[0057] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the embodiments described are only a portion of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. All other embodiments derived by persons of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are also within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0058] Reference Figure 1 , shows a step flow chart of a network communication method provided by an embodiment of the present invention, which can be applied to a first routing device, and the routing device can be a router.

[0059] Specifically, the following steps may be included:

[0060] Step 101: A first routing device establishes multiple communication links with a target service device for communication; wherein the multiple communication links include a first type of communication link, which is a communication link from the first routing device to the target service device via a second routing device.

[0061] The target service device may be a multi-link aggregation server that can aggregate multiple communication links. The first router may perform short-range wireless communication with the second router, such as using WiFi communication.

[0062] In order to realize communication with the target service device through multiple links, the first routing device can establish multiple communication links with the target service device to realize multi-link aggregation transmission. The protocols used can be such as MPTCP (MultiPathTCP, multi-path transmission control protocol), QUIC (Quick UDP Internet Connection, a low-latency Internet transport layer protocol based on UDP), etc.

[0063] In a specific implementation, the first routing device may establish a connection with one or more second routing devices, and each second routing device may be connected to a target service device, thereby establishing a first type of communication link to the target service device via the second routing device.

[0064] In one embodiment of the present invention, both the first routing device and the second routing device can be configured with a first-type communication module. The first-type communication module is a short-range wireless communication module, such as a WiFi communication module, which can be used for communication between the first routing device, the second routing device, and the terminal device.

[0065] The second routing device can be configured with a second-type communication module and can be connected to the target service device through the configured second-type communication module. Specifically, it can be connected to the target service device through a base station. The second-type communication module is a long-distance wireless communication module, such as a cellular network communication module, or it can be other communication modules for long-distance wireless communication, such as an Ethernet communication module.

[0066] In one example, the second routing device may be configured with one or more second-type communication modules, that is, the second routing device may be configured with a single communication module or multiple communication modules.

[0067] Based on this, step 101 may include:

[0068] In sub-step 11, the first routing device establishes a connection with the second routing device through the configured first-type communication module.

[0069] Since both the first routing device and the second routing device are configured with a first-class communication module for short-range wireless communication, the first routing device can establish a connection with the second routing device through the configured first-class communication module. Specifically, the second routing device can be connected to the physical interface of the first-class communication module configured on the first router through the physical interface of the configured first-class communication module.

[0070] In one embodiment of the present invention, before sub-step 11, the following steps may also be included:

[0071] The first routing device sets itself as a master routing device, and sets the first type of communication module configured in the first routing device to a mode accessible to other routing devices.

[0072] Since there are multiple routing devices, a first routing device can be determined as the main routing device from the multiple routing devices. Specifically, the routing device can detect the network signal of the main routing device through the first-class communication module. When the network signal of the main routing device is not detected, it can set itself as the main routing device. For the main routing device, in order to access other devices, the first-class communication module configured therein can be set to a mode accessible to other routing devices. For example, if the first-class communication module is a WiFi communication module, it can be set to wireless access point (AP) mode.

[0073] In one example, when there is no main routing device or the main routing device stops working, the first routing device as the main routing device can also be automatically elected by multiple routing devices, such as electing the router with the smallest WiFi.BSSID or MAC as the main router.

[0074] In sub-step 12, the first routing device establishes a first type of communication link with the target service device according to the first type of communication module configured in the first routing device, the first type of communication module configured in the second routing device, and the second type of communication module configured in the second routing device.

[0075] After the first routing device and the second routing device establish a connection through the configured first-class communication module, and the second routing device establishes a connection with the target service device through the configured second-class communication module, a first-class communication link can be established from the first-class communication module configured on the first routing device to the target service device via the first-class communication module configured on the second routing device and the second-class communication module configured on the second routing device, for communication with the target service device.

[0076] In one embodiment of the present invention, sub-step 12 may include:

[0077] In sub-step 121 , a first routing device establishes a communication tunnel between a first type of communication module configured in the first routing device and a first type of communication module configured in a second routing device.

[0078] After the second routing device is connected to the physical interface of the first type of communication module configured on the first router through the physical interface of the configured first type of communication module, the second routing device can establish a communication tunnel, such as an IP tunnel, with the first routing device based on the connected physical interface.

[0079] Among them, network tunneling technology is the process of a router encapsulating a network layer protocol into another protocol to transmit it across the network to another router. Through network tunneling technology, the networks at both ends of the tunnel are combined into a larger internal network.

[0080] In sub-step 122, the first routing device establishes first routing information of the first type of communication module configured on the first routing device and the first type of communication module configured on the second routing device based on the communication tunnel, and establishes second routing information of the first type of communication module configured on the second routing device and the second type of communication module configured on the second routing device.

[0081] After establishing the communication tunnel, a virtual network interface is set between the first routing device and the second routing device, which can use the communication tunnel through the virtual network interface, and then establish the first routing information between the virtual network interface in the first type of communication module configured by the first routing device and the virtual network interface in the first type of communication module configured by the second routing device.

[0082] For the second routing device, it can be configured with a forwarding control module, and a connection can be established between the configured first-type communication module and the second-type communication module through the forwarding control module, thereby establishing second routing information of the first-type communication module and the configured second-type communication module configured by the second routing device.

[0083] The forwarding control module is mainly composed of an IP routing table and an IP forwarder. The IP forwarder forwards IP data packets according to the IP routing table. The IP routing table can be changed according to the access or removal of each router.

[0084] In sub-step 123 , the first routing device establishes a first type of communication link with the target service device according to the first routing information and the second routing information.

[0085] In order to achieve multi-link aggregation, a multi-link aggregation module can be configured in the routing device. The multi-link aggregation module configured in the first routing device can establish a first-class communication link from the first-class communication module configured in the first routing device to the target service device via the first-class communication module and the second-class communication module configured in the second routing device based on the first-class communication module configured in the first routing device and the first-class communication module configured in the second routing device, and the second routing information of the first-class communication module configured in the second routing device and the second-class communication module configured in the second routing device.

[0086] In one embodiment of the present invention, the multiple communication links for communicating with the target service device may further include a second-type communication link. The second-type communication link may be a communication link from the first routing device itself to the target service device. Specifically, the first routing device may also be configured with a second-type communication module and connected to the target service device via the configured second-type communication module. Specifically, the connection to the target service device may be via a base station. The second-type communication module may be a long-distance wireless communication module, such as a cellular network communication module, or another communication module for long-distance wireless communication, such as an Ethernet communication module.

[0087] For the first routing device, it can also be configured with a forwarding control module, which can establish a connection between the first-class communication module and the second-class communication module configured by it through the forwarding control module, and then establish the third routing information of the first-class communication module configured by the first routing device and the configured second-class communication module. The multi-link aggregation module configured by the first routing device can then establish the first-class communication module configured by the first routing device according to the third routing information of the first-class communication module configured by the first routing device and the configured second-class communication module, and then establish a second-class communication link from the first-class communication module configured by the first routing device to the target service device via the second-class communication module configured by the first routing device.

[0088] In one example, the first routing device may be configured with one or more second-type communication modules, that is, the second routing device may be configured with a single communication module or multiple communication modules.

[0089] Step 102: A first routing device receives first data sent by a terminal device, and sends the first data to a target service device through one or more communication links among a plurality of communication links.

[0090] For the terminal device, it can be connected to the first routing device. Specifically, the terminal device can be configured with a first-class communication module, which is a short-range wireless communication module, such as a WiFi communication module. The physical interface on the first-class communication module configured in the terminal device can be connected to the physical interface on the first-class communication module configured in the first router. For example, the terminal device can be connected to the first routing device using WiFi Station or WiFi Direct.

[0091] During the uplink communication process, the terminal device can send first data to the first routing device. The multi-link clustering module configured in the first routing device can determine one or more communication links from multiple communication links for communicating with the target service device, and then send the first data to the target service device through the one or more communication links. It can split the first data into multiple sub-data and then use multiple communication links to send them.

[0092] After receiving data sent by one or more communication links, the target service device can aggregate the data to obtain first data, and then send the first data to the Internet end.

[0093] Step 103: The first routing device receives second data sent by the target service device through one or more communication links among the multiple communication links, and sends the second data to the terminal device.

[0094] During the downlink communication process, the Internet end can send the second data to the target service device. The target service device can determine one or more communication links from the multiple communication links for communicating with the first routing device, and then use the one or more communication links to send the second data to the first routing device. It can split the second data into multiple sub-data and then use multiple communication links to send them.

[0095] After receiving data sent by one or more communication links, the multi-link aggregation module configured in the first routing device may aggregate the data to obtain second data, and then may send the second data to the terminal device.

[0096] In an embodiment of the present invention, multiple communication links are established for communication with the target service device through the first routing device, and the multiple communication links include a first type of communication link, which is a communication link from the first routing device to the target service device via the second routing device. Based on this, the first routing device can receive the first data sent by the terminal device, and send the first data to the target service device through one or more of the multiple communication links, and can receive the second data sent by the target service device through one or more of the multiple communication links, and send the second data to the terminal device, realizing the use of multiple routing devices to combine into distributed routers with different numbers of links, thereby being able to provide different bandwidths and high availability capabilities, and there is no need to maintain the distance between the antennas of each communication module when carrying, which greatly reduces the overall device size, facilitates mass production, reduces device costs, and improves the flexibility and application range of the device.

[0097] Reference Figure 2 , shows a flowchart of another network communication method provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The method can be applied to a second routing device and specifically may include the following steps:

[0098] Step 201: A second routing device establishes a connection with a first routing device, so that the first routing device establishes a first type of communication link to a target service device via the second routing device.

[0099] Step 202: When receiving first data sent by the first routing device through the first type of communication link, the second routing device sends the first data to the target service device; wherein the first data is sent by the terminal device to the first routing device.

[0100] Step 203: When receiving the second data sent by the target service device through the first type of communication link, the second routing device sends the second data to the first routing device, so that the first routing device sends the second data to the terminal device.

[0101] In an embodiment of the present invention, the first routing device and the second routing device may both be configured with a first type of communication module, and the second routing device may be configured with a second type of communication module and connected to the target service device through the configured second type of communication module.

[0102] Based on this, step 201 may include:

[0103] In sub-step 21, the second routing device establishes a connection with the first routing device through the configured first-class communication module, so that the first routing device establishes a first-class communication link for communicating with the target service device according to the first-class communication module configured by the first routing device, the first-class communication module configured by the second routing device, and the second-class communication module configured by the second routing device.

[0104] In one embodiment of the present invention, it further includes:

[0105] The second routing device establishes a communication tunnel between the first-class communication module configured on the second routing device and the first-class communication module configured on the first routing device, so that the first routing device establishes first routing information of the first-class communication module configured on the first routing device and the first-class communication module configured on the second routing device based on the communication tunnel, and establishes second routing information of the first-class communication module configured on the second routing device and the second-class communication module configured, and establishes a first-class communication link for communicating with the target service device according to the first routing information and the second routing information.

[0106] In one embodiment of the present invention, the multiple communication links may include a second-class communication link, which may be a communication link from the first routing device itself to the target service device. The first routing device may be configured with a second-class communication module and may be connected to the target service device through the configured second-class communication module.

[0107] In an embodiment of the present invention, the first type of communication module may be a short-range wireless communication module, and the second type of communication module may be a long-range wireless communication module.

[0108] Reference Figure 3 , shows a flowchart of another network communication method provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The method can be applied to a target service device and specifically may include the following steps:

[0109] In step 301, a target service device establishes multiple communication links with a first routing device for communication; wherein the multiple communication links include a first type of communication link, which is a communication link from the first routing device to the target service device via the second routing device.

[0110] In step 302, the target service device receives first data sent by the first routing device through one or more communication links among the plurality of communication links, and sends the first data to the Internet end; wherein the first data is sent by the terminal device to the first routing device.

[0111] In step 303 , the target service device receives the second data sent by the Internet end, and sends the second data to the first routing device through one or more communication links among the plurality of communication links, so that the first routing device sends the second data to the terminal device.

[0112] In one embodiment of the present invention, the multiple communication links may include a second-class communication link, which may be a communication link from the first routing device itself to the target service device. The first routing device may be configured with a second-class communication module and may be connected to the target service device through the configured second-class communication module.

[0113] In an embodiment of the present invention, the first type of communication module may be a short-range wireless communication module, and the second type of communication module may be a long-range wireless communication module.

[0114] The following combination Figure 4 and Figure 5 The present invention is illustrated by way of example:

[0115] exist Figure 4 In the example, there are a device (i.e., a terminal device), a router A (i.e., a first routing device), a router B (i.e., a second routing device), a cellular base station, and a multi-link aggregation server (i.e., a target service device), and the multi-link aggregation server is connected to the Internet.

[0116] Among them, router A has a WiFi module (i.e., a first-type communication module), a forwarding control module connected to the WiFI module, a cellular module (i.e., a second-type communication module) connected to the forwarding control module, and a multi-link aggregation module connected to the forwarding control module. The cellular module is connected to the multi-link aggregation server through a cellular base station, and the terminal device is connected to the WiFi module of router A.

[0117] Router B has a WiFi module (i.e., a first-class communication module), a forwarding control module connected to the WiFi module, a cellular module (i.e., a second-class communication module) connected to the forwarding control module, and a multi-link aggregation module connected to the forwarding control module (when router B is a non-master routing device, the multi-link aggregation module is not used). The cellular module is connected to the multi-link aggregation server through a cellular base station.

[0118] exist Figure 4 Based on the network architecture, combined with Figure 5 The following describes the network communication process:

[0119] 1. Router A starts, and the WiFi module, forwarding control module, and cellular module start. The cellular module of router A connects to the cellular base station and establishes network interface if3.

[0120] 2. Router B starts, and the WiFi module, forwarding control module, and cellular module start. The cellular module of router B connects to the cellular base station and establishes network interface if4.

[0121] 3. The WiFi module of Router A detects the WiFi signal of the main router. If the WiFi signal of the main router is not detected, it sets itself (Router A) as the main router and sets the WiFi module to AP mode.

[0122] 4. Router A starts the multi-link aggregation module.

[0123] 5. The multi-link aggregation module in router A establishes link 1 from if3 to if5 (ie, the second type of communication link from the first routing device itself to the target service device).

[0124] 6. The WiFi module of router B detects the WiFi signal of the main router A and connects to the WiFi physical interface if1 of router A through the WiFi physical interface if2.

[0127] 9. If there are more routers, you can repeat steps 6, 7, and 8 to establish more second-type communication links.

[0128] 10. The multi-link aggregation module in router A uses the two network interfaces xif1 and if3 to establish two links (link 1 and link 2) to connect to the multi-link aggregation server, thereby achieving multi-link aggregation transmission.
