Abstract

Disclosed are a signal transmission method and a corresponding device. The method includes: acquiring a second-type target station that matches a first-type target station; making a channel reservation with the second-type target station; and after the reservation is completed, transmitting a first signal to the first-type target station.

Claims (49)

1. A signal transmission method, comprising:

acquiring a second-type target station that matches a first-type target station; making a channel reservation with the second-type target station; and

after the reservation is completed, transmitting a first signal to the first-type target station,

wherein the acquiring a second-type target station that matches a first-type target station comprises: acquiring parameter information of the first-type target station and parameter information of a plurality of second-type stations; and finding out the second-type target station from the second-type stations, on a basis of the acquired parameter information and according to a preset matching strategy.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein an operating bandwidth of the first-type target station is smaller than an operating bandwidth of the second-type target station.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the parameter information comprises at least one of: location information or power information.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the matching strategy comprises:

selecting a second-type station closest to the first-type target station; or

in response to determining that at least two second-type stations closest to the first-type target station exist, selecting any one second-type station from the at least two second-type stations closest to the first-type target station, or selecting a second-type station having higher power from the at least two second-type stations closest to the first-type target station; or

selecting a second-type station having highest power; or

in response to determining that at least two second-type stations having highest power exist, selecting any one second-type station from the at least two second-type stations having the highest power, or selecting a second-type station closer to the first-type target station from the at least two second-type stations having the highest power.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the making a channel reservation with the second-type target station comprises:

making the channel reservation with the second-type target station within an operating bandwidth corresponding to the second-type target station.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the making the channel reservation with the second-type target station within an operating bandwidth corresponding to the second-type target station comprises:

within the operating bandwidth corresponding to the second-type target station, sending a Request to Send frame to the second-type target station, and receiving a Clear to Send frame responded by the second-type target station; or

within the operating bandwidth corresponding to the second-type target station, sending a short data frame or a null data frame or a Quality of Service null data frame to the second-type target station, and receiving an acknowledgement frame responded by the second-type target station.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmitting a first signal to the first-type target station comprises:

transmitting the first signal to the first-type target station within an operating bandwidth corresponding to the first-type target station.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein before the transmitting the first signal to the first-type target station within an operating bandwidth corresponding to the first-type target station, the method comprises:

transmitting a second signal, wherein the second signal at least comprises: a non-high throughput short training field, a non-high throughput long training field, and a non-high throughput signal field.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein a space between the second signal and the first signal is zero or a short interframe space.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the first signal is an Internet of Things signal and the second signal is a wireless local area network signal; and

the first-type target station is an Internet of Things device station, and the second-type target station is a wireless local area network device station.

11. An access point device, comprising a memory and a processor, wherein the memory is configured to store a signal transmission computer program and the processor is configured to:

acquiring a second-type target station that matches a first-type target station;

making a channel reservation with the second-type target station; and

after the reservation is completed, transmitting a first signal to the first-type target station,

wherein the processor is configured to acquire the second-type target station that matches the first-type target station in a manner of:

acquiring parameter information of the first-type target station and parameter information of a plurality of second-type stations; and

finding out the second-type target station the second-type stations, on a basis of the acquired parameter information and according to a preset matching strategy.

12. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, which is configured to store a signal transmission computer program which, when executed by at least one processor, causes the processor to:

acquire a second-type target station that matches a first-type target station; make a channel reservation with the second-type target station; and

after the reservation is completed, transmit a first signal to the first-type target station, wherein the acquire the second-type target station that matches the first-type target station comprises:

acquiring parameter information of the first-type target station and parameter information of a plurality of second-type stations; and

finding out the second-type target station the second-type stations, on a basis of the acquired parameter information and according to a preset matching strategy.

13. The device of claim 11 , wherein an operating bandwidth of the first-type target station is smaller than an operating bandwidth of the second-type target station.

14. The device of claim 11 , wherein the parameter information comprises at least one of: location information or power information.

15. The device of claim 14 , wherein the matching strategy comprises:

selecting a second-type station closest to the first-type target station; or

in response to determining that at least two second-type stations closest to the first-type target station exist, selecting any one second-type station from the at least two second-type stations closest to the first-type target station, or selecting a second-type station having higher power from the at least two second-type stations closest to the first-type target station; or

selecting a second-type station having highest power; or

in response to determining that at least two second-type stations having highest power exist, selecting any one second-type station from the at least two second-type stations having the highest power, or selecting a second-type station closer to the first-type target station from the at least two second-type stations having the highest power.

16. The device of claim 11 , wherein the processor is configured to make the channel reservation with the second-type target station in a manner of:

making the channel reservation with the second-type target station within an operating bandwidth corresponding to the second-type target station.

17. The device of claim 16 , wherein the making the channel reservation with the second-type target station within an operating bandwidth corresponding to the second-type target station comprises:

within the operating bandwidth corresponding to the second-type target station, sending a Request to Send frame to the second-type target station, and receiving a Clear to Send frame responded by the second-type target station; or

within the operating bandwidth corresponding to the second-type target station, sending a short data frame or a null data frame or a Quality of Service null data frame to the second-type target station, and receiving an acknowledgement frame responded by the second-type target station.

18. The device of claim 11 , wherein the processor is configured to transmit the first signal to the first-type target station in a manner of:

transmitting the first signal to the first-type target station within an operating bandwidth corresponding to the first-type target station.
