Description

Method and device for configuring terminal address

This application claims the priority of the Chinese patent application with the application number 201910037024.7 and the invention title of "A method and device for configuring a terminal address" filed on January 15, 2019, the entire content of which is incorporated into this application by reference.

Technical field

This application relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a method for configuring an address of a terminal and an address configuring device of a terminal.

Background technique

The Internet of Things technology is the third information technology revolution after computers and the Internet. It has the advantages of real-time and interactivity. It has been widely used in urban management, digital homes, positioning and navigation, logistics management, security systems and other fields. Among them, LoRa is an ultra-long-distance transmission scheme based on spread spectrum technology in the Internet of Things, which has the characteristics of long transmission distance, low power consumption, multiple nodes and low cost.

The LoRa network includes terminals, base stations and servers. The working modes of the terminal include ClassA mode, ClassB mode, and ClassC mode. In the ClassB mode, the terminal will open a receiving window within a foreseeable time, and this window is called a Pingslot.

The communication modes of the terminal include unicast and multicast. Unicast: The server configures a unique address identifier DebAddr for each terminal, and the server calculates the Class B downlink frequency and time window of the terminal according to this address. The server sends a message to the device separately at this frequency and time window.

Multicast: The server configures a unique address identifier McAddr for each LoRa multicast group, and the server calculates the Class B downlink frequency and time window common to multiple terminals in this multicast group based on this address. The server sends a group message to all terminals in the multicast group at this frequency and time window.

When the terminal has two communication modes: unicast and multicast, its unicast address Pingslot and its multicast address Pingslot may overlap, but the unicast frequency and multicast frequency are not the same. At this time, the terminal can only fix the monitoring group Broadcast/unicast frequency point, and periodically miss unicast/multicast downlink data, and even never receive unicast/multicast downlink data.

detailed description

In order to make the above objects, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and understandable, the present application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

1, there is shown a step flowchart of Embodiment 1 of a terminal address configuration method of the present application, which may specifically include the following steps:

Step 101: When the server receives an address configuration request, it determines the gateway corresponding to the address configuration request;

In the embodiment of the present application, the terminal is a ClassB mode terminal. When the terminal accesses the network, the terminal sends an address configuration request to the gateway, and then the gateway forwards the address configuration request to the server.

Specifically, the server is deployed with an address allocator, and the address configuration request includes the terminal identifier DevEUI and the gateway identifier GWEUI.

The address allocator may determine which terminal sent the address configuration request according to the terminal identifier, and determine which gateway forwarded the address configuration request according to the gateway identifier.

Step 102: Select a target address from an address pool corresponding to the gateway, and configure the target address to the terminal corresponding to the address configuration request, so that the multicast address and the unicast address of the terminal are in the same In an address pool; among them, the pulse time slot PingSlot frequency point of each address pool address is the same.

In the embodiment of this application, the address allocator can select at least one corresponding address pool for the gateway. Each address pool contains multiple addresses. The addresses belonging to the same address pool have the same PingSlot frequency and belong to different address pools. The PingSlot frequency points are different.

In this embodiment of the application, the target address can be selected from an address pool corresponding to the gateway, and the target address can be configured to the terminal, so that the multicast address and unicast address configured for the terminal are in the same address pool. The PingSlot frequency of the addresses in the same address pool is the same, so the frequency of the multicast address is the same as the frequency of the unicast address, and there will be no loss due to the difference between the frequency of the multicast address and the frequency of the unicast address The case of unicast downlink data or multicast downlink data.

Referring to FIG. 2, there is shown a step flowchart of Embodiment 2 of a terminal address configuration method of the present application, which may specifically include the following steps:

Step 201: When the server receives the address configuration request, it determines the gateway corresponding to the address configuration request;

In the embodiment of the present application, the terminal is a ClassB mode terminal. When the terminal accesses the network, the terminal sends an address configuration request to the gateway, and then the gateway forwards the address configuration request to the server.

Specifically, the server is deployed with an address allocator, and the address configuration request includes the terminal identifier DevEUI and the gateway identifier GWEUI.

The address allocator can determine which terminal sent the address configuration request according to the terminal identifier, and which gateway forwarded the address configuration request according to the gateway identifier.

Step 202: Determine an address pool corresponding to the gateway from a plurality of preset address pools.

The address allocator can determine the corresponding address pool for the gateway corresponding to the address configuration request from a plurality of preset address pools.

Each address pool contains multiple addresses. Addresses belonging to the same address pool have the same PingSlot frequency points, but addresses belonging to different address pools have different PingSlot frequency points.

Referring to FIG. 3, a schematic diagram of dividing an address pool in an embodiment of the application is shown. The CN470 frequency band is a frequency band allocated for use in China. All addresses in this frequency band can be divided into 8 address pools.

The address of the first address pool can be expressed as Nx8, the address of the second address pool can be expressed as Nx8+1, the address of the third address pool can be expressed as Nx8+2, and the address of the fourth address pool can be expressed as Nx8+3, the address of the fifth address pool can be expressed as Nx8+4, the address of the sixth address pool can be expressed as Nx8+5, the address of the seventh address pool can be expressed as Nx8+6, the eighth address The address of the pool can be expressed as Nx8+7, N=1, 2,....

In addition to dividing the CN470 frequency band into 8 address pools, the CN470 frequency band can also be divided into other number of address pools; for example, if the network deploys a 16-channel gateway, the CN470 frequency band can be divided into 16 address pools; if If the network deploys 32-channel gateways, the CN470 frequency band can be divided into 32 address pools.

The way of dividing the address pool can be determined according to actual conditions, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

The formula for calculating the frequency of the Class B downlink channel based on the unicast address in the CN470 frequency band is:

The formula for calculating the frequency of the Class B downlink channel based on the multicast address in the CN470 frequency band is:

Among them, floor() is a function rounded down, modulo is a modulo operation, beacon_time is the beacon frame duration, and beacon_period is the beacon frame period.

It can be seen from these two formulas that when both the unicast address and the multicast address belong to the same address pool, the corresponding channel frequencies are the same.

In the embodiment of the present application, the step 202 may include the following sub-steps:

Sub-step S11, determining the number of downlink channels of the gateway;

The address allocator can look up the number of downlink channels of the gateway from the database according to the gateway identifier in the address configuration request;

Sub-step S12: According to the number of downlink channels of the gateway, an address pool corresponding to the gateway is determined from a plurality of preset address pools.

The address allocator can determine the address pool corresponding to the gateway from multiple preset address pools according to the number of downlink channels of the gateway.

In the embodiment of the present application, the sub-step S12 may further include:

Sub-step S121: if the number of downlink channels of the gateway is one, determine an address pool corresponding to the gateway from a plurality of preset address pools;

In sub-step S122, if the number of downlink channels of the gateway is multiple, determine multiple address pools corresponding to the gateway from the multiple preset address pools; wherein there is an interval between the multiple address pools. Unused frequency points.

If the gateway has the capability of multiple downlink channels, in many cases, several physical frequency points that are downlinked at the same time are close together, which will cause greater adjacent channel interference problems. Adjacent channel interference is a common interference problem, not only in multi-channel multicast, but also in multi-channel unicast downlink.

Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, when the number of downlink channels of the gateway is multiple, the address allocator can determine multiple corresponding address pools for the gateway, and there are unused frequency points between the multiple address pools. It can make the frequency interval between the downlink channels and solve the problem of adjacent channel interference.

4 is a schematic diagram of determining the address pool of the corresponding gateway in an embodiment of this application.

For a gateway with one downlink channel, you can select the address pool No. 1. The unicast addresses and multicast addresses of all terminals within the service range of the gateway can be obtained from the address pool No. 1.

For a gateway with 2 downlink channels, you can select address pools No. 1 and No. 5. The unicast addresses and multicast addresses of all terminals within the service range of the gateway can be obtained from these two address pools.

For a gateway with 2 downlink channels, you can select address pools 1, 3, 5, and 7, and the unicast addresses and multicast addresses of all terminals within the service range of the gateway can be obtained from these four address pools.

Step 203: Select a target address from an address pool corresponding to the gateway, and configure the target address to the terminal corresponding to the address configuration request, so that the multicast address and the unicast address of the terminal are in the same location. In an address pool; among them, the pulse time slot PingSlot frequency point of each address pool address is the same.

In the embodiment of the present application, the address configuration request may include the type of address to be requested. Specifically, the address configuration request may include an address configuration request for a multicast address, an address configuration request for a unicast address, and an address configuration request for a unicast address and a multicast address.

An address configuration request for a multicast address indicates that the terminal needs to request a multicast address, an address configuration request for a unicast address indicates that the terminal needs to request a unicast address, and an address configuration request for a unicast address and a multicast address indicates that the terminal needs to request unicast Address and multicast address.

In an example of the embodiment of the present application, the step 203 may include:

If the address configuration request is an address configuration request for a multicast address, and the terminal has been configured with a unicast address in advance, then select an address from the address pool where the unicast address is located as the target address; The target address is configured as the multicast address of the terminal.

If the address configuration request is an address configuration request for a multicast address, and the terminal has not been configured with a unicast address before, a target address is selected from any address pool corresponding to the gateway, and the target The address is configured as the multicast address of the terminal.

In another example of the embodiment of the present application, the step 203 may include:

If the address configuration request is an address configuration request for a unicast address, and the terminal has been configured with a multicast address in advance, an address from the address pool where the multicast address is located is selected as the target address; The target address is configured as the unicast address of the terminal.

If the address configuration request is an address configuration request for a unicast address, and the terminal has not been previously configured with a multicast address, a target address is selected from any address pool corresponding to the gateway; The address is configured as the unicast address of the terminal.

In another example of the embodiment of the present application, the step 203 may include:

If the address configuration request is an address configuration request for a unicast address and a multicast address, select two addresses from an address pool corresponding to the gateway as target addresses; configure the target addresses as the The unicast address and multicast address of the terminal.

In the embodiment of the present application, the target address can be selected from an address pool corresponding to the gateway, and the target address can be configured to the terminal, so that the multicast address and the unicast address configured for the terminal are in the same address pool. The PingSlot frequency of the addresses in the same address pool is the same, so the frequency of the multicast address is the same as the frequency of the unicast address, and there will be no loss due to the difference between the frequency of the multicast address and the frequency of the unicast address The case of unicast downlink data or multicast downlink data.
