Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more apparent, the present application is described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application.

The network mode control method provided by the embodiment of the application can be applied to a dual connection architecture as shown in fig. 1. The terminal 101 may establish an air interface connection with the main base station 102 (also referred to as a master node), so as to implement communication with the main base station 102; the terminal 101 may also establish an air interface connection with the secondary base station 103 (also referred to as a secondary node), so as to implement communication with the secondary base station 103; the terminal 101 may also establish air interface connections with the main base station 102 and the secondary base station 103 at the same time, so as to simultaneously implement communication with the main base station 102 and the secondary base station 103.

In the dual connectivity mode, the terminal 101 establishes two connections with the primary base station 102 and the secondary base station 103 at the same time, where the primary base station 102 is mainly responsible for signaling transmission and the secondary base station 103 is responsible for data transmission. Fig. 2 is a structural diagram of a communication module of a terminal in a dual connectivity mode according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 2, in order to realize simultaneous communication with two base stations, the terminal needs to have two sets of communication modules, where the two sets of communication modules correspond to the two base stations respectively. The first modem module (modem) and the first radio frequency path (including the first radio frequency circuit and the first radio frequency antenna) form a first set of communication modules, and the first set of communication modules corresponds to the first base station. A second modem module (modem) and a second radio frequency path (including a second radio frequency circuit and a second radio frequency antenna) form a second set of communication modules, which correspond to a second base station. In one example, the first modem is a 5G modem, the second modem is a 4G modem, the first radio frequency circuitry is 5G RF, and the second radio frequency circuitry is 4G RF. In the dual connection mode, the first communication module and the second communication module operate simultaneously.

The types of the main base station 102 and the secondary base station 103 shown in fig. 1 may be the same or different. In one example, the primary base station 102 is an LTE base station and the secondary base station 103 is an NR base station. In another example, the primary base station 102 is an NR base station, and the secondary base station 103 is also an NR base station. In yet another example, the primary base station 102 is an NR base station and the secondary base station 103 is an LTE base station. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the types of the main base station 102 and the secondary base station 103.

In one example, the dual connection mode is an EN-DC mode or a next generation EN-DC (NGEN-DC) mode, in which case the primary base station is an LTE base station and the secondary base station is an NR base station, and the terminal communicates with both the LTE base station and the NR base station.

In another example, the dual connectivity mode is an NR-evolved UMTS (NR-EUTRA, NE-DC) mode, in which case the primary base station is an NR base station and the secondary base station is an LTE base station, and the terminal communicates with both the LTE and NR base stations.

It should be noted that the dual connection mode is not limited to the EN-DC mode and the NE-DC mode, and the specific type of the dual connection mode is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

In a specific implementation, the deployment manner of the primary base station and the secondary base station may be co-base deployment (for example, the NR base station and the LTE base station may be disposed on one entity device), or may also be non-co-base deployment (for example, the NR base station and the LTE base station may be disposed on different entity devices), which is not limited in this application. Here, the LTE base station may be referred to as an evolved Node B (eNB), and the NR base station may be referred to as a next generation base station (gNB). It should be noted that the present application may not be limited to the correlation between the coverage areas of the primary base station and the secondary base station, for example, the primary base station and the secondary base station may overlap.

For a specific type of the terminal 101, the present application may not be limited, and it may be any user equipment that supports the above dual connection mode, for example, a smart phone, a personal computer, a notebook computer, a tablet computer, a portable wearable device, and the like.

The following describes in detail the technical solutions of the present application and how the technical solutions of the present application solve the above technical problems by embodiments and with reference to the drawings. The following several specific embodiments may be combined with each other, and details of the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments.

It should be noted that: in the present examples, "first", "second", etc. are used for distinguishing similar objects and are not necessarily used for describing a particular order or sequence.

The technical means described in the embodiments of the present application may be arbitrarily combined without conflict.

Fig. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a network mode control method according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 3, the method mainly comprises the following steps:

s301, acquiring network parameters in the communication process by using a first network; the network parameter is a parameter representing the transmission performance of the first network; the first network is a network accessed by accessing the first base station.

In the embodiment of the application, the terminal may obtain the network parameters in the communication process by using the first network.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the terminal supports a dual connection mode and a single connection mode, in the dual connection mode, the terminal communicates with both the first base station and the second base station, and in the single connection mode, the terminal communicates with the first base station, the first base station is a primary base station, and the second base station is a secondary base station.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, before the terminal acquires the network parameter in the communication process using the first network, the terminal may further receive a start operation to start the network mode optimization function, and accordingly, when the terminal starts the network mode optimization function, the terminal acquires the network parameter and further performs a subsequent step of network mode optimization. Wherein the network mode optimization function may be an intelligent 5G function.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the current network access mode of the terminal may be a single connection mode or a dual connection mode. If the current network access mode of the terminal is the single connection mode, only the first base station is actually accessed to utilize the first network for communication. And if the current network access mode of the terminal is a dual-connection mode, the terminal accesses the first base station and the second base station at the same time and utilizes the second network to carry out communication.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, a network parameter in a process of a terminal performing communication by using a first network is a parameter representing transmission performance of the first network, for example, a parameter such as a packet loss rate and a delay time. Specific network parameters are not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

S302, determining the network state of the first network based on the network parameters.

In the embodiment of the application, after the terminal acquires the network parameters in the communication process by using the first network, the network state of the first network can be determined based on the network parameters.

Specifically, in an embodiment of the present application, the network parameter includes a plurality of parameters of different types, and the determining, by the terminal, the network state of the first network includes: weighting and summing the parameters by using the weight corresponding to each parameter in the parameters to obtain state parameters; when the state parameter is larger than a first parameter threshold value, determining that the network state is a congestion state; and when the state parameter is smaller than the second parameter threshold value, determining that the network state is an idle state.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the network parameter includes multiple parameters of different types, and the importance degree of each type of parameter in the process of measuring the network transmission performance is different. For each type of parameter, a corresponding weight is stored in the terminal, so that the plurality of parameters are weighted and summed by using the weights to obtain a state parameter which can be used for judging the first network state. Specific weights the embodiments of the present application are not limited.

It can be understood that, in the embodiment of the present application, when the status parameter is greater than the first parameter threshold, it is characterized that the first network is overloaded, and the network transmission performance is degraded, so that the terminal determines that the network status of the first network is a congestion status. Correspondingly, when the state parameter is smaller than the second parameter threshold, the first network is characterized to be lighter in load and good in network transmission performance, so that the terminal determines that the network state of the first network is an idle state. Of course, the first parameter threshold is greater than or equal to the second parameter threshold, and the first parameter threshold and the second parameter threshold may be set according to actual requirements. The specific first parameter threshold and the second parameter threshold are not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

And S303, enabling the dual-connection mode under the condition of the single-connection mode when the network state is the congestion state and the duration time reaches a first duration threshold.

In the embodiment of the application, after determining the network state of the first network, when the network state is a congestion state and the duration reaches a first duration threshold, the terminal enables the dual connectivity mode in the single connectivity mode.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, when the terminal determines that the network state of the first network is the congestion state, the terminal continues to acquire the network parameter during the communication process using the first network within the first time threshold by using the time as the starting time, and determines the network state. That is to say, when the terminal determines that the network state of the first network is the idle state, it further determines whether the idle state is maintained to reach the first time threshold, so as to avoid the situation that the subsequent mode control operation is performed only according to the accidental network state at a certain moment to generate mismatching.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, when the network status is a congestion status and the terminal determines that the network status is not the congestion status at a certain time within the first time threshold, the timing measurement is terminated, and the network status may be determined according to the above procedure again.

Specifically, in an embodiment of the present application, the terminal enables a dual connectivity mode, including: and when receiving a second base station measurement request sent by the first base station, responding to the second base station measurement request and sending a second base station measurement result to the first base station.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, for the dual connectivity mode, the terminal establishes a connection with the first base station first, and then establishes a connection with the second base station. For example: and under the condition that the terminal is connected with the first base station, the first base station receives a second base station measurement result sent by the terminal and is used for starting a communication function corresponding to the second base station so as to establish the connection between the terminal and the second base station.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the application, for the EN-DC mode, the second base station measurement request may be a measurement configuration reported by an event (LTE to NR B1event) numbered B1 configured by the network side device based on LTE to NR, and the second base station measurement request is used to instruct the terminal to measure the second base station.

It can be understood that, in the embodiment of the present application, if the terminal is in the dual connectivity mode, the terminal only needs to be maintained in the dual connectivity mode if the first network is in the congestion state and the duration time reaches the first duration threshold, and there is no need to control the switching of the network access mode.

It can be understood that, in the embodiment of the present application, the terminal performs control of the network access mode based on the network state of the first network used by accessing the first base station, that is, the terminal may access the second base station and switch to the dual connectivity mode in the single connectivity mode and under the condition that the first network is congested, so as to ensure the communication quality of the terminal and reduce the power consumption of the terminal due to the network congestion.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, after the step S302, the following steps may also be included: and when the network state is an idle state and the duration reaches a second duration threshold, executing the dual-connection mode disabling operation. The terminal performs a dual connectivity mode disabling operation, including: performing a first dual connection mode disabling operation while in the single connection mode; in the case of being in the dual connection mode, a second dual connection mode disabling operation is performed.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the current network access mode of the terminal may be a single connection mode accessing only the first base station, or may be a dual connection mode accessing both the first base station and the second base station.

Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, when the terminal is in the single connection mode, the performing a first dual connection mode disabling operation includes: and when receiving a second base station measurement request sent by the first base station, not responding to the second base station measurement request to refuse to access the second base station.

Fig. 4 is a first schematic view of interaction between a terminal and a first base station according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 4, in the case that the terminal is in the single connection mode, that is, only the first base station is accessed, the first base station may send a second base station measurement request to the terminal to request the terminal to perform measurement on the second base station, and respond to the second base station measurement result. However, since the terminal has determined that the first network is in the idle state within the first time threshold, at this time, the second base station does not need to be accessed actually, the power consumption of the terminal can be reduced, and the terminal can continue or suspend the measurement of the second base station, but does not respond to the measurement request of the second base station, i.e., stops sending the measurement result of the second base station to the first base station. The first base station does not receive the measurement result of the second base station, namely, the situation that the first base station realizes the access of the terminal to the second base station according to the measurement result can be avoided, and the terminal is maintained in a single connection mode.

Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, when the terminal is in the dual connection mode, the performing a second dual connection mode disabling operation includes: sending failure information representing dual connection failure to a first base station, and receiving a release instruction sent by the first base station based on the failure information; and releasing the connection with the second base station in the dual-connection mode according to the release instruction. In addition, the terminal is equivalently in the single-connection mode after completing the second dual-connection mode disabling operation, and therefore, for the single-connection mode, when receiving the second base station measurement request transmitted by the first base station, does not respond to the second base station measurement request.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the failure information characterizing the dual connectivity failure may be information including a failure type as a connection timeout, and in addition, the information includes any second base station measurement result.

Fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of interaction between a terminal and a first base station according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 5, when the terminal is in the dual connectivity mode, that is, the terminal accesses the first base station and the second base station simultaneously, since the terminal has already determined that the first network is in the idle state and the duration time reaches the second duration threshold, at this time, the terminal does not need to access the second base station actually, power consumption of the terminal may be reduced, and the terminal may send failure information to the first base station, so that the connection with the second base station is released based on a release instruction returned by the first base station. The terminal continues or suspends the measurement of the second base station after switching to the single connection mode, but does not respond to the second base station measurement request. The first base station does not receive the measurement result of the second base station, namely, the situation that the first base station realizes the access of the terminal to the second base station according to the measurement result can be avoided, and the terminal is maintained in a single connection mode.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, after the step S302, after the terminal enables the dual connectivity mode, the following steps may also be performed: when the target time period is reached, the network state of the first network is determined again; based on the re-determined network status, either the dual connection mode is maintained or the single connection mode is enabled.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, after the dual connectivity mode is enabled, when the target time period arrives, the terminal may re-determine the network state of the first network, so as to perform control of the network access mode according to the re-determined network state. The specific implementation manner is the same as the above steps, and is not described herein again.

It can be understood that, in the embodiment of the present application, in the case that the terminal is in the single connection mode and the first network is idle, access to the second base station is avoided, so as to reduce power consumption of the terminal. In addition, under the condition that the terminal is in the dual-connection mode and the first network is idle, the connection with the second base station is actively disconnected, so that the power consumption of the terminal is reduced.

Fig. 6 is a schematic diagram of the terminal turning on the intelligence 5G, where turning on the intelligence 5G means optimizing the 5G function, that is, turning on the network mode optimizing function. Specifically, the terminal can adjust the terminal network access mode according to the actual situation when using the 5G function. As shown in fig. 6, the terminal turning on the smart 5G includes the following processes:

1. the terminal judges whether the operation of opening the intelligent 5G is received.

Here, the terminal displays a user interface including an option to start the smart 5G, and the user may trigger an operation to select the option corresponding to the smart 5G, thereby starting the smart 5G. Here, the operation by the user may be a touch operation, a key operation, a voice operation, a gesture operation, or the like.

2. And if the operation of opening the intelligent 5G is received, optimizing the 5G function.
