Description

Transmission method, electronic device and storage medium

Technical Field

The present application relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a transmission method, an electronic device, and a storage medium.

Background

With the wide popularization of various intelligent devices and the rapid development of various internet services, the demand of users for accessing the internet at a high speed anytime anywhere is more and more strong. Particularly in the field of smart homes, with the maturity of media technologies such as 8K, interconnection between home broadband devices (such as large screens, cameras, Augmented Reality (AR) devices, Virtual Reality (VR) devices, mobile phones, gateways, and the like) is one of important scenes for future communication, and a required transmission rate can reach tens of Gbps (i.e., exchange bandwidth), so a high-speed transmission technology is required.

At present, the wired transmission technology in the transmission technology mainly includes a Power Line Communication (PLC) technology, and the wireless transmission technology mainly includes a fifth Generation (5rd-Generation, 5G) mobile communication technology, a wireless fidelity (WiFi) technology, bluetooth, and the like. Taking LC technology and WiFi technology as examples, theoretically, the transmission rate of PLC technology can reach 1Gbps, and the transmission rate of WiFi technology can reach 9.6 Gbps. But the transmission rate for PLC technology and that for WiFi technology are in fact much lower than the theoretical transmission rate. That is, the transmission rate of the current wired or wireless transmission technology may still not meet the high-speed transmission requirement of the smart device.

Disclosure of Invention

The application provides a transmission method, an electronic device and a storage medium, which are used for improving the transmission efficiency of data.

In a first aspect, the present application provides a transmission method, where the method includes that a first electronic device starts at least two communication modules supported by the first electronic device when transmitting service data to be transmitted, and transmits sub-data streams to a second electronic device based on the started at least two communication modules, respectively; the at least two communication modules are at least two of N communication modules supported by the first electronic device and the second electronic device, where N is an integer greater than 1, the sub-data streams transmitted by each of the at least two communication modules are sub-data streams obtained by dividing the service data to be transmitted, and the sum of transmission rates of the sub-data streams transmitted by each of the at least two communication modules is greater than or equal to the transmission rate of the service data to be transmitted.

Based on the scheme, the first electronic device can adaptively select at least two communication modules for transmitting the service data in parallel according to the supported communication modules, so that the transmission rate can be increased.

In a possible implementation manner, the first electronic device may determine a transmission rate of service data to be transmitted and transmission rates corresponding to the N communication modules respectively at present, and determine the at least two communication modules according to the transmission rate of the service data to be transmitted and the transmission rates corresponding to the N communication modules respectively at present.

At least two communication modules may be communication modules using the same transmission technology, or communication modules using different transmission technologies. The following two cases can be considered in detail.

In case 1, the at least two communication modules are communication modules using the same transmission technology. The first electronic device can transmit the sub-data streams to the second electronic device through a network protocol (IP) transmission mode based on the started at least two communication modules.

Case 2, the at least two communication modules are communication modules that employ different transmission technologies. The first electronic device may transmit the sub-data streams to the second electronic device through an application layer protocol or a transport layer protocol, respectively, based on the at least two started communication modules.

In a possible implementation manner, the first electronic device may restart the at least two communication modules when it is determined that the capability information of the second electronic device includes information of the at least two communication modules, and the first electronic device supports the at least two communication modules, and the service data to be transmitted satisfies a preset condition. The preset conditions include that the transmission rate of the service data to be transmitted is greater than the current corresponding transmission rate of any communication module supported by the first electronic device, and the time delay requirement of the service data to be transmitted is higher than any one or more of first preset thresholds.

Illustratively, the first electronic device may acquire the capability information of the second electronic device based on the following manner one and manner two. First, the first electronic device actively queries (e.g., periodically queries) the second electronic device for capability information of the second electronic device. In a second mode, the first electronic device receives the capability information of the second electronic device actively reported (periodically reported or timely reported after the capability information changes) by the second electronic device.

In a possible implementation manner, before starting the at least two communication modules supported by the first electronic device, the first electronic device may further output a prompt message, where the prompt message is used to prompt information of the at least two communication modules that need to be started. Further, optionally, after receiving an instruction for instructing to start the at least two communication modules, the first electronic device starts the at least two communication modules. Here, the prompt message may be a voice prompt message or a text prompt message. In this way, after the first electronic device determines that at least two communication modules need to be activated, it can be selected by the user whether to activate the operation.

When the prompt message is in a text mode, the first electronic device can display a first user interface in a display screen, and the first user interface comprises starting operation items of the at least two communication modules. Further, after the user clicks a start operation item in the first interface, the first electronic device may detect that the start operation item is triggered.

In this application, the first electronic device may further set an open/close control in the system setting interface, where the open/close control allows at least two communication modules to transmit service data in parallel when being started, and only one communication module is allowed to transmit service data when being closed. Therefore, the user can flexibly select whether to adopt at least two communication modules to transmit the service data in parallel according to the actual use condition.

In a second aspect, the present application provides a transmission method, where the method includes determining, by a third electronic device, a target transmission mode according to a service characteristic corresponding to current service data to be transmitted, where the service characteristic includes a bandwidth requirement and/or a delay requirement; and the third electronic equipment transmits the current service data to be transmitted to at least two fourth electronic equipment in the target transmission mode.

Based on the scheme, the third electronic equipment can improve the transmission rate on the basis of ensuring the service experience through a proper transmission mode according to the service characteristics.

Specifically, the third electronic device determines the target transmission mode according to the service characteristic corresponding to the current service data to be transmitted according to the following three possible scenarios.

In a first scenario, if the third electronic device determines that the bandwidth requirement corresponding to the current service data to be transmitted is fixed, it is determined that the target transmission mode is a virtual MIMO transmission mode.

And in a second scenario, if the third electronic device determines that the bandwidth requirement corresponding to the current service data to be transmitted is not fixed and the time delay requirement is lower than a second preset threshold, it is determined that the target transmission mode is an MU-MIMO transmission mode.

And in a third scenario, if the third electronic device determines that the bandwidth requirement corresponding to the current service data to be transmitted is not fixed and the delay requirement is higher than a third preset threshold, determining that the target transmission mode is a TXOP transmission mode.

In a third aspect, the present application provides an electronic device comprising one or more processors, one or more memories, and one or more computer programs, wherein the one or more computer programs are stored in the memories, the one or more computer programs comprising instructions, which when executed by the electronic device, cause the electronic device to perform the method of the first aspect or any possible implementation of the first aspect, or cause the electronic device to perform the method of the second aspect or any possible implementation of the second aspect.

These modules/units may be implemented by hardware, or by hardware executing corresponding software.

Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the embodiments of the present application will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Hereinafter, some terms in the embodiments of the present application are explained to facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art.

1) Transmission technologies, also referred to as transmission mechanisms, include wired transmission technologies and wireless transmission technologies. The wired transmission technology mainly includes a PLC technology (the transmission technology of the PLC communication module is a PLC technology). Among them, the PLC technology is a communication method for transmitting data and media signals using a power line. The technology is that high frequency carrying information is loaded on current, then the high frequency is separated from the current by an adapter which transmits and receives information by a wire and then is transmitted to a computer or a telephone to realize information transmission. From the point of occupying frequency bandwidth requirement, the method can be divided into narrow-band PLC and wide-band PLC. The wireless transmission technology mainly includes a 5G mobile communication technology (the transmission technology of the 5G communication module is the 5G mobile communication technology), a 4G mobile communication technology and the transmission technology of the 4G communication module is the 4G mobile communication technology), a WiFi technology (the transmission technology of the WiFi communication module is the WiFi technology), a bluetooth technology (the transmission technology of the bluetooth communication module is the bluetooth technology), and the like. Currently, the protocol specifications of PLC technology include P1901 by IEEE and G.hn by ITU-T. The P1901 used frequency band of IEEE is 0-100 MHz, the G.hn used frequency band of ITU-T can be as high as 200MHz, a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology and a high-order modulation technology (4096 QAM) are adopted, and the transmission rate theoretically can reach 1 Gbps. The protocol specification of the WiFi technology is IEEE 802.11, the highest high-order modulation technology can be 1024QAM and 8 space streams at the bandwidth of 160M, and the theoretical transmission rate can reach 9.6 Gbps. The protocol specification of the Bluetooth technology is an IEEE802.15 protocol, and the used frequency band is an ISM (industrial, scientific and medical) band of 2.4-2.485 GHz. The protocol specification of the 5G mobile communication technology is nr (new radio).

2) The parallel transmission refers to that the same service data is simultaneously transmitted in parallel in a plurality of communication modules in the application embodiment. It is common to transmit several binary codes constituting one character simultaneously on several parallel channels, respectively. Parallel transmission requires multiple physical channels. Common parallel transmission includes link layer parallel transmission, application layer parallel transmission, network layer parallel transmission, transport layer parallel transmission, and the like. Wherein, link layer parallel transmission refers to: a universal link layer is introduced in the 2.5 layer of the wireless communication module, the universal link layer can uniformly process data of the link layer of each wireless access technology and can provide a uniform interface for an upper layer (such as an IP layer), so that the difference of each wireless access technology of a lower layer (such as a physical layer) can be shielded. At the same time, the generic link layer may map data flows from higher layers (e.g., the IP layer) into the appropriate radio access technology. Network layer parallel transmission (also referred to as an Internet Protocol (IP) layer) refers to: IP packets from different radio access technologies are collected by the network proxy or distributed to the various communication modules according to the IP addresses of the IP packets. Transport layer parallel transport refers to: a multi-path Transmission Control Protocol (MP-TCP) layer supporting parallel Transmission is added between the application layer and the existing Transmission layer, and the original TCP data stream is divided into a plurality of sub-streams, i.e. into a plurality of conventional TCP connections. After receiving the data of the application layer, the MP-TCP performs necessary processing, such as segmentation and reassembly, and then distributes the data to different sub-streams, i.e. implements data distribution of parallel transmission. In turn, the TCP sub-stream submits the data sent by the sending end from different interfaces to the MP-TCP layer, and the MP-TCP reassembles the data and submits the reassembled data to the application layer, thereby realizing the data integration of parallel transmission. The application layer parallel transmission means that: the data is split at the application layer and then transmitted using multiple parallel transport layer links.

3) Transmission opportunity (TXOP) refers to a period of time. During this time period, a node has access to the wireless medium and the access time cannot exceed the TXOP. That is, a TXOP is a time interval during which one electronic device is allowed to transmit several frames. The TXOP transmission mode is that one TXOP is divided into a plurality of slots, each slot is arranged for an electronic device to transmit a frame with a corresponding priority, and when the electronic device does not transmit a frame with a corresponding priority, the slot is ignored.

4) The multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology is to use multiple transmitting antennas and multiple receiving antennas at a transmitting end and a receiving end, respectively, so that signals are transmitted and received through the multiple antennas at the transmitting end and the receiving end, thereby improving communication quality. The multi-antenna multi-transmission multi-receiving system can fully utilize space resources, realize multi-transmission and multi-reception through a plurality of antennas, and improve the system channel capacity by times under the condition of not increasing frequency spectrum resources and antenna transmitting power.

5) Multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) techniques include uplink MU-MIMO and downlink MU-MIMO. The uplink MU-MIMO refers to that different users use the same time-frequency resource for uplink transmission (single-antenna transmission), and from the receiving end, these data streams may be regarded as different antennas from one user terminal, thereby forming a virtual MIMO system, i.e., uplink MU-MIMO. Transmitting a plurality of data streams to different user terminals, wherein the plurality of user terminals and the base station form a downlink MU-MIMO system; the downlink MU-MIMO can separate the data streams transmitted to different users at the receiving end by a method of eliminating/nulling; the downlink MU-MIMO can also separate the data streams of different users in advance by adopting a beamforming method at the transmitting end, thereby simplifying the operation of the receiving end.

6) The virtual MIMO can be divided into a virtual MIMO technology with a parallel communication scheme and a virtual MIMO technology without a parallel communication scheme according to an implementation process. Among them, there is a virtual MIMO technique of a parallel communication system: the users share respective data mutually, and the data are transmitted mutually in parallel, so that the communication quality is improved. When a user needs to communicate with the base station, the user selects some users from adjacent users to assist the user to communicate, then broadcasts the data to be transmitted to the users, ensures that the users participating in parallel all contain copies of the transmitted data, and then the users transmit the data to the base station in the same time slot and the same frequency band. The main implementation of this communication scheme is the diversity function of MIMO technology. Virtual MIMO technology without parallel communication: it means that users cannot share their own data with each other, and transmit data to the base station independently, which is a more common way in real wireless communication system applications. When communication is needed, the base station selects a plurality of users for pairing according to the channel condition, then the users send data to the base station in the same time slot and the same frequency band, the base station adopts multiple antennas for receiving, and advanced receivers and specific technologies are utilized to distinguish which user the signals respectively come from. The main implementation of this communication scheme is the multiplexing function of MIMO technology.

7) "at least one" means one or more, "a plurality" means two or more. "and/or" describes the association relationship of the associated objects, meaning that there may be three relationships, e.g., a and/or B, which may mean: a exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone, wherein A and B can be singular or plural. The character "/" generally indicates that the former and latter associated objects are in an "or" relationship. The embodiments of the present application refer to the ordinal numbers "first", "second", etc. for distinguishing a plurality of objects, and do not limit the sequence, timing, priority, or importance of the plurality of objects.

The embodiment of the application can be realized by any electronic equipment needing high-speed transmission, so that some electronic equipment with communication modules with lower transmission rate can improve the data transmission rate and meet the requirement of high-speed data transmission after the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the application is applied.

For example, when the electronic device detects a touch operation on the setting icon 204, a system setting interface is displayed on the display screen 194 in response to the touch operation. For example, the system setup interface may include a plurality of setup options for setting up corresponding functions. For example, the user can set whether to start at least two communication modules to transmit data in parallel through the system setting interface. For another example, a user may set, through the system setting interface, to start at least two communication modules to transmit data in parallel, and after the electronic device enters the at least two communication modules to transmit data in parallel, the function of transmitting data in parallel by two or more communication modules may be implemented.

Illustratively, the system setup interface may be the user interface 200b shown in FIG. 2 b. The user interface 200b includes an open/close control provided for a user to start at least two communication modules, wherein the open/close control allows the at least two communication modules to transmit service data in parallel when being started; and when the opening/closing control is closed, allowing one communication module to transmit service data. The ON/OFF control in fig. 2b is illustrated as ON/OFF. When a user allows at least two communication modules to transmit service data in parallel, a multi-communication-module parallel transmission mode (also called a multi-communication-module cooperative transmission mode) of the electronic device can be opened (ON state), and the electronic device can start or activate at least two communication modules to transmit the service data to be transmitted in parallel according to the transmission rate required by the current service data to be transmitted, so that the purpose of improving the transmission rate is achieved. On the contrary, when the parallel transmission mode of multiple communication modules is turned OFF (OFF state), the electronic device will adopt the same data transmission mode as the prior art, that is, only one communication module is started or activated at the same time to transmit the service data to be transmitted. Therefore, by introducing the embodiment of the application, the flexibility of the electronic equipment for transmitting the service data can be enhanced, and the transmission rate requirements of different transmission services can be met.

As follows, a case where the multi-communication module parallel transmission mode of the electronic device is turned on will be described as an example. For convenience of description of the scheme, the at least two communication modules are described by taking two communication modules as an example, and of course, the communication module for transmitting the service data in parallel in the present application may be more than two communication modules, which is not limited in the present application.

The following describes the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present application in detail with reference to the schematic structural diagram of the electronic device 100 shown in fig. 1. Fig. 3 schematically illustrates a method flow of a transmission method provided in an embodiment of the present application. The method may be performed by two electronic devices, such as a first electronic device and a second electronic device, wherein the first electronic device and the second electronic device may both be the electronic devices shown in fig. 1 described above. In addition, the first electronic device and the second electronic device may be in a master-slave relationship, that is, the first electronic device is a master device, and the second electronic device is a slave device. As shown in fig. 3, the method comprises the steps of:

step 301, when the first electronic device transmits the service data to be transmitted, at least two communication modules supported by the first electronic device are started.

Here, the at least two communication modules are at least two of N communication modules supported by both the first electronic device and the second electronic device, and N is an integer greater than 1. The communication module supported by the first electronic device includes but is not limited to: the mobile communication module, wireless communication module, bluetooth (bluetooth) communication module, infrared communication module, satellite communication module, PLC communication module etc.. The second electronic device supports at least two of the communication modules supported by the first electronic device.

In a possible implementation manner, the first electronic device may determine the at least two communication modules by determining a transmission rate of service data to be transmitted and transmission rates corresponding to the N communication modules respectively at present, and according to the transmission rate of the service data to be transmitted and the transmission rates corresponding to the N communication modules respectively at present.

Illustratively, the N communication modules are a mobile communication module, a wireless communication module, a bluetooth (bluetooth) communication module, an infrared communication module, a satellite communication module, and a PLC communication module, and the first electronic device needs to determine a current transmission rate corresponding to each of the N communication modules. Further, the first electronic device may determine which of the N communication modules corresponds to a sum of transmission rates that is greater than or equal to a transmission rate of the service data to be transmitted, and then may determine the communication modules as at least two communication modules. For example, if it is determined that the sum of the current corresponding transmission rate of the PLC communication module and the current corresponding transmission rate of the wireless communication module is greater than or equal to the transmission rate of the service data to be transmitted, the first electronic device may start the PLC communication module and the wireless communication module. For another example, if it is determined that the sum of the current corresponding transmission rates of the two PLC communication modules adopting different protocol specifications is greater than or equal to the transmission rate of the service data to be transmitted, the first electronic device may start the two PLC communication modules adopting different protocol specifications.

Step 302, the first electronic device transmits the sub-data streams to the second electronic device based on the started at least two communication modules, respectively. It can also be understood that at least two communication modules can transmit the service data to be transmitted to the second electronic device in parallel.

Two cases of the determined at least two communication modules are exemplarily shown in the present application.

In case 1, at least two communication modules are communication modules using the same transmission technology.

In this case 1, in order to prevent the crosstalk problem between the two communication modules, the two communication modules using the same transmission technology correspondingly use different protocol specifications. For example, the two PLC communication modules may respectively adopt IEEE P1901 and g.hn, and implement parallel transmission of service data through frequency division multiplexing, for example, IEEE P1901 uses a frequency band of 0 to 100MHz, ITU g.hn uses a frequency band of 100MHz to 200MHz, and implement parallel transmission of service data.

Based on the situation 1, the first electronic device starts at least two communication modules, and may transmit the sub-data streams to the second electronic device through the IP transmission mode, respectively.

Illustratively, at least two communication modules are taken as two PLC communication modules. That is, the sum of the transmission rates corresponding to the two PLC communication modules at present can satisfy (i.e., is greater than or equal to) the transmission rate of the service data to be transmitted, and then the two PLC communication modules can be started.

Further, the first electronic device can distribute the data of the service data to be transmitted to the two PLC communication modules in proportion according to the current corresponding transmission rates of the two PLC communication modules. For example, referring to fig. 4a, after an upper layer (e.g., an IP layer) transmits an IP packet to a network layer, two queues may be established, and then the IP packet may be allocated to the two queues according to the current transmission rates of the two PLC communication modules, for example, the current transmission rate of the PLC communication module adopting the IEEE P1901 protocol specification is 800Mbps, the current transmission rate of the PLC communication module adopting the g.hn protocol specification is 400Mbps, two thirds of the IP packet may be transmitted to the second electronic device through the PLC communication module adopting the IEEE P1901, and one third of the IP packet may be transmitted to the second electronic device through the PLC communication module adopting g.hn.

Case 2, the at least two communication modules are communication modules employing different transmission technologies.

In this case 2, the first electronic device may transmit the sub-data stream to the second electronic device through an application layer protocol or a transport layer protocol, respectively, based on the at least two activated communication modules.

Illustratively, at least two communication modules are taken as a PLC communication module and a WiFi communication module as an example. That is, the sum of the transmission rate currently corresponding to the PLC communication module (which may adopt IEEE P1901 or adopt g.hn) and the transmission rate currently corresponding to the WiFi communication module may satisfy (i.e., is greater than or equal to) the transmission rate of the service data to be transmitted, the PLC communication module and the WiFi communication module may be started.

Further, the PLC communication module uses one IP address, and the WiFi communication module uses another different IP address. For example, referring to fig. 4b, one TCP sub-data stream is established on the PLC communication module through the application layer or the transport layer, another TCP sub-data stream is established on the WiFi communication module, and the service data is transmitted to the second electronic device through the PLC communication module and the WiFi communication module in parallel.

In order to enable the second electronic device to accurately receive the service data transmitted by the first electronic device, before the first electronic device starts the at least two communication modules, the first electronic device may first notify the second electronic device that the at least two communication modules are to be used. For example, if at least two communication modules to be started by the first electronic device are communication modules using the same transmission technology, the first electronic device may notify the second electronic device of starting the IP transmission mode, and after the second electronic device receives the notification of the first electronic device, the second electronic device may also establish two queues to receive service data to be transmitted, which is transmitted by the first electronic device, through the two PLC communication modules, respectively. If at least two communication modules to be started by the first electronic device are communication modules adopting different transmission technologies, the first electronic device may notify the second electronic device of starting a transmission layer transmission mode (i.e., transmitting a sub data stream at a transmission layer), and after the second electronic device receives the notification of the first electronic device, the second electronic device may enable an MP-TCP protocol to receive service data to be transmitted.

It should be noted that, the case 1 and the case 2 may occur simultaneously, in this case, priorities of the case 1 and the case 2 may be preset, or one case may be randomly selected, or one case may be selected by the first electronic device according to a preset rule, which is not limited in this application.

As can be seen from steps 301 to 302, the first electronic device may adaptively select at least two communication modules for transmitting service data in parallel according to the supported communication modules, so as to increase the transmission rate.

In the present application, the first electronic device may determine whether to activate at least two communication modules based on its own capability information (i.e., supported communication modules) and the capability information of the second electronic device (supported communication modules). As follows, two ways of the first electronic device acquiring the capability information of the second electronic device are exemplarily shown.

In the first mode, the first electronic device queries the second electronic device for the capability information of the second electronic device.

Further, the capability information of the second electronic device may further include detailed information such as a protocol specification adopted by each communication module supported by the second electronic device. For example, the second electronic device supports a PLC communication module and a WiFi communication module, and the protocol specification supporting the PLC communication module includes P1901 of IEEE and g.hn of ITU-T, and the protocol specification supporting the WiFi communication module includes IEEE 802.11, and the number of antennas corresponding to the WiFi communication module.

Here, the second electronic device capability information may be an index number, that is, the index number may indicate capability information of the second electronic device; alternatively, the second electronic device capability information may also be an indicator character, i.e. the indicator character may indicate the capability information of the second electronic device. Exemplarily, the capability information of the second electronic device includes a PLC communication module and a WiFi communication module, and the capability information of the second electronic device may be indicated by a 2-bit index, as shown in table 1, 00 may indicate that neither the PLC communication module nor the WiFi communication module is supported; 01 represents that the PLC communication module is not supported and only the WiFi communication module is supported; 10 denotes that the PLC communication module is supported only and the WiFi communication module is not supported; and 11, both the PLC communication module and the WiFi communication module are supported. It can also be understood that, when the first electronic device queries that the capability information of the second electronic device is 00, it may be determined that the second electronic device does not support either the PLC communication module or the WiFi communication module; when the first electronic device inquires that the capability information of the second electronic device is 01, determining that the second electronic device does not support a PLC communication module and only supports a WiFi communication module; when the first electronic device inquires that the capability information of the second electronic device is 10, determining that the second electronic device only supports the PLC communication module and does not support the WiFi communication module; when the first electronic device inquires that the capability information of the second electronic device is 11, it can be determined that the second electronic device supports both the PLC communication module and the WiFi communication module.

TABLE 1 capability information of a second electronic device

Indexing	Capability information
		00	Neither support PLC communication module nor WiFi communication module
01	Not support PLC communication module only supports wiFi communication module
		10	Support PLC communication module only and not support wiFi communication module
11	Support both PLC communication module and wiFi communication module

In the first mode, the first electronic device may periodically query the second electronic device for capability information of the second electronic device.

It should be noted that, the specific form of the capability information of the second electronic device may also be any other possible form, and this application is not limited to this. In addition, the specific indication mode of the capability information may be predetermined by the first electronic device and the second electronic device, or may be predefined by a protocol, which is not limited in this application.

In the second mode, the second electronic device actively reports the capability information of the second electronic device to the first electronic device. Correspondingly, the first electronic device receives the capability information of the second electronic device actively reported by the second electronic device.

Based on the second mode, after the second electronic device initiatively reports the capability information of the second electronic device to the first electronic device for the first time, when the capability information of the second electronic device changes, the second electronic device can report the current capability information to the first electronic device again in time. For example, when the PLC communication module of the second electronic device fails or the current transmission rate corresponding to the PLC communication module is smaller than the rate threshold, the second electronic device may timely notify the first electronic device that communication through the PLC communication module is not currently supported. For another example, when the current transmission rate corresponding to the WiFi communication module is smaller than the rate threshold, the second electronic device may report to the first electronic device that communication through the WiFi communication module is not currently supported. Therefore, the first electronic equipment can timely adjust the determined at least two communication modules which need to transmit the service data in parallel, and the data transmission efficiency can be improved. It should be noted that the rate threshold may be an empirical value, a statistical value of historical data, or a typical value.

In the application, the first electronic device may determine whether to start at least two communication modules to transmit the service data in parallel based on the acquired capability information of the second electronic device, the capability information of the first electronic device, and a preset condition. The preset conditions include that the transmission rate of the service data to be transmitted is greater than the current corresponding transmission rate of any communication module supported by the first electronic device, and the time delay requirement of the service data to be transmitted is higher than any one or more of first preset thresholds. That is to say, the first electronic device determines that the first electronic device itself supports at least two communication modules, and the capability information of the second electronic device also includes information of the at least two communication modules (i.e., the at least two communication modules supported by the first electronic device), and the transmission rate of the service data to be transmitted is greater than the transmission rate currently corresponding to any communication module supported by the first electronic device, it is determined that the at least two communication modules need to be started. Or, the first electronic device determines that the first electronic device supports at least two communication modules, the capability information of the second electronic device also includes information of the at least two communication modules supported by the first electronic device, and the delay requirement of the service data to be transmitted is higher than a first preset threshold, and then it is determined that the at least two communication modules need to be started. Or the first electronic device determines that the first electronic device supports at least two communication modules, the capability information of the second electronic device also includes information of the at least two communication modules supported by the first electronic device, the transmission rate of the service data to be transmitted is greater than the current corresponding transmission rate of any communication module supported by the first electronic device, and the delay requirement of the service data to be transmitted is greater than a first preset threshold, and then it is determined that the at least two communication modules need to be started.

It should be noted that the first preset threshold may be an empirical value, a statistical value of historical data, or a typical value. When the delay requirement is higher than the first preset threshold, it is indicated that the delay requirement of the service data to be transmitted is higher, that is, the service data to be transmitted needs to be transmitted in time.

In the application, after the multi-communication-module parallel transmission mode is turned ON (in an ON state), parallel transmission of data by at least two communication modules can be realized, but whether parallel transmission of data by at least two communication modules is required or not can be further determined, and whether parallel transmission of data by at least two communication modules is started or not can be further determined. After the first electronic device determines that at least two communication modules need to be started, the at least two communication modules can be started to transmit data in parallel through the following two implementation manners.

Implementation mode 1: the first electronic equipment automatically starts the determined at least two communication modules after determining that the at least two communication modules need to be started. In this implementation mode 1, in combination with fig. 1, specifically, when determining that at least two communication modules need to be started, the processor 110 may start the determined communication modules that need to be started at the same time.

Implementation mode 2: after determining that the at least two communication modules need to be started (i.e. before starting the at least two communication modules), the first electronic device may output a prompt message for prompting the at least two communication modules that need to be started. Illustratively, the prompt message is a prompt message in a voice form or a prompt message in a text form. Correspondingly, after receiving the instruction for instructing to start the at least two communication modules, the first electronic device starts the at least two communication modules.

When the prompt message is in a text mode, the first electronic device can display a first user interface, and the first user interface comprises starting operation items of the at least two communication modules. Further, optionally, the first user interface may further include a non-activation operation item of the at least two communication modules. Specifically, the prompt information may be displayed on the display screen 194. The prompt message is used for prompting a user to start the parallel transmission of the multiple communication modules. The prompt information may be displayed on a currently displayed user interface of the electronic device, and the display form of the prompt information on the user interface may be displayed in the form of a prompt box, may also be displayed in the form of only text, or may also be displayed in any other possible form, which is not limited in this application. For example, if the currently displayed user interface is a main interface, the prompt message may be displayed on the main interface. For another example, if the current display indicates that the user interface of an application is opened, the prompt message may be prompted to the user interface that opens the application. As shown in fig. 5a, a schematic diagram of a main interface on which the prompt message provided by the present application is displayed is shown. The user interface 500a may be the addition of a prompt box 506 to the user interface 200 a. It should be noted that the prompt box 506 shown in fig. 4a is only an example, and the prompt box 506 in the embodiment of the present application may also be a prompt box in other forms, which is not limited herein. The prompt box 506 may include a prompt such as "initiate parallel transmission of multiple communication modules". Further, at least two startup operation items and at least two non-startup operation items of the communication module can be optionally included, such as forms of yes and no, or forms of ON and OFF, and the like.

In this embodiment, when the electronic device 100 detects that the start operation item of at least two communication modules in the prompt box is triggered, the user interface after starting the at least two communication modules may be displayed on the display screen 194 in response to the operation, which may be described with reference to fig. 5 b. For example, the electronic device 100 in the embodiment of the present application may respond to the touch operation of the user on the operation option of the prompt box based on the following ways: after detecting the touch operation of the finger (or a touch pen, etc.) of the user on the start operation option in the prompt box, the touch sensor 180A of the electronic device 100 reports the touch operation to the processor 110, so that the processor 110 enters a user interface after starting at least two communication modules in response to the touch operation, and displays the user interface after starting at least two communication modules on the display screen 194.

In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device 100 may also determine whether to activate at least two communication modules in other manners. For example, the electronic device 100 may start the meter in response to a shortcut gesture operation (e.g., sliding up three fingers, tapping the display screen 194 twice in a row, etc.) or a voice command of the user while the screen is blank, locked, or displaying a certain user interface (e.g., a main interface, a negative one, or a user interface of another application, etc.) on the display screen 194, and display a user interface entering into starting at least two communication modules on the display screen 194. It should be noted that, the embodiment of the present application does not limit the manner in which the electronic device 100 determines whether to activate at least two communication modules.

In some embodiments, in response to the operation of the start operation item ("yes") in the prompt box 506, the electronic device 100 displays a user interface entering the user interface after starting the at least two communication modules on the touch screen 194, as shown in fig. 5b, the user interface may display the at least two communication modules determined by the first electronic device to be possibly adopted, and fig. 5b illustrates that the at least two communication modules determined by the terminal device are two communication modules adopting the same transmission technology. Further, optionally, it may be displayed on the user interface shown in fig. 5b that the two communication modules using the same transmission technology may be two PLC communication modules using different protocol specifications, or may also be WiFi communication modules using different protocols, and which two communication modules are specifically used for communication may be determined by a user.

It should be noted that, if the first electronic device does not detect the trigger of the start operation item within the preset time duration, the first electronic device may default to not start the parallel transmission of the multiple communication modules at present.

Fig. 6 is a schematic flow chart of another transmission method provided in the present application. The method may be performed by a third electronic device and a fourth electronic device, wherein the third electronic device and the fourth electronic device may both be the electronic devices illustrated in fig. 1 described above. In addition, the third electronic device and the fourth electronic device may be in a master-slave relationship, that is, the third electronic device is a master device, the fourth electronic device is a slave device, and at least two fourth electronic devices are provided. The method comprises the following steps:

step 601, the third electronic device determines a target transmission mode according to a service characteristic corresponding to the service data to be transmitted currently, wherein the service characteristic includes a bandwidth requirement and/or a time delay requirement.

In step 601, the target transmission scheme includes, but is not limited to, a virtual MIMO transmission scheme, a shared TXOP transmission scheme, and an MU-MIMO transmission scheme.

If the third electronic device determines that the bandwidth requirement corresponding to the current service data to be transmitted is fixed (for example, a video), scheduling time slot transmission (that is, transmitting the service data to be transmitted in a fixed time slot), and then determining that the target transmission mode is a virtual MIMO transmission mode. It will also be appreciated that the master device (i.e. the third electronic device) may arrange for parallel space-division transmission in the time slot by two slave devices without a cross path.

If the third electronic device determines that the bandwidth requirement corresponding to the current service data to be transmitted is not fixed, a transmission mode of a competitive mechanism can be adopted. Specifically, the following two cases may be included.

In case a, the current service data to be transmitted is insensitive to the delay requirement.

In the situation a, the third electronic device determines that the bandwidth requirement corresponding to the current service data to be transmitted is not fixed and the delay requirement is lower than a second preset threshold, and then determines that the target transmission mode is the MU-MIMO transmission mode. Further, if the third electronic device determines that the number of fourth electronic devices capable of supporting parallel transmission reaches the maximum number of parallel users allowed to be transmitted by the third electronic device (for example, the maximum number of WiFi antennas of the third electronic device or the maximum number of PLC spatial streams), the remaining slave devices that do not win the channel defer channel access until the channel is idle again; otherwise the fourth device may continue contending for the channel.

And in the case b, the service corresponding to the current service data to be transmitted is sensitive to time delay.

And the third electronic device determines that the bandwidth requirement corresponding to the current service data to be transmitted is not fixed and the delay requirement is higher than a third preset threshold, and then determines the TXOP as a target transmission mode. That is, a TXOP is divided into a plurality of slots, each slot being arranged for a fourth electronic device to transmit frames of a corresponding priority, and the slots are ignored when the fourth electronic device has no frames of a corresponding priority to transmit. For example, one TXOP is divided into two slots, where a frame with priority 1 is transmitted in a 1 st slot (the service data to be transmitted corresponds to one or more frames), a frame with priority 2 is transmitted in a 2 nd slot, and if a certain fourth electronic device has a frame with priority 1 in the 1 st slot, the frame can be transmitted; otherwise it cannot transmit (ignoring the slot).

Step 602, the third electronic device transmits the current service data to be transmitted to at least two fourth electronic devices in a target transmission manner.

In this step 602, there are at least two fourth electronic devices. For example, if the target transmission mode is a virtual MIMO transmission mode, the third electronic device may transmit the current service data to be transmitted to the at least two fourth electronic devices through the virtual MIMO transmission mode. For another example, if the target transmission mode is a shared TXOP transmission mode, the third electronic device may transmit the current service data to be transmitted to at least two fourth electronic devices through the shared TXOP transmission mode. For another example, if the target transmission mode is an MU-MIMO transmission mode, the third electronic device may transmit the current service data to be transmitted to the at least two fourth electronic devices through the MU-MIMO transmission mode.

As can be seen from steps 601 to 602, the third electronic device may determine an appropriate transmission mode according to the service characteristics, and may improve the transmission rate on the basis of ensuring the service experience through the appropriate transmission mode.
