摘要: IEEE 802.11ax系统中站点(Station,STA)数量众多和潜在的高数据包冲突率导致无线局域网通信效率显著降低,本文针对上行多用户传输中的无效帧填充问题,以每轮传输中用户组的传输延迟为优化目标,提出一种多用户调度和资源分配算法。基于OFDMA上行调度接入中动态传输时间的帧交互方案,接入点(Access Point,AP)结合STA提供的信道状态信息(Channel State Information,CSI)和缓冲区状态报告(Buffer State Report,BSR)信息来确定各站点的传输延迟;针对最小化组内用户传输延迟差的优化问题,设计传输机会(Transmit Opportunity,TXOP)时长内用户分组策略及资源块(Resource Unit,RU)-STA匹配方案;进而以最大化信道利用率为目标,确定各站点的发射功率,同时保障每组用户的传输速率。与参考调度策略对比,本文提出的调度和资源分配算法在连续多帧传输的信道利用率上有10%~15%的提升,同时也保证了用户间传输速率的稳定性。Abstract: In IEEE 802.11ax system, the large number of stations and the potential high packet collision rate lead to a significant reduction in the communication efficiency of WLAN. This paper proposes a multi-user scheduling and resource allocation algorithm based on transmission delay to solve the problem of invalid frame filling in uplink multi-user transmission. Based on dynamic transmission time of frame interaction scheme in uplink scheduling access, access point (AP) combined with the channel state information (CSI) and buffer state report information (BSR) provided by the station (STA) to determine the transmission delay of each station. Aiming to minimize the transmission delay difference of users within the group, the user grouping strategy and resource unit (RU)-STA matching scheme were proposed. Then, aiming to maximize transmission efficiency, the transmission power of each user is determined and the channel utilization rate of each group is guaranteed. Compared with the reference scheduling strategy, the proposed algorithm improves the channel utilization rate of continuous multi-frame transmission by 10% to 15%, and also ensures the stability of the user network throughput.
