Referring to fig. 2A, fig. 2A is a schematic flowchart of an antenna sharing method provided in an embodiment of the present application, and is applied to an electronic device including a main antenna, a diversity antenna, a low power wide area network LPWAN module, and a cellular network module, where LPWAN functions and cellular network functions of the electronic device are both in an on state, and the method includes:

step 201: determine a first task for the cellular network module to perform, and determine a second task for the LPWAN module to perform.

In which the cellular network technology supported by the cellular network module operates within the scope of the license, ensuring its reliability through a relatively consistent and standardized infrastructure. They typically support greater data rates, shorter battery life, and more expensive (but rapidly becoming cheaper) hardware. Therefore, cellular based internet of things solutions are typically provided by larger operators and telecom operators who may obtain licensed spectrum and hardware designs. The licensed spectrum is expensive to obtain. LPWAN technology supported by some LPWAN modules may run on unlicensed spectrum (free to all users), which is easier for end users to deploy. These techniques possess cheaper hardware and allow a greater degree of customization by the end user.

Wherein the cellular network module comprises at least one of: a second Generation mobile phone communication technology (2G) module, a third Generation mobile phone communication technology (3rd-Generation and free mobile phone technology, 3G) module, (4th-Generation and free mobile phone technology, 4G) module, a Long Term Evolution (LTE) module, and a fifth Generation mobile phone communication technology (5th-Generation and free mobile phone technology, 5G) module.

The LPWAN module comprises a first LPWAN module operating in an unlicensed spectrum and a second LPWAN module operating in a licensed spectrum. Wherein the first LPWAN module comprises at least one of: a Long Range (Long Range, Lora) module, a Sigfox module, a Weightless module, a Random Phase Multiple Access (RPMA) module, a Qowisio module, an N-wave module, and a Telensa module, wherein the second LPWAN module includes at least one of: an (LTE-Machine to Machine, LTE-M) module, an extended Coverage GSM (EC-GSM) module, and a narrowband Internet of things NB-IoT module.

The first task comprises a network searching task, an audio data task and the like, and the second task comprises an LPWAN task. The LPWAN task refers to a task of transmitting data periodically or aperiodically, and the LPWAN task is, for example, a soil monitoring task, a climate monitoring task, a parking timing task, and the like.

Wherein the data transmission speed required by the data stream associated with the first task is higher than the data transmission speed required by the data stream associated with the second task. For example, the data transmission speed of the Lora module is 0.3-50 kbps, the data transmission speed of the Sigfox module is 10-1000 bps, the data transmission speed of the GPRS module in the 2G module is 85.6kbps, and the data transmission speed of the WCDMA module in the 3G module is 2.4 Mbps.

Step 202: and when the first task is a network searching task and the second task is an LPWAN task, determining a first signal quality when the cellular network module works.

In an implementation manner of the present application, the determining the first signal quality when the cellular network module operates includes: detecting whether a network analysis application is installed on the electronic equipment; if the network analysis application is installed, starting the network analysis application; determining a first signal quality at which the cellular network module is operating based on the network analysis application.

In an implementation of the present application, the first signal quality is determined based on a first signal quality parameter.

Wherein the first signal quality parameter comprises at least one of: received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI), Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR), Reference Signal Receiving Power (RSRP), Reference Signal Receiving Quality (RSRQ).

Step 203: when the first signal quality is greater than or equal to a first preset signal quality, the data stream associated with the first task is allocated to the main set antenna for processing, and the data stream associated with the second task is allocated to the diversity antenna for processing.

In an implementation manner of the present application, the method further includes:

when the first signal quality is smaller than the first preset signal quality, allocating the data stream associated with the first task to the main set antenna and the diversity antenna for processing, and allocating the data stream associated with the second task to the diversity antenna for processing.

For example, as shown in fig. 2B, fig. 2B is a schematic diagram of time slot allocation provided in the embodiment of the present application, where a working frequency point of a carrier includes eight time slots a to h, a data stream associated with a second task is allocated to a first time slot (time slots a to d), and a data stream associated with a first task is allocated to a first time slot (time slots e to h).

It can be seen that, in the embodiment of the present application, when the cellular network module needs to use the diversity antenna to assist in network search, the diversity antenna mainly uses the time slot to process the LPWAN task, extracts a part of the time slot to call the cellular module, and when the cellular network module performs network search, the LPWAN module is also ensured to process the LPWAN task.

In an implementation manner of the present application, in allocating the data stream associated with the first task to the main set antenna and the diversity antenna for processing, the method includes:

splitting the data stream associated with the first task into at least two sub-data streams;

and allocating the at least two sub-data streams to the main set antenna and the diversity antenna for processing.

In an implementation manner of the present application, the splitting the data stream associated with the first task into at least two sub-data streams includes:

splitting the first task-associated data stream into at least two sub-streams based on the first and second signal qualities.

In an implementation manner of the present application, the splitting the data stream associated with the first task into at least two sub-data streams based on the first signal quality and the second signal quality includes:

determining the shunt weights of the main set antenna and the diversity antenna according to the first transmission rate and the second transmission rate respectively;

splitting the data stream associated with the first task into at least two sub-data streams according to the determined two splitting weights.

The stream splitting weight is used to indicate the degree of importance in splitting the data stream.

Wherein the sum of the two splitting weights equals 1.

Further, a specific implementation manner of splitting the data stream associated with the first task into at least two sub-data streams according to the determined two splitting weights includes: the electronic equipment divides the data stream associated with the first task into at least two sub-data streams according to the number of the data streams associated with the first task and the determined two shunt weights.

For example, in the embodiment of the present application, the first transmission speed is 50kbps, the second transmission speed is 30kbps, the splitting weight of the main set antenna is determined to be 5/8, and the splitting weight of the diversity antenna is determined to be 3/8, and if the number of data streams associated with the first task is 8, the electronic device splits 5 data streams to the main set antenna and 3 data streams to the diversity antennas.

The data stream is a set of packets of the same data type, for example, a video-type packet belongs to one data stream, a picture-type packet belongs to one data stream, and the like.

It can be seen that, in the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device determines the splitting weights of the main set antenna and the diversity antenna based on the first data transmission speed when the cellular network module operates and the second data transmission speed when the LPWAN module operates, and finally splits the data based on the determined splitting weights and the number of data streams associated with the first task, so that when the first signal quality of the cellular network is poor, the splitting is performed reasonably for the main set antenna and the diversity antenna, and further, the stability of data transmission is improved.

In an implementation manner of the present application, the time slot determination parameter includes the at least two sub-data streams and the data stream associated with the LPWAN task, and the first time slot and the second time slot are determined based on the at least two sub-data streams and the data stream associated with the LPWAN task.

For example, if the number of data streams associated with the first task is 8, the electronic device may divide 5 data streams into the main set antenna and 3 data streams into the diversity antennas, and the number of data streams associated with the LPWAN task is 5, it may be determined that the first time slot includes time slots a-e and the second time slot includes time slots f-h.

For another example, if the electronic device distributes the 5G data stream associated with the first task to the diversity antennas, and the data stream associated with the LPWAN task is 3G, it may be determined that the first time slot includes time slots a to c, and the second time slot includes time slots d to h.

In an implementation manner of the present application, the time slot determination parameter includes the at least two sub-data streams and a data stream associated with the LPWAN task, and the first time slot and the second time slot are determined based on the first signal quality and the second signal quality.

For example, assuming that the first signal quality is worse than the second signal quality, the electronic device may divide the 5G data stream associated with the first task to the diversity antennas, and the data stream associated with the LPWAN task is 3G, it may be determined that the first time slot includes time slots a and b, and the second time slot includes time slots c-h.

when the first task is a task including audio data and the second task is the LPWAN task, allocating the data stream associated with the first task to the main set antenna and the diversity antenna for processing, and allocating the data stream associated with the second task to the diversity antenna for processing.

For example, as shown in fig. 2C, fig. 2C is a schematic diagram of time slot allocation provided in the embodiment of the present application, where a working frequency point of a carrier includes eight time slots a to h, a data stream associated with a first task is allocated to a third time slot (time slots a to d), and a data stream associated with a second task is allocated to a fourth time slot (time slots e to h).

It should be noted that the determination method of the third time slot and the fourth time slot is the same as the determination method of the first time slot and the second time slot, and is not illustrated here.

It can be seen that, in the embodiment of the present application, when the cellular network module needs to use the diversity antenna to assist in processing the task including the audio data, the diversity antenna mainly uses the time slot for the task including the audio data, and extracts a part of the time slot to be called by the LPWAN module, so that the working of the LPWAN module can be maintained without interruption while the cellular network module is ensured to work normally.

Referring to fig. 3, in accordance with the embodiment shown in fig. 2A, fig. 3 is a schematic flowchart of an antenna sharing method provided in an embodiment of the present application, and is applied to an electronic device including a main set antenna, a diversity antenna, a low power consumption wide area network LPWAN module, and a cellular network module, where an LPWAN function and a cellular network function of the electronic device are both in an on state, where the method includes:

step 301: determine a first task for the cellular network module to perform, and determine a second task for the LPWAN module to perform.

Step 302: and when the first task is a network searching task and the second task is an LPWAN task, determining a first signal quality when the cellular network module works.

Step 303: when the first signal quality is greater than or equal to a first preset signal quality, the data stream associated with the first task is allocated to the main set antenna for processing, and the data stream associated with the second task is allocated to the diversity antenna for processing.

Step 304: splitting the data stream associated with the first task into at least two sub-data streams when the first signal quality is less than the first preset signal quality.

Step 305: allocating the at least two sub-data streams to the main set antenna and the diversity antenna for processing, and allocating the data stream associated with the second task to the diversity antenna for processing, where a working frequency point of the diversity antenna includes a first time slot and a second time slot, the first time slot is used for the diversity antenna to process the data stream associated with the second task, the second time slot is used for the diversity antenna to process the data stream associated with the first task, the first time slot is earlier than the second time slot, the first time slot and the second time slot are determined based on a time slot determination parameter, and the time slot determination parameter includes at least one of: the at least two sub-streams, the data stream associated with the LPWAN task, the first signal quality, and a second signal quality when the LPWAN is operating.

Step 306: when the first task is a task including audio data and the second task is the LPWAN task, allocating the data stream associated with the first task to the main set antenna and the diversity antenna for processing, and allocating the data stream associated with the second task to the diversity antenna for processing, where the working frequency point of the diversity antenna includes a third time slot and a fourth time slot, the third time slot is used for the diversity antenna to process the data stream associated with the first task, the fourth time slot is used for the diversity antenna to process the data stream associated with the second task, and the third time slot is earlier than the fourth time slot.
