The present application claims to be submitted to the Chinese Patent Office on December 30, 2011, the application number is 201110457547.0, and the invention name is "a method, system and device for realizing terminal communication". Priority of the application, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical field

The present invention relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a method, system, and apparatus for implementing terminal communication. Background technique

With the rapid development of communication technologies, communication terminals have become an electronic device that is very popular in the current application, and the requirements for communication shields of users to terminals are getting higher and higher.

FIG. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of an existing terminal. As shown in FIG. 1 , the terminal mainly includes a communication module 101 and an application module 102. The communication module 101 mainly implements communication with a communication network, specifically, the communication module. The 101 receives the signal from the communication network, processes the received signal into a format recognizable by the application module 102, and sends the signal to the application module 102, and processes the signal sent by the application module 102 into a signal format transmitted by the communication network, and then sends the signal to the antenna through the antenna. The communication module; the application module 102 mainly implements human-computer interaction, and the application module 102 may include a main controller connected to the communication module 101, an input module (such as a keyboard input or/and a touch screen input), and an output module (such as an audio output or/and Video output), Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card module, power module, and storage module. In FIG. 1, the communication module 101 mainly implements interaction between the terminal and the network through the set antenna, and the communication module 101 directly supports multiple-input multiple-output-output (MIMO) and the number of antennas. Related.

According to the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) R10 (Release 10) standard protocol, terminals supporting Long Term Evolution Advanced (LTE-A) need to support up to 4 streams of MIMO. MIMO with a maximum downlink of 4 to 8 streams, but due to the following factors, it is difficult for current terminals to meet the 3GPP R10 requirements for MIMO supported by the terminal:

In order to ensure the MIMO gain of the terminal, there is a certain requirement on the correlation between signals received by different antennas of the terminal, which is to ensure the isolation between the antennas, but is limited by the size of the terminal, and the antenna provided on the terminal The isolation between them should not be too large. At present, two antennas are generally provided on the communication module of the terminal. That is to say, the terminal can only support MIMO (ie, dual stream) of two antennas. For example, if more antennas (such as 4 antennas) are set on the terminal, the antenna will be used. The isolation is too small to lose the MIMO gain that was originally pursued.

In summary, the existing communication terminals support lower communication capabilities and cannot meet the requirements of the evolving communication standard for communication shields, especially in 3rd generation (3rd Generation, 3G) / 4th generation (4rd Generation, 4G). The internet With the gradual maturity and the emergence of a large number of intelligent terminals, the demand for data services and the actual traffic volume have increased substantially. This has put forward higher requirements for the transmission capacity supported by the terminal.

And in the case of no conflict, the features in the embodiments and the embodiments in the present application can be combined with each other.

Embodiment 1

Embodiment 1 of the present invention provides a method for implementing terminal communication, which can be applied to the communication shown in FIG. In the system, as shown in FIG. 2, the communication system mainly includes:

Peripheral communication module 201 and terminal 202;

The peripheral communication module 201 may also be referred to as an enhanced processing card. The peripheral communication module 201 is provided with a set number of antennas for implementing communication with the wireless network. Specifically, the peripheral communication module 201 is configured. The number of antennas may be related to the communication capability to be assisted by the terminal. Generally, the higher the communication capability to be implemented by the terminal, the more antennas can be set on the basis of ensuring the isolation of the antenna; the terminal 202 can be in the ordinary The technical terminal is based on the communication terminal, and the technical improvement includes: the terminal can communicate with the peripheral communication module, and can combine the signals sent by the peripheral communication module and split the signal to be transmitted.

In the communication system shown in FIG. 2, there may be multiple communication modes between the peripheral communication module 201 and the terminal 202. Specifically, the peripheral communication module 201 and the terminal 202 may use a point-to-multipoint communication method, such as a wireless local area network (WLAN) communication mode, in which the peripheral communication module 201 can correspond to a plurality of terminals 202. Similarly, the terminal 202 can also correspond to a plurality of peripheral communication modules 201; A peer-to-peer communication method, such as a universal serial BUS (USB) communication method or a Bluetooth communication method, may be used between the module 201 and the terminal 202. In the communication mode, the peripheral communication module 201 corresponds to a terminal 202. Similarly, terminal 202 also corresponds to a peripheral communication module 201.

Based on the communication system shown in FIG. 2, the method for implementing terminal communication mainly includes a process of receiving a downlink signal and a process of transmitting an uplink signal, and each process is described in detail below.

First, the process of receiving the downlink signal

In the first embodiment, during the process of receiving the downlink signal, the peripheral communication module may serve as a signal enhancement module when the terminal is located in the wireless network coverage area, and may enhance the signal shield received by the terminal, or may be located outside the coverage area of the wireless network. As a relay module, the received signal is transmitted to the terminal.

1. When the peripheral communication module is used as a signal enhancement module, the processing flow for receiving the downlink signal

FIG. 3 is a schematic flowchart of receiving a downlink signal when the peripheral communication module is used as a signal enhancement module. As shown in FIG. 3, the method mainly includes the following steps:

Step 301: The peripheral communication module receives the wireless signal, and processes the received wireless signal to obtain a first digital baseband signal.

In the step 301, the peripheral communication module processes the received wireless signal, and can receive the wireless signal through the set antenna, and perform demodulation processing through the RF module and the baseband processing module to obtain the first digital baseband signal, and the process is The detailed implementation process is the same as the process after the existing communication terminal receives the wireless signal through the antenna, and will not be described in detail herein.

Step 302: The peripheral communication module sends the processed first digital baseband signal to the terminal.

In step 302, the peripheral communication module can detect the communication mode with the terminal in advance, and the communication mode can be determined by the working mode in which the peripheral communication module is set. For example, the working mode of the peripheral communication module is set to public. In the common mode, it indicates that the peripheral communication module can be connected to multiple terminals. At this time, the peripheral communication module can send a public key verification request to the connected terminal in the first communication manner, and send the first digital baseband signal to the terminal. At least one terminal that is verified; when the working mode of the peripheral communication module is set to the private mode, indicating that the peripheral communication module can be connected to a terminal, at this time, the peripheral communication module can send the second communication mode to the connected terminal The private key authentication request transmits the first digital baseband signal to a terminal that is authenticated. The first communication mode is a point-to-multipoint communication mode (such as a WLAN communication mode), and the second communication mode is a point-to-point communication mode (such as a Bluetooth communication mode or a USB communication mode).

The above steps 301 to 302 independently constitute a processing flow for the peripheral communication module to receive the downlink signal. Step 303: After receiving the first digital baseband signal, the terminal combines the first digital baseband signal and the second digital baseband signal processed by the wireless signal received by itself.

In step 303, the terminal processes the wireless signal received by the terminal to obtain a second digital baseband signal, wherein the time of the wireless signal received by the terminal is synchronized with the time when the peripheral communication module receives the wireless signal. The terminal processes the wireless signal received by the terminal, that is, receives the wireless signal through the set antenna, and performs demodulation processing through the radio frequency module and the baseband processing module, where the terminal processes the received wireless signal to obtain a digital baseband signal. The existing process will not be described here.

Step 304: The terminal processes the combined digital baseband signal.

In step 304, the terminal processes the combined digital baseband signal, that is, transmits the digital baseband signal to the application module included in the terminal for subsequent processing, for example, transmitting the digital baseband signal to the main controller of the application module, by the main control. The processing is performed by the existing terminal, and is not described here.

At this point, the process of receiving the downlink signal ends.

In the step 303 of the corresponding process, the terminal combines the first digital baseband signal and the second digital baseband signal, and may be combined by the frame identifier carried by each channel, and FIG. 4 shows the process of the terminal performing signal combining. Schematic diagram, as shown in FIG. 4, the merge process mainly includes the following steps:

Step 401: The terminal determines a digital baseband signal corresponding to each frame identifier from the first digital baseband signal sent by the peripheral communication module according to the frame identifier corresponding to each frame signal included in the second digital baseband signal obtained by the terminal.

In the step 401, the peripheral communication module sends all the received signals to the terminal. Therefore, the terminal needs to determine a useful signal from the signals sent by the peripheral communication module for merging.

Step 402: Combine signals having the same frame identifier according to the frame identifier.

At this point, the process of combining the signals of the terminal ends.

Through the above process, the peripheral communication module can also receive the wireless signal, and process the wireless signal into a digital baseband signal and then send it to the terminal, and the digital baseband signal obtained by the terminal to process the wireless signal received by the terminal and the number sent by the peripheral communication module. The baseband signals are combined to increase the shield of the received signal, that is, to improve the terminal support. Communication ability.

2. When the peripheral communication module functions as a relay module, the processing flow for receiving the downlink signal

FIG. 5 is a schematic flowchart of receiving a downlink signal when the peripheral communication module is used as a relay module. As shown in FIG. 5, the method mainly includes the following steps:

Step 501: The peripheral communication module receives the wireless signal, and processes the received wireless signal to obtain a first digital baseband signal.

Step 502: The peripheral communication module sends the processed first digital baseband signal to the terminal.

The specific execution process of the foregoing step 501 and step 502 is basically the same as the specific execution process of the foregoing step 301 and step 302, and details are not described herein again.

The above steps 501 to 502 independently constitute a processing flow for the peripheral communication module to receive the downlink signal.

Step 503: The terminal directly processes the first digital baseband signal sent by the peripheral communication module.

In the step 503, the process of processing the first digital baseband signal by the terminal is substantially the same as the process of processing the digital baseband signal obtained by the terminal in the above step 304, and details are not described herein again.

At this point, the process of receiving the downlink signal ends.

Through the above process, the peripheral communication module can receive the wireless signal when the terminal is not in the coverage of the wireless network, and can send the received wireless signal to the terminal, thereby ensuring that the terminal can receive the signal and improving the communication capability supported by the terminal.

In practical applications, after receiving the signal sent by the peripheral communication module, the terminal may be uncertain whether to directly process or merge first, that is, whether the peripheral communication module is used as a signal enhancement module or a relay module. In this case, the terminal can determine the subsequent processing manner by determining whether the wireless signal is received by the communication module included by itself. Specifically, if the terminal determines that the wireless signal is received by the communication module included by itself, the terminal merges the first digital baseband signal and the second digital baseband signal processed by the wireless signal received by itself. If the terminal determines that the wireless signal is not received by the communication module included by itself, the received first digital baseband signal is directly processed.

In the first embodiment, the peripheral communication module can work in different power consumption states. Specifically, the power consumption level of the peripheral communication module can be determined according to the communication mode set by the peripheral communication module, for example, in communication. When the mode is point-to-multipoint communication mode or long-distance communication mode, a higher power consumption level can be set, that is, the peripheral communication module can work under power consumption with a power consumption greater than a set threshold; the communication mode is a point-to-point communication mode. Or in the short-range communication mode, a lower power consumption level can be set, that is, the peripheral communication module can work under power consumption lower than the set threshold. Correspondingly, the step 301 included in the corresponding process of FIG. 3 and the step 501 included in the corresponding process of FIG. 5, when the peripheral communication module receives the wireless signal, the method includes: the peripheral communication module determines the communication mode with the terminal, and determines and determines The wireless signal is received in a power consumption level state corresponding to the communication method.

Second, the process of sending uplink signals In the first embodiment, during the process of transmitting the uplink signal, the peripheral communication module can be used as a signal enhancement module when the terminal is located in the coverage area of the wireless network, and the signal shield sent by the terminal is raised, and the terminal is located outside the coverage area of the wireless network. As a relay module, instead of the terminal, it sends a signal to the network side.

1. When the peripheral communication module is used as a signal enhancement module, the processing flow for transmitting the uplink signal

FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram showing the flow of transmitting an uplink signal when the peripheral communication module is used as a signal enhancement module. As shown in FIG. 6, the method mainly includes the following steps:

Step 601: The terminal determines a digital baseband signal to be sent.

Step 602: The terminal splits the digital baseband signal to obtain a first digital baseband signal and a second digital baseband signal.

In the step 602, the terminal may split the multi-stream digital baseband signal into two parts, each part including a digital baseband signal that sets the number of streams. In general, the number of streams of the digital baseband signal transmitted by the terminal may be split. Corresponding to the number of antennas included in the communication module of the terminal.

Step 603: The terminal sends the wireless signal processed by the second digital baseband signal to the network side. Step 604: The terminal sends the first digital baseband signal to the peripheral communication module.

In the step 604, the terminal may send the first digital baseband signal to the peripheral communication module according to the set communication mode, and the set communication mode may be a WLAN communication mode, a USB communication mode, or a Bluetooth communication mode, and the specific peripheral device The communication module is determined by the set working mode. For example, when the working mode set by the peripheral communication module is the common mode, the WLAN communication mode can be used, and when the working mode set by the peripheral communication module is the private mode, the USB communication can be performed. Mode or Bluetooth communication method.

The above steps 603 and 604 have no sequential execution sequence. In actual application, step 603 and step 604 may be performed in parallel, or step 603 may be performed after step 604 is performed.

The above steps 601 to 604 independently constitute a processing flow in which the terminal transmits an uplink signal.

Step 605: The peripheral communication module receives the first digital baseband signal sent by the terminal, and then processes the first digital baseband signal to obtain a wireless signal.

Step 606: The peripheral communication module sends the processed wireless signal to the network side.

The above steps 605 to 606 independently constitute a processing flow of the peripheral communication module in transmitting the uplink signal.

At this point, the process of transmitting the uplink signal ends.

Before the step 604 included in the corresponding process of FIG. 6 , that is, before the terminal sends the first digital baseband signal to the peripheral communication module, the method further includes:

The terminal is authenticated by a key of the peripheral communication module, wherein the key verification may be public key verification or private key verification, specifically which key verification is used, and the peripheral communication module is set to work. The mode determines that, in general, the peripheral communication module is set to the public mode, and the public key verification request is generally sent to the terminal. The terminal needs to input a public key. If the input public key is consistent with the public key saved by the peripheral communication module, it is determined that the terminal is authenticated by the public key of the peripheral communication module; if the peripheral communication module is set to the private mode Generally, the private key verification request is sent to the terminal, and the terminal needs to input the private key. If the input private key is consistent with the private key saved by the peripheral communication module, it is determined that the terminal is private through the peripheral communication module. Key verification.

According to the flow corresponding to FIG. 6, the terminal can split the signal to be transmitted and transmit it separately through its own communication module and the peripheral communication module, thereby improving the shield of the transmitted signal, that is, improving the communication capability supported by the terminal.

2. When the peripheral communication module functions as a relay module, the processing flow for transmitting the uplink signal

FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram showing a flow of transmitting an uplink signal when the peripheral communication module is used as a relay module. As shown in FIG. 7, the method mainly includes the following steps:

Step 701: The terminal determines a digital baseband signal to be sent.

Step 702: The terminal sends the digital baseband signal to be sent to the peripheral communication module.

The specific implementation principle of the step 702 is consistent with the specific implementation principle of the foregoing step 604, and details are not described herein again. Step 703: The wireless signal obtained by the peripheral communication module processing the received digital baseband signal.

Step 704: The peripheral communication module sends the processed wireless signal to the network side.

The execution principle of the above steps 703 and 704 is basically the same as that of the steps 605 and 606, and details are not described herein again.

At this point, the processing flow for transmitting the uplink signal ends.

According to the flow corresponding to FIG. 7, the terminal can send the signal to be sent to the peripheral communication module to transmit when not in the coverage of the wireless network, thereby ensuring that the terminal can transmit the signal, that is, the communication capability supported by the terminal is improved.

In practical applications, after the terminal determines the digital baseband signal to be transmitted, there may be uncertainty as to whether it is sent directly to the peripheral communication module or split first, that is, whether the peripheral communication module is used as a signal enhancement module or as a relay. Module, in this case, the terminal can determine whether it is currently within the coverage of the wireless network to determine the subsequent processing. Specifically, if the terminal determines that it is currently located within the coverage of the wireless network, the terminal performs splitting of the digital baseband signal to be sent to obtain the first digital baseband signal and the second digital baseband signal, if the terminal determines that the wireless network coverage is currently located. In addition, the terminal directly sends the digital baseband signal to be sent to the peripheral communication module.

Embodiment 2

The second embodiment of the present invention provides a specific application scenario of the LTE-A in the technical solution. FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram of the communication system provided in the second embodiment. In FIG. 8, the communication system corresponding to FIG. 2 may be referred to as a split type mobile phone, and the split type mobile phone mainly includes two parts:

Transmission capability of the system and multiple frequency bands, supporting communication with the base station side, including WLAN module or / and Bluetooth module, 2/3/4G communication module (including baseband and RF circuits), antenna, etc., when the LTE-A enhanced processing When the card 802 supports the LTE-A multi-antenna enhancement function, the smart terminal host 801 can additionally support 2 to 4 sets of antennas and RF channels. The appearance of the module is not limited. It can be designed as an electronic watch or a business card holder. It can be worn on the wrist, belt, or in the wallet.

In the split type mobile phone shown in FIG. 8, the intelligent terminal host 801 and the LTE-A enhanced processing card 802 mainly use WLAN (for high-speed data transmission) and Bluetooth (for low-speed data transmission) for short-range communication and transmission. User's voice and data. A USB port is also provided for use with wired connections.

In the split mobile phone shown in Fig. 8, the LTE-A enhanced processing card 802 can operate in the following modes:

1, high power mode or low power mode:

Preferably, when the user carries two modules with them, the WLAN can be set to a low power consumption mode and the transmission power is reduced (for example, -10 dBm or less) to reduce power consumption because they are close to each other;

Preferably, when the user needs to use the LTE-A enhanced processing card for relaying, the WLAN can be set to a high power mode to transmit at maximum power because they are far apart or have obstacles to block.

2, private mode or public mode:

Preferably, when the user only needs the two modules to communicate point-to-point, that is, the normal working state, the WLAN can be set to the private mode (using the private key), at which time other external WLAN users will not access, and the interference problem can pass through the channel. Automatically choose to evade;

Preferably, when the user needs the LTE-A enhanced processing card for the public relay, the WLAN can be set to the public mode (using the public key), at which time other external WLAN users can communicate with the LTE-A enhanced processing card.

The above working modes supported by the LTE-A enhanced processing card 802 can be combined to obtain the following working modes: Working mode 1: Low power consumption + Private mode:

In the working mode, the intelligent terminal host 801 and the LTE-A enhanced processing card 802 work in an equal state, that is, the two modules have the same configuration, and jointly support the LTE-A enhanced multi-antenna function.

In the downlink direction, the LTE-A enhanced processing card 802 receives the wireless signal sent by the base station, and transmits the digital baseband signals of the 2-4 streams through the antenna, the radio frequency, and the baseband demodulation to the WLAN module, and the WLAN module passes the wireless interface. The digital signal is transparently transmitted to the WLAN module in the smart terminal host 801; the intelligent terminal host 801 also receives the wireless signal sent by the base station, and obtains 2 to 4 streams through the demodulation of the antenna, the radio frequency, and the baseband. The digital baseband signal is combined with the 2-4 stream digital baseband signals of the LTE-A enhanced processing card transmitted by the WLAN module, and then sent to the baseband processor for further processing.

Here, it is explained that the working mode 1 is applicable to the smart terminal host 801 and the LTE-A enhanced processing card 802. The communication mode is WLAN, USB or Bluetooth.
