Wireless communication method and apparatus supporting a plurality of communication services {radio communication method and apparatus supporting multiple communication services}

Various embodiments relate to a communication method and apparatus, for example, to a wireless communication method and apparatus.

The wireless communication system has moved away from providing voice-oriented services in the early days of 3GPP's HSPA (High Speed Packet Access), LTE (Long Term Evolution), 3GPP2's HRPD (High Rate Packet Data), UMB (Ultra Mobile Broadband), or IEEE It is developing into a broadband wireless communication system that provides high-speed and high-quality packet data services like communication standards such as 802.16e.

As wireless communication systems develop, electronic devices that support wireless communication (eg, user devices such as mobile phones, tablet computers, personal computers, etc.) may include a plurality of communication systems to communicate with multiple communication networks. there has been For example, a circuit switching network (CS) that provides a voice call service (eg, a voice service through the cdma1x network) and a packet switching network (PS) that provides a data transmission/reception service (eg, a data service through LTE) can exist together.

In addition, as a wireless communication system develops, a communication technology using a plurality of antennas instead of a single antenna has been developed, and a technology for more efficiently restoring a physical signal to data is also being developed. For example, as one of the reception methods using a plurality of antennas, there is a diversity reception method. The diversity reception method obtains a plurality of received signals by receiving the same signal through different paths, and obtains a gain by combining the plurality of received signals. The paths may be divided in various ways, such as space, time, and frequency. For example, when using multiple antennas, multiple paths are spatially formed. When using the plurality of antennas, a plurality of hardware modules for processing signals received through each antenna may also need to be provided. That is, since signals received through each antenna are processed through different hardware modules, path independence is ensured, and a gain generated when combining can be increased.

Also, in a wireless communication system, reception performance may be improved by performing carrier aggregation (CA) using a plurality of antennas. CA refers to a method for performing communication with a wide bandwidth by simultaneously using carriers of different frequencies. When multiple carriers are used through CA, each carrier is referred to as a carrier component (CC). Since resources of each carrier are independently scheduled, the electronic device may simultaneously receive different data through each carrier. To this end, the electronic device supporting the CA may include transmission/reception modules corresponding to each carrier.

The electronic device 400 may communicate with the second communication network, for example. For example, the communication control module 450 may control the transmission/reception module 410 to transmit and receive signals of the second communication network. Since this is the same as or similar to the part described with reference to FIG. 6 , a description thereof will be omitted.

The communication control module 450 may control the first receiving module 430 to receive the paging signal of the first communication network when it wants to receive the paging signal of the first communication network (eg, CS network). For example, the first communication control module 451 may be connected to the first reception module 430 through the switch module 460 .

According to an embodiment, the electronic device 400 periodically or aperiodically receives at least one signal of the first communication network and the second communication network through at least one of the first antenna 473 and the second antenna 475. status (eg, electric field status) can be monitored. For example, the electronic device 400 transmits a signal (eg, a paging signal, a pilot channel signal, and a broadcast control signal) of the first communication network (eg, a CS network) through at least one of the first antenna 473 and the second antenna 475 channel signal or common pilot channel signal) can be monitored.

According to an embodiment, the electronic device 400 may generate a signal (eg, electric field) based on a paging signal of a first communication network or a second communication network received through at least one of the first antenna 473 and the second antenna 475. status can be obtained. For example, the electronic device 400 may receive the paging signal of the first communication network every about 2.56 seconds. When receiving the paging signal of the first communication network, the electronic device 400 may determine a signal state (eg, signal strength or communication quality) for the first communication network. For example, the electronic device 400 may check the state of the signal of the first communication network when the paging signal is received as well as before or after receiving the paging signal of the first communication network. According to an embodiment, the electronic device 400 may check a state of a signal of the first communication network based on at least two or more of various signals of the first communication network.

According to an embodiment, the electronic device 400 is configured to perform the first communication network among the first antenna 473 and the second antenna 475 based on a signal state (eg, signal strength) of the first communication network or the second communication network. Alternatively, an antenna for receiving the paging signal of the second communication network may be selected. For example, depending on the design of the antenna, the signal reception performance of the first antenna 473 may be higher than the signal reception performance of the second antenna 475, for example, by about 2 db. In this case, the electronic device 400 receives the paging signal of the first communication network (or the second communication network) by considering the signal state of the first communication network (or the second communication network) and the reception performance of the antenna together. Antenna for the purpose of this may be selectively changed from the first antenna 473 to the second antenna 475 and from the second antenna 475 to the first antenna 475.

For example, in the electronic device 400, the strength of the signal of the first communication network obtained through at least one of the first antenna 473 and the second antenna 475 (eg, the first antenna 473 having a relatively large signal reception capability) is A first designated range (eg, if it is large enough to provide a service provided through the first communication network, or if the communication quality is 'high' or 'medium' among 'high', 'medium', or 'low') case), the paging signal of the first communication network may be received through the second antenna 475 having a relatively smaller signal reception capability. For example, even if the electronic device 400 is currently receiving the paging signal of the first communication network through the first antenna 473 having a greater signal reception capability, the strength of the signal of the first communication network is within the first designated range. If applicable, the electronic device 400 may change the antenna for receiving the next paging signal of the first communication network from the first antenna 473 to the second antenna 475. Also, in this case, the electronic device 400 may receive the signal of the second communication network (eg, the data signal of the second communication network) through the first antenna 473 having a relatively large signal reception capability. Through this, the electronic device 400 may receive the signal of the second communication network with a signal strength greater than that of the first communication network and provide a data service.

According to one embodiment, the strength of the signal of the first communication network obtained through at least one of the first antenna 473 and the second antenna 475 (eg, the second antenna 475 having a relatively small signal reception capability) is 2 If it falls within the specified range (eg, if it is not large enough to provide the service provided through the first communication network, or if the communication quality is 'low' among 'high', 'medium', or 'low') In this case, the electronic device 400 may receive the paging signal of the first communication network through the first antenna 473 . For example, even if the electronic device 400 is currently receiving the paging signal of the first communication network through the second antenna 475 having a smaller signal reception capability, the signal of the first communication network corresponds to a second designated range. In this case, the electronic device 400 may change the antenna for receiving the next paging signal of the first communication network from the second antenna 475 to the first antenna 473 . According to one embodiment, a paging signal (eg, a paging signal received through a paging channel in CDMA) of a first communication network (eg, CS network) and a paging signal of a second communication network (eg, PS network) ( (Example: paging signals transmitted from the Mobile Mobility Entity of LTE) overlap each other, the communication control module 450 may give priority to the paging signal of the first communication network. Accordingly, even if the user uses a packet service using the second communication network, a voice call transmitted through the first communication network can be used. When the first receiving module 430 receives the paging signal of the first communication network, additional information on a signal processing method for the communication control module 450 to transmit and receive the signal of the second communication network is shown in FIGS. 9, 13 or It is described below with reference to FIG. 14 . According to one embodiment, when a high-priority service (eg, VoIP service) is provided through the second communication network, a signal of the first communication network (eg, a signal for receiving SMS/MSM) and a signal of the second communication network When (eg, a paging signal for VoLTE reception) overlap each other, the communication control module 450 may give priority to the signal of the second communication network. Hereinafter, an electronic device 800 according to various embodiments will be described with reference to FIG. 8 . Among the descriptions related to the electronic device 800 of FIG. 8 , the same or similar parts to the electronic device 400 described with reference to FIG. 4 will be omitted. 8 is a block diagram of an electronic device (eg, the electronic device 201) 800 according to various embodiments of the present disclosure.

The second transmission/reception module (eg, the RF module 234) 830 may transmit a signal to, for example, the first communication network or the second communication network, and receive a signal of the first communication network or the second communication network can do.

The communication control module 850 (eg, the communication processor 213 ) controls the first transmission/reception module 810 or the second transmission/reception module 830 to transmit at least one of a signal of the first communication network and a signal of the second communication network. can be processed According to an embodiment, the first communication control module 851 and the second communication control module 853 share the first reception module 815 or the second reception module 835 with each other, so that the Signals or signals of the second communication network may be processed simultaneously or sequentially. Additional information on the signal processing of the first communication network or the signal processing of the second communication network by the communication control module 850 is described below with reference to [Table 1].

According to an embodiment, the switch module 860 may include a plurality of switches. For example, the switch module 860 may include two switches corresponding to the reception module 815 or the first reception module 835 . In addition, the switch module 860 connects the receiving module 815 or the first receiving module 830 with the first communication control module 851 based on a signal processed by the first receiving module 815 or the first receiving module 835, or Alternatively, control (eg, switching) may be performed to connect with the second communication control module 853.

Since the first antenna 873 or the second antenna 875 is the same as or similar to the first antenna 473 of the electronic device 400, a description thereof will be omitted. The first duplexer 891 may connect the first antenna 873 and the first transmission/reception module 811 . The second duplexer 895 may connect the second antenna 873 and the second transmission/reception module 830 to each other.

In FIG. 8 , for convenience of explanation, it has been described that the first communication control module 851 may be connected to the first transmission module 811 or the second communication control module 853 may be connected to the second transmission module 831 . According to an embodiment, the first communication control module 851 and the second communication control module 853 may share at least one of the first transmission module 811 and the second transmission module 831 with each other. For example, when transmitting a signal to a second communication network (eg, PS network), when MIMO implementation is required, for example, when uplink MIMO (uplink MIMO) is required, the second communication control module 853 is configured to The first transmission control module 815 and the second transmission control module 831 may be connected.

Alternatively, according to an embodiment, the first communication control module 851 may be connected to the first transmission module 811 and the second transmission module 831 . According to an embodiment, when the first communication control module 851 and the second communication control module 853 share at least one of the first transmission module 811 and the second transmission module 831, the switch module 860 is configured The internal circuit may be different. In addition, the first communication control module 851 or the second communication control module 853 may further include at least one transmitter for sharing the first transmission module 811 or the second transmission module 831 .

Hereinafter, with reference to [Table 1], the signal processing of the first communication control module 851 or the second communication control module 853 will be described. [Table 1] shows the first to fourth states according to whether the electronic device 800 is connected to the first communication network or the second communication network. The first communication network may be, for example, a CS network, and [Table 1] shows cdma1x among the CS networks as an example. The second communication network may be, for example, a PS network, and [Table 1] shows LTE among PS networks as an example. Other examples of the CS network and the PS network are as described above.

state first communication network
(Example: cdma1x) second network
(e.g. LTE) One idle idle 2 connected idle 3 idle connected 4 connected connected

The "idle" state may indicate, for example, a state in which the electronic device 800 does not have a radio connection with a communication network (eg, the first communication network or the second communication network). In the "idle" state, the electronic device 800 may monitor a paging signal of the first communication network or the second communication network.

The “connected” state may indicate, for example, a state in which the electronic device 800 may establish a wireless connection with the communication network and transmit/receive signals to/from each other. In the “connected” state, the electronic device 800 may, for example, transmit and receive a control message to and from the communication network, and may transmit/receive user data. For example, in the “connected” state, the electronic device 800 performs a data service, a voice call, a base station registration (eg, LTE attach or cdma1x registration), or the communication network according to a condition when the electronic device 800 moves. At least one of the operation(s) of notifying the base station of

In the first state of [Table 1], both the first communication control module 851 (eg, cdma1x system) and the second communication control module 853 (eg, LTE system) may be in an idle state. In the first state, the first communication control module 851 (eg, cdma1x system) or the second communication control module 853 (eg, LTE system) is at least one of the first reception module 813 or the second reception module 835 can be used to monitor the paging signal.

According to an embodiment, the first communication control module 851 may be connected to one of the first reception module 815 or the second reception module 835 to receive a paging signal of the first communication network (eg, cdma1x). The second communication control module 853 may be connected to another one of the first reception module 815 and the second reception module 835 to receive a paging signal of the second communication network (eg, LTE). For example, since different communication systems use different paging cycles, each communication system (eg, the first communication control module 851 or the second communication control module 853) is, for example, an independent reception path (eg: Rx path) may be used to receive the paging signal. In addition, each communication system may control on/off for each reception path.

According to an embodiment, each of the first communication control module 851 and the second communication control module 853 monitors the paging signal or receives a signal using both the first reception module 815 and the second reception module 835. can For example, since the first communication control module 851 has priority over the second communication control module 853, the first communication control module 853 is configured to receive a signal from the first communication network. The receiving module 815 may be used as a first receiving path, and the second receiving module 835 may be used as a second receiving path. For example, the first communication control module 851 may also have priority for a reception path (eg, the second reception path) allocated to the second communication control module 853 . In this case, the second communication control module 853 assigns the first communication control module 851 to the second communication control module 853 even though it is a reception path (eg, the second reception path) allocated to the second communication control module 853. The allocated reception path can be used only when the assigned reception path is not used. According to another embodiment, since the second communication control module 853 has priority over the first communication control module 851, the second communication control module 853 is configured to receive a signal of a second communication network. The first receiving module 815 may be used as a first receiving path, and the second receiving module 835 may be used as a second receiving path. For example, the second communication control module 853 may also have priority for a reception path (eg, the first reception path) allocated to the first communication control module 851 .

According to an embodiment, the first communication control module 851 (eg, cdma1x system) is configured to obtain a diversity gain using a plurality of reception modules (eg, the first reception module 815 and the second reception module 835). When doing so, both receive modules (eg, two receive channels) can be used. For example, when the signal strength of cdma1x is weak (eg, when a BER value lower than a predetermined dB or larger than a predetermined BER value is obtained), the first communication control module 851 corresponds to the two receiving modules. Both receive channels are available. According to another embodiment, the second communication control module 853 (eg, an LTE system) uses two reception modules (eg, an LTE system) to obtain a diversity gain using a plurality of reception modules or to perform MIMO reception. Both receive channels) are available.

In addition, the first communication control module 851, for example, when the reception strength of the paging signal of the first communication network is low (eg, the first communication control module 851 does not detect the paging signal of the first communication network) case), the first communication control module 851 may receive the paging signal using both of the two reception paths. For example, when the paging signal strength of the cdma1x is equal to or less than a threshold, the first communication control module 851 may use both the two reception paths. When the paging signal strength of the cdma1x is sufficiently large, for example, exceeding a threshold, the first communication control module 851 may use one of the two reception paths. For example, when the paging signal strength of the cdma1x is sufficiently large, the first communication control module 851 receives the LTE signal through the first reception path and receives the paging signal of the cdma1x through the second reception path can do. Alternatively, in the first communication control module 851, when the signal strength of the cdma1x received through the first reception path is large enough and the signal strength of the cdma1x received through the second reception path is not large enough, the The paging signal of the cdma1x may be received through the first reception path. Also, due to other causes, for example, when the user blocks LTE communication, the first communication control module 851 may use both of the two reception paths. The first communication control module 851 may dynamically use the two reception paths according to various causes (eg, cdma1x signal strength, diversity request, paging signal or LTE network blocking).

When the first communication control module 851 (eg, cdma1x) uses the two reception paths, the signal of the second communication network (eg, data service through the LTE network) may not be processed in real time. The data reception of the LTE network may have lower priority than reception of the cdma1x signal, and since the need for real-time processing is relatively low, the user may not feel much inconvenience. For example, although the email server sends a paging signal indicating the arrival of an email to the electronic device 800, the electronic device 800 may not receive the paging signal. In this case, the email arrival confirmation may be slightly delayed, but it is unlikely to be a major issue for users.

According to an embodiment, when the second communication network (eg, LTE) supports a high-priority service (eg, voice service), the second communication control module has priority and the first receiving module and the second At least one of the receiving modules may be used to receive the signal of the second communication network. When the second communication control module 853 uses both of the two reception paths, the signal of the first communication network may not be processed in real time.

In the second state of [Table 1], the first communication control module 851 (eg, cdma1x system) may be in a “connected” state with the first communication network (eg, cdma1x network), and the second communication control module 853 (eg, LTE system) may be in an "idle" state. In the second state, the electronic device 800 may communicate with the first communication network (eg, cdma1x network), for example, a case in which a user makes a voice call. For example, the first communication control module 851 may include one reception path (eg, the first reception path) and two transmission paths (eg, a first transmission path corresponding to the first transmission module 811) among the two reception paths. Alternatively, it may communicate with the first communication network using one transmission path (eg, the first transmission path) among the second transmission paths corresponding to the second transmission module 831). The second communication control module 853 may receive the paging signal of the second communication network (eg, LTE network) using the other one of the two reception paths (eg, the second reception path).

Even in the second state, the first communication control module 851 may have priority over the second communication control module 853 based on the various causes. For example, the first communication control module 851 may use both of the two reception paths based on the priority. In this case, according to an embodiment, the second communication control module 853 cannot receive the paging signal of the second communication network or can use one reception path only when receiving the paging signal of the second communication network. have. According to an embodiment, in the second state, the second communication control module 853 may have priority over the first communication control module 851. For example, when a high priority service (eg, voice service, VoIP) is provided through the second communication control module 853, the second communication control module 853 performs at least one of the two reception paths based on the priority. is available. In this case, the first communication control module 851 may not receive the signal of the first communication network or may receive the signal of the first communication network using a reception path not used by the second communication control module 853 .

In the third state of [Table 1], the first communication control module 851 (eg, cdma1x system) may be in an “idle” state, and the second communication control module 853 (eg, LTE system) is in the second state It may be in a "connected" state with a communication network (eg, LTE network). In the third state, the electronic device 800 can communicate with the second communication network, for example, when a user uses a data service. For example, the second communication control module 853 uses one of the two reception paths (eg, the second reception path) and one of the two transmission paths (eg, the second transmission path). to communicate with the second communication network.

The first communication control module 851 may receive the paging signal of the first communication network (eg, cdma1x network) using the other one of the two reception paths (eg, the first reception path). For example, when the signal strength (eg, the signal of the first communication network or the signal of the second communication network) received through the two reception paths is sufficiently large, the first communication control module 851 performs two reception The paging signal of the first communication network may be received using one of the paths. For example, when the strength (eg, electric field strength or communication quality) of a signal received through the two reception paths is sufficiently large, the first communication control module 851 may receive a signal having a relatively low strength among the two reception paths. The paging signal may be received through a path (eg, a second reception path). According to an embodiment, the signal reception performance of the first antenna 873 may be equal to or higher than that of the second antenna 875 by about 3 db. The electronic device 800 (eg, the electronic device 400) receives the second antenna 875 when the strength of the electric field is large enough to provide a service (eg, the strength of the received signal is large enough). The paging signal of the first communication network may be received through a passage (eg, the second reception passage). Also, in this case, the electronic device 800 may receive a signal of the second communication network through a reception path including the first antenna 873 (eg, the first reception path) and provide a data service. . Through this, in the third state, the electronic device 800 may receive the signal of the second communication network corresponding to the data service with a higher signal strength. According to an embodiment, when the strength of the signal of the first communication network received only through one of the two reception paths is sufficient, the first communication control module 851 is configured to: can receive

According to an embodiment, when the paging signal of the first communication network is received, the first communication control module 851 may use both the first reception path and the second reception path. For example, the priority of the paging signal of the first communication network (eg, cdma1x network) may be higher than that of other signals. Accordingly, when the paging signal of the first communication network is received, the first communication control module 851 may dynamically use both of the two reception paths based on the various causes. In another embodiment, the priority of the signal of the second communication network may be higher than that of other signals. Accordingly, when communicating with the second communication network, the paging signal of the first communication network may not be received or may be received in a limited manner. For example, when the second communication network does not communicate or operates in the rank 1 mode of the second communication network, the paging signal of the first communication network may be received.

According to an embodiment, the second communication control module 853 may implement MIMO transmission and reception of signals of the second communication network. When the paging signal of the first communication network is received, one of the two reception paths may be used to receive the paging signal of the first communication network. When a signal of the first communication network (eg, a paging signal of the first communication network) is received, the second communication control module 853 may change a reception mode of the signal of the second communication network. For example, the second communication control module 853 may change a processing mode of a signal received from the second communication network. Even when the signal of the first communication network is received, additional information on how the second communication control module 853 can receive the signal of the second communication network is described below with reference to FIGS. 9, 13 or 14 . is described.

In the fourth state of [Table 1], the first communication control module 851 (eg, cdma1x system) may be connected to a first communication network (eg, cdma1x network), and the second communication control module 853 (eg, cdma1x network) : LTE system) may be in a state connected to the second communication network (eg, LTE network). For example, a user may receive a voice call while using a data service, or may use a data service during a voice call. For example, it may be a case where a user uses a data service such as web surfing while making a voice call. In this case, the electronic device 800 may be switched from the second state to the fourth state or may be switched from the third state to the fourth state.

In the fourth state, the first communication control module 851 or the second communication control module 853 may not use the two reception paths. This is because, for example, in the CS system, it may be advantageous for the first communication control module 851 to maintain a connection with the CS network if one reception path is continuously allocated to the first communication control module 851. In addition, since the second communication control module 853 is, for example, a PS system, if it is not a connected discontinuous reception (DRX), a physical downlink for every transmission time interval (TTI) This is because the control channel (PDCCH: physical downlink control channel) is received. According to an embodiment, when the second communication control module 853 operates as a connected discontinuous reception, the second communication control module 853 controls the second During a period in which a communication network signal is not received, the first communication control module 851 may use the reception path allocated to the second communication control module 853. Accordingly, the second communication control module 853 obtains a diversity gain. can

Referring again to FIG. 4 , the electronic device 400 of FIG. 4 is different from the electronic device 800 of FIG. 8 in that, for example, it includes one transmission module. Accordingly, the electronic device 400 may support the first to third states. For example, since a voice call has a higher priority than a data service, when a voice call is received during the data service, the electronic device 400 may stop the data service and perform the voice call. According to an embodiment, the user may set the priority of the voice call through the CS network and the data service (eg, data communication or voice call through the PS network) through a user interface. Also, for example, in the electronic device (eg, the electronic device 400 ), a service and an operation system may be set differently for each condition according to a requirement of a business operator.

Additional information on the status of the second communication network (eg, LTE) is described in relation to [Table 2].

In the case of the first state of [Table 2], the LTE system (eg, the communication control module 450) of the electronic device 400 may be in an "idle state" in which data communication signals of the PS network are not transmitted and received. Also, the electronic device 400 may be in a state of not receiving a broadcast signal or a multicast signal of the PS network. In this first state, the communication control module 450 may monitor the paging signal of the first communication network (eg, CS network) using at least one of the reception module 415 and the reception module 430 .

In the case of the second state of [Table 2], the communication control module 450 includes a "connected state" capable of transmitting and receiving a data communication signal (eg, a signal corresponding to a voice call or data) of the PS network, and a broadcast signal of the PS network Alternatively, the multicast signal may not be received. In this second state, the communication control module 450 may monitor the paging signal of the CS network using at least one of the reception module 415 and the reception module 430 . In the case of the third state of [Table 2], the communication control module 450 may be in an "idle state" in which data communication signals of the PS network are not transmitted/received and a state in which a broadcast signal or a multicast signal of the PS network can be received. For example, the third state may indicate a state in which there is no transmission and reception of data communication signals of the PS network, but a state in which a broadcast signal or a multicast signal (eg, eMBMS) of the PS network can be received. In this third state, the communication control module 450 may monitor the paging signal of the CS network using at least one of the reception module 415 and the reception module 430 . According to an embodiment, in the third state, the communication control module 450 may control at least one of the transmission/reception module 410 and the reception module 430 to receive a broadcast signal or a multicast signal of the PS network. In addition, the communication control module 450 may control the reception module 430 to periodically monitor the paging signal of the CS network. In the case of the fourth state of [Table 2], the communication control module 450 may be in a "connected state" capable of receiving a data communication signal of the PS network and a state of receiving a broadcast signal or a multicast signal of the PS network. . For example, the fourth state may indicate a state in which a data communication signal of the PS network can be transmitted and received and a broadcast signal or a multicast signal (eg, eMBMS) of the PS network can be received. In this fourth state, the communication control module 450 may monitor the paging signal of the CS network using at least one of the reception module 415 and the reception module 430 . According to an embodiment, in the fourth state, the communication control module 450 may control the reception module 415 to receive at least one of a data communication signal, a broadcast signal, or a multicast signal of the PS network, and control the transmission module 411 to It can transmit data communication signal of PS network. In addition, the communication control module 450 may control the reception module 430 to receive at least one of a data communication signal, a broadcast signal, or a multicast signal of the PS network. In addition, the communication control module 450 may control the reception module 430 to periodically monitor the paging signal of the CS network.

Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 9 , when the second communication control module (eg, the second communication control module 453 or 853) uses one reception path (eg, the first reception path or the second reception path) Let's take a look at the signal processing method. 9 is a timing chart showing data throughput of a signal of the second communication network (eg, PS network) when a paging signal of the first communication network (eg, CS network) is received. FIG. A solid line indicates a signal of a communication network currently being received by the second communication control modules 453 and 853, and a dotted line indicates a signal that is not currently being received by the second communication control modules 453 and 853 but can be received.

According to an embodiment, the second communication control modules 453 and 853 may receive a signal of the PS network through the first antennas 473 and 873. Also, the second communication control modules 453 and 853 may receive the PS network signal through the second antennas 475 and 875, and may receive the CS network paging signal, for example, in one period 1T. . For example, the second antennas 475 and 875 may convert a signal currently received at a first time point 901 from a signal of the PS network to a paging signal of the CS network, and transmit a signal currently received at a second time point 903 It is possible to switch from the paging signal of the CS network to the signal of the PS network. Although not shown, according to an embodiment, when the second antennas 475 and 875 receive the paging signal of the CS network, the first communication control modules 451 and 851 are configured to receive the paging signal of the CS network in advance. Primary feedback may be provided to the second communication control modules 453 and 853. The timing of receiving the paging signal of the CS network may be determined according to a series of procedures defined in the standards of the first communication network. The reception time is known. Accordingly, the first communication control modules 451 and 851 may provide the first feedback to the second communication control modules 453 and 853 in advance.

The second communication control modules 453 and 853 receiving the primary feedback from the first communication control modules 451 and 851 rank the PS network through secondary feedback (eg, LTE standard PUCCH (Physical Uplink Control Channel)). It can provide related information through an indicator or through a data channel). The time of secondary feedback to the PS network may be, for example, a third time point 905 that is earlier than the first time point 901 at which the second antennas 475 and 875 receive the paging signal of the CS network. The PS network receiving the secondary feedback converts the data transmission mode from the rank2 mode to the rank1 mode (eg, diversity mode) in advance, so that the first communication control modules 451 and 851 receive the signal of the CS network. During (eg, from the first time point 901 to the second time point 903 ), the second communication control modules 453 and 853 may receive data that is not lost.

Although not shown, according to an embodiment, the first communication control modules 451 and 851 transmit the first time to the second communication control modules 453 and 853 before the second time point 903 when the reception of the paging signal of the CS network ends. You can give feedback. In addition, the second communication control modules 453 and 853 that have received the primary feedback may perform the secondary feedback to the PS network. For example, the second communication control modules 453 and 853 may provide the second feedback to the PS network at a fourth time point 907 before the second time point 903 . Accordingly, the PS network may transmit data in the rank2 mode, for example, in a section in which reception of the paging signal of the CS network is terminated. Accordingly, the second communication control modules 453 and 853 may have the PS network data throughput of the Max value by receiving lossless PS network data.

The timing diagram showing the data throughput of the PS network enlarges the data throughput of the PS network in the indicated portions 1110 of the second antennas 475 and 875 . The data throughput rate of the PS network may be Max when the second antennas 475 and 875 receive the PS network signal (eg, at the third time point 905). This is because, for example, the second communication control modules 453 and 853 operate in the rank2 mode and receive the signals of the PS network using both the first antennas 471 and 871 and the second antennas 475 and 875. am. Although the second communication control modules 453 and 853 provide feedback to the PS network at the third time point 905, the second antennas 475 and 875 may still receive the PS network signal. The PS network, which has received the feedback in advance at the third time point 905, has, for example, the first antennas 473 and 873 at the first time point 901 when the second antennas 475 and 875 receive the paging signal of the CS network. Signals of the PS network can be transmitted in rank 1 mode so that data can be correctly received. Accordingly, at the first time point 901 , the data throughput of the PS network does not reach the Max, but may have a higher value than Low since no data is lost. Similarly, in the PS network that has received feedback in advance, the second communication control modules 453 and 853 of the PS network in the rank2 mode at the time when reception of the paging signal of the CS network is finished (eg, the second time 903). By transmitting a signal, the data throughput rate of the PS network may become Max from the third time point 903 .

In FIG. 9, for convenience of explanation, it has been described that the second communication control modules 453 and 853 are implemented as multi input multi output (MIMO), but the second communication control modules 453 and 853 may have various embodiments. For example, the second communication control modules 453 and 853 may be implemented in SM MIMO (spatial multiplexing MIMO) or SFBC (space-frequency block code) mode to process signals of the second communication network. The SM MIMO may be divided into, for example, a rank2 mode in which different data is received through a plurality of antennas or a rank1 mode in which the same data is received through a plurality of antennas. According to various embodiments, when the second communication control modules 453 and 853 operate in the rank1 mode or in the SFBC mode even when two antennas are used, the second communication control modules 453 and 853 depend on the implementation mode of the second communication control modules 453 and 853. Settings of the second communication control modules 453 and 853 may be adjusted. For example, when the second communication control modules 453 and 853 are operating in SFBC mode or SM MIMO rank 1, while the paging signal of the CS network is received, by adjusting the second communication control modules 453 and 853 It is possible to improve the degradation of signal reception performance of the PS network. In addition, most of the regions in which the electronic devices 400 and 800 can operate in the SM MIMO rank2 mode are limited to the vicinity of the base station of the second communication network. Accordingly, even when the paging signal of the CS network is received, reception performance of the signal of the PS network is not significantly affected.

According to an embodiment, the time point at which the paging signal of the CS network is received may be fed back from the base station of the CS network to the base station of the PS network. In this case, the base station of the PS network may change the transmission mode according to the time when the paging signal of the CS network is received. For example, when the electronic devices 400 and 800 receive the paging signal of the CS network, the PS network may transmit the PS network signal in the rank1 mode. Also, the PS network may transmit a signal of the PS network in the rank2 mode when the electronic device 400 or 800 completes reception of the paging signal of the CS network. In this case, for example, the electronic devices 400 and 800 may not provide feedback to the PS network at the time of reception of the paging signal of the CS network, and based on whether the paging signal of the CS network is received, the The reception mode of the PS network signal can be changed.

Hereinafter, an electronic device 1000 according to various embodiments will be described with reference to FIG. 10 . Among the descriptions related to the electronic device 1000, the same or similar parts to the electronic device 400 or the electronic device 800 will be omitted. 10 is a block diagram of an electronic device (eg, the electronic device 201) 1000 according to various embodiments of the present disclosure. The electronic device 1000 may include a transmission/reception module 1010, a communication control module 1050, and an antenna 1070. According to an embodiment, the transmission/reception module 1010 may include a transmission module 1013, a first reception module 1015, and a second reception module 1017, and the antenna 1070 may include a first antenna 1073 and a second antenna 1075 .

According to an embodiment, when the signal of the PS network is received through at least one of the first receiving module 1015 and the second receiving module 1017, at least one of the first receiving module 1015 or the second receiving module 1017 One may receive the signal of the CS network with priority over the signal of the PS network at least temporarily. For example, the communication control module 1050 may control the transmission/reception module 1010 so that the electronic device 1000 can receive the paging signal of the CS network according to the cycle of the paging signal of the CS network while communicating with the PS network. have.

According to an embodiment, when the signal of the CS network is received through at least one of the first receiving module 1015 and the second receiving module 1017, at least one of the first receiving module 1015 or the second receiving module 1017 One may determine whether to receive a signal from the PS network based on the reception strength of the signal received from the CS network. For example, when the signal strength of the CS network falls within a first range (eg, when the service of the CS network can be used even when using one antenna), the communication control module 1050 is configured to perform the first reception One of the module 1015 or the second receiving module 1017 may control to receive the signal of the PS network. Also, for example, the communication control module 1050 may control a receiving module having a relatively weak signal strength of the CS network among the first receiving module 1015 or the second receiving module 1017 to receive the PS network signal. have. For example, the control module 1050 receives a signal of the CS network through a receiving module having a relatively strong electric field strength (eg, signal strength) of the CS network among the first receiving module 1015 or the second receiving module 1017, and It can be controlled to receive a signal from the PS network through the weak reception module. Alternatively, when the signal strength of the CS network received by the first reception module 1015 and the second reception module 1017 is in a second range (eg, when one antenna is used, the service of the CS network cannot be used stably) If applicable, the communication control module 1015 may not receive the signal of the PS network. The first range or the second range may be set based on, for example, a threshold value of signal strength, which may vary according to the state of the electronic device, the user's setting, the region in which the electronic device is located, or the strength of the communication network, etc. can be set.

According to an embodiment, the communication control module 1050 is configured to allow at least one of the first receiving module 1013 or the second receiving module 1017 to receive a signal from the PS network based on the paging signal of the CS network or the PS network. You can control whether or not For example, even when the signal of the CS network has priority over the signal of the PS network, when the paging signal of the PS network is received, the signal of the PS network takes precedence over the signal of the CS network (eg, The priority of the signal of the PS network is higher than the priority of the signal of the CS network). Also, the communication control module 1050 may adjust the priority to be the same every time the paging signal is received, or may adjust the priority differently according to the number of times the paging signal is not received. For example, when the paging signal of the PS network is received at regular intervals (eg, 3.5 seconds), the priority of the CS network is prioritized and if the first paging signal is not received, the second paging signal is received In this case, the priority of the PS network may take precedence over the priority of the CS network.

Also, when the signal strength of the CS network is, for example, less than or equal to a reference value, the signal of the CS network may have priority over the paging signal of the PS network. For example, even when the first paging signal of the PS network is not received and the second paging signal of the PS network is received, if the signal strength of the CS network is less than the reference value, the signal of the CS network is It can take precedence over the signal of PS network. Further, according to an embodiment, when the paging signal of the CS network and the signal of the PS network overlap (eg, simultaneous or partial sections overlap), the communication control module 1050, for example, the CS network A higher priority may be given to the paging signal of the PS network than the paging signal of the PS network. This is to reduce user inconvenience by giving priority to the paging signal of the CS network because the user can react more sensitively to the signal of the CS network than the signal of the PS network.

According to an embodiment, priority may be given to a paging signal of the PS network based on a service provided through the PS network. For example, when the PS network provides a voice service and the CS network supports another service (eg, SMS), the paging signal of the PS network may have priority over the signal of the CS network. Alternatively, when the voice service of the PS network has priority over the voice service of the CS network, the paging signal of the PS network may have priority over the signal of the CS network.

According to an embodiment, when a signal received by at least one of the first receiving module 1015 or the second receiving module 1017 is changed, the communication control module 1050 provides feedback ( feedback) can be provided. For example, a signal received by the first receiving module 1015 or the second receiving module 1017 is changed from a signal received from the PS network to a signal received from the CS network, or from a signal received from the CS network When a signal received from the PS network is changed, the communication control module 1050 may provide feedback to the CS network or the PS network. According to an embodiment, when the paging signal of the CS network or the paging signal of another PS network is received, the MIMO receiving module among the first receiving module 1015 or the second receiving module 1017 sets the MIMO mode. Signals of the PS network may be received while changing to the first reception mode (eg, rank1 mode) or the second reception mode (eg, rank2 mode).

According to an embodiment, the communication control module 1050 transmits the reception mode to the PS network when switching of the reception mode for the PS network signal (eg, rank2 mode in rank1 mode or rank1 mode in rank2 mode) is required. You can provide feedback before the time of transition. For example, when at least one of the first receiving module 1015 or the second receiving module 1017 receives the paging signal of the CS network, the communication control module 1050 may be configured to receive the paging signal of the CS network before receiving the paging signal from the PS network. According to an embodiment, although not shown, the communication control module 1050 may include a first modem (eg, the first communication control modules 451 and 851) for processing the signal of the CS network; A second modem (eg, the second communication control modules 453 and 853) for processing the PS network signal may be included. In addition, when the paging signal is received from the CS network, the first modem may provide feedback on the reception of the paging signal to the second modem. According to an embodiment, although not shown, the transmission/reception module 1010 may further include a third reception module or a fourth reception module when the PS network provides a data service through CA. For example, the first reception module or the third reception module may receive a primary cell (Pcell) signal or a signal of a CS network, and the second reception module or the fourth reception module may receive a secondary cell (Scell) signal. It can receive a signal or a signal of a CS network. For example, when signals of the PS network (eg, PCell and Scell signals) are received through at least one of the first to fourth receiving modules, at least one of the first to fourth receiving modules receives the CS A signal received from the network may be received at least temporarily in preference to a signal received from the PS network.
