Embodiment
Below in conjunction with drawings and Examples, the specific embodiment of the present invention is described in further detail:
A kind of method of on WAP (wireless access point), optimizing the unknown unicast forwarding of the embodiment of the invention, be used for wireless terminal by the communication process of WAP (wireless access point) at wireless network, wherein wireless network comprises the WAP (wireless access point) of a multicast tree of a plurality of compositions at least, comprise a root WAP (wireless access point) in a plurality of WAP (wireless access point), wherein, wireless terminal includes but not limited to that MESH terminal STA, WAP (wireless access point) include but not limited to that MAP, wireless network include but not limited to the MESH network.This method may further comprise the steps:
Step s101, in wireless network, set up multicast tree, the root WAP (wireless access point) is combined the formation multicast transmit tree to all recipients' shortest path, when using shared tree, corresponding certain MESH network has only one tree in the network, all broadcasting or unknown multicast source and recipient use this tree to receive and dispatch message, multicast source sends datagram to the tree root clean culture earlier, and message is transmitted downwards along multicast tree again and arrived all recipients afterwards.All WAP (wireless access point) in the wireless network all participate in setting up multicast tree, can choose one of them WAP (wireless access point) and set up multicast tree as root WAP (wireless access point) MESH Root.The method of wherein choosing the root WAP (wireless access point) is a lot, and generally, for the disposal ability that improves system, transmission rate etc., the root WAP (wireless access point) need have stronger data-handling capacity than other WAP (wireless access point), and can store more information.After obtaining the root WAP (wireless access point), just need set up multicast tree, implementation can comprise a variety of, inundation method for example, root WAP (wireless access point) all WAP (wireless access point) in the MESH network send broadcasts, after WAP (wireless access point) is received certain packet, at first judge whether it is to receive this packet first, if receive first, so its total interface by this WAP (wireless access point) is transmitted, finally can arrive all WAP (wireless access point) to guarantee it; If not receiving first, then abandon this packet.The realization key of inundation method is the detection of receiving first, needs to safeguard a packet tabulation of passing through recently, but the Maintenance free routing table.After all WAP (wireless access point) in the packet arrival network, according to path loss, load balancing the path is optimized, delete unnecessary path, guarantee the tree-shaped connection of all nodes in the multicast tree.The multicast tree of setting up as shown in Figure 1, comprise: root WAP (wireless access point) MESH Root, WAP (wireless access point) 1 to 6, wireless terminal 1 and wireless terminal 2, wherein WAP (wireless access point) 1 and 2 is child nodes of root WAP (wireless access point) MESH Root, WAP (wireless access point) 3 and 4 is child nodes of WAP (wireless access point) 1, WAP (wireless access point) 5 and 6 is child nodes of WAP (wireless access point) 2, and wireless terminal 1 is by WAP (wireless access point) 4 access of radio network, and wireless terminal 2 is by WAP (wireless access point) 5 access of radio network.
Describe with an example of setting up multicast tree in the MESH network below: under PREACTIVE (initiatively) pattern, multicast tree is set up process and is specifically comprised:
MESH ROOT other WAP (wireless access point) periodic broadcasts in wireless network are route request information PREACTIVE ROUTE REQUEST (being PREACTIVE RREQ) or route advertisement message ROUTE ANNOUNCEMENT (both RANN) initiatively.
After other MP in the MESH network receive route request information from MESH ROOT, respond route response message ROUTE REPLY (being RREP) to MESH ROOT; The port that will receive route response message simultaneously carries out record, joins in the multicast tree.Certainly, there is more than a pair of port to be connected between some MP or between MP and the MESH ROOT, then needs the path to be optimized, delete unnecessary path, guarantee the tree-shaped connection of all nodes in the multicast tree according to path loss, load balancing.
Step s102, establishing wireless terminal 1 will send datagram to wireless terminal 2, and then wireless terminal 1 is the source wireless terminal, and wireless terminal 2 is the purpose wireless terminal.Wherein, message comprises unicast message, multicast message and broadcasting packet.WAP (wireless access point) 4 receives the message that wireless terminal 1 mails to wireless terminal 2, in the routing table of this WAP (wireless access point), search whether the route of wireless terminal 1 to wireless terminal 2 is arranged, if have, then directly along this routing forwarding message, the purpose MP address after this message encapsulation is the address of WAP (wireless access point) 5; If no, then message is sent to the root WAP (wireless access point) by WAP (wireless access point) 1.Have under the situation of transmitting route in WAP (wireless access point) 1, the described MESH six address message encapsulation common to the message use, purpose MP address (address 3 in the MESH message) is the address of root WAP (wireless access point), clean culture sends to the root WAP (wireless access point).Wherein, the address comprises in the encapsulation of MESH six address message: RA (receiver address), TA (transmission address), DA (purpose MP address), SA (MP address, source), purpose STA address and STA address, source.When wireless terminal 1 when WAP (wireless access point) 4 sends messages, employing be the three-address packing forms, promptly purpose STA address is that address, the STA address, source of STA2 are the address of STA1, RA is the address of WAP (wireless access point) 4; After this message arrives WAP (wireless access point) 4, if known route, promptly know and to arrive wireless terminal 2 by WAP (wireless access point) 5, original three-address message is encapsulated as MESH six address message again, wherein, RA is that the address of WAP (wireless access point) 2, the address that TA is WAP (wireless access point) 1, the address that DA is WAP (wireless access point) 5, the address that SA is WAP (wireless access point) 4, address, the STA address, source that purpose STA address is STA2 are the address of STA1.Do not transmit in WAP (wireless access point) 1 under the situation of route, because purpose MP address the unknown need be special multicast address with the purpose MP address setting of message.
Step s103, the root WAP (wireless access point) receives the message from WAP (wireless access point) 4; Routing table is being searched in address according to wireless terminal 2 in this message, judge whether the route of wireless terminal 2, if having, then along this routing forwarding message, and with this route by the 1 notice WAP (wireless access point) 4 of the WAP (wireless access point) in the multicast tree, make it can safeguard this route.If do not have, with the purpose MP address setting of message is special multicast address, then send this message along multicast tree, be about to this message and send to wireless points 5 and 6 respectively by WAP (wireless access point) 2, send to WAP (wireless access point) 3 (because WAP (wireless access point) 1 knows that the source wireless terminal is from WAP (wireless access point) 4 by WAP (wireless access point) 1, therefore, message can not sent to WAP (wireless access point) 4).Wherein, WAP (wireless access point) 3 and 6 is not found wireless terminal 2 by searching, and does not then handle, and the address of WAP (wireless access point) 5 discovery wireless terminals 2 is wireless terminals below this machine, then this message is sent to wireless terminal 2.At this moment, use common MESH six address decapsulation process in WAP (wireless access point) 5, MESH six addresses are descapsulated into the three-address message to be sent, different is, because purpose MP address (DA) is multicast address, judged originally that whether DA was that the place of this machine address changes into and judges that whether DA is that special multicast address is just passable, other are identical: if multicast address, and purpose STA address is the address of STA2, and then WAP (wireless access point) 5 is transmitted to wireless terminal 2 according to the MAC Address of internal layer.
Step s104, WAP (wireless access point) 5 sends the route requests message along the path that receives message to WAP (wireless access point) 4, promptly the route requests message is sent to the root WAP (wireless access point) by WAP (wireless access point) 2, the root WAP (wireless access point) sends to WAP (wireless access point) 4 with this message by WAP (wireless access point) 1 again, makes the route of setting up wireless terminal 1 and wireless terminal 2 between WAP (wireless access point) 4 and the WAP (wireless access point) 5.In addition, this route is set up in the process, and message can add the route of wireless terminal 1 and wireless terminal 2 in this node through the WAP (wireless access point) on the path.
Step s105, because the WAP (wireless access point) in the wireless network is not only static the existence, might increase WAP (wireless access point) or deletion WAP (wireless access point) newly, or exist some WAP (wireless access point) break down can't operate as normal situation, therefore, the root WAP (wireless access point) needs often to upgrade multicast tree.The specific implementation method is: the wireless economize on electricity of root is broadcasting packet in wireless network periodically, repeats to set up the process of multicast tree, to reach the purpose of upgrading multicast tree.
The embodiment of the invention also provides a kind of WAP (wireless access point), as shown in Figure 3, comprising: message receiving element 110 is used to receive the message that certain wireless terminal under the WAP (wireless access point) mails to another wireless terminal under another WAP (wireless access point); Route judging unit 120 judges whether that wireless terminal arrives the route of another wireless terminal, if do not have, then message is sent to message retransmission unit 130; Message retransmission unit 130 sends to the root WAP (wireless access point) with message, sends to another WAP (wireless access point) for the root WAP (wireless access point) along multicast tree; Route acquisition unit 140, be used to receive the route requests that another WAP (wireless access point) sends after, and set up the route of wireless terminal and another wireless terminal between another WAP (wireless access point); Multicast tree adds unit 150, is used to receive the broadcasting packet that the root WAP (wireless access point) sends, and when receiving message first, its total interface by WAP (wireless access point) is transmitted, and after all WAP (wireless access point) in the message arrival network, deletes unnecessary path.
