Description

Technical Field

[0002] At present, fifth-generation mobile communication technology (5G) smartphones have been increasingly integrated into people's lives. However, problems such as poor signal quality and slow network speed still trouble many 5G smartphone users. This is due to the reasons of the 5G base station network layout of the operator and the problems of the 5G smartphones themselves. The uplink signal strength of the smartphones themselves is not enough to support the network delivery under the current layout.

[0003] To solve the problem of poor signal quality, existing 5G smartphones usually set 4×4 multiple-input multiple-output antennas in the smartphones. When using one or more current antennas for signal transmission and reception, when problems such as slow signal reception speed and long time are detected during the signal reception process, considering the communication quality of the antennas, a different antenna is reselected for signal transmission and reception. However, the existing technology selects antennas based on the signal quality of the antennas receiving signals. However, the signal quality of the antennas receiving signals is often affected by devices such as signal amplifiers and cannot truly reflect the signal quality of the antennas themselves. Therefore, the antennas determined by this method are often not the antennas with the best signal quality, resulting in poor communication quality when using these antennas for communication.

[0042] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0043] An embodiment of the present application provides an antenna selection method, which is applied to an electronic device. The electronic device includes an antenna switching switch and multiple antennas, and the antenna switching switch is respectively connected to the multiple antennas. Figure 1 As shown in the flowchart of an antenna selection method provided by an embodiment of the present application, Figure 1 as shown, the antenna selection method may include:

[0044] S101. When it is detected that the received signal strength corresponding to the first antenna is less than a preset signal strength threshold, determine multiple echo loss parameters between the antenna switching switch and the multiple antennas respectively; the first antenna is the antenna currently performing signal transmission and reception among the multiple antennas.

[0045] An antenna selection method given in the present application is applied to an electronic device with multiple antennas. When the electronic device uses one or several of the antennas for signal transmission and reception, in the scenario where the received signal strength is detected to be small, an antenna is reselected from the multiple antennas to perform subsequent signal transmission and reception.

[0046] In an embodiment of the present application, when the electronic device detects that the received signal strength corresponding to the first antenna is less than a preset signal strength threshold, determine multiple echo loss parameters between the antenna switching switch and the multiple antennas respectively; the first antenna is the antenna currently performing signal transmission and reception among the multiple antennas.

[0047] It should be noted that the multiple antennas in the present application are multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antennas.

[0048] It should be noted that the electronic device may be a mobile phone or a tablet computer with an antenna transceiver device, etc. The specific electronic device can be determined according to the actual situation, and the embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitations here.

[0049] In an embodiment of the present application, there is a corresponding echo loss parameter on the antenna switching switch to each of the multiple antennas, and the multiple echo loss parameters between the antenna switching switch and the multiple antennas may be stored in the electronic device after being measured by hardware in advance, or may be directly measured at present. The specific method for determining the multiple echo loss parameters can be specified according to the actual situation, and the embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitations here.

[0050] It should be noted that different antennas have different wiring methods in an electronic device, and different antennas are located at different positions in the electronic device. Therefore, the path between each antenna and the antenna switch is different, and thus, there are different return losses between the antenna switch and each antenna on the corresponding path. This application is to calculate the return loss parameters between the antenna switch and each antenna.

[0051] It should be noted that in the embodiment of this application, the antenna switch is a switch and logic control DP4T; the specific antenna switch can be determined according to the actual situation, and the embodiment of this application does not make specific limitations here.

[0052] It should be noted that in the embodiment of this application, the types of antennas are specifically divided into a primary receive antenna (PRX) and a diversity receive antenna (DRX) according to the signal transmission and reception responsibilities; the specific antennas can be determined according to the actual situation, and the embodiment of this application does not make specific limitations here.

[0053] S102. Determine a target antenna from multiple antennas based on multiple return loss parameters, and use the target antenna to implement the transceiver of radio frequency signals.

[0054] In the embodiment of this application, after the electronic device determines multiple return loss parameters, it determines a target antenna from multiple antennas based on the multiple return loss parameters, and uses the target antenna to implement the transceiver of radio frequency signals.

[0055] In the embodiment of this application, after the electronic device determines multiple return loss parameters between the antenna switch and multiple antennas respectively, the following method can also be implemented: detect the usage scenario corresponding to the electronic device, and look up the antenna gain list corresponding to the usage scenario from the corresponding relationship between the preset usage scenario and the preset antenna gain list; the antenna gain list includes multiple antenna gains of multiple antennas in the usage scenario; determine a target antenna from multiple antennas based on the multiple return loss parameters and the multiple antenna gains.

[0056] It should be noted that the usage scenario of the electronic device is the way the user uses the electronic device. Exemplarily, usage methods such as the mobile phone placed on the table, the mobile phone placed in the pocket, held with the left hand alone, held with the right hand alone, and held horizontally with both hands of the human head and hand, etc. The specific usage scenario of the electronic device can be determined according to the actual situation, and the embodiment of this application does not make specific limitations here.

[0057] In the embodiment of the present application, the corresponding relationship between the preset usage scenarios and the preset antenna gain list is obtained by testing the antenna gain of an electronic device of a certain type / model in the preset usage scenarios in the laboratory and then stored in the electronic device. There are multiple antenna gains corresponding to multiple antennas under each preset usage scenario.

[0058] In the embodiment of the present application, after the electronic device determines the multiple echo loss parameters between the antenna switch and multiple antennas respectively, the following method can also be implemented: determine the multiple signal quality parameters corresponding to the multiple antennas respectively; based on the multiple echo loss parameters and the multiple signal quality parameters, determine the target antenna from the multiple antennas.

[0059] In the embodiment of the present application, the signal quality parameters can include not only the Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) and the Reference Signal Receiving Power (RSRP), but also parameters such as the Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR) and the Reference Signal Receiving Quality (RSRQ); the specific signal quality parameters can be determined according to the actual situation, and the embodiment of the present application does not make specific limitations here.

[0060] In the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device determines the target antenna from the multiple antennas based on the multiple echo loss parameters and the multiple signal quality parameters; Figure 2 FIG. is a flowchart of an exemplary method for determining a target antenna provided by an embodiment of the present application, as Figure 2 shown:

[0061] S201. Determine the multiple simulated radiation powers corresponding to the multiple antennas according to the multiple echo loss parameters and the multiple signal quality parameters.

[0062] In the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device determines the multiple simulated radiation powers corresponding to the multiple antennas according to the multiple echo loss parameters and the multiple signal quality parameters.

[0063] It should be noted that the simulated radiation power is the Total Radiated Power (TRP) of the antenna, and this simulated total radiation power is based on the maximum transmit power of the mobile phone, which is 23 dBm.

[0064] In an alternative embodiment of the present application, the electronic device may further determine multiple simulated radiation powers corresponding to multiple antennas according to multiple return loss parameters, multiple signal quality parameters, and an antenna gain list; that is, calculate the average value of the radiation power of each antenna in each direction through the multiple return loss parameters, multiple signal quality parameters, and the antenna gain list to obtain multiple simulated radiation powers.

[0065] S202. Determine the first simulated radiation power with the largest simulated radiation power from the multiple simulated radiation powers; and determine the second antenna corresponding to the first simulated radiation power.

[0066] In an embodiment of the present application, after determining the multiple simulated radiation powers, the electronic device determines the first simulated radiation power with the largest simulated radiation power from the multiple simulated radiation powers; and determines the second antenna corresponding to the first simulated radiation power.

[0067] In an embodiment of the present application, after determining the first simulated radiation power, the electronic device searches for the second antenna corresponding to the first simulated radiation power from the multiple antennas.

[0068] S203. If the second antenna is the first antenna, determine the first antenna as the target antenna.

[0069] In an embodiment of the present application, after determining the first antenna and the second antenna, if the second antenna is the first antenna, determine the first antenna as the target antenna.

[0070] In an embodiment of the present application, if the second antenna is the first antenna, it means that the first antenna is the antenna with the largest simulated radiation power obtained based on the return loss parameter and the signal quality parameter, indicating that the first antenna is the optimal antenna among the multiple antennas at this time. Then, determine the first antenna as the target antenna and continue to use the first antenna for the transceiver of radio frequency signals.

[0071] S204. If the second antenna is not the first antenna, obtain the second simulated radiation power corresponding to the first antenna, and determine the target antenna from the first antenna and the second antenna according to the first simulated radiation power and the second simulated radiation power.

[0072] In an embodiment of the present application, after determining the first antenna and the second antenna, if the second antenna is not the first antenna, obtain the second simulated radiation power corresponding to the first antenna, and determine the target antenna from the first antenna and the second antenna according to the first simulated radiation power and the second simulated radiation power.

[0073] In an embodiment of the present application, if the second antenna is not the first antenna, it indicates that the second antenna is the optimal antenna among multiple antennas at this time. However, it is still necessary to determine how large the difference in simulated radiation power is between the first antenna and the second antenna. If the signal strength of the second antenna is much higher than that of the first antenna, that is, the difference between the first simulated radiation power and the second simulated radiation power is greater than or equal to a preset difference threshold, then the first antenna for RF signal transceiver can be switched to the second antenna at this time. If the signal strength of the second antenna is only slightly higher than that of the first antenna, that is, the difference between the first simulated radiation power and the second simulated radiation power is less than the preset difference threshold, indicating that the signal strength of the first antenna is similar to that of the optimal antenna, then the antenna is not switched, and the first antenna is still used for RF signal transceiver.

[0074] In an embodiment of the present application, the electronic device determines the target antenna from the first antenna and the second antenna according to the first simulated radiation power and the second simulated radiation power. Specifically: determine the difference between the first simulated radiation power and the second simulated radiation power; if the difference is greater than or equal to the preset difference threshold, then determine the second antenna as the target antenna; if the difference is less than the preset difference threshold, then determine the first antenna as the target antenna.

[0075] It should be noted that the preset difference threshold is pre-set by the electronic device. If the difference is greater than or equal to the preset difference threshold, indicating that the signal strength of the first antenna is much higher than that of the second antenna, then the first antenna needs to be switched to the second antenna; if the difference is less than the preset difference threshold, indicating that the signal strength of the second antenna is only slightly higher than that of the first antenna, then the antenna does not need to be switched; the specific preset difference threshold can be set according to the actual situation, and the embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitations here.

[0076] In an embodiment of the present application, after the electronic device determines the second antenna as the target antenna, the following method can also be implemented: use the antenna switch to switch the antenna currently performing signal transceiver from the first antenna to the second antenna, and use the second antenna to achieve RF signal transceiver.

[0077] In an embodiment of the present application, after the electronic device determines the first antenna as the target antenna, no antenna switching operation is required, and only the first antenna needs to be continuously used to achieve RF signal transceiver.

[0078] It can be understood that the prior art selects antennas based on the RSSI and RSRP of the antennas. However, when there is a low-noise amplifier near a certain antenna, the performance of the antenna radio frequency receiving end (RX) is very good. At this time, the distance of the radio frequency transmitting end TX (Transport, TX) path is very far. Such a switching scheme will mislead the radio frequency transmitting end TX to be switched to this antenna. However, the good performance of this antenna is not due to its own good performance, but because there is a low-noise amplifier nearby. Such a switching method often causes performance deviation of the whole machine. In this application, the echo loss parameter and / or antenna gain are used as the basis for antenna selection, so that the optimal antenna can be selected more accurately.

[0079] Based on the above embodiments, this application provides an exemplary antenna switching scheme. Figure 3 The following is a schematic diagram of the composition structure of an exemplary electronic device provided by this application, as Figure 3 shown: The electronic device includes a radio frequency transmitting end TX, an antenna switching switch DP4T, a PRX antenna, a DRX antenna, a PRX MIMO antenna, and a DRX MIMO antenna; the radio frequency transmitting end TX can be switched to any one of the 4 MIMO antennas through the antenna switching switch DP4T; Figure 4 The following is a flowchart of an exemplary antenna selection method provided by this application. This application is based on Figure 3 to Figure 4 exemplarily elaborate on the antenna selection method, as follows:

[0080] 1. When it is detected that the received signal strength of the first antenna is less than the preset signal strength threshold, an antenna switching request is initiated.

[0081] Specifically, the electronic device includes a detection unit for detecting the signal strength. When the detection unit detects that the received signal strength of the first antenna that currently realizes radio frequency signal transmission and reception is less than the preset signal strength threshold, an antenna switching request is sent to the electronic device; the first antenna can be any one of the PRX antenna, DRX antenna, PRX MIMO antenna, and DRX MIMO antenna.

[0082] 2. Determine the received signal strength indication RSSI and reference signal received power RSRP on each antenna.

[0083] Specifically, the electronic device respectively determines the received signal strength indication RSSI and reference signal received power RSRP on the PRX antenna, DRX antenna, PRX MIMO antenna, and DRX MIMO antenna.

[0084] 3. Use a sensor to determine the current usage scenario of the mobile phone.

[0085] Specifically, the electronic device determines the current usage scenario of the mobile phone through the sensors in the electronic device.

[0086] 4. Determine the antenna gain list according to the usage scenario.

[0087] Specifically, the electronic device searches for the antenna gain list corresponding to the current usage scenario from the correspondence between the preset usage scenarios and the preset antenna gain lists. The antenna gain list contains the antenna gains corresponding to the PRX antenna, DRX antenna, PRX MIMO antenna, and DRX MIMO antenna respectively in the current usage scenario.

[0088] 5. Determine the echo loss parameters of the antenna switching switch to each antenna.

[0089] Specifically, the electronic device determines the echo loss parameters of the antenna switching switch DP4T to the PRX antenna, DRX antenna, PRX MIMO antenna, and DRX MIMO antenna respectively.

[0090] 6. Calculate the simulated total radiated power TRP of each antenna.

[0091] Specifically, the electronic device calculates the simulated TRP of each antenna according to the antenna gain, echo loss parameter, RSSI, and RSRP of each antenna.

[0092] 7. Select a target antenna from multiple antennas according to the simulated total radiated power TRP of each antenna.

[0093] Specifically, after calculating the simulated TRP of each antenna, the electronic device selects the antenna with the maximum simulated TRP as the target antenna from the PRX antenna, DRX antenna, PRX MIMO antenna, and DRX MIMO antenna according to the simulated total radiated power TRP of each antenna.

[0094] 8. Switch the first antenna to the target antenna and use the target antenna to receive and transmit radio frequency signals.

[0095] Specifically, if the target antenna is not the first antenna and the difference between the simulated TRP of the target antenna and the simulated TRP corresponding to the first antenna is large, then execute the antenna switching program to switch the first antenna to the target antenna and use the target antenna to receive and transmit radio frequency signals.

[0096] 9. Continue to use the first antenna to receive and transmit radio frequency signals.

[0097] Specifically, if the antenna corresponding to the maximum simulated TRP is the current antenna or the difference between the maximum simulated TRP and the simulated TRP corresponding to the current antenna is small, then keep it unchanged without switching and continue to use the first antenna to receive and transmit radio frequency signals.

[0098] It should be noted that Figure 3 This application is an antenna switching scheme based on Time Division Duplex (TDD). However, the technical solution of this application is not only applicable to TDD, but also applicable to communication methods such as Frequency Division Duplex (FDD).

[0099] It should be noted that in Figure 3 the radio frequency transmitting end TX can be switched to any one of the 4 MIMO antennas through the antenna switching switch DP4T. However, the technical solution of this application is not only applicable to the radio frequency transmitting end TX, but also applicable to the radio frequency receiving end RX.

[0100] The embodiment of the present application provides an antenna selection method. The electronic device includes an antenna switching switch and multiple antennas. The antenna switching switch is respectively connected to the multiple antennas. The method includes: when it is detected that the received signal strength corresponding to the first antenna is less than a preset signal strength threshold, determining multiple echo loss parameters between the antenna switching switch and the multiple antennas respectively; the first antenna is the antenna currently performing signal transceiver among the multiple antennas; determining a target antenna from the multiple antennas based on the multiple echo loss parameters, and using the target antenna to implement the transceiver of radio frequency signals; adopting the above implementation scheme, since the path between the antenna switching switch and each antenna is different, different path paths will generate different echo losses, resulting in different signal qualities when using different antennas for signal transceiver. Based on this, the present application selects an antenna according to the echo loss parameters between the antenna switching switch and each antenna, and can more accurately select an antenna with better signal quality for radio frequency signal transceiver, thereby improving the communication quality.
