Description
BACKGROUND

Microwave communication is a technology of using a microwave as a medium for data communication, which does not call for a solid medium, and has advantages such as a large communications capacity, good quality, and a long transmission distance, and therefore is widely used in various wireless communications solutions.


A microwave air interface is an interface for data transmission between microwave devices. In a conventional technology, the microwave air interface is used as a common physical interface, and data streams input to the microwave air interface are scheduled and sent based on a unified rule. Therefore, data transmission latencies and bandwidths are the same.


Then, in a 5G scenario, there are various types of applications, and different applications have different latency conditions. Some applications call for an extremely low latency, and some applications call for a larger bandwidth but are insensitive to a latency. Therefore, a conventional microwave air interface is unable to meet transmission conditions of different service data streams.


SUMMARY

Because the slice header information is configured based on a precondition, the slice type is flexibly described and extended in a manner in which the slice header information represents the slice type, thereby increasing an application scope and flexibility of the microwave data processing method provided in some embodiments.

FIG. 1 is a diagram of a system architecture according to some embodiments. As shown in FIG. 1, the system architecture includes a plurality of microwave devices 1 that are communicatively connected to each other. For example, the microwave device 1 is a split microwave device. The split microwave device includes an outdoor unit 11 (ODU), an indoor unit 12 (IDU), and an antenna system 13. The outdoor unit 11 is connected to the antenna system 13, to send and receive radio frequency microwave signals. The indoor unit 12 is connected to the outdoor unit 11 by using a cable, and receives an intermediate frequency signal from and transmits an intermediate frequency signal to the outdoor unit 11 by using the cable. The plurality of microwave devices 1 communicate with each other by using microwaves, to implement microwave networking. There are a plurality of manners for microwave networking, such as a chain type, a tree type, a star type, and a ring type. FIG. 1 shows a microwave networking manner of a star structure, and a plurality of pieces of data and information are transferred by using the plurality of microwave devices networked in the star structure.


In a conventional technology, an air interface of the microwave device is used as a common physical interface for, for example, data transmission between two microwave devices. Data streams input to the microwave air interface are scheduled and sent based on a unified rule. Therefore, data transmission latencies and bandwidths are the same. However, in a 5G scenario, because a higher precondition is posed to a transmission latency of a data stream, transmission with differentiated latencies is unable to be implemented after different data streams enter the microwave air interface.



FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of performing data transmission for a data stream by using a microwave air interface in a 5G scenario according to some embodiments. As shown in FIG. 2, for example, in the 5G scenario, a data stream that accesses a microwave device includes three types of data with different transmission conditions: ultra-reliable and low latency communications (uRLLC) data, enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) data, and massive machine type communication (mMTC) data. The uRLLC data is used as an example. Because the uRLLC data generally corresponds to self-driving or other application scenarios with an extremely high real-time performance precondition, the data is called for to have an extremely low latency, and a bandwidth is relatively small. The eMBB data calls for a medium latency and a large bandwidth. The mMTC data has no latency precondition, a large latency is accepted, and generally, a bandwidth precondition is relatively low. Because the bandwidth and the latency are opposite, to achieve a large bandwidth and a low latency at the same time is difficult. The uRLLC data, the eMBB data, and the mMTC data have different transmission conditions on the bandwidth and the latency. In a conventional technology, a packet module in the microwave device indiscriminately performs serial scheduling on the three types of data to a microwave air interface for data transmission. That is, data transmission of the three types of data needs to be performed by using a fixed microwave air interface as a pipeline. Therefore, a precondition for a low latency is unable to be met for data such as the uRLLC data that has a relatively high latency precondition, or a precondition for a large bandwidth is unable to be met for data such as the mMTC data.


To resolve the foregoing problem that a data transmission precondition is unable to be met because transmission with differentiated latencies is unable to be implemented for a data stream at a microwave air interface, the following describes, in detail by using embodiments, the technical solutions of some embodiments and how the technical solutions of some embodiments resolve the foregoing technical problem. The following several embodiments are combined with each other, and a same or similar concept or process is unable to be described repeatedly in some embodiments. The following describes embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings.



FIG. 3 is a flowchart of a microwave data processing method according to some embodiments. The method is executed by a microwave device, for example, an indoor unit. As shown in FIG. 3, the method includes the following steps.


S101. Perform slicing processing on an obtained microwave data stream to obtain a logical slice.


For example, the microwave data stream is microwave data that accesses the microwave device, such as an Ethernet stream. The microwave data stream includes a plurality of frames of data, and each frame of data corresponds to a different data type. Further, different types of data corresponds to different services. For example, a first frame of data is uRLLC data, and corresponds to data of a self-driving service, and a second frame of data is eMBB data, and corresponds to a video service. FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of performing slicing processing on a microwave data stream according to some embodiments. As shown in FIG. 4, one or a combination of a plurality of frames of data in the microwave data stream corresponds to a segment of service data, and each segment of service data corresponds to a different transmission precondition. Slice processing is performed on each segment of service data to generate a plurality of logical slices. Each logical slice corresponds to a segment of service data.


Specifically, each corresponding segment of service data in the microwave data stream is sliced in a plurality of manners. For example, the microwave data stream includes one or more packets, and a protocol field in the packet is parsed and identified, to determine a segmentation location of the service data in the microwave data stream; or a segmentation location of the service data in the microwave data stream is determined based on a length, header information, or the like of the packet in the microwave data stream, to implement slicing processing on the microwave data stream, to obtain a logical slice corresponding to the service data.


S102. Configure an independent air interface resource for the logical slice based on a slice type of the logical slice.


Specifically, there is a correspondence between a logical slice and service data, and the service data has a data feature. Therefore, a corresponding logical slice also has a corresponding logical slice feature, and different logical slice features are slice types corresponding to different logical slices. For example, a slice type of a logical slice A is a, and corresponds to service data of a uRLLC type, a slice type of a logical slice B is b, and corresponds to service data of an eMBB type, and the slice types of the logical slice A and the logical slice B are different. Correspondingly, independent air interface resources are configured for the logical slice A and the logical slice B, to implement independent processing and independent forwarding on the logical slice A and the logical slice B. In this case, implementing parallel processing on the logical slice A and the logical slice B by allocating air interface resources is equivalent, that is, implementing parallel processing on the service data corresponding to the logical slice A and the service data corresponding to the logical slice B.


For example, based on a data transmission precondition, the air interface resource is implemented in a plurality of forms, for example, a slot, a subcarrier, or a combination of the two.


That is, different slots, subcarriers, or combinations of the two are allocated to logical slices, to achieve an objective of configuring independent air interface resources for different types of logical slices.


S103. Generate, by using the air interface resource, a physical slice corresponding to the logical slice.


Specifically, the logical slice is obtained by logically slicing the microwave data stream, and the microwave data stream is still merged data. The physical slice is a data slice obtained after the logical slice is instantiated, that is, slice data obtained after the microwave data stream is physically sliced.


For example, the air interface resource includes a slot and a subcarrier. There are a plurality of implementations of generating, by using the air interface resource, a physical slice corresponding to the logical slice. For example, the logical slice is mapped to different slots based on the slot and the subcarrier. For another example, the logical slice is mapped to the subcarrier, to implement physical slicing of the logical slice, and generate a physical slice carried in the slot and the subcarrier. A implementation is selected based on a precondition, and is not specifically limited herein.


S104. Encode the physical slice based on preset forwarding configuration information, to generate encoded data that meets a data transmission precondition.


After the physical slice is generated, the microwave device needs to encode the physical slice to generate encoded data for subsequent data transmission. The physical slice is encoded in a plurality of manners, and encoded data with different data transmission characteristics is generated by encoding the physical slice in different encoding manners. For example, in response to a Reed-Solomon code (Reed-Solomon code, RS) being used for encoding, encoded data generated after the encoding has a relatively low latency, but also has a relatively small transmission bandwidth. in response to low-density parity-check (Low-density Parity-check, LDPC) being used for encoding, encoded data generated after the encoding has a relatively high latency, but also reaches an optimal transmission bandwidth.


For example, the forwarding configuration information includes a policy for encoding different physical slices. For example, RS encoding is performed for the physical slice A in a slot, and LDPC encoding is performed for the physical slice B on a subcarrier, so that different physical slices are encoded in corresponding encoding manners, to have data transmission characteristics. That is, encoded data generated for the physical slice A has a low-latency transmission characteristic, and encoded data generated for the physical slice B has a high-bandwidth transmission characteristic. Therefore, both the encoded data corresponding to the physical slice A and the encoded data corresponding to the physical slice B meets respective data transmission conditions, thereby implementing data transmission with differentiated latencies on the microwave air interface.


In some embodiments, the logical slice is obtained by slicing the microwave data stream, and the independent air interface resource is allocated to the logical slice, so that different logical slices are independent of each other, and then different logical slices are correspondingly encoded, so that encoded data that meets different transmission conditions is generated for different types of logical slices, thereby resolving a problem that a data transmission precondition is unable to be met because data in a microwave data stream is unable to have differentiated latencies due to sharing an air interface resource, improving reliability of microwave data transmission, and increasing application scenarios of microwave data transmission.



FIG. 5 is a flowchart of another microwave data processing method according to some embodiments. As shown in FIG. 5, in the microwave data processing method provided in this embodiment, steps S101 to S104 are further refined based on the microwave data processing method provided in the embodiment shown in FIG. 3. The method includes the following steps.


S201. Obtain a microwave data fragment in a microwave data stream.


For example, a microwave data stream includes a microwave data fragment. Each microwave data fragment corresponds to one or more frames of data. Each microwave data fragment corresponds to a different data type, and different types of data corresponds to different services. Therefore, each microwave data fragment corresponds to a group of service data. The microwave data fragment in the microwave data stream is identified by parsing and reading information of the microwave data fragment, to obtain the microwave data fragment in the microwave data stream. A implementation is a conventional technology in the art, and details are not described herein.


S202. Add slice header information to the microwave data fragment to generate a logical slice.


Because microwave data fragments correspond to different service data, to process the microwave data fragments respectively in different manners subsequently, so that the microwave data fragments meet transmission conditions corresponding to the service data, the microwave data fragments need to be labeled, so that different microwave data fragments is distinguished. A manner of labeling a microwave data fragment is to add slice header information to a slice of the microwave data fragment. For convenience of implementation, the slice header information is added to a header or a tail of the microwave data fragment, or certainly, is added at another location of the microwave data fragment. This is not specifically limited herein. The slice header information is implemented in a plurality of manners, for example, adding a field or an identification number. Different implementations are used as required. After the slice header information is added to the microwave data fragment, a new slice formed is a logical slice, and different types of logical slices are distinguished by using slice header information.


S203. Obtain slice configuration information.


The slice configuration information is used to represent a mapping relationship between a slice type and an air interface logical resource, and an air interface logical resource corresponding to a logical slice of a slice type is determined based on the slice configuration information. For example, based on the slice configuration information, an air interface logical resource is allocated to a logical slice whose slice type is uRLLC data, so that in response to data being forwarded by using the air interface logical resource, the logical slice meets a data transmission precondition, that is, a low-latency data transmission precondition. For another example, based on the slice configuration information, an air interface logical resource is allocated to a logical slice whose slice type is eMBB data, so that in response to data being forwarded by using the air interface logical resource, the logical slice meets a data transmission precondition, that is, a medium-latency and large-bandwidth data transmission precondition.


S204. Obtain an air interface logical resource of the logical slice based on the slice configuration information.


For example, the slice configuration information includes the mapping relationship between a slice type and an air interface logical resource.


A slice type of the logical slice is obtained based on the slice header information. Then, based on the slice configuration information and the slice type of the logical slice, mutually independent air interface logical resources corresponding to different types of logical slices are obtained. FIG. 5A is a schematic diagram of a piece of slice configuration information according to some embodiments. As shown in FIG. 5A, there is a mapping relationship between a slice type and an air interface logical resource. For different slice types, corresponding air interface logical resources are determined based on the slice configuration information shown in FIG. 5A.


In some embodiments, the logical slice includes slice header information, and the slice header information is used to represent the slice type of the logical slice. FIG. 5B is a schematic diagram of a structure of slice header information according to some embodiments. As shown in FIG. 5B, for example, to improve efficiency of parsing the slice header information, the slice header information is set at a header location of the logical slice. Certainly, in some embodiments, the slice header information alternatively is set at other locations of the logical slice, and examples are not provided herein one by one. For example, the slice header information is identification information that is set in the logical slice to distinguish the slice type corresponding to the logical slice. The identification information is information such as a numerical value, a letter, a symbol, or a combination thereof, for example, ETH_1 or VLAN_2. The corresponding slice type is determined based on the identification information.


In this embodiment, the type of the logical slice is described in the slice header information in the logical slice, to distinguish between different types of logical slices and allocate air interface resources to different types of logical slices. Because the slice header information is configured based on a precondition, the slice type is flexibly described and extended in a manner in which the slice header information represents the slice type, thereby increasing an application scope and flexibility of the microwave data processing method provided in some embodiments.


S205. Configure a corresponding air interface physical resource for the logical slice based on the air interface logical resource corresponding to the logical slice.


For example, an identifier of the air interface logical resource is in a one-to-one correspondence with an identifier of the air interface physical resource, and the air interface physical resource includes a slot and/or a subcarrier. FIG. 5C is a schematic diagram of another piece of slice configuration information according to some embodiments. As shown in FIG. 5C, an identifier of an air interface logical resource is in a one-to-one correspondence with an identifier of an air interface physical resource. The air interface physical resource includes a slot and/or a subcarrier. Based on the preset slice configuration information shown in FIG. 5B, the air interface physical resource corresponding to the air interface logical resource is determined. An identification number corresponding to a subcarrier represents a corresponding subcarrier, for example, a subcarrier 0, a subcarrier 1, or a subcarrier 2. An identification number corresponding to a slot, for example, 1-10, represents slots 1 to 10. An identification number 0 represents slots on a subcarrier. More specifically, an implementation step of configuring a corresponding air interface physical resource for the logical slice includes: obtaining an identifier of the air interface physical resource based on an identifier of the air interface logical resource of the logical slice; and configuring a slot and/or a subcarrier for the logical slice by using the air interface physical resource corresponding to the identifier of the air interface physical resource.


In this embodiment, a mapping between a slice type and an air interface logical resource is established by obtaining the configuration information used to represent the mapping relationship between a slice type and an air interface logical resource, and the air interface logical resource is configured for the logical slice based on the slice type of the logical slice and the mapping relationship. Then, the air interface physical resource is configured based on the air interface logical resource. Because air interface logical resources are independent of each other, that data is forwarded for different types of logical slices by using independent air interface physical resources, thereby meeting different data transmission conditions.


S206. Generate, by using the air interface physical resource, a physical slice corresponding to the logical slice.


After the air interface physical resource is allocated to the logical slice, the physical slice is obtained by instantiating the logical slice by using the air interface physical resource. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the air interface resource includes a subcarrier, and S206 includes two implementation steps of S2061 and S2062:


S2061. Map the logical slice to the subcarrier to form a subchannel, where the logical slice is in a one-to-one correspondence with the subchannel


S2062. Determine the subchannel as the physical slice corresponding to the logical slice.


Specifically, after the subcarrier corresponding to the logical slice is determined, the corresponding logical slice is carried based on the subcarrier, and a channel corresponding to each subcarrier is a physical slice. A method for forming a channel based on a subcarrier is not described herein.



FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram of a process of generating a physical slice in the embodiment shown in FIG. 6. As shown in FIG. 7, a corresponding subchannel is formed for a logical slice based on a subcarrier, to implement a mapping from the logical slice to the physical slice.


For example, as shown in FIG. 8, in another possible implementation, the air interface resource includes a subcarrier, the subcarrier includes a plurality of slots, and S206 includes three implementation steps of S2063, S2064, and S2065:


S2063. Map the logical slice to the subcarrier.


S2064. Map the logical slice on the subcarrier to different slots to form a slot group.


S2065. Determine the slot group as the physical slice corresponding to the logical slice.



FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram of a process of generating a physical slice in the embodiment shown in FIG. 8. As shown in FIG. 9, because processing based on a subcarrier is distinguishing different logical slices in a frequency domain dimension, after logical slices are selected based on a subcarrier, the logical slices are further distinguished in a time domain dimension. For example, logical slices carried on different subcarriers are mapped to different slots to form slot groups, and finally, one slot group on different subcarriers corresponds to one physical slice.


In this embodiment, mapping to the subcarrier and then mapping to the slot are performed to generate the physical slice corresponding to logical slice in a plurality of dimensions, so that multi-dimensional slicing is performed on the logical slice, to correspond to different slice types. Therefore, logical slices of more slice types is processed, thereby increasing an application scope of the microwave data processing method provided in some embodiments.


For example, as shown in FIG. 10, in still another possible implementation, the air interface resource includes a slot, and S206 includes two implementation steps of S2066 and S2067:


S2066. Map the logical slice to the slot, to form a slot group corresponding to the logical slice.


S2067. Determine the slot group as the physical slice corresponding to the logical slice.



FIG. 11 is a schematic diagram of a process of generating a physical slice in the embodiment shown in FIG. 10. As shown in FIG. 11, a logical slice is mapped to one or more slots to form a slot group, and each slot group is used as a physical slice for transmitting data. A method for forming a slot group based on a slot is not described herein again.


In this embodiment, the air interface physical resource is allocated to the logical slice by using the slot or the subcarrier as a carrier to carry the logical slice, and slots and subcarriers are independent of each other, so that different logical slices implements corresponding data transmission conditions without being affected by another logical slice, thereby improving stability of data stream transmission.


S207. Obtain an encoding rule of the physical slice based on preset forwarding configuration information.


The forwarding configuration information includes a mapping relationship between a physical slice and an encoding rule. The encoding rule corresponding to the physical slice is determined based on the forwarding configuration information. For example, the forwarding configuration information includes: a subchannel A uses RS encoding, and a slot group B uses LDPC encoding. For example, there is a correspondence between the forwarding configuration information and the slice configuration information, that is, a physical slice identifier in the forwarding configuration information and a physical slice identifier in the slice configuration information is unified. Therefore, based on the forwarding configuration information and the slice configuration information, encoding rules corresponding to different types of microwave data fragments are determined, so that in response to microwave data fragments corresponding to different services being forwarded by using a microwave air interface, corresponding forwarding conditions are met.


S208. Encode the physical slice based on the encoding rule, to obtain encoded data with transmission performance


For example, the encoding rule includes RS encoding and LDPC encoding, and the encoded data is intermediate frequency data. A implementation of encoding data to form intermediate frequency data with different transmission performance is not described herein.


In this embodiment, physical slices corresponding to different air interface physical resources are encoded based on different encoding rules. Because different encoding rules have corresponding encoding characteristics, encoded data after encoding has transmission performance Therefore, encoded data with transmission performance, for example, low-latency encoded data, is generated by encoding the physical slices by using different encoding rules, and the encoded data meets different data transmission conditions.



FIG. 12 is a flowchart of still another microwave data processing method according to some embodiments. As shown in FIG. 12, in the microwave data processing provided in this embodiment, based on the microwave data processing method provided in the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, before S201, a step of balancing microwave data traffic in a plurality of microwave air interfaces is added, to be applied to a multi-microwave air interface transmission solution based on a link aggregation technology. The method includes the following steps.


S301. Obtain a plurality of microwave data fragments in a microwave data stream.


S302. Add time sequence identifiers to the microwave data fragments based on a time sequence of the microwave data fragments in the microwave data stream.


Specifically, in the multi-microwave air interface transmission solution based on the link aggregation technology, a plurality of microwave air interfaces are bundled into a larger data transmission pipeline, to jointly transmit microwave data. A microwave data stream accessed by a data input port includes a plurality of microwave data fragments. The plurality of microwave data fragments need to be allocated to different microwave air interfaces for processing and data transmission, and the microwave air interfaces have different latencies. Therefore, the original microwave data stream requires sequence preserving, that is, time sequence identifiers are added to the microwave data fragments based on a time sequence of the microwave data fragments in the microwave data stream, so that in response to being sent through a plurality of microwave air interfaces, the microwave data fragments still is sent in the sequence of the microwave data fragments in the original microwave data stream.


Specifically, there are a plurality of implementation methods for adding a time sequence identifier to a microwave data fragment. For example, an identification number that represent a time sequence is added to a header or a tail of the microwave data fragment. Implementations are not described one by one.


S303. Send, based on a preset traffic balancing policy, the plurality of microwave data fragments to a plurality of microwave air interfaces based on the time sequence identifiers, as microwave data streams of different microwave air interfaces.


The traffic balancing policy is a policy used to represent how to allocate microwave data streams to a plurality of microwave air interfaces, and there is a mapping relationship between the traffic balancing policy and air interface resources of the microwave air interfaces. For example, in the plurality of microwave air interfaces, a microwave air interface with a larger quantity of air interface resources is allocated a larger amount of data traffic, and a microwave air interface with a smaller quantity of air interface resources is allocated a smaller amount of data traffic, to balance traffic in the plurality of microwave air interfaces.



FIG. 13 is a schematic diagram of sending microwave data streams to a plurality of microwave air interfaces according to some embodiments. After each microwave air interface receives a microwave data fragment distributed based on the traffic balancing policy, each microwave air interface receives one or more microwave data fragments. The one or more microwave data fragments are equivalent to a microwave data stream for each microwave air interface. Each microwave air interface performs, based on the microwave data stream, the microwave data processing method provided in the embodiment corresponding to FIG. 3 or FIG. 5. In this embodiment, data traffic of a corresponding size is allocated based on an air interface resource of each microwave air interface. Therefore, subsequently, in response to a microwave data stream being processed to form a logical slice and an independent air interface resource is allocated, utilization of the air interface resource is higher, an air interface resource shortage or surplus is avoided in response to each microwave air interface allocating an air interface resource to a logical slice, and utilization of the air interface resource is improved in response to data transmission with differential latencies being performed by the microwave air interface.


In this embodiment, in a scenario in which a plurality of microwave air interfaces are bundled as a whole for microwave data transmission, microwave data fragments are out of sequence during multi-path transmission, and time sequence identifiers are added to microwave data fragment in a microwave data stream, to preserve a sequence of the microwave data fragments. Then, the microwave data fragments after the sequence preserving are sent to a plurality of microwave air interfaces based on a preset traffic balancing policy, so that the plurality of microwave air interfaces obtains microwave data streams after traffic balancing. Because the microwave data streams obtained by the plurality of microwave air interfaces are related to air interface resources of the plurality of microwave air interfaces, balance of subsequent air interface resource allocation performed by the plurality of microwave air interfaces is improved, thereby improving comprehensive transmission efficiency of microwave data.


S304. Obtain a microwave data fragment in a microwave data stream corresponding to each microwave air interface.


S305. Add slice header information to the microwave data fragment to generate a logical slice.


S306. Obtain slice configuration information.


S307. Obtain an air interface logical resource of the logical slice based on the slice configuration information.


S308. Configure a corresponding air interface physical resource for the logical slice based on the air interface logical resource corresponding to the logical slice.


S309. Generate, by using the air interface physical resource, a physical slice corresponding to the logical slice.


S310. Obtain an encoding rule of the physical slice based on preset forwarding configuration information.


S311. Encode the physical slice based on the encoding rule, to obtain encoded data with transmission performance.


In this embodiment, implementations of S304 to S311 are the same as implementations of S201 to S208 in the embodiment shown in FIG. 5 of the embodiments, and details are not described herein one by one.
