technical field

The present application relates to the technical field of wireless communication, and in particular to a method, device and system for managing wireless channel resources.

Background technique

At present, in a home network or a work network, a wireless communication network, such as a wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) network, can be used to realize data sharing, device linkage, and cooperative work between terminals. It can be understood that with more and more terminals in a home network or a work network, the types of services between the terminals are becoming more and more abundant, and the demand for data transmission between the terminals is also increasing. However, channel resources available between terminals are limited. Therefore, the demand for infinitely growing data transmission conflicts with the limited channel resources.

Taking a Wi-Fi network as an example, two terminals can realize fast data transmission between two terminals by establishing a point-to-point (P2P) link. In a P2P scenario, before sending or receiving data, the terminal will perform channel detection, and decide which channel to send or receive data from based on the channel detection results, but the final decision-making channel may still be different from that used by other existing links in the surrounding area. channels overlap. Therefore, the existing method for the terminal to select a channel based on its own channel detection results needs to be improved.

Contents of the invention

In order to achieve the above purpose, the embodiment of the present application provides the following technical solutions:

In the first aspect, a wireless channel resource management system is provided, including: a first terminal, configured to send a first message to a third terminal, where the first message includes an identifier of the first terminal and an identifier of the second terminal; the third terminal , used to determine the configuration information of the target channel according to the identifier of the first terminal in the first message, the identifier of the second terminal, and the channel usage information table maintained by the third terminal; wherein the channel usage information table includes each channel reported by the first terminal The use information of the channel and the use information of each channel reported by the second terminal; the third terminal is also used to return the configuration information of the target channel to the first terminal; the first terminal is also used to communicate with the second terminal according to the configuration information of the target channel The terminal establishes a wireless link.

Wherein, the first message is used to request the third terminal to apply for a channel for the wireless link between the first terminal and the second terminal. That is to say, the channel information of multiple terminals (for example, the first terminal and the second terminal), that is, the channel usage information table, is centrally maintained by the third terminal (ie, the resource management device). Wherein, the third terminal and the multiple terminals form a device group. When the first terminal needs to establish a wireless connection with the second terminal, the first terminal applies for a channel to the third terminal that maintains the channel usage information table (that is, the channel information of the whole group), and the third terminal obtains the channel from the channel usage information table. Channel information around the first terminal and the second terminal, and based on this, determine the most suitable target channel for the two terminals to transmit data. It can be understood that, since the target channel is determined for the first terminal and the second terminal based on the global channel information maintained by the third terminal, it is possible to avoid conflicts between other terminals in the device group where the third terminal is located and this data transmission, In this way, the utilization rate of channel resources is improved, and the data transmission efficiency of the channel is improved.

Alternatively, the type of the target service includes a voice (voice) service, a video (video) service, a best-effort (best-effort) service, or a background (background) traffic service. In some examples, when the third terminal (resource management device) maintains the channel information of the whole group, it also establishes the association between each channel and the service information of the resident terminal. In this way, when the terminals of the first group need to establish a wireless link (for example, the first terminal and the second terminal need to establish a wireless link to execute the target service), the third terminal is based on the channel information of the whole group and the type of the target service. The channel suitable for the target service selected by the first terminal and the second terminal is conducive to improving the data transmission efficiency of the target service and improving the use experience of the target service.

detailed description

In the description of this application, unless otherwise specified, "/" means that the objects associated with each other are an "or" relationship, for example, A/B can mean A or B; "and/or" in this application is only It is an association relationship describing associated objects, which means that there can be three kinds of relationships, for example, A and/or B, which can mean: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone, among which A, B Can be singular or plural. And, in the description of the present application, unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more than two. "At least one of the following" or similar expressions refer to any combination of these items, including any combination of single or plural items. For example, at least one item (piece) of a, b, or c can represent: a, b, c, a and b, a and c, b and c, a and b and c, where a, b, c Can be single or multiple. Additionally, the words "exemplary" or "for example" are used to mean an example, illustration, or illustration. Any embodiment or design scheme described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the embodiments of the present application shall not be interpreted as being more preferred or more advantageous than other embodiments or design schemes. Rather, the use of words such as "exemplary" or "such as" is intended to present related concepts in a concrete manner.

In the embodiment of the present application, a channel, also referred to as a channel or a frequency band, is a data signal transmission channel in which a wireless signal is used as a transmission carrier. Taking Wi-Fi signal as an example, Wi-Fi signal supports 2.4G frequency band and 5G frequency band. As shown in FIG. 1 , it is a schematic diagram of channel distribution in the 2.4G frequency band. The working frequency of the 2.4G frequency band is 2.4-2.4835GHz, which is divided into 13 channels. The center frequency of each channel differs by 5MHz, and the channel bandwidth is 22MHz. However, in practice, the effective bandwidth is 20MHz, with 2MHz gaps used as guard bands for adequate attenuation along the edge bandwidth. It can be seen that the channels in the 2.4G frequency band are quite crowded, and only 3 channels without interference can be found in these channels, such as channel 1, channel 6, and channel 11; or, channel 2, channel 7, and channel 13, etc.

Among them, the 5G frequency band includes the 5.2G frequency band and the 5.8G frequency band. As shown in FIG. 2 , it is a schematic diagram of channel distribution in the 5.2G frequency band. The 5.2G frequency band includes 8 orthogonal 20MHz channels, among which, since

channels

52, 56, 60, and 64 are radar channels, these channels should be avoided as much as possible in the Wi-Fi network. In other words, in fact, there are only 4 channels available for Wi-Fi signals in the 5.2G frequency band, namely channel 36, channel 40, channel 44 and channel 48. It can be understood that these 4 channels can support one 80MHz bundle (that is, channels 36-48 form a channel with a channel width of 80MHz), two sets of 40MHz bundles (that is,

channels

36 and 40 form a channel with a channel width of 40MHz, or channels 44 and Channel 48 constitutes a channel with a channel width of 40 MHz). As shown in FIG. 3 , it is a schematic diagram of channel distribution in the 5.8G frequency band. The 5.8G band contains five orthogonal 20MHz channels. It can be understood that the 5 channels in the 5.8G frequency band can be bundled into one 80MHz channel (that is, channels 149-165 form a channel with a channel width of 80MHz), and they can be bundled into two 40MHz channels (that is, channels 149-153 form a channel with a channel width of 40MHz). channels, or channels 157-161 form a channel with a channel width of 40MHz). Among them, channel 165 only supports 20MHz bandwidth.

As shown in Figure 4, it is a schematic diagram of the channel distribution of 5G frequency bands (including 5.2G frequency band and 5.8G frequency band) available for Wi-Fi signals in China and the bundling relationship of each channel. Among them, there are only 13 20MHz channels, 6 40MHz channels, 3 80MHz channels, and 1 160MHz channel. It can be seen that channel resources are very limited.

In addition, with more and more terminals in the home network or work network, the types of services between the terminals are becoming more and more abundant, and the demand for data transmission between the terminals is also increasing. Therefore, how to reduce the interference between channels has become a Research hotspots.

In order to reduce inter-channel interference, the terminal performs channel detection before sending or receiving data, and then the terminal decides which channel to send or receive data from based on the channel detection result. However, the channel selected by the terminal may still overlap with the channels used by other existing links in the surrounding area. In one case, if the terminal perceives that other terminals on the same channel are also sending or receiving data, it will compete and back off based on the CSMA/CA mechanism. However, when the service load on one of the links is heavy, the backoff and contention mechanism will increase the service access delay on the other link, resulting in poor service experience. For example, in the case of no interference, the end-to-end delay does not exceed 25ms, but in the case of interference (such as co-channel interference), the end-to-end delay exceeds 100ms.

In another case, if the terminal does not perceive that other terminals in the same channel are also sending or receiving data, it continues to send or receive data. In this case, the signal-to-noise ratio of the data received by the receiving end is low, packet loss occurs, and then the channel is switched. However, channel conflicts may still occur after switching. For example, terminal A selects the 149/80MHZ channel to send data to terminal B, and terminal C also selects the 149/80MHZ channel to send data to terminal D. In addition, neither terminal A nor terminal C perceives the other party, neither will back off, and continue to send data. Then, the wireless signal sent by terminal A overlaps with the wireless signal sent by terminal C, which causes the signal-to-noise ratio of the wireless signal received by terminal B to be low, and packet loss occurs. Then, when terminal A judges that the peer end has lost packets, it will perform channel detection again and switch channels. Similarly, terminal C will perform channel detection again and switch channels. It can be understood that the switched channel of terminal A may still conflict with the switched channel of terminal C. It can be seen that the existing method for the terminal to select a channel based on its own channel detection results needs to be improved.

To this end, an embodiment of the present application provides a method for managing wireless channel resources. Multiple terminals (usually multiple terminals located within a certain range, and the distance between the multiple terminals is less than a certain threshold) cooperate to perform channel detection, and Based on the channel information detected by multiple terminals, a channel for data transmission is determined for the service of a single terminal. It can be understood that since the embodiment of the present application makes decisions based on channel information detected by multiple terminals within a certain location range, when a single terminal performs data transmission on the decided channel, it can avoid The interference of other terminals on this data transmission, thereby reducing the service delay on the terminal and improving the user experience of the service.

The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application are applicable to family scenarios, work scenarios, and the like. As shown in FIG. 5 , a schematic diagram of a family scene is provided for the embodiment of the present application. Multiple terminals are included in the home scene, and the multiple terminals may be located in one room or multiple rooms. In the method for managing wireless channel resources provided in the embodiment of the present application, one or more terminals may be selected from these terminals as a resource management device. The resource management device is used to centrally manage the wireless channel resources of one or more other terminals. Wherein, the wireless channel resources provided in the embodiments of the present application include, for example, channel resources corresponding to Wi-Fi signals. Wherein, the channel resource corresponding to the Wi-Fi signal includes, for example, a 2.4G frequency band, a 5G frequency band, and other frequency bands in the future. Exemplarily, you can select terminals (such as smart sockets, refrigerators, smart speakers, etc.) that are always powered on (or called always powered on) in the home network, or select wireless access point (wireless access point, AP) devices (such as a router, etc.), or select a terminal located in the middle of the room (such as a TV set), or select a terminal with a variable location (such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, etc.) as a resource management device. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the selection of the resource management device.

In other words, each resource management device in the home scene and one or more terminals managed by the resource management device form a device group. The resource management device of each device group centrally maintains the channel information reported by each terminal in the device group. When the terminals in the device group need to establish a wireless link to transmit data, based on the channel information managed by the resource management device of the device group, an appropriate channel is determined for data transmission. It can be seen that the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present application no longer selects a channel based on the channel information detected by a single terminal itself, but selects a channel based on the overall channel information of the device group where the terminal is located, which is beneficial to reduce the number of other terminals in the device group. Interference with the data transmission of the terminal during data transmission reduces the service delay and improves the user experience of the service on the terminal.

Here, taking a device group established in a home scene as an example, the establishment of the device group, the management of the channel resources of each terminal by the resource management device, and the channel selection when the terminal performs data transmission are described in detail.

As shown in FIG. 6 , it is a channel resource management system provided by an embodiment of the present application, and the channel resource management system includes multiple terminals. The multiple terminals include at least two managed devices 100 and at least one resource management device 200 . Wherein, at least two managed devices 100 and at least one resource management device 200 form a device group.

Here, the channel resource management system including a router, a mobile phone, a smart speaker, a PC, and a TV set are taken as examples for illustration. In some examples, a router may be selected as the resource management device 200, and the managed devices 100 may include mobile phones, smart speakers, PCs, and televisions. Certainly, in some other examples, it is also possible to select a smart speaker that is always powered on as the resource management device in the wireless channel resource management system, or select a mobile phone with a flexible location as the resource management device in the wireless channel resource management system. In some other examples, the channel resource management system may include two or more resource management devices 200 . The embodiment of this application does not limit the selection and quantity of resource management devices.

Here, the channel resource management system in FIG. 6 including a router, a mobile phone, a smart speaker, a PC, and a TV is taken as an example for illustration, and the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application are described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1. Establishment of equipment group

Taking the router as the resource management device and the mobile phone as the managed device as an example, the process of adding the mobile phone to the device group where the router is located is introduced. As shown in Figure 8, it is a schematic flow diagram of the mobile phone joining the device group where the router is located, and the flow includes:

S801. The router sends a broadcast message A, where the broadcast message A includes information such as an identifier of the first group and/or an identifier of the router. Correspondingly, the mobile phone receives the broadcast message A sent by the router.

In some embodiments, the factory setting of the router is a resource management device by default, so after the router is started, it can automatically send the broadcast message A. Alternatively, the user can also manually set the router as a resource management device, for example, setting a switch control in the setting interface of the router to enable the function of the router as a resource management device. Then, after the router is set as a resource management device, it automatically sends broadcast message A. Other terminals that are not set as resource management devices are managed devices by default. For example, as shown in FIG. 9 , it is a configuration interface 901 for a user to log in to the router through a PC. Wherein, in the interface 903 corresponding to the wireless basic setting option 902, when the user sets the resource management device option 904 to "on", the router is set as a resource management device.

In some other embodiments, each terminal setting includes a flag bit. When the flag bit satisfies a preset condition (for example, it is a first value, or is greater than or equal to a certain threshold), the terminal is set as a resource management device. When the flag bit does not meet the preset condition (for example, the second value, or less than a certain threshold), the terminal is set as a managed device. The value of the flag bit can be set by default during the factory settings of each terminal. Optionally, the user can manually modify or set the value of the flag bit. For example, the user may perform settings on the terminal, or may also perform settings on the terminal through a control device of the terminal.

In some other embodiments, the user can also perform unified settings for accessing multiple terminals in the home network through a specific application (such as a smart home application). For example, a user may select one or more terminals from multiple terminals to set as a resource management device. Then, a terminal that is not set as a resource management device is recorded as a managed device. For another example, the user sets different flag bits for the resource management device and the managed device.

A router serving as a resource management device may periodically broadcast a message A for notifying surrounding terminals of the identifier of the router and the identifier of the device group (denoted as the first group) in which the router is located. Wherein, the identifier of the router is, for example, a media access control (Media Access Control, MAC) address, or an ID (also called an international mobile equipment identity (international mobile equipment identity, IMEI) or a serial number, etc.) and the like. The identifier of the first group may be a number or a character string, or may be an identifier of a router or the like. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific form of the identification of the first group.

In some other examples, the router may also send a broadcast message A when finding a new terminal around, so that the new terminal determines whether to join the first group. Alternatively, the router may also send the broadcast message A according to the user instruction (for example, when the user restarts the router, or the user instructs the resource management device to refresh the device group through the smart home application). Alternatively, the router may also send a broadcast message A when receiving a request from the first group of terminals to establish a wireless link (such as a P2P link), so that the router updates the channel information of each channel maintained, and subsequently according to the latest channel information for The newly established wireless link decides the most suitable channel. Alternatively, the router may also send a broadcast message A when detecting that a terminal in the first group has changed its location, so that the terminal whose location has changed can determine whether to stay in the first group. Or, when the router detects that the signal strength of the wireless signal sent by the terminal in the first group is lower than the preset threshold, it sends a broadcast message A, so that the terminal can determine whether to stay in the first group. That is, the embodiment of the present application does not limit the timing for the router to send the broadcast message A.

S802. The mobile phone determines to join the first group according to the received signal strength indication (received signal strength indication, RSSI) of the received broadcast message A.

It can be understood that the RSSI of the broadcast message A can be used to evaluate the signal quality of the wireless link between the mobile phone and the router. Obviously, adding a resource management device capable of establishing a high-quality wireless link with the mobile phone is beneficial to the communication between the two parties when the subsequent resource management device manages the mobile phone. In other words, when the mobile phone confirms that the signal strength indicated by the RSSI of the broadcast message A is greater than or equal to the preset threshold, it determines to join the first group, and then executes step S803. When the mobile phone confirms that the signal strength indicated by the RSSI of the broadcast message A is less than the preset threshold, it determines not to join the first group, and ignores the broadcast message A.

In some embodiments, the mobile phone may receive broadcast messages A sent by multiple (for example, M, M is an integer greater than 1) resource management devices, and the mobile phone may choose to join the multiple resource management devices according to the signal strength indicated by the RSSI. A device group in which M1 resource management devices in the device belong, where M1 is an integer greater than 0 and less than or equal to M. Optionally, the mobile phone may also choose to join the device group where M1 resource management devices among the resource management devices are located according to information such as device type, device feature, and device location of the resource management devices. For example, give priority to terminals that are always powered on (such as smart sockets, refrigerators, smart speakers, etc.), or choose AP devices (such as routers, etc.), or choose terminals located in the middle of the room (such as TV sets), or choose locations Variable terminals (such as mobile phones, tablet computers, etc.) are used as resource management devices. Of course, the mobile phone can also choose to join the device group where M1 resource management devices among the multiple resource management devices belong based on any combination of signal strength indicated by RSSI, device type, device feature, and device location. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific manner of choosing to join the device group where the resource management device is located.

S803. The mobile phone sends a request message B to join the first group to the router, where the request message B carries the identification and authentication information of the mobile phone. Correspondingly, the router receives the request message B from the mobile phone.

Wherein, the identification of the mobile phone includes, for example, the MAC address or ID (also called IMEI or serial number, etc.) of the mobile phone. The authentication information of the mobile phone includes, for example, account information logged in by the mobile phone, or an identifier of a Wi-Fi network connected to the mobile phone, and the like.

S804. The router determines that the mobile phone is allowed to join the first group, and sends a confirmation message C to the mobile phone. Correspondingly, the mobile phone receives the confirmation message C.

Exemplarily, the router determines whether to allow the mobile phone to join the first group according to the authentication information carried in the request message B sent by the mobile phone. For example, when it is determined that the mobile phone login account is the same as the router login account, or that the mobile phone login account and the router login account belong to the same group (such as a family account), or that the mobile phone login account and the router login account have established an association relationship, Or the mobile phone and the router are connected to the same Wi-Fi network, then the router determines to allow the mobile phone to join the device group where the router is located, that is, the first group. The router records the mobile phone as a member of the first group and returns a confirmation message C to the mobile phone. Then, after receiving the confirmation message C, the mobile phone also records its own resource management device as a router.

It can be understood that other managed devices in FIG. 6 can also be added to the device group where the router is located, that is, the first group, through the same or similar method. Thus, the first group is established, and the first group includes routers, mobile phones, smart speakers, PCs and smart screens. Wherein, the router is the resource management device of the first group. It is easy to understand that since each terminal in the first group is connected to the router through a wireless signal, and the RSSI received by the router is less than or equal to the preset threshold, therefore, each terminal in the first group is located near the router, then Each terminal in the first group is usually located within a certain location range.

It should also be noted that, here, the first group includes one resource management device as an example for description, and in some other embodiments, the first group may also include two or more resource management devices. In some examples, when the first group includes two or more resource management devices, one of the resource management devices can be used as the master device, and the other resource management devices are slave devices, and the synchronization channel between the master device and the slave device information. In other words, the slave device can act as a backup device for the master device. When the main device is powered off or fails, the auxiliary device can continue to work instead of the main device, such as receiving the channel information reported by the terminals in the first group, and deciding the most suitable channel for any terminal in the first group to transmit data, etc.

2. The resource management device maintains the channel information of each channel based on the channel information reported by each terminal in the device group

Still taking the first group includes routers, mobile phones, smart speakers, PCs, and smart screens, and the router is the resource management device of the first group as an example, the process of centralized management of channel information corresponding to each terminal in the first group by the router is introduced.

In some examples, after a terminal (such as a mobile phone) joins the first group, the terminal performs channel detection, and reports to the resource management device (ie, router) in the first group to the resource management devices (ie, routers) detected by the terminal according to the channel detection results. The channel information facilitates the resource management device to centrally manage the information of each channel. In another example, after a certain terminal joins the first group, it may not perform channel detection first, and wait until the resource management device instructs all terminals in the first group or a specific terminal to report channel information, then perform channel detection and report information on each channel. Thus, the resource management devices (ie, routers) in the first group maintain the information of each channel. Exemplarily, the resource management device maintains a channel usage information table, and the subsequent resource management device will update the channel usage information table according to the channel information reported by each terminal in the first group. Here, the channel maintenance of each channel by the resource management device using the channel usage information table is taken as an example for illustration.

Wherein, the channel usage information table maintained in the above-mentioned resource management device is used to represent the usage status of each channel, that is, includes channel information of each channel. The channel information of each channel includes, for example, information about terminals residing on each channel (referred to as resident terminals for short), service information of each resident terminal, RSSI corresponding to the resident terminal, and duty cycle of each channel, etc. . Wherein, the information about the resident terminals includes the identification and the quantity of the terminals resident on each channel (where the quantity is optional). Here, the identifier of the terminal on each channel may be, for example, the MAC address and ID of the terminal. It should also be noted that the terminal identifier here may uniquely specify a specific terminal, or the terminal identifier cannot uniquely specify a specific terminal, and this embodiment of the present application does not limit the terminal identifier. The service information of each resident terminal includes any one or more of the type, main frequency, bandwidth, and duty cycle of each service performed by each terminal.

Optionally, the channel information of each channel may also include a time stamp of each channel information, and the time stamp may be used to mark the update time of each channel information, or identify the validity period of each channel information, or identify the aging time of each channel information. It can be appreciated that the time stamps of various channels may be different. Then, the resource management device can request each terminal to re-report the channel information of a specific channel (or all channels) according to the time stamp of each channel, and update the channel information of a specific channel based on the channel information re-reported by each terminal, and update the channel information of a specific channel. For the specific update process, please refer to the detailed description below.

Optionally, the above channel usage information table may also include one or more of the identifier of the first group (or the identifier of the resource management device), the number of managed devices in the first group, and the identifiers of each managed device item. Of course, the channel usage information table may also include other information related to the channel, and this embodiment of the present application does not limit the content contained in the channel usage information table.

For example, as shown in Table 1, it is an example of a channel usage information table provided in this embodiment of the present application.

Table I

It can be seen from Table 1 that the resource management device summarizes the channel information reported by each terminal in the first group according to different terminals, and when any terminal in the first group needs to establish a wireless link to transmit data, it can The channel information corresponding to the terminal is used for decision-making. For example, the router analyzes the channel information reported by the mobile phone and knows that the mobile phone can scan the surrounding terminals as smart speakers and smart screens, and the smart speakers are performing service 1 on channel 149, and the smart screen is performing service 2 on channel 153. If the mobile phone establishes a wireless link with other terminals (such as a PC) for data transmission, and if channel 149 or channel 153 is selected to send or receive data, both the smart speaker and the smart screen will cause co-channel interference to the mobile phone. If the mobile phone selects the channel 157 adjacent to the channel 153 to send or receive data, the service 2 of the smart screen will cause adjacent channel interference to the mobile phone. Therefore, when the mobile phone establishes a wireless link with other terminals for data transmission, in the 5G frequency band, channel 161 and channel 165 are preferentially selected, and channel 157 is secondarily selected. Similarly, the router analyzes the channel information reported by the PC and knows that when the PC establishes a wireless link with other terminals for data transmission, in the 5G frequency band, channel 157, channel 161, and channel 165 are preferred, and channel 153 is selected second. When the mobile phone and the PC need to transmit data, it can be seen from the channel information corresponding to the mobile phone and the PC that in the 5G frequency band, channel 161 and channel 165 are preferred, and channel 157 is selected second.

For example, as shown in Table 2, it is an example of another channel usage information table provided in the embodiment of the present application.

Table II

It can be seen from Table 2 that the resource management device summarizes the interference information (interfering terminals and interfering services, etc.) on each channel according to the channel information reported by each terminal in the first group according to different channels. When the link transmits data, decisions can be made based on the interference information of each channel. For example, if a mobile phone establishes a wireless link with other terminals (such as a PC) for data transmission, there are terminals (smart speakers and smart screens) that interfere with the mobile phone on

channels

149 and 153. If channel 149 or channel 153 is selected to send or receive data, both the smart speaker and the smart screen will form co-channel interference to the mobile phone. If the mobile phone selects the channel 157 adjacent to the channel 153 to send or receive data, the service 2 of the smart screen will cause adjacent channel interference to the mobile phone. Therefore, when the mobile phone establishes a wireless link with other terminals for data transmission, in the 5G frequency band, channel 161 and channel 165 are preferentially selected, and channel 157 is secondarily selected. Similarly, when a PC establishes a wireless link with other terminals for data transmission, in the 5G frequency band, it preferentially selects channel 157, channel 161, and channel 165, and selects channel 153 secondarily. Therefore, on the whole, when the mobile phone and PC need to transmit data, channel 161 and channel 165 are preferred in the 5G frequency band, and channel 157 is selected second.

It should be noted that the above Tables 1 and 2 are examples of the channel usage information table maintained by the resource management device, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit the content and format of the channel usage information table maintained by the resource management device. In addition, it should be noted that the channel usage information table maintained by the resource management device may also include channel information detected by the resource management device.

As shown in Figure 10, it is a schematic flow diagram of a resource management device (such as a router) requesting to report channel information to a managed device, and the flow includes:

S1001. The router determines a target channel that needs to be updated.

The router may determine the target channel that needs to be updated according to the preset rule A. Among them, the preset rule A includes: periodically updating the channel information of all channels in the channel usage information table, or updating the channel information of all channels in the channel usage information table according to the aging time of the channel usage information table, or periodically updating the channel information The channel information of each channel in the information table is used, or the channel information of each channel is updated respectively according to the aging time of each channel in the channel usage information table. It should be noted that, the embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific content of the preset rule A.

Exemplarily, the router may respectively set an aging time for each channel in the channel usage information table. The aging time of each channel can be the same or different. In an example, the router may determine the characteristics of each channel according to previous channel information of each channel, and set different aging times for different channels according to different characteristics. For example, a faster aging time is set for a channel with a faster channel change, and a slower aging time is set for a channel with a slower channel change. That is to say, the update period of the channel with faster channel change is shorter, and the update period of the channel with slower channel change is longer. In this way, it is not only beneficial to improve the accuracy of the channel information of each channel maintained by the router, but also beneficial to reduce the frequency of channel detection and frequent upload of channel information by managed devices.

Then, the router may monitor in real time or periodically (for example, the period is 5ms) detect the aging time of each channel in the information table. In some examples, the router may determine that the channel whose aging time has expired is a target channel that needs to be updated. In other words, the target channel includes some channels in the channel usage information table. In other examples, the router may also determine that all channels need to be updated after monitoring the channel with the aging time expired, that is, the target channel includes all channels in the channel usage information table (for example, all channels in the 5G frequency band, and /or, all channels in the 2.4G band).

As another example, the router may also set an aging time for the channel usage information table. That is to say, when the aging time of the channel usage information table expires, the router requests to update the channel information of all channels in the channel usage information table. That is, the target channel includes all channels (for example, all channels in the 5G frequency band, and/or, all channels in the 2.4G frequency band).

S1002. The router sends a request message D, where the request message D is used to request to report the channel information of the target channel.

Correspondingly, the managed devices in the first group (that is, terminals other than routers, such as mobile phones, smart speakers, PCs, and smart screens) receive the request message D.

Exemplarily, when the target channel includes some channels in the channel usage information table, the above request message D includes identifiers of these partial channels (ie, identifiers of the target channel). Wherein, the identifier of the channel may include, for example, the serial number of the channel, the center frequency of the channel, the bandwidth of the channel, and the like. When the target channel includes all channels, the above request message D may not include the identifier of the target channel. Optionally, when the request message D does not contain the identifier of the target channel or contains specific content, it is used to indicate to report the channel information of all channels.

In some embodiments of the present application, the router may require all terminals in the first group to report channel information of the target channel. Then, the above request message D may be a broadcast message. That is, all terminals in the first group can receive the request message D. In some other embodiments, the router may also designate some terminals in the first group to report the channel information of the target channel. Then, the above request message D may be a multicast message or a unicast message. Wherein, the multicast message or the unicast message carries the identifier of the designated terminal. For example, the router may designate the terminals in the first group that are always powered on to report the channel information of the target channel. Alternatively, the router may select a terminal at a specific location to upload channel information of a target channel according to the location information of each terminal in the first group. For example, when there are multiple terminals with relatively close distances in the first group, the router can select one of the terminals to report the channel information of the target channel. In the embodiment of the present application, which terminals in the first group are selected by the router to report the channel information of the target channel Information is not limited.

S1003. The managed devices in the first group perform channel detection.

Among them, the managed devices in the first group can perform channel detection of all channels, that is, perform channel detection for all channels (for example, all channels of the 5G frequency band, and/or, all channels of the 2.4G frequency band). Alternatively, channel detection may also be performed only for specific channels (that is, some channels in the channel usage information table). It should be noted that, when the target channel includes all channels, the terminals in the first group perform channel detection on all channels. When the target channel includes a specific channel, the terminals in the first group may perform channel detection on all channels, or may only perform channel detection on a specific channel.

It should be noted that the router can also perform channel detection, and subsequent routers can also modify the channel usage information table according to the information in the routing detection. Certainly, the router may not perform channel detection, and other terminals in the first group may perform channel detection.

In the embodiment of the present application, the terminal can use energy detection (energy detection, ED), carrier sense (carrier sense, CS), or energy carrier hybrid detection to perform channel detection. The specific channel detection method can refer to the existing technology, here No longer.

S1004. The managed devices in the first group report the channel information of the target channel to the router.

Correspondingly, the router receives the channel information of the target channel reported by the managed devices in the first group.

S1005. The router updates the channel information of the target channel according to the reported channel information of the target channel.

Exemplarily, the router updates relevant content in the channel usage information table according to the content and format of the maintained channel usage information table and the channel information of the target channel reported by other terminals. For example, if the router maintains the channel usage information table shown in Table 1, the router needs to update the target channel information corresponding to each terminal. In addition, the router also updates the time stamp in the channel usage information table, such as the aging time of the channel usage information table or the aging time corresponding to the target channel in the channel usage information table. For another example, if the router maintains the channel usage information table shown in Table 2, the router needs to update the information of the interfering terminal on the target channel. In addition, the router also updates the time stamp in the channel usage information table, such as the aging time of the channel usage information table or the aging time corresponding to the target channel in the channel usage information table.

It should be noted that FIG. 10 above shows a process in which the resource management device actively requests other terminals in the device group to report channel information. It can be understood that, in some other embodiments, other terminals in the device group may also actively report channel information to the resource management device.

The mobile phone actively reports the channel information to the router as an example for illustration. As shown in Figure 11, it is a schematic flow diagram of the mobile phone reporting channel information to the router, and the flow includes:

S1101. The mobile phone determines a target channel that needs to be updated.

The mobile phone can determine according to preset rule B whether to report channel information, and which channel information to report (that is, which channels are included in the target channel). Wherein, the preset rule B may include: the mobile phone periodically reports the channel information of all channels, or the mobile phone periodically reports the channel information of each channel. Wherein, the period corresponding to each channel may be the same or different. The preset rule B may also include reporting channel information of all channels or reporting channel information of a specific channel when a certain condition is detected. Among them, the above-mentioned detection meets certain conditions, including: the mobile phone detects that data needs to be sent or received, or the mobile phone receives the above-mentioned request message D (used to request the mobile phone to report the channel information of the target channel) sent by the router, etc. The specific content of the preset rule B is not limited.

In some embodiments, the mobile phone can periodically update the channel information of all channels. That is to say, in each cycle, the mobile phone determines to update the channel information of all channels, and the target channel includes all channels (for example, all channels in the 5G frequency band, and/or, all channels in the 2.4G frequency band). In some examples of this embodiment, the mobile phone periodically updates the channel information of all channels when it is idle (when there is no data transmission task). When the mobile phone is performing the data transmission task, it suspends to periodically update the channel information of all channels, and when the mobile phone finishes the data transmission task, it periodically updates the channel information of all the channels. In other examples of this embodiment, the mobile phone periodically updates the channel information of all channels when it is idle or when performing data transmission tasks.

In other embodiments, the mobile phone can set different update periods for different channels. For example, the mobile phone can determine the characteristics of each channel according to the previous channel information of each channel, and then set different update periods for different channels according to different channel characteristics. For example, set a shorter update period for channels with fast channel changes, so as to obtain the changed channel information in time; set a longer update period for channels with slow channel changes, to avoid frequent useless channel detection, frequent Upload useless channel information. In this embodiment, the target channel is the channel that needs to be updated each time.

It should be noted that other terminals (smart speakers, PCs and smart screens) in the first group can also actively report channel information to the router. The specific rules adopted by other terminals in the first group (smart speakers, PCs, and smart screens) may be the same as those adopted by mobile phones, or may be different.

S1102. The mobile phone performs channel detection.

When the target channel includes all channels, the terminals in the first group perform channel detection of all channels. When the target channel includes a specific channel, the terminals in the first group may perform channel detection on all channels, or may only perform channel detection on a specific channel.

S1103. The mobile phone reports the channel information of the target channel to the router.

S1104. The router updates the channel information of the target channel.

The router updates the relevant content according to the channel information of the target channel reported by other terminals according to the format and content of the maintained channel usage information table (for example, refer to Table 1 and Table 2 above). In addition, the router also updates the time stamp in the channel usage information table, such as the aging time of the channel usage information table or the aging time corresponding to the target channel in the channel usage information table.

Figure 11 illustrates the scenario where the mobile phone actively performs channel detection and reports channel information to the router. In some other scenarios, there is also service information (such as service identification or service type) between the first group of terminals (including between managed devices, and between managed devices and resource management devices). , channel information occupied by the business, etc.). For example, send its own service information to a trusted terminal. The trusted terminal may be, for example, logging in with the same account or logging in with an account belonging to the same group (such as a family group). That is to say, the mobile phone can also receive channel information sent by other terminals (for example, information about services performed by other terminals), then the mobile phone can also report the received channel information to the router separately, or the mobile phone can also report the received channel information to the router. The information is reported to the router together with the channel information obtained by itself through channel detection.

So far, the router as the resource management device in the first group maintains the latest channel information reported by each terminal in the first group. When any terminal in the first group needs to establish a wireless link with other terminals, it can The maintained channel information table is used to select the most suitable channel for data transmission.

3. Based on the channel information maintained by the first group of resource management devices, select a channel for the first group of terminals to transmit data

Taking the data transmission between the mobile phone in the first group and the PC performing the target service as an example, the process of channel decision based on the channel information maintained by the resource management device in the first group is introduced.

In some embodiments of the present application, when the mobile phone in the first group needs to perform data transmission of the target service with the PC, the mobile phone or the PC applies for a channel to the router, and the router decides a channel for the mobile phone or the PC based on the maintained channel information. For example, as shown in FIG. 12, it is a schematic flowchart of a method for a router to select a transmission channel for a mobile phone and a PC based on channel information maintained by the router. The process includes:

S1201. The mobile phone discovers the PC.

In a specific scenario, when a mobile phone needs to perform data transmission of a target service, the mobile phone broadcasts a discovery request frame for discovering surrounding terminals. After the PC receives the discovery request frame broadcast by the mobile phone, it may also broadcast a discovery response frame, wherein the discovery response frame carries the identifier of the PC. After receiving the discovery response frame sent by the PC, the mobile phone can obtain the identifier of the PC. For example, when the mobile phone operates a "share" (or "forward", etc.) control in the interface of an application (such as a gallery), the mobile phone starts to search for surrounding devices and finds a PC. In this example, the mobile phone first determines the target service (that is, sharing pictures), and then obtains the identity of the peer end (that is, the PC).

In another specific scenario, the mobile phone enables the Wi-Fi scanning function in the system settings to discover surrounding terminals and PCs. After the user selects the PC, the user operates the mobile phone and instructs the mobile phone to perform target services (such as sharing pictures, etc.). Wherein, the process of the mobile phone discovering the PC is the same as the above example, and will not be repeated here. In this example, the mobile phone obtains the identity of the opposite end (that is, the PC) first, and then obtains the information of the target service.

In yet another specific scenario, when the mobile phone and the PC are close together, they can also automatically discover each other. In an example of this scenario, after the mobile phone and the PC automatically discover each other, they may execute a specific target service (such as a voice projection service, a screen projection service, etc.) by default. It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the process of discovering the mobile phone and the PC is not specifically limited. In addition, it should be noted that the mobile phone and the PC have not yet established a wireless connection during the execution of this step.

S1202. The mobile phone sends a request message E for applying for a channel to the router. Correspondingly, the router receives the request message E.

Wherein, the request message E carries the identification of the mobile phone and the identification of the PC. Wherein, the identification of the mobile phone includes, for example, the MAC address, ID (also called IMEI or serial number, etc.) of the mobile phone, or a login account, etc. of the mobile phone. The identifier of the PC includes, for example, the MAC address of the PC, ID (also referred to as IMEI or serial number, etc.), or a login account, and the like.

Optionally, the request message E may also carry the service type of the target service or the identifier of the target service. Wherein, the service type of the target service includes delay-sensitive service or high-bandwidth service and the like. Alternatively, the service type of the target service includes a voice (voice) service, a video (video) service, a best-effort (best-effort) service, or a background (background) traffic service. Among them, the voice service generally transmits voice over internet protocol (VoIP) traffic based on the Internet protocol, which is most sensitive to delay and has the highest priority. Video traffic is also delay-sensitive, and its priority is lower than voice traffic and higher than the other two traffic (best effort traffic and background traffic traffic). Best-effort transmission services, such as the transmission of data traffic for web page access, etc., best-effort transmission services have certain requirements for delay, but they are not so sensitive. Background traffic business is the least sensitive to delay requirements, such as the traffic of transferring files and printing jobs. It can be understood that services of different service types have different capabilities of preempting the air interface, and generally services with high priority have a higher capability of preempting the air interface than services with low priority.

In addition, the target services in this embodiment of the present application include but are not limited to voice/video call services, audio/video playback services, screen projection/audio projection services, picture/file sharing services, and the like.

S1203. The router configures the target channel for data transmission of the target service by the mobile phone and the PC according to the identification of the mobile phone and the identification of the PC carried in the request message E, and the channel usage information table maintained by the router itself.

In a specific implementation, the router can search the channel information of the channels around the mobile phone and the channel information of the channels around the PC from the channel usage information table according to the identification of the mobile phone and the identification of the PC carried in the request message E. The channel information of channels around the mobile phone includes channel information reported by the mobile phone, or channel information of an interference channel of the mobile phone, or channel information of other channels excluding the interference channel of the mobile phone. Wherein, the interference channel of the mobile phone means that there are other terminals on the channel that will interfere with the mobile phone (same-channel interference or adjacent-channel interference, etc.). The channel information of channels around the PC includes channel information reported by the PC, or channel information of an interference channel of the PC, or channel information of other channels excluding the interference channel of the PC. Wherein, the interference channel of the PC means that there are other terminals on the channel that will interfere with the PC (same-channel interference or adjacent-channel interference, etc.). Then, based on the channel information of the channels around the mobile phone and the channel information of the channels around the PC, the target channel is configured for the target business to be performed by the mobile phone and the PC. The configured information includes information such as the main frequency and bandwidth of the target business.

The channel information maintained in the channel usage information table introduced above includes, but is not limited to, information about terminals residing on each channel (referred to as resident terminals for short), business information of each resident terminal, and RSSI corresponding to resident terminals, etc. . Wherein, the information about the resident terminals includes the identification and the quantity of the terminals resident on each channel (where the quantity is optional). The service information of each resident terminal includes any one or more of the type, main frequency, bandwidth, and duty cycle of each service performed by each terminal. The contracting model of each service can be determined based on the service type of the terminal residing on each channel, where the contracting model includes continuous contracting and intermittent contracting. If the packet sending model is continuous sending, the service will occupy the channel for a long time, and the time for occupying the channel can be determined according to the overall size of the data packet. If the packet sending model is intermittent packet sending, the data packets of other services can be transmitted in the interval when the service does not send data packets. The throughput of each channel can be determined based on the service type, main frequency, bandwidth, duty cycle, etc. of the terminal on each channel. The router can combine the channel information such as the throughput, duty cycle, and RSSI of each channel to select the target channel for the mobile phone and the PC to transmit the data of the target service, including selecting the center frequency and bandwidth of the target channel. That is, the configuration information of the target channel includes the center frequency and bandwidth of the target channel.

Optionally, the router may also determine the target channel in conjunction with the service type of the target service or a specific target service for data transmission of the target service by the mobile phone and the PC. It can be understood that different service types correspond to different priorities, and different priorities correspond to different air interface preemption capabilities. For example, the priority order of service types from high to low is: voice service type>video service type>best effort service type>background traffic service type. In some other specific implementations, the router may also select the target channel for transmitting the data of the target service for the mobile phone and the PC in combination with the priority of the target service and the priority of the service carried out on each channel.

It should be noted that the embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific method adopted by the router in the process of configuring the target channel for the mobile phone and the PC based on the channel information in the channel usage information table.

S1204. The router sends configuration information of the target channel to the mobile phone, and updates the channel usage information table. Correspondingly, the mobile phone receives the configuration information of the target channel sent by the router.

Wherein, the configuration information of the target channel includes a central frequency point and a bandwidth of the transmission channel. It can be understood that the router needs to update the channel usage information table maintained by the router according to the configuration information of the target channel. For example, information such as terminal information residing on the target channel, relevant information of the target service, and a time stamp corresponding to the target channel are updated.

S1205. The mobile phone performs data transmission of the target service with the PC on the target channel.

The mobile phone and the PC establish a wireless link (for example, a P2P link), and the link uses a target channel for data transmission.

To sum up, multiple terminals in the first group cooperate to perform channel detection, and report the detected channel information to the resource management device of the first group, and the resource management device maintains the global channel information of the first group. Subsequently, when the first group of terminals needs to establish a wireless link (for example, a mobile phone and a PC need to establish a wireless link), the resource management device makes the best decision for the terminal to establish a wireless link based on the maintained global channel information of the first group. A suitable channel is used to transmit data. It can be understood that, since it is based on the global channel information of the first group to determine the channel for the mobile phone and the PC, the present application can avoid the data transmission between other terminals in the first group and this time (that is, the data transmission between the mobile phone and the PC). ) conflict, thereby improving the utilization rate of channel resources and improving the data transmission efficiency of the channel.

In addition, when the resource management device maintains the first group of global channel information in the embodiment of the present application, the association between each channel and the service information of the resident terminal is also established (as shown in Table 1 and Table 2, the channel information of each channel The information includes the service information of the resident terminal, such as service identifier or service type. Moreover, the service type or specific target service of the target service is also referred to when deciding on the target channel). In this way, when the terminals in the first group need to establish a wireless link (for example, a mobile phone and a PC need to establish a wireless link to execute a target service), the resource management device According to the type of mobile phone and PC, the channel suitable for the target business is selected, which is conducive to improving the data transmission efficiency of the target business and improving the user experience of the target business. On the whole, the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application can optimize the utilization efficiency of the global channel resources in the first group, and improve the overall use experience of terminal services in the first group.

It should also be noted that, in some other scenarios, when the router selects a channel for the target service of the mobile phone and the PC based on the channel information reported by each terminal in the first group, it can also dynamically switch channels used by other terminals. For example, smart speakers and smart screens perform voice projection services on channel 153. When the mobile phone and the PC perform the target service (for example, VoIP service), after performing the above steps S1201 to S1203, if the router decides that the optimal channel for the VoIP service of the mobile phone and the PC is also channel 153. And because the priority of the VoIP service is higher than that of the voice casting service, the router determines to execute the VoIP service of the mobile phone and the PC on the channel 153, and can also notify the smart speaker or the smart screen to switch the channel and switch the channel 153 to another channel. It can be seen that, based on the first set of global channel information and the first set of global service information, the router allocates the optimal channel for the service of each terminal in the first set, so as to improve the overall utilization rate of the channel resources in the first set.

In other embodiments of the present application, when the mobile phone in the first group needs to perform data transmission of the target service with the PC, the mobile phone or the PC can also request channel information from the router, and make a decision based on the channel information returned by the router for transmission The data channel of the target service. For example, as shown in FIG. 13, it is a schematic flowchart of a method for selecting a transmission channel for a mobile phone based on channel information maintained by a router. The process includes:

S1301. The mobile phone discovers the PC.

For this step, reference may be made to step S1201, which will not be repeated here.

S1302. The mobile phone sends a request message F to the router, where the request message F is used to request channel information around the mobile phone and the PC. Correspondingly, the router receives the request message F.

Wherein, the request message F carries the identification of the mobile phone and the identification of the PC. Optionally, the request message F may also carry the service type of the target service or the identifier of the target service. Wherein, the service type of the target service includes delay-sensitive service or high-bandwidth service and the like. Alternatively, the service type of the target service includes a voice service, a video service, a best effort service or a background traffic service, and the like. In addition, the target services in this embodiment of the application include but are not limited to voice/video call services, audio/video playback services, screen projection/audio projection services, picture/file sharing services, and the like.

In some other embodiments, after the mobile phone discovers the PC, that is, after step S1301 is executed, the mobile phone may determine channel information around the mobile phone based on the channel information cached by itself. Or, after the mobile phone discovers the PC, it performs channel detection again, and then determines the channel information around the mobile phone based on the re-acquired channel information. In other words, the mobile phone does not need to request the information of the channels around the mobile phone from the router, that is, the request message F may not carry the identification of the mobile phone, or the request message F is not used to request the channel information of the channels around the mobile phone from the router, and the router does not need to query the mobile phone in the subsequent step S1303. surrounding channel information.

S1303. The router queries the channel information around the mobile phone and the channel information around the PC according to the channel usage information table maintained by itself.

In a specific implementation, the router can search the channel information around the mobile phone and the channel information around the PC from the channel usage information table according to the identifier of the mobile phone and the identifier of the PC carried in the request message E. The channel information around the mobile phone includes channel information reported by the mobile phone, or channel information of an interference channel of the mobile phone, or channel information of other channels excluding the interference channel of the mobile phone. Wherein, the interference channel of the mobile phone means that there are other terminals on the channel that will interfere with the mobile phone (same-channel interference or adjacent-channel interference, etc.). The channel information around the PC includes channel information reported by the PC, or channel information of an interference channel of the PC, or channel information of other channels excluding the interference channel of the PC. Wherein, the interference channel of the PC means that there are other terminals on the channel that will interfere with the PC (same-channel interference or adjacent-channel interference, etc.).

In some other embodiments, when the request message F is not used to request channel information around the mobile phone, the router does not need to query the channel information of the mobile phone channel, and the router does not need to return the channel information around the mobile phone to the mobile phone in the subsequent step S1304.

S1304. The router returns channel information around the mobile phone and channel information around the PC to the mobile phone.

S1305. The mobile phone configures a target channel based on channel information around the mobile phone, channel information around the PC, and the type of the target service, and is used to transmit data of the target service on the mobile phone and the PC.

Wherein, the mobile phone configures the target channel for the target service of the mobile phone and the PC based on the channel information around the mobile phone and the channel information around the PC. Refer to the decision-making process of the router in step S1203, which will not be repeated here. Moreover, the embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific method adopted by the mobile phone to determine the target channel.

Wherein, the configuration information of the target channel includes a center frequency point and a bandwidth where the target service is located.

S1306. The mobile phone performs data transmission of the target service with the PC on the target channel.

S1307. The mobile phone returns the configuration information of the target channel and the information of the target service to the router. Correspondingly, the router receives the configuration information of the target channel and the information of the target service returned by the mobile phone, and updates the channel usage information table.

It should be noted that step S1307 may be performed before, after or simultaneously with step S1306.

In some other embodiments, the router may also synchronize the information of each channel in the channel usage information table to the mobile phone, or synchronize the channel information corresponding to the mobile phone and terminals around the mobile phone to the mobile phone. In this way, when the mobile phone needs to establish a wireless connection with other terminals, it can directly determine the channel information required for this data transmission according to the pre-stored channel information and the type of target service, which is conducive to speeding up the process of channel selection. Accelerate the data transmission of target services between mobile phones and other terminals.

It can be seen from the above that the embodiment of the present application provides another method of selecting a channel for the target service of the mobile phone and the PC based on the channel information reported by each terminal in the router. Specifically, multiple terminals of the first group of terminals cooperate to perform channel detection, and report the detected channel information to the resource management device of the first group, and the resource management device maintains the global channel information of the first group. Subsequently, when the terminals of the first group need to establish a wireless link (for example, a mobile phone and a PC need to establish a wireless link), they apply to the resource management device for specific channel information (the periodic channel information of the mobile phone, the channel information around the PC), and then Based on the application-specific channel information, the most suitable channel for transmitting data is determined for the terminal to establish a wireless link. It can be understood that since the decision is no longer based only on the channel information detected by a single terminal (such as a mobile phone), the decision is made with reference to the channel information of other terminals in the first group, so the solution provided by the embodiment of the present application can avoid the second Other terminals in a group conflict with the current data transmission (that is, the data transmission between the mobile phone and the PC), thereby increasing the utilization rate of channel resources and improving the data transmission efficiency of the channel.

In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, when the first group of global channel information is maintained by the resource management device, an association between each channel and the service information of the resident terminal is also established. In this way, when the terminals in the first group need to establish a wireless link (for example, a mobile phone and a PC need to establish a wireless link to execute a target service), the resource management device According to the type of mobile phone and PC, the channel suitable for the target business is selected, which is conducive to improving the data transmission efficiency of the target business and improving the user experience of the target business. On the whole, the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application can optimize the utilization efficiency of the global channel resources in the first group, and improve the overall use experience of terminal services in the first group.

It should also be noted that, in the foregoing embodiment, when the two terminals (mobile phone and PC) of the first group establish a wireless link, the channel usage information table maintained by the resource manager (i.e. router) of the first group is used for decision-making. channel for transmitting data. In some other embodiments, when a wireless link is established between terminals across device groups, the channel usage information table maintained by the resource managers of two or more device groups may also be used to determine the need to establish a wireless link The channel the terminal will use. For example, a family scene includes two device groups, such as a first group and a second group. In some examples, the resource management devices of the first and second groups can be synchronized. That is, the first group of resource management devices also includes channel information corresponding to the second group of managed devices, and the second group of resource management devices also includes channel information corresponding to the first group of managed devices. Then, when the terminal A of the first group wants to establish a wireless link with the terminal B of the second group, the terminal A of the first group applies for a channel to the resource management device of the first group, or applies for the terminal A of the first group and the The channel information around the terminal B of the second group is used for channel decision. Or, the terminal B of the second group applies for a channel to the resource management device of the second group, or applies for channel information around the terminal A of the first group and the terminal B of the second group for channel decision-making. Of course, based on the technical idea of centralized management and centralized decision-making of resource management devices, other methods may be used to make decisions, which are not specifically limited here.
