The terminal device can be any electronic device with a mobile communication function, such as a smart phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, smart glasses, a smart bracelet and the like.
In the related art, for an LTE system, the implementation manner of the Band Sweep process is generally that the Band Sweep process is performed based on one frequency Band, and if a certain frequency Band is successfully found, the overall Band Sweep process is ended. That is, the energy sorting of the power spectrum is performed according to the currently scanned frequency band, and then the cell search process of the frequency band is directly performed.
For the NR system, the implementation manner of the Band Sweep process is generally to perform power spectrum scanning based on all frequency bands, then perform energy sorting, and perform a cell search process according to an energy sorting result. That is, the energy ordering of the power spectrum is done according to the scanning results of all frequency bands.
In addition, in the above scheme, when the power spectrum is scanned, the frequency bands are scanned one by one, and particularly for an NR system, the time consumption of the Band Sweep process is long, and the time for finding or reselecting the network is affected.
According to the method, the Band Sweep process is executed in parallel through the multiple frequency bands, so that the time for executing the Band Sweep process is shortened, and the network searching time of scenes such as starting up the terminal, searching for a network, dropping the network, searching for the network or manually searching for the network is further shortened.
The technical solution of the present application will be described in detail below with specific examples. These several specific embodiments may be combined with each other below, and details of the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments.
Fig. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a frequency band scanning method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 2, the method provided by this embodiment includes:
Specifically, with the advance of communication technology, the channel bandwidth of a communication system is wider and wider, and more spectrum resources are supported. The terminal device may support multiple frequency bands, for example, the terminal device of an NR system of a certain operator supports N78, N79, and N41 frequency bands.
In one embodiment, for a terminal supporting a plurality of communication systems, especially for 4G and 5G systems which have been developed at a high speed in recent years, Carrier Aggregation (CA) is supported, the number of reception paths supported by hardware is generally greater than 1, and therefore, the possibility of multiband concurrent scanning is supported on the reception paths of hardware. The frequency bands scanned by the terminal device in the processes of starting up and network searching, or network searching by dropping network, or network searching manually are more, and in order to reduce the time of frequency band scanning, a plurality of frequency bands can be scanned in parallel.
Therefore, among the plurality of first frequency bands, it is necessary to determine at least two second frequency bands in which the terminal device supports performing scanning in parallel.
For a plurality of first frequency bands, some frequency bands may be executed in parallel and some frequency bands may not be executed in parallel, for example, frequency band1 and frequency band2 may be executed in parallel, one of frequency band1 and frequency band2 being a high frequency and one of frequency bands being a low frequency.
The number of parallel receiving paths supported by the hardware and the number of frequency bands for performing scanning in parallel supported by the terminal device may be the same or different.
For example, the number of receiving paths supported by hardware is 3, the terminal device supports frequency band1, frequency band2, and frequency band3, and the frequency bands that can be concurrently scanned are frequency band1 and frequency band2, or frequency band1 and frequency band3, or frequency band1, frequency band2, and frequency band3, it is determined that the second frequency band that the terminal device supports concurrently scanning is frequency band1 and frequency band2, or frequency band1 and frequency band3, or frequency band1, frequency band2, and frequency band 3.
Specifically, the parallel scanning is performed on a plurality of second frequency bands supporting the parallel scanning by the terminal device, so that the time for executing the Band Sweep process by the plurality of frequency bands can be greatly reduced.
Performing scanning in the embodiment of the present application refers to performing a Band Sweep procedure.
In the frequency band scanning method of this embodiment, in a plurality of first frequency bands to be scanned by a terminal device, at least two second frequency bands that the terminal device supports to perform scanning in parallel are determined; the scanning can be executed to at least two second frequency bands in parallel, compared with the scanning of a plurality of frequency bands executed in series in the prior art, the time consumed in the Band Sweep process can be reduced, and the network searching time of scenes such as terminal startup network searching, network drop network searching or manual network searching can be greatly shortened.
On the basis of the above embodiment, step 202 may be implemented as follows:
and determining at least two second frequency bands which support parallel execution scanning by the terminal equipment in the plurality of first frequency bands according to the first number of the parallel receiving paths supported by the terminal equipment and the frequency band information which supports parallel execution scanning by the terminal equipment.
The first number of parallel receiving paths supported by the terminal device may be pre-stored by the terminal device, for example, the first number of receiving paths supported by the terminal device hardware is greater than 1.
As shown in fig. 3, the receiver includes a receiving path a, a receiving path B, and a receiving path C, and it is assumed that the receiving path a supports reception of a frequency band1, the receiving path B supports reception of a frequency band2 and a frequency band 4, and the receiving path C supports reception of a frequency band 3.
The frequency band information for performing the scanning in parallel may be pre-stored by the terminal device, or obtained by the terminal device from other devices (such as a network device), which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.
For example, the terminal device may pre-store frequency band information supporting performing scanning in parallel, where the frequency band information may include combination information of multiple frequency bands, such as frequency band1, frequency band2, and frequency band3, which can perform scanning in parallel, and frequency band3 and frequency band 4, which can perform scanning in parallel.
In an embodiment, the frequency band information supporting the parallel scanning and the number of parallel receiving paths supported by the terminal device hardware may be pre-stored in a non-volatile memory (NV) of the terminal device.
As shown in fig. 3, if there are 3 parallel receiving paths supported by hardware, the terminal device may simultaneously support at most 3 frequency bands to perform scanning in parallel, or simultaneously support two frequency bands to perform scanning in parallel, which is not limited in this application, that is, the number of the frequency bands to perform scanning in parallel may be less than or equal to the first number of the parallel receiving paths.
For example, band scanning of band1 is performed using receive path a, band2 is performed using receive path B, band3 is performed using receive path C, and band1, band2, and band3 parallel scanning, or band1, band2 parallel scanning.
Assuming that the number of the first frequency bands supported by the terminal device is greater than 3, at least two frequency bands capable of being scanned in parallel are determined from the plurality of first frequency bands, assuming that the frequency band1, the frequency band2 and the frequency band3 can be scanned in parallel, and the frequency band3 and the frequency band 4 can be scanned in parallel. The frequency band1, the frequency band2, and the frequency band3 may be used as the second frequency band to perform parallel scanning, and if the frequency band1 and/or the frequency band2 is scanned first, the frequency band3 and the frequency band 4 may also continue to be scanned in parallel.
In the above specific embodiment, according to the parallel receiving path supported by the terminal device hardware and the frequency Band information supporting the parallel execution of scanning, it is determined which frequency bands can be scanned on the receiving path in parallel, and compared with the prior art in which scanning of multiple frequency bands is executed in series, time consumed in the Band Sweep process can be reduced, and the network searching time in the scenarios such as the terminal startup network searching, the network searching without network switching, or the manual network searching can be greatly shortened.
In an embodiment, determining, in the plurality of first frequency bands, at least two second frequency bands in which the terminal device supports parallel scanning may specifically be implemented as follows:
determining the number of frequency bands in at least one frequency band combination which is supported by the terminal equipment and performs scanning in parallel according to the frequency band information which is supported by the terminal equipment and performs scanning in parallel; each frequency band combination comprises at least two first frequency bands, and the at least two first frequency bands are frequency bands which are supported by the terminal equipment and are used for executing scanning in parallel;
and determining at least two second frequency bands which are supported by the terminal equipment to perform scanning in parallel in at least one frequency band combination according to the number of the frequency bands in the at least one frequency band combination and the first number of parallel receiving paths supported by the terminal equipment.
Specifically, according to the frequency band information of the parallel execution scanning supported by the terminal device, one or more frequency band combinations of the parallel execution scanning supported by the terminal device can be determined, and then the frequency band number in each frequency band combination, that is, the number of frequency bands included in each frequency band combination, is determined; the frequency band combination at least comprises two first frequency bands, and the plurality of first frequency bands can be scanned in parallel.
Further, according to the number of frequency bands in each frequency band combination and the first number of parallel receiving paths supported by the terminal device, at least two second frequency bands which are supported by the terminal device to perform scanning in parallel are determined in at least one of the frequency band combinations.
For example, the frequency band combination information supported by the terminal device is as follows: the frequency band combination 1 includes: frequency band1, frequency band2 and frequency band3, that is, frequency band1, frequency band2 and frequency band3 can perform scanning in parallel, and frequency band combination 2 includes: the band3 and the band 4, i.e., the band3 and the band 4, can perform scanning in parallel.
Assuming that the first number of parallel receiving paths supported by the terminal device is 3, that is, the terminal device can simultaneously support at most 3 frequency bands to perform scanning in parallel, the frequency band in the frequency band combination 1 may be selected to perform scanning in parallel, that is, the frequency band in the frequency band combination 1 is used as the second frequency band, or the frequency band in the frequency band combination 2 may be selected to perform scanning in parallel, that is, the frequency band in the frequency band combination 2 is used as the second frequency band.
Further, according to the number of frequency bands in at least one frequency band combination and the first number of parallel receiving paths supported by the terminal device, at least two second frequency bands that the terminal device supports parallel scanning in at least one of the frequency band combinations may be specifically implemented as follows:
if the second number is greater than or equal to the first number, selecting the first frequency bands with the first number from any frequency band combination as the second frequency bands; the second number is the minimum value of the number of the frequency bands of each frequency band combination;
if the third number is less than or equal to the first number, taking the first frequency band in any frequency band combination as the second frequency band; the third number is the maximum value of the number of the frequency bands of each frequency band combination;
if the second number is smaller than the first number and the third number is larger than the first number, selecting the first frequency bands of the first number from the frequency band combinations of which the frequency band numbers are larger than the first number as the second frequency bands.
Specifically, the final second frequency band is selected according to the relationship between the number of frequency bands in each frequency band combination and the first number of parallel receiving paths supported by the terminal device.
If the minimum value of the frequency band numbers of each frequency band combination is greater than or equal to the first number, for example, the first number of parallel receiving paths supported by the terminal device is 2, and the minimum value of the frequency band numbers of each frequency band combination is 3, assuming that there are two frequency band combinations, where the frequency band combination 1 includes a frequency band1, a frequency band2, and a frequency band3, and the frequency band combination 2 includes a frequency band 4, a frequency band 5, and a frequency band 6, then the first number of frequency bands are selected as the second frequency band in any frequency band combination, that is, 2 frequency bands are selected as the second frequency band in any frequency band combination.
If the maximum value of the number of frequency bands of each frequency band combination is less than or equal to the first number, for example, the first number of parallel receiving paths supported by the terminal device is 3, and the maximum value of the number of frequency bands of each frequency band combination is 2, assuming that there are two frequency band combinations, the frequency band combination 1 includes a frequency band1 and a frequency band2, and the frequency band combination 2 includes a frequency band3 and a frequency band 4, then selecting a frequency band in any frequency band combination as the second frequency band, for example, selecting all frequency bands in the frequency band combination 1 as the second frequency band.
If the minimum value of the frequency band numbers of each frequency band combination is smaller than the first number and the maximum value is larger than the first number, for example, the first number of parallel receiving paths supported by the terminal device is 3, the minimum value of the number of frequency bands of each frequency band combination is 2, and the maximum value of the number of frequency bands of each frequency band combination is 4, assuming that there are a plurality of frequency band combinations, the frequency band combination 1 includes a frequency band1 and a frequency band2, the frequency band combination 2 includes a frequency band3, a frequency band 4 and a frequency band 5, the frequency band combination 3 includes a frequency band 6, a frequency band 7, a frequency band 8 and a frequency band 9, a first number of frequency bands is selected as the second frequency band among a combination of frequency bands having a number of frequency bands greater than or equal to the first number, for example the combination of frequency bands with a number of frequency bands greater than or equal to the first number is frequency band combination 2 and frequency band combination 3, then 3 frequency bands are selected as the second frequency band in any one of the frequency band combination 2 and the frequency band combination 3.
In an embodiment, the method of this embodiment further includes:
after at least one of the at least two second frequency bands is scanned, determining a fourth frequency band which is supported by the terminal device to execute scanning in parallel with the third frequency band; wherein, the third frequency band is a frequency band which is not scanned in the at least two second frequency bands;
performing a scan of the fourth frequency band.
Specifically, when a plurality of second frequency bands are scanned in parallel, it is possible that part of the second frequency bands are scanned, and in order to more fully utilize hardware resources and improve efficiency, after some second frequency bands are scanned, other frequency bands not being scanned may be scanned and the frequency bands being scanned are scanned in parallel. That is, one or more fourth bands are selected from the bands in which scanning is not performed, and scanning is performed in parallel with the third bands in which scanning is not performed in the second band.
The number of the fourth frequency bands may be equal to or smaller than the second frequency band that has been scanned, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.
For example, assuming that band1, band2 and band3 can be scanned in parallel, band1, band2 and band 4 can be scanned in parallel. And if the frequency band1 and the frequency band2 in the frequency band1 and the frequency band2 which execute the parallel scanning and the frequency band3 finish the scanning, selecting the frequency band 4 to scan with the frequency band1 and the frequency band2 in parallel.
For example, if the bandwidth of band3 is smaller than the bandwidth of band1 and band2, then band3 will generally be scanned first.
In the above embodiment, for the plurality of second frequency bands scanned in parallel, part of the second frequency bands are scanned completely, and the fourth frequency Band and the frequency Band that is not scanned completely in the plurality of second frequency bands are selected for scanning in parallel, without waiting for the completion of scanning of all the plurality of second frequency bands, so that the efficiency can be further improved, and the execution time of the Band Sweep process can be saved.
In one embodiment, step 202 may be implemented as follows:
distributing the scanning process of each second frequency band to the corresponding execution module;
and executing scanning in parallel by using the corresponding receiving paths through the corresponding executing modules of the second frequency bands.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 4, the terminal device initiates a Band Sweep process, performs matching operation according to a parallel receiving path supported by the terminal device hardware and the frequency Band information for performing scanning in parallel, and in combination with all the frequency Band information for performing the Band Sweep process, determines which frequency bands can perform scanning in parallel, and distributes the frequency bands to corresponding execution modules, and executes the Band Sweep sub-process of each frequency Band through the corresponding execution modules. And each execution module reports the result after executing the Band Sweep subprocess. The above steps in fig. 4 may be executed by a Physical Layer (PHY) module, and report the result to a Radio Resource Control (RRC) module.
In this embodiment, for a terminal supporting multiple communication systems, especially for 4G and 5G systems which have been developed rapidly in recent years, to support carrier aggregation CA, the number of reception paths supported by hardware is generally greater than 1, and therefore, the possibility of multiband concurrent scanning is supported on the reception paths of hardware. Therefore, according to the parallel receiving path supported by the terminal device hardware and the frequency Band information supporting the parallel execution of scanning, the method can be disassembled into a plurality of Band Sweep sub-processes based on the frequency Band and distributed to the receiving paths supporting different frequency bands. Therefore, in the Band Sweep process, the frequency Band combination capability of the terminal equipment is fully utilized to complete parallel scanning, and the network searching time can be greatly shortened.
In an embodiment, after step 202, information of at least two second frequency bands may also be stored in the frequency band information where the scanning has been performed.
When the remaining frequency bands are scanned, the frequency bands not scanned can be selected by using the information of the frequency bands already scanned.
In an embodiment, a radio resource control RRC module of a terminal device sends a frequency band scanning request to a physical layer PHY module of the terminal device; the frequency band scanning request comprises: the plurality of first frequency bands;
the PHY module determines, in the plurality of first frequency bands, at least two second frequency bands, which support parallel execution scanning by the terminal device, according to the first number of parallel reception paths supported by the terminal device and the information of the frequency bands, which support parallel execution scanning by the terminal device.
Specifically, the RRC module sends a scanning request for a plurality of first frequency bands to the PHY module, and the PHY module determines that the terminal device supports at least two second frequency bands for performing scanning in parallel.
In an embodiment, the PHY module performs scanning on the at least two second frequency bands in parallel, and sends a scanning result of each of the second frequency bands to the RRC module.
For example, taking the NR system as an example, the frequency bands supported by the terminal device are three frequency bands N78, N79, and N41. The three frequency bands can be received in parallel on the receive path.
When the network is found and a Band Sweep process is initiated during startup, the NR RRC module sends information of the three frequency bands to the NR PHY module.
The NR PHY module obtains, according to the NV, parallel receiving paths supported by the current terminal device and frequency Band information for performing scanning in parallel, where for example, if the number of the parallel receiving paths is 3, and N78, N79, and N41 can perform scanning in parallel, the NR PHY module develops a Band Sweep subprocess of N78, N79, and N41; each sub-process will use its own independent receiving path to complete the reception of the Band sweet sub-process.
