Description

Method, device and terminal for supporting multiple network data access

Technical field

The present invention relates to the field of mobile communication technologies, and in particular, to a method, an apparatus, and a terminal for supporting multiple network data access.

Background technique

The network is a virtual platform for information transmission, reception, and sharing. It connects various points, surfaces, and body information to achieve the sharing of these resources. The cloud terminal is a general term for the terminal device and the terminal platform service based on the cloud computing mode application. The interaction data between the cloud terminal and the virtual machine is inseparable from the transmission of the network. Due to the increasing amount of data transmitted, the cloud terminal has increasingly demanded network bandwidth. Increased, the transmission quality of the network is also increasing.

With the development of mobile communication networks, the fourth generation mobile communication system (referred to as 4G) transmission rate can reach 20Mbps, and even up to 100Mbps. 4G is a combination of 3G and WLAN (Wireless Local Area Networks), and can quickly transfer data, high quality, audio, video and images. 4G can download at speeds above 100Mbps, which is 25 times faster than current home broadband ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) (4 megabits) and can meet the requirements of almost all users for wireless services. In addition, 4G can be deployed where DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) and cable modems are not covered and then extended to the entire region.

At present, most cloud terminal products do not support access to 4G networks, and do not support simultaneous access of multiple networks.
