Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of computer technology, and in particular to a method and device for determining link priority. Background Art

[0002] Data can be transmitted between terminal devices via a designated link. For example, a smartphone and a Bluetooth headset connected via Bluetooth can transmit audio data packets via the Bluetooth Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) link. Currently, in order to ensure smooth music playback without interruption, the sender (smartphone) will increase the priority of the A2DP link after determining that there are audio data packets to be sent on the A2DP link, and lower the priority of the A2DP link after the A2DP data packets are sent. However, the receiver (Bluetooth headset) cannot predict in advance whether it is an A2DP data packet or a normal Access Control List (ACL) data packet, so the A2DP link on the receiver side usually remains in the highest priority state until the A2DP link is disconnected. The A2DP link priority on the receiver side is always higher than that of other links, affecting the utilization of the baseband and even causing other links to be disconnected. Summary of the Invention

[0038] In order to better understand the technical solutions of this specification, the embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0039] It should be clear that the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this specification, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this specification, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of this specification.

[0040] The terms used in the embodiments of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this specification. The singular forms "a", "an", "the" and "the" used in the embodiments of the present invention and the appended claims are also intended to include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0041] In current Bluetooth transmissions, the receiving end cannot predict whether it is receiving an A2DP packet or a standard ACL packet. Therefore, the receiving end's A2DP link is usually kept at the highest priority, affecting the use of other links and reducing baseband utilization. Based on this situation, an embodiment of the present invention provides a link priority determination method for setting a specified link as the highest priority during certain time periods.

[0042] Figure 1 This is a flow chart of a link priority determination method provided by an embodiment of the present invention. This method can be applied to terminal devices, especially terminal devices that serve as data receiving ends, such as Bluetooth headsets, smart speakers, etc. Figure 1 As shown, the method may include:

[0043] Step 101: When a designated data packet is received for the first time in the Mth monitoring period, the time when the designated data packet is received for the first time is determined as the initial time.

[0044] Step 102: Determine an M+1th monitoring period based on the initial time, wherein a monitoring start point of the M+1th monitoring period is located after the initial time and is spaced from the initial time by a first threshold.

[0045] In an embodiment of the present invention, a terminal device sets a certain data packet as a designated data packet in advance, and performs the above operation upon receiving the designated data packet. If two terminal devices have established a Bluetooth connection, the designated data packet in the embodiment of the present invention may be an A2DP data packet. After the terminal device receives the designated data packet, it determines the monitoring period based on the designated data packet. Specifically, it first determines the initial time based on the time when the designated data packet is first received during the monitoring period, and then determines the next monitoring period based on the initial time, that is, determines the monitoring start point and monitoring end point of the next monitoring period.

[0046] Step 103: During the Mth and M+1th monitoring periods, the designated link corresponding to the designated data packet is set to the highest priority.

[0047] In this embodiment of the present invention, after receiving a designated data packet, a terminal device determines a listening period. During any listening period, the designated link corresponding to the designated data packet is set to the highest priority, thereby ensuring normal transmission of the designated data packet. During periods outside of the listening period, the designated link corresponding to the designated data packet is set to a non-highest priority to avoid affecting the normal communication of other links, thereby optimizing the link scheduling process.

[0048] In one embodiment, when M takes a value of 1, the listening starting point of the Mth listening period is the moment when the designated data packet is first received; when M takes a value greater than 1, the listening starting point of the Mth listening period is determined based on the moment when the designated data packet is first received in the M-1th listening period and is separated from the corresponding moment by a first threshold. It can be understood that the terminal device can determine the listening starting point of the next listening period based on the moment (initial moment) when the designated data packet is first received in the current listening period, while the first listening period, as the first listening period, cannot have its listening starting point determined based on the moment when the first designated data packet is received in the previous listening period. For the first listening period, the terminal device will determine the moment when the designated data packet is first received in the first listening period as the listening starting point of the first listening period.

[0049] In a real-world scenario, when a terminal device first establishes a connection with another device, it sets the designated link to a non-highest priority by default and monitors in real time whether it has received a designated data packet. Upon receiving a designated data packet, the terminal device determines the moment of receipt of the first designated data packet as the initial time. The first listening period starts at this initial time, and the second listening period starts at a time after this initial time and a distance from this initial time of a first threshold. During the first and second listening periods, the terminal device sets the designated link to the highest priority. When the second listening period begins, the terminal device continues to monitor in real time. If a designated data packet is received, the terminal device resets the moment of receipt of the first designated data packet during the second listening period as the initial time, and uses this initial time to determine the listening start point for the third listening period. The listening start point for the third listening period is also after this initial time and a distance from this initial time of a first threshold. If the terminal device does not receive a designated data packet during the second listening period, the terminal device does not reset the third listening period, and the process ends. The process continues until the terminal device receives a designated data packet again, resets the first listening period, and begins the next cycle.

[0050] In one embodiment, when a terminal device determines any listening period, it divides the listening period into a primary listening period and a secondary listening period, wherein the duration between the listening start and end of the primary listening period is a first numerical value, and the duration between the listening start and end of the secondary listening period is a second numerical value. The first numerical value and the second numerical value can be the same or different, and can be changed accordingly according to actual circumstances. The primary listening period precedes the secondary listening period, and the listening end of the primary listening period is the listening start of the secondary listening period. If the terminal device receives a designated data packet during the secondary listening period, the listening end of the secondary listening period is extended each time the designated data packet is received. Specifically, the listening end of the secondary listening period is re-determined using the time when the designated data packet is received as a reference point, and the updated listening end of the secondary listening period is located after the reference point and the difference from the reference point is the second numerical value. For example, if a listening period covers a time period from 0 to 10 (units omitted), where the primary listening period is from 0 to 6 and the secondary listening period is from 6 to 10, if the terminal device receives the designated data packet at time 8, the listening end of the secondary listening period is updated using this time as the reference point. Here, the second value is 4, and the monitoring end point of the secondary monitoring period is updated to be at time 12. If the designated data packet is not received again between 8 and 12, the monitoring period ends after time 12.

[0051] In the embodiment of the present invention, the time period in which the designated data packet may be received can be more flexibly covered by setting the primary monitoring period and the secondary monitoring period.

[0052] The link priority determination method provided by the embodiment of the present invention is further described below with a specific embodiment. After the smartphone establishes a connection with the Bluetooth headset via Bluetooth, the smartphone can send an A2DP data packet to the Bluetooth headset via Bluetooth. As the data receiving end, the Bluetooth headset cannot determine in advance when the smartphone will send the A2DP data packet, that is, the start time is uncertain; nor can it determine in advance when the smartphone will stop sending the A2DP data packet, that is, the end time is uncertain. The smartphone sends A2DP data packets periodically, usually with a period of about 20ms. Based on the above characteristics, the Bluetooth headset can use the link priority determination method of the embodiment of the present invention to set the A2DP link to the highest priority within a specified time period, which will neither miss the A2DP data packet nor affect the utilization of the entire baseband. The reception of the first A2DP data packet by the Bluetooth headset can be regarded as the beginning of this process, and the process ends until no A2DP data packet is received within a certain listening period. In order to make the description clearer, the terminal device is regarded as entering the listening mode when it receives the A2DP data packet, and as entering the normal mode when the process ends, such as Figure 2 As shown in the figure, once the Bluetooth headset is connected to the smartphone, it switches between normal mode and monitoring mode. Figure 3 Taking the Bluetooth headset as an example, the process of switching from normal mode to monitoring mode is further described. Figure 3 A rectangle in the middle represents a fixed duration, a rectangle filled with black represents the duration of receiving the A2DP data packet during the listening period, a rectangle filled with a dotted gradient represents the duration of not receiving the A2DP data packet during the listening period, and a blank rectangle represents the duration included in the non-listening period. The highest rectangle represents the duration included in the main listening period, the first duration (rectangle with subscript 1) is the duration included in the main listening period, the second rectangle with the highest height is the duration included in the secondary listening period, the fourth duration (rectangle with subscript 4) is the duration included in the secondary listening period, the shortest rectangle is the duration included in the non-listening period, and the sixth duration (rectangle with subscript 6) is the duration included in the non-listening period. In this embodiment of the present invention, the Bluetooth headset sets the first value to 3, the main listening period includes 3 fixed durations, the second value is set to 2, and the secondary listening period includes 2 fixed durations. The Bluetooth headset receives the A2DP data packet within the first moment (the starting point of the first duration), enters the monitoring mode, sets the first moment as the initial moment, and determines the first monitoring period and the second monitoring period. The monitoring starting point of the first monitoring period is the first moment, and the monitoring starting point of the second monitoring period is the first threshold away from the first moment. Here, the first threshold is set to 12 fixed durations. Figure 3It can be seen that the Bluetooth headset received A2DP data packets in the first and second durations, but did not receive A2DP data packets in the third to fifth durations. The monitoring end point of the secondary monitoring period will not be extended. The first to fifth durations are the first monitoring period, and the sixth to 12th durations are the non-monitoring period. The Bluetooth headset will set the A2DP link in the first to fifth durations to the highest priority, and the A2DP link in the sixth to 12th durations to the non-highest priority.

[0053] The second listening period is initially from the 13th to the 17th duration. From the 13th to the 16th duration, the Bluetooth headset did not receive the A2DP data packet. At the second moment (the starting point of the 17th duration), the A2DP data packet was received for the first time. The Bluetooth headset re-determined the second moment as the initial moment, and determined the listening starting point of the third listening period based on this initial moment. The third listening period is also 12 fixed durations away from this initial moment. The 16th to the 17th duration is the second sub-listening period (the sub-listening period of the second listening period). If the A2DP data packet is received within the 17th duration, the Bluetooth headset will update the listening end point of the second sub-listening period. If the A2DP data packet is received again within the 18th duration, the Bluetooth headset will update the above-mentioned listening end point again. The updated listening is always the second value (here are two fixed durations) away from the moment when the A2DP data packet was last received, that is, the listening end point is within the 20th duration. After the update, the second listening period is from the 13th to the 20th time period, and the Bluetooth headset sets the A2DP link to the highest priority from the 13th to the 20th time period. The 21st to the 28th are non-listening periods, and the Bluetooth headset sets the A2DP link to non-highest priority within this range.

[0054] The 29th to 33rd duration is the third listening period. During this period, the Bluetooth headset does not receive any A2DP data packets, and the Bluetooth headset does not determine the next listening period. It exits the listening mode at the 33rd duration. When the A2DP data packet is received again, the Bluetooth headset switches from normal mode to listening mode again and repeats the above process.

[0055] Figure 3 The rectangle shown is only used as an example to describe the link priority determination method of the embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the present method. For example, Figure 3 The rectangle in can also represent an instant in time.

[0056] Figure 4 Schematic diagram of another link priority determination method provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 As shown, this may include:

[0057] Step 401: Receive a data packet.

[0058] After the terminal device establishes a Bluetooth connection with other devices, it can receive data packets sent by the other end.

[0059] Step 402: Determine whether it is an A2DP data packet.

[0060] The terminal device determines whether the received data packet is an A2DP data packet. If so, the process proceeds to step 403 ; otherwise, the process continues to detect.

[0061] Step 403: Enter monitoring mode, configure parameters, and determine the next monitoring period.

[0062] After the terminal device enters the monitoring mode, it will determine the monitoring start point of the next monitoring period according to the initial time. The configured parameters may include a first threshold, a first value, a second value, and the determined monitoring start point and monitoring end point.

[0063] Step 404: Whether an A2DP data packet is received during the current monitoring period.

[0064] If an A2DP data packet is received during the current monitoring period, the process proceeds to step 405 ; otherwise, the process proceeds to step 406 .

[0065] Step 405: Determine the next monitoring period.

[0066] Step 406: Exit monitoring mode.

[0067] After the terminal device exits the monitoring mode, it continues to detect data packets. After receiving the A2DP data packet again, the above process is repeated.

[0068] In the embodiment of the present invention, the terminal device determines multiple monitoring periods and sets the designated link to the highest priority only during the monitoring period, which ensures that the designated data packet will not be missed and reduces the impact on the scheduling of other links.
