- Requirements for inserting delay-sensitive MSDUs into PPDUs may include: (1) being transparent to legacy STAs, including 11be release 1; (2) transmitting delay-sensitive MSDUs as much as possible on the ongoing PPDU (including FD A-PPDU) to reduce latency; (3) using only necessary subchannels, considering that delay-sensitive traffic is usually small, using the entire 320MHz PPDU It's quite wasteful.
- LPL Low power listening
- BSS inter-basic service set
- PPDU also known as inter-PPDU
- the low power (LP) mode usually uses one RF link, low-order MCS and small bandwidth; while the high power (HP) mode uses multiple RF links, high-order MCS and bandwidth up to 320MHz, and the duration of changing different physical (PHY) parameters varies greatly.
- the related art proposes an inter-PPDU LPL scheme to reduce power consumption and signaling overhead at the same time.
- the inter-PPDU LPL scheme can be shown in Figure 6, including an initial PPDU (i.e., notification PPDU) for waking up the target STA, and the subsequent PPDU (i.e., data PPDU) delivers the data of the target STA.
- the interval between the notification PPDU and the first data PPDU provides sufficient duration for changing PHY parameters/functions.
- the communication process between AP and STA may involve UHR features such as LPL of 2D FD A-PPDU and inter-PPDU. Therefore, AP and STA may need to indicate relevant information of UHR features to each other. For example, when allocating time domain resources for different delay-sensitive MSDUs in 2D FD A-PPDU, AP needs to further indicate the time domain resource unit to each STA. For another example, in the LPL of inter-PPDU, AP needs to indicate the PHY parameters of the target STA entering high power in the notification PPDU.

极高吞吐量(extremely high throughput,EHT)-信号(signal,SIG)字段(field)Extremely high throughput (EHT) - signal (SIG) field
在AP与STA之间的通信中,EHT多用户(multi user,MU)物理层协议数据单元(physical layer protocol data unit,PPDU)可以用于1个或多个用户的数据传输,EHT MU PPDU的格式可以如图2所示。其中,非高吞吐量(non-high-throughput,non-HT)-短训练字段(short training field,STF)、非高吞吐量-长训练字段(non-HT long-training field,L-LTF)、非高吞吐量的信号字段(non-HT-signal field,L-SIG)、重复非高吞吐量的信号字段(repeated L-SIG,RL-SIG)、通用信号字段(universal-signal field,U-SIG)和EHT-SIG字段可以称为预先(pre)-EHT调制字段;EHT-STF、EHT-LTF、数据(data)和包拓展字段(packet extension,PE)字段可以称为EHT调制字段。In the communication between AP and STA, EHT multi-user (MU) physical layer protocol data unit (PPDU) can be used for data transmission of one or more users, and the format of EHT MU PPDU can be shown in FIG2. Among them, non-high-throughput (non-HT)-short training field (STF), non-HT long-training field (L-LTF), non-HT-signal field (L-SIG), repeated non-high-throughput signal field (RL-SIG), universal-signal field (U-SIG) and EHT-SIG field can be referred to as pre-EHT modulation fields; EHT-STF, EHT-LTF, data and packet extension (PE) fields can be referred to as EHT modulation fields.
其中,EHT-SIG字段可以向U-SIG字段提供额外的信令,以供STA解码EHT MU PPDU。在EHT MU PPDU中,EHT-SIG字段可以包含所有用户共有的U-SIG溢出(overflow)比特位。EHT-SIG字段进一步可以包含资源单元(resource unit,RU)分配信息,允许STA查找在PPDU的EHT调制字段中使用的相应资源。Among them, the EHT-SIG field can provide additional signaling to the U-SIG field for STAs to decode the EHT MU PPDU. In the EHT MU PPDU, the EHT-SIG field can contain the U-SIG overflow bit common to all users. The EHT-SIG field can further contain resource unit (RU) allocation information, allowing the STA to find the corresponding resources used in the EHT modulation field of the PPDU.
20兆赫兹(MHz)EHT MU PPDU的EHT-SIG字段可以包含一个EHT-SIG内容信道(content channel)。对于正交频分多址(orthogonal frequency division multiple access,OFDMA)传输和多用户非(non)-OFDMA传输,40MHz或80MHz的EHT MU PPDU的EHT-SIG字段包含两个EHT-SIG content channel。对于OFDMA传输和多用户non-OFDMA传输,160MHz或更宽的EHT MU PPDU的EHT-SIG字段每80MHz频率子块包含两个EHT-SIG content channel。当用于OFDMA传输的EHT MU PPDU带宽大于80MHz时,允许每个80MHz频率子块的EHT-SIG content channel携带不同的信息。当带宽等于20/40/80MHz时,OFDMA传输采用的EHT-SIG content channel格式可以如图3所示。 The EHT-SIG field of a 20 megahertz (MHz) EHT MU PPDU may include one EHT-SIG content channel. For orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) transmission and multi-user non-OFDMA transmission, the EHT-SIG field of a 40 MHz or 80 MHz EHT MU PPDU may include two EHT-SIG content channels. For OFDMA transmission and multi-user non-OFDMA transmission, the EHT-SIG field of a 160 MHz or wider EHT MU PPDU may include two EHT-SIG content channels per 80 MHz frequency sub-block. When the bandwidth of the EHT MU PPDU for OFDMA transmission is greater than 80 MHz, the EHT-SIG content channel for each 80 MHz frequency sub-block is allowed to carry different information. When the bandwidth is equal to 20/40/80 MHz, the EHT-SIG content channel format used for OFDMA transmission may be as shown in FIG. 3.
对于OFDMA传输,EHT-SIG content channel的通用(common)字段包含有关RU分配的信息,例如在PPDU的EHT调制字段中使用的RU分配,为MU-多入多出(multiple input multiple output,MIMO)分配的RU以及MU-MIMO分配的用户数。common field的格式可以如表1所示。For OFDMA transmission, the common field of the EHT-SIG content channel contains information about RU allocation, such as the RU allocation used in the EHT modulation field of the PPDU, the RU allocated for MU-multiple input multiple output (MIMO), and the number of users allocated for MU-MIMO. The format of the common field can be shown in Table 1.
表1 OFDMA传输的common field格式表
Table 1 Common field format of OFDMA transmission
EHT-SIG content channel中用户特定(user specific)字段的联合(union)包含PPDU中所有用户关于如何解码其有效负载(payload)的信息。如图3所示,user specific field由用户编码块(user encoding blocks)组成,user encoding blocks又由OFDMA传输的用户字段(user field)组成。The union of user specific fields in the EHT-SIG content channel contains information for all users in the PPDU on how to decode its payload. As shown in Figure 3, the user specific field consists of user encoding blocks, which in turn consist of user fields for OFDMA transmissions.
EHT-SIG content channel中user specific field可以由零个或多个user encoding blocks组成,user encoding blocks后面跟着填充位(padding)(如果出现的话)。user encoding blocks的格式可以如表2所示。The user specific field in the EHT-SIG content channel can consist of zero or more user encoding blocks, followed by padding (if present). The format of user encoding blocks can be shown in Table 2.
表2 user encoding blocks的格式
Table 2 Format of user encoding blocks
user field的内容取决于该字段的地址是RU中non-MU-MIMO分配的用户还是RU中MU-MIMO分配的用户。当该字段的地址是RU中non-MU-MIMO分配的用户,user field的内容可以如表3所示。当该字段的地址是RU中MU-MIMO分配的用户,user field的格式可以如表4所示。The content of the user field depends on whether the address of the field is a non-MU-MIMO assigned user in the RU or a MU-MIMO assigned user in the RU. When the address of the field is a non-MU-MIMO assigned user in the RU, the content of the user field can be as shown in Table 3. When the address of the field is a MU-MIMO assigned user in the RU, the format of the user field can be as shown in Table 4.

二维(two dimensional,2D)频域(frequency domain,FD)聚合(aggregated,A)-PPDUTwo-dimensional (2D) frequency domain (FD) aggregated (A)-PPDU
针对时延敏感业务,相关技术提出2D A-PPDU。在2D A-PPDU中,下行传输的RU不仅可以在频域分配,而且也可以在时域分配,以便在正在进行(on-going)的PPDU上尽可能多地传输时延敏感(latency sensitive)的媒体接入控制层服务数据单元(medium access control service data unit,MSDU),以减少延迟。For latency-sensitive services, the related technology proposes 2D A-PPDU. In 2D A-PPDU, the RU of downlink transmission can be allocated not only in the frequency domain but also in the time domain, so as to transmit as many latency-sensitive medium access control service data units (MSDU) as possible on the on-going PPDU to reduce delay.
时延敏感的MSDU插入PPDU的要求可以包括:(1)对遗留(legacy)STA透明,包括11be发布1(release1)。(2)在正在进行的PPDU(包括FD A-PPDU)上尽可能多地传输时延敏感的MSDU,以便减少时延;(3)只使用必要的子信道,考虑到时延敏感的流量通常很小,使用整个320MHz PPDU 是相当浪费的。Requirements for inserting delay-sensitive MSDUs into PPDUs may include: (1) being transparent to legacy STAs, including 11be release 1; (2) transmitting delay-sensitive MSDUs as much as possible on the ongoing PPDU (including FD A-PPDU) to reduce latency; (3) using only necessary subchannels, considering that delay-sensitive traffic is usually small, using the entire 320MHz PPDU It's quite wasteful.
考虑到这些需求,2D FD A-PPDU的结构可以如图4所示。为了降低时延敏感MSDU接收机的复杂度,可以基于时隙(slot)的开始时间传输时延敏感的MSDU。例如,可以为潜在开始(potential start)的2D FD A-PPDU定义固定数量的OFDM符号用于传输时延敏感的MSDU。示例性地,如图5所示,也可以在下行(downlink,DL)OFDMA MU PPDU内,定义固定数量的OFDM符号用于传输时延敏感的MSDU。Considering these requirements, the structure of the 2D FD A-PPDU can be as shown in FIG4. In order to reduce the complexity of the delay-sensitive MSDU receiver, the delay-sensitive MSDU can be transmitted based on the start time of the slot. For example, a fixed number of OFDM symbols can be defined for the potential start 2D FD A-PPDU for transmitting the delay-sensitive MSDU. Exemplarily, as shown in FIG5, a fixed number of OFDM symbols can also be defined in the downlink (DL) OFDMA MU PPDU for transmitting the delay-sensitive MSDU.
基本服务集间(inter-basic service set,BSS)PPDU(又称inter-PPDU)的低功率监听(low power listening,LPL) Low power listening ( LPL) for inter-basic service set (BSS) PPDU (also known as inter-PPDU)
低功率(low power,LP)模式通常使用一条射频链路、低阶MCS和小带宽;而高功率(high power,HP)模式使用多条射频链路、高阶MCS和高达320MHz的带宽,改变不同物理(physical,PHY)参数的持续时间差别很大。相关技术提出了一个inter-PPDU的LPL方案,以同时降低功耗和信令开销。inter-PPDU的LPL方案可以如图6所示,包括一个初始PPDU(即通知(notification)PPDU)用于唤醒目标STA,后续的PPDU(即数据(data)PPDU)传递目标STA的数据。notification PPDU和第一个data PPDU之间的间隔为更改PHY参数/功能提供了足够的持续时间。The low power (LP) mode usually uses one RF link, low-order MCS and small bandwidth; while the high power (HP) mode uses multiple RF links, high-order MCS and bandwidth up to 320MHz, and the duration of changing different physical (PHY) parameters varies greatly. The related art proposes an inter-PPDU LPL scheme to reduce power consumption and signaling overhead at the same time. The inter-PPDU LPL scheme can be shown in Figure 6, including an initial PPDU (i.e., notification PPDU) for waking up the target STA, and the subsequent PPDU (i.e., data PPDU) delivers the data of the target STA. The interval between the notification PPDU and the first data PPDU provides sufficient duration for changing PHY parameters/functions.
在LPL过程中,目标STA最初采用专用LP模式进行侦听,一旦检测到唤醒指示,目标STA就开始切换到HP模式。在inter-PPDU的LPL方案中,AP可以发送一个初始PPDU(即notification PPDU)来唤醒目标STA。notification PPDU可以指示HP模式接收的PHY参数,其中还可能包含唤醒指示或即将到来的数据指示。例如,检测到不同的PHY参数可以视为唤醒指示。notification PPDU主要用于传输给其他STA的数据,后续的PPDU(即data PPDU)用于传输目标STA的数据。During the LPL process, the target STA initially listens in a dedicated LP mode, and once a wake-up indication is detected, the target STA begins to switch to HP mode. In the inter-PPDU LPL scheme, the AP can send an initial PPDU (i.e., notification PPDU) to wake up the target STA. The notification PPDU can indicate the PHY parameters received in HP mode, which may also contain a wake-up indication or an upcoming data indication. For example, the detection of different PHY parameters can be regarded as a wake-up indication. The notification PPDU is mainly used to transmit data to other STAs, and the subsequent PPDU (i.e., data PPDU) is used to transmit the data of the target STA.
根据上文的描述,AP与STA的通信过程可能会涉及到2D FD A-PPDU及inter-PPDU的LPL等UHR特征。因此,AP与STA之间可能需要相互指示UHR特征的相关信息。例如,在2D FD A-PPDU中针对不同的时延敏感MSDU进行时域资源分配时,AP需要对每个STA进一步指示时域资源单元。又如,在inter-PPDU的LPL中,AP需要在notification PPDU中指示目标STA进入high power的PHY参数。然而,AP与STA如何进行UHR特征的相关信息的指示是尚未明确的。According to the above description, the communication process between AP and STA may involve UHR features such as LPL of 2D FD A-PPDU and inter-PPDU. Therefore, AP and STA may need to indicate relevant information of UHR features to each other. For example, when allocating time domain resources for different delay-sensitive MSDUs in 2D FD A-PPDU, AP needs to further indicate the time domain resource unit to each STA. For another example, in the LPL of inter-PPDU, AP needs to indicate the PHY parameters of the target STA entering high power in the notification PPDU. However, it is not yet clear how AP and STA indicate relevant information of UHR features.
基于此,下面对本申请实施例的方法进行详细介绍。Based on this, the method of the embodiment of the present application is introduced in detail below.
如图7所示,本申请实施例提供了一种无线通信方法。图7所示的方法适用于上文所述的任一AP和/或STA。为了便于理解,下面用第一设备和第二设备表示适用本方法的设备。本申请实施例中的第一设备可以是AP,则第二设备可以是STA。或者,本申请实施例中的第一设备也可以是STA,则第二设备可以是AP。As shown in FIG. 7 , an embodiment of the present application provides a wireless communication method. The method shown in FIG. 7 is applicable to any AP and/or STA described above. For ease of understanding, the first device and the second device are used below to represent devices applicable to the present method. The first device in the embodiment of the present application may be an AP, and the second device may be a STA. Alternatively, the first device in the embodiment of the present application may also be a STA, and the second device may be an AP.
图7所示的方法可以包括步骤S710。在步骤S710,第一设备向第二设备发送第一PPDU。第一PPDU可以包括第一用户的第一用户字段,第一用户字段可以承载UHR特征信息。UHR特征信息可以是第一设备和第二设备之间用于实现UHR特征的相关信息。当第一设备是STA,第二设备是AP时,第一PPDU可以是上行传输过程中的PPDU,例如上行MU PPDU的单用户(single user,SU)传输模式。或者当第一设备是AP,第二设备是STA时,第一PPDU也可以是下行传输过程中的PPDU,例如下行OFDMA的MU PPDU。The method shown in FIG. 7 may include step S710. In step S710, the first device sends a first PPDU to the second device. The first PPDU may include a first user field for a first user, and the first user field may carry UHR feature information. The UHR feature information may be related information between the first device and the second device for implementing the UHR feature. When the first device is a STA and the second device is an AP, the first PPDU may be a PPDU in an uplink transmission process, such as a single user (SU) transmission mode of an uplink MU PPDU. Alternatively, when the first device is an AP and the second device is a STA, the first PPDU may also be a PPDU in a downlink transmission process, such as a MU PPDU of downlink OFDMA.
基于本申请,第一设备可以通过第一PPDU中的第一用户字段向第二设备指示UHR特征信息,有助于第一设备和第二设备之间的通信实现UHR特征。Based on the present application, the first device can indicate UHR feature information to the second device through the first user field in the first PPDU, which helps to implement the UHR feature in the communication between the first device and the second device.
下面对第一用户字段进行详细介绍。如前文所述,图3所示的PPDU中的EHT-SIG字段的user field可以用于指示每个用户的相关信息。然而如表3或表4所示,user field中可用的reserved比特位较少,只有1个或者甚至没有reserved比特位。然而,UHR特征信息占据的比特位可能不止1位,所以使用EHT-SIG字段的user field承载UHR特征信息是难以实现的。基于此,在本申请中,UHR特征信息可以承载于第一用户字段。The first user field is introduced in detail below. As mentioned above, the user field of the EHT-SIG field in the PPDU shown in Figure 3 can be used to indicate relevant information of each user. However, as shown in Table 3 or Table 4, there are fewer reserved bits available in the user field, only 1 or even no reserved bits. However, the UHR feature information may occupy more than 1 bit, so it is difficult to use the user field of the EHT-SIG field to carry the UHR feature information. Based on this, in the present application, the UHR feature information can be carried in the first user field.
第一用户字段可以不包括子字段,则UHR特征信息可以承载于第一用户字段本身。例如,第一用户字段可以是在EHT-SIG字段的user field的基础上扩大的字段,即可以在EHT-SIG字段的user field中增加一定的比特位用于承载UHR特征信息。此时,第一用户字段的比特数大于22比特,例如第一用户字段的比特数可以为30比特。UHR特征信息承载于第一用户字段本身,有助于降低第二设备的解码开销。The first user field may not include a subfield, and the UHR feature information may be carried in the first user field itself. For example, the first user field may be a field expanded on the basis of the user field of the EHT-SIG field, that is, a certain number of bits may be added to the user field of the EHT-SIG field to carry the UHR feature information. At this time, the number of bits of the first user field is greater than 22 bits, for example, the number of bits of the first user field may be 30 bits. The UHR feature information is carried in the first user field itself, which helps to reduce the decoding overhead of the second device.
或者,第一用户字段可以包括子字段,则UHR特征信息可以承载于子字段中。示例性地,第一用户字段可以包括第二用户字段和第三用户字段。其中,第二用户字段可以用于承载第一用户的基本信息。例如,第二用户字段可以是前文所述的user field。第三用户字段则可以用于承载UHR特征信息,第三用户字段可以有一个或多个。例如,第三用户字段可以是前文所述的user field之外新增的子字段。UHR特征信息承载于第一用户字段的子字段中,有助于第二设备快速定位UHR特征信息。 Alternatively, the first user field may include a subfield, and the UHR feature information may be carried in the subfield. Exemplarily, the first user field may include a second user field and a third user field. Among them, the second user field may be used to carry the basic information of the first user. For example, the second user field may be the user field described above. The third user field may be used to carry the UHR feature information, and the third user field may have one or more. For example, the third user field may be a subfield added in addition to the user field described above. The UHR feature information is carried in the subfield of the first user field, which helps the second device to quickly locate the UHR feature information.
下面对第三用户字段进行详细介绍。在第一用户字段中,第三用户字段可以位于第二用户字段之后,且第三用户字段可以与第二用户字段相邻,有助于第一用户快速定位第三用户字段。进一步地,第三用户字段可以与第二用户字段的比特数相同。例如,当第二用户字段是前文所述的user field时,第二用户字段和第三用户字段的比特数为22比特。此时,第一用户字段的比特数也大于22比特。The third user field is described in detail below. In the first user field, the third user field may be located after the second user field, and the third user field may be adjacent to the second user field, which helps the first user to quickly locate the third user field. Furthermore, the third user field may have the same number of bits as the second user field. For example, when the second user field is the user field described above, the number of bits of the second user field and the third user field is 22 bits. At this time, the number of bits of the first user field is also greater than 22 bits.
第三用户字段的前n个比特可以用于指示第一标识,第一标识可以用于指示第一用户。第二用户字段的前n个比特也可以用于指示第二标识,第二标识也可以用于指示第一用户,且第二标识与第一标识相同。即第三用户字段和第二用户字段的前n个比特可以用于指示同一个用户的标识,即第三用户字段和第二用户字段可以是针对同一个用户的字段。示例性地,n的取值可以为11,第一标识和第二标识可以是STA-ID。基于此,有助于第一用户快速定位其对应的第三用户字段。第二用户字段可以与第三用户字段位于同一个user encoding blocks,有助于第一用户快速定位第三用户字段。The first n bits of the third user field can be used to indicate the first identifier, and the first identifier can be used to indicate the first user. The first n bits of the second user field can also be used to indicate the second identifier, and the second identifier can also be used to indicate the first user, and the second identifier is the same as the first identifier. That is, the first n bits of the third user field and the second user field can be used to indicate the identifier of the same user, that is, the third user field and the second user field can be fields for the same user. Exemplarily, the value of n can be 11, and the first identifier and the second identifier can be STA-ID. Based on this, it helps the first user to quickly locate its corresponding third user field. The second user field can be located in the same user encoding blocks as the third user field, which helps the first user to quickly locate the third user field.
进一步地,第一PPDU还可以包括第一字段,第一字段可以用于指示第一用户字段中是否携带第三用户字段,有助于第一用户判断是否需要寻找与其对应的第三用户字段。示例性地,第一字段可以占据第一PPDU中的一个比特位。当第一字段的取值为第一值时,可以表示第一用户字段中携带第三用户字段。当第一字段的取值为第二值时,可以表示第一用户字段中未携带第三用户字段。例如,第一值可以是1,则第二值可以是0。又如,第一值可以是0,则第二值可以是1。Furthermore, the first PPDU may also include a first field, and the first field may be used to indicate whether the first user field carries a third user field, which helps the first user determine whether it is necessary to find a third user field corresponding to it. Exemplarily, the first field may occupy one bit in the first PPDU. When the value of the first field is a first value, it may indicate that the first user field carries a third user field. When the value of the first field is a second value, it may indicate that the first user field does not carry a third user field. For example, the first value may be 1, and the second value may be 0. For another example, the first value may be 0, and the second value may be 1.
在一些实现方式中,第一字段可以位于第二用户字段中。示例性地,当第二用户字段是前文所述的user field时,第一字段可以在前文所述的user field中占据一个比特位。例如,第一字段可以占据前文所述的user field中的reserved比特位。In some implementations, the first field may be located in the second user field. Exemplarily, when the second user field is the user field described above, the first field may occupy a bit in the user field described above. For example, the first field may occupy a reserved bit in the user field described above.
在另一些实现方式中,第一PPDU还可以包括第一通用字段,则第一字段可以位于第一通用字段中。示例性地,第一通用字段可以是表1所示的common field,则第一字段可以在表1所示的commonfield中占据一个比特位。例如,第一字段可以占据前文所述的common field的第13个比特位。In some other implementations, the first PPDU may further include a first common field, and the first field may be located in the first common field. Exemplarily, the first common field may be the common field shown in Table 1, and the first field may occupy one bit in the common field shown in Table 1. For example, the first field may occupy the 13th bit of the common field described above.
第一字段可以基于第二设备的资源抢占功能被第二设备识别。即具备资源抢占功能的第二设备可以识别第一字段,进而尝试寻找与其对应的一个或多个第三用户字段。不具备资源抢占功能的第二设备可以不对第一字段进行识别,进而也不尝试寻找与其对应的一个或多个第三用户字段,有助于降低这类第二设备的解码开销。第二设备的资源抢占功能可以基于第二设备的第一信息确定,第一信息可以由第二设备的管理实体维护。示例性地,第一信息可以是第二设备的管理信息库(management information base,MIB)信息或者管理信息集信息,例如dot11抢占选项实现(dot11PreemptionOptionImplemented)信息。当第一信息的取值为第一值时,可以表示第二设备支持资源抢占功能。当第一信息的取值为第二值时,可以表示第二设备不支持资源抢占功能。例如,第一值可以为真(true),第二值可以为假(false)。示例性地,第一信息可以由第二设备的站点管理实体(station management entity,SME)维护。The first field can be identified by the second device based on the resource preemption function of the second device. That is, the second device with the resource preemption function can identify the first field, and then try to find one or more third user fields corresponding to it. The second device without the resource preemption function may not identify the first field, and then not try to find one or more third user fields corresponding to it, which helps to reduce the decoding overhead of such second devices. The resource preemption function of the second device can be determined based on the first information of the second device, and the first information can be maintained by the management entity of the second device. Exemplarily, the first information can be the management information base (MIB) information or management information set information of the second device, such as dot11 Preemption Option Implemented information. When the value of the first information is the first value, it can be indicated that the second device supports the resource preemption function. When the value of the first information is the second value, it can be indicated that the second device does not support the resource preemption function. For example, the first value can be true, and the second value can be false. Exemplarily, the first information can be maintained by the station management entity (SME) of the second device.
下面对第一用户字段中的UHR特征信息进行详细介绍。The UHR feature information in the first user field is introduced in detail below.
UHR特征信息可以包括第一时域资源数,第一时域资源数可以指第一用户的第一业务在第一时域资源中占据的OFDM符号数,第一时域资源可以为第一频域RU中划分的时域资源。第一频域RU可以是第一PPDU中的频域RU,第一频域RU可以对应第一用户。即第一时域资源数为第一频域RU中针对第一业务分配的时域资源数。基于第一时域资源数,第一设备或第二设备可以优先在第一时域资源中占据相应数量的OFDM符号数进行第一业务的传输,有助于减少第一业务的传输时延。The UHR characteristic information may include the number of first time domain resources, which may refer to the number of OFDM symbols occupied by the first service of the first user in the first time domain resources, and the first time domain resources may be the time domain resources divided in the first frequency domain RU. The first frequency domain RU may be the frequency domain RU in the first PPDU, and the first frequency domain RU may correspond to the first user. That is, the number of first time domain resources is the number of time domain resources allocated to the first service in the first frequency domain RU. Based on the first number of time domain resources, the first device or the second device may preferentially occupy a corresponding number of OFDM symbols in the first time domain resources to transmit the first service, which helps to reduce the transmission delay of the first service.
进一步地,第一时域资源数可以基于第二字段确定。即第一用户字段可以承载有第二字段,以指示第一时域资源数。第二字段可以在第一用户字段中占据L个比特位,L可以是小于第一用户字段总比特数的正整数。Further, the first time domain resource number can be determined based on the second field. That is, the first user field can carry the second field to indicate the first time domain resource number. The second field can occupy L bits in the first user field, and L can be a positive integer less than the total number of bits in the first user field.
在一些实现方式中,第二字段可以用于指示第一值n,第一值n可以用于指示第一时域资源数相对第二值M的倍数。则第一时域资源数可以基于第一值n与第二值M的乘积n×M确定,乘积n×M可以用于指示第一业务在第一时域资源中占据的前n×M个OFDM符号数。或者,乘积n×M也可以用于指示第一业务在第一时域资源中占据的后n×M个OFDM符号数。其中,第二值M是正整数。例如,第二值M可以为5,10或20。第二值M可以由协议预定义或预配置,或者第二值M也可以由第一设备和第二设备协商确定。第二字段用于指示第一时域资源数相对第二值M的倍数,有助于减少第二字段的信息量。In some implementations, the second field may be used to indicate a first value n, and the first value n may be used to indicate a multiple of the first time domain resource number relative to the second value M. Then the first time domain resource number may be determined based on the product n×M of the first value n and the second value M, and the product n×M may be used to indicate the first n×M number of OFDM symbols occupied by the first service in the first time domain resource. Alternatively, the product n×M may also be used to indicate the last n×M number of OFDM symbols occupied by the first service in the first time domain resource. The second value M is a positive integer. For example, the second value M may be 5, 10 or 20. The second value M may be predefined or preconfigured by the protocol, or the second value M may be determined by negotiation between the first device and the second device. The second field is used to indicate a multiple of the first time domain resource number relative to the second value M, which helps to reduce the amount of information in the second field.
在另一些实现方式中,第二字段可以用于指示第一值n和第二值M。第一值n可以用于指示第一业务在第n个时域资源中,第二值M可以用于指示每个时域资源的OFDM符号数。则第二设备可以基于时域资源的总OFDM符号数和第二值M确定时域资源的个数,再基于第一值n定位第一业务所在的时域资源。其中,时域资源的总OFDM符号数可以通过第一PPDU中的L-SIG字段获取。第一值n是正整数,例如第一值n可以为1,2,3或4。第二值M也是正整数,例如,第二值M可以为5,10或20。示例性地,第一值n可以占据第二字段中的2个比特位,则第二值M可以占据第二字段中的L-2 个比特位。例如,当第一值n的比特位的值为0时可以表示第一值n为1,当其比特位的值为1时可以表示第一值n为2,当其比特位的值为2时可以表示第一值n为3,当其比特位的值为3时可以表示第一值n为4。基于第一值n和第二值M,有助于第二设备快速确定第一时域资源数。In some other implementations, the second field may be used to indicate a first value n and a second value M. The first value n may be used to indicate that the first service is in the nth time domain resource, and the second value M may be used to indicate the number of OFDM symbols in each time domain resource. The second device may then determine the number of time domain resources based on the total number of OFDM symbols in the time domain resources and the second value M, and then locate the time domain resources where the first service is located based on the first value n. The total number of OFDM symbols in the time domain resources may be obtained through the L-SIG field in the first PPDU. The first value n is a positive integer, for example, the first value n may be 1, 2, 3, or 4. The second value M is also a positive integer, for example, the second value M may be 5, 10, or 20. Exemplarily, the first value n may occupy 2 bits in the second field, and the second value M may occupy L-2 bits in the second field. For example, when the value of the bit of the first value n is 0, it can represent that the first value n is 1, when the value of the bit is 1, it can represent that the first value n is 2, when the value of the bit is 2, it can represent that the first value n is 3, and when the value of the bit is 3, it can represent that the first value n is 4. Based on the first value n and the second value M, it is helpful for the second device to quickly determine the number of first time domain resources.
在另一些实现方式中,第二字段可以用于指示第一值n,第一值n可以用于指示第一业务在第n个时域资源中。第一时域资源数可以基于第一值n和第二值M确定,第二值M可以用于指示每个时域资源的OFDM符号数。则第二设备可以基于时域资源的总OFDM符号数和第二值M确定时域资源的个数,再基于第一值n定位第一业务所在的时域资源。其中,时域资源的总OFDM符号数可以通过第一PPDU中的L-SIG字段获取。第一值n是正整数,例如,第一值n可以为1,2,3或4。第二值M也是正整数,例如,第二值M可以为5,10或20。第二值M可以由协议预定义或预配置,或者第二值M也可以由第一设备和第二设备协商确定。第二字段可以仅指示第一业务在第n个时域资源中,有助于减少第一用户字段承载的信息量。In some other implementations, the second field may be used to indicate a first value n, and the first value n may be used to indicate that the first service is in the nth time domain resource. The number of the first time domain resources may be determined based on the first value n and the second value M, and the second value M may be used to indicate the number of OFDM symbols of each time domain resource. The second device may then determine the number of time domain resources based on the total number of OFDM symbols of the time domain resources and the second value M, and then locate the time domain resources where the first service is located based on the first value n. The total number of OFDM symbols of the time domain resources may be obtained through the L-SIG field in the first PPDU. The first value n is a positive integer, for example, the first value n may be 1, 2, 3 or 4. The second value M is also a positive integer, for example, the second value M may be 5, 10 or 20. The second value M may be predefined or preconfigured by the protocol, or the second value M may also be determined by negotiation between the first device and the second device. The second field may only indicate that the first service is in the nth time domain resource, which helps to reduce the amount of information carried by the first user field.
在另一些实现方式中,第二字段可以用于指示第一值n,第一值用于指示每个时域资源的OFDM符号数。第一时域资源数可以基于第一值n和第二值M确定,第二值M可以用于指示第一业务在第M个时域资源中。则第二设备可以基于时域资源的总OFDM符号数和第一值n确定时域资源的个数,再基于第二值M定位第一业务所在的时域资源。其中,时域资源的总OFDM符号数可以通过第一PPDU中的L-SIG字段获取。第二值M可以由协议预定义或预配置,或者第二值M由第一设备和第二设备协商确定。第二字段可以仅指示每个时域资源的OFDM符号数有助于减少第一用户字段承载的信息量。In some other implementations, the second field may be used to indicate a first value n, and the first value is used to indicate the number of OFDM symbols of each time domain resource. The number of the first time domain resources may be determined based on the first value n and the second value M, and the second value M may be used to indicate that the first service is in the Mth time domain resource. The second device may then determine the number of time domain resources based on the total number of OFDM symbols of the time domain resources and the first value n, and then locate the time domain resources where the first service is located based on the second value M. Among them, the total number of OFDM symbols of the time domain resources can be obtained through the L-SIG field in the first PPDU. The second value M may be predefined or preconfigured by the protocol, or the second value M may be determined by negotiation between the first device and the second device. The second field may only indicate the number of OFDM symbols of each time domain resource, which helps to reduce the amount of information carried by the first user field.
值得注意的是,上述第一业务可以是低时延业务,则低时延业务可以优先占据第一时域资源中第一时域资源数对应的OFDM符号数,其余OFDM符号数可以由非低时延业务占据。或者,第一业务可以是非低时延业务,则非低时延业务可以优先占据第一时域资源中第一时域资源数对应的OFDM符号数,其余OFDM符号数可以由低时延业务占据。It is worth noting that the above-mentioned first service may be a low-latency service, in which case the low-latency service may preferentially occupy the number of OFDM symbols corresponding to the first number of time domain resources in the first time domain resources, and the remaining number of OFDM symbols may be occupied by non-low-latency services. Alternatively, the first service may be a non-low-latency service, in which case the non-low-latency service may preferentially occupy the number of OFDM symbols corresponding to the first number of time domain resources in the first time domain resources, and the remaining number of OFDM symbols may be occupied by low-latency services.
UHR特征信息还可以包括低功耗监听模式对应的参数,以便于第二设备切换监听模式。低功耗监听模式对应的参数可以是指示第二设备从低功耗监听模式进入高功耗模式的参数,例如高功率带宽(high power bandwidth)、MCS、空间流数等。其中,high power bandwidth可以用于指示第二设备从低功耗监听模式进入高功耗的带宽。示例性地,承载high power bandwidth的字段(下面简称“high power bandwidth字段”)可以在第一用户字段中占据2个比特。当high power bandwidth字段的取值为0时,可以表示40MHz。当high power bandwidth字段的取值为1时,可以表示80MHz。当high power bandwidth字段的取值为2时,可以表示160MHz。当high power bandwidth字段的取值为3时,可以表示320MHz。The UHR feature information may also include parameters corresponding to the low power listening mode, so that the second device switches the listening mode. The parameters corresponding to the low power listening mode may be parameters indicating that the second device enters the high power mode from the low power listening mode, such as high power bandwidth, MCS, number of spatial streams, etc. Among them, high power bandwidth can be used to indicate the bandwidth of the second device entering the high power mode from the low power listening mode. Exemplarily, the field carrying high power bandwidth (hereinafter referred to as "high power bandwidth field") may occupy 2 bits in the first user field. When the value of the high power bandwidth field is 0, it may represent 40MHz. When the value of the high power bandwidth field is 1, it may represent 80MHz. When the value of the high power bandwidth field is 2, it may represent 160MHz. When the value of the high power bandwidth field is 3, it may represent 320MHz.
除UHR特征信息之外,第一用户字段还可以承载有第一用户的基本信息。第一用户的基本信息可以包括STA-ID、MCS、空间流、编码方式、和启用波束赋形参数等。示例性地,第一用户字段还可以包括fundamental information字段,则第一用户的基本信息可以承载于fundamental information字段中。In addition to the UHR feature information, the first user field may also carry the basic information of the first user. The basic information of the first user may include STA-ID, MCS, spatial stream, coding mode, and enabled beamforming parameters. Exemplarily, the first user field may also include a fundamental information field, and the basic information of the first user may be carried in the fundamental information field.
下面结合图8~图12对本申请实施例的无线通信方法进行举例介绍。值得注意的是,图8~图12中以第一设备是AP,第二设备是STA为例。The wireless communication method of the embodiment of the present application is described below by way of example in conjunction with Figures 8 to 12. It should be noted that in Figures 8 to 12, the first device is an AP and the second device is a STA.
下面结合图8对本申请实施例的无线通信方法中的第一PPDU进行举例介绍。示例性地,图8所示的第一PPDU可以是UHR MU PPDU。在AP与STA之间的通信中,UHR MU PPDU可以用于一个或多个用户的传输。在UHR MU PPDU中,L-STF、L-LTF、L-SIG、RL-SIG、U-SIG和UHR-SIG可以称为pre-UHR调制字段,而UHR-STF、UHR-LTF、data field和PE字段可以称为UHR调制字段。The following is an example of the first PPDU in the wireless communication method of the embodiment of the present application, with reference to FIG8. Exemplarily, the first PPDU shown in FIG8 may be a UHR MU PPDU. In the communication between the AP and the STA, the UHR MU PPDU may be used for transmission of one or more users. In the UHR MU PPDU, L-STF, L-LTF, L-SIG, RL-SIG, U-SIG and UHR-SIG may be referred to as pre-UHR modulation fields, and UHR-STF, UHR-LTF, data field and PE field may be referred to as UHR modulation fields.
20MHz UHR MU PPDU的UHR-SIG字段可以包含一个UHR-SIG content channel。对于OFDMA传输和多用户non-OFDMA传输,40MHz或80MHz的UHR MU PPDU的UHR-SIG字段可以包含两个UHR-SIG content channel。对于OFDMA传输和多用户non-OFDMA传输,160MHz或更宽的UHR MU PPDU的UHR-SIG字段每80MHz频率子块可以包含两个UHR-SIG content channel。当用于OFDMA传输的UHR MU PPDU带宽大于80MHz时,可以允许每个80MHz频率子块的UHR-SIG content channel携带不同的信息。The UHR-SIG field of a 20 MHz UHR MU PPDU may contain one UHR-SIG content channel. For OFDMA transmission and multi-user non-OFDMA transmission, the UHR-SIG field of a 40 MHz or 80 MHz UHR MU PPDU may contain two UHR-SIG content channels. For OFDMA transmission and multi-user non-OFDMA transmission, the UHR-SIG field of a 160 MHz or wider UHR MU PPDU may contain two UHR-SIG content channels per 80 MHz frequency sub-block. When the bandwidth of the UHR MU PPDU for OFDMA transmission is greater than 80 MHz, the UHR-SIG content channel for each 80 MHz frequency sub-block may be allowed to carry different information.
示例性地,UHR-SIG字段的格式可以与图3所示的EHT-SIG的格式相同。UHR-SIG字段的UHR-SIG content channel可以包括common field和user specific field。user specific field中可以包括一个或多个user encoding blocks和padding(如果出现的话),user encoding block中可以包括一个或多个user field。Exemplarily, the format of the UHR-SIG field may be the same as the format of the EHT-SIG shown in FIG3 . The UHR-SIG content channel of the UHR-SIG field may include a common field and a user specific field. The user specific field may include one or more user encoding blocks and padding (if present), and the user encoding block may include one or more user fields.
如前文所述,第一PPDU可以包括第一用户字段。下面结合图9和图10,对本申请实施例的无线通信方法中的第一PPDU的第一用户字段进行举例介绍。示例性地,图9和图10中的第一PPDU可以是图8所示的UHR MU PPDU,第一用户字段可以位于UHR MU PPDU的UHR-SIG字段中。As described above, the first PPDU may include a first user field. The first user field of the first PPDU in the wireless communication method of an embodiment of the present application is introduced by way of example in conjunction with FIG. 9 and FIG. 10. For example, the first PPDU in FIG. 9 and FIG. 10 may be the UHR MU PPDU shown in FIG. 8, and the first user field may be located in the UHR-SIG field of the UHR MU PPDU.
如图9所示,第一用户字段为在UHR-SIG字段的user field的基础上扩大的user field字段,UHR特征信息可以承载于第一用户字段本身。在图9中,UHR特征信息以第一时域资源数为例,则第一时 域资源数可以基于第一用户字段中的第二字段确定。参见图9,第一用户字段可以由fundamental information字段、低延迟抢占时间资源(low latency preemption time resource)/非低延迟抢占时间资源(non-low latency time resource)字段和reserved比特位组成。fundamental information字段可以用于承载第一用户的基本信息,例如第一用户的STA-ID、MCS、空间流、编码方式、和启用波束赋形参数等。low latency preemption time resource/non-low latency time resource字段即第二字段,可以用于承载低延迟业务/非低延迟业务在第一时域资源中占据的OFDM符号数。示例性地,图9中的第一用户字段的结构可以如表5或表6所示,第一用户字段的比特位可以为N。其中fundamental information字段可以占据前22个比特位,low latency preemption time resource/non-low latency time resource字段可以占据fundamental information字段后的L个字段,其余比特位可以作为保留位。low latency preemption time resource/non-low latency time resource字段的取值可以如前文所述,在此不再进行赘述。值得注意的是,本申请实施例中的第一用户字段可以由表5或表6中的一种或多种子字段排列组合而成。表5或表6所示的子字段的排列组合是第一用户字段的多种实现方式之一,不构成对第一用户字段的限定。As shown in FIG9 , the first user field is a user field field expanded on the basis of the user field of the UHR-SIG field, and the UHR characteristic information can be carried in the first user field itself. In FIG9 , the UHR characteristic information takes the first time domain resource number as an example, then the first time domain resource number is The number of domain resources can be determined based on the second field in the first user field. Referring to Figure 9, the first user field can be composed of a fundamental information field, a low latency preemption time resource/non-low latency time resource field, and a reserved bit. The fundamental information field can be used to carry basic information of the first user, such as the STA-ID, MCS, spatial stream, coding method, and beamforming parameters of the first user. The low latency preemption time resource/non-low latency time resource field, i.e., the second field, can be used to carry the number of OFDM symbols occupied by low latency services/non-low latency services in the first time domain resources. Exemplarily, the structure of the first user field in Figure 9 can be as shown in Table 5 or Table 6, and the bit position of the first user field can be N. The fundamental information field can occupy the first 22 bits, the low latency preemption time resource/non-low latency time resource field can occupy the L fields after the fundamental information field, and the remaining bits can be used as reserved bits. The value of the low latency preemption time resource/non-low latency time resource field can be as described above and will not be repeated here. It is worth noting that the first user field in the embodiment of the present application can be composed of one or more subfields in Table 5 or Table 6. The combination of subfields shown in Table 5 or Table 6 is one of the multiple implementation methods of the first user field and does not constitute a limitation on the first user field.

值得注意的是,图9所示的第一用户字段承载的UHR特征信息也可以包括低功耗监听模式对应的参数。示例性地,以第一用户字段的比特位N为30为例,同时承载有第一用户的fundamental information、第一时域资源数(以low latency preemption time resource/non-low latency time resource为例)和低功耗监听模式对应的参数(以high power bandwidth为例)的第一用户字段可以如表7或表8所示。其中,fundamental information可以占据第一用户字段的前22个比特,low latency preemption time resource/non-low latency time resource字段可以占据fundamental information后的6个比特,high power bandwidth字段可以占据其余的2个比特。示例性地,当high power bandwidth字段的值为0可以表示40MHz,当high power bandwidth字段的值为1可以表示80MHz,当high power bandwidth字段的值为2可以表示160MHz,当high power bandwidth字段的值为3可以表示320MHz。值得注意的是,本申请实施例中的第一用户字段可以由表7或表8中的一种或多种子字段排列组合而成。表7或表8所示的子字段的排列组合是第一用户字段的多种实现方式之一,不构成对第一用户字段的限定。It is worth noting that the UHR feature information carried by the first user field shown in FIG9 may also include parameters corresponding to the low power monitoring mode. Exemplarily, taking the bit position N of the first user field as 30 as an example, the first user field carrying the fundamental information of the first user, the number of first time domain resources (taking low latency preemption time resource/non-low latency time resource as an example) and the parameters corresponding to the low power monitoring mode (taking high power bandwidth as an example) may be as shown in Table 7 or Table 8. Among them, fundamental information may occupy the first 22 bits of the first user field, low latency preemption time resource/non-low latency time resource field may occupy 6 bits after fundamental information, and high power bandwidth field may occupy the remaining 2 bits. Exemplarily, when the value of the high power bandwidth field is 0, it can represent 40MHz, when the value of the high power bandwidth field is 1, it can represent 80MHz, when the value of the high power bandwidth field is 2, it can represent 160MHz, and when the value of the high power bandwidth field is 3, it can represent 320MHz. It is worth noting that the first user field in the embodiment of the present application can be composed of one or more sub-fields in Table 7 or Table 8.

如图10所示,第一用户字段也可以为在UHR-SIG字段的user field的基础上额外新增子字段的字段,UHR特征信息可以承载于新增的子字段中。在图9中,UHR特征信息以第一时域资源数为例,则第一时域资源数可以基于第一用户字段中的第二字段确定。示例性地,第一用户字段可以由UHR-SIG字段的user field(即第二用户字段)和用户扩展字段(user extension field)(即第三用户字段)组成。其中user field和user extension field的比特位可以相同,均为22比特。user extension field可以位于user field之后,并且紧邻user field。user field可以用于承载第一用户的基本信息,例如第一用户的STA-ID、MCS、空间流、编码方式、和启用波束赋形参数等。user field的结构可以如表3或表4所示。user extension field则可以用于承载UHR特征信息,示例性地,user extension field的结构可以如表9所示。user extension field的前11位比特位可以用于承载STA-ID,并且STA-ID与user field的前11位承载的STA-ID相同。而且,user extension field可以和user field位于同一个user encoding blocks中。在user extension field中,STA-ID之后的L位比特位可以用于承载low latency preemption time resource/non-low latency time resource字段,low latency preemption time resource/non-low latency time resource字段即第二字段,可以用于承载低延迟业务/非低延迟业务在第一时域资源中占据的OFDM符号数。low latency preemption time resource/non-low latency time resource字段的取值可以如前文所述,在此不再进行赘述。user extension field的其余比特位可以作为reserved比特位。值得注意的是,本申请实施例中的user extension field可以由表9中的一种或多种子字段排列组合而成。表9所示的子字段的排列组合是user extension field的多种实现方式之一,不构成对user extension field的限定。As shown in FIG10 , the first user field may also be a field with an additional subfield added on the basis of the user field of the UHR-SIG field, and the UHR feature information may be carried in the newly added subfield. In FIG9 , the UHR feature information takes the first time domain resource number as an example, and the first time domain resource number may be determined based on the second field in the first user field. Exemplarily, the first user field may be composed of the user field (i.e., the second user field) and the user extension field (i.e., the third user field) of the UHR-SIG field. The bits of the user field and the user extension field may be the same, both of which are 22 bits. The user extension field may be located after the user field and is adjacent to the user field. The user field may be used to carry basic information of the first user, such as the STA-ID, MCS, spatial stream, coding mode, and beamforming parameters of the first user. The structure of the user field may be as shown in Table 3 or Table 4. The user extension field may be used to carry UHR feature information, and exemplary, the structure of the user extension field may be as shown in Table 9. The first 11 bits of the user extension field can be used to carry the STA-ID, and the STA-ID is the same as the STA-ID carried by the first 11 bits of the user field. Moreover, the user extension field can be located in the same user encoding blocks as the user field. In the user extension field, the L bits after the STA-ID can be used to carry the low latency preemption time resource/non-low latency time resource field. The low latency preemption time resource/non-low latency time resource field, i.e., the second field, can be used to carry the number of OFDM symbols occupied by the low latency preemption time resource/non-low latency time resource field in the first time domain resource. The value of the low latency preemption time resource/non-low latency time resource field can be as described above, and will not be repeated here. The remaining bits of the user extension field can be used as reserved bits. It is worth noting that the user extension field in the embodiment of the present application can be composed of one or more sub-fields in Table 9. The sub-field arrangement and combination shown in Table 9 is one of the multiple implementation methods of the user extension field and does not constitute a limitation on the user extension field.
表9 user extension field格式表
Table 9 user extension field format
值得注意的是,图10所示的第一用户字段承载的UHR特征信息也可以包括低功耗监听模式对应的参数。示例性地,同时承载有第一用户的STA-ID、第一时域资源数(以low latency preemption time resource/non-low latency time resource为例)和低功耗监听模式对应的参数(以high power bandwidth为例)的user extension field可以如表10所示。其中,第一用户的STA-ID可以占据user extension field的前11个比特位,low latency preemption time resource/non-low latency time resource字段可以占据STA-ID后的6个比特位,high power bandwidth字段可以占据low latency preemption time resource/non-low latency time resource字段后的2个比特位,其余3个比特位可以作为reserved比特位。值得注意的是,本申请实施例中的user extension field可以由表10中的一种或多种子字段排列组合而成。表10所示的子字段的排列组合是user extension field的多种实现方式之一,不构成对user extension field的限定。It is worth noting that the UHR feature information carried by the first user field shown in FIG10 may also include parameters corresponding to the low power monitoring mode. Exemplarily, the user extension field carrying the STA-ID of the first user, the first time domain resource number (taking low latency preemption time resource/non-low latency time resource as an example) and the parameters corresponding to the low power monitoring mode (taking high power bandwidth as an example) may be as shown in Table 10. Among them, the STA-ID of the first user may occupy the first 11 bits of the user extension field, the low latency preemption time resource/non-low latency time resource field may occupy the 6 bits after the STA-ID, the high power bandwidth field may occupy the 2 bits after the low latency preemption time resource/non-low latency time resource field, and the remaining 3 bits may be used as reserved bits. It is worth noting that the user extension field in the embodiment of the present application may be composed of one or more sub-fields in Table 10. The arrangement and combination of subfields shown in Table 10 is one of the multiple implementation methods of the user extension field and does not constitute a limitation on the user extension field.
表10 user extension field格式表
Table 10 user extension field format
此外,图10所示的UHR-SIG字段包括一个UHR-SIG content channel。如前文所述,对于大于20MHz的UHR MU PPDU进行OFDMA传输和多用户non-OFDMA传输时,其UHR-SIG字段可以包括多个UHR-SIG content channel。因此,图10所示的UHR-SIG字段也可以包括多个UHR-SIG content channel。若图10所示的UHR-SIG字段包括多个UHR-SIG content channel,则不同UHR-SIG content channel的user specific field中的内容可以不同。例如,部分UHR-SIG content channel可以包括user extension field,而其余部分UHR-SIG content channel可以不包括user extension field。例如,40MHz UHR MU PPDU进行OFDMA传输时,UHR-SIG content channel 1可以包括user extension field;UHR-SIG content channel 2可以不包括user extension field。In addition, the UHR-SIG field shown in FIG10 includes a UHR-SIG content channel. As described above, when the UHR MU PPDU greater than 20 MHz performs OFDMA transmission and multi-user non-OFDMA transmission, its UHR-SIG field may include multiple UHR-SIG content channels. Therefore, the UHR-SIG field shown in FIG10 may also include multiple UHR-SIG content channels. If the UHR-SIG field shown in FIG10 includes multiple UHR-SIG content channels, the contents of the user specific fields of different UHR-SIG content channels may be different. For example, some UHR-SIG content channels may include a user extension field, while the remaining UHR-SIG content channels may not include a user extension field. For example, when the 40 MHz UHR MU PPDU performs OFDMA transmission, UHR-SIG content channel 1 may include a user extension field; and UHR-SIG content channel 2 may not include a user extension field.
如前文所述,当第一用户字段包括第三用户字段时,第一PPDU中还可以包括第一字段,以指示第一用户字段中是否携带第三用户字段。下面以图10所示的第一用户字段为例结合图11和图12,对本申请实施例的无线通信方法的第一字段进行举例说明。为了便于理解,第一字段可以是用户扩展启用(user extension enable)字段。As described above, when the first user field includes the third user field, the first PPDU may also include a first field to indicate whether the third user field is carried in the first user field. The first field of the wireless communication method of the embodiment of the present application is illustrated below by taking the first user field shown in FIG. 10 as an example in combination with FIG. 11 and FIG. 12. For ease of understanding, the first field may be a user extension enable field.
如图11所示,第一字段(以user extension enable字段为例)可以位于第一用户字段的第二用户字段(以user field为例)中,指示该user field后是否紧跟着面向同一STA的一个或多个第三用户字段(以user extension field为例)。示例性地,user field的格式可以如表11所示,user extension enable字段可以占据user field的第15个比特位。当user extension enable字段的取值不同,其含义有所不同。例如,当user extension enable字段的值为0,可以表示有user extension field,即STA要尝试继续寻找与自己STA-ID相匹配的额外的一个或多个user extension field。当user extension enable字段的值为1,则可以表示没有user extension field。值得注意的是,本申请实施例中的user field可以由表11中的一种或多种子字段排列组合而成。表11所示的子字段的排列组合是user field的多种实现方式之一,不构成对user field的限定。As shown in FIG. 11, the first field (taking the user extension enable field as an example) may be located in the second user field (taking the user field as an example) of the first user field, indicating whether the user field is followed by one or more third user fields (taking the user extension field as an example) for the same STA. Exemplarily, the format of the user field may be as shown in Table 11, and the user extension enable field may occupy the 15th bit of the user field. When the value of the user extension enable field is different, its meaning is different. For example, when the value of the user extension enable field is 0, it may indicate that there is a user extension field, that is, the STA will try to continue to find one or more additional user extension fields that match its STA-ID. When the value of the user extension enable field is 1, it may indicate that there is no user extension field. It is worth noting that the user field in the embodiment of the present application may be composed of one or more sub-fields in Table 11. The sub-field arrangement and combination shown in Table 11 is one of the multiple implementations of the user field and does not constitute a limitation on the user field.

如图12所示,第一字段也可以位于第一PPDU的common field中,指示该common field对应的user specific field中是否含有面向同一STA的一个user field和额外的一个或多个user extension field。示例性地,common field的格式可以如表12所示,user extension enable字段可以占据common field的第13个比特位。当user extension enable字段的取值不同,其含义有所不同。例如,当user extension enable字段的值为0,可以表示有user extension field,即STA要尝试继续寻找与自己STA-ID相匹配的额外的一个或多个user extension field。当user extension enable字段的值为1,则可以表示没有user extension field。值得注意的是,本申请实施例中的common field可以由表12中的一种或多种子字段排列组合而成。表12所示的子字段的排列组合是common field的多种实现方式之一,不构成对common field的限定。As shown in FIG. 12, the first field may also be located in the common field of the first PPDU, indicating whether the user specific field corresponding to the common field contains a user field and one or more additional user extension fields for the same STA. Exemplarily, the format of the common field may be as shown in Table 12, and the user extension enable field may occupy the 13th bit of the common field. When the value of the user extension enable field is different, its meaning is different. For example, when the value of the user extension enable field is 0, it may indicate that there is a user extension field, that is, the STA will try to continue to find one or more additional user extension fields that match its STA-ID. When the value of the user extension enable field is 1, it may indicate that there is no user extension field. It is worth noting that the common field in the embodiment of the present application may be composed of one or more subfields in Table 12. The subfield arrangement and combination shown in Table 12 is one of the multiple implementations of the common field and does not constitute a limitation on the common field.
