The devices that provide wireless network services refer to those devices that make up a wireless communication network, which can be referred to as network equipment or network elements for short.

The baseband subsystem may also include one or more processing cores, as well as hardware accelerators (HACs) and caches.
图2中,射频前端,与RFIC耦合,用于收发通信装置支持的频段的信号;射频前端与RFIC可以共同组成射频子系统。射频子系统可以进一步分为射频接收通道(RF receive path)和射频发射通道(RF transmit path)。射频接收通道可通过天线接收射频信号,对该射频信号进行处理(如放大、滤波和下变频)以得到基带信号,并传递给基带子系统。射频发射通道可接收来自基带子系统的基带信号,对基带信号进行射频处理(如上变频、放大和滤波)以得到射频信号,并最终通过天线将该射频信号辐射到空间中。In Fig. 2, the radio frequency front end, coupled with the RFIC, is used to send and receive signals in the frequency band supported by the communication device; the radio frequency front end and the RFIC can jointly form a radio frequency subsystem. The RF subsystem can be further divided into the RF receive path (RF receive path) and the RF transmit path (RF transmit path). The RF receive channel can receive the RF signal through the antenna, process the RF signal (eg, amplify, filter and down-convert) to obtain the baseband signal, and transmit it to the baseband subsystem. The RF transmit channel can receive the baseband signal from the baseband subsystem, perform RF processing (such as up-conversion, amplification and filtering) on the baseband signal to obtain the RF signal, and finally radiate the RF signal into space through the antenna.

Different radio access technologies, such as 5G NR and 4G LTE, tend to have different baseband signal processing operations. Therefore, in order to support the convergence of multiple mobile communication modes, the baseband subsystem may simultaneously include multiple processing cores, or multiple HACs.

硬件加速器可用于实现一些处理开销较大的子功能,如数据包(data packet)的组装和解析,数据包的加解密等。这些子功能采用通用功能的处理器也可以实现,但是因为性能或成本的考量,采用硬件加速器可能更加合适。因此,硬件加速器的种类和数目可以基于需求来具体选择。在具体的实现方式中,可以使用现场可编程门阵列(field programmable gate array,FPGA)和专用集成电路(application specified intergated circuit,ASIC)中的一种或组合来实现。当然,硬件加速器中也可以使用一个或多个处理核心。Hardware accelerators can be used to implement some sub-functions with high processing overhead, such as data packet assembly and parsing, data packet encryption and decryption, etc. These sub-functions can also be implemented using general-purpose processors, but hardware accelerators may be more appropriate due to performance or cost considerations. Therefore, the type and number of hardware accelerators can be specifically selected based on requirements. In a specific implementation manner, one or a combination of a field programmable gate array (FPGA) and an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) can be used for implementation. Of course, one or more processing cores may also be used in a hardware accelerator.

Similarly, RFICs can be referred to as radio frequency processing chips or radio frequency modules. In addition, with the evolution of technology, the functional division of the radio frequency subsystem and the baseband subsystem in the communication subsystem can also be adjusted. For example, the functions of part of the radio frequency subsystem are integrated into the baseband subsystem, or the functions of part of the baseband subsystem are integrated into the radio frequency subsystem.

例如第一用户模块占用射频前端中的所有资源路,第二用户模块占用宽带射频接收电路。For example, the first user module occupies all resource paths in the radio frequency front end, and the second user module occupies the broadband radio frequency receiving circuit.
假设第一用户模块的通信频段包括所述第一频段,所述第二用户模块的通信频段包括所述第二频段,第一频段和第二频段冲突,例如在相同的频段区间。举例来说,如图10所示,为本申请实施例提供的一种资源分配方式示意图。第一用户模块占用的射频资源可以包括第一射频接收电路和第二射频接收电路,第二用户模块可以占用宽带射频接收电路。此时所述第一射频接收电路被配置为接收所述第一频段的信号,所述第二射频接收电路被配置为接收所述第一频段的信号,所述宽带射频接收电路被配置为接收所述第二频段的信号。这样分配射频资源,可以保证第一用户模块的通信性能最优,同时还可以保证第二用户模块能够接收到信号。Assuming that the communication frequency band of the first user module includes the first frequency band, and the communication frequency band of the second user module includes the second frequency band, the first frequency band and the second frequency band conflict, for example, in the same frequency band interval.

需要说明的是,图10只是示例,也可以反过来配置,即将第一射频接收电路和第二射频接收电路配置给第二用户模块,将宽带射频接收电路配置给第一用户模块。还可能存在其他配置方式,本申请不再逐一举例说明。It should be noted that FIG. 10 is only an example, and the configuration can be reversed, that is, the first radio frequency receiving circuit and the second radio frequency receiving circuit are configured to the second user module, and the broadband radio frequency receiving circuit is configured to the first user module. There may also be other configuration manners, which will not be illustrated one by one in this application.
在场景三中,虽然射频前端中的射频资源没有配置给第二用户模块,但是第二用户模块占用宽带射频接收电路,可以通过宽带射频接收电路进行信号的收发,避免无法进行通信的问题。In scenario 3, although the radio frequency resources in the radio frequency front end are not allocated to the second user module, the second user module occupies the broadband radio frequency receiving circuit and can send and receive signals through the broadband radio frequency receiving circuit to avoid the problem of inability to communicate.
本申请实施例中,按照场景一至场景三中的方式,为第一用户模块和第二用户模块配置射频资源之后,当第一用户模块和第二用户模块工作在不同状态时,还可以根据实际情况动态的配置宽带射频接收电路给第一用户模块或者第二用户模块。In the embodiment of the present application, after the radio frequency resources are configured for the first user module and the second user module according to the methods in the scenarios 1 to 3, when the first user module and the second user module work in different states, you can also The situation dynamically configures the broadband radio frequency receiving circuit to the first user module or the second user module.
