In order to understand the features and technical contents of the embodiments of the present invention in more detail on the basis of the above-mentioned communication system, the implementation of the embodiments of the present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, which are for reference and not for limiting the embodiments of the present invention.

Fig. 2 is a first flowchart of a communication control method in an embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 2, the method may specifically include:

step 201: determining first network equipment supporting a first communication frequency band, and controlling a first communication module to establish a first communication channel with the first network equipment;

the first communication frequency band is a communication frequency band of a first communication network. The first communication network may be any one of: GSM system, CDMA system, WCDMA system, GPRS system, LTE frequency division duplex system, LTE time division duplex system, UMTS system, WiMAX system or 5G system, etc.

Here, the establishment of the communication connection between the first communication module and the first network device may be understood as selecting one communication module of the dual communication modules to establish a connection with the network device during single channel communication. For example, when a network is searched for at startup, a communication module designated by a user is used for searching for a network and a suitable network device is selected for residence.

Further, when the preset trigger condition is met, if it is determined that the dual-channel communication needs to be executed, the second communication module is controlled to establish a second communication channel with the second network device, and the first communication channel and the second communication channel are used for receiving downlink data at the same time.

Step 202: when the preset triggering condition is met, determining second network equipment supporting a second communication frequency band, and controlling a second communication module to establish a second communication channel with the second network equipment;

illustratively, in some embodiments, the trigger condition includes: determining that the dual-channel transmission function is in an open state; correspondingly, the method further comprises the following steps: acquiring an opening instruction of the dual-channel transmission function input by a user; and responding to the opening instruction to control the dual-channel transmission function to be in an opening state.

For example, the control key can be set, and the user can set the on and off of the dual-channel transmission function by operating the control key, that is, the user can select whether to use the dual-card data traffic to download data simultaneously.

Illustratively, in some embodiments, the method further comprises: and determining that the downlink data transmission is finished, and controlling the dual-channel transmission function to be in a closed state. That is to say, after the downlink data transmission is finished, the dual-channel transmission function can be automatically closed, and the single-channel transmission function can be recovered. For example, maintaining a first communication module to establish a first communication channel with the first network device;

illustratively, in some embodiments, the trigger condition includes at least one of: determining that the downloaded data amount is greater than or equal to a preset data amount threshold value; the residual data flow of the first communication module is greater than or equal to a first data flow threshold; the remaining data traffic of the second communication module is greater than or equal to a second data traffic threshold. Wherein the first data traffic threshold and the second data traffic threshold are equal or unequal.

That is, when the dual channel transmission function is in the on state, other trigger conditions may be further set. Specifically, it is determined that the downloaded data volume is greater than or equal to the preset data volume threshold, it may be understood that the dual-channel transmission function needs to be started to increase the data downloading rate only when the downloaded data volume is a large data packet, and when the remaining data flow of the first communication module is greater than or equal to the first data flow threshold and the remaining data flow of the second communication module is greater than or equal to the second data flow threshold, it indicates that the remaining flows of the first communication module and the second communication module are sufficient, and the remaining flows of the two communication modules are sufficient and can meet the dual-channel data transmission requirement. Otherwise, if the residual data flow of one of the communication modules is less, the requirement of dual-channel data transmission cannot be supported, and only one of the communication modules can be used for downloading data.

The second communication frequency band is a communication frequency band of a second communication network, and the first communication frequency band is different from the second communication frequency band. The second communication network may be any one of: GSM system, CDMA system, WCDMA system, GPRS system, LTE frequency division duplex system, LTE time division duplex system, UMTS system, WiMAX system or 5G system, etc.

In practical applications, the first communication network and the second communication network are the same communication network, or the first communication network and the second communication network are different communication networks.

Specifically, when the first communication network and the second communication network are the same communication network, the first communication module and the second communication module use different communication frequency bands in the same communication network to establish connection with the network device. When the first communication network and the second communication network are different communication networks, the first communication module and the second communication module use different communication frequency bands in different communication networks to establish connection with the network equipment.

For example, when the first communication network and the second communication network are the same communication network, the first communication frequency band is a communication frequency band corresponding to the first communication network, and the second communication frequency band is a replanning frequency band of a communication frequency band corresponding to a third communication network; wherein the first communication network and the third communication network are different communication networks. That is, when the first communication network and the second communication network are the same communication network, the first communication band may be a dedicated communication band for the first communication network, and the second communication band may be a replanning band (replanning band) obtained by replanning communication bands of other communication networks (i.e., the third communication network). Here, the replating frequency band may also be understood as a communication frequency band common to the first communication network and the third communication network.

Optionally, the first communication network and the second communication network are both a 4G communication network, a 5G communication network, or a 6G communication network. Optionally, the first communication network is one of a 4G communication network, a 5G communication network and a 6G communication network, and the second communication network is one of a 4G communication network, a 5G communication network and a 6G communication network, and is a different communication network.

Illustratively, the first communication network and the second communication network are both 5G communication networks, the first communication frequency band is a sub-6G communication frequency band such as 5G n77/n78/n79, or a millimeter wave communication frequency band, and the second communication frequency band is an LTE replanting frequency band such as n41/n1/n3, which is also used for 5G communication.

Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of a first component structure of a communication system in an embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 3, the communication system includes: a first network device 310, a second network device 320, and a terminal device 330. Where terminal device 330 includes SIM1 and SIM2, terminal device 330 establishes a connection with first network device 310 using SIM1, and terminal device 330 establishes a connection with second network device 320 using SIM 2.

Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of a second component structure of the communication system in the embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 4, the terminal device 330 includes: a first communication module 331, a second communication module 332, a first antenna 333, a second antenna 334, and a radio frequency transceiver 335. The communication frequency bands supported by the first communication module 331 as a 5G communication module include sub-6G communication frequency bands such as n77/n78/n 79; the communication bands supported by the second communication module 332 as an LTE communication module include LTE communication bands such as B41/B1/B3 and the like, and a replant band such as n41/n1/n3 and the like. The rf transceiver 335, the first communication module 331 and the first antenna 333 are integrally formed to establish a communication connection with the gNB1 (i.e., the first network device), and the rf transceiver 335, the second communication module 332 and the second antenna 334 are integrally formed to establish a communication connection with the gNB2 (i.e., the second network device).

In practical applications, the terminal device may further include two independent rf transceivers, which are respectively connected to the first communication module 331 and the second communication module 332.

In practical applications, the first communication Module includes a first Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) and a first Power Amplifier (PA), and the second communication Module includes a second SIM and a second PA, which are used to implement dual channel communication. That is to say, in the embodiment of the present application, the terminal device is provided with two communication modules, each of which includes at least one SIM and one PA, and is configured to establish a communication channel with a network device.

Further, a first power supply is arranged to supply power to the first power amplifier, and a second power supply is arranged to supply power to the second power amplifier.

Illustratively, the first communication network and the second communication network are both 4G communication networks, the first communication frequency band is an LTE communication frequency band such as B1/B3, and the second communication frequency band is an LTE communication frequency band such as B41.

Fig. 5 is a third structural diagram of the communication system in the embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 5, the communication frequency bands supported by the first communication module 331 as the 4G communication module include LTE communication frequency bands such as B41; the communication frequency bands supported by the second communication module 332 as the LTE communication module include LTE communication frequency bands such as B1/B3. The radio frequency transceiver 335, the first communication module 331 and the first antenna 333 form an integral unit for establishing a communication connection with the eNodeB1 (i.e. the first network device), and the radio frequency transceiver 335, the second communication module 332 and the second antenna 334 form an integral unit for establishing a communication connection with the eNodeB2 (i.e. the second network device).

For example, when the first communication network and the second communication network are different communication networks, the first communication frequency band is a communication frequency band corresponding to the first communication network, and the second communication frequency band is a replanning frequency band of the communication frequency band corresponding to the first communication network. That is to say, when the first communication network and the second communication network are different communication networks, the first communication frequency band is a communication frequency band corresponding to the first communication network, and the second communication frequency band is a replanning frequency band of the communication frequency band corresponding to the first communication network, so as to implement communication of the second communication network, it may be understood that a part of the frequency band in the first communication network is shared with the second communication network.

Illustratively, the first communication network is a 5G communication network, the second communication network is an LTE communication network, the first communication frequency band is a sub-6G communication frequency band such as 5G n77/n78/n79, and the second communication frequency band is an LTE communication frequency band such as B41/B1/B3. In practical application, the second communication module can also support an LTE (long term evolution) replanting frequency band such as n41/n1/n3, namely the second communication module can also realize 5G communication by utilizing the replanting frequency band. For example, when a 5G terminal device supports Non-Standalone Networking (NSA), such as a B3-n41 combination, it must include a communication module supporting B3 and a communication module supporting n41, and the communication module supporting n41 also supports B41, so as to implement B3-B41 dual 4G communication. Namely, one communication module can realize the LTE communication by utilizing an LTE communication frequency band, and can also realize the 5G communication by utilizing a replating frequency band.

In practical application, a separate third communication module can be further arranged, the third communication module supports an LTE replanning frequency band such as n41/n1/n3, and 5G communication is realized by utilizing the replanning frequency band.

Fig. 6 is a schematic diagram of a fourth component structure of the communication system in the embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 6, when the terminal device 330 supports NSA, the terminal device 330 includes: a first communication module 331, a second communication module 332, a first antenna 333, a second antenna 334, and a radio frequency transceiver 335. The communication frequency bands supported by the first communication module 331 as a 5G communication module include sub-6G communication frequency bands such as n77/n78/n 79; the communication frequency bands supported by the second communication module 332 as the LTE communication module include LTE communication frequency bands such as B41/B1/B3. The rf transceiver 335, the first communication module 331 and the first antenna 333 are integrally formed to establish a communication connection with the gNB1 (i.e., the first network device), and the rf transceiver 335, the second communication module 332 and the second antenna 334 are integrally formed to establish a communication connection with the gNB2 (i.e., the second network device).

In practical applications, the terminal device 330 may further include: a third communication module 336 and a third antenna 337, where the third communication module 336 supports a re-cultivation frequency band of n41/n1/n3, and the radio frequency transceiver 335, the third communication module 336 and the third antenna 337 form a whole to establish a communication connection with the gNB1 (i.e., the first network device).

That is to say, the terminal device may set three communication modules to support LTE, reforming band, and sub-6G communication frequency bands, respectively, where one SIM card is used for LTE communication, and another SIM card selects a base station that supports reforming band or sub-6G for 5G communication by searching for a network with a peripheral base station.

In some embodiments, the second communication module 332 as an LTE communication module may also synchronously support a n41/n1/n3 or other replating frequency bands. The second communication module 332 may also support 2G and/or 3G communication bands.

Step 203: controlling the first communication module to receive first downlink data sent by the first network device through the first communication channel;

illustratively, the first communication module generates a first data request according to a data downloading requirement, sends the first data request to the first network device, and the first network device obtains first downlink data according to the first data request and sends the first downlink data to the first communication module.

Step 204: controlling the second communication module to receive second downlink data sent by the second network device through the second communication channel;

illustratively, the second communication module generates a second data request according to the data downloading requirement, and sends the second data request to the second network device, and the second network device obtains second downlink data according to the second data request and sends the second downlink data to the second communication module.

Here, the data download requirement may be understood as data to be downloaded by the terminal device, and when downloading is performed using two channels, the terminal device may generate a first data request and a second data request, request the first network device to issue a part of data (i.e., first downlink data) through the first data request, and request the second network device to issue another part of data (i.e., second downlink data) through the second data request. The terminal device merges the obtained first downlink data and the second downlink data to obtain third downlink data, namely the data to be downloaded by the terminal device.

For example, the data to be downloaded by the terminal device may be internet access data such as audio, video, image, text, and the like, and may also be voice call data.

Step 205: and combining the first downlink data and the second downlink data to obtain third downlink data.

Illustratively, the first downlink data and the second downlink data are sent to a processor to be merged to obtain third downlink data.

Here, the execution subject of steps 201 to 205 may be a processor of the terminal device. The terminal device described in the present application may include a mobile terminal having a wireless communication function, such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a palmtop computer, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), a Portable Media Player (PMP), a navigation device, a wearable device, a smart band, a camera, and the like.

By adopting the technical scheme, two communication modules are utilized to respectively establish double communication channels in two network devices at two different communication frequency bands, downlink data are divided into two parts to be transmitted simultaneously, the data downloading rate is improved, meanwhile, the two communication modules use two SIM cards, the data flow of the two SIM cards is consumed, and the problem of double-card data flow waste is solved.

To further illustrate the object of the present application based on the above embodiments of the present application, as shown in fig. 7, the method specifically includes:

step 701: acquiring a first list and a second list which are preset;

the first list includes at least one first communication frequency band supported by the terminal device in a first communication network, the second list includes at least one second communication frequency band supported by the terminal device in a second communication network, and the first communication frequency band and the second communication frequency band are different communication frequency bands.

That is to say, according to the communication capability of the terminal, different communication bands of the same communication network are stored in the first list and the second list in a classified manner, or communication bands of different communication networks are stored in the first list and the second list in a classified manner, network searching is performed based on the communication bands in the first list and the second list, and the network devices supporting the communication bands are determined to perform communication connection.

In practical application, the first communication network and the second communication network are the same communication network, and different communication frequency bands of the same communication network are stored in the first list and the second list. The first communication network and the second communication network are different communication networks, and different communication frequency bands of the different communication networks are stored in the first list and the second list.

Optionally, the first list and the second list include different communication frequency bands of a 4G communication network, different communication frequency bands of a 5G communication network, or different communication frequency bands of a 6G communication network.

here, the first list may be understood that any one of the two lists, or a specific one of the two lists, is preset, and the first communication module selects one of the two lists to perform network searching and selects a suitable network device to reside.

Illustratively, on the basis of the first list, network searching, power-on, cell searching, system information receiving, cell selection and residence, and random access are performed according to a conventional cell searching process.

Step 703: when a preset trigger condition is met, determining the second network equipment supporting a second communication frequency band in the second list based on the second list, and controlling a second communication module to establish a second communication channel with the second network equipment;
