[0019] Example implementations will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. Example implementations may, however, be implemented in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the implementations set forth herein; rather, these implementations are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the inventive aspects to those skilled in the art. The described features, structures, or characteristics can be combined in one or more implementations. In the following description, numerous specific details are provided to give a thorough understanding of implementations of the disclosure. One skilled in the relevant art will recognize, however, that the implementations of the disclosure can be practiced without one or more of the specific details, or with other methods, components, materials, and so forth. In other instances, well-known structures have not been described in detail to avoid obscuring aspects of the disclosure.

[0020] Furthermore, the accompanying drawings are only schematic and are non-limiting examples; the description is not intended to be complete or exhaustive. The drawings illustrate principles of the present disclosure and, accordingly, various departure from the specific arrangements described can be made by one skilled in the art, and such departures are intended to fall within the scope of the principles of the present disclosure. Those skilled in the relevant art will also recognize that some of the components, which are already known in the field of antennas and antenna control, are not explicitly identified in order not to obscure the concepts of the present disclosure.

[0021] The flowcharts shown in the drawings are only schematic; the steps have not necessarily to be performed in the order shown, as a skilled person will appreciate. Furthermore, some steps can be left out or combined, and other steps can be added based on practical implementation. Also, the terms "first", "second", "third", "fourth" etc. are only used to identify different steps for the purpose of distinction, and should not be construed as limiting the present disclosure.

[0022] With the increasing powerful functions of terminal devices, many scenarios adopt the way of multiple modes of communication at the same time to realize the corresponding functions. The mode (or communication mode) described in the disclosure can include but is not limited to GSM (Global System for Mobile communications), WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access), LTE (Long Term Evolution), NR (New Radio), WiFi and Bluetooth. Among them, GSM can be referred to as 2G, WCDMA can be referred to as 3G, LTE can be referred to as 4G, and NR can be referred to as 5G.

[0023] However, since the transmitting antennas of each mode are not fixed, when the antennas of multiple modes work at the same time, the problem of hotspot concentration may occur due to the close distance between the working antennas, which may affect the human health.

[0024] In view of this, the disclosure provides a new antenna control scheme.

[0025] Reference Figure 1 The terminal device 10 in the scheme of the disclosure can be various electronic devices configured with multiple antennas and capable of having corresponding communication capabilities, including but not limited to smartphones, tablet computers, smart wearable devices, personal computers, etc.

[0026] The terminal device 10 can include an antenna system, which can include multiple antenna sets, each antenna set being for a different mode. The disclosure does not limit the number of antenna sets contained in the antenna system, nor the number of antennas contained in the antenna set.

[0027] As shown in FIG. 1, the antenna system can include at least one 2G antenna 101, at least one 3G antenna 102, at least one 4G antenna 103, at least one 5G antenna 104, at least one WiFi antenna 105 and at least one Bluetooth antenna 106. Figure 1

[0028] It can be understood that the at least one 2G antenna 101 can constitute an antenna set, the at least one 3G antenna 102 can constitute an antenna set, the at least one 4G antenna 103 can constitute an antenna set, the at least one 5G antenna 104 can constitute an antenna set, the at least one WiFi antenna 105 can constitute an antenna set, and the at least one Bluetooth antenna 106 can constitute an antenna set.

[0029] ​It should be noted that there may be overlap between the antenna sets described in this disclosure. That is, the same antenna can be applied to different standards in different scenarios. For example, antenna A can be used as a WiFi antenna to transmit data in one application scenario, while it can be used as a Bluetooth antenna to transmit data in another application scenario.

[0030] In the exemplary solution disclosed herein, the antenna system of the terminal device includes at least a first antenna set and a second antenna set. The antennas in the first antenna set are capable of transmitting data via a first standard, and the antennas in the second antenna set are capable of transmitting data via a second standard.

[0031] The first antenna set and the second antenna set can be any two antenna sets among the above-mentioned at least one 2G antenna 101, at least one 3G antenna 102, at least one 4G antenna 103, at least one 5G antenna 104, at least one WiFi antenna 105 and at least one Bluetooth antenna 106.

[0032] When both the first and second standards are activated, the terminal device can select a first target antenna from the first antenna set to transmit data for the first standard using the first target antenna. Similarly, the terminal device can select a second target antenna from the second antenna set to transmit data for the second standard using the second target antenna.

[0033] The physical distance between the first target antenna and the second target antenna is greater than the reference distance, which is the smallest physical distance among the antennas in the first antenna set and the antennas in the second antenna set.

[0034] In some embodiments, the physical distance between the antennas in the first antenna set and the antennas in the second antenna set is the largest among the physical distances between the first target antenna and the second target antenna.

[0035] In other words, for each antenna in the first antenna set, determine its physical distance to each antenna in the second antenna set. Alternatively, for each antenna in the second antenna set, determine its physical distance to each antenna in the first antenna set. The antenna in the first antenna set with the largest physical distance is designated as the first target antenna, and the antenna in the second antenna set with the largest physical distance is designated as the second target antenna.

[0036] It should be understood that, as a hardware device, the antenna configuration of a terminal device is usually fixed. With both the first and second standards activated, the first and second target antennas can be directly determined using pre-configured location data.

[0037] In the case of selecting the first target antenna from the first antenna set and the second target antenna from the second antenna set, in order to improve the communication performance of the antennas, compared with the scheme in which multiple antennas jointly back off, resulting in too much transmission power back off, the disclosure also provides a back off strategy. Wherein, back off means to reduce the transmission power of the antenna, through the back off operation, the purpose of meeting the electromagnetic wave absorption ratio SAR specification can be achieved, for example.

[0038] Taking the first target antenna as an example, the transmission power of the first target antenna can be adjusted to the critical value of the first target antenna meeting the SAR specification. The critical value means that once the transmission power increases, the SAR specification is not met. The disclosure does not make specific restrictions on the SAR specification, and the relevant provisions of each region may be different.

[0039] Similarly, the transmission power of the second target antenna can also be adjusted to the critical value of the second target antenna meeting the SAR specification.

[0040] In addition, the antenna system can also include a third antenna set, and the antennas in the third antenna set can transmit data through a third standard.

[0041] In the case of selecting the first target antenna from the first antenna set and the second target antenna from the second antenna set, if the third standard is started, the physical distances of the antennas in the third antenna set from the first target antenna and the second target antenna can be determined respectively, and a third target antenna can be selected from the third antenna set based on the determined physical distances, so as to transmit data by the third target antenna for the third standard.

[0042] Similarly, after selecting the first target antenna, the second target antenna and the third target antenna, if the fourth standard is started, a fourth target antenna can also be selected from the fourth antenna set corresponding to the fourth standard based on the distances from the first target antenna, the second target antenna and the third target antenna respectively, and so on. The disclosure does not limit the number of multiple standard antennas in the transmitting state at the same time.

[0050] The modem processor can include a modulator and a demodulator. The modulator is used to modulate a low-frequency baseband signal to be transmitted into a medium-high frequency signal. The demodulator is used to demodulate the received electromagnetic wave signal into a low-frequency baseband signal.

The application processor outputs a sound signal through an audio device (not limited to the speaker 271, the microphone 272, etc.), or displays an image or a video through the display screen 290.

[0053] In some embodiments, the antenna 1 and the mobile communication module 250 of the electronic device 200 are coupled, and the antenna 2 and the wireless communication module 260 are coupled, so that the electronic device 200 can communicate with a network and other devices through wireless communication technology.

[0060] The units described in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be implemented by software, or can be implemented by hardware, and the units described can also be arranged in a processor. In some cases, the names of the units do not constitute a limitation on the units themselves.

[0061] The antenna control method of the embodiments of the present disclosure can be applied to a terminal device, and the terminal device comprises an antenna system, the antenna system comprising at least a first antenna set and a second antenna set, the antennas in the first antenna set being capable of transmitting data through a first standard, and the antennas in the second antenna set being capable of transmitting data through a second standard.

[0062] The antenna control method can comprise: in the case where both the first standard and the second standard are started, selecting a first target antenna from the first antenna set to transmit data, and selecting a second target antenna from the second antenna set to transmit data, wherein the physical distance between the first target antenna and the second target antenna is the largest among the physical distances between the antennas in the first antenna set and the antennas in the second antenna set.

[0063] The present disclosure can control the antennas of the two standards to be the farthest apart when both the two standards are started, so as to disperse the antenna hotspots as much as possible and reduce the influence on human health.

[0064] Figure 3 A flowchart of the antenna control method of the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure is schematically shown. Referring to Figure 3 The antenna control method can comprise the following steps:

[0065] S32. In the case where both the first standard and the second standard are started, selecting a first target antenna from the first antenna set and selecting a second target antenna from the second antenna set, wherein the physical distance between the first target antenna and the second target antenna is greater than a reference distance, and the reference distance is the smallest physical distance among the physical distances between the antennas in the first antenna set and the antennas in the second antenna set.

[0066] In the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, the first standard and the second standard can be any two of GSM, WCDMA, LTE, NR, WiFi and Bluetooth. The starting of the first standard and / or the second standard can depend on the operation of the user, for example, the user turns on Bluetooth in the setting interface, etc.

[0067] The case where both the first standard and the second standard are started can refer to the moment when the first standard and the second standard start to work at the same time. This moment can be the moment when the first standard has started to work and the second standard is started; or it can also be the moment when the second standard has started to work and the first standard is started; or it can also be the moment when the first standard and the second standard are started at the same time. In addition, it should be noted that the term “work” in the present disclosure refers to transmitting data.

[0068] For example, in the case of starting the second mode after the first mode has started, even if there is a transmitting antenna corresponding to the first mode, according to the scheme of the present disclosure, the terminal device will reselect the transmitting antenna corresponding to the first mode in addition to selecting the transmitting antenna corresponding to the second mode.

[0069] It should be noted that the reselected transmitting antenna of the first mode can be the same antenna as the transmitting antenna when only the first mode is working. In addition, if the first antenna set only includes one antenna, when the second mode is started, the terminal device will still use the antenna as the transmitting antenna corresponding to the first mode. In this case, the terminal device can not perform the above reselection process.

[0070] In the case where it is determined that both the first mode and the second mode are started, the terminal device can select a first target antenna from the first antenna set and a second target antenna from the second antenna set; wherein the physical distance between the first target antenna and the second target antenna is greater than a reference distance, and the reference distance is the smallest physical distance among the physical distances between the antennas in the first antenna set and the antennas in the second antenna set.

[0071] In order to maximize the solution to the problem of the hotspot of the transmitting antenna, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the physical distance between the first target antenna and the second target antenna is the largest among the physical distances between the antennas in the first antenna set and the antennas in the second antenna set.

[0072] According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the distance data between the antennas can be pre-maintained as an antenna distance data table, that is, the pre-constructed antenna distance data table at least includes the physical distances between the antennas in the first antenna set and the antennas in the second antenna set. It should be noted that the physical distances recorded in the antenna distance data table refer to the physical distances between the antennas in different sets, not the physical distances between the antennas in the same set.

[0073] In the case of pre-constructing the antenna distance data table, the first target antenna can be selected from the first antenna set and the second target antenna can be selected from the second antenna set based on the antenna distance data table.

[0074] According to some other embodiments of the present disclosure, in the case where the antenna distance data table is not pre-constructed but the positions of the antennas on the terminal device are known, when both the first mode and the second mode are started, the terminal device can calculate a pair of antennas with the farthest relative distance in the first antenna set and the second antenna set according to the positions of the antennas on the terminal device, that is, the first target antenna and the second target antenna are selected.

[0075] In addition, in the case that the first antenna set includes only one antenna, the antenna can be determined as the first target antenna. In addition, in the case that the second antenna set includes only one antenna, the antenna can be determined as the second target antenna.

[0076] It should be noted that in the case that the first mode and the second mode are both enabled, the terminal device can directly select the first target antenna and the second target antenna.

[0077] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, in the case that the first mode and the second mode are both enabled, the terminal device needs to select the first target antenna and the second target antenna based on the configuration of the antenna mode. Specifically, in the case that the current antenna mode is the first mode, the terminal device selects the first target antenna and the second target antenna. The first mode is an antenna mode that is beneficial to human health.

[0078] That is, in the case that the first mode and the second mode are both enabled, the terminal device needs to query the configuration of the current antenna mode. If it is determined that the current antenna mode is the first mode representing that it is beneficial to human health, the terminal device selects the first target antenna from the first antenna set and selects the second target antenna from the second antenna set.

[0079] S34. In the first mode, the first target antenna transmits data, and in the second mode, the second target antenna transmits data.

[0080] In addition, there is a second mode that is beneficial to communication performance corresponding to the first mode. In the case that the first mode and the second mode are both enabled and the current antenna mode is the second mode, the terminal device can select an antenna from the first antenna set according to the communication parameter value of the antenna in the first antenna set, and select an antenna from the second antenna set according to the communication parameter value of the antenna in the second antenna set, to transmit data.

[0081] The communication parameter value in the present disclosure refers to a parameter value representing the communication capability of the antenna, which can include uplink parameter value and / or downlink parameter value, for example, can be represented by PUSCH (Physical Uplink Shared Channel) and / or RSRP (Reference Signal Receiving Power), which is not limited in the present disclosure.

[0082] In the embodiment of selecting the antenna according to the communication parameter value of the antenna, for example, the communication parameter value of the first target antenna and the communication parameter value of the second target antenna can be acquired, and if the communication parameter value of the first target antenna and the communication parameter value of the second target antenna both satisfy the preset communication requirement, the first target antenna and the second target antenna are directly selected. The preset communication requirement is a requirement representing that the communication capability is greater than a certain degree, and the present disclosure does not make a specific limitation thereon. In addition, since the first target antenna and the second target antenna belong to two systems respectively, the preset communication requirement corresponding to the first target antenna can be different from the preset communication requirement of the second target antenna.

[0083] For another example, the antenna with the best performance can be directly selected from the first antenna set, and the antenna with the best communication performance can be directly selected from the second antenna set.

[0084] The determination manner of the first mode and the second mode can be preset by the system, for example, as the default configuration of the system. Alternatively, the determination manner of the first mode and the second mode can be selected by the user.

[0085] In the embodiment of selecting by the user, the antenna mode can be configured as the first mode or the second mode in response to the mode selection operation in advance.

[0086] For example, the configuration can be preset in the mode selection interface. The antenna mode is configured as the first mode or the second mode in response to the mode selection operation in the mode selection interface, and the mode selection interface contains the selection information for the first mode and the selection information for the second mode.

[0087] Reference Figure 4 The mode selection interface, i.e., the setting interface of the antenna mode, is configured in the setting option of the terminal device, and the mode selection interface contains the selection buttons of the “performance mode” and the “health mode”. It can be easily seen that the “health mode” corresponds to the first mode, and the “performance mode” corresponds to the second mode. As shown in Figure 4 The user can select the “health mode” as the applied antenna mode. However, in another example, the user can also select the “performance mode” as the applied antenna mode.

[0088] It should be noted that, Figure 4 Only one scheme of selecting the antenna mode is shown, and the user can also select the antenna mode in the pull-down menu bar of the terminal device, and the present disclosure does not make a limitation thereon.

[0089] The overall process of the antenna control according to the present disclosure is described below. Figure 5 The overall process of the antenna control according to the present disclosure is described below.

[0090] In step S502, the terminal device detects the start of the first system and the second system.

[0091] In step S504, the terminal device performs mode judgment in response to the selection operation of the user. Specifically, in the case where the user selects the health mode, step S506 is performed; in the case where the user selects the performance mode, step S508 is performed.

[0092] In step S506, the terminal device selects the first target antenna and the second target antenna farthest from the first antenna set corresponding to the first mode and the second antenna set corresponding to the second mode, respectively.

[0093] In step S508, the terminal device performs a judgment process of the communication capability of the antenna. Specifically, it is firstly judged whether the first target antenna and the second target antenna meet the communication requirement, and if yes, step S506 is performed; if no, step S510 is performed.

[0094] In step S510, the terminal device can select the antenna with the best communication capability from the antennas corresponding to the first mode and the antennas corresponding to the second mode.

[0095] In step S512, the terminal device can transmit data by using the selected antenna, so as to realize the simultaneous operation of the first mode and the second mode.

[0096] In the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, in order to improve the communication performance of the first target antenna and the second target antenna, the present disclosure adopts a power backoff strategy.

[0097] The power backoff scheme is described below by taking the first target antenna as an example. It can be understood that the second target antenna also applies to the power backoff scheme described below.

[0098] According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the terminal device can directly adjust the transmission power of the first target antenna to the first transmission power, where the first transmission power is a critical value of the first target antenna meeting the specific absorption rate (SAR) specification. The critical value means that once the transmission power is increased, the SAR specification is not met. The present disclosure does not make specific limitation on the SAR specification, and the relevant provisions of each region may be different.

[0099] According to other embodiments of the present disclosure, the terminal device adjusts the transmission power of the first target antenna to the first transmission power only in the case where the current backoff mode is the first backoff mode.

[0100] Corresponding to the first fallback mode, in a case where the current fallback mode is the second fallback mode, the terminal device can adjust the transmission power of the first target antenna to a second transmission power. The second transmission power is less than the first transmission power. For example, the second transmission power can be an internal control standard of each manufacturer. Since the internal control standards of each manufacturer are different, even for the same manufacturer, the internal control standards are not completely consistent. Therefore, the present disclosure does not limit the specific value of the second transmission power.

[0101] In addition, in a case where the transmission power of the first target antenna is adjusted to the second transmission power, the total data transmission amount of the terminal device can be detected, that is, the total data transmission amount of all antennas of the terminal device in the working state is counted. Next, the total data transmission amount can be compared with the transmission amount threshold. If the total data transmission amount of the terminal device is less than the transmission amount threshold, the transmission power of the first target antenna can be adjusted to the first transmission power. That is, if it is judged that the data transmission amount of the terminal device does not meet the requirement, the transmission power of the first target antenna can be switched to the critical value that meets the SAR standard, that is, the limit transmission power.

[0102] Regarding the determination mode of the first fallback mode and the second fallback mode, it can be pre-set by the system, for example, it is the default configuration of the system. Alternatively, it can be selected by the user.

[0103] In the embodiment where the selection is made by the user, the fallback mode can be configured as the first fallback mode or the second fallback mode in response to the fallback mode selection operation in advance.

[0104] For example, it can be pre-configured in the fallback mode selection interface. That is, the terminal device pre-configures the fallback mode as the first fallback mode or the second fallback mode in response to the fallback mode selection operation in the fallback mode selection interface.

[0105] In addition, since the second transmission power is less than the first transmission power, the second fallback mode can be a fallback mode that helps to save energy compared to the first fallback mode, and the first fallback mode has a larger transmission power compared to the second fallback mode, so it can be a fallback mode that helps performance.

[0106] Reference Figure 6 The setting interface of the antenna performance, that is, the fallback mode selection interface, is configured in the setting option of the terminal device. The interface contains the selection buttons of "energy saving" and "performance". It can be easily seen that "performance" corresponds to the first fallback mode described above, and "energy saving" corresponds to the second fallback mode described above. As shown in Figure 6 The user can select "performance" as the antenna fallback mode. However, in another example, the user can also select the "energy saving" antenna fallback mode.

[0107] Similarly,Figure 6 Only a scheme of selecting a fallback mode is shown, and the user can also select a fallback mode in a pull-down menu bar of the terminal device, and the disclosure does not limit this.

[0108] In addition to the embodiments of directly adjusting to the first transmission power and selecting the fallback mode in response to the user operation, in some other embodiments of the disclosure, the fallback mode can also be determined based on the current battery power of the terminal device or the communication parameter value of the first target antenna.

[0109] In the embodiment of determining the fallback mode based on the current battery power of the terminal device, first, the current battery power of the terminal device can be obtained. Next, the current battery power is compared with a power threshold value, if the current battery power is greater than the power threshold value, the transmission power of the first target antenna can be adjusted to the first transmission power. If the current battery power is less than or equal to the power threshold value, the transmission power of the first target antenna can be adjusted to the second transmission power or a transmission power smaller than the first transmission power. In addition, the disclosure does not limit the specific value of the power threshold value.

[0110] In the embodiment of determining the fallback mode based on the communication parameter value of the first target antenna, first, the communication parameter value (such as the uplink parameter value and / or the downlink parameter value) of the first target antenna can be obtained. Next, the communication parameter value of the first target antenna is compared with a preset communication requirement, if the communication parameter value of the first target antenna does not meet the preset communication requirement, it means that the current communication capability of the first target antenna is poor, in this case, the transmission power of the first target antenna can be adjusted to the first transmission power. If the first target antenna meets the preset communication requirement when transmitting data at the second transmission power, the transmission power of the first target antenna can be maintained at the second transmission power.

[0111] For example, in a location with good communication capability, the energy-saving mode can be selected to reduce the impact on human health. While in a location with weak communication capability, the performance mode can be selected to improve the communication capability.

[0112] In addition, the antenna system can also include a third antenna set, the antennas in the third antenna set can transmit data through a third standard. In the case of selecting the first target antenna from the first antenna set and selecting the second target antenna from the second antenna set, if the third standard is started, the physical distance of each antenna in the third antenna set from the first target antenna and the second target antenna can be determined respectively, and the third target antenna can be selected from the third antenna set to transmit data according to the physical distance of each antenna in the third antenna set from the first target antenna and the second target antenna.

[0113] Specifically, first, a sub-set of antennas can be determined from the antennas of the third antenna set, which have a physical distance to the first target antenna and a physical distance to the second target antenna that are comparable (e.g., the difference between the two is less than a threshold). Next, the antenna with the largest physical distance to the first target antenna or the second target antenna is selected from the sub-set of antennas as the third target antenna.

[0114] In addition, the transmission power of the third target antenna can also be adjusted by the fallback strategy for the first target antenna described above. For example, the transmission power of the third target antenna is adjusted to the critical value at which the third target antenna satisfies the SAR specification.

[0115] When the antenna system includes a fourth antenna set and the fourth standard is started, similarly, the fourth target antenna can also be selected from the fourth antenna set in the manner described above, for example, the selection of the third target antenna, and the transmission power is adjusted, and so on. The present disclosure will not repeat the process.

[0116] It should be noted that in the case of performance degradation of one or more antennas due to user holding or other environmental influences, the performance degraded one or more antennas can be excluded from the antenna system described in the present disclosure before the implementation of the present disclosure, to avoid the problem of poor performance of the selected antenna.

[0117] The following will be described with reference to Figure 7 The antenna control process of the embodiment of the present disclosure will be described.

[0118] In step S702, the terminal device detects the start of the first standard and the second standard.

[0119] In step S704, the terminal device performs mode judgment in response to the selection operation of the user. Specifically, in the case of user selection of the health mode, step S706 is performed; in the case of user selection of the performance mode, step S708 is performed.

[0120] In step S706, the terminal device selects the first target antenna and the second target antenna with the farthest distance from the first antenna set corresponding to the first standard and the second antenna set corresponding to the second standard, respectively.

[0121] In step S708, the terminal device performs the determination process of the antenna communication capability. Specifically, it is determined whether the first target antenna and the second target antenna meet the communication requirements first. If yes, step S706 is performed; if not, step S710 is performed.

[0122] In step S710, the terminal device can select the antenna with the best communication capability from the antennas corresponding to the first standard, and the antenna with the best communication capability from the antennas corresponding to the second standard.

[0123] In step S712, the terminal device determines the fallback method. If the user selects the power-saving mode, step S714 is executed; if the user selects the performance mode, step S716 is executed.

[0124] In step S714, the terminal device can call the backoff power set by the manufacturer that meets the internal control standards, perform power backoff, and transmit data according to the backoffed transmission power.

[0125] In step S716, the terminal device can call the minimum back-off power, that is, the back-off power that just meets the SAR specification, to perform power back-off, and transmit data according to the back-off transmission power.

[0126] In addition, although step S714 is executed after step S710 in the figure, it is understandable that step S712 or step S716 can also be executed after step S710.

[0127] Figure 8 A schematic diagram of the antenna configuration of the terminal device is shown. (For example...) Figure 8 As shown, the terminal device includes at least antennas ANT0, ANT1, ANT2, ANT3, ANT4, ANT5, ANT6, ANT7, and ANT8. Among them, antennas ANT2 and ANT6 are WiFi transmitting antennas, and antennas ANT3 and ANT4 are 5G transmitting antennas.

[0128] When antenna ANT6 is working, if the 5G standard is started, antenna ANT4 can be selected as the 5G transmitting antenna according to the antenna control method disclosed herein, so as to avoid the problem of hot spot concentration caused by antenna ANT3 being close to antenna ANT6 and affecting human health.

[0129] In addition, even if antennas ANT2 and ANT6 are used as WiFi transmitting antennas, in order to reduce the impact on human health, this disclosed solution will also select antenna ANT4 as the 5G transmitting antenna.

[0130] Table 1 illustrates the exemplary backoff power of this disclosure using the energy-saving mode mentioned above (i.e., the transmission power after backoff is the second transmission power) as an example.

[0131] Table 1

[0132]

[0133] It is understandable that the simultaneous transmission scenarios described in Table 1 refer to scenarios where WiFi and 5G are simultaneously transmitting.

[0134] In summary, in one aspect, the present disclosure disperses the antenna hotspots as much as possible by controlling the farthest distance of the antennas of multiple modes, so as to reduce the impact on human health. In another aspect, the present disclosure provides a new antenna power backoff strategy, which can realize the adjustment of energy saving or performance, and helps to reasonably utilize the antennas according to different scenarios.
