Wi-Fi 6 uses MU-MIMO (Multi-User Multiple-Input Multiple-Output) technology in both uplink and downlink, allowing the router to use multiple antennas to communicate with multiple terminal devices at the same time, which can be used at the same time. 2.4GHz band and 5GHz band. MU-MIMO technology can increase the network speed and meet the needs of connecting more devices.

When a current terminal (User Equipment, UE for short, also known as user equipment) uses Wi-Fi 6, the 2.4GHz frequency band and the 5GHz frequency band have both uplink and downlink.

Detailed ways

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present application.

The terms "first", "second" and the like in the description and claims of the present application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not used to describe a specific order or sequence. It is to be understood that data so used may be interchanged under appropriate circumstances so that embodiments of the application can be practiced in sequences other than those illustrated or described herein. In addition, "and/or" in the description and claims indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character "/" generally indicates that the contextual objects are in an "or" relationship.

In order to more fully understand the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application, the following contents are now introduced:

The current Wi-Fi6 communication scenario is shown in Figure 1. The 2.4GHz frequency band and the 5GHz frequency band have their own uplink and downlink links: ANT 1-ANT 3 is the uplink of the 2.4GHz frequency band, ANT 3-ANT 1 is the 2.4GHz frequency band The downlink of the frequency band, ANT 2-ANT 4 is the uplink of the 5GHz frequency band, and ANT4-ANT 2 is the downlink of the 5GHz frequency band. The uplinks in the embodiments of the present application include but are not limited to 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands, and the frequency bands appearing in the embodiments of the present application are only examples, and should not be construed as specific limitations to the present application.

In many scenarios, the demand for uplink is only to meet the maintenance of normal signaling requirements (to ensure that the UE can smoothly receive the downlink data corresponding to the two frequency bands), while the demand for downlink is huge. Wi-Fi6 brings more channels and increases the communication rate. However, when there is no mass upload of data, the UE still needs to transmit the power of two paths. In a communication system, the power consumption of the transmitting circuit accounts for more than 80%, so the two-way line will bring about a great increase in power consumption.

The following describes the Wi-Fi uplink data sending method provided by the embodiment of the present application in detail through specific embodiments and application scenarios with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 2 is a schematic flowchart of a Wi-Fi uplink data sending method according to an embodiment of the present application. Referring to FIG. 2 , an embodiment of the present application provides a Wi-Fi uplink data sending method, which may include:

Step 210: Send Wi-Fi uplink data through a target uplink in at least two uplinks under the condition that a preset condition is met;

The preset conditions include any of the following:

The sum of the data transmission rates of all uplinks in the at least two uplinks is less than or equal to the second threshold;

The executing subject of the Wi-Fi uplink data sending method in the embodiment of the present application may be a UE. The following takes the UE executing the Wi-Fi uplink data sending method provided by the embodiment of the present application as an example to describe the technical solution of the present application in detail.

Under the condition that the preset condition is satisfied, the UE may send Wi-Fi uplink data through the target uplink of the at least two uplinks.

The following is an example of Wi-Fi including three frequency bands: 2.4GHz, 5GHz, 10GHz, the first uplink corresponding to the 2.4GHz frequency band, the second uplink corresponding to the 5GHz frequency band, and the third uplink corresponding to the 10GHz frequency band. :

When the UE determines that the data transmission rate of the first uplink is less than or equal to the A threshold (the first threshold corresponding to the first uplink), and the data transmission rate of the second uplink is less than or equal to the B threshold (the second uplink When the data transmission rate of the third uplink is less than or equal to the C threshold (the first threshold corresponding to the third uplink), the UE can switch from the first uplink, the second uplink One of the links or the third uplink is selected as the target uplink to transmit Wi-Fi uplink data.

The first threshold may be a preset data transmission rate, such as 1Mb/s, or may be a percentage of the corresponding maximum data transmission rate of the uplink, such as 20%, that is, when the maximum data transmission rate of the corresponding uplink When the transmission rate is 5Mb/s, the first threshold may be 1Mb/s, and when the corresponding maximum data transmission rate of the uplink is 20Mb/s, the first threshold may be 4Mb/s.

The specific size of the first threshold corresponding to each uplink can be adjusted according to actual needs, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the present application.

When the UE determines that the sum of the data transmission rate of the first uplink, the data transmission rate of the second uplink, and the data transmission rate of the third uplink is less than or equal to the second threshold, the UE can start from the first uplink One of the link, the second uplink, and the third uplink is selected as the target uplink to transmit Wi-Fi uplink data.

The second threshold may be a preset data transmission rate, such as 10Mb/s, 20Mb/s, etc., and its specific size may be adjusted according to actual needs, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the present application.

It should be noted that when the preset conditions are met, it means that each uplink is in a relatively idle state at this time, and the amount of Wi-Fi uplink data to be sent is not large, so Wi-Fi can be completed through one uplink. Fi uplink data transmission.

In one embodiment, the second threshold is less than or equal to the maximum value of the data transmission rate of each of the at least two uplinks.

It is understandable that since the Wi-Fi uplink data includes the uplink data corresponding to each frequency band, and the uplink data corresponding to one frequency band is usually sent by at least one uplink, when the Wi-Fi uplink data is completed through one uplink When sending Wi-Fi, it is equivalent to that the uplink needs to send the uplink data that should be sent by multiple links. Therefore, it may happen that the amount of Wi-Fi uplink data sent is greater than the maximum data transmission rate of the uplink. .

Therefore, making the second threshold less than or equal to the maximum value of the data transmission rate of each uplink can ensure that any uplink can accommodate the sum of the uplink data corresponding to each frequency band, thus ensuring the Wi-Fi uplink data smooth delivery.

When the UE completes the Wi-Fi uplink data transmission through the target uplink, the UE can put other uplinks in a sleep state or a power saving state, so as to save the energy consumption of the UE.

As shown in Figure 3, it is assumed that Wi-Fi includes two frequency bands and two uplinks: the 2.4GHz frequency band of Wi-Fi is the first frequency band, and the first uplink is ANT 1-ANT 3; The 5GHz frequency band is the second frequency band, and the second uplink is ANT 2-ANT 4; and the UE only sends Wi-Fi uplink data through the first uplink ANT 1-ANT 3.

In the case where the UE only sends Wi-Fi uplink data through the first uplink ANT 1-ANT 3, the UE still receives the downlink data through the downlink ANT 3-ANT 1 and ANT 4-ANT 2, but will The uplink data of the 5GHz frequency band sent through the second uplink ANT 2-ANT 4 is transferred to the first uplink ANT 1-ANT 3 for transmission. That is, the UE will send the uplink data corresponding to the 2.4GHz frequency band and the uplink data corresponding to the 5GHz frequency band through the first uplink ANT1-ANT3.

In the Wi-Fi uplink data sending method provided by the embodiment of the present application, when the amount of uplink data to be sent in multiple frequency bands of Wi-Fi is small, only the target link in multiple uplinks is used to send Wi-Fi -Fi uplink data can effectively save the transmission power of the remaining links, thereby significantly saving the power consumption of the UE under the condition of ensuring smooth data uplink and downlink.

In one embodiment, sending Wi-Fi uplink data through a target uplink of the at least two uplinks may include any of the following:

When the transmission power of each of the at least two uplinks is not all equal, the uplink with the smallest transmission power is used as the target uplink to transmit Wi-Fi uplink data;

When the transmit power of each of the at least two uplinks is equal, Wi-Fi uplink data is transmitted using any one of the uplinks as the target uplink.

For example, when Wi-Fi includes a first uplink and a second uplink, the UE may determine to select the first uplink by judging the magnitude relationship between the transmit power of the first uplink and the transmit power of the second uplink Which of the uplink and the second uplink transmits Wi-Fi uplink data.

For example, when the UE determines that the transmit power of the first uplink is less than the transmit power of the second uplink, the UE may select the first uplink to send Wi-Fi uplink data;

When the UE determines that the transmit power of the second uplink is less than the transmit power of the first uplink, the UE may select the second uplink to send Wi-Fi uplink data;

When the UE determines that the transmit power of the first uplink is equal to the transmit power of the second uplink, the UE may select any one of the first uplink and the second uplink to transmit Wi-Fi uplink data.

The Wi-Fi uplink data sending method provided by the embodiment of the present application can further save the power consumption of the UE by selecting one of the multiple uplinks with lower transmission power to send the Wi-Fi uplink data.

In one embodiment, sending Wi-Fi uplink data over a target uplink of the at least two uplinks may include:

In the case where the antenna radiation power influence rates of each of the at least two uplinks are not all equal, the uplink with the smallest antenna radiation power influence rate is used as the target uplink to transmit Wi-Fi uplink data ;

In the case where the antenna radiation power influence ratio of each of the at least two uplinks is the same, Wi-Fi uplink data is transmitted using any one of the uplinks as the target uplink. .

The Wi-Fi connection between the UE and the router is often interfered by the environment. For example, an object with a signal shielding function (such as a metal object) suddenly appears between the UE and the router, and the user holds the UE's antenna position, etc. The radiated power of the antenna has an effect, causing the quality of the Wi-Fi connection to degrade.

Therefore, by considering the influence rate of the radiated power of the antenna to determine which one of the first uplink and the second uplink to send Wi-Fi uplink data from, it is possible to ensure that the Wi-Fi connection is subject to environmental interference to the greatest extent. In case of Wi-Fi uplink data transmission.

For example, in the case where the Wi-Fi includes the first uplink and the second uplink, when the UE determines that the influence rate of the antenna radiation power of the first uplink is smaller than the influence rate of the antenna radiation power of the second uplink, The UE can select the first uplink to send Wi-Fi uplink data;

When the UE determines that the antenna radiation power influence rate of the second uplink is smaller than the antenna radiation power influence rate of the first uplink, the UE may select the second uplink to send Wi-Fi uplink data;

When the UE determines that the antenna radiation power influence rate of the first uplink is equal to the antenna radiation power influence rate of the second uplink, the UE may select any one of the first uplink and the second uplink to send Wi-Fi -Fi uplink data.

Wherein, the antenna radiation power influence rate of the first uplink may be the radiation power influence rate of the antenna corresponding to the first uplink on the UE, or may be the radiation power influence rate of the antenna corresponding to the first uplink on the router, It may also be the average value of the radiation power influence rate of the antenna on the UE and on the router corresponding to the first uplink.

The influence rate of the antenna radiation power of the second uplink may be the influence rate of the radiation power of the antenna corresponding to the second uplink on the UE, or the influence rate of the radiation power of the antenna corresponding to the second uplink on the router, or is the average value of the radiated power influence rates of the antennas on the UE and on the router corresponding to the second uplink.

In the Wi-Fi uplink data sending method provided by the embodiment of the present application, by selecting a link with a smaller influence rate of the antenna radiation power from multiple uplink links to send the Wi-Fi uplink data, it can ensure that the Wi-Fi uplink data is transmitted in the Wi-Fi When the connection is disturbed by the environment, the Wi-Fi uplink data is still sent in the best way, thus significantly improving the adaptability of the Wi-Fi uplink data sending method provided by the embodiments of the present application.

It should be noted that, in the case of router bridging, for example, a router serving as a secondary route can also send Wi-Fi uplink data. Therefore, the execution body of the uplink data sending method provided by the embodiment of the present invention may also be a router.

When the execution subject is a router, the router can also implement all the method steps of the above method embodiments and achieve the same technical effect, which is not repeated here.

FIG. 4 is a schematic flowchart of a method for receiving Wi-Fi uplink data according to an embodiment of the present application. Referring to FIG. 4 , an embodiment of the present application provides a method for receiving Wi-Fi uplink data, which may include:

Step 410: Receive Wi-Fi uplink data through a target uplink in at least two uplinks when a preset condition is met;

The preset conditions include any of the following:

The execution subject of the Wi-Fi uplink data receiving method in the embodiment of the present application may be a router. The following takes the router executing the Wi-Fi uplink data receiving method provided by the embodiment of the present application as an example to describe the technical solution of the present application in detail.

If the preset conditions are met, the router may receive Wi-Fi uplink data through the target uplink of the at least two uplinks.

When the router determines that the data transmission rate of the first uplink is less than or equal to the A threshold (the first threshold corresponding to the first uplink), and the data transmission rate of the second uplink is less than or equal to the B threshold (the second uplink When the data transmission rate of the third uplink is less than or equal to the C threshold (the first threshold corresponding to the third uplink), the router can switch from the first uplink to the second uplink. One of the links or the third uplink is selected as the target uplink to receive Wi-Fi uplink data.

When the router determines that the sum of the data transmission rate of the first uplink, the data transmission rate of the second uplink, and the data transmission rate of the third uplink is less than or equal to the second threshold, the router can start from the first uplink One of the link, the second uplink, and the third uplink is selected as the target uplink to receive Wi-Fi uplink data.

It should be noted that when the preset conditions are met, it means that each uplink is in a relatively idle state at this time, and the amount of Wi-Fi uplink data that needs to be received is not large, so Wi-Fi can be completed through one uplink. Fi uplink data reception.

It is understandable that since the Wi-Fi uplink data includes the uplink data corresponding to each frequency band, and the uplink data corresponding to one frequency band is usually received by at least one uplink, when the Wi-Fi uplink data is completed through one uplink When the Wi-Fi uplink data is received, it is equivalent to that the uplink needs to receive the uplink data that should be received by multiple links, so it may happen that the received amount of Wi-Fi uplink data is greater than the maximum data transmission rate of the uplink. .

Therefore, making the second threshold less than or equal to the maximum value of the data transmission rate of each uplink can ensure that any uplink can accommodate the sum of the uplink data volumes corresponding to each frequency band, thereby ensuring that the Wi-Fi uplink data successful reception.

When the router completes Wi-Fi uplink data reception through the target uplink, the router can make other uplinks in a sleep state or a power-saving state, so as to save the energy consumption of the router.

As shown in Figure 3, it is assumed that Wi-Fi includes two frequency bands and two uplinks: the 2.4GHz frequency band of Wi-Fi is the first frequency band, and the first uplink is ANT 1-ANT 3; The 5GHz frequency band is the second frequency band, and the second uplink is ANT 2-ANT 4; and the router only receives Wi-Fi uplink data through the first uplink ANT1-ANT 3.

In the case that the router only receives Wi-Fi uplink data through the first uplink ANT 1-ANT 3, the UE still receives the downlink data through the downlink ANT 3-ANT 1 and ANT 4-ANT 2, but will The uplink data of the 5GHz frequency band sent through the second uplink ANT 2-ANT 4 is transferred to the first uplink ANT 1-ANT 3 for transmission. That is, the router will receive the uplink data corresponding to the 2.4GHz frequency band and the uplink data corresponding to the 5GHz frequency band through the first uplink ANT1-ANT3.

In the Wi-Fi uplink data receiving method provided by the embodiment of the present application, when the amount of uplink data to be received in multiple frequency bands of Wi-Fi is small, only the target link in multiple uplinks is used to receive Wi-Fi -Fi uplink data can effectively save the received power of the remaining links, thereby significantly saving the power consumption of the router while ensuring smooth data uplink and downlink.

In one embodiment, receiving Wi-Fi uplink data via a target uplink of the at least two uplinks may include any of the following:

In the case that the transmission power of each of the at least two uplinks is not all equal, the uplink with the smallest transmission power is used as the target uplink to receive the Wi-Fi uplink data;

In the case where the transmit power of each of the at least two uplinks is equal, Wi-Fi uplink data is received using any one of the uplinks as the target uplink.

For example, when Wi-Fi includes a first uplink and a second uplink, the router may determine to select the first uplink by judging the relationship between the transmission power of the first uplink and the transmission power of the second uplink Which of the uplink and the second uplink receives the Wi-Fi uplink data.

For example, when the router determines that the transmit power of the first uplink is less than the transmit power of the second uplink, the router may select the first uplink to receive Wi-Fi uplink data;

When the router determines that the transmit power of the second uplink is less than the transmit power of the first uplink, the router may select the second uplink to receive the Wi-Fi uplink data;

When the router determines that the transmit power of the first uplink is equal to the transmit power of the second uplink, the router may select any one of the first uplink and the second uplink to receive Wi-Fi uplink data.

In the Wi-Fi uplink data receiving method provided by the embodiments of the present application, the power consumption of the router can be further saved by selecting one of the multiple uplinks with lower transmission power to receive the Wi-Fi uplink data.

In one embodiment, receiving Wi-Fi uplink data via a target uplink of the at least two uplinks may include:

In the case where the antenna radiation power influence ratios of each of the at least two uplinks are not all equal, the uplink with the smallest antenna radiation power influence ratio is used as the target uplink to receive Wi-Fi uplink data ;

In the case where the antenna radiation power influence ratio of each of the at least two uplinks is equal, Wi-Fi uplink data is received by using any one of the uplinks as the target uplink. .

Therefore, by considering the influence rate of the radiated power of the antenna to determine which one of the first uplink and the second uplink is to receive the Wi-Fi uplink data, it can be ensured to the greatest extent that the Wi-Fi connection is disturbed by the environment. In case of Wi-Fi uplink data reception.

For example, in the case where Wi-Fi includes a first uplink and a second uplink, when the router determines that the influence rate of the antenna radiation power of the first uplink is smaller than the influence rate of the antenna radiation power of the second uplink, The router can select the first uplink to receive Wi-Fi uplink data;

When the router determines that the antenna radiation power influence rate of the second uplink is smaller than the antenna radiation power influence rate of the first uplink, the UE may select the second uplink to receive Wi-Fi uplink data;

When the router determines that the antenna radiation power influence rate of the first uplink is equal to the antenna radiation power influence rate of the second uplink, the router can arbitrarily select one of the first uplink and the second uplink to receive Wi-Fi -Fi uplink data.

In the Wi-Fi uplink data receiving method provided by the embodiment of the present application, by selecting a link with a smaller influence rate of antenna radiation power from multiple uplink links to receive Wi-Fi uplink data, it can ensure that the Wi-Fi uplink data is received When the connection is disturbed by the environment, the Wi-Fi uplink data is still received in the best way, so the adaptability of the Wi-Fi uplink data reception method provided by the embodiment of the present application is significantly improved.

It should be noted that the execution body of the uplink data transmission provided by the embodiment of the present application may also be an uplink data transmission apparatus, or a control module in the uplink data transmission apparatus for executing the method for loading uplink data transmission.

It should be noted that, in the case where, for example, the UE turns on the hotspot, the UE can also receive Wi-Fi uplink data. Therefore, the execution subject of the uplink data receiving method provided by the embodiment of the present invention may also be a UE.

When the execution subject is the UE, the UE can also implement all the method steps of the above method embodiments and achieve the same technical effect, which is not repeated here.
