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.
The embodiment of the invention provides a communication method, which is applied to mobile terminals in a communication system, wherein each mobile terminal can be simultaneously positioned in 1 or more multi-hop (mesh) networks during specific implementation, the mobile terminals in a plurality of mesh networks can be communicated with one base station or a plurality of base stations, and the mesh networks constructed by the mobile terminals in the embodiment of the invention are not limited.
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a communication system according to an embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 1 illustrates three mobile terminals in the same mesh network and communicating with the same base station. In the embodiment of the invention, the number of the mobile terminals in the same mesh network is not limited during the concrete implementation.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the mobile terminal may be a mobile phone, a Tablet Personal Computer (Tablet Personal Computer), a Laptop Computer (Laptop Computer), a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), a Wearable Device (Wearable Device), or the like.
mesh networks are a type of wireless local area network, i.e. mesh networks, also called "multihop" networks. In the mesh network, all nodes are connected with each other, each node has a plurality of connecting channels, and all nodes form an integral network.

In the embodiment of the invention, the communication of one mobile terminal is divided into two dimensions, one dimension is that the communication is longitudinally carried out with a base station, the other dimension is that the communication is transversely carried out with other mobile terminals in a mesh network, and when the direct communication cannot be carried out between one mobile terminal and the other mobile terminal in the mesh network, the other mobile terminals can be selected as transit terminals for carrying out the communication.
When each mobile terminal in the communication system is in communication, each mobile terminal may obtain a Reference Signal Receiving Power (RSRP) drop rate and a remaining network speed of the mobile terminal.
The remaining network speed is a difference between the total network speed and the occupied network speed, that is, the remaining network speed of a mobile terminal is a difference between the total network speed of the mobile terminal and the occupied network speed of the mobile terminal.
In a specific implementation, each mobile terminal obtains the total network speed and the occupied network speed of the mobile terminal, and the implementation of calculating the remaining network speed may be calculated by each mobile terminal, or may be calculated by a mobile terminal that needs to determine the communication quality of each mobile terminal, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

Wherein N is an integer greater than 0 and is not greater than the total number of mobile terminals capable of communicating with the base station in the multi-hop network.
In this embodiment, when the first mobile terminal detects that communication with the base station is not possible, the number of the second mobile terminals in the determined terminal set may be 1, or may be multiple, and the method for selecting the N second mobile terminals is not limited as long as the selected N second mobile terminals can communicate with the base station.
Step 202, the first mobile terminal communicates with the base station through N second mobile terminals in the terminal set.
Data transmission can be performed between mobile terminals in the mesh network, a first mobile terminal, such as a mobile terminal a (a mobile terminal that cannot communicate with the base station), passes through N second mobile terminals, assuming that N is 1, the N second mobile terminals, assuming that N is a mobile terminal B, and a data transmission process when performing data transmission with the base station is as follows:
when the data is uploaded, the data can be transmitted to the mobile terminal B by first performing data transmission between the mobile terminal a and the mobile terminal B, and then the mobile terminal B performs data transmission with the base station, and the data transmitted from the mobile terminal a is transmitted to the base station, so that the data uploading of the mobile terminal a is completed;
for example, when downloading data, the data transmission may be performed between the mobile terminal B and the base station, the data to be downloaded is downloaded to the mobile terminal B, the data transmission may be performed between the mobile terminal a and the mobile terminal B, and the data downloaded from the base station is transmitted to the mobile terminal a, so as to complete the downloading of the data of the mobile terminal a.
In the embodiment of the invention, when any mobile terminal in the mesh network can not communicate with the base station, other mobile terminals are selected as the transfer to help the mobile terminals which can not communicate to communicate.

respectively acquiring reference signal receiving power drop rates and residual network speeds of all mobile terminals which can communicate with the base station in the multi-hop network;
and sequencing all the mobile terminals according to the communication quality based on the acquired reference signal receiving power disconnection rate and the acquired residual network speed.

Namely: aiming at the mobile terminal with the reference signal receiving power drop rate smaller than the preset threshold value, arranging the mobile terminal with the large residual network speed in front of the mobile terminal with the small residual network speed; aiming at the mobile terminal with the reference signal receiving power drop rate not less than the preset threshold, the mobile terminal with the reference signal receiving power drop rate less than the preset threshold is arranged behind the mobile terminal with the reference signal receiving power drop rate less than the preset threshold, and the mobile terminal with the reference signal receiving power drop rate less than the preset threshold is arranged in front of the mobile terminal with the reference signal receiving power drop rate more than the preset threshold. That is, the above ordering principle is: when the reference signal receiving power disconnection rate is smaller than a preset threshold value, the corresponding residual network speed needs to be considered, and the larger the residual network speed is, the higher the communication quality is; and when the reference signal receiving power disconnection rate is not less than a preset threshold value, sequencing by using the residual network speed.
When the reference signal receiving power drop rate is not less than a preset threshold, firstly, the communication quality is certain to be less than the communication quality of which the reference signal receiving power drop rate is less than the preset threshold, and the communication quality is evaluated only according to the reference signal receiving power drop rate, and the smaller the reference signal receiving power drop rate is, the higher the communication quality is;
the preset threshold may be set according to actual needs, such as 1, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.
Step 302, the first mobile terminal communicates with the base station through the N second mobile terminals.
In this embodiment, the N second mobile terminals are the mobile terminals with higher communication quality among the mobile terminals that can communicate with the base station in the multi-hop network where the first mobile terminal is located, that is, the communication quality of the mobile terminals other than the N second mobile terminals is lower than that of the second mobile terminals.
In the embodiment of the invention, when the first mobile terminal in the mesh network can not communicate with the base station, other mobile terminals are selected as the relay to help the first mobile terminal to communicate, and the first N second mobile terminals with higher communication quality are selected to improve the communication quality of the mobile terminals which can not communicate with the base station. The scheme can enable the mobile terminal which can not communicate with the base station to communicate with the base station by using the resources of the mesh network, so that the communication quality of a single mobile terminal is better improved, and the communication quality and the resource utilization rate of the mobile terminal in the whole mesh network are further improved.

That is, the above ordering principle is: when the reference signal receiving power disconnection rate is smaller than a preset threshold value, the corresponding residual network speed needs to be considered, and the larger the residual network speed is, the higher the communication quality is; when the reference signal receiving power disconnection rate is not less than a preset threshold value, sequencing by using the residual network speed;

Step 402, selecting the front N sorted second mobile terminals, where the sum of the remaining network speeds of the N second mobile terminals meets a preset condition for data transmission between the first mobile terminal and the base station.
The sum of the remaining network speeds of the N second mobile terminals meets a preset condition for data transmission between the first mobile terminal and the base station, and may be that the sum of the remaining network speeds of the N second mobile terminals is not less than the network speed required for data transmission between the first mobile terminal and the base station, and the sum of the remaining network speeds of the N-1 second mobile terminals is less than the network speed required for data transmission between the first mobile terminal and the base station; or the sum of the remaining network speeds of the N second mobile terminals and the difference between the network speeds required for data transmission between the first mobile terminal and the base station is less than a preset threshold; it is not particularly limited herein and is determined according to preset conditions that are actually set.
And N is an integer greater than 0, and the N second mobile terminals form a determined terminal set.
The specific implementation process of step 402 may be: referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is a flowchart illustrating an implementation manner of determining a terminal set in the embodiment of the present application. The method comprises the following steps:
step 501, obtaining communication quality parameters of each mobile terminal in a mesh network where the first mobile terminal is located, and grouping mobile terminals capable of communicating with a base station into a candidate set.
The determination of the set of terminals is not taken into account, i.e. not involved, for mobile terminals which cannot communicate with the base station.
Suppose that the current mobile terminal a cannot communicate with the base station, and there are a mobile terminal B, a mobile terminal C, a mobile terminal D, a mobile terminal E, and a mobile terminal F in the mesh network.
If the mobile terminal F cannot communicate with the base station, the candidate set includes the following mobile terminals:
mobile terminal B, mobile terminal C, mobile terminal D, mobile terminal E.
Step 502, determining the mobile terminal with the highest communication quality in the current candidate set according to the communication quality parameters of each mobile terminal, and adding the mobile terminal with the highest communication quality into the terminal set.
When the communication quality parameters are: when the RSRP drop rate and the remaining network speed are high, the specific implementation of determining the mobile terminal with the highest communication quality in the current candidate set according to the communication quality parameters of each mobile terminal in this step is as follows:
if the mobile terminal with the RSRP disconnection rate smaller than 1 is determined to exist, determining that the communication quality of the mobile terminal with the maximum residual network speed is the highest;
that is, if the RSRP drop rate of a mobile terminal is smaller than the preset threshold, it is considered that the communication quality reflected based on the RSRP drop rate is consistent, and the communication quality of a mobile terminal is measured by the remaining network speed, and the larger the remaining network speed is, it is considered that the communication quality is higher.
If the mobile terminal with the RSRP disconnection rate smaller than the preset threshold value does not exist, determining that the communication quality of the mobile terminal with the minimum RSRP disconnection rate is the highest;
that is, if the RSRP drop rate of a mobile terminal is not less than 1, the communication quality of a mobile terminal is measured by the RSRP drop rate regardless of the network speed of the mobile terminal, and the smaller the RSRP drop rate is, the higher the communication quality is.
Assuming that the RSRP drop rates of the mobile terminal B and the mobile terminal C are both less than 1, and the remaining network speed of the mobile terminal B is greater than the remaining network speed of the mobile terminal C, the RSRP drop rates of the mobile terminal D and the mobile terminal E are both greater than 1, and the RSRP drop rate of the mobile terminal D is less than the RSRP drop rate of the mobile terminal E, the RSRP drop rates are sequentially: mobile terminal B, mobile terminal C, mobile terminal D, mobile terminal E.
Step 503, determining whether the sum of the remaining network speeds of all the mobile terminals in the terminal set is greater than the network speed required by the data transmission between the mobile terminal and the base station, if so, executing step 505; otherwise, step 504 is performed.
In this embodiment, the following preset conditions are taken as examples:
the sum of the remaining network speeds of the N second mobile terminals is not less than the network speed required for data transmission between the first mobile terminal and the base station, and the sum of the remaining network speeds of the N-1 second mobile terminals is less than the network speed required for data transmission between the first mobile terminal and the base station.
And when the remaining network speed of the mobile terminal B is lower than the network speed required by the mobile terminal A, continuing to select the mobile terminal (the mobile terminal C) with the highest communication quality in the candidate set (the mobile terminal C, the mobile terminal D and the mobile terminal E) for deleting the mobile terminal B, and so on until no mobile terminal exists in the candidate set or the sum of the remaining network speeds of all the mobile terminals in the current terminal set is larger than the network speed required by data transmission between the mobile terminal and the base station, and ending the determination of the terminal set.
Step 504, deleting the mobile terminals added to the terminal set from the candidate set, and determining whether mobile terminals exist in the current candidate set, if so, executing step 502; otherwise, step 505 is performed.
And 505, taking the current terminal set as the determined terminal set.
At this point, the determination of the terminal set is completed.
Step 403, the first mobile terminal communicates with the base station through the N second mobile terminals.
In the embodiment of the invention, when a first mobile terminal in the mesh network cannot communicate with a base station, other mobile terminals are selected as transfer to help the first mobile terminal to communicate, the first N second mobile terminals with higher communication quality are selected, and the sum of the remaining network speeds of the N second mobile terminals meets the preset condition for data transmission between the first mobile terminal and the base station, so that the N second mobile terminals can assist the first mobile terminal to communicate, and the network speed requirement of the first mobile terminal is met, namely the communication quality of a single mobile terminal is better improved, and further the communication quality and the resource utilization rate of the mobile terminals in the whole mesh network are improved.
Example four
Referring to fig. 6, fig. 6 is a schematic diagram of a communication flow in the fourth embodiment of the present invention. The method comprises the following specific steps:
step 601, when detecting that the first mobile terminal cannot communicate with the base station, the first mobile terminal determines a terminal set only including 1 second mobile terminal, where the second mobile terminal is a mobile terminal with the highest communication quality in a mesh network where the first mobile terminal is located.
The specific implementation of the second mobile terminal with the highest communication quality in the mesh network where the first mobile terminal is located in the step is as follows:
respectively acquiring reference signal receiving power drop rates and residual network speeds of all mobile terminals which can communicate with the base station in a multi-hop network where the first mobile terminal is located;
if a mobile terminal with a reference signal receiving power drop rate smaller than a preset threshold exists in all the obtained mobile terminals, determining that the reference signal receiving power drop rate is smaller than the preset threshold, and the mobile terminal with the largest residual network speed has the highest quality, and determining that the mobile terminal is the second mobile terminal;
if no mobile terminal with the reference signal receiving power drop rate smaller than the preset threshold value exists in all the obtained mobile terminals, the mobile terminal with the minimum reference signal receiving power drop rate is the mobile terminal with the highest communication quality, and the mobile terminal is determined to be the second mobile terminal.
Step 602, the first mobile terminal communicates with the base station through a second mobile terminal in the terminal set.
In the embodiment, only one second mobile terminal with the highest communication quality is selected, and the second mobile terminal is used for communicating with the mobile terminal which cannot communicate with the base station, so that the mobile terminal which cannot communicate with the base station can communicate with the base station by using the resources of the mesh network under the condition that the mobile terminals in the mesh network communicate infrequently, and meanwhile, the resource utilization rate of the mesh network is improved.
In the first to fourth embodiments, if the second mobile terminal in the determined terminal set cannot directly communicate with the first mobile terminal, the second mobile terminal and the first mobile terminal can communicate with each other, and here, the mobile terminal that enables communication between the second mobile terminal and the first mobile terminal may be referred to as an intermediate mobile terminal, and may be one or a plurality of mobile terminals.
If the mobile terminal a cannot communicate with the base station, the determined terminal set includes the mobile terminal C, but the mobile terminal C cannot directly communicate with the mobile terminal a, for example, due to distance, and the mobile terminal a and the mobile terminal C can both communicate with the mobile terminal B, the mobile terminal a communicates with the mobile terminal C through the mobile terminal B, and then communicates with the base station through the mobile terminal C.
