Detailed Description

The following description of the embodiments of the present application will be made clearly and fully with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which embodiments of the application are shown, however, in which embodiments are shown, by way of illustration, only, and not in any way all embodiments of the application. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the application without making any inventive effort, are intended to fall within the scope of the 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 performed by the terminal or may be performed by the terminal in conjunction with a server. The terminal may be, but is not limited to, a personal computer, tablet computer, notebook computer, desktop computer, smart television, smart phone, smart speaker, smart watch, VR/AR device, vehicle-mounted terminal, smart home, wearable electronic device, etc. The terminal and the server may be directly or indirectly connected through wired or wireless communication, and the present 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, so as to implement the communication method according to the embodiment of the present application. As an example, the embodiment of the application may take a computer device as an example to introduce a communication method.

Referring to fig. 1, the terminal 10 may receive a second communication request sent by the base station 20 when the terminal is currently in a 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 the second frequency band of the terminal 10 in response to the second communication request according to the first frequency band, for example, the terminal 10 may determine the second frequency band by cooperating with the base station 20, so that the terminal may respond to the second communication request to perform communication in the first communication state according to the first frequency band and the second frequency band, where the second frequency band is the 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 detailed description is given, respectively, of the embodiments, and the description sequence of the following embodiments is not to be taken as a limitation of the preferred sequence of the embodiments.

The communication method provided by the embodiment of the application can be executed by the terminal or jointly executed by the server and the terminal; the embodiment of the application is described by taking a communication method executed by a terminal as an example.

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

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

Wherein the terminal can be considered to be in a communication state when the terminal establishes a communication session and the communication session is ongoing. The communication session can be established in various manners, for example, the communication session can comprise a voice call, such as a landline call, a mobile phone call, an interphone call, and the like; as another example, data communications may be included, such as initiating a voice conversation or a video conversation via an instant messaging application, and the like.

In the present application, the communication state and the communication session may be in a one-to-one correspondence, that is, if the terminal establishes a communication session and the communication session is currently in progress, the terminal may be considered to be currently in the communication state corresponding to the communication session. Thus, 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, the terminal may establish at least one communication session before receiving the second communication request, where the communication session 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 be specifically in the form of a voice call or a data communication, and for distinguishing, 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 distinguishing, a communication session currently established by a 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 being performed by the terminal may be determined as a first communication state currently being performed by the terminal.

In the present application, a communication request received when a terminal is in a 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, a 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 the frequency range of electromagnetic waves. In practical applications, the terminal may support multiple frequency bands, for example, the frequency bands supported by the terminal may include B1, B3, B7, B20, B8, B28, and so on. In the present application, for the sake of distinction, the frequency band corresponding to the terminal in the first communication state may be referred to as the first frequency band.

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 the form of a voice call or a data communication, etc., and for distinguishing, 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, where 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 a voice call or a data communication, etc. In this example, the terminal may determine a frequency band corresponding to the terminal in the first communication state, and for 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 the present application, for distinction, a frequency band corresponding to a second communication session established by a terminal 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 a 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 application, since the rf antenna structure can work in multiple frequency bands at the same time, taking two frequency bands as an example, signals can be transmitted in two rf channels at the same time. 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 to communicate according to the second frequency band when in the first communication state.

The method for determining the second frequency band of the terminal responding to the second communication request can be various, 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.

The manner of determining the second frequency band responding to the second communication request by the terminal according to the first frequency band may be various, for example, the terminal may analyze the second communication request to determine the type of the communication session established between the request and the terminal, such as a voice call type, a data communication type, etc.; further, a second frequency band of the terminal responding to the second communication request may be determined from frequency bands of which the terminal can also support simultaneous operation according to the type.

For another example, considering that the terminal can support the radio frequency combination working simultaneously in practical application, the radio frequency combination can be specifically determined by combining the radio frequency chip supporting capability and the radio frequency antenna architecture building mode; in addition, the specific selection of which frequency band is used for signal transmission and implementing communication according to the frequency band, besides considering the radio frequency combination supported by the terminal, the terminal and the base station can also cooperate, so that the step of determining the second frequency band of the terminal responding to the second communication request according to the first frequency band can 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 bands.

The associated frequency band of the first frequency band in the terminal refers to a frequency band which can support to work simultaneously with the first frequency band in the terminal. For example, taking the first frequency band as B1 as an example, and the frequency bands capable of supporting the operation with B1 in the terminal include B3, B8, B20, and so on, it may be determined that the associated frequency band of B1 in the terminal includes B3, B8, B20, and so on.

The associated frequency band combination of the first frequency band in the terminal is a set composed of the first frequency band in the terminal and the associated frequency band of the first frequency band, and the terminal can support each frequency band in the associated frequency band combination to work simultaneously. 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 can support the first frequency band and each associated frequency band of the first frequency band to operate simultaneously.

As an example, the first frequency band may be specifically B1, where the associated frequency band of the first frequency band in the terminal includes B3, B8, and B20, and the associated frequency band combination of the first frequency band includes two frequency bands, for example, 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, a frequency band to be occupied by the terminal for establishing the second communication session, namely, the second frequency band, can be determined from the associated frequency bands of the first frequency band. In the present application, the manner of determining the second frequency band of the terminal responding to the second communication request from the associated frequency bands by the terminal may be various, for example, the frequency band may be randomly selected from the associated frequency bands as the second frequency band of the terminal responding to the second communication request.

For another example, the terminal may classify the associated frequency band of the first frequency band according to the type of the communication session in advance, 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 can analyze the second communication request to determine the type of the communication session established with the terminal, and further, the terminal can select the frequency band from the associated frequency bands of the first frequency band according to the type as the second frequency band of the terminal responding to the second communication request.

For another example, the determining, by the terminal, the second frequency band of the terminal in response to the second communication request from the associated frequency bands of the first frequency band through cooperation with the base station, and specifically, the step of determining, by the terminal, the second frequency band of the terminal in response to the second communication request from the associated frequency bands may include:

Generating a frequency band verification request according to the first frequency band and the associated frequency band;

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

and acquiring a verification 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 bands according to the verification result.

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

The terminal can 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 can determine a second frequency band for establishing and carrying out a second communication session from the associated frequency band of the first frequency band according to a verification result returned by the base station.

As an example, the first frequency band may be specifically B1, the associated frequency band of the first frequency band in the terminal includes 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} is an example. The terminal may generate a frequency band check request according to the first frequency band B1 and the associated frequency bands B3, B8 and B20 of the first frequency band and send the frequency band check request to the base station, for example, the frequency band check request may indicate that the terminal can support the following dual-band combination: { B1, B3}, { B1, B8}, and { B1, B20}.

Correspondingly, the base station end can receive the frequency band check request sent by the terminal and learn the dual-frequency combination supported by the terminal according to the frequency band check request. Further, the base station side can determine the dual-frequency combination which can be used by the terminal from the dual-frequency combinations, and return the result to the terminal, so that the terminal can determine which associated frequency band combination of the first frequency band to use according to the information returned by the base station, and the terminal can be used for simultaneously occupying the associated frequency band in the associated frequency band combination to establish and perform the second communication session under the condition of currently occupying the first frequency band to perform the first communication session.

103. And according to the first frequency band and the second frequency band, triggering the terminal to respond to the second communication request for 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 enable the terminal to respond to the second communication request for communication in the first communication state.

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

Therefore, in order to enable the terminal to occupy the first frequency band and the second frequency band simultaneously for communication, it is necessary to enable the radio frequency antenna architecture to correspondingly support the first frequency band and the second frequency band to operate simultaneously, in an embodiment, the function may be implemented by combining the link corresponding to the first frequency band with the link corresponding to the second frequency band, and specifically, the step of "triggering the terminal to respond to the second communication request 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 triggering the terminal to respond to the second communication request to communicate in the first communication state through the processed link.

The first link corresponding to the first frequency band refers to a link in the radio frequency antenna architecture, which is used for transmitting signals corresponding to the first frequency band. Similarly, the second link corresponding to the second frequency band refers to a link in the rf antenna structure 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 and the number of the second frequency bands is not limited in the present application, the number of the first links corresponding to the first frequency bands is also unlimited and the number of the second links corresponding to the second frequency bands is also unlimited.

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

And when the first link corresponding to the first frequency band and the second link corresponding to the second frequency band are determined, the first link and the second link are further combined, so that the first link and the second link are combined into one path and then enter the integrated switch, and the radio frequency antenna structure can support the first frequency band and the second frequency band to work simultaneously.

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

Determining a link merging mode of the first link and the second link;

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

The link combining mode of the first link and the second link refers to a mode to be followed by combining the first link and the second link into one path. For example, the link merge mode may include using only a multiplexer to merge the first link with the second link; as 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; etc.

The multiplexer is a common name of equipment such as a duplexer, a triplexer, a quadruplex and the like. 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 that they are not loaded onto each other and that the outputs are highly isolated from each other.

In the present application, there may be various manners of determining the link combining mode of the first link and the second link, for example, the link combining mode of the first link and the second link may be determined according to the number of links to be combined, for example, when the number of links to be combined is less than or equal to 3, it may be set that only the multiplexer is used to combine the first link and the second link, and when the number of links to be combined is greater than 3, the frequency divider and the multiplexer are used to combine the first link and the second link. For another example, the link combining mode of the first link and the second link may be determined according to the 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 frequency divider and the multiplexer are used in combination to combine the first link and the second link; otherwise, only the multiplexer is used to combine the first link and the second link.

The above only makes examples on how to determine the link combination mode of the first link and the second link, and other manners of determining the link combination mode are also possible in practical applications, which is not limited by the present application.

After determining the link combining mode between the first link and the second link, the combining process may be further performed on the first link and the second link according to the link combining mode, and specifically, the step of "combining the first link and the second link according to the link combining mode to obtain a processed link" may include:

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

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

The link combining module is a module required for combining the first link and the second link, and may include a multiplexer, a frequency divider, and the like. It should be noted that the multiplexer is a generic term for a duplexer, a triplexer, and a quad multiplexer.

As an example, referring to fig. 3, the first link may be a radio frequency link corresponding to the frequency band 1, and the radio frequency link may specifically include a path between the duplexer 1 and the switch (for convenience, 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 between the duplexer 2 and the switch (for convenience, may be simply referred to as a second path). In the link combining mode, specifically, only a multiplexer is used to combine the first link and the second link, referring to fig. 4, a quad may be added to the first link and the second link, and the quad is used to combine the first path and the second path into one path and then enter the integrated switch (i.e. the switch in fig. 4). In this way, the radio frequency antenna structure supports the simultaneous operation of the frequency band 1 and the frequency band 2, and the condition that only one frequency band is required to operate is not affected, and the other path only needs no signal transmission.

As another example, the radio frequency links corresponding to the frequency band 4 may be added on the basis of fig. 3, and the radio frequency links to be combined may include the radio frequency link corresponding to the frequency band 1, the radio frequency link corresponding to the frequency band 2, and the radio frequency link corresponding to the frequency band 4 (for example, the first frequency band may be the radio frequency link corresponding to the frequency band 1, and the second frequency band may include the radio frequency link corresponding to the frequency band 2 and the radio frequency link corresponding to the frequency band 4, and for example, the first frequency band may include the radio frequency link corresponding to the frequency band 1 and the radio frequency link corresponding to the frequency band 2, and the second frequency band may be the radio frequency link corresponding to the frequency band 4, and so on, and the first frequency link and the second frequency link may be combined by using only a multiplexer, which is referred to in fig. 5, the radio frequency link to be combined may be integrated into the switch after the radio frequency link to be combined by adding a six-way to the radio frequency link to be combined, and the switch is integrated into the switch 5. In this way, the radio frequency antenna structure can support the simultaneous operation of the frequency band 1, the frequency band 2 and the frequency band 4, and the condition that only a plurality of frequency bands are needed to operate is not influenced, and at the moment, the radio frequency links corresponding to other frequency bands only need no signal transmission.

As another example, a radio frequency link corresponding to the frequency band 4 may be added on the basis of fig. 3, and the first link may be a radio frequency link corresponding to the frequency band 1, where the radio frequency link may specifically include a path between the duplexer 1 and the switch (for convenience, may be simply referred to as a first path); the second link may be a radio frequency link corresponding to the frequency band 2, where the radio frequency link specifically may include a path between the duplexer 2 and the switch (for convenience, may be simply referred to as a second path); in addition, in the link combining mode, specifically, by combining the frequency divider and the multiplexer to combine the first link and the second link, 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 radio frequency link to be combined and then enter the integrated switch (i.e. the switch in fig. 6). In this way, the radio frequency antenna structure supports the simultaneous operation of the frequency band 1 and the frequency band 2, and the condition that only one frequency band is required to operate is not affected, and the other path only needs no signal transmission.

In the present application, the terminal can establish and perform the second communication session when in the first communication state, as a response to the second communication request, that is, the terminal can perform the first communication session and the second communication session simultaneously. In an embodiment, considering that in practical application, when the terminal is in communication, a signal conversion process may be included, for example, a user may perform a voice dialogue through the terminal in a communication session process, so the process may specifically include a process of converting a voice signal and an electrical signal into each other; as another example, the user may perform a video session during a communication session through the terminal, so the process may specifically include a process of converting an optical signal into an electrical signal; etc. In order to improve data security and user experience, under the condition that the first communication session and the second communication session are performed simultaneously in the terminal, the signal conversion module can be set so as to prevent communication data of a user in a certain communication session from leaking into other communication sessions. In particular, the terminal may include a signal conversion module that may be used to perform signal conversion when the terminal is in a communication state; ) The step of "triggering the terminal to respond to the second communication request to communicate in the first communication state" may include:

Determining a target communication session of the signal conversion module from a first communication session and a second communication session, wherein the first communication session is a communication session corresponding to 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 triggering terminal performs signal conversion on the target communication session through the signal conversion module in the first communication state, and communicates according to the conversion result.

The signal conversion module is used for performing signal conversion when the terminal is in a communication state, for example, the signal conversion involved in the communication session can include a mutual conversion process of a voice signal and an electric signal, and the signal conversion module can include a loudspeaker, a receiver, a microphone and the like; as another example, the signal conversion involved in the communication session may include a process of converting an optical signal into an electrical signal, and the signal conversion module may include a camera or the like.

In the present application, the signal conversion module performs 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 performs signal conversion for the second communication session, so that the second communication session can implement a 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, and cannot transmit a signal collected or converted by the signal conversion module, so that the communication session in the terminal is not hung up or ended, but the communication session cannot transmit a relevant signal of the signal conversion module, thereby avoiding session data in the target communication session from leaking to the communication session.

The method for determining the target communication session of the signal conversion module from the first communication session and the second communication session may be various, for example, for a terminal that has established the first communication session and is in the first communication state, if it is detected that the terminal establishes the second communication session in response to the second communication request, 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 both the first communication session and the second communication session, the communication session in which the user is currently in a conversation may be determined from the first communication session and the second communication session, and the communication session may be used as the 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 distributing the time, and the occupied time is the same.

The above only makes an example on how to determine the target communication session of the signal conversion module from the first communication session and the second communication session, and other ways of determining the target communication session of the signal conversion module from the first communication session and the second communication session are also possible in practical application, which is not limited by 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, the 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 signals collected by the signal conversion module or the converted signals are transmitted, so that dialogue data in the target communication session is prevented from being leaked to the communication session, and the data safety and 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 may be 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, triggering the terminal to respond to the second communication request for communication in the first communication state.

In addition, the scheme can cooperatively determine the frequency band combination of the multi-path communication by the terminal and the base station, so that the success rate of the multi-path communication can be improved, the current communication method is improved, and the communication experience of a user is improved. In addition, various modes for realizing link combination on the radio frequency antenna architecture are provided in the scheme, and various feasible schemes are provided for realizing multipath communication. In addition, the scheme also provides a setting method for the signal conversion module when a plurality of communication sessions are performed simultaneously, so that dialogue data in the target communication session is prevented from being leaked to other communication sessions, and the data security and user experience of terminal communication are improved.

According to the method described in the above examples, examples are further detailed below.

In this embodiment, an example of integrating the communication device into the terminal will be described, as shown in fig. 7, and a specific process of the communication method is as follows:

201. and if the terminal currently 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, which may be data communication, such as initiating a voice conversation or a video conversation through an instant messaging application, etc., and the current first communication session in the terminal may be an ongoing state, so the terminal may be in a first communication state corresponding to the first communication session. And, the terminal currently in the first communication state may receive a second communication request, and the second communication request may specifically be a request to establish 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. And acquiring an associated frequency band combination of the first frequency band in the terminal, wherein the associated frequency band combination comprises at least one associated frequency band of the first frequency band in the terminal.

As an example, a terminal may support a plurality of frequency bands, for example, the frequency bands supported by the terminal may include B1, B3, B7, B20, B8, B28, and the like. 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 two frequency bands to operate simultaneously, for example, the terminal can support the following two frequency bands to operate simultaneously: b1 and B3, B1 and B8, B1 and B20, B3 and B20, B7 and B28, and the like. It should be noted that in practical applications, which combinations the terminal can specifically support, the combination of the radio frequency chip supporting capability and the radio frequency antenna architecture building mode are required to be determined.

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

Specifically, the terminal may provide the associated frequency band combination of the first frequency band to the base station after determining the associated frequency band combination, and determine, with the base station, a dual-frequency combination that is used by the terminal next. As an example, the associated frequency band combination of the first frequency band may include: b1 and B3, B1 and B8, and B1 and B20. The terminal may generate a frequency band check request and send the frequency band check request to the base station, where the frequency band check request indicates that the dual-band combination that the terminal may support includes B1 and B3, B1 and B8, and B1 and B20. Correspondingly, the base station may decide on the dual-frequency combination used by the terminal and learn the decision by interacting with the terminal in reply. Specifically, the base station may return a verification result to the terminal, where the verification result indicates a 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 the verification result of the range of the base station, and determine, according to the verification result, that the second frequency band used by the terminal to respond to the second communication request is specifically B3.

204. And according to the first frequency band and the second frequency band, triggering the terminal to respond to the second communication request for communication in the first communication state.

As an 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 is worth noting that at this time, the terminal is in communication with two frequency bands at the same time, so that voice communication can be ensured, and data communication is ensured not to be 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 call link in the second communication session when the terminal establishes and conducts the second communication session. When the second communication session is finished, i.e. after the voice call is finished, the terminal may resume the speaker), the earpiece, the microphone, etc. are used for voice-to-electrical signal conversion of the data communication in the first communication session. Specifically, after the user connects the voice call in the second communication session, a speaker, a receiver, a microphone, etc. 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 of the two call contents, privacy disclosure, etc. And after the voice call in the second communication session is ended, the terminal can resume the speaker, the receiver, the microphone, etc. for the data call in the first communication session.

In another embodiment, considering the rf antenna architecture, the conventional design is to use a link for each 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 connect the rf links of one frequency band at a time to the antenna, but there is no way to connect two or more links to the antenna simultaneously. In the present application, a quadruplex may be added to two radio frequency links that need to work simultaneously, and one path is synthesized by the quadruplex and then enters the integrated switch, for example, referring to fig. 4, in fig. 4, the radio frequency links corresponding to the frequency band 1 and the frequency band 2 are synthesized by the quadruplex and then enter the integrated switch (i.e. the switch in fig. 4). Thus, the radio frequency antenna structure can support 2 frequency bands to work simultaneously. And the condition of only needing one frequency band to work is not influenced, and at the moment, the other path only needs no signal transmission.

As can be seen from the foregoing, in the case where the terminal has established a communication session (for distinction, may be referred to as a first communication session) and is currently in a communication state (for distinction, may be referred to as a first communication state), the embodiment of the present application responds to a new communication request (for distinction and understanding, may be referred to as a second communication request) and correspondingly establishes a communication session (for distinction, may be referred to as a second communication session) corresponding to the second communication request, and the first communication session is not closed due to the establishment of the second communication session, in other words, the scheme can be implemented in such a manner that when the first communication session is established, the second communication session is further established, and the first communication session and the second communication session can be performed simultaneously. Specifically, in this scheme, a frequency band occupied by a second communication session to be established (for distinction, may be referred to as a first frequency band) may be determined according to a frequency band occupied by the first communication session (for distinction, may be referred to as a first frequency band), further, the first communication session is kept through the first frequency band, and the second communication session is established and performed through the second frequency band, so that the terminal can respond to the second communication request to perform communication in the first communication state.

In addition, the scheme can enable the voice call and the data call to be simultaneously carried out through the specific radio frequency antenna architecture design and the software selection flow when the voice call is accessed, and ensure that the data call is not interrupted.
