Description

Spectrum sharing method, device and system

Technical field

The present invention relates to the field of mobile communications, and in particular, to a spectrum sharing method, device, and system. Background of the invention

In recent years, with the rapid development and popularization of wireless technologies, spectrum resources are increasingly scarce. In order to solve this problem, some spectrum sharing systems have emerged. These systems are characterized by the fact that their working frequency bands do not require authorization and are therefore referred to as license-exempt systems. In the operating band, these license-exempt systems need to coexist with the Authorization System (IU) and utilize their temporarily idle frequency bands. The exemption system works on the premise that it does not interfere with the normal operation of the licensed system, and that the license-exempt system exists in a certain frequency band it is using. The license-exempt system must unconditionally exit the band and jump to Others continue to work on the band that is not occupied by the licensed system. This mode of operation, also known as the SP (Pixel Pool) system, allows the user (LU) to have priority rights to use the spectrum, and the license-free users (also called RU lease users, SU second users) do not affect the LU. These bands can be used below.

The Wireless Regional Network (WRAN) system is such a system of license-exempt operation. The WRAN system uses the cognitive radio technology to find the unoccupied frequency band as the bearer band of the WRAN network in the frequency band allocated to the VHF/UHF band of television broadcasting (54 MHz to 862 MHz in North America). The WRAN system must detect signals from existing users in the band (such as DTV and Part 74 devices (such as wireless microphones)) to avoid interference with these users. To this end, IEEE 802.22 specifically established the 802.22.1 working group to study the protection of Part 74 devices.

Protected device is a protected device, and this application refers to a Part 74 device. Protecting The device is a protection device that protects the devices of the protected device. It is deployed in the vicinity of the Part 74 device and sends the channel information occupied by the Part 74 device to the WRAN system to protect the Part 74 device. It is divided into a primary protecting device (PPD) and a secondary protecting device (SPD). Since the device mainly communicates with each other by transmitting beacons, it can also be called a beacon device.

When the protection device is initialized, the channel is monitored for a certain period of time. If the protection device does not exist on the channel during this time, the protection device will work as a basic protection device. If it is detected that there is already a protection device, the protection device will be selected as PPD or SPD according to the instructions of the upper layer.

Figure 1 shows the superframe structure of the existing PPD. The front is the N sync burst (synchronous burst) fields. The SPD and WRAN systems quickly detect the PPD based on these synchronous bursts, and the SPD passes these synchronous bursts and PPDs. Synchronization, the value of N is determined by the PPD, and the maximum is 382. These N synchronous bursts can only be sent periodically by the PPD, and the SPD can only receive them. The synchronous burst field is a beacon frame field, which is composed of a 0th synchronous burst and a beacon PSDU. The PPD and the SPD can send a beacon to notify the WRAN system which frequency bands are occupied by the Part 74 device. This is followed by the Rx period field, during which the PPD will receive the RTS (Request to Send) burst field from the SPD, through which the SPD informs the PPD that it wants to send the beacon. The PPD sends an ACK in the next ANP (Acknowledgement/No Acknowledgement Period), then the SPD will send the beacon in the beacon time of the next superframe, and the PPD can only receive the beacon sent by the SPD as a receiver. . After receiving the beacon, the PPD can combine the beacon message with the data detected by itself and send it at the next sending time. The WRAN can receive the beacon sent by the PPD or the beacon sent by the SPD to obtain the channel occupation information. If the PPD sends a NACK within the ANP (this may be because there are multiple SPDs at the same time) In the Rx period, the RTS is sent to cause a collision. At this time, the SPDs that send the RTS will not be able to send the beacon in the next superframe. These SPDs will use a random backoff time to determine the time of the next RTS transmission. The RTS conflicts until the beacon is sent when the ACK sent by the PPD is received. That is to say, in a frame period, the synchronous burst and ANP are sent by the PPD, and the beacon may be sent by the PPD or the SPD, and the Rx period is the time when the SPD is sent.

The communication process of the above PPD and SPD can also be described using FIG. 2 to FIG. 6. Figure 2 and Figure 3 are signalling diagrams for data transmission from PPD to SPD and SPD to PPD, respectively. When the PPD sends data to the SPD, it sends the sent data directly in the beacon PSDU. When the SPD sends data to the PPD, it first sends an Interrupt burst (that is, RTS burst) to interrupt the transmission of the PPD. After the PPD sends an ACK acknowledgement in the ANP, the SPD can send the beacon in the next superframe.

As shown in Figure 4-6, a schematic diagram of a beacon frame is sent for the existing SPD interrupt PPD. In Figure 4, the PPD sends a synchronization burst and a beacon frame. Then the PPD listens to the RTS burst sent by the SPD. In the figure, the PPD receives an RTS burst, and then sends an ACK in the ANP. In Figure 5, the PPD first sends the synchronous burst, because the SPD in Figure 4 has received the ACK. Therefore, the SPD will send the beacon frame at this time, and then the PPD continues to listen to the RTS burst sent by the SPD. At this time, the PPD does not receive the RTS burst, so a NACK is sent; in Figure 6, since the PPD is sent in the previous superframe. It is NACK, so the beacon frame will be sent by the PPD at this time. The scene in Figure 6 is repeated until the RTS bursto is received again.

It should be noted that when the protection device is initialized, it is necessary to confirm whether the PPD already exists. If there is a PPD, the protection device can choose to work as the SPD of the PPD. When the PPD does not work for some reason (such as power failure, shutdown, etc.), these SPDs will not receive the synchronous burst. If SPD has not received synchronization for a certain period of time Burst, will think that PPD is not working, then these SPD will negotiate to generate a new PPD. Thereafter, the new PPD will enter the initial transmission process, that is, a series of consecutive superframes that transmit for up to 30 seconds (the superframes do not include Rx period and ANP), so that the SPD can know the existence of the PPD and synchronize with the PPD. However, the time required for this negotiation and initial transmission process is 4 , long, if the WRAN system operates on the same channel as the Part 74 device during that time, and these channels are monitored by the SPD, but the superframe transmitted by the PPD does not include Rx period and ANP, so SPD will not be able to notify the WRAN system of interference, which will cause interference to Part 74 equipment, and can not guarantee the timeliness of Part 74 equipment protection. Summary of the invention

The object of the present invention is to provide a spectrum sharing method, device and system, which utilizes an alternative basic protection device, avoids negotiation between SPDs and an initial transmission process of up to 30 seconds, and ensures that the pair has been The timeliness of user equipment protection; and thus a more optimized spectrum sharing method.

The present invention introduces a backup primary protecting device (BPPD), that is, when the PPD is working, the SPD is selected as the BPPD, and the BPPD is assigned a priority, and the PPD has the highest priority when the PPD stops working. BPPD ) immediately becomes a PPD job, while other priority BPPDs (subordinate BPPDs) raise their own priority by one level, and the highest priority BPPD in the subordinate BPPD becomes the primary BPPD.

The spectrum sharing method of the present invention comprises the following steps:

The protection device is initialized to determine that the basic protection device has been set;

The basic protection device sets one or more second protection devices as an alternative basic protection device Ready.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart of an embodiment of a spectrum sharing method according to the present invention. The detailed process is as follows:

Step 301: A protection device (PD) is initialized to determine a channel that it needs to monitor;

Step 302: The protection device monitors 2 + 0.01 m seconds on the channel to determine whether a PPD already exists, where m is an integer randomly selected from the set [0, 1, 2, ..., 98, 99, 100]. If, during the initial monitoring process, the protection device does not find the PPD on the channel (that is, no synchronization burst or beacon frame is detected), the protection device sets itself to the PPD according to the indication of the upper layer and starts to periodically send the beacon;

And in the initial transmission process, the new PPD will send a series of consecutive superframes with a time of up to 30 seconds. These superframes will not include the reception period and ANP; after the initial transmission, the PPD enters the normal working state and continues to send the superframe. The superframe at this time will include the receive period and ANP.

As shown in FIG. 8, it is a reference model diagram of a MAC sublayer of the spectrum sharing method embodiment of the present invention. The MAC sublayer provides an interface between an upper layer and a PHY layer, and the MAC sublayer includes a MAC Sublayer Management Entity (MAC Sublayer Management Entity, MLME), MLME provides a method for transmitting information between the upper layer and the MAC sublayer. The MLME needs to maintain a database (MAC Information Base, MIB) to store information related to the MAC sublayer;

The information transmission between the upper layer and the MAC sublayer is performed by MLME-SAP (MLME service access point), as shown in Table 1, which is the various primitives supported by the MLME through the MLME-SAP interface. MLME-BPPD is added to the table to indicate the selection of BPPD; Table 1, primitives supported by MLME-SAP

Step 303, when the PPD is working, the upper layer sends an MLME-BPPD.request to notify the MLME that the BPPD needs to be selected, and can notify the method of selecting the BPPD;

Step 304, the MLME selects the BPPD according to the method indicated by the upper layer, and assigns a priority to the BPPD, the BPPD with the highest priority is the primary BPPD, the other BPPD is the dependent BPPD, and sends the MAC address of the selected SPD of the MLME-BPPD.indication. Reported to the upper level;

In step 303, the upper layer may not notify the method of selecting the BPPD, in which case the PPD itself selects the method of selecting the BPPD; in addition, the PPD may automatically trigger to select the BPPD when there is no indication in the upper layer;

Step 305, the upper layer sends the MLME-BPPD.confirm to notify the MLME of the selected result. If the upper layer does not agree to select the SPD as the BPPD, the upper layer may further notify the MLME to reselect the BPPD through the MLME-BPPD.request, and the MLME-BPPD format respectively As shown in Tables 2, 3, and 4. Table 2, MLME-BPPD .request parameters

Table 4, MLME-BPPD.confirm parameters

FIG. 9 is a schematic structural diagram of a beacon frame sent by a protection device according to an embodiment of the spectrum sharing method of the present invention, where Source Address, Location, and Timestamp are respectively separated by ¹ J, which are identifiers, location information of a protection device that sends the beacon. The transmission time of the beacon frame, and the Subchannel map is the channel information occupied by the Part 74 device. The protection device informs the WRAN system through the beacon, which channels are occupied by the Part 74 device, and the WRAN system cannot use these occupied channels.

Step 304: Selecting the BPPD is specifically: after receiving the indication of the upper layer, the PPD needs to select one or more BPPDs. If only one BPPD is selected, the PPD may send the first SPD to send the beacon, and the source of the SPD is sent by the PPD. Address, the Source Address is the identification information of the SPD, which may be a MAC address; and, the PPD selects the SPD as BPPD, and may add a BPPD Address to the Beacon frame by sending the BPPD The identification information is used to notify all SPDs of the selected PPD identifiers, as shown in Figure 10. When BPPD has not been selected, the BPPD Address can be set to zero, and a BPPD Priority can be added after the BPPD Address. Level;), the content is the priority of the selected BPPD. As shown in Table 5, for the BPPD Priority format table, the PPD can assign the first, second, and the like priorities to the BPPD in the order of selection.

In addition, the PPD can also not transmit the BPPD Address in the beacon frame. As shown in Figure 9, the SPD only needs to judge whether it has been selected as BPPD by the value of the BPPD priority. That is, after the SPD sends the beacon, the PPD can decide whether to select the SPD as the BPPD. If the PPD decides to select the SPD as the BPPD, the PPD can be sent in the ANP period to prevent other SPDs from sending the beacon, and the beacon notification is selected by itself. BPPD. In this way, the SPD can determine whether it is selected as BPPD as long as it monitors the BPPD priority in the next beacon after sending the beacon. We can set SPD to know that it is selected as BPPD when the value of BPPD priority is not zero. Also, instead of adding a BPPD Priority to the beacon, you only need to send the BPPD priority through a reserved bit in the beacon, such as parameter 2, as shown in Figure 12. Of course, the BPPD priority can also be sent by other methods as long as the BPPD priority is sent in the beacon frame.

Table 5, BPPD Priority format table

BPPD Priority Description

0000 not selected BPPD

0001 first priority

0010 second priority

0011 third priority Step 306, when the PPD does not work, the primary BPPD can immediately become the PPD work, so the PPD, BPPD, and SPD can work in any of the following three times: First, when the PPD is working normally, the selected primary BPPD Not working

FIG. 11 is a schematic diagram of a superframe structure of an embodiment of a spectrum sharing method according to the present invention. A BPPS ANP of 2 bits is added between the Rx period and the ANP, and the primary BPPD sends a BPPD burst to notify the PPD whether it is in an active state during the period. The state of the BPPD burst is shown in Table 6.

Table 6, BPPD burst format

If the PPD and the slave BPPD receive the primary BPPD burst as 00, it indicates that the primary BPPD will stop working in the next frame, so that all other priority secondary BPPDs should raise their own priority by one level, and the highest in the dependent BPPD. The priority BPPD becomes the primary BPPD operation, and the BPPD burst is sent to notify the active state during the BPPD ANP of the next frame, and so on; if there is no other priority BPPD or no other BPPD, the PPD will start BPPD Select the program and reselect SPD as BPPD. If the PPD does not receive the BPPD burst in the aMaxMissedBPPD (aMaxMissedBPPD defaults to 2) consecutive superframes, the PPD will consider that the primary BPPD is no longer working. Similarly, if there are other priority secondary BPPDs at this time, These dependent BPPDs should raise their own priority by one level, while the subordinate BPPD with the highest priority sends a BPPD burst to be active during the BPPD ANP of the next frame, and so on; if there is no other priority BPPD, It is also necessary to reselect SPD as BPPD. It is also possible to add an MLME-BPPD-LOST.indication to the MLME-SAP supported primitives in Table 1, which is sent to the upper layer by the PMD and the subordinate BPPD MLME, indicating that BPPD is not received within consecutive aMaxMissedBPPD superframes. Burst

Second, the PPD does not work, the selected primary BPPD still works.

Figure 12 is a schematic diagram of the format of parameter 2 in the beacon frame. If the PPD knows in advance that it will stop transmitting in the next superframe, it will notify BPPD and SPD via Cease Tx in parameter 2. A Cease Tx of 1 indicates that the PPD will stop transmitting in the next superframe.

If the BPPD knows that the PPD will stop transmitting through Cease Tx, the primary BPPD will immediately become the PPD operation, and send the synchronous burst in the next superframe, completely replacing the work of the PPD; and the highest priority BPPD in the secondary BPPD will immediately become the master. BPPD works, and the priority of the remaining subordinate alternative basic protection devices is increased by one level.

If the PPD does not notify the BPPD that it will stop transmitting through Cease Tx, and the BPPD and SPD do not detect the synchronous burst sent by the PPD in consecutive aMaxMissedPPD consecutive superframes, the 'j BPPD and SPD also think that the PPD does not work. When BPPD will immediately become PPD, the work of completely replacing the original PPD will start to send synchronous burst and beacon, and the highest priority BPPD in the subordinate BPPD will immediately become the primary BPPD work, and the priority of the remaining subordinate alternative basic protection devices will be increased by one level. .

Since the N value of the synchronous burst in the superframe defaults to 382, the time for calculating a superframe according to Fig. 7 is 8*(383*3+55) /9609 = 1.002394 seconds (where the symbol rate is 9609 waves) special). If the primary BPPD does not receive the synchronous burst sent by the PPD at 1.002394 seconds, it indicates that the PPD has stopped transmitting, and the primary BPPD should immediately become the PPD. So the default value of aMaxMissedPPD can be set to 1.

Third, PPD and primary BPPD do not work.

The situation in which both PPD and BPPD are not working may be due to: 1. PPD does not work. In aMaxMissedPPD + 3 (where 3 is the number of superframes required to select BPPD, see Figure 13-15), the main BPPD does not work in consecutive superframes; if there are other priorities In the case of subordinate BPPD, the highest level of these subordinate BPPD devices should immediately become the PPD work, and the priority of the remaining subordinate alternative basic protection devices is increased by two levels; if there is no other priority subordinate BPPD, then the SPD should negotiate to generate a PPD. And the initial transmission process is performed by the PPD;

2. BPPD does not work. In the aMaxMissedBPPD + 3 consecutive superframes, the PPD does not work. If there are other priority subordinate BPPDs, the highest level devices in these subordinate BPPDs should immediately become PPD jobs, and the remaining subordinates. The priority of the alternative basic protection device is increased by two levels; if there is no secondary BPPD of other priority, the SPD should also negotiate to generate a PPD, and the initial transmission process is performed by the PPD.

That is, the ^mouth protection device in aMaxMissedBeacons_new (aMaxMissedBeacons_new is greater than aMaxMissedPPD and aMaxMissedBPPD, aMaxMissedBeacons_new can be set to MAX (aMaxMissedPPD, aMaxMissedBPPD) + 1 , ie 3) no consecutive bursts are detected in the continuous superframe, then PPD and the main BPPD are considered If the system does not work, if the system does not select the subordinate BPPD of other priorities, the SPD will negotiate to generate a PPD, and the initial transmission process will be performed by the PPD, but the probability of such PPD and BPPD not working is small.

Also note that if the system also selects the dependent BPPD, then there will be no PPD and all BPPDs will not work, and SPD negotiation is required to select the PPD. Therefore, in the actual system, the PPD should select several subordinate BPPDs, so Can really avoid the negotiation between the SPD and the initial transmission process of up to 30 seconds.

As shown in Figure 13-15, the PPD selects and notifies the entire process of the BPPD. As shown in Figure 13, the PPD receives an RTS burst, sends an ACK in the ANP, and no transmission during the BPPD ANP. , PPD write down the MAC of the SPD that sent the beacon Address, and the SPD is not transmitted during BPPD, BPPD ANP. In this step, the PPD can send a NACK in the ANP regardless of whether it receives the RTS burst sent by the SPD in the Rx period, so that the PPD can send the beacon to notify the SPPD of the selected BPPD address in the next frame, thus reducing the selection. BPPD time; as shown in Figure 15, the PPD sends a beacon to notify the selected BPPD; BPPD sends a confirmation of its activation status during the BPPD ANP.

16 is a schematic structural diagram of a basic protection device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 16, the spectrum sharing device includes a selection unit, a processing unit, and a sending unit, where

And a sending unit, configured to send the received beacon frame carrying the identifier information of the candidate basic protection device to the second protection device, and notify the selected candidate basic protection device.

In practical applications, the selection unit may further be used to select an alternative basic protection device according to the requirements of the upper layer.

The spectrum sharing device may further include a receiving unit, configured to receive a beacon frame sent by the second protection device, and send the signal to the processing unit;

The processing unit is configured to determine that the received beacon frame is sent by the second protection device for the first time, record the source address of the second protection device, and notify the selection unit to select the second protection device as the candidate basic protection device.

The processing unit may be further configured to assign an priority to the candidate basic protection device, encapsulate the allocated alternate basic protection device priority in the beacon frame, and send the priority to the sending unit.

FIG. 17 is a schematic structural diagram of a spectrum sharing system according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 17, the spectrum sharing system includes a protection device, a basic protection device, and a second protection device. The protection device is used for initializing, and the basic configuration is determined on the monitoring channel. Protective equipment; basic protection More than one second protection device is set as an alternative basic protection device.

In practical applications, the basic protection device can also set the primary standby basic protection device and the dependent alternative basic protection device from the alternative basic protection device. One of the working modes can be described as follows:

When the basic protection device works normally and the primary alternative basic protection device does not work, the highest priority alternative basic protection device among the subordinate alternative basic protection devices becomes the primary alternative basic protection device, and the remaining subordinate alternative basic protection devices The priority is increased by one level; when there is no dependent alternative basic protection device, the basic protection device reselects the alternative basic protection device.

Therefore, the present invention introduces an alternative basic protection device, that is, when the PPD is working, more than one SPD is selected as BPPD. When the PPD stops working, when the PPD stops working, the BPPD (primary BPPD) with the highest priority immediately becomes the basic protection. The device works, while other priority BPPD (subordinate BPPD) raises its own priority by one level, and the highest priority alternative basic protection device in the subordinate BPPD becomes the primary BPPD work, thus avoiding negotiation between SPDs and up to 30 The initial transmission process of the second guarantees the timeliness of the protection of the Part74 device. After the PPD stops working, the negotiation between the SPDs and the initial transmission process of up to 30 seconds are basically avoided, and the timeliness of the protection of the Part 74 device is ensured. The optimization of the spectrum sharing method is realized.

It should be noted that the above embodiments are only intended to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to be limiting, and the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments. Modifications or equivalents are made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
