Detailed ways

In order to make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the embodiments of the present application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In the following, some terms used in the embodiments of the present application are explained to facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art.

1) Transmission technology, also called transmission mechanism, includes wired transmission technology and wireless transmission technology. Wired transmission technology mainly includes PLC technology (the transmission technology of PLC communication module is PLC technology). Among them, PLC technology refers to a communication method that uses power lines to transmit data and media signals. This technology is to load the high frequency carrying information into the current and then use the wire to transmit and receive the information. The adapter then separates the high frequency from the current and transmits it to the computer or telephone to realize the information transmission. From the perspective of occupied frequency bandwidth requirements, it can be divided into narrowband PLC and wideband PLC. Wireless transmission technology mainly includes 5G mobile communication technology (the transmission technology of 5G communication module is 5G mobile communication technology), 4G mobile communication technology (the transmission technology of 4G communication module is 4G mobile communication technology), WiFi technology (the transmission technology of WiFi communication module is WiFi technology), Bluetooth technology (the transmission technology of the Bluetooth communication module is Bluetooth technology), etc. At present, the protocol specifications of PLC technology include IEEE's P1901 and ITU-T's G.hn. IEEE's P1901 uses a frequency band of 0 to 100MHz, and ITU-T's G.hn uses a frequency band up to 200MHz. It uses multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology and high-order modulation technology (such as 4096QAM) to transmit The rate can theoretically reach 1Gbps. The protocol specification of WiFi technology is IEEE 802.11. With 160M bandwidth, high-order modulation technology up to 1024QAM and 8 spatial streams, the theoretical transmission rate can reach 9.6Gbps. The protocol specification of Bluetooth technology is the IEEE802.15 protocol, and the frequency band used is the ISM (ie, industrial, scientific, and medical) band of 2.4 to 2.485GHz. The protocol specification of 5G mobile communication technology is NR (new radio).

2) Parallel transmission, in the application embodiment, refers to the simultaneous parallel transmission of the same service data in multiple communication modules. It is commonly used to transmit several binary codes of a character on several parallel channels at the same time. Parallel transmission requires multiple physical channels. Common parallel transmissions include link layer parallel transmission, application layer parallel transmission, network layer parallel transmission, and transport layer parallel transmission. Among them, link layer parallel transmission refers to: the universal link layer is referenced in the 2.5 layer of the wireless communication module. This universal link layer can uniformly process the data of the link layer of each wireless access technology, and can be used by the upper layer ( Such as the IP layer) provides a unified interface, which can shield the differences in wireless access technologies at the bottom layer (such as the physical layer). At the same time, this universal link layer can map data flows from higher layers (such as the IP layer) to appropriate wireless access technologies. Parallel transmission of the network layer (also known as the Internet protocol (IP) layer) refers to gathering IP packets from different wireless access technologies through a network proxy or distributing them to various communication modules based on the IP address of the IP packet. Parallel transmission of the transport layer refers to the addition of a multipath Transmission Control Protocol MP-TCP layer that supports parallel transmission between the application layer and the existing transport layer, dividing the original TCP data flow into multiple sub-layers. A stream is divided into multiple traditional TCP connections. When MP-TCP receives the data from the application layer, it first performs necessary processing, such as segmentation and reorganization, and then distributes it to different sub-streams, that is, data distribution for parallel transmission is realized. In turn, the TCP subflow submits the data sent by the sender from different interfaces to the MP-TCP layer. MP-TCP reassembles it and then submits it to the application layer, which realizes data integration for parallel transmission. Application layer parallel transmission refers to splitting data at the application layer and then using multiple parallel transmission layer links to transmit the data.

3) Transmission opportunity (TXOP) refers to a time period. During this time period, a node has the right to access the wireless medium, and the access time cannot exceed TXOP. In other words, TXOP is the time interval during which an electronic device is allowed to send several frames. The TXOP transmission method means that a TXOP is divided into multiple time slots, and each time slot is assigned to an electronic device to transmit a frame of the corresponding priority. When the electronic device does not have a frame transmission of the corresponding priority, the time slot is ignored. .

4) Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology refers to the use of multiple transmitting antennas and receiving antennas at the transmitting end and receiving end respectively, so that signals are transmitted and received through multiple antennas at the transmitting end and receiving end, thereby Improve communication quality. It can make full use of space resources and achieve multiple transmissions and multiple receptions through multiple antennas. It can double the system channel capacity without increasing spectrum resources and antenna transmission power.

5) Multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology, including uplink MU-MIMO and downlink MU-MIMO. Among them, uplink MU-MIMO means that different users use the same time-frequency resources for uplink transmission (single antenna transmission). From the receiving end, these data streams can be regarded as coming from different antennas of a user terminal, thus forming a virtual MIMO system, namely uplink MU-MIMO. Downlink MU-MIMO: Transmit multiple data streams to different user terminals. Multiple user terminals and base stations constitute a downlink MU-MIMO system; downlink MU-MIMO can be separated and transmitted to different users by eliminating/nulling the method at the receiving end. User data streams; downlink MU-MIMO can also use beamforming at the transmitter to separate the data streams of different users in advance, thereby simplifying the operations of the receiver.

6) Virtual MIMO, according to the implementation process, can be divided into virtual MIMO technology with parallel communication method and virtual MIMO technology without parallel communication method. Among them, there is virtual MIMO technology with parallel communication mode: users share their own data with each other and transmit data in parallel with each other to improve communication quality. When a user needs to communicate with the base station, it will first select some users among adjacent users to assist its communication, and then it will broadcast the data to be transmitted to these users to ensure that all users participating in parallel contain the data to be sent. copies, and then they will send data to the base station in the same time slot and the same frequency band. This communication method mainly implements the diversity function of MIMO technology. Virtual MIMO technology without parallel communication means that users cannot share their own data with each other and send data to the base station independently. It is a more common method in the application of real wireless communication systems. When communication is required, the base station will select several users for pairing based on the channel conditions. Then these users will send data to the base station in the same time slot and the same frequency band. The base station uses multiple antennas to receive, and uses advanced receivers and specific The technology distinguishes which user these signals come from. This communication method mainly implements the multiplexing function of MIMO technology.

7) "At least one" means one or more, and "multiple" means two or more. "And/or" describes the association of associated objects, indicating that there can be three relationships, for example, A and/or B, which can mean: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone, where A, B can be singular or plural. The character "/" generally indicates that the related objects are in an "or" relationship. The ordinal numbers such as "first" and "second" mentioned in the embodiment of this application are used to distinguish multiple objects and are not used to limit the order, timing, priority or importance of multiple objects.

Before introducing the method of this application, the application scenarios involved in this application will first be further introduced to facilitate understanding of this solution. Taking the above-mentioned electronic devices as smart homes as an example, in smart home high-speed interconnection scenarios (such as interconnection between large screens, cameras, AR/VR devices, mobile phones, gateways, etc.), the required data transmission rate is relatively high (such as up to Dozens of Gbps), the current transmission rate of a single communication module can no longer meet the requirements, and different communication modules may correspond to different transmission technologies.

In view of the above problems, embodiments of the present application propose that when transmitting service data, at least two communication modules supported in the electronic device can be activated in parallel, and the same service data can be transmitted in parallel by the activated at least two communication modules, such as the transmitted service data stream Divide it into different sub-data streams, and transmit different sub-data streams respectively by at least two activated communication modules, thereby achieving the purpose of increasing the transmission rate of electronic equipment, thereby making the electronic equipment adaptable to various high-speed interconnection communication scenarios and expanding Suitability of electronic equipment.

Among them, the communication modules supported by the electronic device may include the mobile communication module 151 (mainly realizing 2G/3G/4G/5G communication capabilities) and the wireless communication module 152 (mainly realizing BT/WLAN/GNSS/NFC/IR/ FM communication capability), and of course may also include other communication modules not shown in Figure 1, such as Bluetooth communication module, infrared communication module, satellite communication module, WIFI communication module, PLC communication module, etc. Here, the embodiment of the present application No restrictions.

At present, electronic devices usually transmit business data through a communication module that they support. To achieve parallel transmission of the same business data based on at least two communication modules, a setting option can be provided for the user to choose independently. This setting option can be set in the setting program that comes with the electronic device, as shown in Figure 2a, which is a user interface provided by the present application, where the user interface can also be called a graphical user interface. Specifically, the user interface can be the main interface, the negative screen, or the user interface of a certain application, etc. The user interface is illustrated by taking the user interface 200a as an example. The user interface 200 may include a status bar 201, a time and weather widget 202, a hideable navigation bar 203, and multiple application icons such as settings 204 and so on. For example, the status bar 401 may include the name of the operator (such as China Mobile), mobile network (such as 4G), time and remaining power. In some other embodiments of the present application, the status bar 401 may also include one or more of a Bluetooth icon, a Wi-Fi icon, a signal strength icon, a screen lock icon, an external device icon, and the like.

It can also be understood that in some other embodiments, the user interface 400 may also include a Dock bar. The Dock bar can include commonly used application icons, such as phone icons, short message icons, email icons, weather icons, etc. It should be noted that users can set commonly used application icons in the Dock according to their own needs.

In some other embodiments, as shown in Figure 2a, the electronic device 100 may include a home key 205. The home screen key 205 may be a physical key or physical button, or a virtual key or virtual button. The home screen key 205 is used to return the user interface of a certain application or the user interface such as a negative screen displayed on the display screen 194 to the home interface according to the user's operation. This makes it convenient for the user to view the home interface at any time and make changes to the home screen. controls (such as icons, etc.). Specifically, the above operation may be that the user presses the home screen key 205. In some other embodiments of the present application, the home button 205 can also be integrated with the fingerprint sensor 180D, so that when the user presses the home button 205, the electronic device 100 can collect fingerprints to confirm the user's identity. In other embodiments, electronic device 100 may not include home key 205.

When the electronic device detects a touch operation of the user's finger (or stylus, etc.) on an icon of an application program, in response to the above touch operation, the electronic device starts the application program and displays the application program on the first display screen 194 The user interface of the application. For example, if the electronic device detects a touch operation on the setting icon 204, then in response to the touch operation, the system setting interface is displayed on the display screen 194. For example, the system setting interface may include multiple setting options for setting corresponding functions. For example, the user can set whether to enable at least two communication modules to transmit data in parallel through the system setting interface. For another example, the user can activate at least two communication modules to transmit data in parallel through the system setting interface. After the electronic device enters at least two communication modules to transmit data in parallel, the function of two or more communication modules to transmit data in parallel can be realized.

For example, the system setting interface may be user interface 200b as shown in Figure 2b. The user interface 200b includes an opening/closing control provided to the user for activating at least two communication modules. When the opening/closing control is activated, at least two communication modules are allowed to transmit business data in parallel; the opening/closing control is closed. A communication module is allowed to transmit business data. The open/close control in Figure 2b takes ON/OFF as an example. When the user allows at least two communication modules to transmit business data in parallel, the multi-communication module parallel transmission mode (also called multi-communication module cooperative transmission mode) of the electronic device can be turned on (ON state). According to the transmission rate required by the business data, at least two communication modules are started or activated to transmit the business data to be transmitted in parallel, thereby achieving the purpose of increasing the transmission rate. On the contrary, when the multi-communication module parallel transmission mode is turned off (OFF state), the electronic device will adopt the same data transmission method as the existing technology, that is, only one communication module will be started or activated at the same time to transmit the business data to be transmitted. It can be seen that through the introduction of the embodiments of the present application, the flexibility of the electronic device in transmitting service data can be enhanced and the transmission rate requirements of different transmission services can be met.

As follows, the case where the parallel transmission mode of multiple communication modules of electronic equipment is turned on is taken as an example. In order to facilitate the introduction of the solution, at least two communication modules are described below as an example. Of course, the communication modules that transmit business data in parallel in this application can be more than two communication modules, and this application does not limit this.

The technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the schematic structural diagram of the electronic device 100 shown in FIG. 1 . Figure 3 exemplarily shows a schematic flowchart of a transmission method provided by an embodiment of the present application. The method may be performed by two electronic devices, such as a first electronic device and a second electronic device, where both the first electronic device and the second electronic device may be the electronic devices shown in FIG. 1 . In addition, the first electronic device and the second electronic device may also have a master-slave relationship, that is, the first electronic device is the master device and the second electronic device is the slave device. As shown in Figure 3, the method includes the following steps:

Step 301: When transmitting service data to be transmitted, the first electronic device starts at least two communication modules supported by itself.

Here, the at least two communication modules are at least two of the N communication modules supported by both the first electronic device and the second electronic device, and the N is an integer greater than 1. Among them, the communication modules supported by the first electronic device include but are not limited to: mobile communication module, wireless communication module, Bluetooth communication module, infrared communication module, satellite communication module, PLC communication module, etc. The communication modules supported by the second electronic device include at least two of the communication modules supported by the first electronic device.

In a possible implementation, the first electronic device can determine the transmission rate of the business data to be transmitted and the current corresponding transmission rates of the N communication modules, and determine the transmission rate according to the business data to be transmitted. The transmission rate and the transmission rate currently corresponding to the N communication modules are determined to determine the at least two communication modules.

Exemplarily, the N communication modules are mobile communication modules, wireless communication modules, Bluetooth communication modules, infrared communication modules, satellite communication modules and PLC communication modules. The first electronic device needs to determine each of the N communication modules. The current corresponding transmission rate of the communication module. Further, the first electronic device can determine which of the N communication modules currently correspond to a transmission rate that the sum is greater than or equal to the transmission rate of the service data to be transmitted, and then the first electronic device can determine these communication modules as at least two communication modules. module. For example, if the first electronic device determines that the sum of the current corresponding transmission rate of the PLC communication module and the current corresponding transmission rate of the wireless communication module is greater than or equal to the transmission rate of the service data to be transmitted, the PLC communication module and the wireless communication module can be started. For another example, if the first electronic device determines that the sum of the current corresponding transmission rates of two PLC communication modules using different protocol specifications is greater than or equal to the transmission rate of the service data to be transmitted, it can start the two PLC communication modules using different protocol specifications. .

Step 302: The first electronic device transmits the sub-data streams to the second electronic device based on at least two activated communication modules. It can also be understood that at least two communication modules can transmit the service data to be transmitted to the second electronic device in parallel.

This application exemplarily shows two situations in which at least two communication modules are determined.

Scenario 1: At least two communication modules are communication modules using the same transmission technology.

In Scenario 1, in order to prevent crosstalk between two communication modules, two communication modules using the same transmission technology adopt different protocol specifications. For example, two PLC communication modules can use IEEE P1901 and G.hn respectively to realize parallel transmission of business data through frequency division multiplexing. For example, IEEE P1901 uses the 0~100MHz frequency band, and ITU G.hn uses the 100MHz~200MHz frequency band to realize parallel transmission. business data.

Based on this scenario 1, the first electronic device activates at least two communication modules and can respectively transmit sub-data streams to the second electronic device through the IP transmission mode.

By way of example, the at least two communication modules are two PLC communication modules. That is, if the sum of the current corresponding transmission rates of the two PLC communication modules can meet (that is, be greater than or equal to) the transmission rate of the service data to be transmitted, the two PLC communication modules can be started.

Further, the first electronic device can allocate the data of the business data to be transmitted to the two PLC communication modules in proportion according to the current corresponding transmission rates of the two PLC communication modules. For example, referring to Figure 4a, when the upper layer (such as the IP layer) transmits the IP packet to the network layer, two queues can be established, and then the IP packets are allocated according to the current corresponding transmission rates of the two PLC communication modules. To two queues, for example, the current corresponding transmission rate of the PLC communication module using the IEEE P1901 protocol specification is 800Mbps, and the current corresponding transmission rate of the PLC communication module using the G.hn protocol specification is 400Mbps, then two-thirds of the IP packets The text can be transmitted to the second electronic device through the PLC communication module using IEEE P1901, and one-third of the IP messages can be transmitted to the second electronic device through the PLC communication module using G.hn.

Scenario 2: At least two communication modules are communication modules using different transmission technologies.

In this scenario 2, the first electronic device may respectively transmit the sub-data stream to the second electronic device through an application layer protocol or a transport layer protocol based on the at least two activated communication modules.

For example, the at least two communication modules are a PLC communication module and a WiFi communication module. That is, the sum of the current corresponding transmission rate of the PLC communication module (can adopt IEEE P1901 or G.hn) and the current corresponding transmission rate of the WiFi communication module can meet (ie greater than or equal to) the transmission rate of the business data to be transmitted, then it can Start the PLC communication module and WiFi communication module.

Further, the PLC communication module uses one IP address, and the WiFi communication module uses a different IP address. For example, referring to Figure 4b, through the application layer or transport layer, a TCP sub-data flow is established on the PLC communication module, and another TCP sub-data flow is established on the WiFi communication module, in parallel through the PLC communication module and WiFi communication module Transmit the service data to the second electronic device.

In order to enable the second electronic device to accurately receive the service data transmitted by the first electronic device, before the first electronic device activates at least two communication modules, the first electronic device may first notify the second electronic device that at least two communication modules will be used. For example, if at least two communication modules to be activated by the first electronic device are communication modules using the same transmission technology, the first electronic device can notify the second electronic device to activate the IP transmission mode. When the second electronic device receives the first After the electronic device notifies, the second electronic device can also establish two queues to receive the to-be-transmitted business data transmitted by the first electronic device through two PLC communication modules. If the at least two communication modules to be activated by the first electronic device are communication modules using different transmission technologies, the first electronic device can notify the second electronic device of activating the transport layer transmission mode (that is, transmitting sub-data streams in the transport layer), After the second electronic device receives the notification from the first electronic device, the second electronic device can enable the MP-TCP protocol to receive the service data to be transmitted.

It should be noted that the above situation 1 and situation 2 may occur at the same time. In this case, the priorities of situation 1 and situation 2 may be set in advance, or one situation may be randomly selected, or the first electronic device may be configured according to The preset rule selects a situation, which is not limited in this application.

It can be seen from the above steps 301 to 302 that the first electronic device can adaptively select at least two communication modules for parallel transmission of service data according to the supported communication modules, thereby increasing the transmission rate.

In this application, the first electronic device may determine whether to activate at least two communication modules based on its own capability information (ie, supported communication modules) and the capability information of the second electronic device (ie, supported communication modules). As follows, two ways for the first electronic device to obtain the capability information of the second electronic device are exemplarily shown.

Method 1: The first electronic device queries the second electronic device for capability information of the second electronic device.

Furthermore, the capability information of the second electronic device may also include detailed information such as protocol specifications used by each communication module supported by the second electronic device. For example, the second electronic device supports a PLC communication module and a WiFi communication module, and the protocol specifications supported by the PLC communication module include IEEE P1901 and ITU-T G.hn, and the protocol specifications supported by the WiFi communication module include IEEE 802.11, and WiFi The number of antennas corresponding to the communication module.

Here, the second electronic device capability information can be an index number, that is, the index number can indicate the capability information of the second electronic device; or, the second electronic device capability information can also be an indicator character, that is, the indicator character can indicate the third electronic device. 2. Capability information of electronic equipment. For example, the capability information of the second electronic device includes a PLC communication module and a WiFi communication module, then the capability information of the second electronic device can be indicated by a 2-bit index, as shown in Table 1, 00 can indicate that neither the PLC communication module nor the WiFi communication module is supported. WiFi communication module is not supported; 01 means that PLC communication module is not supported and only WiFi communication module is supported; 10 means that only PLC communication module is supported and WiFi communication module is not supported; 11 means that both PLC communication module and WiFi communication module are supported. It can also be understood that when the first electronic device queries that the capability information of the second electronic device is 00, it can be determined that the second electronic device supports neither the PLC communication module nor the WiFi communication module; the first electronic device queries that the second electronic device When the capability information of the device is 01, it can be determined that the second electronic device does not support the PLC communication module and only supports the WiFi communication module; when the first electronic device queries that the capability information of the second electronic device is 10, it can be determined that the second electronic device only supports the WiFi communication module. The PLC communication module does not support the WiFi communication module; when the first electronic device queries that the capability information of the second electronic device is 11, it can be determined that the second electronic device supports both the PLC communication module and the WiFi communication module.

Table 1 Capability information of the second electronic device

index capability information 00 Supports neither PLC communication module nor WiFi communication module 01 PLC communication module is not supported. Only WiFi communication module is supported. 10 Only supports PLC communication module and does not support WiFi communication module 11 Supports both PLC communication module and WiFi communication module

In the first method, the first electronic device may periodically query the second electronic device for the capability information of the second electronic device.

It should be noted that the specific form of the capability information of the second electronic device can also be any other possible form, which is not limited in this application. In addition, the specific indication method of the capability information may be pre-agreed by the first electronic device and the second electronic device, or may be pre-defined by the protocol, which is not limited in this application.

Method two: the second electronic device actively reports the capability information of the second electronic device to the first electronic device. Correspondingly, the first electronic device receives the capability information of the second electronic device actively reported from the second electronic device.

Based on the second method, after the second electronic device actively reports the capability information of the second electronic device to the first electronic device for the first time, when the capability information of the second electronic device changes, the second electronic device can report to the first electronic device in time again. Report current capability information. For example, when the PLC communication module of the second electronic device fails or the current corresponding transmission rate of the PLC communication module is less than the rate threshold, the second electronic device can promptly notify the first electronic device that communication through the PLC communication module is not currently supported. For another example, when the current corresponding transmission rate of the WiFi communication module is less than the rate threshold, the second electronic device may report to the first electronic device that communication through the WiFi communication module is not currently supported. This enables the first electronic device to promptly adjust at least two communication modules that are determined to require parallel transmission of service data, thereby improving the efficiency of data transmission. It should be noted that the rate threshold can be an empirical value, a historical data statistical value, a typical value, etc.

In this application, the first electronic device may determine whether at least two communication modules need to be activated to transmit service data in parallel based on the acquired capability information of the second electronic device, the capability information of the first electronic device itself, and preset conditions. The preset conditions include that the transmission rate of the business data to be transmitted is greater than the current corresponding transmission rate of any communication module supported by the first electronic device, and the delay requirement of the business data to be transmitted is higher than any of the first preset thresholds. Or any number of them. That is to say, the first electronic device determines that it supports at least two communication modules, and the capability information of the second electronic device also includes information about the at least two communication modules (ie, the at least two communication modules supported by the first electronic device). , and the transmission rate of the service data to be transmitted is greater than the current corresponding transmission rate of any communication module supported by the first electronic device, then it is determined that at least two communication modules need to be activated. Alternatively, the first electronic device determines that it supports at least two communication modules, the capability information of the second electronic device also includes information about the at least two communication modules supported by the first electronic device, and the delay requirement of the service data to be transmitted is is higher than the first preset threshold, it is determined that at least two communication modules need to be activated. Alternatively, the first electronic device determines that it supports at least two communication modules, the capability information of the second electronic device also includes information on at least two communication modules supported by the first electronic device, and the transmission rate of the service data to be transmitted is greater than the first electronic device. If the current corresponding transmission rate of any communication module supported by an electronic device and the delay requirement of the business data to be transmitted are higher than the first preset threshold, it is determined that at least two communication modules need to be activated.

It should be noted that the first preset threshold may be an experience value, a historical data statistical value, a typical value, etc. When the delay requirement is higher than the first preset threshold, it means that the service data to be transmitted has relatively high delay requirements, that is, the service data to be transmitted needs to be transmitted in time.

In this application, after the multi-communication module parallel transmission mode is turned on (in the ON state), at least two communication modules can transmit data in parallel. However, whether at least two communication modules need to transmit data in parallel may require further determination. Start at least two communication modules to transmit data in parallel. As follows, when the first electronic device determines that at least two communication modules need to be activated, at least two communication modules can be activated to transmit data in parallel through the following two implementation methods.

Implementation manner 1: After determining that at least two communication modules need to be activated, the first electronic device activates the determined at least two communication modules on its own. In this implementation manner 1, with reference to the above-mentioned FIG. 1 , specifically, when the processor 110 determines that at least two communication modules need to be started, the processor 110 can start the determined communication modules that need to be started at the same time.

Implementation 2: After determining that at least two communication modules need to be activated (that is, before at least two communication modules are activated), the first electronic device may output prompt information, where the prompt information is used to prompt at least two communication modules that need to be activated. For example, the prompt information is prompt information in voice form or prompt information in text form. Correspondingly, after receiving the instruction for instructing to start the at least two communication modules, the first electronic device starts the at least two communication modules.

When the prompt information is text prompt information, the first electronic device may display a first user interface, and the first user interface includes startup operation items of the at least two communication modules. Further, optionally, the first user interface may also include an operation item for not starting the at least two communication modules. Specifically, prompt information may be displayed on the display screen 194 . This prompt information is used to prompt the user to "start parallel transmission of multiple communication modules". The prompt information can be displayed on the currently displayed user interface of the electronic device. The prompt information can be displayed on the user interface in the form of a prompt box, in the form of text only, or in other forms. Any possible form, this application does not limit this. For example, if the currently displayed user interface is the main interface, the prompt information can be displayed on the main interface. For another example, if what is currently displayed is the user interface for opening a certain application, the prompt information can be prompted on the user interface for opening the application. As shown in Figure 5a, a schematic diagram of a prompt message provided by this application is displayed on the main interface. The user interface 500a may include a prompt box 506 added to the user interface 200a. It should be noted that the prompt box 506 shown in Figure 4a is only an example. In the embodiment of the present application, the prompt box 506 can also be other forms of prompt boxes, which is not limited. The prompt box 506 may include prompt information, such as "Start parallel transmission of multiple communication modules." Furthermore, it may optionally include start operation items and non-start operation items of at least two communication modules, such as "YES" and "NO", or "ON" and "OFF".

Wherein, the electronic device 100 in the embodiment of the present application detects that the startup operation items of at least two communication modules in the prompt box are triggered, and can respond to the operation by displaying on the display screen 194 the user's status after starting at least two communication modules. For the interface, please refer to the introduction in Figure 5b. For example, the electronic device 100 in the embodiment of the present application can respond to the user's touch operation on the operation option of the prompt box in the following manner: when the touch sensor 180A of the electronic device 100 detects the user's finger (or stylus, etc.) for After the touch operation of the startup operation option in the prompt box is reported to the processor 110, the processor 110 responds to the above touch operation, enters the user interface after starting at least two communication modules, and displays the startup operation on the display screen 194. User interface behind the two communication modules.

In addition, in this embodiment of the present application, the electronic device 100 may also determine whether to activate at least two communication modules through other methods. For example, the electronic device 100 may respond to the user's shortcut gesture operation when the screen is black, the screen is locked, or a certain user interface is displayed on the display screen 194 (such as the main interface, the negative screen, or the user interface of other applications, etc.). (For example, sliding up with three fingers, tapping the display screen 194 with two consecutive knuckles, etc.), or voice instructions and other operations, start the measuring instrument, and display on the display screen 194 the user interface for starting at least two communication modules. It should be noted that the embodiment of the present application does not limit the manner in which the electronic device 100 determines whether to activate at least two communication modules.

In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 responds to the operation of the startup operation item ("Yes") in the prompt box 506, and enters the user interface after starting at least two communication modules displayed on the touch screen 194, as shown in Figure 5b , the user interface can display at least two possible communication modules determined by the first electronic device. Figure 5b takes the at least two communication modules determined by the terminal device as two communication modules using the same transmission technology as an example. . Further, optionally, it can be displayed on the user interface shown in Figure 5b that the two communication modules using the same transmission technology can be two PLC communication modules using different protocol specifications, or they can be WiFi communication modules using different protocols. , which two communication modules are used for communication can be decided by the user.

It should be noted that if the first electronic device does not detect the triggering of the startup operation item within the preset time period, the first electronic device may not activate the multi-communication module parallel transmission by default.

As shown in Figure 6, a schematic flow chart of another transmission method is provided for this application. The method may be executed by a third electronic device and a fourth electronic device, where both the third electronic device and the fourth electronic device may be the electronic devices shown in FIG. 1 . In addition, the third electronic device and the fourth electronic device may also have a master-slave relationship, that is, the third electronic device is the master device, the fourth electronic device is the slave device, and there are at least two fourth electronic devices. The method includes the following steps:

Step 601: The third electronic device determines a target transmission mode according to the service characteristics corresponding to the current service data to be transmitted, where the service characteristics include bandwidth requirements and/or delay requirements.

In step 601, the target transmission method includes but is not limited to virtual MIMO transmission method, shared TXOP transmission method and MU-MIMO transmission method.

If the third electronic device determines that the bandwidth requirement corresponding to the current service data to be transmitted is fixed (such as video), and schedules time slot transmission (that is, the service data to be transmitted is transmitted in a fixed time slot), it can be determined that the target transmission mode is virtual MIMO transmission method. It can also be understood that the master device (ie, the third electronic device) can arrange for two slave devices without cross paths to transmit in parallel space division in this time slot.

If the third electronic device determines that the bandwidth requirement corresponding to the current service data to be transmitted is not fixed, a competition mechanism transmission method may be used. Specifically, the following two situations may be included.

In case a, the current service data to be transmitted is not sensitive to delay requirements.

In this situation a, if the third electronic device determines that the bandwidth requirement corresponding to the currently to-be-transmitted service data is not fixed and the delay requirement is lower than the second preset threshold, it can determine that the target transmission mode is the MU-MIMO transmission mode. Further, if the third electronic device determines that the number of fourth electronic devices that can support parallel transmission reaches the maximum number of parallel users allowed for transmission by the third electronic device (for example, the maximum number of WiFi antennas of the third electronic device or the maximum number of spatial streams of the PLC) , then the remaining slave device of the fourth electronic device that has not won the channel will postpone channel access until the channel is idle again; otherwise, the fourth device can continue to compete for the channel.

In case b, the service corresponding to the current service data to be transmitted is sensitive to delay.

The third electronic device determines that the bandwidth requirement corresponding to the current service data to be transmitted is not fixed and the delay requirement is higher than the third preset threshold, and then determines TXOP as the target transmission method. That is, a TXOP is divided into multiple time slots, and each time slot is assigned to a fourth electronic device to transmit a frame of a corresponding priority. When the fourth electronic device does not transmit a frame of a corresponding priority, the time slot is ignored. For example, a TXOP is divided into two time slots. The first time slot transmits frames with priority 1 (the business data to be transmitted corresponds to one or more frames), and the second time slot transmits frames with priority 2. Frames, if a fourth electronic device has a frame with priority 1 in the first time slot, it can be transmitted; otherwise it cannot be transmitted (the time slot is ignored).

Step 602: The third electronic device transmits the currently to-be-transmitted service data to at least two fourth electronic devices through the target transmission method.

In this step 602, there are at least two fourth electronic devices. For example, if the target transmission method is a virtual MIMO transmission method, the third electronic device can transmit the currently to-be-transmitted service data to at least two fourth electronic devices through the virtual MIMO transmission method. For another example, if the target transmission mode is the shared TXOP transmission mode, the third electronic device can transmit the currently to-be-transmitted service data to at least two fourth electronic devices through the shared TXOP transmission mode. For another example, if the target transmission method is the MU-MIMO transmission method, the third electronic device can transmit the currently to-be-transmitted service data to at least two fourth electronic devices through the MU-MIMO transmission method.

It can be seen from the above steps 601 to 602 that the third electronic device can determine an appropriate transmission method according to the characteristics of the service, and through the appropriate transmission method, the transmission rate can be increased while ensuring the service experience.
