are both greater than 4 Bytes. Therefore, the AP determines that the downlink data frame corresponding to the STA 2 and the STA 3 is loaded with the padding information, that is, the AP determines that the downlink data frame corresponding to the STA 2 and the STA 3 is at least one downlink data frame to be filled.

S505: The AP loads the control signaling information or the extended training sequence into the data payload of the at least one downlink data frame of the m downlink data frames, and performs an update.

After determining, by the AP, the at least one downlink data frame to be filled in the m downlink data frames, the AP loads the control signaling information or the extended training sequence into the data payload of the at least one downlink data frame in the m downlink data frames. Update.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the control signaling information or the extended training sequence is the useful padding information of the previous embodiment, where the control signaling information may include: a control signaling subframe/control signaling field.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the control signaling information may include: data to be sent, buffer status information, received data buffer status information, channel status information, link adaptive control signaling, reverse transmission control signaling, data scrambling code and At least one of quality of service QoS control signaling.

It should be noted that the extended training sequence is a sequence that the AP and the STA can know in advance and has a specific parameter meaning.

Specifically, the AP loads, to the data payload of at least one downlink data frame of the m downlink data frames, control signaling information that is an integer multiple of a preset unit length, or an extended multiple of the preset symbol length. The sequence is updated, wherein the total length of the control signaling information loaded in the data payload of the at least one downlink data frame or the total length of the preset symbol length is less than or equal to the respective downlink data to be filled in the at least one downlink data frame. length.

It should be noted that the data frame includes a physical layer header and a data payload. In the embodiment of the present invention, the AP loading control signaling information or the extended training sequence is performed in a data payload of the downlink data frame.

In an embodiment of the present invention, for the case where the downlink data length of the downlink data frame is insufficient to load a useful padding information, the useless bits may be loaded for padding.

Exemplarily, as shown in FIG. 9 , it is assumed that the AP calculates the downlink corresponding to STA 2, STA 3, and STA 4 in the m downlink data frames based on the downlink data length to be transmitted of the downlink data frame corresponding to STA 1 . The length of the downlink data to be filled in the data frame is 15 Bytes, 8 Bytes, and 3 Bytes respectively. Assuming that a useful padding information needs 4 Bytes, since both 15 Bytes and 8 Bytes are greater than 4 Bytes, the AP determines that the downlink data frame corresponding to STA 2 and STA 3 is loaded with useful padding. The information that the AP determines that the downlink data frame corresponding to the STA 2 and the STA 3 is at least one downlink data frame to be filled, so that the AP can load three control signaling information into the data payload of the downlink data frame corresponding to the STA 2, and Two control signaling information is loaded into the data payload of the downlink data frame corresponding to STA 3. For STA 4, the AP loads the useless bits for padding.

S506. The AP loads the control signaling information or the extended training sequence into the data payload of the at least one downlink data frame of the m downlink data frames, and loads the control signaling subfield into the physical layer header of the m downlink data frames. Update.

When the useful padding information in the embodiment of the present invention is control signaling information or an extended training sequence, and the control signaling subfield, the AP can simultaneously load useful padding information in the data payload of the downlink data frame and the physical layer frame header of the downlink data frame. .

Specifically, the AP loads, to the data payload of at least one downlink data frame of the m downlink data frames, control signaling information that is an integer multiple of a preset unit length, or an extended multiple of the preset symbol length. a sequence, wherein the total length of the control signaling information loaded in the data payload of the at least one downlink data frame or the total length of the preset symbol length is respectively It is less than or equal to the length of the downlink data to be filled of each of the at least one downlink data frame.

The carrier interval B is sent, and A is an integer multiple of B. Specifically, the control signaling subfield is loaded in the second type of signaling domain.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the control signaling sub-domain includes: data to be sent, buffer status information, received data buffer status information, channel status information, link adaptive control signaling, reverse transmission control signaling, data scrambling code and At least one of quality of service QoS control signaling.

After the AP determines at least one downlink data frame to be filled in the m downlink data frames, the AP loads the control signaling subfield into the physical layer header of the m downlink data frames for updating.

Order information or extend the training sequence.
