Wherein the first radio frequency signal may be a short range wireless communication signal, for example, may be a Bluetooth (BT) signal; for example, the introduction may be a WIFI signal. It is understood that the first radio frequency signal is not limited to BT signal, WIFI signal.

The first processing module 10, the second processing module 20, and the third processing module 30 are respectively configured to support transmission of the first radio frequency signal, and specifically, the first processing module 10, the second processing module 20, and the third processing module 30 may respectively support corresponding transmission of the first radio frequency signal from the radio frequency transceiver 40 to the first antenna ANT0, the second antenna ANT1, and the third antenna ANT2, and may also respectively support transmission of the first radio frequency signal from the first antenna ANT0, the second antenna ANT1, and the third antenna ANT2 to the radio frequency transceiver 40. Optionally, in the process of transmitting the first rf signal, the first processing module 10, the second processing module 20, and the third processing module 30 may directly transmit the first rf signal, or may process the first rf signal and then transmit the first rf signal. Optionally, when the first processing module 10, the second processing module 20, and the third processing module 30 can process the first rf signal and then transmit the processed first rf signal, the first processing module 10, the second processing module 20, and the third processing module 30 can be Front-end module (FEM) chips, respectively, which can support amplifying the rf signal to increase the transmission distance.

The rf transceiver 40 is configured with a first transceiver port BT0 TRX and a second transceiver port BT1 TRX that support the transceiver of the first rf signal, where the first transceiver port BT0 TRX and the second transceiver port BT1 TRX are independent and do not interfere with each other. The first transceiver port BT0 TRX is switchably connected to any one of the first processing module 10 and the third processing module 30, and the first transceiver port BT0 TRX may form two radio frequency paths that are switchably connected to any one of the first antenna ANT0 and the third antenna ANT2 through the first processing module 10 and the third processing module 30; in addition, the second transceiver port BT1 TRX is connected to the second processing module 20, and the second transceiver port BT1 TRX may form a radio frequency path through the second processing module 20 to be connected to the second antenna ANT1.

Wherein the target antenna group includes the second antenna ANT1, further includes any one of the first antenna ANT0 and the third antenna ANT2, based on the first transmit-receive port BT0 TRX and the second transmit-receive port BT1 TRX, on the one hand, the radio frequency transceiver 40 may switch between the first antenna ANT0 and the third antenna ANT2 to achieve switching of the target antenna group, for example, from the target antenna group including the first antenna ANT0 and the second antenna ANT1 to the target antenna group including the second antenna ANT1 and the third antenna ANT 2; on the other hand, the rf transceiver 40 may support the transmission and reception of the first rf signal by any one antenna in the target antenna group and support the reception of the first rf signal by another antenna in the target antenna group, so as to implement the function switching of the transmitting antenna and the receiving antenna in the target antenna group, for example, taking the target antenna group being switched to include the first antenna ANT0 and the second antenna ANT1 as an example, the rf transceiver 40 may implement the switching of the transmitting antenna from the first antenna ANT0 to the second antenna ANT1 and the receiving antenna from the second antenna ANT1 to the first antenna ANT0, and may also implement the switching of the transmitting antenna from the second antenna ANT1 to the first antenna ANT0 and the receiving antenna from the first antenna ANT0 to the second antenna ANT1.

Optionally, the first antenna ANT0, the second antenna ANT1 and the third antenna ANT2 may be disposed at different positions, so that one antenna of the first antenna ANT0, the second antenna ANT1 and the third antenna ANT2 always has good signal transceiving performance under some conditions, and thus, the radio frequency system can always select an antenna with good signal transceiving performance to transceive the first radio frequency signal, and signal transmission quality is improved.

It can be stated that the linearity of different antennas can change with time, possibly because one antenna is held by hand, contacts the human body, contacts metal, changes of the pattern with the gesture, and so on, and as an example of whether the antenna is held by hand, the communication device has different holding states in different application scenarios, for example, the application scenarios can be a vertical screen brushing short video, a horizontal screen holding watching video/playing game, a pocket/knapsack listening song, and so on, thus the antennas at different positions may be in a blocked or unblocked state, and different antennas have different signal receiving qualities. Further alternatively, the radio frequency transceiver 40 may determine a target antenna group according to signal quality information of the first antenna ANT0, the second antenna ANT1, and the third antenna ANT2, and determine a first target antenna for supporting transceiving the first radio frequency signal and a second target antenna for supporting receiving the first radio frequency signal in the target antenna group.

The control module is used for acquiring first signal quality information of each antenna of the target antenna group under the condition that the data receiving information of the target antenna group meets the preset condition in the current period time; and configuring a target antenna supporting the receiving and transmitting of the first radio frequency signal in the next period time in the target antenna group according to the first signal quality information.

The data receiving information may include information related to the number of data packets transmitted and received by the first antenna or the third antenna in the target antenna group, for example, the number of data packets transmitted and received in each period, the number of data packets transmitted and received in a cumulative manner in a plurality of periods, the number of data packets transmitted and received in a last preset time, and the like; and information related to the time of transmitting and receiving the data packets, the time of transmitting and receiving the preset number of data packets, the total accumulated period time of transmitting and receiving the data packets, and the like. The preset condition may be a condition that the aforementioned number-related information and/or time-related information of the first antenna or the third antenna is below a certain threshold. For example, the preset condition includes that the number of the data packets accumulated by the first antenna or the third antenna in the target antenna group before the antenna group is switched is smaller than a receiving threshold; or the accumulated operating time before the antenna group is switched is less than the time threshold. When the preset condition is met, only the switching of the receiving antenna and the transmitting antenna in the current target antenna group is needed, and the target antenna group is not needed to be switched.

The first signal quality information refers to information in the current period, which may represent signal quality during transceiving or receiving of each antenna of the target antenna group, and may include original and processed information associated with radio performance metrics of the received radio frequency signal, such as signal strength, received Power, reference signal received Power (REFERENCE SIGNAL RECEIVING Power, RSRP), signal received strength (RECEIVED SIGNAL STRENGTH Indicator, RSSI), signal-to-noise ratio (Signal to Noise Ratio, SNR), rank (Rank) of the MIMO channel matrix, carrier-to-interference-and-noise ratio (Carrier to Interference plus Noise Ratio, RS-CINR), frame error rate, bit error rate, reference signal received quality (REFERENCE SIGNAL reception quality, RSRQ), and the like.

Optionally, the first signal quality information includes signal reception intensity, and the target antenna group includes a first target antenna and a second target antenna; the control module can be used for acquiring signal receiving intensities of the first target antenna and the second target antenna; and under the condition that the difference value between the second signal receiving intensity of the first radio frequency signal received by the second target antenna and the first signal receiving intensity of the first radio frequency signal received by the first target antenna is larger than or equal to a preset threshold value, configuring the second target antenna as the target antenna of the next period time.

For example, the number of data packets accumulated by the first antenna or the third antenna in the current target antenna group before the antenna group is switched is greater than or equal to the reception threshold; or accumulating the operational time period before the antenna group switch to be greater than or equal to the time period threshold. When the preset condition is not satisfied, the target antenna group needs to be switched.

The second signal quality information refers to information that can characterize signal quality in the receiving and transmitting process of each antenna of the target antenna group after switching in the current period, and description of the signal quality information can refer to the above embodiment.

The control module is used for acquiring the first signal quality information of each antenna in the target antenna group before switching and the second signal quality information of each antenna in the target antenna group after switching under the condition that the data receiving information does not meet the preset condition, so that an antenna with better signal quality in the three antennas can be acquired as a target antenna for supporting the receiving and transmitting of the first radio frequency signal in the next period according to the first signal quality information and the second signal quality information, the switching of the receiving and transmitting antennas and the receiving antennas is realized, the radio frequency system can exert better performance, and the signal transmission quality is improved. Taking signal quality information as signal receiving intensity, and taking the example that the target antenna group is switched from the first antenna, the second antenna to the second antenna and the third antenna, the third antenna also receives the data packet after switching, so that the signal receiving intensity of the first antenna before switching, the signal receiving intensity of the third antenna after switching and the signal receiving intensity of the second antenna before/after switching can be compared, and the target antenna is judged in the three antennas. It can be understood that if the performance of the second antenna is better than the performance of the first antenna after the target antenna group is switched, the signal receiving intensities of the third antenna and the second antenna can be directly compared after the switching, and the target antenna can be determined according to the signal receiving intensities of the third antenna and the second antenna

When the difference value between the second signal receiving intensity and the first signal receiving intensity is greater than or equal to a preset threshold value, the second target antenna is better in performance than the first target antenna, so that the transceiver antenna can be configured as the second target antenna by the first target antenna, and the transceiver performance is improved; in contrast, in the case where the difference between the second signal reception intensity and the first signal reception intensity is smaller than the preset threshold, it is indicated that the first target antenna is better in performance than the second target antenna, so that the transceiver antenna can be kept as the first target antenna to improve the transceiver performance.

Optionally, a default target antenna group may be set, and a default transmitting/receiving antenna may be set in the default target antenna group, for example, a first antenna and a second antenna may be set as the target antenna group by default, and the first antenna may be set as the default transmitting/receiving antenna by default, where the first antenna may perform signal transmission/reception through the first transmitting/receiving port, and the second antenna receives a signal through the second transmitting/receiving port in the same receiving window without transmitting a signal, thereby configuring the target antenna of the next period according to the signal receiving intensities of the first antenna and the second antenna. It will be appreciated that the preset time period and the preset threshold may be set according to practical situations, and are not further limited herein.

Optionally, the signal receiving strength is that the target antenna group in the current period receives the average value of the signal strengths of the first radio frequency signals in the time of receiving the preset number of data packets, so that the target antennas with better performance can be obtained from the first target antenna and the second target antenna more accurately.

The data receiving information does not satisfy the preset condition, the second signal quality information, etc. may refer to the related descriptions of the above embodiments, and are not repeated herein.

Under the condition that the data receiving information does not meet the preset condition, the first signal quality information of each antenna in the target antenna group before switching and the second signal quality information of each antenna in the target antenna group after switching are obtained, so that the antenna with better signal quality in the three antennas can be obtained as the target antenna for supporting the receiving and transmitting of the first radio frequency signal in the next period according to the first signal quality information and the second signal quality information, the switching of the receiving and transmitting antennas and the receiving antennas is realized, the radio frequency system can exert better performance, and the signal transmission quality is improved. Taking signal quality information as signal receiving intensity, and taking the example that the target antenna group is switched from the first antenna, the second antenna to the second antenna and the third antenna, the third antenna also receives the data packet after switching, so that the signal receiving intensity of the first antenna before switching, the signal receiving intensity of the third antenna after switching and the signal receiving intensity of the second antenna before/after switching can be compared, and the target antenna is judged in the three antennas. It can be understood that if the performance of the second antenna is better than that of the first antenna after the target antenna group is switched, the signal receiving intensities of the third antenna and the second antenna may be directly compared after the switching, and the target antenna may be determined according to the signal receiving intensities of the third antenna and the second antenna.

Optionally, the first signal quality information and the second signal quality information may be acquired by the radio frequency transceiver, and the radio frequency transceiver configures a target antenna supporting the transmission and reception of the first radio frequency signal in a next period of time according to the first signal quality information and the second signal quality information, so that the steps may be performed by the radio frequency transceiver; or the first signal quality information and the second signal quality information can be obtained by the radio frequency transceiver and then output to the application processor or other processors, and the steps are executed by the application processor or other processors.

It can be understood that when the target antenna group is switched, the corresponding target channel and the corresponding processing module are also switched at the same time, so that the first target antenna and the second target antenna of the switched target antenna group can respectively support the receiving and transmitting of the first radio frequency signal.

It will be appreciated that in the above embodiment, the target antenna may be determined by the signal receiving strength, and in other embodiments, the determination may be performed in combination with various information, for example, when the target antenna is determined between the first antenna and the second antenna, or when the target antenna is determined between the second antenna and the third antenna, the determination may be performed by two indexes of the signal receiving strength and the signal to noise ratio; when the target antenna group is switched and the switching of the first antenna and the third antenna is involved, the judgment can be performed by three indexes of signal receiving intensity, signal to noise ratio and retransmission rate. Of course, the determination may be made in combination with other information, and is not illustrated herein.

Referring to fig. 10 (where "T" represents transmission and "R" represents reception in fig. 10), the above communication control method is further explained by taking the first radio frequency signal as the BT signal as an example:

In this embodiment, the rf transceiver supports two BT signal reception and one transmission, and uses the first transceiver port BT 0-the first antenna ANT0 to transmit and receive signals (e.g., BT0-ANT0 in fig. 10) by default, that is, uses the first antenna ANT0 as the target antenna, and then uses the second transceiver port BT 1-the second antenna ANT1 to receive signals in the same RX window without transmitting signals.

Step (1), judging before the target antenna group is not switched:

When the number of data packets transmitted and received at the first antenna ANT0 reaches the threshold th_packet1, the RSSI of the received packet at the first antenna ANT0 is averaged to obtain RSSI 0_0_ave (please refer to fig. 10 in addition, which can be understood as the RSSI average value of the data packet of the 0 TH set received by the first antenna ANT 0), the RSSI of the received packet at the second antenna ANT1 is averaged to obtain RSSI 1_0_ave (which can be understood as the RSSI average value of the data packet of the 0 TH set received by the second antenna ANT 1), and the RSSI 0_0_ave and the RSSI 1_0_ave are compared.

When RSSI 1_0_ave < RSSI 0_0_ave+th1 (corresponding to condition ① in the figure), it indicates that the performance of the first antenna ANT0 is better than that of the second antenna ANT1, and the first antenna ANT0 is configured as the target antenna; when the RSS1_1_ave > RSS0_1_ave+Th1 (corresponding to condition ② in the figure) and the RSS1_2_ave > RSS0_2_ave+Th1 (corresponding to condition ③ in the figure), it is indicated that the performance of the second antenna ANT1 is better than that of the first antenna ANT0 at this time, the second antenna ANT1 is configured as the target antenna. The TH1 may be compared with the difference between the signal receiving intensities of the two antennas, so as to determine the threshold values of the first antenna ANT0 and the second antenna ANT1, and the TH1 may be specifically adjusted according to the actual situation.

Step (2), judging the switching process of the target antenna group:

When the data packet received by the first antenna ANT0 reaches the reception threshold or reaches the periodic time point, the switching module in the above embodiment is controlled to disconnect the path between the first transceiving port and the first processing module 10 and to conduct the path between the first transceiving port and the third processing module 30, so as to switch the first antenna ANT0 to the third antenna ANT2.

When switching to the third antenna ANT2, RSSI 2_n_ave (which may be understood as an average value of the RSSI of the nth set of data packets received by the third antenna ANT 2), RSS 1_n_ave, RSSI 0_n-1_ave are compared:

If RSSI 2_n_ave is optimal, configuring a third antenna ANT2 as a target antenna; if RSS1_ [ n ] _ ave is optimal, selecting a second antenna ANT1 to transmit a data packet; if RSSI 0_n-1_ave is optimal, comparing the sizes of RSSI 0_n-1_ave and RSSI 1_n-1_ave, and configuring a target antenna according to the comparison result. For example, in fig. 10, RSS 1_3_ave (corresponding to condition ④ in the figure) is the optimal example, and the target antenna is configured as the second antenna ANT1.

Step (3), judging after the target antenna group is switched:

When the third antenna ANT2 is switched to and the signal reception intensities of the second antenna ANT1 and the third antenna ANT2 are determined to be retained once, the signal reception intensities of the second antenna ANT1 and the third antenna ANT2 may be determined in real time subsequently, referring to step (1), for example, in fig. 10, the target antenna is configured as the third antenna ANT2 by taking RSSI 2_4_ave > RSSI 1_4_ave+th1 (corresponding to condition ⑤ in the figure) and RSSI 2_5_ave > RSSI 1_5_ave+th1 (corresponding to condition ⑥ in the figure). Until the data packet received by the third antenna ANT2 reaches the reception threshold or reaches the periodic time point, the switch module in the above embodiment is controlled to turn on the path between the first transceiving port and the first processing module 10 and turn off the path between the first transceiving port and the third processing module 30, so as to switch the third antenna ANT2 to the first antenna ANT0, and repeat the step (2), for example, in fig. 10, the best example is RSS 0_6_ave (corresponding to condition ⑦ in the figure), and the target antenna is configured as the first antenna ANT0.
