Description

Antenna control method, electronic equipment and computer storage medium

Technical Field

The present application relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to an antenna control method, an electronic device, and a computer storage medium.

Background

At present, with the continuous development of communication technology, coexistence of multiple wireless network access technologies has become a standard configuration function of most electronic devices. For example, in the same electronic device, a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network and a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) coexist, and the like.

When the electronic device uses multiple wireless networks simultaneously, if the working frequency bands of the different types of wireless networks are adjacent, the problem of coexistence and mutual interference is easy to occur. For example, taking an LTE network and a WLAN network as an example, according to the division and usage of the current spectrum of the wireless communication network, part of the spectrum of the LTE network exists in a 2.4GHz band (2400-2483.5 MHz) very close to the WLAN network, especially in B40, B41, B7, etc., where B40 (2300-2400 MHz) is located below the WLAN network band, and B41 (2496-2690 MHz) and B7 (uplink UL:2500-2570MHz, downlink DL:2620-2690 MHz) are located above the WLAN band. When the LTE network operating frequency band is adjacent to the WLAN network operating frequency band, the coexistence filter of the current technology level cannot absolutely reduce the interference of the adjacent frequency band below the state without influence, so that coexistence mutual interference is easily generated between the LTE network operating frequency band and the WLAN network operating frequency band when the LTE network operating frequency band and the WLAN network operating frequency band operate simultaneously.

In order to achieve the above purpose, the embodiment of the present application adopts the following technical solutions:

in a first aspect, an antenna control method is provided, where the method is applied to an electronic device, where M first antennas and N second antennas are set in the electronic device, M is not less than 1,N is not less than 1,M, and N is an integer, and the M first antennas and the N second antennas are used to transmit different network signals, and the method includes:

The interference of the first antenna serving as a signal interference source to the interfered second antenna can be compensated through the increased number of the antennas of the second antenna, so that the interference influence of the transmission signal of the first antenna on the reception signal of the second antenna is reduced to a certain extent when the first antenna and the second antenna work simultaneously, and the signal transmission performance of the electronic equipment is improved.

With reference to the first aspect, in a possible design manner, the first estimated antenna information further includes antenna identifiers of p second antennas.

The first estimated antenna information not only comprises p second antennas, but also comprises antenna identifiers of the p second antennas, so that the electronic equipment can directly open the second antennas corresponding to the first estimated antenna information according to the first estimated antenna information.

With reference to the first aspect, in a possible design manner, calculating first estimated antenna information of a second antenna that needs to be turned on by an electronic device based on reception parameters of m first antennas includes: if the signal-to-noise ratios of the n second antennas are greater than a first preset signal-to-noise ratio, the first estimated antenna number p is the number n of the second antennas which are started currently by the electronic equipment; the first preset signal-to-noise ratio is the minimum signal-to-noise ratio which ensures that the electronic equipment normally receives the signaling; if the signal-to-noise ratios of the n second antennas are smaller than a first preset signal-to-noise ratio and larger than a second preset signal-to-noise ratio, the first estimated antenna number p is the sum of the number n of the second antennas which are currently started in the electronic equipment and a first preset value; wherein the second preset signal-to-noise ratio is smaller than the first preset signal-to-noise ratio; if the signal-to-noise ratios of the n second antennas are smaller than a second preset signal-to-noise ratio, the first estimated antenna number p is the sum of the number n of the second antennas which are currently started in the electronic device and a second preset value, wherein the second preset value is larger than the first preset value.

It can be understood that the smaller the signal-to-noise ratio of the n interfered second antennas is, the greater the number of the second antennas which need to be additionally added is, the better the compensation effect of the interference of the first antenna which is the signal interference source to the interfered second antenna is.

With reference to the first aspect, in a possible design manner, calculating first estimated antenna information of a second antenna that needs to be turned on by an electronic device based on reception parameters of m first antennas includes: if the reference signal receiving power of the n second antennas is greater than the first preset reference signal receiving power, the first estimated antenna number p is the number n of the second antennas which are started currently by the electronic equipment; the first preset reference signal receiving power is the minimum reference signal receiving power of the electronic equipment for ensuring normal signaling receiving; if the reference signal receiving power of the n second antennas is smaller than the first preset reference signal receiving power and larger than the second preset reference signal receiving power, the first estimated antenna number p is the sum of the number n of the second antennas which are started at present in the electronic equipment and a third preset value; wherein the second predetermined reference signal received power is less than the first predetermined reference signal received power; if the reference signal receiving power of the n second antennas is smaller than the second preset reference signal receiving power, the first estimated antenna number p is the sum of the number n of the second antennas which are currently started in the electronic device and a fourth preset value, wherein the fourth preset value is larger than the third preset value.

It can be understood that the smaller the reference signal received power of the n interfered second antennas is, the greater the number of the second antennas which need to be additionally added is, the better the compensation effect of the interference of the first antenna which is the signal interference source to the interfered second antennas is.

With reference to the first aspect, in a possible design manner, calculating first estimated antenna information of a second antenna that needs to be turned on by an electronic device based on reception parameters of m first antennas includes: if the reference signal receiving power of the n second antennas is larger than the sum of the first preset reference signal receiving power and the interference degree, the first estimated antenna number p is the number n of the second antennas which are started currently by the electronic equipment; the first preset reference signal receiving power is the minimum reference signal receiving power of the electronic equipment for ensuring normal signaling receiving; if the reference signal receiving power of the n second antennas is smaller than the sum of the first preset reference signal receiving power and the interference degree and larger than the second preset reference signal receiving power, the first estimated antenna number p is the sum of the number n of the second antennas which are started at present in the electronic equipment and a fifth preset value; the second preset reference signal receiving power is smaller than the sum of the first preset reference signal receiving power and the interference degree; if the reference signal receiving power of the n second antennas is smaller than the sum of the second preset reference signal receiving power and the interference degree, the first estimated antenna number p is the sum of the number n of the second antennas which are started at the electronic equipment at present and a sixth preset value, wherein the sixth preset value is larger than the fifth preset value.

It can be understood that the number of the second antennas which need to be additionally added to the electronic device is calculated by combining the reference signal received power and the interference degree, and the smaller the reference signal received power of the n interfered second antennas is, the greater the number of the second antennas which need to be additionally added is, the better the compensation effect of the first antenna which is the signal interference source on the interference of the interfered second antennas is.

With reference to the first aspect, in a possible design manner, the N second antennas are the first N second antennas arranged in an arrangement order of the antenna gains from large to small; before the m first antennas and the n second antennas operate simultaneously, the method further comprises: controlling m first antennas to transmit signals and k second antennas to receive signals; k is greater than N, k is an integer, and the k second antennas are the first k second antennas in the N second antennas according to the sequence of the antenna gains from large to small; and if the strength of the signals transmitted by the k second antennas is greater than the first strength threshold value, controlling the electronic equipment to receive the signals through the n second antennas.

When the signal of the interfered antenna is good, the electronic device can close the receiving function of part of low-priority antennas according to the priority order of the antenna gain, and only reserve the receiving function of the preset root (1 or 2) antenna with the highest priority, so as to reduce the power consumption of the electronic device.

With reference to the first aspect, in a possible design manner, before the controlling electronic device receives signals through p second antennas, the method further includes:

Therefore, by adopting the method of the embodiment of the application, the interference of the first antenna transmitting signal to the second antenna receiving signal can be reduced by inhibiting the dynamic off-diversity under the scene of the antenna coexistence mutual interference, and the influence of the first antenna transmitting signal to the second antenna receiving signal performance can be reduced.

With reference to the first aspect, in a possible design manner, determining second estimated antenna information of a second antenna that needs to be turned on by an electronic device based on reception parameters of n second antennas includes: determining the maximum receiving parameter from the receiving parameters of the n second antennas, and if the maximum receiving parameter is greater than a first preset receiving parameter value, determining that the second estimated antenna number q of the second antennas which are required to be started by the electronic equipment is the number n of the second antennas which are currently started by the electronic equipment; if the maximum receiving parameter is greater than the second preset receiving parameter value and less than the first preset receiving parameter value, wherein the second preset receiving parameter value is less than the first preset receiving parameter value, determining that a second estimated antenna number q of a second antenna required to be started by the electronic device is the number n of the second antennas which are started by the electronic device currently plus a seventh preset value, and if the maximum receiving parameter is less than the second preset receiving parameter value, determining that the second estimated antenna number q of the second antenna required to be started by the electronic device is the number n of the second antennas which are started by the electronic device currently plus an eighth preset value, wherein the eighth preset value is greater than the seventh preset value.

It can be understood that the smaller the receiving parameters of the n interfered second antennas are, the greater the number of the second antennas which need to be additionally added is, the better the compensation effect of the interference of the first antenna which is the signal interference source to the interfered second antenna is.

Detailed Description

Illustrative embodiments of the present application include, but are not limited to, an antenna control method, an electronic device, and a computer storage medium.

Embodiments of the present application will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, and it is to be understood that the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments of the present application. As can be known to those skilled in the art, with the development of technology and the emergence of new scenarios, the technical solution provided in the embodiments of the present application is also applicable to similar technical problems.

In order to solve the technical problem mentioned in the background art, an embodiment of the present application provides an antenna control method, which is applied to an electronic device, where a first antenna and a second antenna that can transmit different network signals are arranged in the electronic device, and the first antenna and the second antenna can operate simultaneously. One or more first antennas and one or more second antennas may be included in the electronic device. For example, fig. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating an application scenario of an antenna control method according to some embodiments of the present application. As shown in fig. 1, the scenario includes a handset 100, the handset 100 having a first antenna and a second antenna. The first antenna may be a Wi-Fi antenna for transmitting Wi-Fi signals; the second antenna may be a cellular antenna for transmitting cellular signals. It is understood that the Wi-Fi antenna is one of the WLAN antennas, and the first antenna may be any one of the WLAN antennas. The cellular antenna is one of the LTE antennas, and the second antenna may be any LTE antenna. By adopting the method of the embodiment of the application, the problem of coexistence mutual interference when the first antenna and the second antenna work simultaneously can be solved.

The problem that Wi-Fi antenna transmission signals interfere with cellular antenna reception signals and how to solve the problem that Wi-Fi antenna transmission signals interfere with cellular antenna reception signals will be described in detail below in the embodiments of the present application.

The reason why the coexistence mutual interference problem occurs when the first antenna and the second antenna work simultaneously is as follows: the isolation between the first antenna and the second antenna does not meet the design requirements. Therefore, when one antenna transmits a signal, the first antenna and the second antenna with the similar working frequency bands generate interference on the reception of the other antenna.

For example, the first antenna is a Wi-Fi antenna and the second antenna is a cellular antenna. The coexistence mutual interference of the Wi-Fi antenna and the cellular antenna may appear as: the Wi-Fi antenna transmit signal interferes with the cellular antenna receive signal, and the cellular antenna transmit signal interferes with the Wi-Fi antenna receive signal. Fig. 2 illustrates a structure of the handset 100 and a schematic layout of antennas in the handset 100, according to some embodiments of the present application.

As shown in fig. 2, the handset 100 includes an application processor 101, a cellular module 102, and a Wi-Fi module 103, the cellular module 102 including a plurality of cellular antennas, and the Wi-Fi module 103 including a plurality of Wi-Fi antennas. Wherein, the cellular module 102 and the Wi-Fi module 103 are respectively connected with the application processor 101.

It is to be understood that the illustrated structure of the embodiment of the present invention does not specifically limit the mobile phone 100. In other embodiments of the present application, the handset 100 may include more or fewer components than shown, or some components may be combined, some components may be separated, or a different arrangement of components may be used. The illustrated components may be implemented in hardware, software, or a combination of software and hardware.

Cellular module 102 is used to transmit cellular signals. The number of cellular antennas in the cellular module 102 may be 4, such as Ant1, ant2, ant3, and Ant4, but is not limited thereto.

Wi-Fi module 103 is used to transmit Wi-Fi signals. The number of Wi-Fi antennas in the Wi-Fi module 103 may be 2, such as Ant5 and Ant6, but is not limited thereto.

Limited by the size of the handset 100, there is a risk of co-existing interference with cellular antennas and the cellular antennas are arranged closer together within the handset 100. Specifically, the distances between Ant1 and Ant5 and Ant6 are short, and when Ant5 and Ant6 are in a transmitting state, interference is generated on the reception of Ant1, and the signal-to-noise ratio of Ant1 is affected.

When the Wi-Fi antenna and the cellular antenna operate simultaneously, not only the coexistence mutual interference problem but also the power consumption problem of the electronic device need to be considered. As shown in fig. 2, the handset 100 includes four cellular antennas, such as Ant1, ant2, ant3, and Ant4, and the four antennas are used in order of priority, ant1> Ant2> Ant3> Ant4, and the order of priority, i.e., the order of magnitude of antenna gain of the antennas. The antenna gain refers to the ratio of the power density of signals generated by an actual antenna and an ideal radiating element at the same point in space under the condition that the input power is equal, and is used for measuring the capacity of the antenna for transmitting and receiving signals. In order to reduce the power consumption of the electronic device, when the cellular signal is good, the electronic device may turn off the receiving functions of part of the antennas with low priority according to the priority order, and only retain the receiving functions of 1 to 2 antennas (e.g., ant1 and Ant 2) with the highest priority. Among them, in order to reduce power consumption, the operation in which the electronic device turns off part of the receiving function of the low priority antenna may be referred to as dynamic off-diversity.

The operation of the electronic device to turn on the dynamic off set may further lead to coexistence cross-talk problems. For example, as shown in fig. 2. When the mobile phone 100 starts the dynamic switching off set of the cellular module 102, the cellular module 102 will preferentially switch off Ant3 or Ant4, even Ant2, and at this time, the signal reception quality of Ant1 is very important. Because the distances between Ant1 and Ant5 and Ant6 are short, when Ant5 and Ant6 are in a transmitting state, interference is generated on receiving of Ant 1; therefore, if the transmission power of the Wi-Fi module 103 suddenly increases, ant5 and Ant6 may seriously affect the received signal-to-noise ratio of Ant 1. The received signal-to-noise ratio of Ant1 will deteriorate rapidly, the downloading rate will decrease, and even the network will be dropped, which will affect the user experience.

By adopting the method of the embodiment of the application, the interference of the Wi-Fi antenna transmitting signal on the cellular antenna receiving signal can be reduced and the influence of the Wi-Fi antenna transmitting signal on the cellular antenna receiving signal performance can be reduced by inhibiting the dynamic off-diversity under the coexistence mutual interference scene.

Specifically, in order to solve the problem of coexistence and mutual interference of the antennas working in adjacent frequency bands, the antenna control method provided in the embodiment of the present application is applied to an electronic device, where M first antennas and N second antennas are arranged in the electronic device, M is equal to or greater than 1,N is equal to or greater than 1,M and N are integers, and the M first antennas and the N second antennas are used for transmitting different network signals, and the method includes:

when detecting that the m first antennas and the n second antennas work simultaneously, the electronic equipment acquires the transmitting parameters of the m first antennas and the receiving parameters of the n second antennas; wherein M is less than or equal to M, and N is less than or equal to N; the transmitting parameter is used for representing the working parameter when the first antenna transmits the signal, and the receiving parameter is used for representing the working parameter when the second antenna receives the signal; detecting the interference degree of the m first antenna transmission signals to the n second antenna receiving signals based on the m first antenna transmission parameters and the n second antenna receiving parameters; if the interference degree exceeds a preset interference threshold, determining first estimated antenna information of a second antenna which needs to be started by the electronic equipment based on the receiving parameters of the m first antennas; the first pre-estimated antenna information comprises a first pre-estimated antenna number p, wherein p is more than or equal to N and is less than or equal to N, and p is an integer; the p-n second antennas are used for compensating the interference of the first antenna serving as a signal interference source to the interfered second antenna; the control electronics receive signals via the p second antennas.

For example, as shown in fig. 2, in order to solve the above problem of coexistence and mutual interference among antennas, in the embodiment of the present application, the application processor 101 detects that the Wi-Fi antenna Ant5, the Wi-Fi antenna Ant6, and the cellular antenna Ant1 operate simultaneously, and may obtain the transmission parameters of the Wi-Fi antenna Ant5 and the Wi-Fi antenna Ant6 and the reception parameters of the cellular antenna Ant1, where the transmission parameters are used to represent the operating parameters when the Wi-Fi antenna Ant5 and the Wi-Fi antenna Ant6 transmit signals, and the reception parameters are used to represent the operating parameters when the cellular antenna Ant1 receives signals. Then, the application processor 101 determines whether signal transmission of the Wi-Fi antenna Ant5 and the Wi-Fi antenna Ant6 affects signal transmission of the cellular antenna Ant1 based on the transmission parameters and the reception parameters, and if a plurality of interference degrees exceed a preset interference threshold, calculates first estimated antenna number information of the cellular antenna that the mobile phone 100 needs to turn on based on the obtained reception parameters, for example, the first estimated antenna number information includes that the first estimated antenna number is 2, and antenna identifiers of the cellular antenna Ant1 and the cellular antenna Ant2, and may control the mobile phone 100 to turn on the cellular antenna Ant2 on the basis of turning on the cellular antenna Ant1, and control the mobile phone 100 to receive signals through the cellular antenna Ant1 and the cellular antenna Ant 2; for another example, the first estimated antenna number information includes that the first estimated antenna number is 3, and the antenna identifiers of the cellular antenna Ant1, the cellular antenna Ant2, and the cellular antenna Ant3, so that the mobile phone 100 can be controlled to turn on the cellular antenna Ant2 and the cellular antenna Ant3 on the basis of turning on the cellular antenna Ant1, and the mobile phone 100 is controlled to receive signals through the cellular antenna Ant1, the cellular antenna Ant2, and the cellular antenna Ant 3; for another example, the first estimated antenna number information includes a first estimated antenna number of 4, and antenna identifiers of the cellular antenna Ant1, the cellular antenna Ant2, the cellular antenna Ant3, and the cellular antenna Ant4, so that the mobile phone 100 may be controlled to turn on the cellular antenna Ant2, the cellular antenna Ant3, and the cellular antenna Ant4 on the basis of turning on the cellular antenna Ant1, and the mobile phone 100 is controlled to receive signals through the cellular antenna Ant1, the cellular antenna Ant2, the cellular antenna Ant3, and the cellular antenna Ant4.

The method for calculating the first estimated antenna information of the second antenna required to be started by the electronic equipment based on the receiving parameters of the m first antennas by the electronic equipment at least comprises the following 3 modes:

(1) Mode 1

If the signal-to-noise ratios of the n second antennas are greater than a first preset signal-to-noise ratio, the first estimated antenna number p is the number n of the second antennas which are started currently by the electronic equipment; the first preset signal-to-noise ratio is the minimum signal-to-noise ratio which ensures that the electronic equipment normally receives the signaling; if the signal-to-noise ratios of the n second antennas are smaller than a first preset signal-to-noise ratio and larger than a second preset signal-to-noise ratio, the first estimated antenna number p is the sum of the number n of the second antennas which are currently started in the electronic equipment and a first preset value; wherein the second preset signal-to-noise ratio is smaller than the first preset signal-to-noise ratio; if the signal-to-noise ratios of the n second antennas are smaller than a second preset signal-to-noise ratio, the first estimated antenna number p is the sum of the number n of the second antennas which are currently started in the electronic device and a second preset value, wherein the second preset value is larger than the first preset value.

It can be understood that the smaller the snr of the n interfered second antennas is, the more the number of the second antennas needs to be additionally added, and the better the compensation effect of the interference of the first antenna as the signal interference source to the interfered second antenna is.

(2) Mode 2

If the reference signal receiving power of the n second antennas is greater than the first preset reference signal receiving power, the first estimated antenna number p is the number n of the second antennas which are started currently by the electronic equipment; the first preset reference signal receiving power is the minimum reference signal receiving power of the electronic equipment for ensuring normal signaling receiving; if the reference signal receiving power of the n second antennas is smaller than the first preset reference signal receiving power and larger than the second preset reference signal receiving power, the first estimated antenna number p is the sum of the number n of the second antennas which are started at the electronic equipment at present and a third preset value; wherein the second predetermined reference signal received power is less than the first predetermined reference signal received power; if the reference signal receiving power of the n second antennas is smaller than the second preset reference signal receiving power, the first estimated antenna number p is the sum of the number n of the second antennas which are currently started in the electronic device and a fourth preset value, wherein the fourth preset value is larger than the third preset value.

(3) Mode 3

If the reference signal receiving power of the n second antennas is larger than the sum of the first preset reference signal receiving power and the interference degree, the first estimated antenna number p is the number n of the second antennas which are started currently by the electronic equipment; the first preset reference signal receiving power is the minimum reference signal receiving power of the electronic equipment for ensuring normal signaling receiving; if the reference signal receiving power of the n second antennas is smaller than the sum of the first preset reference signal receiving power and the interference degree and larger than the second preset reference signal receiving power, the first estimated antenna number p is the sum of the number n of the second antennas which are started at present in the electronic equipment and a fifth preset value; the second preset reference signal receiving power is smaller than the sum of the first preset reference signal receiving power and the interference degree; if the reference signal receiving power of the n second antennas is smaller than the sum of the second preset reference signal receiving power and the interference degree, the first estimated antenna number p is the sum of the number n of the second antennas which are started at the electronic equipment at present and a sixth preset value, wherein the sixth preset value is larger than the fifth preset value.

The above mentioned dynamic off-diversity scheme is: before the electronic equipment detects that the m first antennas and the N second antennas work simultaneously, wherein the N second antennas are the first N second antennas in the N second antennas according to the arrangement sequence of antenna gains from large to small, and the m first antennas are controlled to transmit signals and the k second antennas are controlled to receive signals; wherein k is more than n, and k is an integer. If the strength of the signals transmitted by the k second antennas is greater than the first strength threshold, that is, the strength of the signals transmitted by the second antennas is better, in order to reduce the power consumption of the electronic device, the electronic device is controlled to close the second antennas from the k-th to the n-th in the sequence of the antenna gains from large to small, and the signals are received only through the n second antennas.

In order to solve the problem of coexistence mutual interference caused by dynamically switching on and switching off diversity, an antenna control method provided by the embodiment of the application comprises the following steps: before the control electronics receives signals via the p second antennas, the method further comprises: if the strength of the signals transmitted by the m first antennas is greater than a second strength threshold value, determining second estimated antenna information of a second antenna which needs to be started by the electronic equipment based on the receiving parameters of the n second antennas; the first pre-estimated antenna information comprises q second pre-estimated antenna numbers and antenna identifications of q second antennas, wherein q is more than or equal to N and is an integer; the q second antennas are the first q second antennas in the N second antennas according to the arrangement sequence of the antenna gains from large to small; the q-n second antennas are used for compensating the interference of the first antenna which is a signal interference source to the interfered second antenna; wherein the control electronics receive signals via p second antennas, including: if p is larger than or equal to q, controlling the electronic equipment to receive signals through p second antennas; the method further comprises the following steps: if p < q, the control electronics receive signals via q second antennas.

Therefore, by adopting the method of the embodiment of the application, under the situation of coexisting and mutual interference of the antennas, the interference of the transmitting signal of the first antenna on the receiving signal of the second antenna can be reduced by inhibiting the dynamic off-diversity, and the influence of the transmitting signal of the first antenna on the performance of the receiving signal of the second antenna can be reduced.

For example, as shown in fig. 2, the priority order of use of the four cellular antennas in the handset 100 is Ant1> Ant2> Ant3> Ant4, as described above. In order to solve the problem of coexistence mutual interference caused by dynamic off-diversity opening, in the embodiment of the present application, the application processor 101 detects that the Wi-Fi antenna Ant5, the Wi-Fi antenna Ant6 and the cellular antenna Ant1 work simultaneously, and may obtain the transmission parameters of the Wi-Fi antenna Ant5 and the Wi-Fi antenna Ant6 and the receiving parameters of the cellular antenna Ant1, where the transmission parameters are used to represent the working parameters when the Wi-Fi antenna Ant5 and the Wi-Fi antenna Ant6 transmit signals, and the receiving parameters are used to represent the working parameters when the cellular antenna Ant1 receives signals. Then, the application processor 101 determines whether the signal transmission of the Wi-Fi antenna Ant5 and the Wi-Fi antenna Ant6 affects the signal transmission of the cellular antenna Ant1 based on the transmission parameter and the reception parameter, and if a plurality of interference degrees exceed a preset interference threshold, calculates, based on the obtained reception parameter, that the first estimated antenna number information of the cellular antenna that the mobile phone 100 needs to be turned on includes the first estimated antenna number of 4 and the antenna identifications of the cellular antenna Ant1, the cellular antenna Ant2, the cellular antenna Ant3, and the cellular antenna Ant4. If the strength of the signals transmitted by the m first antennas is greater than a second strength threshold value, determining that second estimated antenna information of a second antenna required to be started by the electronic device includes the number of the second estimated antennas being 2 and antenna identifications of the cellular antenna Ant1 and the cellular antenna Ant2 based on the receiving parameters of the n second antennas. The electronic device obtains a larger estimated antenna number of 4 from the second estimated antenna number and the first estimated antenna number, and then may control the mobile phone 100 to turn on the cellular antenna Ant2, the cellular antenna Ant3, and the cellular antenna Ant4 on the basis of turning on the cellular antenna Ant1, and control the mobile phone 100 to receive signals through the cellular antenna Ant1, the cellular antenna Ant2, the cellular antenna Ant3, and the cellular antenna Ant4.

Calculating a first estimated antenna number of the cellular antenna Ant1, which is required to be turned on by the mobile phone 100, based on the obtained receiving parameters, for example, the first estimated antenna number is 2, and then controlling the mobile phone 100 to turn on any one of the cellular antenna Ant2, the cellular antenna Ant3, and the cellular antenna Ant4 based on the turning on of the cellular antenna Ant 1; if the number of the first estimated antennas is 3, the mobile phone 100 may be controlled to turn on any two of the cellular antenna Ant2, the cellular antenna Ant3, and the cellular antenna Ant4 on the basis of turning on the cellular antenna Ant 1; if the number of the first estimated antennas is 4, the mobile phone 100 may be controlled to turn on the cellular antenna Ant2, the cellular antenna Ant3, and the cellular antenna Ant4 while turning on the cellular antenna Ant 1.

Thus, when the mobile phone 100 activates the dynamic switching off of the cellular module 102, the cellular module 102 will preferentially switch off Ant3 or Ant4, even Ant2, and at this time, the signal receiving quality of Ant1 is very important. If the transmitting power of the Wi-Fi module 103 is suddenly increased, the receiving signal-to-noise ratio of the Wi-Fi antenna Ant1 will be rapidly deteriorated, the downloading rate is reduced, and even a network drop is caused, which affects the user experience. At this time, the mobile phone 100 controls the Wi-Fi antenna Ant2, even the Wi-Fi antenna Ant3 or the Wi-Fi antenna Ant4 to work, so that the influence of Wi-Fi interference on the whole cellular receiving capability can be greatly avoided.

One way for the electronic device to determine second estimated antenna information of the second antenna that needs to be turned on based on the reception parameters of the n second antennas includes:

determining the maximum receiving parameter from the receiving parameters of the n second antennas, and if the maximum receiving parameter is greater than a first preset receiving parameter value, determining that the second estimated antenna number q of the second antennas which are required to be started by the electronic equipment is the number n of the second antennas which are currently started by the electronic equipment; and if the maximum receiving parameter is greater than a second preset receiving parameter value and smaller than the first preset receiving parameter value, wherein the second preset receiving parameter value is smaller than the first preset receiving parameter value, determining that a second estimated antenna number q of a second antenna required to be started by the electronic equipment is the sum of the number n of the second antennas which are started by the electronic equipment currently and a seventh preset value. If the maximum receiving parameter is smaller than a second preset receiving parameter value, determining that a second estimated antenna number q of a second antenna required to be started by the electronic equipment is the sum of the number n of the second antennas started by the electronic equipment and an eighth preset value, wherein the eighth preset value is larger than a seventh preset value.

In some embodiments, the transmission parameters include channel, frequency, transmit Power, SIGNAL-to-NOISE RATIO (SNR or S/N), reference SIGNAL Receiving Power (RSRP), and the like. The receiving parameters include bandwidth (also called frequency band), frequency, transmission power, signal-to-noise ratio, reference signal receiving power, and the like.

The electronic device may be various devices in which multiple wireless access technologies coexist, such as, but not limited to, a mobile phone, a tablet, a computer, a smart wearable device, and the like.

Fig. 3 illustrates a flow diagram of an antenna control method, according to some embodiments of the present application. The execution main body of the process can be a mobile phone 100, wherein M Wi-Fi antennas and N cellular antennas are arranged in the mobile phone 100, and M is not less than 1,N not less than 1,M and N are integers. As shown in fig. 3, the process includes the following steps:

301: when m Wi-Fi antennas and n cellular antennas are detected to work simultaneously, acquiring transmitting parameters of the m Wi-Fi antennas and receiving parameters of the n cellular antennas; wherein M is less than or equal to M, and N is less than or equal to N; the transmitting parameter is used for representing the working parameter when the Wi-Fi antenna transmits signals, and the receiving parameter is used for representing the working parameter when the cellular antenna receives signals.

In some embodiments, after obtaining the transmission parameters of the Wi-Fi antennas and the reception parameters of the cellular antennas, the mobile phone 100 may determine the interference degree of the m Wi-Fi antenna transmission signals with the n cellular antenna reception signals based on the transmission parameters and the reception parameters. Specifically, after step 401, the method of the embodiment of the present application may further include step 302 to step 304.

302: and detecting the interference degree of the m Wi-Fi antenna transmission signals to the n cellular antenna receiving signals based on the m Wi-Fi antenna transmission parameters and the n cellular antenna receiving parameters.

In some embodiments, the mobile phone 100 is configured with a table in advance, and the table includes an association relationship between the transmission parameter, the reception parameter, and the interference degree of the Wi-Fi antenna transmission signal to the cellular antenna reception signal. The mobile phone 100 can match the interference degree from the above table based on the transmission parameter and the reception parameter only by acquiring the transmission parameter and the reception parameter. If the mobile phone 100 does not match the data from the table, it indicates that the Wi-Fi antenna transmits signals without affecting the cellular antenna to receive signals; or if the mobile phone 100 matches the identifier indicating that the Wi-Fi antenna transmission signal does not affect the cellular antenna reception signal from the table, it indicates that the Wi-Fi antenna transmission signal does not affect the cellular antenna reception signal. Wherein the table data can be obtained in advance for testing of the handset 100.

The signal transmission interference level may also be called cell antenna Sensitivity deterioration (Desense). For example, table 1 shows an exemplary correlation between the transmission parameter, the reception parameter, and the sensitivity deterioration of each antenna of the cell.

As shown in table 1, if the mobile phone 100 acquires the channel, frequency, and transmission power of the Wi-Fi antenna, and the frequency band, frequency, and bandwidth of the cellular antenna, based on the aforementioned operating parameters, it may be matched from table 1 that the interference degree of the interference source Wi-Fi antenna transmission signal on the cellular antenna Ant1 reception signal is-29.5, the interference degree of the interference source Wi-Fi antenna transmission signal on the cellular antenna Ant2 reception signal is-14.5, the interference degree of the interference source Wi-Fi antenna transmission signal on the cellular antenna Ant3 reception signal is-24.5, and the interference degree of the interference source Wi-Fi antenna transmission signal on the cellular antenna Ant4 reception signal is-6.5.

Table 1:

303: and judging whether the interference degree exceeds a preset interference threshold. If so, then 304 is performed. If not, the step 301 is executed again after waiting for the preset time length.

In some embodiments, if the number of the cellular antennas is large, the signal transmission interference level of any one cellular antenna is only required to be larger than the threshold value. The threshold value may be set to-10, but is not limited thereto.

It can be understood that the duration to be preset is a duration corresponding to the cycle period.

304: determining first estimated antenna information of a cellular antenna which is required to be started by the mobile phone 100 based on the receiving parameters of the m Wi-Fi antennas; the first pre-estimated antenna information comprises a first pre-estimated antenna number p, wherein p is more than or equal to N and is less than or equal to N, and p is an integer; the p-n cellular antennas are used for compensating the interference of the Wi-Fi antenna as a signal interference source to the interfered cellular antenna.

In some embodiments, the receive parameters may include a SIGNAL-to-NOISE RATIO (SNR or S/N) or a Reference SIGNAL Receiving Power (RSRP).

Three schemes for calculating the first estimated antenna number by the handset 100 according to the signal-to-noise ratio, the reference signal received power and the signal interference degree are exemplarily described below.

The rule for the mobile phone 100 to calculate the first estimated number of antennas according to the signal-to-noise ratio is as follows:

if the signal-to-noise ratios of the n second antennas are greater than the first preset signal-to-noise ratio, the first estimated number p of antennas is the number n (for example, 1) of the second antennas that are currently turned on by the mobile phone 100; wherein, the first preset signal-to-noise ratio is a minimum signal-to-noise ratio for ensuring that the mobile phone 100 normally receives the signaling; if the snr of the n second antennas is smaller than the first preset snr and larger than the second preset snr, the first estimated number p of antennas is the sum (e.g., 2) of the number n of second antennas currently turned on in the mobile phone 100 and the first preset value (e.g., 1); wherein the second preset signal-to-noise ratio is smaller than the first preset signal-to-noise ratio; if the snr of the n second antennas is smaller than a second preset snr, the first estimated number p of antennas is a sum (e.g., 4) of the number n of currently turned on second antennas of the mobile phone 100 and a second preset value (e.g., 3), where the second preset value is greater than the first preset value. Wherein the second predetermined signal-to-noise ratio comprises the first predetermined signal-to-noise ratio minus the first signal-to-noise ratio (e.g., 3 dB).

For example, if the currently turned on cellular antenna is the cellular antenna Ant1, the preset target SNR _ thres is 5dB. When the SNR _1 of the cellular antenna Ant1 is 6dB, the first estimated antenna number N _ rx1 is 1 because the SNR _1 is greater than the SNR _ thres. When the signal-to-noise ratio SNR _1 of the cellular antenna Ant1 is 3dB, the first estimated antenna number N _ rx1 is 2 because the SNR _ thres-3 is not less than the SNR _1 and is less than the SNR _ > u thres. When the SNR _1 of the cellular antenna Ant1 is the other value, the first estimated antenna number N _ rx1 is 4.

(2) The rule for the handset 100 to calculate the first estimated number of antennas according to the reference signal received power is:

if the reference signal receiving power of the n second antennas is greater than the first preset reference signal receiving power, the first estimated number p of antennas is the number n (for example, 1) of the second antennas that the mobile phone 100 has currently turned on; wherein, the first preset reference signal received power is the minimum reference signal received power of the mobile phone 100 for ensuring normal signaling reception; if the reference signal received power of the n second antennas is less than the first preset reference signal received power and greater than the second preset reference signal received power, the first estimated number of antennas p is the sum (e.g., 2) of the number n of second antennas currently turned on in the mobile phone 100 and a third preset value (e.g., 1); the second preset reference signal receiving power is smaller than the first preset reference signal receiving power; if the reference signal received power of the n second antennas is less than the second preset reference signal received power, the first estimated number of antennas p is the sum (e.g., 4) of the number n of second antennas currently turned on in the mobile phone 100 and a fourth preset value (e.g., 3), where the fourth preset value is greater than the third preset value. Wherein the second predetermined snr includes the first predetermined reference signal received power minus the first reference signal received power (e.g., 3 dB).

For example, if the currently turned on cellular antenna is the cellular antenna Ant1, the target reference signal received power RSRP _ thres is preset to be-120 dB. When the reference signal received power RSRP _1 of the cellular antenna Ant1 is-110 dB, since RSRP _1 is greater than RSRP _ thres, the first estimated antenna number N _ rx1 is 1. When the reference signal received power RSRP _1 of the cellular antenna Ant1 is-123 dB, the first estimated antenna number N _ rx1 is 2 because the RSRP _ thres-3 is not more than the RSRP _1 but is not more than the RSRP _ u thres. When the reference signal received power RSRP _1 of the cellular antenna Ant1 is other values, the first estimated antenna number N _ rx1 is 4.

(3) The rule for the handset 100 to calculate the first estimated number of antennas according to the reference signal received power and the signal interference level is:

if the reference signal received power of the n second antennas is greater than the sum of the first preset reference signal received power and the interference degree, the first estimated antenna number p is the number n (for example, 1) of the second antennas that are currently turned on by the mobile phone 100; wherein, the first preset reference signal received power is the minimum reference signal received power of the mobile phone 100 for ensuring normal signaling reception; if the reference signal received power of the n second antennas is less than the sum of the first preset reference signal received power and the interference degree and greater than the second preset reference signal received power, the first estimated number of antennas p is the sum (e.g., 2) of the number n of second antennas that have been currently turned on in the mobile phone 100 and a fifth preset value (e.g., 1); the second preset reference signal receiving power is smaller than the sum of the first preset reference signal receiving power and the interference degree; if the reference signal received power of the n second antennas is less than the sum of the second preset reference signal received power and the interference level, the first estimated antenna number p is the sum (e.g. 4) of the number n of the second antennas that are currently turned on in the handset 100 and a sixth preset value (e.g. 3), where the sixth preset value is greater than the fifth preset value. Wherein the second predetermined snr includes the first predetermined reference signal received power minus the first reference signal received power (e.g., 3 dB).

For example, if the currently turned on cellular antenna is the cellular antenna Ant1, the target reference signal received power RSRP _ thres is preset to be-120db, and the signal interference degree Des _1 of the wi-Fi antenna to the cellular antenna Ant1 is-29.5 dB. When the reference signal received power RSRP _1 of the cellular antenna Ant1 is-105 dB, since RSRP _1 is greater than the sum of RSRP _ thres and Des _1, the first estimated antenna number N _ rx1 is 1. When the reference signal received power and the signal interference degree RSRP _1 of the cellular antenna Ant1 are-123 dB, as the RSRP _ thres + Des _1-3 is not less than the RSRP _1 and is not less than the RSRP_thres + Des_1, the number N _ rx1 of the first estimated antennas is 2. When the reference signal received power RSRP _1 of the cellular antenna Ant1 is other value, the first estimated antenna number N _ rx1 is 4.

305: the handset 100 is controlled to receive signals via the p cellular antennas. After waiting for a preset duration, go to 301.

Fig. 4 illustrates a flow diagram of an antenna control method, according to some embodiments of the present application.

Specifically, after step 405, the method of the embodiment of the present application may further include steps 406 to 407.

In some embodiments, the mobile phone 100 determines the maximum receiving parameter from the receiving parameters of the n second antennas, and if the maximum receiving parameter is greater than the first preset receiving parameter value, determines that the second estimated number q of antennas of the second antennas that the mobile phone 100 needs to turn on is the number n of currently turned on second antennas of the mobile phone 100; if the maximum receiving parameter is greater than the second preset receiving parameter value and less than the first preset receiving parameter value, where the second preset receiving parameter value is less than the first preset receiving parameter value, determining that a second estimated antenna number q of the second antenna that the mobile phone 100 needs to be turned on is equal to the number n of the second antennas that the mobile phone 100 has currently turned on plus a seventh preset value, and if the maximum receiving parameter is less than the second preset receiving parameter value, determining that the second estimated antenna number q of the second antenna that the mobile phone 100 needs to be turned on is equal to the number n of the second antennas that the mobile phone 100 has currently turned on plus an eighth preset value, where the eighth preset value is greater than the seventh preset value.

If SNR _ thres 2 (e.g., 5 dB) ≦ max (SNR _1, SNR _2, SNR _3, SNR _4) < SNR _ thres 1, and RSRP _ thres 2 (e.g., -95 dB) ≦ max (RSRP _1, RSRP _2, RSRP _3, SNR _4) < RSRP _ thres 1 (e.g., -90 dB), then the second predicted antenna number N _ rx2 takes 2.
