Definitions
- the present invention relates to communications systems. More particularly, the present invention provides a system and method for an IEEE 802.11 Access Point (AP) to prevent traffic suffering bad-link-quality from over occupying the channel and affecting other traffic. Most particularly, in the system and method of the present invention an AP identifies the traffic suffering from bad link quality and dynamically controls channel access to restrict the effect of bad-link-quality in an IEEE 802.11 local area network (LAN) environment.
- AP IEEE 802.11 Access Point
- the basic service set is the fundamental building block of an IEEE 802.11 LAN.
- Each BSS consists of at least two stations.
- Two types of networks are supported: the Infrastructure BSS and the Independent BSS.
- the Infrastructure BSS stations communicate via a central AP.
- the central AP receives traffic from a source station and relays it to a destination station.
- each station communicates with others directly, without the assistance of an AP.
- an AP also provides access to the distribution system (DS), connecting a wireless network with external networks (Ethernet LANs, Internet, etc.). Therefore, the Infrastructure BSS is used to implement enterprise networks that require such connectivity.
- the Independent BSS can readily be employed to establish an ad hoc network.
- a typical Infrastructure BSS is illustrated in FIG. 1, in a BSS of three stations 103 served by an AP 102 that is connected to an Ethernet Switch 101.
- the wireless stations 103 communicate with one another via the AP 102 and can access resources in a wired external network 100 via the AP 102, which has another interface 101 to the wired external network.
- the wireless stations 103 can, for examle, download files or stream video from the server(s) 100 that are connected to the wired network.
- the sender waits for an acknowledgement from the intended receiver. If the acknowledgement is not received after a certain time has elapsed, i.e., a timeout occurs, the sender assumes that the previous packet did not reach the receiver. The sender retransmits the packet and again waits for an acknowledgement. When no acknowledgement is received, the sender repeats the send-packet/wait-for- acknowledgement procedure until a pre-determined retransmission limit is reached. When this limit is reached, the sender gives up and the transmission is considered to have failed.
- a transmission error can occur for a variety of reasons, very often caused by a bad wireless link condition.
- the link condition can go bad gradually as when a wireless station moves away from an AP, e.g., during handoff. Or, the link condition can go bad all at once, which occurs less commonly, as in the case when the wireless station is terminated abruptly during a transmission. Even when the station is not moving or terminated, the link condition can still fluctuate significantly over a short period of time due to small scale fading of the wireless channel.
- all down stream traffic from the network server(s) 100 to the wirelss stations must be forwarded by an AP 102. That is, the AP 102 is responsible for forwarding the traffic from the server(s) 100 to the destination wireless stations and since there is only one wireless media, all traffic addressed to different wireless destination stations must compete for access to the media to reach their destination stations.
- the AP 102 will not be able to reach the station while trying to deliver a packet. Due to the retransmission policy, however, the AP 102 diligently attempts to deliver the packet and retransmits over and over until a pre-determined retransmission limit is reached. As a result, the effective bandwidth consumed by the bad link increases multi-fold. This increase in bandwidth usage comes at the expense of other traffic whose share of bandwidth decreases correspondingly. The net effect is that the quality of traffic on good links suffers because of the increased traffic on the bad link. Instead of one packet being transmitted, multiple packets are transmitted in a futile attempt to deliver the packet over the bad link.
- the present invention provides an apparatus and method that restricts traffic on a bad link at the driver level 301 of the wireless interface 300, illustrated in FIG. 3, without requiring any change to the underlying IEEE 802.11 LAN transmission protocol.
- the system and method of the present invention sets an upper limit per destination station on the maximum number of packets that can be buffered by the network interface driver transmit queue, e.g., 304 and thereby achieves an upper limit on the number of packets that can exist in this device, i.e., card 302, that are competing for the wireless medium.
- the present invention puts a per-destination limit on the number of packets the driver can pass to the network interface device 302, which in a preferred embodiment is a network interface card 302.
- the network interface device 302 which in a preferred embodiment is a network interface card 302.
- the network driver 301 of the network interface 300 dynamically controls the flow of packets into the network interface device 302, limiting the packets addressed to a station having a bad link and thereby reducing the effect of one bad link on other traffic competing for bandwidth over the wireless medium and controlled by the same AP.
- FIG. 1 illustrates a typical wireless local area network WLAN for an Infrastructure BSS connected to an external network.
- FIG . 2 is a flow diagram of a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
- FIG. 3 illustrates a wireless interface of an AP according to the present invention.
- the present invention is a system and method for reducing the impact of bad links between an AP and wireless stations on other traffic competing for bandwidth over the wireless medium by dynamically manipulating the limit on the number of packets that can be queued in the AP for transmission to a given wireless station. If the link between the AP and a station is good, the limit is set to a pre-determined maximum. If the link degrades and a transmission error, this maximum is reduced in a pre-determined way to limit the impact of retransmissions on other traffic being handled by the AP.
- the preferred embodiment places a limit on the number of consecutive errors that can occur on a link and dissociates a station once that limit is exceeded. Further, if the link keeps going bad during a series of packet transmissions to a wireless station, the system and method of the present invention only allows one packet to be queued for transmission until the link is consistently good.
- FIG. 2 is a flow of the logic of a preferred embodiment of the system and method of the present invention and FIG. 3 shows a preferred system for implementing this logic in the wireless driver of a wireless interface 300 of an AP 103.
- the wireless interface 300 comprises a wireless interface driver 301 interfaced to a wireless interface card 302.
- the wireless interface driver has an active queue for each active station i , j, ... (QJ 305 for station i, QJ for station j, ...) and a shared TX queue 304 for holding a number of packets pkt_i+pktj+ ... for all stations i, j, ... that are waiting to be passed to the wireless interface card for transmission to station i.
- the system and method of the present invention begins at any point in time by obtaining the next event to process at step 200, determining the type of event and taking an appropriate action as follows: 1. If the event is a request for association with a wireless station STA at step
- the next event is then obtained at step 200 and the process repeats.
- the active station index i is set to wireless station STA at step 205 and if the number of station I'S packets already placed into the 2 queue 304 waiting to be passed to the device 302 is greater than or equal to max p tj at step 206, the packet is queued in QJ 304 at step
- step 200 The next event is then obtained at step 200 and the process repeats. If the number of station z's packets already placed into the Z-Y " queue 304 waiting to be passed to the device 302 is less than max pktj at step 206, 2a. the number of packets placed by station i into the TX queue 304 and waiting to be passed to the device 302 for transmission to station i is incremented by one at step 207, the packet is entered into the transmission queue
- the number of packets waiting in Q_i to be placed into the TX queue 304 is checked at step 209. If there are no packets waiting to be placed into the TX queue 304, the next event is then obtained at step 200 and the process repeats. However, if there are packets for station / waiting to be placed in the TX queue 304, the number of station i 's packets waiting in the TX queue 304 for passing to the device 302 for transmission to a station is checked against the dynamically set maxj)ktj at step 210 and if the maximum has not been reached a packet is dequeued at step 211 from Q__i and stage 2a above is performed with the dequeued packet. If the number of station i's packets waiting in the TX queue 304 for passing to the device 302 for transmission is at the maximum (i.e., equal to maxjpktj) as checked at step 210, the next event is then obtained at step
- the system and method of the present invention queues packets in individual QJ queues for each station i in the driver 301 before passing them to the TX queue 304 to await transmission once the station z has queued a dynamically set maximum number of packets maxjpktj to await being passed to the device 302 for transmission. Packets are removed at step 211 from the queue QJ 305 and passed to the TX queue 304 to await transmission once there is room in the TX queue 304 for station z's packets, as determined at step 210.
- Each station has a dynamically set maximum number of packets maxjpktj that can be in the TX queue 304 at any given time. Once this maximum number has been exceeded, packets for station i are queued in
- the number of consecutive transmission errors tx errj is checked to see if a pre-determined maximum for this parameter MAXj ONSEC_ERR has been exceeded at step 215 and, if so, the station i ⁇ STA is dissociated and the queue QJ 304 is flushed at step 219 and the next event is then obtained at step 200 and the process repeats.
- the number of successful transmissions tx_okJ is checked to see if a pre-determined minimum number of consecutive successful transmissions MIN_CONSEC_OK has been exceeded at step 216 and, if not, the maximum number of packets that can be place into the TX queue for station i, maxjpktj, is set to one at step 217 and in either case the number of consecutive successfully transmitted packets tx_okj is set to zero at step 218 and stage 2b above is performed. 4.
- the maximum number of packets maxjpktj that can placed in TX queue 305 for station i is dynamically set to the minimum of twice the previous value for this maximum number of packets and the predetermined value MAXJTX_QUEUEJ J EN at step 222 (so that this value never exceeds MAXJTXjQUEUEJLEN).
- the number of consecutive packet transmission errors txjzrrj is set to zero at step 223 and stage 2b above is performed. Otherwise the event is not recognized and the next event is obtained at step 200 and the process repeats.
