Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic flowchart of an antenna switching method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The antenna switching method provided by the embodiment of the application is applied to the electronic equipment, and the specific process can be as follows:

step 101, detecting whether the LTE radio frequency path and the 5GNR radio frequency path share one antenna radiator to transmit a radio frequency signal, if yes, executing step 102.

The antenna switching method provided by the embodiment of the application is applied to electronic equipment with a non-independent networking architecture, namely an NSA network architecture, and needs an LTE radio frequency channel and a 5GNR radio frequency channel to simultaneously receive and transmit radio frequency signals, namely double connection of the LTE radio frequency channel and the 5GNR radio frequency channel. Further, the NSA also comprises three architectures which are EN-DC, NE-DC and NGEN-DC, wherein DC represents Dual Connectivity, namely Dual connection; e represents E-UTRA, namely a 4G wireless access network; n represents NR, namely 5G new wireless; NG stands for next generation core network, i.e. 5G core network. EN-DC refers to dual connectivity of a 4G radio access network with a 5G NR, NE-DC refers to dual connectivity of a 5G NR with a 4G radio access network, and NGEN-DC refers to dual connectivity of a 4G radio access network with a 5G NR under a 5G core network.

The embodiment of the application is described by taking an EN-DC architecture under NSA as an example, and the electronic device includes a plurality of antenna radiators, and in an EN-DC dual connection mode, there is a problem of sharing an antenna, and a new antenna intelligent switching algorithm is inevitably needed on a terminal, so that the latest application is satisfied. The LTE antenna has good performance, the terminal can be guaranteed to have the best network residence performance, the NR antenna has good performance, and the optimal uploading and downloading throughput can be guaranteed. When the LTE TX and NR TX antennas collide, antenna switching is required, specifically, when the transmitting end of the LTE rf path and the transmitting end of the 5GNR rf path both use the same antenna radiator, step 102 is further performed to control antenna switching.

In practical use, when the LTE rf path and the 5GNR rf path share one antenna radiator to transmit rf signals, if the frequency bands used by the two rf paths do not overlap, there is no large interference between the two transmitted signals, and at this time, antenna switching is not required. Therefore, in an embodiment, when it is detected that the LTE rf path and the 5GNR rf path share one antenna radiator to transmit the rf signal, it may be further determined whether the respective signal strengths transmitted by the LTE TX and the NR TX both satisfy the predetermined signal strength, and if not, it is determined that the LTE rf path and the 5GNR rf path share one antenna radiator to transmit the rf signal, which may cause signal interference, and if the signal quality is poor, a subsequent antenna switching step may be further performed.

Step 102, acquiring a main set signal and a diversity signal received by LTE.

In the embodiment of the application, if it is determined that the LTE rf path and the 5GNR rf path share one antenna radiator to transmit an rf signal, the antenna of the LTE rf path is preferentially switched during antenna switching, and then the antenna of the 5GNR rf path is switched.

Further, in this embodiment of the present application, a primary receive module (PRX) and a diversity receive module (DRX) received by LTE may be obtained through the primary receive module and the diversity receive module, where at least two radiators among the multiple antenna radiators are respectively used for receiving LTE PRX and LTE DRX, and in other embodiments, the LTE PRX and LTE DRX may also be received through more than two antenna radiators, which is not further limited in this application.

In an embodiment, LTE TX may share one antenna radiator with LTE PRX, and may also share one antenna radiator with LTE DRX.

And 103, selecting a first radiator from the plurality of antenna radiators according to the main set signal and the diversity signal received by the LTE, so that the LTE radio frequency channel transmits a radio frequency signal through the first radiator.

In an embodiment of the application, the first radiator may be selected according to signal quality of LTE PRX and LTE DRX, and a radiator corresponding to a signal with better quality is preferably selected as the first radiator, and the LTE radio frequency channel transmits a radio frequency signal through the first radiator, that is, the LTE TX is transmitted through the first radiator. Therefore, the step of selecting the first radiator from the plurality of antenna radiators according to the primary set signal and the diversity signal received by the LTE includes:

and selecting a first target signal from the main set signal and the diversity signal received by the LTE according to the signal quality, and determining a radiator for receiving the first target signal as a first radiator.

For example, in an initial state, when the electronic device receives LTE PRX through the radiator 1, receives LTE DRX through the radiator 2, and uses the radiator 2 as a transmitting end, that is, sends LTE TX, when antenna switching is performed, first obtain LTE PRX and LTE DRX received by the radiator 1 and the radiator 2, compare signal strengths, and if the LTE PRX signal strength is greater than LTE DRX, determine that the performance of the radiator 1 is higher than that of the radiator 2, switch LTE TX from the radiator 2 to the radiator 1, it should be noted that, in the above switching process, LTE DRX also needs to be switched from the radiator 2 to the radiator 1 along with LTE TX, at this time, the electronic device receives LTE DRX through the radiator 1 and sends LTE TX, and receives LTE PRX through the radiator 2. Thereby completing the switching of the LTE rf path antenna and continuing to perform the subsequent switching of the 5GNR rf path antenna.

Step 104, acquiring the main set signal and the diversity signal received by the 5 GNR.

Wherein, the acquisition of the primary set signal (NR PRX) and the diversity signal (NR DRX) received by the 5GNR can also be continued through the primary set receiving module and the diversity receiving module. In one embodiment, NR TX may share an antenna radiator with NR PRX, or may share an antenna radiator with NR PRX.

And 105, selecting a second radiator from the plurality of antenna radiators according to the main set signal and the diversity signal received by the 5GNR, so that the 5GNR radio frequency through path sends the radio frequency signal through the second radiator.

Further, a second radiator is selected according to the signal quality of the NR PRX and the NR DRX, the radiator corresponding to the signal with better quality is preferably used as the second radiator, and the 5GNR radio frequency channel transmits the radio frequency signal through the second radiator, that is, the NR TX is transmitted through the second radiator. Therefore, the step of selecting a second radiator from the plurality of antenna radiators according to the main set signal and the diversity signal received by the 5GNR comprises:

and selecting a second target signal from the main set signal and the diversity signal received by the 5GNR according to the signal quality, and determining a radiator for receiving the second target signal as a second radiator.

In an embodiment, the signal quality may include signal strength, that is, a better-performing radiator is selected as the second radiator according to the signal strength, and the 5GNR radio frequency channel transmits the radio frequency signal through the second radiator.

As can be seen from the above, the antenna switching method provided in this embodiment of the application may detect whether the LTE radio frequency path and the 5GNR radio frequency path share one antenna radiator to transmit a radio frequency signal, and if so, obtain a main set signal and a diversity signal received by LTE, select a first radiator from a plurality of antenna radiators according to the main set signal and the diversity signal received by LTE, so that the LTE radio frequency path transmits the radio frequency signal through the first radiator, obtain the main set signal and the diversity signal received by 5GNR, and select a second radiator from the plurality of antenna radiators according to the main set signal and the diversity signal received by 5GNR, so that the 5GNR radio frequency path transmits the radio frequency signal through the second radiator. The embodiment of the application can realize antenna switching in a non-independent networking architecture and improve the antenna performance.

The antenna switching method of the present application will be further described below on the basis of the method described in the above embodiment. Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is another schematic flow chart of an antenna switching method according to an embodiment of the present application, where the antenna switching method includes:

step 201, detecting whether the LTE rf path and the 5GNR rf path share one antenna radiator to transmit an rf signal, if yes, performing step 202.

Further, in the embodiment of the present application, a main set Signal and a diversity Signal received by LTE may be obtained by the main set Receiving module and the diversity Receiving module, and then Signal strengths of LTE PRX and LTE DRX are calculated, where the Signal strengths may be expressed by RSRP (Reference Signal Receiving Power) and have a unit of dBm.

Step 203, selecting a first target signal according to the signal strength of the main set signal and the diversity signal received by the LTE.

Further, the signal strength is used as a standard for measuring the signal quality, so that the signal strength of the LTE DRX can be compared with that of the LTE PRX, and then a signal with higher signal strength is selected as the first target signal. For example, when the LTE DRX signal strength is higher than LTE PRX, the LTE DRX is used as the first target signal.

In other embodiments, the signal quality may also be determined from the signal-to-noise ratio of LTE PRX and LTE DRX. For example, the signal-to-noise ratios of LTE PRX and LTE DRX are calculated respectively, and then compared, and the signal with the higher signal-to-noise ratio is used as the first target signal. That is, after acquiring the primary set signal and the diversity signal received by LTE, the method may further include:

respectively calculating the signal-to-noise ratio of a main set signal and a diversity signal received by LTE;

and selecting a first target signal according to the signal-to-noise ratio of the main set signal and the diversity signal received by the LTE.

In other embodiments, the signal strength and the signal to noise ratio of the LTE PRX and the LTE DRX may also be calculated respectively, and then the signal with stronger comprehensive quality is calculated as the first target signal after weighting respectively.

Step 204, determining a radiator for receiving the first target signal as a first radiator, so that the LTE radio frequency channel transmits the radio frequency signal through the first radiator.

In an embodiment, when the LTE TX is switched, the LTE DRX or LTE PRX also needs to switch the radiator along with the LTE TX. That is, the step of enabling the LTE rf path to transmit the rf signal through the first radiator includes:

determining an antenna radiator for initially sending LTE radio frequency signals;

and switching the respective radio frequency signal receiving and transmitting functions of the antenna radiator for initially sending the LTE radio frequency signal and the first radiator.

Step 205, acquiring the main set signal and the diversity signal received by the 5GNR, and calculating the signal strength.

In step 206, a second target signal is selected according to the signal strengths of the main set signal and the diversity signal received by the 5 GNR.

The content of selecting the second target signal may refer to step 202 and step 203, which are not described herein again.

Similarly, the signal quality may also be measured by the signal-to-noise ratio when selecting the second target signal, that is, the searching method may further include:

respectively calculating the signal-to-noise ratio of the main set signal and the diversity signal received by the 5 GNR;

and selecting a second target signal according to the signal-to-noise ratio of the main set signal and the diversity signal received by the 5 GNR.

Step 207, determining the radiator receiving the second target signal as a second radiator, so that the 5GNR radio frequency channel transmits the radio frequency signal through the second radiator.

In an embodiment, the step of enabling the 5GNR rf channel to transmit the rf signal through the second radiator includes:

determining an antenna radiator for initially sending a 5GNR radio frequency signal;

and switching the respective radio frequency signal transceiving functions of the antenna radiator for initially sending the 5GNR radio frequency signal and the second radiator.

For example, referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of an antenna architecture according to an embodiment of the present application, in which an antenna switch under the frame controls three antenna radiators to perform intelligent switching, that is, a radiator 1, a radiator 2, and a radiator 3. Wherein, the frame comprises an LTE radio frequency path and a 5GNR radio frequency path.

In the LTE radio frequency channel, the radiator 3 serves as an LTE transmitting terminal, specifically, the transceiver chip transmits an LTE TX signal through the radiator 3, the radiator 3 may also be configured to receive an LTE DRX signal, and the radiator 1 is configured to receive the LTE DRX signal. In the 5GNR radio frequency path, the radiator 1 serves as an NR transmitting terminal, that is, the transceiver chip transmits an NR TX signal through the radiator 1, the radiator 1 may also be configured to receive an NR PRX signal, and the radiator 2 is configured to receive an NR DRX signal. In addition, the radiator 3 and the radiator 4 are also used for receiving NR MIMO DRX signals and NR MIMO PRX signals, respectively.

When an LTE TX signal collides with an NR TX signal, antenna switching of an LTE radio frequency channel is prioritized, an LTE PRX signal received by a radiator 1 and an LTE DRX signal received by a radiator 3 are respectively obtained, signal quality is determined according to signal strength or signal-to-noise ratio, a radiator corresponding to a signal with better quality, for example, the radiator 1, is selected, referring to fig. 4, ports for transmitting the LTE TX and receiving the LTE DRX are switched from the radiator 3 to the radiator 1, and a corresponding port for receiving the NR MIMODRX is also switched from the radiator 3 to the radiator 1.

Respectively acquiring an NR PRX signal received by a radiator 3 and an NR DRX signal received by a radiator 2, determining signal quality according to signal strength or signal-to-noise ratio, selecting a radiator corresponding to a signal with better quality, for example, the radiator 2, switching a port for transmitting an NR TX signal and receiving an NR PRX signal from the radiator 3 to the radiator 2, and switching a corresponding port for receiving an LTEPRX signal from the radiator 3 to the radiator 2.

In an embodiment, if the number of antenna radiators for receiving the LTE main set signal and the diversity signal and the 5GNR main set signal and the diversity signal is two, as shown in fig. 5, fig. 5 is another schematic diagram of an antenna architecture provided in the embodiment of the present application. In this framework, looking first at the LTE radio path, the radiator 2 is used to transmit LTE TX signals and receive LTE DRX signals, and the radiator 1 is used to receive LTE PRX signals. Referring to the 5G NR radio frequency path, the radiator 1 is used for transmitting NR TX signals and receiving NR PRX signals, and the radiator 2 is used for receiving NR DRX signals.

When the LTE TX signal and the NR TX signal collide, the antenna switching of the LTE radio path is prioritized, for example, for the LTE radio path, radiator 1 has better performance than radiator 2, and LTE TX + DRX switches from radiator 2 to radiator 1. It should be noted that after the antenna switching of the LTE radio frequency path is completed, before the antenna switching of the 5GNR radio frequency path is performed, it may also be determined whether the strength of the PRX signal and the DRX signal received by the LTE antenna is higher than a first threshold, and whether the strength of the PRX signal received by the NR antenna is lower than a second threshold, if yes, the step of performing the antenna switching of the 5GNR radio frequency path is performed, for example, if the performance of the radiator 2 of the 5GNR radio frequency path is better than that of the radiator 1, the NR TX + PRX is switched from the radiator 1 to the radiator 2. That is, after acquiring the primary set signal and the diversity signal received by the 5GNR, the method may further include:

if the number of the antenna radiators for receiving the LTE main set signal and the diversity signal and the 5GNR main set signal and the diversity signal is two, judging whether the LTE radio frequency channel and the 5GNR radio frequency channel meet a preset condition;

and if so, executing the step of determining a second radiator so that the 5GNR radio frequency channel transmits the radio frequency signal through the second radiator.
