Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to an antenna configuration method, apparatus, electronic device, and storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of communication technology, AsDiV (Antenna Switching Diversity) technology was proposed to solve the problem of "death grip" that users often encounter when using electronic devices for communication. "Death grip" refers to the situation where the transmission and reception signals of electronic devices are weakened or even disappear due to the obstruction of the hand when a user holds the frame or back cover of the electronic device.

[0003] In 4G (4th Generation Mobile Communication Technology), AsDiV technology is already very mature. However, in 5G (5th Generation Mobile Communication Technology), especially in EN-DC (E-UTRA-NR Dual Connection, LTE-NR Dual Connection) technology, the NR (New Radio) antenna is usually locked, or the NR only switches between two antennas. This results in poor antenna switching flexibility and affects antenna performance. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Therefore, the first objective of this invention is to propose an antenna configuration method to achieve multi-antenna switching when antennas are shared between antenna ports of a first network and antenna ports of a second network. This is done by configuring antennas corresponding to at least one antenna port in the first network and antennas corresponding to at least one antenna port in the second network, while avoiding antenna conflicts between different networks caused by multi-antenna switching, thereby improving signal reception and transmission performance.

[0006] The second objective of this invention is to provide an antenna configuration device.

[0008] The fourth objective of this invention is to provide a non-transient computer-readable storage medium.

[0009] The fifth objective of this invention is to provide a computer program product.

[0010] To achieve the above objectives, a first aspect of the present invention provides an antenna configuration method, comprising:

[0018] Based on the antenna configuration switching status of the TRX antenna port in the first network, the corresponding configuration table is queried to determine the antenna configured for each receiving antenna port in the first network.

[0019] Optionally, as a third possible implementation of the first aspect, there are multiple configuration tables corresponding to the antenna configuration switching states. The step of querying the corresponding configuration table based on the antenna configuration switching state of the TRX antenna port in the first network to determine the antenna configured for each receiving antenna port in the first network includes:

[0025] The configuration table is established based on the antenna sharing relationship between the antenna ports of the first network and the antenna ports of the second network. It is used to indicate the antennas corresponding to each antenna port of the first network and the antennas corresponding to the antenna ports in the second network that have a sharing relationship.

[0026] Alternatively, as a fifth possible implementation of the first aspect, the method further includes:

[0027] In response to the arrival of the antenna diversity switching AsDiV trigger condition, the reference signal received power of the LTE network is determined;

[0028] If the reference signal received power of the LTE network is less than a threshold, the LTE network shall be designated as the first network.

[0029] If the reference signal received power of the LTE network is greater than or equal to the threshold, the NR network is used as the first network.

[0030] The method of this invention acquires the signal quality of multiple antennas, configures an antenna corresponding to at least one antenna port in a first network based on the signal quality of the multiple antennas, and then configures an antenna corresponding to at least one antenna port in a second network based on the antenna sharing relationship between the antenna ports of the first network and the antenna ports of the second network. Therefore, even when antenna sharing exists between the antenna ports of the first network and the antenna ports of the second network, multi-antenna switching can be achieved by configuring antennas corresponding to at least one antenna port in the first network and at least one antenna port in the second network, while avoiding antenna conflicts between different networks caused by multi-antenna switching, thus improving signal reception and transmission performance.

[0031] To achieve the above objectives, a second aspect of the present invention provides an antenna configuration device, comprising:

[0036] From the plurality of antennas, determine the target antenna with the best signal quality;

[0037] Configure the target antenna to the transmit and master TRX antenna ports in the first network.

[0038] Alternatively, as a second possible implementation of the second aspect, the apparatus further includes:

[0040] Optionally, as a third possible implementation of the second aspect, there are multiple configuration tables corresponding to the antenna configuration switching state, and the query module is used for:

[0041] Based on the antenna configuration switching status of the TRX antenna port in the first network, query the corresponding multiple configuration tables;

[0044] Alternatively, as a fourth possible implementation of the second aspect, the second configuration module is used for:

[0045] Based on the configuration table corresponding to the antenna configuration switching status of the TRX antenna port in the first network, determine the antenna corresponding to each antenna port in the second network;

[0046] The configuration table is established based on the antenna sharing relationship between the antenna ports of the first network and the antenna ports of the second network. It is used to indicate the antennas corresponding to each antenna port of the first network and the antennas corresponding to the antenna ports in the second network that have a sharing relationship.

[0047] Alternatively, as a fifth possible implementation of the second aspect, the apparatus further includes:

[0048] The determination module is used to determine the reference signal received power of the LTE network in response to the arrival of the antenna diversity switching AsDiV trigger condition;

[0050] The apparatus of this invention acquires the signal quality of multiple antennas and configures an antenna corresponding to at least one antenna port in a first network based on the signal quality of the multiple antennas. Furthermore, based on the antenna sharing relationship between the antenna ports of the first network and the antenna ports of the second network, it configures an antenna corresponding to at least one antenna port in the second network. Therefore, even when antenna sharing exists between the antenna ports of the first and second networks, multi-antenna switching can be achieved by configuring antennas corresponding to at least one antenna port in the first network and at least one antenna port in the second network. This simultaneously avoids antenna conflicts between different networks caused by multi-antenna switching, thereby improving signal reception and transmission performance.

[0067] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0068] The antenna configuration method and apparatus of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0069] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating an antenna configuration method provided in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0070] In related technologies, in order to avoid antenna conflicts between different networks caused by multiple antenna switching, antennas are often configured by fixing some antennas and only switching two antennas, which affects the signal reception and transmission performance.

[0071] To address this issue, embodiments of the present invention provide an antenna configuration method. This method enables multi-antenna switching when antennas are shared between antenna ports in a first network and antenna ports in a second network. By configuring antennas corresponding to at least one antenna port in the first network and at least one antenna port in the second network, multi-antenna switching is achieved, while simultaneously avoiding antenna conflicts between different networks caused by multi-antenna switching. This improves signal reception and transmission performance. Figure 1 As shown, the antenna configuration method includes the following steps:

[0072] Step 101: Obtain the signal quality of multiple antennas.

[0073] It should be noted that this embodiment is illustrated by the example of the antenna configuration method being configured in an antenna configuration device. The antenna configuration device can be applied to any electronic device so that the electronic device can perform the antenna configuration function.

[0074] In this embodiment, during the use of the electronic device, multiple antennas can receive electromagnetic wave signals, and the signal quality can be determined based on the received electromagnetic wave signals, thereby enabling the antenna configuration device to obtain the signal quality of multiple antennas.

[0075] Step 102: Configure the antenna corresponding to at least one antenna port in the first network according to the signal quality of the plurality of antennas.

[0076] In this embodiment, antennas corresponding to at least one antenna port in the first network can be configured based on the signal quality of the multiple antennas obtained in step 101. As a possible application scenario, in an LTE-NR dual-connectivity scenario, the first network can be either an LTE (long Term Evolution) network or an NR (New Radio) network. Optionally, the multiple antennas can be sorted according to their signal quality, thereby configuring the antennas with better signal quality to the antennas corresponding to each antenna port in the first network.

[0077] It is understandable that when the LTE network is set as the first network, the corresponding NR network is the second network. Similarly, when the NR network is set as the first network, the LTE network is the second network. As one possible implementation, the assignment of the first and second networks can be determined based on the relationship between the network's reference signal received power and a set threshold.

[0078] It should be noted that the first network and the second network only represent the order of network priority and should not be interpreted as indicating or implying relative importance. Understandably, the first network has a higher priority than the second network. Therefore, it is necessary to first configure multiple antennas with better signal quality to the antennas corresponding to each antenna port in the first network, and then configure the antennas corresponding to each antenna port in the second network according to the antenna sharing relationship between the antenna ports of the first network and the antenna ports of the second network.

[0079] Step 103: Configure the antenna corresponding to at least one antenna port in the second network according to the antenna sharing relationship between the antenna ports of the first network and the antenna ports of the second network.

[0080] In this embodiment, the antenna ports of the first network and the antenna ports of the second network share the plurality of antennas, thus establishing a sharing relationship between the antenna ports of the first network and the antenna ports of the second network. As one possible implementation, this sharing relationship is that each antenna port of the first network shares an antenna with the corresponding antenna port of the second network; as another possible implementation, this sharing relationship is that at least one antenna port of the first network shares an antenna with at least one antenna port of the second network.

[0081] Optionally, the antennas corresponding to at least one antenna port in the second network can be configured based on the antenna sharing relationship between the antenna ports of the first network and the antenna ports of the second network, as well as the antennas corresponding to at least one antenna port in the first network.

[0082] Since the antennas corresponding to at least one antenna port in the first network can be configured first, and then the antennas corresponding to at least one antenna port in the second network can be configured according to the antenna sharing relationship between the antenna ports of the first network and the antenna ports of the second network, multi-antenna switching can be achieved when the antenna ports of the first network and the antenna ports of the second network share antennas, thus avoiding antenna conflict problems and improving signal reception and transmission performance.

[0083] In this embodiment, by acquiring the signal quality of multiple antennas, at least one antenna port in the first network is configured based on the signal quality of these multiple antennas. Furthermore, based on the antenna sharing relationship between the antenna ports of the first and second networks, at least one antenna port in the second network is configured. Therefore, even when antenna sharing exists between the antenna ports of the first and second networks, multi-antenna switching can be achieved by configuring antennas corresponding to at least one antenna port in the first and second networks, while simultaneously avoiding antenna conflicts between different networks caused by multi-antenna switching, thus improving signal reception and transmission performance.

[0084] To clearly illustrate the previous embodiment, this embodiment provides another antenna configuration method. Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating another antenna configuration method provided in an embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that this embodiment is applied to an LTE-NR dual-connectivity scenario, where the first network and the second network are either an LTE network or an NR network.

[0085] like Figure 2 As shown, the antenna configuration method may include the following steps:

[0086] Step 201: In response to the antenna diversity switching AsDiV trigger condition being met, determine the reference signal received power of the LTE network.

[0087] It should be noted that when the LTE / NR network periodically monitors the signal quality of multiple antennas and the percentage of the current antenna's maximum transmit power (MTPL), if the signal quality of an antenna other than the current antenna is higher than that of the current antenna and exceeds a set signal quality value, or if the percentage of the current antenna's maximum transmit power (MTPL) reaches the set maximum transmit power (MTPL) percentage, antenna diversity switching (AsDiV) will be triggered. Therefore, the triggering condition for antenna diversity switching (AsDiV) can be that the signal quality of an antenna other than the current antenna is higher than that of the current antenna and exceeds a set signal quality value, or that the percentage of the current antenna's maximum transmit power (MTPL) reaches the set maximum transmit power (MTPL) percentage.

[0088] In this embodiment, in response to the LTE network reaching the antenna diversity switching AsDiV trigger condition, the reference signal received power (RSRP) of the current LTE network can be determined, and then the reference signal received power (RSRP) of the current LTE network can be compared with a threshold to determine whether the LTE network can be used as the first network.

[0089] Step 202: If the reference signal received power of the LTE network is less than the threshold, the LTE network is used as the first network.

[0090] As one possible implementation, the threshold can be set to -105 dBm (decibel relative to one milliwatt). Optionally, when the reference signal received power (RSRP) of the LTE network is less than the threshold, i.e., less than -105 dBm, the LTE network is considered to be in a weak field state. In order to ensure normal registration of anchor cells in the network, multiple antennas with better signal quality should be configured to the antennas corresponding to each antenna port in the LTE network. That is, the LTE network should be regarded as the first network, and the NR network should be regarded as the second network.

[0091] Similar to the explanation of the first and second networks in step 102, the first and second networks here only represent the order of network priority and should not be interpreted as indicating or implying relative importance. The first network has a higher priority than the second network. Therefore, it is necessary to first configure multiple antennas with better signal quality to the antennas corresponding to each antenna port in the first network, and then configure the antennas corresponding to each antenna port in the second network according to the antenna sharing relationship between the antenna ports of the first and second networks.

[0092] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the antenna sharing relationship between the first network and the second network includes the following: the antenna corresponding to the TRX antenna port in the first network should be consistent with the antenna corresponding to the PRXMIMO antenna port in the second network; the antenna corresponding to the DRX antenna port in the first network should be consistent with the antenna corresponding to the DRXMIMO antenna port in the second network; the antenna corresponding to the PRXMIMO antenna port in the first network should be consistent with the antenna corresponding to the TRX antenna port in the second network; and the antenna corresponding to the DRXMIMO antenna port in the first network should be consistent with the antenna corresponding to the DRX antenna port in the second network.

[0093] Step 203: If the reference signal received power of the LTE network is greater than or equal to the threshold, the NR network is used as the first network.

[0094] Optionally, when the reference signal received power (RSRP) of the LTE network is greater than or equal to a threshold, i.e., greater than or equal to -105dBm, the LTE network is considered to be in a strong field state. In order to ensure that the data throughput in the network reaches the optimal level, multiple antennas with better signal quality should be configured to the antennas corresponding to each antenna port in the NR network. In other words, the NR network should be regarded as the first network, and the LTE network should be regarded as the second network.

[0095] Step 204: Obtain the signal quality of multiple antennas.

[0096] In this embodiment, the execution process of this step can be referred to step 101 in the previous embodiment, and the principle is the same, so it will not be repeated here.

[0097] Step 205: Determine the target antenna with the best signal quality from among multiple antennas.

[0098] In this embodiment, based on the signal quality of the multiple antennas obtained in step 204, a target antenna with the best signal quality can be determined from among the multiple antennas. Optionally, the multiple antennas can be sorted according to their signal quality to obtain the target antenna with the best signal quality. Alternatively, any antenna can be selected as the target antenna with the best signal quality, and the signal quality of the target antenna can be compared with the signal quality of the other antennas. If the signal quality of any antenna is better than that of the current target antenna, the target antenna is replaced, that is, the antenna with the better signal quality is selected as the target antenna, and then compared with the other antennas that have not been compared. Similarly, if the signal quality of any antenna is better than that of the current target antenna, the target antenna is also replaced, until all antennas except the initially determined target antenna have been compared, thereby determining the target antenna with the best signal quality. This embodiment does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0099] Step 206: Configure the target antenna to the transmit and master TRX antenna ports in the first network.

[0100] In this embodiment, the target antenna with the best signal quality determined in step 205 is configured to the transmit and master set TRX (TX and RX, Transmit X and Receive X) antenna ports in the first network, thereby completing the antenna configuration switching corresponding to the transmit and master set TRX antenna ports in the first network.

[0101] Step 207: Based on the antenna configuration switching status of the TRX antenna port in the first network, query the corresponding configuration table to determine the antennas configured for each receiving antenna port in the first network.

[0102] The configuration table is established based on the antenna sharing relationships between the antenna ports of the first network and the antenna ports of the second network. It indicates the antennas corresponding to each antenna port of the first network, and the antennas corresponding to antenna ports in the second network that have sharing relationships. When there are multiple antenna sharing relationships as described above, the configuration table can be matched with at least one antenna sharing relationship.

[0103] In this embodiment, configuring the target antenna to the transmit and main TRX antenna ports in the first network means that the antenna configuration switching corresponding to the transmit and main TRX antenna ports in the first network is completed. Therefore, the corresponding configuration table can be queried according to the antenna configuration switching status of the TRX antenna ports in the first network to determine the antennas that should be configured for the other receive antenna ports in the first network.

[0104] For example, assuming there is no configuration before the initial state, neither the first nor the second network has switched, and the config (state) is recorded as config-0. The antenna corresponding to the TRX antenna port in the first network is ANT (Antenna hardware interface) 3, and the target antenna with the best signal quality is determined to be ANT4. When the target antenna is configured to the TRX antenna port in the first network, the antenna corresponding to the TRX antenna port in the first network switches from ANT3 to ANT4. Thus, based on the antenna configuration switching state of the TRX antenna port in the first network, the corresponding configuration table can be queried to determine the antennas that should be configured for the other receiving antenna ports in the first network.

[0105] It should be noted that if the corresponding configuration table is not found, since the target antenna with the best signal quality is configured to the transmit and main TRX antenna ports in the first network, the antennas that should be configured for the other receive antenna ports in the first network can be determined based on the initial state of each antenna port in the first network, i.e., config-0, and the antenna configuration switching state of the TRX antenna ports in the first network.

[0106] For example, suppose that when the antenna ports in the first network are in their initial state (config-0), the antenna corresponding to the TRX antenna interface is ANT3, the antenna corresponding to the DRX antenna interface is ANT4, the antenna corresponding to the PRXMIMO antenna interface is ANT1, and the antenna corresponding to the DRXMIMO antenna interface is ANT2. If the antenna configuration of the TRX antenna port in the first network is switched to ANT1, it can be determined that the antennas corresponding to the DRX and DRXMIMO antenna interfaces in the first network remain unchanged, and the antenna configured for the PRXMIMO antenna interface should be ANT3.

[0107] Step 208: Determine the antennas corresponding to each antenna port in the second network based on the configuration table corresponding to the antenna configuration switching status of the TRX antenna port in the first network.

[0108] It should be noted that the configuration table can be used to indicate the antennas corresponding to each antenna port in the first network and the antennas corresponding to antenna ports that have a shared relationship in the second network. Thus, the antennas corresponding to each antenna port in the second network can be determined according to the configuration table corresponding to the antenna configuration switching status of the TRX antenna ports in the first network.

[0109] For example, suppose we take the NR network as the first network and the LTE network as the second network. Both the first network and the second network have four antenna ports. When the antenna corresponding to the TRX antenna port in the first network is switched from ANT3 to ANT4, we can query the configuration table. For example, the configuration table to be queried includes two configuration tables as shown in Table 1 and Table 2.

[0110] Table 1 Configuration Table 1

[0111]

[0112] Table 2 Configuration Table 2

[0113]

[0114] Wherein, B1 represents the LTE network, N41 represents the NR network, B1-ant is the antenna corresponding to the antenna interface in the LTE network, N41-ant is the antenna corresponding to the antenna interface in the NR network, DRX (Diversity RX) is the diversity reception antenna port, PRXMIMO (Promary RX Multi In Multi On) ​​is the multi-input multi-output main reception antenna port, and DRXMIMO (Diversity RX Multi In Multi On) ​​is the multi-input multi-output diversity reception antenna port.

[0115] Understandably, before configuration, no antenna switching occurs, and the network is in the initial state config-0. At this time, the antennas corresponding to each antenna port in the network are as shown in Configuration Table 1. Therefore, when the antenna configuration switching state of the TRX antenna port in the NR network changes from ANT3 to ANT4, the NR network state changes from config-0 to config-1, and the configuration table shown in Table 2 applies. By consulting the configuration table shown in Table 2, it can be determined that the antenna configured for the DRX antenna interface in the NR network should be switched from ANT4 to ANT3, the antenna configured for the PRXMIMO antenna interface should remain unchanged at ANT1, and the antenna configured for the DRXMIMO antenna interface should remain unchanged at ANT2. Accordingly, based on the configuration table shown in Table 2, the antennas corresponding to each antenna port in the LTE network can also be determined.

[0116] It should be noted that, to prevent conflicts, the antennas corresponding to the TRX antenna ports in the first network should be consistent with the antennas corresponding to the PRXMIMO antenna ports in the second network; the antennas corresponding to the DRX antenna ports in the first network should be consistent with the antennas corresponding to the DRXMIMO antenna ports in the second network; the antennas corresponding to the PRXMIMO antenna ports in the first network should be consistent with the antennas corresponding to the TRX antenna ports in the second network; and the antennas corresponding to the DRXMIMO antenna ports in the first network should be consistent with the antennas corresponding to the DRX antenna ports in the second network. Therefore, if the corresponding configuration table is not found, the antennas corresponding to each antenna port in the second network can be determined based on the antennas configured on each antenna port in the first network.

[0117] For example, assuming that the antenna configured for the TRX antenna interface in the first network is ANT1, the antenna corresponding to the DRX antenna interface is ANT4, the antenna corresponding to the PRXMIMO antenna interface is ANT3, and the antenna corresponding to the DRXMIMO antenna interface is ANT2, it can be determined that the antenna configured for the TRX antenna interface in the second network is ANT3, the antenna corresponding to the DRX antenna interface is ANT2, the antenna corresponding to the PRXMIMO antenna interface is ANT1, and the antenna corresponding to the DRXMIMO antenna interface is ANT4.

[0118] In this embodiment, by acquiring the signal quality of multiple antennas, at least one antenna port in the first network is configured based on the signal quality of these multiple antennas. Furthermore, based on the antenna sharing relationship between the antenna ports of the first and second networks, at least one antenna port in the second network is configured. Therefore, even when antenna sharing exists between the antenna ports of the first and second networks, multi-antenna switching can be achieved by configuring antennas corresponding to at least one antenna port in the first and second networks, while simultaneously avoiding antenna conflicts between different networks caused by multi-antenna switching, thus improving signal reception and transmission performance.

[0119] To make it clear Figure 2 In the illustrated embodiment, step 207 involves querying the corresponding configuration table based on the antenna configuration switching status of the TRX antenna port in the first network to determine the antenna configuration of each receiving antenna port in the first network. This embodiment provides... Figure 3 The flowchart shown illustrates the process of determining the antenna configuration for each receiving antenna port in the first network. Figure 3 As shown, determining the antenna configuration of each receiving antenna port in the first network based on the antenna configuration switching status of the TRX antenna port in the first network may include the following steps:

[0120] Step 301: Based on the antenna configuration switching status of the TRX antenna port in the first network, query the corresponding multiple configuration tables.

[0121] The configuration table is established based on the antenna sharing relationship between the antenna ports of the first network and the antenna ports of the second network. It is used to indicate the antennas corresponding to each antenna port of the first network and the antennas corresponding to the antenna ports in the second network that have a sharing relationship.

[0122] In this embodiment, multiple configuration tables matching the antenna configuration switching status of the TRX antenna ports in the first network can be retrieved based on the antenna configuration switching status of the TRX antenna ports in the first network. As one possible implementation, the first network and the second network use four-antenna switching to configure the antennas corresponding to each antenna port in the network, thereby allowing the design of multiple configuration tables as shown in the following tables. It should be noted that explanations of the parameters in the following tables can be found in the description in step 208, and will not be repeated here.

[0123] In the table, when configuring the antennas corresponding to each antenna port in the LTE / NR network, to prevent conflicts, the antenna corresponding to the TRX antenna port in the LTE network should be consistent with the antenna corresponding to the PRXMIMO antenna port in the NR network; the antenna corresponding to the DRX antenna port in the LTE network should be consistent with the antenna corresponding to the DRXMIMO antenna port in the NR network; the antenna corresponding to the PRXMIMO antenna port in the LTE network should be consistent with the antenna corresponding to the TRX antenna port in the NR network; and the antenna corresponding to the DRXMIMO antenna port in the LTE network should be consistent with the antenna corresponding to the DRX antenna port in the NR network.

[0124] To clearly illustrate the configuration content of the configuration table, the following are some possible configuration tables:

[0157]

[0158] In configuration table 10, the first network is the LTE network. In the LTE network, the antenna configuration of the TRX antenna port is switched to ANT4, meaning the LTE network state is config-3. Since the antenna corresponding to the TRX antenna port in the LTE network is ANT4, the antenna corresponding to the DRX antenna port in the NR network switches from the initial state of ANT4 to ANT1. To prevent conflicts, the PRXMIMO antenna ports in the NR network and the DRXMIMO antenna ports in the LTE network also need to be switched accordingly, following the TRX antenna ports in the LTE network and the DRX antenna ports in the NR network.

[0159] Table 11 Configuration Table 11

[0160]

[0161] Configuration Table 11 can be compared with both Configuration Table 3 and Configuration Table 10. When comparing Configuration Table 11 with Configuration Table 3, Configuration Table 11 corresponds to the LTE network as the first network. In the LTE network, the antenna configuration switching state of the TRX antenna port changes from ANT3 in Configuration Table 3 to ANT4, i.e., the LTE network state is config-3. Since the antenna corresponding to the TRX antenna port in the LTE network is ANT4, the antenna corresponding to the DRX antenna port in the NR network changes from ANT4 in Configuration Table 3 to ANT3. To prevent conflicts, the PRXMIMO antenna ports in the NR network and the PRXMIMO antenna ports in the LTE network must also switch accordingly, following the TRX antenna ports in the LTE network and the TRX antenna ports in the NR network.

[0162] When configuration table 11 is compared with configuration table 10, configuration table 11 corresponds to the NR network as the first network. In the NR network, the antenna configuration switching state of the TRX antenna port changes from ANT3 in configuration table 10 to ANT1, meaning the NR network state is config-2. Since the antenna corresponding to the TRX antenna port in the NR network is ANT1, the antenna corresponding to the DRX antenna port in the NR network also changes from ANT1 in configuration table 10 to ANT3. To prevent conflicts, the PRXMIMO antenna ports and DRXMIMO antenna ports in the LTE network also need to follow the corresponding switching of the TRX and DRX antenna ports in the NR network.

[0163] Table 12 Configuration Table 12

[0164]

[0165] Configuration Table 12 can be compared with both Configuration Table 4 and Configuration Table 10. When Configuration Table 11 is compared with Configuration Table 4, Configuration Table 11 corresponds to the LTE network as the first network. In the LTE network, the antenna configuration switching state of the TRX antenna port changes from ANT1 in Configuration Table 4 to ANT4, i.e., the LTE network state is config-3. Since the antenna corresponding to the TRX antenna port in the LTE network is ANT4, the antenna corresponding to the DRX antenna port in the NR network changes from ANT4 in Configuration Table 4 to ANT1. To prevent conflicts, the PRXMIMO antenna ports in the NR network and the DRXMIMO antenna ports in the LTE network must also switch accordingly, following the TRX antenna ports in the LTE network and the DRX antenna ports in the NR network.

[0166] When configuration table 11 is compared with configuration table 10, configuration table 11 corresponds to the NR network as the first network. In the NR network, the antenna configuration switching state of the TRX antenna port changes from ANT3 in configuration table 10 to ANT2, meaning the NR network state is config-3. Since the antenna corresponding to the TRX antenna port in the NR network is ANT2, the antenna corresponding to the DRX antenna port in the LTE network also changes from ANT2 in configuration table 10 to ANT3. To prevent conflicts, the PRXMIMO antenna ports in the LTE network and the DRXMIMO antenna ports in the NR network must also undergo corresponding switching, following the TRX antenna ports in the NR network and the DRX antenna ports in the LTE network.

[0167] By querying the aforementioned tables based on the antenna configuration switching status of the TRX antenna ports in the first network, multiple configuration tables matching the antenna configuration switching status of the TRX antenna ports in the first network can be obtained. For example, assuming the antenna configuration switching status of the TRX antenna ports in the first network is switching from the initial state ANT3 to ANT4, by querying the aforementioned tables, configuration tables 2, 6, and 9 matching the antenna configuration switching status of the TRX antenna ports in the first network can be obtained.

[0168] Step 302: From multiple configuration tables, query the target configuration table that matches the antenna configuration switching status of the TRX antenna port in the second network.

[0169] In this embodiment, by querying multiple configuration tables that match the antenna configuration switching status of the TRX antenna port in the first network, a target configuration table that matches the antenna configuration switching status of the TRX antenna port in the second network can be found from the multiple configuration tables based on the antenna configuration switching status of the TRX antenna port in the second network.

[0170] It should be noted that the antenna configuration switching state of the TRX antenna port in the second network is determined based on the antenna configuration switching state of the TRX antenna port in the first network. Specifically, to prevent conflicts, the antenna corresponding to the PRXMIMO antenna port in the first network should be consistent with the antenna corresponding to the TRX antenna port in the second network. Thus, when the antenna configuration switching state of the TRX antenna port in the first network does not involve the antenna corresponding to the PRXMIMO antenna port in the first network, the antenna of the TRX antenna port in the second network remains unchanged. When the antenna configuration of the TRX antenna port in the first network switches to the antenna corresponding to the PRXMIMO antenna port in the first network, the antenna configuration of the TRX antenna port in the second network switches to the antenna corresponding to the TRX antenna port in the first network when it was in its initial state.

[0171] For example, suppose the configuration tables that match the antenna configuration switching state of the TRX antenna port in the first network are configuration table 2, configuration table 6 and configuration table 9. The antenna configuration switching state of the TRX antenna port in the second network is switching from the initial state ANT1 to ANT2. Therefore, configuration table 6 that matches the antenna configuration switching state of the TRX antenna port in the second network can be found from configuration table 2, configuration table 6 and configuration table 9. Thus, configuration table 6 is the target configuration table.

[0172] Step 303: Determine the antennas configured for each receiving antenna port in the first network according to the target configuration table.

[0173] In this embodiment, the antennas to be configured for each receiving antenna port in the first network can be determined based on the target configuration table obtained in step 302. For example, assuming the target configuration table is configuration table 6 and the first network is an NR network, the antennas to be configured for the DRX receiving antenna port in the first network can be determined as ANT3, the antennas to be configured for the PRXMIMO receiving antenna port can be determined as ANT2, and the antennas to be configured for the DRXMIMO receiving antenna port can be determined as ANT1.

[0174] In summary, by querying multiple configuration tables based on the antenna configuration switching status of the TRX antenna ports in the first network, a target configuration table matching the antenna configuration switching status of the TRX antenna ports in the second network can be retrieved from these tables. This target configuration table then determines the antennas configured for each receiving antenna port in the first network. Therefore, based on the antenna sharing relationships between the antenna ports of the first and second networks, multiple configuration tables corresponding to the antenna configuration switching status can be designed, indicating the antennas corresponding to each antenna port in the first network and the antennas corresponding to shared antenna ports in the second network. This allows for querying the corresponding configuration tables based on the antenna configuration switching status of the TRX antenna ports in both the first and second networks to determine the antennas that should be configured for the remaining receiving antenna ports in the first network.

[0175] To illustrate the above embodiments more clearly, examples are given below. Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram illustrating an antenna configuration process in a given scenario according to an embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that this embodiment is also applied to an LTE-NR dual-connectivity scenario; therefore, the network in this embodiment is an LTE / NR network. This embodiment uses four-antenna switching to configure the antennas corresponding to each antenna port in the NR / LTE network, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the antenna configuration process may include the following steps:

[0176] Step 401: The antennas corresponding to each antenna port in the LTE / NR network are in their initial state.

[0177] In this embodiment, each antenna port in the LTE / NR network has its corresponding antenna before configuration, and is in an initial state. At this time, the LTE / NR network includes TRX antenna ports, DRX antenna ports, PRXMIMO antenna ports, and DRXMIMO antenna ports. Before configuration in the LTE network, the antenna corresponding to the TRX antenna port is ANT2, the antenna corresponding to the DRX antenna port is ANT1, the antenna corresponding to the PRXMIMO antenna port is ANT3, and the antenna corresponding to the DRXMIMO antenna port is ANT4. Before configuration in the NR network, the antenna corresponding to the TRX antenna port is ANT3, the antenna corresponding to the DRX antenna port is ANT4, the antenna corresponding to the PRXMIMO antenna port is ANT2, and the antenna corresponding to the DRXMIMO antenna port is ANT1.

[0178] Step 402: Determine whether the reference signal received power (RSRP) of the LTE network is less than -105 dBm.

[0179] Here, the first network can be determined by whether the Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) of the LTE network is less than -105 dBm. Optionally, if the RSRP of the LTE network is less than -105 dBm, the LTE network is designated as the first network; if the RSRP of the LTE network is not less than -105 dBm, i.e., greater than or equal to -105 dBm, the NR network is designated as the first network.

[0180] Step 403: Configure the antenna corresponding to the first network TRX antenna port based on the signal quality of multiple antennas.

[0181] Optionally, multiple antennas can be sorted from high to low signal quality, thereby configuring the target antenna with the best signal quality to the TRX antenna port in the first network, realizing the antenna configuration switching of the TRX antenna port in the first network, and obtaining the antenna configuration switching status of the TRX antenna port in the first network.

[0182] Step 404: Determine whether the corresponding configuration table can be found based on the antenna configuration switching status of the TRX antenna port in the first network.

[0183] If the corresponding configuration table can be found based on the antenna configuration switching status of the TRX antenna port in the first network, then the antennas corresponding to each receiving antenna port in the first network and the antennas corresponding to each antenna port in the second network can be configured according to the configuration table to achieve multi-antenna switching.

[0184] If the corresponding configuration table cannot be found based on the antenna configuration switching status of the TRX antenna port in the first network, the antennas that should be configured for the other receiving antenna ports in the first network, as well as the antennas corresponding to each antenna port in the second network, can be determined based on the initial status of each antenna port in the first network and the antenna configuration switching status of the TRX antenna port in the first network.

[0185] For example, if the first network is an NR network, the antenna configuration of the TRX antenna port in the NR network is switched to ANT4. Thus, based on the initial state of each antenna port in the NR network, it can be determined that the antenna configuration of the DRX antenna interface in the NR network should be switched to ANT3, the antenna corresponding to the PRXMIMO antenna port is still ANT2, and the antenna corresponding to the DRXMIMO antenna port is still ANT1.

[0186] It should be noted that, to prevent conflicts, the antenna corresponding to the TRX antenna port in the first network should be consistent with the antenna corresponding to the PRXMIMO antenna port in the second network; the antenna corresponding to the DRX antenna port in the first network should be consistent with the antenna corresponding to the DRXMIMO antenna port in the second network; the antenna corresponding to the PRXMIMO antenna port in the first network should be consistent with the antenna corresponding to the TRX antenna port in the second network; and the antenna corresponding to the DRXMIMO antenna port in the first network should be consistent with the antenna corresponding to the DRX antenna port in the second network. Therefore, the antenna corresponding to each antenna port in the LTE network can be determined based on the antennas configured for each antenna port in the NR network. In this case, the antenna configured for the TRX antenna interface in the LTE network is ANT2, the antenna corresponding to the DRX antenna interface is ANT1, the antenna corresponding to the PRXMIMO antenna interface is ANT4, and the antenna corresponding to the DRXMIMO antenna interface is ANT3.

[0187] In summary, each antenna port in an LTE / NR network has its corresponding antenna before configuration, and is in an initial state. After determining whether the Reference Received Power (RSRP) of the LTE network is less than -105dBm and identifying the first network, the antenna corresponding to the TRX antenna port in the first network is configured based on the signal quality of multiple antennas. This enables antenna configuration switching of the TRX antenna ports in the first network. It then determines whether the corresponding configuration table can be retrieved based on the antenna configuration switching status of the TRX antenna ports in the first network. Based on different situations, the antennas corresponding to each antenna port in the first and second networks are configured accordingly. This allows for multi-antenna switching while avoiding antenna conflicts between different networks caused by multi-antenna switching, thus improving signal reception and transmission performance.

[0188] To implement the above embodiments, the present invention also proposes an antenna configuration device.

[0189] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of an antenna configuration device provided in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0190] like Figure 5 As shown, the antenna configuration device includes: an acquisition module 51, a first configuration module 52, and a second configuration module 53.

[0191] The acquisition module 51 is used to acquire the signal quality of multiple antennas;

[0192] The first configuration module 52 is used to configure the antenna corresponding to at least one antenna port in the first network according to the signal quality of the plurality of antennas;

[0193] The second configuration module 53 is used to configure the antenna corresponding to at least one antenna port in the second network according to the antenna sharing relationship between the antenna ports of the first network and the antenna ports of the second network.

[0194] Furthermore, in one possible implementation of this embodiment of the invention, the first configuration module 52 is specifically used for:

[0195] From the plurality of antennas, determine the target antenna with the best signal quality;

[0196] Configure the target antenna to the transmit and master TRX antenna ports in the first network.

[0197] It should be noted that the foregoing explanation of the antenna configuration method embodiment also applies to the antenna configuration device of this embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

[0198] Based on the above embodiments, this invention also provides a possible implementation of an antenna configuration device. Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of another antenna configuration device provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Based on the previous embodiment, the antenna configuration device further includes a query module 54.

[0199] The query module 54 is used to query the corresponding configuration table based on the antenna configuration switching status of the TRX antenna port in the first network, so as to determine the antenna configured for each receiving antenna port in the first network.

[0200] Furthermore, in one possible implementation of this invention, the configuration table corresponding to the antenna configuration switching state is multiple, and the query module 54 is specifically used for:

[0201] Based on the antenna configuration switching status of the TRX antenna port in the first network, query the corresponding multiple configuration tables;

[0202] From the plurality of configuration tables, query the target configuration table that matches the antenna configuration switching status of the TRX antenna port in the second network;

[0203] The antennas configured for each receiving antenna port in the first network are determined according to the target configuration table.

[0204] Furthermore, in one possible implementation of this invention, the second configuration module 53 is specifically used for:

[0205] Based on the configuration table corresponding to the antenna configuration switching status of the TRX antenna port in the first network, determine the antenna corresponding to each antenna port in the second network;

[0206] The configuration table is established based on the antenna sharing relationship between the antenna ports of the first network and the antenna ports of the second network. It is used to indicate the antennas corresponding to each antenna port of the first network and the antennas corresponding to the antenna ports in the second network that have a sharing relationship.

[0207] Based on the above embodiments, this invention also provides another possible implementation of the antenna configuration device. Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of another antenna configuration device provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Based on the previous embodiment, the antenna configuration device further includes: a determination module 55 and a processing module 56.

[0208] The determination module 55 is used to determine the reference signal received power of the LTE network in response to the antenna diversity switching AsDiV trigger condition being met.

[0209] The processing module 56 is configured to, when the reference signal received power of the LTE network is less than a threshold, use the LTE network as the first network; and when the reference signal received power of the LTE network is greater than or equal to the threshold, use the NR network as the first network.

[0210] In this embodiment of the invention, by acquiring the signal quality of multiple antennas, an antenna corresponding to at least one antenna port in the first network is configured based on the signal quality of the multiple antennas. Furthermore, based on the antenna sharing relationship between the antenna ports of the first network and the antenna ports of the second network, an antenna corresponding to at least one antenna port in the second network is configured. Therefore, even when antenna sharing exists between the antenna ports of the first and second networks, multi-antenna switching can be achieved by configuring antennas corresponding to at least one antenna port in the first network and at least one antenna port in the second network. This simultaneously avoids antenna conflicts between different networks caused by multi-antenna switching, thereby improving signal reception and transmission performance.
