Taking the first electronic device 120 and the second electronic device 130 as mobile phones as examples, when the first electronic device 120 and the second electronic device 130 are both located in the signal coverage area of the network device 110, a communication connection can be established with the network device 110, so as to realize functions of internet surfing, voice communication, short message receiving and sending, and the like.

In the system shown in fig. 1, the performance of the radio frequency related hardware of the first electronic device 120 and the second electronic device 130 has a large impact on the signal quality and strength of the communication connection with the network device 110.

Therefore, how to enhance the signal of the electronic device without increasing the cost of the device is a urgent problem to be solved.

In view of this, embodiments of the present application provide a communication method and apparatus, an electronic device, a chip, and a readable storage medium.

The communication method provided in the embodiment of the present application is first described with reference to fig. 2, where the method is performed by a first electronic device and a second electronic device, and the first electronic device and the second electronic device may be the first electronic device 120 and the second electronic device 130 in fig. 2, respectively.

Fig. 2 is a depiction of a stand-by interaction of a first electronic device and a second electronic device, the method of fig. 2 comprising steps S220-S260.

In step S220, in response to the antenna performance of the first electronic device being weaker than the antenna performance of the second electronic device, first subscriber identity module, SIM, card information is sent to the second electronic device over a first communication connection with the second electronic device, the first subscriber identity module, SIM, card information being used to cause the second electronic device to register with the first network.

The IMSI number has uniqueness, and is a number used for uniquely identifying a mobile subscriber in a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN), and can be used for distinguishing effective information of the mobile subscriber. The K value is one of the security parameters of the SIM card to support bi-directional authentication, thus enhancing security.

In step S240, the second electronic device receives the first SIM card information, and registers to the first network according to the first SIM card information.

In step S260, the first electronic device performs network sharing through a second communication connection with the second electronic device.

The second communication connection may be any type of communication connection, and the communication manner may be the same as or different from the first communication connection. For example, when the first SIM card information is sent, the method can be performed by using a bluetooth connection mode, so as to reduce the power consumption of the device; the sharing of internet access can be performed by WiFi sharing technology to ensure a larger communication bandwidth and a faster communication rate between devices.

The manner in which network sharing between electronic devices occurs generally includes several techniques:

Bluetooth technology is used for forming a personal area network in a short distance between devices to exchange data, and is widely used for wireless connection between different devices, and communication connection and information interaction between different electronic devices can be realized through the Bluetooth technology.

Bluetooth low energy (Bluetooth Low Energy, BLE): bluetooth low energy is a personal area network technology designed by the bluetooth technology alliance, and aims to remarkably reduce power consumption and cost while maintaining the same communication range. Most mobile operating systems including IOS, android, windows Phone and Black Berry currently support bluetooth low energy technology, as well as the lightweight operating systems for wearable devices including Watch OS, android weather.

Mobile Hotspot (Mobile Hotspot): means a device or area providing internet access by way of a wireless local area network, supports cross-device, cross-platform connectivity according to IEEE 802.11U protocol as a standard, and allows a mobile device to automatically discover available networks, authorize and assign network permissions, allowing the device to automatically complete authentication direct internet surfing using a subscriber identity card (subscriber identity module, SIM) or other internet surfing credentials. Each mainstream mobile platform (Android, IOS, windows Phone, windows) supports mobile hotspot technology, including hotspots that provide hotspot functions and are opened when accessing other devices.

The WiFi sharing technology is performed through WiFi connection between electronic devices, specifically, a user can set a shared WiFi service set identifier (Service Set Identifier, SSID), an encryption mode, a password and the like in a manual opening mode; the SSID is a network name of the wireless shared network, and the name is not unique and can be a default value or set by a user. On one side of the first electronic equipment, a user controls to open a WiFi function, scans a wireless network list available in a preset range, selects a network which is the same as the SSID of WiFi shared by the second electronic equipment from the wireless network list, and can establish connection with the second electronic equipment after inputting a correct password.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 3, step S231-step S233 are further included before step S240.

In step S231, the second electronic device sends an authentication request to the first electronic device through the first communication connection.

In step S232, the first electronic device receives the authentication request, and if it passes, sends an authentication response message to the second electronic device through the first connection.

In step S240, the second electronic device receives the authentication response message and registers with the first network.

In some embodiments, with continued reference to fig. 3, the first radio frequency antenna parameter of the first electronic device and the second radio frequency antenna parameter of the second electronic device are respectively built into the first electronic device and the second electronic device. The first rf antenna parameter and the second rf antenna parameter may include, for example, standing wave ratio, return loss, direction coefficient, antenna gain, antenna efficiency, bandwidth, pattern, insertion loss, and the like of the antenna. The method of fig. 3 further comprises steps S211-S212.

In step S211, the first electronic device receives, through the first communication connection, the second radio frequency antenna parameter transmitted by the second electronic device.

In step S212, the first electronic device determines a first comparison result according to the first radio frequency antenna parameter stored in the first electronic device and the received second radio frequency antenna parameter. The first comparison result is used to indicate whether the antenna performance of the first electronic device is weaker than the antenna performance of the second electronic device.

In some embodiments, the comparison of the antenna performance of the first electronic device and the second electronic device may also be performed by the second electronic device, i.e. the first electronic device sends the first radio frequency antenna parameter to the second electronic device over the first communication connection; the second electronic equipment compares the received first radio frequency antenna parameters with the second radio frequency antenna parameters stored in the second electronic equipment, and determines a second comparison result, wherein the second comparison result is used for indicating whether the antenna performance of the first electronic equipment is weaker than that of the second electronic equipment; and the second electronic equipment sends the second comparison result to the first electronic equipment through the first communication connection.
