[0002] With the rapid development of electronic devices (such as mobile phones, tablets, watches, in-vehicle infotainment systems, large screens, virtual reality (VR) devices, etc.), the network layer protocols, network layer interfaces, and flow control technologies adopted for network data transmission by different electronic devices are also different, which brings challenges to developers of wireless local area network (WLAN) drivers.

[0003] Due to different network protocol interfaces and flow control technologies, the network layer interfaces and flow control technology parts driven by the same model of WLAN chip are not easily reused in different operating systems; for example, for current different electronic devices, the flow control technology driven by the WLAN chip in one electronic device is different from that in another electronic device. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a unified flow control mechanism to facilitate the development process of WLAN chip drivers. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Embodiments of this application provide a data transmission method and an electronic device, which can provide a unified flow control mechanism to facilitate the development process of WLAN chip drivers.

[0005] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a data transmission method, which is executed by an electronic device and includes: obtaining first configuration information; the first configuration information is used to characterize the flow control operation that the electronic device needs to adopt when transmitting data; if the first configuration information carries an identifier of a first flow control operation, the electronic device performs the first flow control operation on the data to be transmitted when transmitting data; or, if the first configuration information carries an identifier of a second flow control operation, the electronic device performs the second flow control operation on the data to be transmitted when transmitting data.

[0007] In the above data transmission method, during the development of the WLAN chip driver by R & D personnel, different flow control operations can be selected through the function interfaces corresponding to different flow control operations, that is, a unified flow control configuration method is provided. The R & D personnel only need to select different flow control operations according to their own needs, and then form the first configuration information. The electronic device can perform different flow control operations according to the first configuration information. This method provides great convenience for the R & D personnel in the development process of the WLAN chip driver and is also convenient for the integration of the WLAN chip driver.

[0008] Combined with the first aspect, in some implementation manners of the first aspect, when the electronic device performs a first flow control operation on the data to be transmitted during data transmission, it includes: storing the data to be transmitted into the corresponding scheduling queue according to the transmission priority of the data to be transmitted, where the transmission priority of the data to be transmitted is determined according to the data type of the data to be transmitted; performing dequeue scheduling on the data to be transmitted according to the preset scheduling priority of the scheduling queue; performing flow control on the dequeued data to be transmitted, and sending the data to be transmitted after flow control to the target interface.

[0009] Combined with the first aspect and the above implementation manners, by performing priority scheduling and flow control on the data to be transmitted, a unified flow control mechanism can be formed, which can improve the data transmission performance and the user experience when using the electronic device.

[0010] In a possible implementation manner, before storing the data to be transmitted into the corresponding scheduling queue according to the transmission priority of the data to be transmitted, the method further includes: determining the transmission priority of the data to be transmitted according to the data type of the data to be transmitted and the preset corresponding relationship between the data type and the transmission priority.

[0011] Optionally, the preset corresponding relationship between the data type and the transmission priority can be stored in the database in the form of a data table. Through this preset corresponding relationship, the transmission priority of the data to be transmitted can be accurately determined, thereby improving the data transmission performance.

[0012] In a possible implementation manner, performing flow control on the dequeued data to be transmitted includes: calculating the flow rate corresponding to the data to be transmitted according to the flow of the data to be transmitted; if the flow rate corresponding to the data to be transmitted is greater than or equal to the preset flow rate threshold, performing traffic shaping on the data to be transmitted.

[0013] Among them, the flow of the data to be transmitted can be the data volume. Optionally, the algorithm used for traffic shaping can be the leaky bucket algorithm, the token bucket algorithm, etc., to limit the flow rate of the data to be transmitted and further improve the transmission performance.

[0014] In a possible implementation, for flow control of the dequeued data to be transmitted, it further includes: if the flow rate of the data to be transmitted is greater than or equal to a preset flow rate threshold, scheduling the available hardware resources in the electronic device according to a preset hardware scheduling rule, so as to send the data to be transmitted after flow control to a target interface.

[0015] Optionally, the preset hardware scheduling rule may include ways such as increasing the frequency of a Secure Digital Input and Output (SDIO) card, running the large core of the CPU, and multi-threaded operation.

After the electronic device is powered on, read the first configuration information of the WLAN chip, and then configure the flow control module according to the first configuration information, so that the flow control module performs subsequent flow control operations.

[0018] Combined with the first aspect and the above implementation, the flow control module performs different flow control operations according to the first configuration information; this method provides great convenience for the R & D personnel in the process of developing the WLAN chip driver, and at the same time facilitates the integration of the WLAN chip driver.

[0020] In a possible implementation, the above method further includes: performing format conversion on the data to be transmitted according to a preset data format.

[0021] Combined with the first aspect and the above implementation, by performing format conversion on the data to be transmitted, the network data format can be standardized, the number of data copies can be reduced, and thus the transmission efficiency can be improved.

[0022] In a possible implementation, the method further includes: after the electronic device is powered on, obtaining second configuration information; the second configuration information is used to represent the network protocol that the electronic device needs to adopt when transmitting data; parsing the second configuration information to determine the network protocol adopted by the electronic device for transmitting the data to be transmitted.

[0023] Among them, the second configuration information is formed according to the network protocol type selected by the R & D personnel during the development of the WLAN chip driver. That is to say, during the development of the WLAN chip driver, the R & D personnel can select the corresponding network protocol according to the operating system type of the electronic device to which the WLAN chip is to be applied, and then form the second configuration information. In this method, the R & D personnel only need to select different network protocols according to the actual needs to generate the second configuration information, which further facilitates the R & D personnel in the process of developing the WLAN chip driver, and at the same time can shield the differences in the network layer between different electronic devices, realizing reuse on different electronic devices.

[0081] The pressure sensor 180A is used to sense the pressure signal and can convert the pressure signal into an electrical signal. In some embodiments, the pressure sensor 180A can be set on the display screen 194. There are many types of pressure sensors 180A, such as resistive pressure sensors, inductive pressure sensors, capacitive pressure sensors, etc. The capacitive pressure sensor can be a parallel plate including at least two conductive materials. When a force acts on the pressure sensor 180A, the capacitance between the electrodes changes. The electronic device 100 determines the intensity of the pressure according to the change in capacitance. When a touch operation acts on the display screen 194, the electronic device 100 detects the touch operation intensity according to the pressure sensor 180A. The electronic device 100 can also calculate the touch position according to the detection signal of the pressure sensor 180A. In some embodiments, touch operations acting on the same touch position but with different touch operation intensities can correspond to different operation instructions. For example: when a touch operation with a touch operation intensity less than the first pressure threshold acts on the short message application icon, an instruction to view the short message is executed. When a touch operation with a touch operation intensity greater than or equal to the first pressure threshold acts on the short message application icon, an instruction to create a new short message is executed.

[0090] The temperature sensor 180J is used to detect temperature. In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 performs a temperature processing strategy using the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 180J. For example, when the temperature reported by the temperature sensor 180J exceeds a threshold, the electronic device 100 reduces the performance of the processor located near the temperature sensor 180J to reduce power consumption and implement thermal protection. In other embodiments, when the temperature is lower than another threshold, the electronic device 100 heats the battery 142 to avoid abnormal shutdown of the electronic device 100 caused by low temperature.

[0094] The motor 191 can generate vibration prompts. The motor 191 can be used for incoming call vibration prompts and also for touch vibration feedback. For example, touch operations acting on different applications (such as taking pictures, playing audio, etc.) can correspond to different vibration feedback effects. Touch operations acting on different regions of the display screen 194 can also cause the motor 191 to correspond to different vibration feedback effects. Different application scenarios (such as time reminder, receiving messages, alarm clock, games, etc.) can also correspond to different vibration feedback effects. The touch vibration feedback effect can also support customization.

[0095] The indicator 192 can be an indicator light and can be used to indicate the charging status, power change, and can also be used to indicate messages, missed calls, notifications, etc.

[0096] The SIM card interface 195 is used to connect to the SIM card. The SIM card can be inserted into or removed from the SIM card interface 195 to achieve contact and separation from the electronic device 100. The electronic device 100 can support one or N SIM card interfaces, where N is a positive integer greater than 1. The SIM card interface 195 can support Nano SIM cards, Micro SIM cards, SIM cards, etc. Multiple cards can be inserted into the same SIM card interface 195 simultaneously. The types of the multiple cards can be the same or different. The SIM card interface 195 can also be compatible with different types of SIM cards. The SIM card interface 195 can also be compatible with external memory cards. The electronic device 100 interacts with the network through the SIM card to implement functions such as calls and data communication. In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 uses an eSIM, i.e., an embedded SIM card. The eSIM card can be embedded in the electronic device 100 and cannot be separated from the electronic device 100.

[0097] The software system of the electronic device 100 can adopt a layered architecture, an event-driven architecture, a microkernel architecture, a microservices architecture, or a cloud architecture. In the embodiments of this application, the Android system with a layered architecture is taken as an example to exemplarily illustrate the software structure of the electronic device 100.

[0098] Figure 3 It is the software structure block diagram of the electronic device 100 in the embodiments of this application. The layered architecture divides the software into several layers, and each layer has a clear role and division of labor. The layers communicate with each other through software interfaces. In some embodiments, the Android system is divided into four layers, from top to bottom, namely the application layer, the application framework layer, the Android runtime and system libraries, and the kernel layer. The application layer can include a series of application packages.

[0099] As Figure 3 shown, the application packages can include applications such as camera, gallery, calendar, call, map, navigation, WLAN, Bluetooth, music, video, short message, etc.

[0100] The application framework layer provides application programming interfaces (APIs) and programming frameworks for the applications in the application layer. The application framework layer includes some predefined functions.

[0101] As Figure 3 shown, the application framework layer can include a window manager, a content provider, a view system, a phone manager, a resource manager, a notification manager, etc.

[0102] The window manager is used to manage window programs. The window manager can obtain the display screen size, determine whether there is a status bar, lock the screen, capture the screen, etc.

[0103] The content provider is used to store and obtain data, and make this data accessible to application programs. The data can include videos, images, audio, incoming and outgoing calls, browsing history and bookmarks, phone books, etc.

[0104] The view system includes visual controls, such as controls for displaying text, controls for displaying pictures, etc. The view system can be used to build application programs. The display interface can be composed of one or more views. For example, a display interface including a short message notification icon can include a view for displaying text and a view for displaying pictures.

[0105] The phone manager is used to provide the communication function of the electronic device 100. For example, the management of call status (including answering, hanging up, etc.).

[0106] The resource manager provides various resources for application programs, such as localized strings, icons, pictures, layout files, video files, and so on.

[0107] The notification manager enables application programs to display notification information in the status bar. It can be used to convey notification-type messages, which can automatically disappear after a short stay without user interaction. For example, the notification manager is used to inform that the download is complete, message reminders, etc. The notification manager can also be a notification that appears in the system top status bar in the form of a chart or scroll bar text, such as the notification of a background-running application program, and can also be a notification that appears on the screen in the form of a dialogue window. For example, it prompts text information in the status bar, emits a prompt tone, the electronic device vibrates, the indicator light flashes, etc.

[0108] Android runtime includes a core library and a virtual machine. Android runtime is responsible for the scheduling and management of the Android system.

[0109] The core library contains two parts: one part is the functional functions that need to be called by the Java language, and the other part is the core library of Android.

[0110] The application layer and the application framework layer run in the virtual machine. The virtual machine executes the Java files of the application layer and the application framework layer as binary files. The virtual machine is used to perform functions such as the management of object life cycles, stack management, thread management, security and exception management, and garbage collection.

[0111] The system library may include multiple functional modules. For example: surface manager, media libraries, 3D graphics processing library (e.g., OpenGL ES), 2D graphics engine (e.g., SGL), etc.

[0112] The surface manager is used to manage the display subsystem and provides the fusion of 2D and 3D layers for multiple applications.

[0113] The media library supports the playback and recording of multiple common audio and video formats, as well as static image files, etc. The media library can support multiple audio and video coding formats, such as: MPEG4, H.264, MP3, AAC, AMR, JPG, PNG, etc.

[0114] The 3D graphics processing library is used to implement 3D graphics drawing, image rendering, synthesis, and layer processing, etc.

[0115] The 2D graphics engine is a drawing engine for 2D drawing.

[0116] The kernel layer is the layer between hardware and software. The kernel layer at least includes a display driver, a camera driver, an audio driver, a sensor driver, and a WLAN driver.

[0117] For ease of understanding, the following embodiments of the present application will take an electronic device with the Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown structure as an example, and in combination with the accompanying drawings and system architecture, specifically elaborate on the data transmission method provided by the embodiments of the present application.

[0118] Figure 4 is a schematic flowchart of a data transmission method provided by an embodiment of the present application. The method includes:

[0119] S101, obtain first configuration information; the first configuration information is used to characterize the flow control operation that the electronic device needs to adopt when transmitting data.

[0120] Specifically, during the development of the WLAN chip driver by R & D personnel, different flow control operations can be selected through the function interfaces corresponding to different flow control operations, and then the first configuration information is formed; among them, different flow control operations include performing different data processing on the data to be transmitted to achieve different flow control effects. After the WLAN chip driver is developed, it can be applied to the electronic device. Usually, after the electronic device is powered on, the first configuration information can be obtained.

[0121] It should be noted that the above flow control operations may include the data processing procedures provided in the embodiments of the present application, may also include the data processing procedures provided by WLAN chip manufacturers, or may be a combination of two (or more) data processing procedures, etc., as long as corresponding function interfaces can be provided for R & D personnel. During the development process, R & D personnel only need to select different flow control operations according to their own needs, and no longer need to re-develop different flow control operation processes. It should also be noted that for electronic devices such as lightweight devices or rich devices, the above configuration process is applicable.

[0122] S102. If the first configuration information carries the identifier of the first flow control operation, the electronic device performs the first flow control operation on the data to be transmitted when transmitting data.

[0123] Or,

[0124] S103. If the first configuration information carries the identifier of the second flow control operation, the electronic device performs the second flow control operation on the data to be transmitted when transmitting data.

[0125] Specifically, the above flow control operations have corresponding identifiers, which may be the function names of the function interfaces corresponding to the flow control operations, or other identifiers that can distinguish different flow control operations. After the electronic device obtains the first configuration information, it can parse the first configuration information to determine the identifier carried by the first configuration information. Among them, if the first configuration information carries the identifier of the first flow control operation, the electronic device performs the first flow control operation on the data to be transmitted when transmitting data; if the first configuration information carries the identifier of the second flow control operation, the electronic device performs the second flow control operation on the data to be transmitted when transmitting data. The first flow control operation and the second flow control operation correspond to different data processing procedures.

[0126] In the process of R & D personnel developing the WLAN chip driver, the above data transmission method can select different flow control operations through the function interfaces corresponding to different flow control operations, that is, a unified flow control configuration method is provided. R & D personnel only need to select different flow control operations according to their own needs to form the first configuration information, and the electronic device can perform different flow control operations according to the first configuration information. This method provides great convenience for the WLAN chip driver development process of R & D personnel and is also convenient for the integration of the WLAN chip driver.

[0127] The following introduces the flow control operation processing procedure provided in the embodiments of the present application. Optionally, the flow control operation provided in the embodiments of the present application may be the first flow control operation. As Figure 5 shown, when the above electronic device transmits data, performing the first flow control operation on the data to be transmitted includes:

[0128] S201. Store the data to be transmitted into the corresponding scheduling queue according to the transmission priority of the data to be transmitted, where the transmission priority of the data to be transmitted is determined according to the data type of the data to be transmitted.

[0129] Specifically, the electronic device can determine the corresponding transmission priority according to the data type of the data to be transmitted. For example, the transmission priority of video data is higher than that of voice data. Then, according to the transmission priority, the data to be transmitted is stored in the corresponding scheduling queue. Optionally, there can be only one scheduling queue, and the data to be transmitted is queued in turn according to the transmission priority. There can also be multiple scheduling queues, with each transmission priority corresponding to a scheduling queue, and the data to be transmitted is stored in the scheduling queue corresponding to the transmission priority.

[0130] Optionally, the data to be transmitted may further include at least one of a data frame, a management frame, and a chip control command. The electronic device can also determine the transmission priority of the data frame or the management frame according to the TCP / IP packet priority (TOS) or the priority in the custom field of the UDP / TCP header. Among them, the management frame refers to the communication management frame between the network chip driver and the network peer according to the network protocol. For example, the management frames in the 802.11 protocol include disassociation frames, deauthentication frames, etc.

[0131] Optionally, before storing the data to be transmitted into the corresponding scheduling queue, the electronic device can also determine the transmission priority of the data to be transmitted according to the data type of the data to be transmitted and the preset corresponding relationship between the data type and the transmission priority. Exemplarily, the preset corresponding relationship between the data type and the transmission priority can be stored in the database in the form of a data table.

[0132] S202. Perform dequeue scheduling on the data to be transmitted according to the preset scheduling priority of the scheduling queue.

[0133] Specifically, each scheduling queue can also correspond to its own scheduling priority. When the electronic device needs to schedule the data to be transmitted in the scheduling queue, it can perform dequeue scheduling on the data to be transmitted according to the scheduling priority.

[0134] Optionally, when there is only one scheduling queue, the data to be transmitted is directly dequeued in the first-in, first-out manner.

[0135] S203. Perform flow control on the dequeued data to be transmitted and send the data to be transmitted after flow control to the target interface.

[0136] Specifically, after the data to be transmitted dequeues, the electronic device can also perform flow control on the dequeued data to be transmitted to avoid the excessive size of the data to be transmitted from affecting other working performances of the electronic device, and send the data to be transmitted after flow control to the target interface for data transmission.

[0137] Optionally, before storing the data to be transmitted into the corresponding scheduling queue, the electronic device can also perform format conversion on the data to be transmitted according to a preset data format to standardize the network data format, reduce the number of data copies, and thereby improve the transmission efficiency. Among them, the preset data format can be as Figure 6 shown, including a doubly linked list, buffer segments, a memory buffer address, and a memory buffer length field. The memory buffer address is the buffer address of each segment in the buffer segment. The specific definition method can be:

[0138] struct NetBuf{

[0139] struct DListHead dlist; / *Doubly linked list, linking multiple network data buffers through the list* /

[0140] struct BufField bufs[MAX_BUF_NUM]; / *Buffer segment definition is used to record the offset address (based on the memory buffer address) and length of each buffer segment, including the head buffer segment, data segment, and tail buffer segment* /

[0141] uint8_t*mem; / *Memory buffer address* /

[0142] uint32_t len; / *Length of the memory buffer* /

[0143] }

[0144] The above data transmission method can form a unified flow control mechanism by performing priority scheduling and flow control on the data to be transmitted, improve the data transmission performance, and enhance the user experience when using the electronic device.

[0145] In a possible implementation manner, the method for performing flow control on the dequeued data to be transmitted in S203 above may include, but is not limited to: calculating the flow rate corresponding to the data to be transmitted according to the flow rate of the data to be transmitted; if the flow rate corresponding to the data to be transmitted is greater than or equal to a preset flow rate threshold, performing traffic shaping on the data to be transmitted.

[0146] Specifically, the traffic of the data to be transmitted can be the data volume. The electronic device can calculate the flow rate corresponding to the data to be transmitted based on the data volume and the transmission duration. If the flow rate is greater than or equal to a preset flow rate threshold (such as 20 megabytes per second), the electronic device needs to perform traffic shaping on the data to be transmitted. Optionally, the algorithm used for traffic shaping can be a leaky bucket algorithm, a token bucket algorithm, etc., to limit the flow rate of the data to be transmitted and further improve the transmission performance. Optionally, when the traffic of the data to be transmitted is greater than or equal to a preset traffic threshold (such as 200 megabytes), the electronic device can also schedule the available hardware resources in the electronic device according to the preset hardware scheduling rules to avoid problems such as congestion and delay caused by the electronic device when transmitting the data to be transmitted. Exemplary but not limiting, it can include ways such as increasing the frequency of the secure digital input and output card, running the large core of the CPU, and running multiple threads.

[0147] In a possible implementation manner, for currently popular electronic device operating systems, such as the Linux system, the real-time operating system RTOS, etc., the WLAN driver developed for Linux electronic devices only supports docking with the network layer on Linux, and the cost of transplanting to other platforms is high and it does not support reuse; the WLAN driver on RTOS directly docks with the protocol stack. Changes to the protocol stack may bring about modifications to the driver, increasing the maintenance cost, and it is also not easy to transplant to other operating systems, with poor reusability. To address this problem, refer to the above Figure 1 As shown, the management module in the network device layer of this embodiment can determine the network protocol to be used for transmitting data according to the configuration information of the decision module (referred to as the second configuration information here). This second configuration information is formed based on the network protocol type selected by the R & D personnel during the development of the WLAN chip driver. That is to say, during the development of the WLAN chip driver, the R & D personnel can select the corresponding network protocol according to the operating system type of the electronic device to which the WLAN chip is to be applied, and then form the second configuration information. After the electronic device is turned on, the second configuration information can also be obtained, and by parsing this second configuration information, the network protocol used by the electronic device to transmit the data to be transmitted can be determined, and then this network protocol can be used to transmit the data to be transmitted. In this method, the R & D personnel only need to select different network protocols according to actual needs and generate the second configuration information. This further provides convenience for the R & D personnel in the process of developing the WLAN chip driver, and at the same time can shield the differences in the network layer between different electronic devices, realizing reuse on different electronic devices.

[0148] In a possible implementation manner, the electronic device can include a network chip (WLAN chip) and a flow control module. Both the flow control module and the chip driver are in the kernel state, and the data interaction between them is directly passed through pointers, such asFigure 7 As shown in Figure 7 , the above data transmission method may include:

[0149] S301, after the electronic device is powered on, read the first configuration information of the WLAN chip.

[0150] S302, configure the flow control module according to the first configuration information.

[0151] S303, the WLAN chip calls the interface function of the flow control module to send the data to be transmitted to the flow control module.

[0152] S304, the flow control module stores the data to be transmitted into the corresponding scheduling queue according to the transmission priority of the data to be transmitted.

[0153] S305, perform dequeue scheduling on the data to be transmitted according to the scheduling priority of the preset scheduling queue.

[0154] S306, calculate the flow rate corresponding to the data to be transmitted according to the traffic of the data to be transmitted; if the flow rate corresponding to the data to be transmitted is greater than or equal to the preset flow rate threshold, perform traffic shaping on the data to be transmitted.

[0155] S307, if the traffic of the data to be transmitted is greater than or equal to the preset traffic threshold, schedule the available hardware resources in the electronic device according to the preset hardware scheduling rules.

[0156] S308, the flow control module sends the data to be transmitted after traffic control to the data sending interface of the WLAN chip.

[0157] Among them, some interfaces when the WLAN chip calls the flow control module can be defined as follows:

[0158] struct FlowControlInterface{

[0159] / * Obtain the corresponding priority queue according to the buff data (management frame or data frame) * /

[0160] FlowControlQueueID(*getQueueIdByNetBuff)(const struct NetBuf*buff);

[0161] / * Send the buff data (management frame or data) to the flow control module according to the priority * /

[0162] int32_t(*sendBuffToFCM)(struct FlowControlModule*fcm, struct NetBuf*buff, uint32_t id, uint32_t dir);

[0163] / * Notify the flow control module to perform priority scheduling, and the flow control module performs backend processing * /

[0164] int32_t(*schedFCM)(struct FlowControlModule*fcm, FlowDir dir);

[0165] / * Register the data sending interface of the flow control * /

[0166] int32_t(*registerFlowControlOp)(struct FlowControlModule*fcm, structFlowControlOp*op);

[0167] };

[0168] struct FlowControlOp{

[0169] / * The flow control module calls the chip data sending interface * /

[0170] int32_t(*txDataPacket)(struct NetBufQueue*q, void*fcmPrivate);

[0171] };

[0172] / * Initialize the flow control module * /

[0173] struct FlowControlModule*InitFlowControl(void*fcmPriv);

[0174] / * Obtain the initialized instance of the flow control module * /

[0175] struct FlowControlModule*GetFlowControlModule(void);

[0176] / * Destroy the initialized flow control module * /

[0177] void DeInitFlowControl(struct FlowControlModule*fcm);

[0178] For the implementation processes of the remaining steps in this embodiment, reference can be made to the descriptions of the above embodiments. Their implementation principles and technical effects are similar, and will not be elaborated here.
