Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a switching control method, apparatus, electronic device, and storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of communication technology, in order to solve the problem of "death grip" that users often encounter when using electronic devices for communication, antenna switching (such as AsDiV (Antenna Switching Diversity)) technology has been proposed. "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 palm when a user holds the frame or back cover of the electronic device.

[0003] In 4G (4th Generation Mobile Communication Technology), AsDiV (Antenna Switching Diversity) technology is already mature. However, in 5G (5th Generation Mobile Communication Technology), especially in EN-DC (E-UTRA-NR Dual Connection) technology of FDD (Frequency Division Duplexing) and TDD (Time Division Dual), during the AsDiV process of LTE (long Term Evolution) and NR (New Radio), MIMO (multiple input multiple output) of LTE FDD will interfere with antenna switching in NR TDD, affecting antenna performance. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This disclosure aims to at least partially address one of the technical problems in the aforementioned technologies.

[0005] Therefore, the first objective of this disclosure is to propose a switching control method to dynamically adjust the switching of multiple antenna receiving ports of the LTE network and the antenna ports of the NR network in different scenarios, so as to ensure that the MIMO of LTE FDD does not interfere with the antenna switching of NR TDD, thus ensuring that antenna performance is not affected.

[0006] The second objective of this disclosure is to provide a switching control device.

[0007] The third objective of this disclosure is to propose an electronic device.

[0008] The fourth object of this disclosure is to provide a computer-readable storage medium storing computer instructions.

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

[0010] To achieve the above objectives, a first aspect of this disclosure provides a handover control method, comprising: in response to reaching an antenna diversity handover triggering condition, acquiring a reference signal received power of an LTE network; if the reference signal received power of the LTE network is less than a threshold, enabling multiple antenna receiving ports of the LTE network and disabling antenna switching of antenna ports of an NR network; if the reference signal received power of the LTE network is greater than or equal to the threshold, enabling antenna switching of antenna ports of the NR network and disabling MIMO receiving ports among the multiple antenna receiving ports of the LTE network.

[0011] Optionally, enabling antenna port switching of the NR network and disabling the MIMO receiving port among the plurality of antenna receiving ports of the LTE network when the reference signal received power of the LTE network is greater than or equal to the threshold includes: enabling antenna port switching of the NR network when the reference signal received power of the LTE network is greater than or equal to the threshold, and disabling the MIMO receiving port among the plurality of antenna receiving ports of the LTE network according to whether the antenna diversity switching strategy triggers antenna port switching of the NR network.

[0012] Optionally, the step of disabling the MIMO receive port among the plurality of antenna receive ports of the LTE network by switching the antenna corresponding to the antenna port of the NR network according to whether the antenna diversity switching strategy triggers the switching of the antenna of the NR network, includes: disabling the MIMO receive port among the plurality of antenna receive ports of the LTE network in response to the antenna diversity switching strategy triggering the switching of the antenna corresponding to the antenna port of the NR network.

[0013] Optionally, the method further includes: when the reference signal received power of the LTE network is greater than or equal to the threshold, in response to the antenna diversity switching strategy not triggering the switching of the antenna corresponding to the antenna port of the NR network, maintaining the enabled state of the plurality of antenna receiving ports of the LTE network.

[0014] Optionally, the MIMO receive port includes a PRM port and a DRM port.

[0015] The handover control method of this disclosure, in response to the achievement of the antenna diversity handover trigger condition, obtains the reference signal received power of the LTE network. When the reference signal received power of the LTE network is less than a threshold, it enables multiple antenna receiving ports of the LTE network and prohibits antenna switching of the antenna ports of the NR network. When the reference signal received power of the LTE network is greater than or equal to the threshold, it enables antenna switching of the antenna ports of the NR network and disables the MIMO receiving port among the multiple antenna receiving ports of the LTE network. Thus, in the weak field state of the LTE network, LTE antenna switching is prioritized so that LTE performance is not affected, thereby ensuring normal registration of anchor cells in the network. At the same time, in the strong field state of the LTE network, NR antenna switching is prioritized so that NR performance is not affected, thereby ensuring that the data throughput in the network reaches the optimal level.

[0016] To achieve the above objectives, a second aspect of this disclosure provides a handover control device, comprising: an acquisition module, configured to acquire a reference signal received power of an LTE network in response to an antenna diversity handover triggering condition; a first processing module, configured to enable multiple antenna receiving ports of the LTE network and disable antenna switching of an NR network antenna port when the reference signal received power of the LTE network is less than a threshold; and a second processing module, configured to enable antenna switching of an NR network antenna port and disable a MIMO receiving port among the multiple antenna receiving ports of the LTE network when the reference signal received power of the LTE network is greater than or equal to the threshold.

[0017] To achieve the above objectives, a third aspect of this disclosure provides an electronic device, comprising: at least one processor; and a memory communicatively connected to the at least one processor; wherein the memory stores instructions executable by the at least one processor, the instructions being executed by the at least one processor to enable the at least one processor to perform the method described in the first aspect of this disclosure.

[0018] To achieve the above objectives, a fourth aspect of this disclosure provides a computer-readable storage medium storing computer instructions for causing a computer to perform the method described in the first aspect of this disclosure.

[0019] To achieve the above objectives, a fifth aspect of this disclosure provides a computer program product including computer instructions having a computer program stored thereon, wherein the computer instructions, when executed by a processor, implement the method described in the first aspect above.

[0020] Additional aspects and advantages of this disclosure will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of this disclosure. Attached Figure Description

[0029] Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an electronic device provided according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Detailed Implementation

[0030] Embodiments of this disclosure 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 this disclosure, and should not be construed as limiting this disclosure.

[0031] It's important to understand that AsDiV can switch antennas in two ways. One way is to switch inside the modem transceiver, which ensures that the path on each antenna is calibrated, resulting in a more accurate signal. The other way is to switch via a switch near the antenna. This method offers the advantage of flexible configuration, but the disadvantage is that only one antenna path is calibrated, while the paths on the other antennas require manual compensation, leading to larger accuracy errors.

[0032] Taking LTE-NR dual connectivity with FDD and TDD as an example, in FDD, both the transmit (Tx) and receive (Rx) ports are switched simultaneously at the antenna switching switch near the antenna end. In TDD, only the Tx port is switched at the antenna switching switch near the antenna end, while the Rx port is switched internally within the receiver. For example, ... Figure 1 As shown, in TDD, NR's Tx is switched in a switch near the antenna, while Rx is switched inside the receiver.

[0033] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, when the antenna of LTE-NR dual connectivity is in config0 pass-through state (the antenna diversity switching policy has not triggered the switching of the antenna port corresponding to the NR network), NR PRX (Primary RX, primary reception), DRX (Diversity RX, diversity reception) and LTE PRM (Promary RX MIMO, primary MIMO reception) and DRM (Diversity RX MIMO, diversity MIMO reception) do not interfere with each other; for example Figure 3 As shown, when the antenna of LTE-NR dual connectivity is in the config1 state (the antenna diversity switching strategy triggers the switching of the antenna port corresponding to the NR network), since NR switches inside the receiver, AsDiV only switches Tx, the NR DRX is always in the pass-through state, and XSW is in the 2-in-1-out state (e.g., the NR TRX and DRX share the same antenna). NR will be interfered with in this state, which can result in a loss of 2-3 dBm.

[0034] In related technologies, methods such as disabling MIMO in LTE FDD or disabling antenna switching in NR TDD are used to avoid interference caused by LTE FDD MIMO on NR TDD antenna switching. However, choosing one of these two methods—LTE FDD MIMO or NR TDD antenna switching—may affect either LTE performance or NR performance.

[0035] Therefore, in view of the above problems, this disclosure proposes a switching control method, apparatus, electronic device and storage medium.

[0036] The following description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, describes a switching control method, apparatus, electronic device, and storage medium according to embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0037] Figure 4 This is a flowchart illustrating a switching control method provided according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0038] like Figure 4 As shown, the switching control method includes the following steps:

[0039] Step 401: In response to the antenna diversity switching trigger condition being met, obtain the reference signal received power of the LTE network.

[0040] In this embodiment of the disclosure, when the LTE / NR network periodically monitors the signal quality of multiple antennas and the percentage of the maximum transmit power (MTPL) of the current antenna, 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 maximum transmit power (MTPL) of the current antenna reaches the set maximum transmit power (MTPL) percentage value, 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 the percentage of the maximum transmit power (MTPL) of the current antenna reaches the set maximum transmit power (MTPL) percentage value.

[0041] In this embodiment of the disclosure, 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 the reference signal received power (RSRP) of the current LTE network can be compared with a threshold to determine the comparison result of the reference signal received power (RSRP) of the current LTE network with the threshold.

[0042] Step 402: When the reference signal reception power of the LTE network is less than a threshold, enable multiple antenna receiving ports of the LTE network and disable antenna switching of the antenna ports of the NR network.

[0043] As one possible implementation, the threshold can be set to -105 dBm (decibel relative to one milliwatt).

[0044] Optionally, when the reference signal received power (RSRP) of the LTE network is less than the threshold, i.e. less than -105dBm, the LTE network is considered to be in a weak field state. In order to ensure the normal registration of anchor cells in the network, multiple antenna receiving ports of the LTE network are enabled. For example, multiple antennas with better signal quality can be configured to the antennas corresponding to each antenna port in the LTE network. That is, the LTE network can be used as the first network, and correspondingly, the NR network can be used as the second network, and the antenna port switching of the NR network is prohibited.

[0045] It should be noted that "first network" and "second network" here only represent network priority and should not be interpreted as indicating or implying relative importance. The first network has a higher priority than the second network.

[0046] Step 403: When the reference signal received power of the LTE network is greater than or equal to the threshold, enable the antenna switching of the antenna port of the NR network and disable the MIMO receive port among the multiple antenna receive ports of the LTE network.

[0047] 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, which means the LTE network is 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 can be configured to switch antennas on the antenna ports of the NR network. In other words, the NR network can be used as the first network, and correspondingly, the LTE network can be used as the second network. The MIMO receiving ports among the multiple antenna receiving ports of the LTE network can be disabled. The MIMO receiving ports may include PRM ports and DRM ports.

[0048] In summary, in response to the antenna diversity switching trigger condition being met, the reference signal received power of the LTE network is obtained. When the reference signal received power of the LTE network is less than a threshold, multiple antenna receiving ports of the LTE network are enabled, and antenna switching of the antenna ports of the NR network is prohibited. When the reference signal received power of the LTE network is greater than or equal to the threshold, antenna switching of the antenna ports of the NR network is enabled, and MIMO receiving ports among the multiple antenna receiving ports of the LTE network are disabled. Thus, by dynamically adjusting the enabling of multiple antenna receiving ports of the LTE network and the enabling of antenna switching of the antenna ports of the NR network in different scenarios, the MIMO of LTE FDD can be prevented from interfering with antenna switching of NR TDD, thereby ensuring that antenna performance is not affected.

[0049] To clearly illustrate how to enable antenna switching at the antenna port of an NR network and disable the MIMO receiver port among multiple antenna receiver ports of an LTE network when the reference signal received power of the LTE network is greater than or equal to a threshold, this disclosure proposes another switching control method. Figure 5 This is a flowchart illustrating a switching control method provided according to another embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0050] like Figure 5 As shown, the switching control method may include the following steps:

[0051] Step 501: In response to the antenna diversity switching trigger condition being met, obtain the reference signal received power of the LTE network.

[0052] Step 502: When the reference signal reception power of the LTE network is less than a threshold, enable multiple antenna receiving ports of the LTE network and disable antenna switching of the antenna ports of the NR network.

[0053] Step 503: When the reference signal received power of the LTE network is greater than or equal to the threshold, enable the antenna port switching of the NR network, and disable the MIMO receive port among the multiple antenna receive ports of the LTE network according to whether the antenna diversity switching strategy triggers the antenna port switching of the NR network.

[0054] As an example, when the reference signal received power of the LTE network is greater than or equal to a threshold, the antenna port switching of the NR network is enabled, and the antenna corresponding to the antenna port of the NR network is switched in response to the antenna diversity switching strategy, while the MIMO receive port among the multiple antenna receive ports of the LTE network is disabled.

[0055] In other words, when the reference signal received power (RSRP) of the LTE network is greater than or equal to the threshold, i.e., greater than or equal to -105dBm, the LTE network is in a strong field state. In order to ensure that the data throughput in the network reaches the optimal level, the antenna port switching of the NR network can be enabled. Furthermore, when the antenna diversity switching strategy triggers the switching of the antenna corresponding to the antenna port of the NR network, the MIMO receiving ports (such as PRM ports and DRM ports) among the multiple antenna receiving ports of the LTE network can be disabled.

[0056] As another example, when the reference signal received power of the LTE network is greater than or equal to a threshold, in response to the antenna diversity switching strategy not triggering the switching of the antenna corresponding to the antenna port of the NR network, the enabled state of multiple antenna receive ports of the LTE network is maintained.

[0057] In other words, when the reference signal received power (RSRP) of the LTE network is greater than or equal to the threshold (i.e., greater than or equal to -105dBm), and when the antenna diversity switching strategy does not trigger the switching of the antenna corresponding to the antenna port of the NR network, that is, when the LTE network is in a strong field state, in order to ensure that the throughput of data in the network reaches the optimal level, the enabled state of multiple antenna receiving ports of the LTE network can be maintained.

[0058] It should be noted that the execution process of steps 501 to 502 can be implemented in any of the embodiments of this disclosure. This disclosure does not limit this and will not elaborate further.

[0059] In summary, when the reference signal received power of the LTE network is greater than or equal to the threshold, enabling antenna switching at the antenna port of the NR network and disabling the MIMO receiver ports among the multiple antenna receiver ports of the LTE network, based on whether the antenna diversity switching strategy triggers antenna switching at the antenna port of the NR network, ensures that antenna performance is not affected under strong field conditions.

[0060] To illustrate the above embodiments more clearly, examples are given below.

[0061] For example, such as Figure 6 As shown, taking a mobile phone as an example, when the mobile phone detects that the current LTE RSRP value is less than -105dBm, it is considered that the mobile phone is in a weak field environment. The strategy is to enable the four antenna receiving ports of the LTE network and prohibit the antenna switching of the NR network antenna ports. When the mobile phone detects that the current LTE network RSRP value is greater than or equal to -105dBm, it is considered that the mobile phone is in a strong field environment. The state of the NR network antenna switching is detected. If the state of the NR network antenna switching is config0, that is, the antenna diversity switching strategy has not triggered the switching of the antenna corresponding to the antenna port of the NR network, the four antenna receiving ports of the LTE network are maintained in an enabled state. If the state of the NR network antenna switching is config1, that is, the antenna diversity switching strategy has triggered the switching of the antenna corresponding to the antenna port of the NR network, the four antenna receiving ports of the LTE network are reduced to two antenna receiving ports, that is, the PRM port and DRM port are removed.

[0062] The handover control method of this disclosure, in response to the achievement of the antenna diversity handover trigger condition, obtains the reference signal received power of the LTE network. When the reference signal received power of the LTE network is less than a threshold, it enables multiple antenna receiving ports of the LTE network and prohibits antenna switching of the antenna ports of the NR network. When the reference signal received power of the LTE network is greater than or equal to the threshold, it enables antenna switching of the antenna ports of the NR network and disables the MIMO receiving port among the multiple antenna receiving ports of the LTE network. Thus, by dynamically adjusting the enabling of multiple antenna receiving ports of the LTE network and the enabling of antenna switching of the antenna ports of the NR network in different scenarios, the MIMO of LTE FDD does not interfere with the antenna switching of NR TDD, thereby ensuring that antenna performance is not affected.

[0063] To implement the above embodiments, this disclosure also proposes a switching control device.

[0064] Figure 7This is a schematic diagram of a switching control device provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0065] like Figure 7 As shown, the switching control device 700 includes: an acquisition module 710, a first processing module 720, and a second processing module 730.

[0066] The acquisition module 710 is used to acquire the reference signal received power of the LTE network in response to the antenna diversity switching trigger condition being met; the first processing module 720 is used to enable multiple antenna receiving ports of the LTE network and disable antenna switching of the antenna ports of the NR network when the reference signal received power of the LTE network is less than a threshold; the second processing module 730 is used to enable antenna switching of the antenna ports of the NR network and disable the MIMO receiving port among the multiple antenna receiving ports of the LTE network when the reference signal received power of the LTE network is greater than or equal to the threshold.

[0067] As one possible implementation of this disclosure, the second processing module 730 is configured to: enable antenna switching of the antenna port of the NR network when the reference signal received power of the LTE network is greater than or equal to a threshold, and disable the MIMO receive port among the multiple antenna receive ports of the LTE network according to whether the antenna diversity switching strategy triggers the antenna switching of the NR network.

[0068] As one possible implementation of this disclosure, the second processing module 730 includes a disabling unit.

[0069] The disable unit is used to disable the MIMO receive port among the plurality of antenna receive ports of the LTE network in response to the antenna diversity switching strategy triggering the switching of the antenna corresponding to the antenna port of the NR network.

[0070] As one possible implementation of this disclosure, the second processing module 730 further includes an enabling unit.

[0071] The enabling unit is used to maintain the enabled state of multiple antenna receiving ports of the LTE network when the reference signal receiving power of the LTE network is greater than or equal to a threshold, in response to the antenna diversity switching strategy not triggering the switching of the antenna corresponding to the antenna port of the NR network.

[0072] As one possible implementation of this disclosure, the MIMO receive port includes a PRM port and a DRM port.

[0073] The handover control device of this disclosure, in response to the antenna diversity handover triggering condition, obtains the reference signal received power of the LTE network. When the reference signal received power of the LTE network is less than a threshold, it enables multiple antenna receiving ports of the LTE network and prohibits antenna switching of the antenna ports of the NR network. When the reference signal received power of the LTE network is greater than or equal to the threshold, it enables antenna switching of the antenna ports of the NR network and disables the MIMO receiving port among the multiple antenna receiving ports of the LTE network. Thus, by dynamically adjusting the enabling of multiple antenna receiving ports of the LTE network and the enabling of antenna switching of the antenna ports of the NR network in different scenarios, the MIMO of LTE FDD does not interfere with the antenna switching of NR TDD, thereby ensuring that antenna performance is not affected.
