[0038] On the basis of the above-mentioned communication system, in order to be able to have a more detailed understanding of the characteristics and technical contents of the embodiments of the present invention, the implementation of the embodiments of the present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The attached drawings are for reference only and are not used to limit the embodiments of the present invention.

[0039] Figure 2 Schematic diagram of the first flow of the communication control method in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 As shown, the method may specifically include:

[0040] Step 201: determining a first network device that supports a first communication frequency band, and controlling a first communication module to establish a first communication channel with the first network device;

[0041] The first communication frequency band is a communication frequency band of a first communication network. The first communication network may be any one of the following: a GSM system, a CDMA system, a WCDMA system, a GPRS system, a LTE system, a LTE frequency division duplex system, a LTE time division duplex system, a UMTS system, a WiMAX system, or a 5G system.

[0042] Here, the establishment of a communication connection between the first communication module and the first network device can be understood as selecting one of the dual communication modules to establish a connection with the network device during single-channel communication. For example, when searching the network at startup, the communication module specified by the user is used to search the network and select a suitable network device to reside.

[0043] Further, when the preset trigger condition is met and it is determined that dual-channel communication needs to be performed, the second communication module is controlled to establish a second communication channel with the second network device, and downlink data is received simultaneously using the first communication channel and the second communication channel.

[0044] Step 202: When a preset trigger condition is met, determine a second network device that supports a second communication frequency band, and control a second communication module to establish a second communication channel with the second network device;

[0045] Exemplarily, in some embodiments, the trigger condition includes: determining that the dual-channel transmission function is in an on state; accordingly, the method also includes: obtaining an on instruction of the dual-channel transmission function input by a user; and controlling the dual-channel transmission function to be in an on state in response to the on instruction.

[0046] For example, a control button may be set so that the user can turn on and off the dual-channel transmission function by operating the control button, that is, the user can choose whether to use dual-card data traffic to download data simultaneously.

[0047] Exemplarily, in some embodiments, the method further includes: determining that the downlink data transmission is finished, and controlling the dual-channel transmission function to be in a closed state. That is, when the downlink data transmission is finished, the dual-channel transmission function can be automatically closed and restored to the single-channel transmission function. For example, the first communication module is maintained to establish the first communication channel with the first network device;

[0048] Exemplarily, in some embodiments, the trigger condition includes at least one of the following: determining that the amount of downloaded data is greater than or equal to a preset data amount threshold; the remaining data flow of the first communication module is greater than or equal to a first data flow threshold; the remaining data flow of the second communication module is greater than or equal to a second data flow threshold. The first data flow threshold and the second data flow threshold are equal or different.

[0049] That is to say, when the dual-channel transmission function is in the on state, other trigger conditions can be further set. Specifically, it is determined that the amount of downloaded data is greater than or equal to the preset data amount threshold. It can be understood that when the amount of downloaded data is a large data packet, it is necessary to start the dual-channel transmission function to increase the data download rate. When the remaining data flow of the first communication module is greater than or equal to the first data flow threshold, and the remaining data flow of the second communication module is greater than or equal to the second data flow threshold, it indicates that the remaining flow of the first communication module and the second communication module is sufficient, and the remaining flow of the two communication modules is sufficient to meet the dual-channel data transmission requirements. Otherwise, if the remaining data flow of one of the communication modules is less and cannot support the dual-channel data transmission requirements, only one of the communication modules can be used to download data.

[0050] The second communication frequency band is a communication frequency band of a second communication network, and the first communication frequency band is different from the second communication frequency band. The second communication network can be any one of the following: a GSM system, a CDMA system, a WCDMA system, a GPRS system, an LTE system, an LTE frequency division duplex system, an LTE time division duplex system, a UMTS system, a WiMAX system, or a 5G system.

[0051] In practical applications, the first communication network and the second communication network are the same communication network, or the first communication network and the second communication network are different communication networks.

[0052] Specifically, when the first communication network and the second communication network are the same communication network, the first communication module and the second communication module use different communication frequency bands in the same communication network to establish a connection with the network device. When the first communication network and the second communication network are different communication networks, the first communication module and the second communication module use different communication frequency bands in different communication networks to establish a connection with the network device.

[0053] Exemplarily, when the first communication network and the second communication network are the same communication network, the first communication frequency band is the communication frequency band corresponding to the first communication network, and the second communication frequency band is the re-cultivated frequency band of the communication frequency band corresponding to the third communication network; wherein, the first communication network and the third communication network are different communication networks. That is to say, when the first communication network and the second communication network are the same communication network, the first communication frequency band may be a communication frequency band exclusive to the first communication network, and the second communication frequency band is a re-cultivated frequency band (reforming band) obtained by re-cultivating the communication frequency band of other communication networks (i.e., the third communication network). Here, the re-cultivated frequency band can also be understood as a communication frequency band shared by the first communication network and the third communication network.

[0054] Optionally, the first communication network and the second communication network are both 4G communication networks, 5G communication networks or 6G communication networks. Optionally, the first communication network is one of 4G communication networks, 5G communication networks and 6G communication networks, and the second communication network is one of 4G communication networks, 5G communication networks and 6G communication networks, and they are different communication networks.

[0055] Exemplarily, the first communication network and the second communication network are both 5G communication networks, the first communication frequency band is a sub-6G communication frequency band such as 5Gn77 / n78 / n79, or a millimeter wave communication frequency band, and the second communication frequency band is an LTE re-farmed frequency band such as n41 / n1 / n3, which is also used for 5G communication.

[0056] Figure 3 Schematic diagram of the first structure of the communication system in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 3 As shown, the communication system includes: a first network device 310, a second network device 320 and a terminal device 330. The terminal device 330 includes SIM1 and SIM2. The terminal device 330 uses SIM1 to establish a connection with the first network device 310, and the terminal device 330 uses SIM2 to establish a connection with the second network device 320.

[0057] Figure 4 Schematic diagram of the second structure of the communication system in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 4 As shown, the terminal device 330 includes: a first communication module 331, a second communication module 332, a first antenna 333, a second antenna 334 and a radio frequency transceiver 335. The first communication module 331 as a 5G communication module supports communication frequency bands including sub-6G communication frequency bands such as n77 / n78 / n79; the second communication module 332 as an LTE communication module supports communication frequency bands including LTE communication frequency bands such as B41 / B1 / B3, and re-cultivated frequency bands such as n41 / n1 / n3. The radio frequency transceiver 335, the first communication module 331 and the first antenna 333 form a whole to establish a communication connection with gNB1 (i.e., the first network device), and the radio frequency transceiver 335, the second communication module 332 and the second antenna 334 form a whole to establish a communication connection with gNB2 (i.e., the second network device).

[0058] In actual applications, the terminal device may also be provided with two independent radio frequency transceivers, which are respectively connected to the first communication module 331 and the second communication module 332 .

[0059] In practical applications, the first communication module includes a first subscriber identity module (Subscriber Identity Module, SIM) and a first power amplifier (Power Amplifier, PA), and the second communication module includes a second subscriber identity module and a second power amplifier, for realizing dual-channel communication. That is to say, in the embodiment of the present application, the terminal device is provided with two communication modules, each communication module includes at least one SIM and one PA, for establishing a communication channel with a network device.

[0060] Furthermore, a first power supply is provided to supply power to the first power amplifier, and a second power supply is provided to supply power to the second power amplifier.

[0061] Exemplarily, the first communication network and the second communication network are both 4G communication networks, the first communication frequency band is an LTE communication frequency band such as B1 / B3, and the second communication frequency band is an LTE communication frequency band such as B41.

[0062] Figure 5 Schematic diagram of the third structure of the communication system in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 5 As shown, the first communication module 331 as a 4G communication module supports communication frequency bands including LTE communication frequency bands such as B41; the second communication module 332 as an LTE communication module supports communication frequency bands including LTE communication frequency bands such as B1 / B3. The RF transceiver 335, the first communication module 331 and the first antenna 333 form a whole to establish a communication connection with eNodeB1 (i.e., the first network device), and the RF transceiver 335, the second communication module 332 and the second antenna 334 form a whole to establish a communication connection with eNodeB2 (i.e., the second network device).

[0063] Exemplarily, when the first communication network and the second communication network are different communication networks, the first communication frequency band is the communication frequency band corresponding to the first communication network, and the second communication frequency band is the re-cultivated frequency band of the communication frequency band corresponding to the first communication network. That is to say, when the first communication network and the second communication network are different communication networks, the first communication frequency band is the communication frequency band corresponding to the first communication network, and the second communication frequency band is the re-cultivated frequency band of the communication frequency band corresponding to the first communication network, which is used to realize the communication of the second communication network, and can be understood as a part of the frequency band in the first communication network is shared by the second communication network.

[0064] Exemplarily, the first communication network is a 5G communication network, the second communication network is an LTE communication network, the first communication frequency band is a sub-6G communication frequency band such as 5G n77 / n78 / n79, and the second communication frequency band is an LTE communication frequency band such as B41 / B1 / B3. In practical applications, the second communication module can also support LTE re-cultivated frequency bands such as n41 / n1 / n3, that is, the second communication module can also use the re-cultivated frequency band to achieve 5G communication. Exemplarily, when the 5G terminal device supports non-standalone networking (NSA), such as the B3-n41 combination, it must include a communication module that supports B3 and a communication module that supports n41. The communication module that supports n41 will also support B41, so as to achieve B3-B41 dual 4G communication. That is, a communication module can use the LTE communication frequency band to achieve LTE communication, and can also use the re-cultivated frequency band to achieve 5G communication.

[0065] In actual applications, a separate third communication module can also be set up. The third communication module supports LTE re-cultivated frequency bands such as n41 / n1 / n3, and uses the re-cultivated frequency bands to achieve 5G communication.

[0066] Figure 6 Schematic diagram of the fourth structure of the communication system in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 6 As shown, when the terminal device 330 supports NSA, the terminal device 330 includes: a first communication module 331, a second communication module 332, a first antenna 333, a second antenna 334 and a radio frequency transceiver 335. The communication frequency bands supported by the first communication module 331 as a 5G communication module include sub-6G communication frequency bands such as n77 / n78 / n79; the communication frequency bands supported by the second communication module 332 as an LTE communication module include LTE communication frequency bands such as B41 / B1 / B3. The radio frequency transceiver 335, the first communication module 331 and the first antenna 333 form a whole to establish a communication connection with gNB1 (i.e., the first network device), and the radio frequency transceiver 335, the second communication module 332 and the second antenna 334 form a whole to establish a communication connection with gNB2 (i.e., the second network device).

[0067] In actual applications, the terminal device 330 may also include: a third communication module 336 and a third antenna 337. The third communication module 336 supports re-farmed frequency bands such as n41 / n1 / n3. The RF transceiver 335, the third communication module 336 and the third antenna 337 form a whole to establish a communication connection with gNB1 (ie, the first network device).

[0068] That is to say, the terminal device can be set up with three communication modules to support LTE, reforming band and sub-6G communication frequency bands respectively. One SIM card is used for LTE communication, and the other SIM card searches the surrounding base stations and selects a base station that supports reforming band or sub-6G for 5G communication.

[0069] In some embodiments, the second communication module 332 as an LTE communication module can also simultaneously support re-farmed frequency bands such as n41 / n1 / n3. The second communication module 332 can also support 2G and / or 3G communication frequency bands.

[0070] Step 203: Control the first communication module to receive first downlink data sent by the first network device through the first communication channel;

[0071] Exemplarily, the first communication module generates a first data request according to a data download requirement, and sends the first data request to the first network device. The first network device obtains the first downlink data according to the first data request and sends it to the first communication module.

[0072] Step 204: Control the second communication module to receive second downlink data sent by the second network device through the second communication channel;

[0073] Exemplarily, the second communication module generates a second data request according to a data download requirement, and sends the second data request to the second network device. The second network device obtains the second downlink data according to the second data request and sends it to the second communication module.

[0074] Here, the data download demand can be understood as the data that the terminal device wants to download. When using dual channels for downloading, the terminal device can generate a first data request and a second data request, and request the first network device to send a part of the data (i.e., the first downlink data) through the first data request, and request the second network device to send another part of the data (i.e., the second downlink data) through the second data request. The terminal device then merges the obtained first downlink data and the second downlink data to obtain the third downlink data, i.e., the data that the terminal device wants to download.

[0075] Exemplarily, the data to be downloaded by the terminal device may be Internet data such as audio, video, image, text, etc., and may also be voice call data.

[0076] Step 205: Merge the first downlink data and the second downlink data to obtain third downlink data.

[0077] Exemplarily, the first downlink data and the second downlink data are sent to a processor for merging and processing to obtain third downlink data.

[0078] Here, the execution subject of step 201 to step 205 may be a processor of a terminal device. The terminal device described in this application may include a mobile terminal with wireless communication function such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a laptop computer, a PDA, a portable media player (PMP), a navigation device, a wearable device, a smart bracelet, a camera, etc.

[0079] By adopting the above technical solution, two communication modules are used to establish dual communication channels with two network devices using two different communication frequency bands, and the downlink data is divided into two parts for simultaneous transmission, thereby increasing the data download rate. At the same time, the two communication modules use two SIM cards, consuming the data traffic of the two SIM cards, thereby solving the problem of dual-card data traffic waste.

[0080] In order to better reflect the purpose of this application, further examples are given based on the above embodiments of this application. Figure 7 As shown, the method specifically includes:

[0081] Step 701: Obtain a preset first list and a second list;

[0082] Among them, the first list includes at least one first communication frequency band supported by the terminal device in the first communication network, and the second list includes at least one second communication frequency band supported by the terminal device in the second communication network, and the first communication frequency band and the second communication frequency band are different communication frequency bands.

[0083] That is to say, according to the communication capability of the terminal, different communication frequency bands of the same communication network are classified and saved in the first list and the second list, or the communication frequency bands of different communication networks are classified and saved in the first list and the second list, and the network is searched based on the communication frequency bands in the first list and the second list respectively, and the network equipment that supports the communication frequency bands is determined for communication connection.

[0084] In practical applications, the first communication network and the second communication network are the same communication network, and the first list and the second list store different communication frequency bands of the same communication network. The first communication network and the second communication network are different communication networks, and the first list and the second list store different communication frequency bands of different communication networks.

[0085] Optionally, the first list and the second list include different communication frequency bands of the 4G communication network, different communication frequency bands of the 5G communication network, or different communication frequency bands of the 6G communication network. Optionally, the first list includes one of the communication frequency bands of the 4G communication network, the communication frequency bands of the 5G communication network, and the communication frequency bands of the 6G communication network, and the first list includes one of the communication frequency bands of the 4G communication network, the communication frequency bands of the 5G communication network, and the communication frequency bands of the 6G communication network, and they are communication frequency bands of different communication networks.

[0086] Step 702: Based on the first list, determine the first network device that supports the first communication frequency band in the first list, and control the first communication module to establish a first communication channel with the first network device;

[0087] Here, the first list can be understood as any one of the two preset lists, or a specific list, and the first communication module selects one list from the two lists to search the network and selects a suitable network device to reside.

[0088] Exemplarily, based on the first list, network search, power-on, cell search, system information reception, cell selection and residence, and random access are performed according to a traditional cell search process.

[0089] Step 703: When a preset trigger condition is met, based on the second list, determining the second network device that supports the second communication frequency band in the second list, and controlling the second communication module to establish a second communication channel with the second network device;

[0090] When the user chooses to turn on the dual-card dual-channel transmission function, the establishment of dual communication channels is triggered. First, the communication network of the first communication module is identified at this time. If the first communication module and the network device are using the communication frequency band in the first list for communication transmission at this time, the second communication module is triggered to search for the network, that is, to receive broadcast information from other surrounding network devices, select a second network device that supports the communication frequency band in the second list to establish a second communication channel, and transmit information together with the first communication module bearer network. If the first communication module and the network device are using the communication frequency band in the second list for communication transmission at this time, the second communication module is triggered to search for the network, that is, to receive broadcast information from other surrounding network devices, select a second network device that supports the communication frequency band in the first list to establish a second communication channel, and transmit information together with the first communication module bearer network.

[0091] Exemplarily, the first list includes 5G n77 / n78 / n79 and other sub-6G communication frequency bands, and the second list includes n41 / n1 / n3 and other LTE re-cultivated frequency bands, and identifies the communication network of the first communication module at this time. If the first communication module and the base station are currently using sub-6G for communication transmission, the second communication module is triggered to select a base station in the second list that supports the re-cultivated frequency band in the second list for communication. If the first communication module and the base station are currently using the re-cultivated frequency band for communication transmission, the second communication module is triggered to select a base station in the sub-6G frequency band in the first list for communication.

[0092] Step 704: Control the first communication module to receive first downlink data sent by the first network device through the first communication channel;

[0093] Step 705: Control the second communication module to receive second downlink data sent by the second network device through the second communication channel;

[0094] Step 706: Merge the first downlink data and the second downlink data to obtain third downlink data.

[0095] By adopting the above technical solution, two communication modules are used to establish dual communication channels with two network devices using two different communication frequency bands, and the downlink data is divided into two parts for simultaneous transmission, thereby increasing the data download rate. At the same time, the two communication modules use two SIM cards, consuming the data traffic of the two SIM cards, thereby solving the problem of dual-card data traffic waste.
