Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, not all, embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

Example one

Referring to fig. 1, a flowchart of a communication method provided in a first embodiment of the present invention is shown, where the method is applied to a mobile terminal, and the mobile terminal may include: at least two communication radio frequency links, e.g., a first communication radio frequency link and a second communication radio frequency link. Specifically, the mobile terminal may communicate with the base station through at least one of the at least two communication radio frequency links. The at least two communication radio frequency links may be the same generation of mobile communication standard, or may be different generations of mobile communication standards. In the embodiment of the present invention, this is not particularly limited.

For example, the first communication rf link and the second communication rf link may be both 4G (4th-Generation, fourth Generation mobile communication standard) communication rf links, or the first communication rf link and the second communication rf link may be both 5G (5th-Generation, fifth Generation mobile communication standard) communication rf links, or the first communication rf link may be a 3G (3rd-Generation, third Generation mobile communication standard) communication rf link and the second communication rf link may be a 4G communication rf link.

Referring to fig. 1, the method may specifically include the following steps:

step 101, obtaining communication control parameters of the mobile terminal.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the communication control parameter of the mobile terminal may be a parameter related to a requirement of the mobile terminal on the communication quality or a parameter related to the remaining power of the mobile terminal.

The communication control parameter may be for the mobile terminal as a whole, or the communication control parameter may be for each communication radio frequency link individually. In the embodiment of the present invention, this is not particularly limited. The mobile terminal may obtain its communication control parameters.

102, respectively determining a silent time corresponding to each communication radio frequency link according to the communication control parameters under the condition that the at least two communication radio frequency links are respectively accessed to corresponding networks; the silence time is less than or equal to the maximum time for the communication radio frequency link to stop communication and not drop the network.

In the embodiment of the invention, at least two communication radio frequency links are respectively accessed to the corresponding network, identity authentication and the like can be completed for each communication radio frequency link and the corresponding base station, and data can be received or sent. In the embodiment of the present invention, this is not particularly limited.

In the embodiment of the present invention, if the at least two communication rf links are in the same generation of mobile communication standard, the at least two communication rf links may access the same network. If the at least two communication rf links are different generation mobile communication standards, the at least two communication rf links may be accessed to different networks. For example, if the at least two communication rf links are both 4G communication rf links, the at least two communication rf links may access the same 4G network. Or, if the at least two communication radio frequency links are a 5G communication radio frequency link and a 3G communication radio frequency link, the 5G communication radio frequency link may be accessed to a 5G network, and the 3G communication radio frequency link may be accessed to a 3G network.

In the embodiment of the invention, the communication radio frequency link can stop communication in the silent time. Specifically, the communication rf link may stop receiving or transmitting data with the connected base station during the silent period.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the maximum time during which the communication radio frequency link stops communication and does not drop the network may be the maximum time during which the communication radio frequency link does not receive or transmit data with the connected base station and does not disconnect with the connected base station. The maximum time that the communication radio frequency link stops communication and does not drop the network may be determined with the communication radio frequency link itself or a base station connected thereto, and this is not particularly limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

For example, the maximum time that the communication rf link a1 does not receive or transmit data with the connected base station B1 and does not disconnect from the connected base station B1 is 0.8 seconds, then the maximum time that the communication rf link a1 stops communicating and does not drop the network may be 0.8 seconds. The maximum time that the communication rf link a2 does not receive or transmit data with the connected base station B2 and does not disconnect with the connected base station B2 is 0.9 seconds, then the maximum time that the communication rf link a2 stops communication and does not drop the network may be 0.9 seconds.

In the embodiment of the present invention, under the condition that the at least two communication radio frequency links are respectively accessed to the corresponding networks, the silent time corresponding to each communication radio frequency link can be respectively determined according to the communication control parameters; the silence time is less than or equal to the maximum time that the communication radio frequency link stops communication and does not drop the network. That is, it is guaranteed that the mobile terminal stops communication in the silent period and does not drop the network.

For example, for the above example, if the maximum time that the communication rf link a1 stops communication and does not drop the network may be 0.8 second, then according to the communication control parameters, it is determined that the silence time corresponding to the communication rf link a1 may be less than or equal to 0.8 second, and for example, 0.6 second, even if the communication rf link a1 stops communication at the silence time, since it is less than or equal to the maximum time that the communication rf link a1 stops communication and does not drop the network, the communication rf link a1 does not drop the network, and the network connection with the base station B1 can still be maintained.

In this embodiment of the present invention, optionally, the mobile terminal further includes: a battery; the communication control parameters include: a remaining capacity of the battery; the determining the silent time corresponding to each communication radio frequency link according to the communication control parameters includes: and under the condition that the residual electric quantity is less than or equal to the preset electric quantity, determining the maximum time for stopping communication and not dropping the network of the communication radio frequency link as the silent time of the communication radio frequency link.

Specifically, the battery may be a chemical battery or the like, such as a lithium battery. In the embodiment of the present invention, this is not particularly limited. The preset electric quantity can be set according to actual needs, for example, the preset electric quantity can be corresponding electric quantity which may cause shutdown of the mobile terminal and the like for normal communication of a communication radio frequency link. For example, the predetermined amount of power may be 20% of power. When the remaining capacity of the battery is less than or equal to the preset capacity, for example, when the remaining capacity of the battery is less than or equal to 20% of the capacity, the maximum time during which the communication radio frequency link stops communication and does not drop the network may be determined as the silent time of the communication radio frequency link. That is to say, under the condition that the battery power is low, the silent time of the communication radio frequency link is set to be the maximum, and the maximum time that the communication radio frequency link stops communication and does not drop the network is set to save power, so that shutdown and the like possibly caused by normal communication of the communication radio frequency link under the condition that the battery power is low are avoided. Here, the silent time of all communication radio frequency links of the mobile terminal can be set to be maximum to save power to the maximum extent. Or, the silence time of some communication radio frequency links is set to be the maximum, and other communication links are not processed, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

For example, if the mobile terminal includes the communication rf link a1 and the communication rf link a2, the maximum time for the communication rf link a1 to stop communication and not drop network may be 0.8 seconds, and the maximum time for the communication rf link a2 to stop communication and not drop network may be 0.9 seconds. When the remaining capacity of the battery is less than or equal to the preset capacity, it is determined that the silent time corresponding to the communication rf link a1 may be 0.8 seconds, and it is determined that the silent time corresponding to the communication rf link a2 may be 0.9 seconds. Alternatively, the silent time corresponding to the communication radio frequency link a1 may be determined to be 0.8 seconds, and the silent time corresponding to the communication radio frequency link a2 is not particularly limited.

Step 103, controlling each communication radio frequency link to stop communication in the corresponding silent time, and resuming communication at other time except the silent time.

In the embodiment of the invention, the communication radio frequency link is controlled to stop communication in the corresponding silent time, and the communication is recovered at other time except the silent time. That is to say, the corresponding communication radio frequency link stops communication in the silent time, and the corresponding communication radio frequency link resumes communication in time at other time except the silent time, thereby ensuring that the communication radio frequency link does not drop the network. Meanwhile, because the communication radio frequency link stops communicating in the silent time, the power consumption of the communication radio frequency link in the silent time is extremely small or even 0, and the power consumption of the communication radio frequency link is greatly reduced.

In the embodiment of the invention, each communication radio frequency link is respectively controlled to stop communication in the corresponding silent time, and the communication is recovered at other time except the silent time, so that each communication radio frequency link is prevented from being disconnected, and the power consumption of each communication radio frequency link is smaller on the basis of meeting the communication requirement. Compared with the prior art, the power consumption is greatly reduced when each communication radio frequency link is continuously communicated without a silent time.

For example, for the above example, according to the communication control parameters, if the silence time corresponding to the communication radio frequency link a1 is determined to be 0.6 seconds, and if the silence time corresponding to the communication radio frequency link a2 is determined to be 0.3 seconds, the communication radio frequency link a1 is controlled to stop communication within the silence time of 0.6 seconds, for example, to stop receiving or transmitting data with the connected base station B1. The radio frequency link A2 is controlled to stop communication within 0.3 second of the silence time, such as stopping receiving or transmitting data with the connected base station B2. At times other than the silence period of 0.6 seconds, e.g., before or after the silence period, the communications radio link a1 resumes communications, e.g., receiving or transmitting data, with the connected base station B1. At times other than the silence time of 0.3 seconds, the communications radio link a2 resumes communications, such as receiving or transmitting data with the connected base station B2. Not only ensuring that the communication radio frequency links A1 and A2 can not be disconnected. Meanwhile, as the communication radio frequency links A1 and A2 stop communicating in the silent time, the power consumption of the communication radio frequency links A1 and A2 in the silent time is extremely small or even 0, and the power consumption is greatly reduced.

In this embodiment of the present invention, optionally, referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a method for determining a quiet time and communicating according to a first embodiment of the present invention, where before determining the quiet time corresponding to each of the communication radio frequency links according to the communication control parameter, the method may further include:

step S1, summing the communication time required by the single transceiving operation of the communication radio frequency link and the maximum time for the communication radio frequency link to stop communication and not drop network, to obtain a work cycle corresponding to the communication radio frequency link.

The determining the silent time corresponding to each communication radio frequency link according to the communication control parameters includes: step S2, determining a silent time and a corresponding transceiving time of the communication rf link in the working period based on the communication control parameter; the transceiving time is more than or equal to the communication time required by a single transceiving operation of the communication radio frequency link; the silence time is less than or equal to the maximum time for the communication radio frequency link to stop communication and not drop the network; the duty cycle is equal to a sum of the transceiving time and the silence time.

The respectively controlling each communication radio frequency link to stop communication in the corresponding silent time and resume communication at other time except the silent time includes: step S3, in the corresponding working cycle, respectively controlling each communication radio frequency link to stop communication in the corresponding silent time, and to resume communication in the corresponding transceiving time.

Specifically, referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a schematic diagram illustrating a division of a duty cycle according to a first embodiment of the present invention. T1 in fig. 3 may be the communication time required for a single transceiving operation of a communication rf link, that is, the communication time required for the communication rf link to receive data once and transmit data once. The receiving data and the sending data may be performed simultaneously or in time-sharing, which is not particularly limited in the embodiment of the present invention. If the communication link receives data and transmits data in time intervals, the time required for receiving data once is t11, and the time required for transmitting data once is t12, then t1 is t11+ t 12. The maximum time that the communication rf link stops communicating without dropping the network may be t 2. The working period T1 corresponding to the communication radio frequency link is T1+ T2. T3 in fig. 3 may be a communication time required for a single transceiving operation of another communication rf link, and the maximum time for which the other communication rf link stops communicating and does not drop the network may be t 4. The working period T2 corresponding to the other communication radio frequency link is T3+ T4.

The silent time and the transceiving time corresponding to the communication radio frequency link in the working period can be determined according to the communication control parameters. The sum of the transceiving time and the quiet time is equal to the duty cycle. The silent time is less than or equal to the maximum time that the communication radio frequency link stops communication and does not drop the network, and the transceiving time is greater than or equal to the communication time required by the single transceiving operation of the communication radio frequency link, so that the communication radio frequency link does not drop the network. That is to say, the corresponding silent time and the corresponding transceiving time in each working period of the communication radio frequency link are divided according to the communication control parameters, and further, on the basis of meeting the communication requirement, more electricity is saved. Meanwhile, by dividing the working period, the corresponding silent time and the transceiving time are respectively determined in each working period, so that the silent time is determined more carefully and accurately.

For example, if the duty cycle of the communication rf link a1 is divided into the upper diagram in fig. 3, and the duty cycle of the communication rf link a2 is divided into the lower diagram in fig. 3. And if so, the communication control parameter is the communication data demand quantity corresponding to each communication radio frequency link by the mobile terminal. At a certain time, the communication data demand of the mobile terminal to the communication rf link a1 is 70% of the full load demand, and if it is determined that the silent time corresponding to the working period corresponding to the communication rf link a1 at that time may be 0.2 × T2, and the transceiving time may be T1-0.2 × T2, or the transceiving time may be T1+ (T2-0.2 × T2). The sum of the quiet time 0.2 xt 2 and the transceive time (T1-0.2 xt 2) is equal to the duty cycle T1. If the communication data demand of the mobile terminal to the communication rf link a2 at this time is 0, if it is determined that the silent time corresponding to the working period corresponding to the communication rf link a2 at this time may be T4, and the corresponding transceiving time may be T2-T4, or the transceiving time may be T3.

And in the corresponding working period, respectively controlling each communication radio frequency link to stop communication in the corresponding silent time and to recover communication in the corresponding transceiving time. Namely, according to the communication requirement of the mobile terminal to each communication radio frequency link, the corresponding silent time and the corresponding transceiving time in the working period of each communication radio frequency link are respectively determined, and in the corresponding working period, each communication radio frequency link respectively saves power according to the communication requirement of the mobile terminal to the communication radio frequency link.

For example, for the above example, in the period corresponding to the time, the communication rf link a1 is controlled to normally communicate during the transceiving time of t1+ (t2-0.2 × t2), and to stop communicating during the silent time of 0.2 × t 2. In the period corresponding to the moment, the communication radio frequency link A2 is controlled to normally communicate in the transceiving time of t3, and the communication is stopped in the silent time of t 4. To meet communication requirements and save power.

Example two

Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a flowchart illustrating a communication method provided in a second embodiment of the present invention, where the method is applied to a mobile terminal, and the mobile terminal may include: at least two communication radio frequency links. For the specific description of the mobile terminal, reference may be made to the related description of the above embodiment, and details are not repeated here to avoid redundancy. It should be noted that, optionally, the at least two communication radio frequency links include: a 4G communication radio frequency link and a 5G communication radio frequency link. The 4G communication radio frequency link can receive or send data through a 4G network, and the 5G communication radio frequency link can receive or send data through a 5G network. The 5G network has the characteristics of large bandwidth and low time delay, so that the mobile terminal can provide timely and reliable communication service. The method may specifically comprise the steps of:

step 201, obtaining communication control parameters of the mobile terminal.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the step 201 may refer to the related description of the step 101, and is not described herein again to avoid repetition.

Step 202, in a case that the at least two communication radio frequency links access to corresponding networks respectively, the communication control parameters include: a state control parameter; and under the condition that the state control parameter indicates a standby state, determining the maximum time for which the communication radio frequency link stops communication and does not drop the network as the silent time of the communication radio frequency link.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the communication control parameters may include: a state control parameter, which may indicate to the mobile terminal that: a standby state or an active state. The active state may be a state other than a standby state when the mobile terminal is powered on and networked. Or, the activation state may be a state in which the demand for communication data is greater than 0 when the mobile terminal is powered on and networked. In the embodiment of the present invention, this is not particularly limited.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the required amount of the communication data by the mobile terminal in the standby state may be generally 0, and therefore, the maximum time during which each communication radio frequency link stops communication and does not drop the network may be determined as the silent time of each communication radio frequency link. That is, under the condition that the mobile terminal has no communication data demand, the silent time of each communication radio frequency link is set to be maximum so as to save power maximally.

For example, if the mobile terminal includes: a communication radio frequency link a1 and a communication radio frequency link a 2. If the mobile terminal is in the standby state at the current moment, the silence time of the communication rf link a1 and the communication rf link a2 may be determined to be the maximum.

Step 203, respectively determining the silent time corresponding to each communication radio frequency link according to the communication data demand amount corresponding to each communication radio frequency link by the mobile terminal under the condition that the state control parameter indicates the activation state; the silence time is less than or equal to the maximum time for the communication radio frequency link to stop communication and not drop the network.

Under the condition that the state control parameter of the mobile terminal indicates the activated state, namely, under the condition that the communication data demand of the mobile terminal is greater than 0, the communication data demand of the mobile terminal to each communication radio frequency link is obtained, and the silent time corresponding to each communication radio frequency link is respectively determined according to the communication data demand of the mobile terminal to each communication radio frequency link, so that the communication demand of the mobile terminal to each communication radio frequency link is met, and the purpose of saving electricity is achieved.

Specifically, if the mobile terminal has a large demand for communication data corresponding to a certain communication radio frequency link, the silent time corresponding to the communication radio frequency link may be set to be shorter. If the mobile terminal has a small demand for communication data corresponding to a certain communication radio frequency link, the silent time corresponding to the communication radio frequency link can be set to be longer.

In the embodiment of the present invention, referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 shows a flowchart for determining a silence time according to a communication data demand provided in the second embodiment of the present invention. Optionally, the determining, according to the communication data demand of the mobile terminal for each communication radio frequency link, the quiet time corresponding to each communication radio frequency link respectively may include:

step 2031, determining a target silent time as a silent time of the communication radio frequency link when a communication data demand amount corresponding to the target communication radio frequency link is greater than or equal to a first preset communication data demand amount and less than a second preset communication data demand amount; the target silent time is greater than 0 and less than the maximum time for the communication radio frequency link to stop communication and not drop the network.

Step 2032, when the communication data demand amount corresponding to the target communication radio frequency link is greater than or equal to the second preset communication data demand amount, determining the silent time of the communication radio frequency link to be 0. Wherein the target communication radio frequency link is any one of the at least two communication radio frequency links.

Specifically, step 2031 and step 2032 may be alternatively performed according to a communication data demand amount corresponding to the target communication radio frequency link. The target communication rf link may be any one of the at least two communication rf links. This is not particularly limited in the embodiments of the present invention. The first preset communication data demand and the second preset communication data demand can be set according to actual needs, and the second preset communication data demand is larger than the first preset communication data demand. Under the condition that the communication data demand corresponding to a certain communication radio frequency link is greater than or equal to a first preset communication data demand and smaller than a second preset communication data demand, the mobile terminal has a certain communication data demand on the communication radio frequency link, but the communication data demand is not particularly large, and the target silent time which is greater than 0 and smaller than the maximum time during which the communication radio frequency link stops communication and does not drop the network is determined as the silent time of the communication radio frequency link. If the communication data demand of the mobile terminal to the communication radio frequency link is particularly large, the communication radio frequency link has no silent time and is continuously and normally communicated.

For example, if the communication data demand of the mobile terminal to the communication rf link a1 is 70% of the full demand at a certain time, the communication data demand of the mobile terminal to the communication rf link a2 is full. Then the determined target silent time of the communication radio frequency link a1 is greater than 0 and less than the maximum time that the communication radio frequency link a1 stops communication and does not drop the network. That is, the communication rf link a1 communicates and stops the communication interval. The determined silent time of the communication radio frequency link A2 can be 0, so that the communication radio frequency link A2 can continuously work to meet the communication data demand of the mobile terminal to the communication radio frequency link A2.

In this embodiment of the present invention, optionally, when the communication data demand corresponding to the target communication radio frequency link is greater than or equal to a first preset communication data demand and is less than a second preset communication data demand, before determining the target silent time as the silent time of the communication radio frequency link, the method may further include: respectively establishing a corresponding relation between the communication data demand amount and the silent time corresponding to each communication radio frequency link; and determining target silent time corresponding to the communication data demand corresponding to the target communication radio frequency link based on the corresponding relation.

Specifically, after the communication data demand amount corresponding to each communication radio frequency link is obtained, the target silent time corresponding to the communication data demand amount corresponding to each communication radio frequency link can be determined based on the corresponding relationship, the corresponding relationship can be determined according to long-term experience, the corresponding relationship can achieve the best balance between power saving and meeting the communication requirement of the mobile terminal, and the target silent time determined by the corresponding relationship is more accurate.

In the embodiment of the present invention, optionally, step 202 or step 203 may also be performed on the basis of dividing the duty cycle. That is, before step 202 or step 203, the method may also include: and summing the communication time required by the single transceiving operation of the communication radio frequency link and the maximum time for stopping communication and not dropping the network of the communication radio frequency link to obtain the working period corresponding to the communication radio frequency link. The determining, according to the communication data demand amount corresponding to each communication radio frequency link by the mobile terminal, the quiet time corresponding to each communication radio frequency link may include: determining corresponding silent time and corresponding transceiving time of the communication radio frequency link in the working period based on the communication data demand amount corresponding to each communication radio frequency link by the mobile terminal; the transceiving time is more than or equal to the communication time required by a single transceiving operation of the communication radio frequency link; the respectively controlling each communication radio frequency link to stop communication in the corresponding silent time and resume communication at other time except the silent time includes: and in the corresponding working period, respectively controlling each communication radio frequency link to stop communication in the corresponding silent time and resume communication in the corresponding transceiving time so as to more accurately determine the silent time. Reference may be made to the description in the first embodiment, and details are not repeated herein in order to avoid redundancy, and no specific limitation is made in this embodiment of the present invention.

And 204, respectively controlling each communication radio frequency link to stop communication in the corresponding silent time, and resuming communication at other time except the silent time.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the step 204 may refer to the related description of the step 103, and is not described herein again to avoid repetition.

It is also noted that, for simplicity of explanation, the method embodiments are described as a series of acts or combination of acts, but those skilled in the art will recognize that the embodiments are not limited by the described order of acts, as some steps may occur in other orders or concurrently depending on the embodiments. Further, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the embodiments described in the specification are presently preferred and that no particular act is required to implement the embodiments of the application.
