一种基于AP协作的多小区多用户全双工MAC协议

Aiming at the problems of low efficiency of buffer information collection and sharp drop of system throughput caused by the aggravation of conflicts in the multi basic service set (BSS) high density deployment overlap coverage scenario of next generation wireless local access network (WLAN), an access point cooperation based multi-BSS multi-user full duplex multiple access protocol named as CMMFD is proposed. Firstly, a channel resource allocation algorithm for stations (STA) in overlapping coverage area is designed, in which, the access control (AC) equipment allocates the channel resources for all STA in response to buffer state and interference information (BI) according to the proportion of STA in the overlapped coverage area. Secondly, a BI information collection protocol process based on access point (AP) cooperation sending trigger frame is designed to collect all STA information. After receiving trigger frame, STA will access the channel and report BI information in p-probability according to the channel resources allocated by AC. Finally, a multi-BSS multi-user channel resource allocation algorithm based on full duplex is designed. AC allocates channel resources according to all BI information reported by AP, and schedules STA in the multi-BSS to carry out multi-user full duplex transmission over the sub-channel. Simulation results show that the throughput of the CMMFD protocol improves by 29.6%, compared with Mu-FuPlex protocol and EnFD-OMAX protocol.
