Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, however, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, and not all of the embodiments of the present application. 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 application.

The embodiment of the application provides a communication method, which can be executed by a communication device, and the communication device can be integrated in computer equipment. The computer device may include a terminal, and the communication method may be executed by the terminal, or may be executed by the terminal in cooperation with the server. The terminal may be a personal computer, a tablet computer, a laptop computer, a desktop computer, a smart television, a smart phone, a smart speaker, a smart watch, a VR/AR device, a vehicle-mounted terminal, a smart home, a wearable electronic device, and the like, but is not limited thereto. The terminal and the server may be directly or indirectly connected through wired or wireless communication, and the application is not limited herein.

In an embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, the communication device may be integrated on a computer device such as a terminal to implement the communication method provided in the embodiment of the present application. By way of example, the communication method may be introduced by taking a computer device as a terminal.

Referring to fig. 1, the terminal 10 may receive the second communication request sent by the base station 20 when currently in the first communication state, and the terminal 10 may determine a first frequency band corresponding to the first communication state, where the first communication state may be a communication state in which the terminal performs a first communication session, and the first frequency band is a frequency band occupied by the terminal during the first communication session. Further, the terminal 10 may determine a second frequency band in which the terminal 10 responds to the second communication request according to the first frequency band, for example, the terminal 10 may determine the second frequency band through cooperation with the base station 20, in this way, the terminal may respond to the second communication request in the first communication state according to the first frequency band and the second frequency band, where the second frequency band is a frequency band occupied by the terminal when performing the second communication session, and the second communication session may be a communication session established by the terminal in response to the second communication request.

The following are detailed below, and it should be noted that the order of description of the following examples is not intended to limit the preferred order of the examples.

According to the communication method provided by the embodiment of the application, the method can be executed by a terminal, and can also be executed by a server and the terminal together; the embodiment of the present application is described by taking an example in which a communication method is executed by a terminal.

As shown in fig. 2, the specific process of the communication method may be as follows:

101. and if the terminal in the first communication state receives the second communication request, determining a first frequency band corresponding to the terminal in the first communication state.

When the terminal establishes a communication session and the communication session is ongoing, the terminal may be considered to be in a communication state. The communication session may be established in various ways, for example, the communication session may include voice calls, such as a landline call, a mobile phone call, an intercom call, and the like; as another example, data communication may be included, such as initiating a voice conversation or a video conversation via an instant messaging application.

In the present application, the communication states and the communication sessions may be in a one-to-one correspondence relationship, that is, if a terminal establishes a communication session and the communication session is currently ongoing, it may be determined that the terminal is currently in the communication state corresponding to the communication session. Accordingly, the first communication state refers to a communication state corresponding to the first communication session. It should be noted that the number of the first communication sessions is not limited in the present application, that is, before receiving the second communication request, the terminal may establish at least one communication session, which is the first communication session.

As an example, the terminal may establish a communication session with another device, and the communication session is in progress, for example, the communication session may specifically be in a form of voice call or data communication, and for distinction, the communication session may be referred to as a first communication session, and correspondingly, the terminal is currently in a first communication state corresponding to the first communication session.

In the present application, for the purpose of distinction, a communication session currently established by the terminal may be referred to as a first communication session, for example, the terminal may currently establish at least one first communication session, and a communication state corresponding to the first communication session currently ongoing by the terminal may be determined as the first communication state currently in which the terminal is currently located.

In this application, a communication request received when the terminal is in the first communication state may be referred to as a second communication request, specifically, the second communication request is used to request to establish a communication session with the terminal, and for distinction, the communication session requested to be established by the second communication request may be referred to as a second communication session.

In the communication field, the frequency band refers to a frequency range of electromagnetic waves. In practical applications, a terminal may support multiple frequency bands, for example, the frequency bands supported by the terminal may include B1, B3, B7, B20, B8, B28, and the like. In this application, for the purpose of differentiation, a frequency band corresponding to the terminal in the first communication state may be referred to as a first frequency band.

For example, the communication session may be specifically in the form of a voice call or a data communication, and for the sake of distinction, the communication session may be referred to as a first communication session, and correspondingly, the terminal is currently in a first communication state corresponding to the first communication session. Further, the terminal may receive a communication request when in the first communication state, and the communication request may be referred to as a second communication request, and the second communication request may be used to request to establish a communication session with the terminal, for example, the communication session may specifically be in the form of a voice call or a data communication. In this example, the terminal may determine a frequency band corresponding to the terminal in the first communication state, and for the purpose of distinguishing, the frequency band may be referred to as a first frequency band.

102. And determining a second frequency band of the terminal responding to the second communication request according to the first frequency band.

In this application, for the sake of distinction, a frequency band corresponding to the terminal establishing the second communication session may be referred to as a second frequency band, where the second communication session is a communication session established by the terminal in response to the second communication request, that is, the terminal may establish the second communication session by occupying the second frequency band as a response to the second communication request.

In practical applications, due to the structure of the rf antenna, multiple frequency bands can work simultaneously, for example, two frequency bands work simultaneously, that is, signals can be transmitted simultaneously in two rf paths. Therefore, the second frequency band corresponding to the terminal responding to the second communication request can be determined, so that the terminal can respond to the second communication request for communication according to the second frequency band when in the first communication state.

For example, considering that the terminal can support the first frequency band and the second frequency band to work independently, and also can support the first frequency band and the second frequency band to work simultaneously, and in addition, because the terminal is currently in the first communication state, it can be known that the first frequency band in the terminal is in work currently, so that, in order to enable the terminal in the first communication state to communicate in response to the second communication request, the second frequency band, in which the terminal responds to the second communication request, can be determined from the frequency bands, in which the terminal can also support simultaneous work, of the terminal when the first frequency band of the terminal is in the work state.

The terminal may determine, according to the first frequency band, a second frequency band in response to the second communication request in various ways, for example, the terminal may analyze the second communication request to determine a type of a communication session that is established between the request and the terminal, such as a voice call type, a data communication type, and the like; further, the second frequency band for the terminal to respond to the second communication request may be determined according to the type from the frequency bands in which the terminal can also support simultaneous operation.

For another example, in consideration of the fact that a terminal can support a radio frequency combination working simultaneously in practical application, the radio frequency combination can be specifically determined by combining the support capability of a radio frequency chip and the construction mode of a radio frequency antenna architecture; furthermore, specifically selecting which frequency band is used for signal transmission, and implementing communication according to the frequency band, in addition to considering the radio frequency combination that can be supported by the terminal, the terminal may cooperate with the base station, and therefore, specifically, the step "determining the second frequency band in which the terminal responds to the second communication request according to the first frequency band" may include:

acquiring an associated frequency band combination of a first frequency band in a terminal, wherein the associated frequency band combination comprises at least one associated frequency band of the first frequency band in the terminal;

and determining a second frequency band of the terminal responding to the second communication request from the associated frequency band.

The associated frequency band of the first frequency band in the terminal refers to a frequency band capable of supporting simultaneous operation with the first frequency band in the terminal. For example, taking the first frequency band specifically being B1 as an example, and the frequency bands capable of supporting simultaneous operation with B1 in the terminal specifically include B3, B8, B20, etc., it may be determined that the associated frequency band of B1 in the terminal includes B3, B8, B20, etc.

The associated frequency band combination of the first frequency band in the terminal is a set consisting of the first frequency band in the terminal and the associated frequency band of the first frequency band, and the terminal can support the simultaneous operation of each frequency band in the associated frequency band combination. It should be noted that, in the present application, the number of the frequency bands in the associated frequency band combination of the first frequency band is not limited, that is, one associated frequency band combination may include at least one associated frequency band of the first frequency band, and the terminal may support the first frequency band and each associated frequency band of the first frequency band to operate simultaneously.

For example, the first frequency band may be specifically B1, the associated frequency bands of the first frequency band in the terminal include B3, B8, and B20, and the associated frequency band combination of the first frequency band includes two frequency bands, then the associated frequency band combination of the first frequency band in the terminal may include the following combinations: { B1, B3}, { B1, B8}, { B1, B20 }.

Further, the frequency band occupied by the terminal for establishing the second communication session, that is, the second frequency band, can be determined from the associated frequency band of the first frequency band. In this application, the terminal may determine the second frequency band, which the terminal responds to the second communication request, from the associated frequency bands in various ways, for example, the frequency band may be randomly selected from the associated frequency bands to serve as the second frequency band, which the terminal responds to the second communication request.

For another example, the terminal may classify the associated frequency band of the first frequency band in advance according to the type of the communication session, so as to determine the communication session type, such as a voice call type, a data communication type, and the like, corresponding to the associated frequency band of the first frequency band. In this way, the terminal may analyze the second communication request to determine the type of the communication session requested to be established with the terminal, and further, the terminal may select a frequency band from the associated frequency bands of the first frequency band according to the type, and use the frequency band as the second frequency band for the terminal to respond to the second communication request.

For another example, the determining, by the terminal and the base station, the second frequency band in which the terminal responds to the second communication request from the associated frequency band of the first frequency band by cooperating with the base station, specifically, the determining, by the step "determining, from the associated frequency band, the second frequency band in which the terminal responds to the second communication request", may include:

generating a frequency band checking request according to the first frequency band and the associated frequency band;

sending a frequency band verification request to a base station to trigger the base station to verify the associated frequency band according to the frequency band verification request;

and acquiring a check result returned by the base station, and determining a second frequency band of the terminal responding to the second communication request from the associated frequency band according to the check result.

The frequency band verification request is request data sent by the terminal to the base station, and the request data may be specifically used to request the base station to verify an associated frequency band, so as to determine whether the terminal can occupy the associated frequency band to establish and perform the second communication session when the terminal currently occupies the first frequency band to perform the first communication session.

The terminal may send a frequency band verification request generated according to the first frequency band and the associated frequency band to the base station, so as to trigger the base station to verify the associated frequency band according to the frequency band verification request, so that the terminal may determine, according to a verification result returned by the base station, a second frequency band in which the second communication session is established and performed from the associated frequency band of the first frequency band.

For example, the first frequency band may be specifically B1, the associated frequency bands of the first frequency band in the terminal include B3, B8, and B20, and the associated frequency band combination of the first frequency band includes the following combinations: { B1, B3}, { B1, B8}, { B1, B20} are examples. The terminal may generate a band checking request according to the first band B1 and the bands B3, B8 and B20 associated with the first band, and send the band checking request to the base station, for example, the band checking request may indicate that the terminal can support a following dual-band combination: { B1, B3}, { B1, B8} and { B1, B20 }.

Correspondingly, the base station end may receive a frequency band verification request sent by the terminal, and obtain the dual-frequency combination that the terminal can support according to the frequency band verification request. Further, the base station end may determine the dual-frequency combination that the terminal can use from the dual-frequency combinations, and return the result to the terminal, so that the terminal may determine which associated frequency band combination of the first frequency band is used according to the information returned by the base station, and is used to simultaneously occupy the associated frequency band in the associated frequency band combination to establish and perform the second communication session when the terminal currently occupies the first frequency band to perform the first communication session.

103. And according to the first frequency band and the second frequency band, the terminal is triggered to respond to the second communication request to carry out communication in the first communication state.

After determining the second frequency band used by the terminal to establish and conduct the second communication session, the terminal can continue to occupy the first frequency band for the first communication session, and establish and conduct the second communication session by using the second frequency band, so as to realize that the terminal responds to the second communication request to conduct communication in the first communication state.

Due to the conventional design of the rf antenna architecture in practical applications, each frequency band is connected to an antenna through an integrated switch at the front end of the antenna. The integrated switch allows for the connection of a radio frequency link of one frequency band to the antenna at a time, but does not allow for the simultaneous connection of two or more links to the antenna. For example, taking 3 frequency bands as an example, referring to fig. 3, in the figure, frequency band 1, frequency band 2 and frequency band 3 have corresponding links respectively, and are connected to the antenna through an integrated switch (i.e. the switch in fig. 3). Wherein, the Transceiver in fig. 3 refers to a radio frequency Transceiver, for example, may be specifically a radio frequency master chip; SAW is an abbreviation of Surface Acoustic Wave, and refers to a Surface Acoustic Wave filter, which can be used for receiving devices on a channel and filtering out interference signals outside a frequency band; PA is an abbreviation of PowerAmplifier, referring to power amplifier.

Therefore, in order to enable the terminal to simultaneously occupy the first frequency band and the second frequency band for communication, it is necessary to enable the radio frequency antenna architecture to correspondingly support simultaneous operation of the first frequency band and the second frequency band, and in an embodiment, the function may be implemented by combining a link corresponding to the first frequency band and a link corresponding to the second frequency band, specifically, the step "triggering the terminal to respond to the second communication request for communication in the first communication state according to the first frequency band and the second frequency band" may include:

determining a first link corresponding to a first frequency band and a second link corresponding to a second frequency band;

combining the first link and the second link to obtain a processed link;

and through the processed link, the triggering terminal responds to the second communication request to carry out communication in the first communication state.

The first link corresponding to the first frequency band refers to a link in the radio frequency antenna architecture for transmitting a signal corresponding to the first frequency band. Similarly, the second link corresponding to the second frequency band refers to a link in the rf antenna architecture for transmitting signals corresponding to the second frequency band.

It should be noted that, since the number of the first frequency bands is not limited in the present application, and the number of the second frequency bands is not limited, there is no number limit for the first links corresponding to the first frequency bands, and there is no number limit for the second links corresponding to the second frequency bands.

As an example, referring to fig. 3, taking the first frequency band as "frequency band 1" in the figure, and taking the second frequency band as "frequency band 2" in the figure as an example, it may be determined that the first link corresponding to the first frequency band may include a transmission path from the PA to the duplexer 1, a reception path from the duplexer 1 to the SAW1, and a path between the duplexer 1 and the switch; also, it may be determined that the second link corresponding to the second frequency band may include a transmission path between the PA to the duplexer 2, a reception path between the duplexer 2 to the SAW2, and a path between the duplexer 2 and the switch.

After determining the first link corresponding to the first frequency band and the second link corresponding to the second frequency band, the first link and the second link may be further combined to combine the first link and the second link into one path and then enter the integrated switch, so that the radio frequency antenna architecture may support simultaneous operation of the first frequency band and the second frequency band.

In the present application, there may be multiple manners of merging the first link and the second link, for example, different link merging modes may be designed according to the number of links to be merged, so that multiple optional link merging modes can be provided along with the increase of the number of links to be merged and the increase of the difficulty of merging the links, and the efficiency of merging the links is improved. Specifically, the step "combining the first link and the second link to obtain the processed link" may include:

determining a link merging mode of a first link and a second link;

and according to the link combination mode, combining the first link and the second link to obtain a processed link.

The link merging mode of the first link and the second link refers to a mode to be followed by merging the first link and the second link into one path. For example, the link merge mode may include using only multiplexers to merge the first link with the second link; for another example, the link merge mode may include merging the first link with the second link by using a frequency divider in combination with a multiplexer; and so on.

The multiplexer is a generic name of devices such as a duplexer, a triplexer, and a quadplexer. The multiplexer has a single input port and a plurality of output ports. The multiplexer is a set of non-overlapping filters that in combination ensure no loading of each other and a high degree of isolation between the outputs.

In the present application, there are various ways to determine the link merging mode of the first link and the second link, for example, the link merging mode of the first link and the second link may be determined according to the number of links to be merged, for example, it may be set that when the number of links to be merged is less than or equal to 3, the first link and the second link are merged only by using the multiplexer, and when the number of links to be merged is greater than 3, the first link and the second link are merged by using the frequency divider and the multiplexer in combination. For another example, the link merging mode of the first link and the second link may be determined according to a frequency difference between the first frequency band and the second frequency band, for example, if the frequency difference between the first segment and the second frequency band reaches a preset frequency difference threshold, the first link and the second link are merged by using the frequency divider and the multiplexer in combination; otherwise, only the multiplexer is used to perform the merging process on the first link and the second link.

The above is only an example of how to determine the link merging mode of the first link and the second link, and other ways of determining the link merging mode may also be available in practical applications, which is not limited in this application.

After determining the link merging mode between the first link and the second link, the method may further perform merging processing on the first link and the second link according to the link merging mode, specifically, the step "perform merging processing on the first link and the second link according to the link merging mode to obtain the processed link" may include:

determining a link combination module required by link combination according to the link combination mode;

and combining the first link and the second link through a link combining module to obtain a processed link.

The link merging module is a module required to implement merging processing on the first link and the second link, and for example, the link merging module may include a multiplexer, a frequency divider, and the like. It should be noted that the multiplexer is a generic term for devices such as a duplexer, a triplexer, and a quadplexer.

For example, referring to fig. 3, the first link may be a radio frequency link corresponding to a frequency band 1, and the radio frequency link may specifically include a path from the duplexer 1 to the switch (for convenience, it may be simply referred to as a first path); the second link may be a radio frequency link corresponding to the frequency band 2, and the radio frequency link may specifically include a path from the duplexer 2 to the switch (for convenience, it may be simply referred to as a second path). Taking the link merging mode, specifically, only using the multiplexer to merge the first link and the second link, referring to fig. 4, a quadplexer may be added to the first link and the second link, and the first path and the second path are combined into one path by the quadplexer and then enter the integrated switch (i.e., the switch in fig. 4). Therefore, the radio frequency antenna framework supports the frequency band 1 and the frequency band 2 to work simultaneously, the condition that only one frequency band is needed to work is not influenced, and at the moment, the other path only needs no signal transmission.

As another example, a radio link corresponding to the frequency band 4 may be added on the basis of fig. 3, and the radio links to be merged may include a radio link corresponding to the frequency band 1, a radio link corresponding to the frequency band 2, and a radio link corresponding to the frequency band 4 (for example, the first frequency band may be the frequency band 1, the first link is the radio link corresponding to the frequency band 1, the second frequency band may include the frequency band 2 and the frequency band 4, the second link may include the radio link corresponding to the frequency band 2 and the frequency band 4, or, for example, the first frequency band may include the frequency band 1 and the frequency band 2, the first link includes the radio link corresponding to the frequency band 1 and the radio link corresponding to the frequency band 2, the second frequency band may be the frequency band 4, the second link is the radio link corresponding to the frequency band 4, and so on), and the link merging mode is specifically to use only the multiplexer to merge the first link and the second link as an example, referring to fig. 5, a hexaplexer may be added to the rf links to be combined, and the three rf links to be combined are combined into one path by the hexaplexer and then enter the integrated switch (i.e., the switch in fig. 5). Therefore, the radio frequency antenna framework can support the frequency band 1, the frequency band 2 and the frequency band 4 to work simultaneously, the condition that only a plurality of frequency bands need to work is not influenced, and at the moment, radio frequency links corresponding to other frequency bands can be used as long as no signal is transmitted.

As another example, a radio frequency link corresponding to a frequency band 4 may be added on the basis of fig. 3, and the first link may be a radio frequency link corresponding to a frequency band 1, and the radio frequency link may specifically include a path from the duplexer 1 to the switch (for convenience, it may be simply referred to as a first path); the second link may be a radio frequency link corresponding to the frequency band 2, and the radio frequency link may specifically include a path (for convenience, may be simply referred to as a second path) between the duplexer 2 and the switch; and for example, in the link merging mode, specifically, the first link and the second link are merged by using the frequency divider and the multiplexer in combination, referring to fig. 6, the first path and the second path may be combined into one path by adding the duplexer and the frequency divider to the rf link to be merged, and then enter the integrated switch (i.e., the switch in fig. 6). Therefore, the radio frequency antenna framework supports the frequency band 1 and the frequency band 2 to work simultaneously, the condition that only one frequency band is needed to work is not influenced, and at the moment, the other path only needs no signal transmission.

In this application, the terminal may establish and perform the second communication session as a response to the second communication request when the terminal is in the first communication state, that is, the terminal may implement the first communication session and the second communication session simultaneously. In an embodiment, considering that in practical applications, when the terminal performs communication, a signal conversion process may be included, for example, a user may perform a voice conversation during a communication session through the terminal, and therefore, the process may specifically include a process of converting a voice signal into an electrical signal; for another example, the user may perform a video session during the communication session through the terminal, and therefore, the process may specifically include a conversion process between an optical signal and an electrical signal; and so on. In order to improve data security and user experience, under the condition that a first communication session and a second communication session are simultaneously performed in a terminal, a signal conversion module can be set so as to prevent communication data of a user in a certain communication session from leaking to other communication sessions. Specifically, the terminal may include a signal conversion module, which may be configured to perform signal conversion when the terminal is in a communication state; ) The step of triggering the terminal to perform communication in response to the second communication request in the first communication state may include:

determining a target communication session of a signal conversion module from a first communication session and a second communication session, wherein the first communication session is a corresponding communication session of the terminal in a first communication state, and the second communication session is a communication session established by the terminal in response to a second communication request;

and the trigger terminal performs signal conversion aiming at the target communication session through the signal conversion module in the first communication state and performs communication according to the conversion result.

The signal conversion module is configured to perform signal conversion when the terminal is in a communication state, for example, the signal conversion involved in the communication session may include a process of interconversion between a voice signal and an electrical signal, and the signal conversion module may include a speaker, an earphone, a microphone, and the like; for another example, the signal conversion involved in the communication session may include a conversion process of an optical signal and an electrical signal, and the signal conversion module may include a camera, etc.

In this application, the signal conversion module may perform signal conversion for the target communication session, for example, if the target communication session of the signal conversion module is specifically the second communication session, the signal conversion module may perform signal conversion for the second communication session, so that the second communication session can implement the communication session according to the signal conversion result of the signal conversion module. It should be noted that, in the present application, in order to ensure data security and user experience, if a communication session is not a target communication session of the signal conversion module, the communication session cannot call the signal conversion module to perform signal conversion, nor transmit a signal acquired by the signal conversion module or a converted signal, so that the communication session in the terminal is not suspended or ended, but the communication session cannot transmit a related signal of the signal conversion module, thereby preventing session data in the target communication session from being leaked to the communication session.

For example, for a terminal that has already established the first communication session and is in the first communication state, if it is detected that the terminal responds to the second communication request to establish the second communication session, the target communication session of the terminal is changed from the first communication session to the second communication session. For another example, for a terminal that has established a first communication session and a second communication session simultaneously, a communication session that a user is currently in a session may be determined from the first communication session and the second communication session, and the communication session may be used as a target communication session of the signal conversion module. For another example, the first communication session and the second communication session may be alternately used as the target communication session according to the method of evenly allocating time, and the occupied time is the same.

The above description is only an example of how to determine the target communication session of the signal conversion module from the first communication session and the second communication session, and other manners of determining the target communication session of the signal conversion module from the first communication session and the second communication session may also be available in practical applications, which is not limited in the present application.

The terminal in the first communication state can be triggered after the target communication session of the signal conversion module is determined, signal conversion is carried out on the target communication session through the signal conversion module, the target communication session can communicate according to the conversion result of the signal conversion, meanwhile, the signal conversion module cannot be called for the communication session of the non-target communication session in the first communication session and the second communication session, or the signal collected by the signal conversion module or the converted signal is transmitted, so that the conversation data in the target communication session is prevented from being leaked to the communication session, and the data security and the user experience of terminal communication are improved.

As can be seen from the above, in this embodiment, if the terminal currently in the first communication state receives the second communication request, the first frequency band corresponding to the terminal in the first communication state is determined; determining a second frequency band of the terminal responding to the second communication request according to the first frequency band; and according to the first frequency band and the second frequency band, the terminal is triggered to respond to the second communication request to carry out communication in the first communication state.

In addition, the scheme can determine the frequency band combination of the multipath communication by the cooperation of the terminal and the base station, so that the success rate of the multipath communication can be improved, the current communication method is further improved, and the communication experience of a user is improved. In addition, the scheme provides a plurality of modes for realizing link combination on the radio frequency antenna architecture, and provides a plurality of feasible schemes for realizing multi-path communication. In addition, the scheme also provides a setting method aiming at the signal conversion module when a plurality of communication sessions are carried out simultaneously, so that the problem that the conversation data in the target communication session is leaked to other communication sessions is avoided, and the data security and the user experience of terminal communication are improved.

The method described in the above examples is further described in detail below by way of example.

In this embodiment, an example in which the communication device is integrated in the terminal is described, as shown in fig. 7, a communication method specifically includes the following processes:

201. and if the terminal in the first communication state receives the second communication request, determining a first frequency band corresponding to the terminal in the first communication state.

As an example, the terminal may currently establish a first communication session, the first communication session may be data communication, such as initiating a voice conversation or a video conversation through an instant messaging application, and the current first communication session in the terminal may be in an ongoing state, so that the terminal may be in a first communication state corresponding to the first communication session. In addition, the terminal currently in the first communication state may receive a second communication request, and the second communication request may specifically be a request for establishing a voice call with the terminal. As an example, it may be determined that the first frequency band corresponding to the terminal in the first communication state is B1, that is, the terminal performs the first communication session by occupying B1.

202. Acquiring an associated frequency band combination of a first frequency band in a terminal, wherein the associated frequency band combination comprises at least one associated frequency band of the first frequency band in the terminal.

By way of example, a terminal may support multiple frequency bands, e.g., the frequency bands supported by the terminal may include B1, B3, B7, B20, B8, B28, etc. At the same time, the terminal can support the independent work of each frequency band, and can also support the simultaneous work of at least two frequency bands. Taking the example that the terminal supports simultaneous operation of two frequency bands, for example, the terminal may support simultaneous operation of the following two frequency bands: combinations of B1 with B3, B1 with B8, B1 with B20, B3 with B20, B7 with B28, and the like. It should be noted that in practical applications, what combinations the terminal can specifically support needs to be determined by combining the support capability of the rf chip and the building method of the rf antenna architecture.

203. And determining a second frequency band of the terminal responding to the second communication request from the associated frequency band.

Specifically, after determining the associated frequency band combination of the first frequency band, the terminal may provide the associated frequency band combination to the base station, and determine, together with the base station, the dual-frequency combination to be used next by the terminal. As an example, the associated band combination of the first band may include: b1 and B3, B1 and B8, B1 and B20. The terminal may generate a band verification request indicating that dual-band combinations that the terminal may support include B1 and B3, B1 and B8, and B1 and B20, and transmit the band verification request to the base station. Correspondingly, the base station may decide on the dual frequency combination used by the terminal and make the terminal aware of the decision by means of a responsive interaction with the terminal. Specifically, the base station may return a check result to the terminal, where the check result indicates the dual-frequency combination used by the terminal, for example, if the base station determines that the dual-frequency combination used by the terminal is specifically B1 and B3, the terminal may obtain a check result of the range of the base station, and determine that the second frequency band used by the terminal to respond to the second communication request is specifically B3 according to the check result.

204. And according to the first frequency band and the second frequency band, the terminal is triggered to respond to the second communication request to carry out communication in the first communication state.

For example, the first frequency band may be specifically B1, after determining that the second frequency band may be specifically B3, the terminal performs data communication of the first communication session using B1, and performs voice communication of the second communication session using B3. It should be noted that, at this time, the terminal communicates with the two frequency bands simultaneously, so that it is ensured that the voice call is not interrupted, but also the data communication is not interrupted.

In one embodiment, it is contemplated that a speaker, earpiece, microphone, etc. in the terminal may be used for voice-to-electrical signal conversion of the voice telephony link in the second communication session when the terminal establishes and conducts the second communication session. When the second communication session is over, i.e., after the voice call is over, the terminal may resume the speaker) receiver, microphone, etc. for voice-to-electrical signal conversion for data communication in the first communication session. Specifically, after the user connects the voice call in the second communication session, a speaker, an earphone, a microphone, and the like of the terminal may be set for the voice call in the second communication session, but not for the data call in the first communication session, so as to avoid mutual interference between two call contents, privacy disclosure, and the like. And when the voice call in the second communication session is finished, the terminal can recover the loudspeaker, the receiver, the microphone and the like for the data call in the first communication session.

In another embodiment, considering the rf antenna architecture, the conventional design is to have one link per frequency band and then connect to the antenna through an integrated switch at the front end of the antenna. As shown in fig. 3, the integrated switch may allow rf links of one frequency band at a time to be connected to the antenna, but there is no way to allow two or more links to be connected to the antenna at the same time. In this application, a quadruplex device may be added to two radio frequency links that need to work simultaneously, and the quadruplex device synthesizes one path of radio frequency link and then enters the integrated switch, for example, referring to fig. 4, in fig. 4, the quadruplex device synthesizes one path of radio frequency link corresponding to the frequency band 1 and the frequency band 2 and then enters the integrated switch (i.e., the switch in fig. 4). Therefore, the radio frequency antenna architecture can support 2 frequency bands to work simultaneously. And the situation when only one frequency band is needed to work is not influenced, and at the moment, the other path only needs no signal transmission.

As can be seen from the above, in the embodiment of the present application, when the terminal has already established a communication session (which may be referred to as a first communication session for distinction) and is currently in a communication state (which may be referred to as a first communication state for distinction), a new communication request (which may be referred to as a second communication request for distinction and understanding) is responded, and a communication session corresponding to the second communication request (which may be referred to as a second communication session for distinction) is correspondingly established, and the first communication session is not closed due to the establishment of the second communication session. Specifically, in the scheme, a frequency band (which may be referred to as a second frequency band for distinction) that can be occupied by a second communication session to be established may be determined according to a frequency band occupied by the first communication session (which may be referred to as the first frequency band for distinction), and the first communication session is further maintained through the first frequency band, and the second communication session is established and performed through the second frequency band, so that the terminal can perform communication in response to the second communication request in the first communication state.

In addition, the scheme can simultaneously carry out voice call and data call by specific radio frequency antenna architecture design and software selection flow during voice call access, thereby ensuring that the data call is not interrupted.
