Since the transmission frequency of satellite communications is close to that of GNSS, when satellite communications and GNSS are working on the terminal at the same time, the carrier energy transmitted by satellite communications will leak into the receiving path of GNSS through space coupling, which can easily damage the GNSS radio frequency receiver. In addition, the transmission signal of satellite communications will interfere with the GNSS receiving signal, affecting the accuracy of positioning information. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments.

[0014] In conjunction with the accompanying drawings, the method and electronic device for obtaining global navigation satellite system information provided by the embodiments of the present application are described in detail through specific embodiments and their application scenarios.

[0015] The electronic device and method for obtaining global navigation satellite system information provided in the embodiments of the present application include, but are not limited to, a terminal device, which may be a device such as a personal computer, or a mobile terminal device such as a mobile phone or a tablet computer, without specific limitation.

[0016] The electronic device has both mobile communication capabilities and satellite communication capabilities. That is, the electronic device includes a satellite communication processor unit for processing satellite communication transmission, and a main processor unit for processing mobile communication and GNSS related processing. The transmission of satellite communication can be completed through a satellite communication power amplifier (PA), a satellite communication filter, and a satellite communication TX transmission antenna.

[0017] In addition, the electronic device also includes a GNSS radio frequency receiver for obtaining GNSS information through components such as a GNSS RX receiving antenna, a filter, and a low noise amplifier (Low Noise Amplifier, LNA).

[0018] Figure 1 The structure diagram of an electronic device for obtaining global navigation satellite system information provided by an embodiment of the present application is shown. Figure 1 As shown, the electronic device includes: The satellite communication processor unit 101 is used to determine whether the satellite communication is in a transmitting state; if it is determined that the satellite communication is in a transmitting state, set the global navigation satellite system GNSS radio frequency receiver to a low power consumption or non-working state, and notify the main processor unit that the satellite communication is in a transmitting state; if it is determined that the satellite communication is in a non-transmitting state, set the GNSS radio frequency receiver to a working state; The main processor unit 102 is configured to stop processing the GNSS information after receiving a notification that the satellite communication is in a transmitting state; The GNSS radio frequency receiver 103 is used to receive GNSS information in a working state.

[0019] In one implementation, the satellite communication processor unit 101 may be used to: When it is determined that the satellite communication is in the transmitting state, a high-level satellite communication PA control signal is generated; the high-level satellite communication PA control signal is sent to the GNSS RF receiver to trigger the GNSS RF receiver to enter a low power consumption or non-working state; the high-level satellite communication PA control signal is sent to the main processor unit to notify the main processor unit that the satellite communication is in the transmitting state.

[0020] In one implementation, the satellite communication processor unit 101 may be used to: When it is determined that the satellite communication is in a non-transmitting state, a low-level satellite communication PA control signal is generated; the low-level satellite communication PA control signal is sent to the GNSS radio frequency receiver to trigger the GNSS radio frequency receiver to enter a working state.

[0021] Figure 2 FIG. 2 shows a schematic diagram of another electronic device structure for obtaining global navigation satellite system information provided by an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2As shown, the main processor unit is connected to the GNSS RF receiver and the satellite communication processor unit respectively. The satellite communication processor unit is connected to the satellite communication PA, and the GNSS RF receiver is connected to the GNSS LNA. When the satellite communication processor unit determines that the satellite communication is in the transmitting state, a high-level satellite communication PA control signal is generated and sent to the satellite communication PA and the GNSS RF receiver respectively. On the one hand, the satellite communication PA can enter the working state and transmit signals through the satellite communication filter and the satellite communication TX antenna. On the other hand, the GNSS RF receiver can be triggered to enter a low power consumption or non-working state, that is, not to receive GNSS information. In addition, the satellite communication processor unit can also send a high-level satellite communication PA control signal to the main processor unit to trigger the main processor unit to stop processing the GNSS information. Through the above process, the isolation of the satellite communication transmission signal and the GNSS reception signal can be achieved, thereby improving reliability and stability.

[0022] In one implementation, the satellite communication processor unit 101 may also be used to generate a satellite communication PA control signal, and the main processor unit 102 may also be used to generate a GNSS LNA control signal. Accordingly, the electronic device may further include: The logic control circuit is used to take the satellite communication PA control signal and the GNSS LNA control signal as input signals, and when the satellite communication PA control signal is at a high level, output a low level signal to the GNSS LNA to trigger the GNSS LNA to enter a non-working state.

[0023] In addition, the above logic control circuit can also be used to: when the satellite communication PA control signal is at a low level, output a corresponding high level or low level signal according to the GNSS LNA control signal to control the GNSS LNA to enter a working state or a non-working state.

[0024] Through the above logic control circuit, when the satellite communication is in the transmitting state, that is, when the satellite communication PA control signal is at a high level, the GNSS LNA can be controlled to enter a non-working state, thereby avoiding the situation where the GNSS LNA is damaged due to the leakage of the carrier energy transmitted by the satellite communication, and improving the reliability of the GNSS receiving path. In addition, the interference of the satellite communication transmission signal to the GNSS receiving signal is reduced, thereby improving the accuracy of the positioning information.

[0025] In the embodiment of the present application, the logic control circuit can be implemented by using a NAND gate circuit. Figure 2As shown, the circuit inside the dotted line represents a logic control circuit, which specifically includes a NOT gate and an AND gate, the input signal of the NOT gate is the satellite communication PA control signal, the input signal of the AND gate is the GNSS LNA control signal 1, and the output signal of the AND gate, that is, the output signal of the logic control circuit, is the GNSS LNA control signal 2. The circuit capable of implementing the NAND gate control may be in various forms, which are not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0026] Figure 3 FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of a logic control circuit provided by an embodiment of the present application. Figure 3 As shown, N-type metal-oxide-semiconductor (NMOS) is used as the logic control circuit, and the satellite communication PA control signal is used to control the conduction and shutdown of NMOS, thereby realizing the signal control in Table 1. When the satellite communication PA control signal is low, the NMOS is turned off, and the corresponding satellite communication is in a non-transmitting state. Whether the output GNSS LNA control signal 2 is high or low is completely determined by the GNSS LNA control signal 1. That is, when the GNSS LNA control signal 1 is high, the GNSS LNA control signal 2 is also high, and when the GNSS LNA control signal 1 is low, the GNSS LNA control signal 2 is also low. When the satellite communication PA control signal is high, the NMOS is turned on, and the corresponding satellite communication is in a transmitting state, and the output GNSS LNA control signal 2 is low. The above logic control circuit can realize the control of the working state of the GNSS LNA. Outputting a low-level signal can trigger the GNSS LNA to enter a non-working state, and outputting a high-level signal can control the GNSS LNA to enter a working state, thereby controlling whether to receive GNSS information.

[0027] In one implementation, the satellite communication processor unit 101 may also be used to notify the main processor unit that the satellite communication is in a non-transmitting state when determining that the satellite communication is in a non-transmitting state. Accordingly, the main processor unit 102 may also be used to: after receiving the notification that the satellite communication is in a non-transmitting state, calculate the distance between the current position and the last stored position according to the GNSS information, and update the stored position information when determining that the position has changed based on the distance and the threshold, and retain the last stored position information when determining that the position has not changed.

[0028] In one implementation manner, after stopping processing the GNSS information, the main processor unit 102 may also be configured to: discard the incomplete frame data if the GNSS information contains incomplete frame data that has not been processed.

[0029] The above-mentioned electronic device provided in the embodiment of the present application determines whether the satellite communication is in the transmitting state. When it is determined that the satellite communication is in the transmitting state, the GNSS radio frequency receiver is set to a low power consumption or non-working state, and the processing of the GNSS information is stopped. When it is determined that the satellite communication is in the non-transmitting state, the GNSS radio frequency receiver is set to the working state to receive the GNSS information, thereby realizing the isolation of satellite communication and GNSS reception, avoiding the damage of the GNSS radio frequency receiver due to the leakage of the carrier energy transmitted by the satellite communication, and ensuring the reliability of the GNSS receiving path; moreover, it also reduces the interference of the satellite communication transmission signal on the GNSS receiving signal, thereby improving the accuracy of the positioning information.

[0030] Figure 4 A method for obtaining global navigation satellite system information provided by an embodiment of the present application is shown, such as Figure 4 As shown, the method includes the following steps.

[0031] S402: Determine whether the satellite communication is in a transmitting state.

[0032] S404: When it is determined that the satellite communication is in a transmitting state, the GNSS radio frequency receiver is set to a low power consumption or non-operating state, and the processing of the GNSS information is stopped.

[0033] Among them, in the low power consumption and non-working state, the GNSS radio frequency receiver will not receive GNSS information, so the interference between the satellite communication transmission signal and the GNSS reception signal can be avoided.

[0034] In the embodiment of the present application, setting the GNSS radio frequency receiver to a low power consumption or non-operating state and stopping processing the GNSS information in the above step S404 may include: The satellite communication processor unit generates a high-level satellite communication power amplifier PA control signal; sends the high-level satellite communication PA control signal to the GNSS RF receiver, triggering the GNSS RF receiver to enter a low power consumption or non-working state; sends the high-level satellite communication PA control signal to the main processor unit, triggering the main processor unit to stop processing GNSS information.

[0035] In the embodiment of the present application, the satellite communication PA control signal is used to control the satellite communication PA, including two states: high level and low level. When the satellite communication PA control signal is at a high level, the satellite communication PA can be enabled, so that the satellite communication PA is in a working state. When the satellite communication PA control signal is at a low level, the satellite communication PA is prohibited from being in a working state, that is, the satellite communication PA is in a non-working state.

[0036] In the above step S404, after determining that the satellite communication is in the transmitting state, the satellite communication processor unit can generate a high-level satellite communication PA control signal. While making the satellite communication PA work, it can also notify the GNSS RF receiver and the main processor unit respectively, thereby triggering the GNSS RF receiver not to receive GNSS information, and triggering the main processor unit to stop processing GNSS information, thereby achieving the purpose of isolating satellite communication and GNSS reception, avoiding interference, and improving reliability.

[0037] In one implementation manner, after the above step S404, the following may also be included: In the case that the GNSS information contains incomplete frame data that has not been processed, the incomplete frame data is discarded.

[0038] S406: When it is determined that the satellite communication is in a non-transmitting state, the GNSS radio frequency receiver is set to a working state to receive GNSS information.

[0039] In the embodiment of the present application, setting the GNSS radio frequency receiver to a working state in the above step S406 to receive GNSS information may include: The satellite communication processor unit generates a low-level satellite communication PA control signal; sends the low-level satellite communication PA control signal to the GNSS radio frequency receiver, triggering the GNSS radio frequency receiver to enter a working state and receive GNSS information.

[0040] In the above step S406, after determining that the satellite communication is in a non-transmitting state, the satellite communication processor unit can generate a low-level satellite communication PA control signal. While prohibiting the satellite communication PA from working, it can also notify the GNSS RF receiver to work, thereby triggering the GNSS RF receiver to receive GNSS information, thereby achieving the purpose of isolating satellite communication and GNSS reception, avoiding interference, and improving reliability.

[0041] In the embodiment of the present application, after the above step S406, the following may also be included: The distance between the current position and the last stored position is calculated based on the GNSS information; based on the distance and the threshold, if it is determined that the position has changed, the stored position information is updated; if it is determined that the position has not changed, the last stored position information is retained.

[0042] In the embodiment of the present application, the above method may further include: When it is determined that the satellite communication is in the transmitting state, a high-level satellite communication PA control signal is generated; a GNSS LNA control signal is generated; the high-level satellite communication PA control signal and the GNSS LNA control signal are input into a logic control circuit, and the logic control circuit outputs a low-level signal to the GNSS LNA, triggering the GNSS LNA to enter a non-working state.

[0043] In one implementation, the logic control circuit may also output a corresponding high level or low level signal according to the GNSS LNA control signal when the satellite communication PA control signal is at a low level, so as to control the GNSS LNA to enter a working state or a non-working state.

[0044] The above method provided in the embodiment of the present application determines whether the satellite communication is in the transmitting state. When it is determined that the satellite communication is in the transmitting state, the GNSS radio frequency receiver is set to a low power consumption or non-working state, and the processing of the GNSS information is stopped. When it is determined that the satellite communication is in the non-transmitting state, the GNSS radio frequency receiver is set to a working state to receive the GNSS information, thereby realizing the isolation of satellite communication and GNSS reception, avoiding the damage of the GNSS radio frequency receiver due to the leakage of carrier energy transmitted by the satellite communication, and ensuring the reliability of the GNSS receiving path; moreover, it also reduces the interference of the satellite communication transmission signal on the GNSS receiving signal, thereby improving the accuracy of the positioning information.

[0045] In addition, through the above-mentioned logic control circuit, when the satellite communication is in the transmitting state, that is, the satellite communication PA control signal is at a high level, the GNSS LNA can be controlled to enter a non-working state, thereby avoiding the situation in which the GNSS LNA is damaged and the normal reception of the GNSS signal is affected due to the leakage of the carrier energy transmitted by the satellite communication, thereby improving the reliability of the GNSS receiving path.

[0046] Figure 5 Another method for obtaining global navigation satellite system information provided by an embodiment of the present application is shown. Figure 5 As shown, the method includes the following steps.

[0047] S502: Determine whether the satellite communication is in a transmitting state. If it is in a transmitting state, execute step S504; if it is in a non-transmitting state, execute step S508.

[0048] S504: Setting the GNSS radio frequency receiver to a low power consumption or non-operating state, and stopping processing of GNSS information.

[0049] Among them, in the low power consumption and non-working state, the GNSS radio frequency receiver will not receive GNSS information, so the interference between the satellite communication transmission signal and the GNSS reception signal can be avoided.

[0050] In one implementation, the above step S504 may include: The satellite communication processor unit generates a high-level satellite communication PA control signal; sends the high-level satellite communication PA control signal to the GNSS RF receiver, triggering the GNSS RF receiver to enter a low power consumption or non-working state; sends the high-level satellite communication PA control signal to the main processor unit, triggering the main processor unit to stop processing GNSS information.

[0051] Combination Figure 2 When the satellite communication processor unit determines that the satellite communication is in the transmitting state, a high-level satellite communication PA control signal is generated and sent to the satellite communication PA and the GNSS RF receiver respectively. On the one hand, the satellite communication PA can enter the working state and transmit the signal through the satellite communication filter and the satellite communication TX antenna. On the other hand, the GNSS RF receiver can be triggered to enter a low power consumption or non-working state, that is, not to receive GNSS information. In addition, the satellite communication processor unit can also send a high-level satellite communication PA control signal to the main processor unit to trigger the main processor unit to stop processing GNSS information. Through the above process, the isolation of the satellite communication transmission signal and the GNSS reception signal can be achieved, thereby improving reliability and stability.

[0052] S506: When there is incomplete frame data that has not been processed in the GNSS information, the incomplete frame data is discarded and the process ends.

[0053] Among them, due to stopping the processing of GNSS information, some data in the GNSS information may be in an unprocessed state, that is, there is incomplete frame data. In this case, the incomplete frame data can be discarded, and the data can be reprocessed when the GNSS information processing is resumed again, which can prevent data processing errors, improve accuracy, and prevent the generation of junk data and waste of resources.

[0054] S508: Setting the GNSS radio frequency receiver to a working state to receive GNSS information.

[0055] In the embodiment of the present application, GNSS information can be used in processes such as positioning, synchronization, and switching. For example, the UE can calculate the relative speed and position relationship between itself and the satellite based on the GNSS information, estimate the Doppler frequency deviation of the service link, and perform uplink frequency deviation pre-compensation to ensure uplink frequency domain synchronization. The UE can also calculate and determine the distance between itself and the satellite or the distance between itself and the reference position of the cell based on the GNSS information and satellite ephemeris information, whether the switching decision conditions based on the position information are met, etc.

[0056] In one implementation, the above step S508 may include: The satellite communication processor unit generates a low-level satellite communication PA control signal; sends the low-level satellite communication PA control signal to the GNSS radio frequency receiver, triggering the GNSS radio frequency receiver to enter a working state and receive GNSS information.

[0057] The satellite communication processor unit may also send the low-level satellite communication PA control signal to the satellite communication PA to control the satellite communication PA to enter a non-working state, that is, the satellite communication does not transmit a signal at this time.

[0058] Combination Figure 2 When the satellite communication processor unit determines that the satellite communication is in a non-transmitting state, it can generate a low-level satellite communication PA control signal and send the low-level satellite communication PA control signal to the GNSS RF receiver, thereby triggering the GNSS RF receiver to enter a working state, and receive GNSS information through the GNSS RX antenna, GNSS filter and GNSS LNA, thereby avoiding interference between the GNSS receiving signal and the satellite communication transmitting signal, and improving the positioning accuracy.

[0059] S510: Calculate the distance between the current position and the last stored position according to the GNSS information.

[0060] The last stored position may be an initial position when the electronic device is powered on, or may be a position stored at any time after the electronic device is powered on, without specific limitation.

[0061] S512: When it is determined based on the distance and the threshold that the location has changed, the stored location information is updated; when it is determined that the location has not changed, the last stored location information is retained, and the process ends.

[0062] In the embodiment of the present application, the above threshold value can be pre-set, such as 20m, 30m, etc., and the specific value is not limited.

[0063] In one implementation, the above step S512 may include: Determine whether the distance between the current position and the last stored position exceeds a preset threshold; if so, determine that the position has changed, and update the last stored position information to the current position; if not, determine that the position has not changed, and keep the last stored position information unchanged.

[0064] For example, the preset distance difference threshold is ΔP, the last stored position is Pi, and the current position acquired in real time is Pj. The main processor unit calculates the distance between the current position Pj and the last stored position Pi, and compares it with the distance difference threshold. If Pj-Pi>ΔP, the main processor unit sends the current position information to the satellite communication processor unit, and updates the last stored position Pi to the current position Pj for storage. If Pj-Pi<ΔP, the main processor unit does not send the current position information to the satellite communication processor unit, and the last stored position Pi is not updated. Among them, the value of the distance difference threshold ΔP can be set as needed, such as 20m, etc., and is not specifically limited.

[0065] In the embodiment of the present application, the manner in which the main processor unit sends the location information to the satellite communication processor unit can ensure that the satellite communication processor unit obtains accurate GNSS positioning information, which helps to improve the accuracy of the positioning results.

[0066] In one implementation, the above method may further include: When it is determined that the satellite communication is in the transmitting state, a high-level satellite communication PA control signal is generated; a GNSS LNA control signal is generated; the high-level satellite communication PA control signal and the GNSS LNA control signal are input into the logic control circuit, and the logic control circuit outputs a low-level signal to the GNSS LNA, triggering the GNSS LNA to enter a non-working state (or a closed state).

[0067] In addition, the above logic control circuit can also output a corresponding high level or low level signal according to the GNSS LNA control signal when the satellite communication PA control signal is at a low level, so as to control the GNSS LNA to enter a working state or a non-working state.

[0068] In the above manner, the GNSS LNA is controlled to be in a closed state by the logic control circuit, so as to protect the GNSS LNA from being damaged by the power coupled by the satellite transmission and affecting the normal reception of the GNSS signal.

[0069] Combination Figure 2The above logic control circuit can be implemented by using a NAND gate circuit, specifically including an AND gate and a NOT gate. The logic control circuit has two input signals and one output signal. The two input signals are a satellite communication PA control signal and a GNSS LNA control signal 1, respectively, and the output signal is a GNSS LNA control signal 2. The control logic that can be implemented by combining a NOT gate and an AND gate is shown in Table 1.

[0070] Table 1

[0071] In Table 1, 0 represents a low level and 1 represents a high level. When the satellite communication PA control signal is at a low level of 0, the corresponding satellite communication is in a non-transmitting state. The signal becomes a high level after being processed by the NOT gate. Therefore, whether the output GNSS LNA control signal 2 is a high level or a low level is completely determined by the GNSS LNA control signal 1. That is, in this scenario, when the GNSS LNA control signal 1 is at a high level of 1, the GNSS LNA control signal 2 obtained after being processed by the AND gate is also a high level of 1. When the GNSS LNA control signal 1 is at a low level of 0, the GNSS LNA control signal 2 obtained after being processed by the AND gate is also a low level of 0. When the satellite communication PA control signal is at a high level of 1, the corresponding satellite communication is in a transmitting state. The signal becomes a low level of 0 after being processed by the NOT gate. Therefore, the output GNSS LNA control signal 2 is a low level of 0, which has nothing to do with the GNSS LNA control signal 1. That is, in this scenario, whether the GNSS LNA control signal 1 is at a high level of 1 or a low level of 0, the output GNSS LNA control signal 2 is a low level of 0. The GNSS LNA control signal 2 output by the above-mentioned processing logic control circuit can realize the control of the working state of the GNSS LNA. The output of a low-level signal can trigger the GNSS LNA to enter a non-working state, and the output of a high-level signal can control the GNSS LNA to enter a working state, thereby controlling whether to receive GNSS information.

[0072] Figure 6 A schematic diagram of a process for obtaining global navigation satellite system information provided by an embodiment of the present application is shown. Figure 6As shown, the electronic device is UE, and the main processor unit is an application processor (AP) as an example. UE turns on satellite communication and GNSS, and AP obtains GNSS information and transmits it to the satellite communication processor unit, and stores the current initial position. The satellite communication processor unit determines whether the satellite communication is in the transmitting state. If the satellite communication is in the transmitting state, the satellite communication PA is enabled by the satellite communication PA control signal being high, the GNSS LNA is forced to be turned off, the GNSS radio frequency receiver enters a low power consumption or non-working state, and the AP stops. If the satellite communication is in the non-transmitting state, the satellite communication PA is prohibited from entering the working state by the satellite communication PA control signal being low, and the GNSS LNA and the GNSS radio frequency receiver are triggered to be in the working state. The AP processes the received GNSS data and calculates whether the current position has changed from the last stored position. If the position has changed, the AP updates the stored position information and sends it to the satellite communication processor unit. If the position has not changed, the AP retains the last stored position information without updating it, and does not send the current position to the satellite communication processor unit.

[0073] The above method provided in the embodiment of the present application determines whether the satellite communication is in the transmitting state. When it is determined that the satellite communication is in the transmitting state, the GNSS radio frequency receiver is set to a low power consumption or non-working state, and the processing of the GNSS information is stopped. When it is determined that the satellite communication is in the non-transmitting state, the GNSS radio frequency receiver is set to a working state to receive the GNSS information, thereby realizing the isolation of satellite communication and GNSS reception, avoiding the damage of the GNSS radio frequency receiver due to the leakage of the carrier energy transmitted by the satellite communication, and ensuring the reliability of the GNSS receiving path; moreover, it also reduces the interference of the satellite communication transmission signal to the GNSS receiving signal, thereby improving the accuracy of the positioning information and effectively preventing the normal use of the satellite communication from being affected. When the GNSS radio frequency receiver is in a low power consumption or non-working state, power consumption can also be saved.

[0074] In addition, through the above-mentioned logic control circuit, when the satellite communication is in the transmitting state, that is, the satellite communication PA control signal is at a high level, the GNSS LNA can be controlled to enter a non-working state, thereby avoiding the situation in which the GNSS LNA is damaged and the normal reception of the GNSS signal is affected due to the leakage of the carrier energy transmitted by the satellite communication, thereby improving the reliability of the GNSS receiving path.
