The disclosure relates to the field of wireless communications, and more particularly to a transmission method and a transmission apparatus based on point-to-point wireless communication.
Microwave communication, optical fiber communication and satellite communication are three major means of modern communication transmission. The microwave communication, which generally adopts the point-to-point transmission, is now mainly applied to the bearer network of the 2G/3G mobile service to provide a mobile operator with the transmission of voice and data service, and has the characteristics of large transmission capacity, stable long-distance transmission quality, small investment, short construction cycle, convenient maintenance and the like.
The typical network topology that the microwave communication is applied to the mobile bearer network is as shown in
Generally, a microwave communication node consists of a modem unit and a Radio Frequency (RF) sending-receiving unit, wherein the modem unit includes a base-band interface and a modem unit and is usually placed inside a room and thus is called an In-Door Unit (IDU). The RF sending-receiving unit mainly implements an RF sending-receiving function and is usually placed on an iron tower with an antenna, and is called an Out-Door Unit (ODU).
With the development of the mobile wireless network and the Ethernet technology, the microwave transmission is gradually developed from the traditional Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) service transmission into the modern hybrid service transmission, i.e., a hybrid mode of various data, such as TDM, E1 and Ethernet; and the transmission capacity also increases gradually. Data from different interfaces is uniformly scheduled and encapsulated into a data frame to be modulated by the modem unit and then sent out through the RF unit.
However, by a microwave communication data transmission method in the related arts, a receiving terminal would not receive the data frame correctly, so that the microwave communication is very poor in reliability. The processing processes of the modem unit at a sending terminal and a receiving terminal in the traditional microwave communication are as shown in
In view of this, the disclosure is to provide a transmission method and a transmission apparatus based on point-to-point wireless communication, so as to ensure the reliability of communication and improve the data throughout.
To this end, the technical scheme of the disclosure is implemented as follows.
A transmission method based on point-to-point wireless communication includes that:
a state machine of a sending-receiving terminal performs state transition according to a received training frame; and
when the state machine of the sending-receiving terminal is transferred to a data frame sending state, user data is sent.
The training frame may include a request training frame, a response training frame and an ACK training frame; and the state of the state machine may include a request sending state, a response sending state, an ACK sending state and a data frame sending state.
The step that the state machine of the sending-receiving terminal performs state transition according to a received training frame may include that:
when the number of training frames of the same type received by the state machine of the sending-receiving terminal reaches a preset number, state transition is performed according to the current state of the state machine and the type of the training frame.
The step that state transition is performed according to a received training frame may include that:
when the state machine of the sending-receiving terminal is in the initial request sending state and the received training frame is a request training frame, the state machine is transferred to the response sending state; and when the received training frame is the response training frame, the state machine is transferred to the ACK sending state.
The step that state transition is performed according to the type of the received training frame may include that:
when the state machine of the sending-receiving terminal is in the response sending state and the received training frame is a response training frame or an ACK training frame, the state machine is transferred to the ACK sending state.
The step that state transition is performed according to the type of the received training frame may include that:
when the state machine of the sending-receiving terminal is in the ACK sending state and the request training frame is received, the state machine is transferred to the response sending state; and when the number of the sent ACK reaches a preset threshold, the state machine is transferred to the data frame sending state.
The step that user data is sent may include that:
a first frame of the user data is sent in the same modulation way as that of the training frame.
A transmission apparatus based on point-to-point wireless communication includes a state transition unit and a sending unit, wherein
the state transition unit is configured to perform state transition on a state machine according to a received training frame; and the sending unit is configured to send user data when the state machine is transferred to a data frame sending state.
The training frame may include a request training frame, a response training frame and an ACK training frame; and the state of the state machine may include a request sending state, a response sending state, an ACK sending state and a data frame sending state.
When the number of training frames of the same type received reaches a preset number, the state transition unit performs state transition according to the current state of the state machine and the type of the training frame.
When the state machine is in the initial request sending state and the received training frame is the request training frame, the state transition unit transfers the state machine to the response sending state; and when the received training frame is the response training frame, the state transition unit transfers the state machine to the ACK sending state.
When the state machine is in the response sending state and the received training frame is the response training frame or the ACK training frame, the state transition unit transfers the state machine to the ACK sending state.
When the state machine is in the ACK sending state and the request training frame is received, the state transition unit transfers the state machine to the response sending state; and when the number of the sent ACKs reaches a preset threshold, the state transition unit transfers the state machine to the data frame sending state.
The sending unit is configured to send a first frame of user data in the same modulation way as that of the training frame.
According to the disclosure, the sending-receiving terminal sends a preset training frame in a synchronous linking process so as to promote the rapid linking of two peer nodes; the saved linking time is spent to send data so as to increase the throughput of the user data; due to the state transition of the state machine, a receiver can determine the arrival time of a data frame, thereby improving the stability and the reliability of the system; and moreover, the training of the training frame can ensure that a receiver can decode a first data frame successfully, so that the flow of judging whether the received data is the user data by the receiver is simplified and the efficiency is improved.

Specifically, the training frame includes a request training frame, a response training frame and an ACK training frame; the main body of the training frame is formed by a symbol acquired by the sending-receiving terminal in advance, and is generally generated from a pseudorandom sequence and modulated in a Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK) modulation way; and in order to support the four-way handshake of the sending-receiving terminal, besides a preamble for frame synchronization, each training frame further includes a handshake information domain, the information of which is used for indicating the type of a received training frame so that a sending terminal can determine which kind of training frame is sent. Furthermore, in order to determine the type of the received training frame more accurately, the indication information in the handshake information domain can be subjected to channel encoding, wherein Reed Muller (RM) encoding is generally adopted; and furthermore, after the encoding, the process may be repeated for a preset number of times so as to ensure the reliable transmission of the information.
The step that the state machine of the sending-receiving terminal performs state transition according to a received training frame includes that:
when the number of training frames of the same type received by the state machine of the sending-receiving terminal reaches a preset number, state transition is performed according to the current state of the state machine and the type of the training frame.
Specifically, the state transition process is described in detail here in combination with the diagram showing the state transition in the transmission method shown in

Specifically, when the state machine of the sending-receiving terminal is in the data frame sending state, the user data may be sent all the time, wherein a first frame of the user data is sent usually in the same modulation way as that of the training frame. Furthermore, if the current channel condition is very good, a modulation encoding way with a high channel utilization rate may be directly adopted for the sending.
