[0033] The network 130 may be any type of network known to those skilled in the art that may support data communications using any of a variety of available protocols, including, but not limited to, TCP / IP, SNA, IPX, etc. By way of example only, one or more networks 130 may be a satellite communications network, a local area network (LAN), an Ethernet-based network, a token ring, a wide area network (WAN), the Internet, a virtual network, a virtual private network (VPN), an intranet, an extranet, a blockchain network, a public switched telephone network (PSTN), an infrared network, a wireless network (including, for example, Bluetooth, WiFi), and / or any combination of these and other networks.

The control device 113 can be configured to perform a method according to the present disclosure. In addition, the control device 113 can be implemented as an example of a computing device on the motor vehicle side (client) according to the present disclosure.

[0039] Figure 1 The system 100 may be configured and operated in various ways to enable the application of various methods and apparatuses described in the present disclosure.

[0040] Various aspects of a communication method for a vehicle-mounted wireless communication terminal according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described in detail below.

[0041] Figure 2 FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a vehicle-mounted wireless communication terminal 200 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0042] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, Figure 2 As shown, the central processor 201 of the vehicle-mounted wireless communication terminal 200 is connected to the main mobile communication module 202 and at least one auxiliary mobile communication module, for example, through a USB3.0 interface or other bus interface. The at least one auxiliary mobile communication module includes a first auxiliary mobile communication module 203 and a second auxiliary mobile communication module 204.

[0043] That is, the mobile communication module in the vehicle-mounted wireless communication terminal 200 can be expressed as T={Ti},i=1,…,N(N≥2), and when specifically divided into primary and secondary roles, it can be further expressed as T={Ti},i={P,S} (P represents the primary mobile communication module, and S represents the secondary mobile communication module), wherein the primary mobile communication module can be expressed as TP={TPi},i=1, i.e., there is only one primary mobile communication module, and the secondary mobile communication module can be expressed as TS={TSi},i=1,…,N-1(N≥2), i.e., there are one or more secondary mobile communication modules.

[0044] In the example, the main mobile communication module 202, the first auxiliary mobile communication module 203 and the second auxiliary mobile communication module 204 can support the fourth generation communication technology (4G) and the fifth generation communication technology (5G) communication. The central processor 201 can issue an instruction to obtain the network status of the mobile communication module through serial communication or socket communication, or store the measured network status of the mobile communication module in the data storage unit of the vehicle-mounted wireless communication terminal after data processing. The main and auxiliary divisions of the mobile communication module are in terms of hardware design and software functions. For example, the main mobile communication module 202 may include hardware designs such as an audio codec, a keyboard, a V2X antenna, and a GNSS antenna for audio input / output. In terms of function, in addition to carrying mobile communication data services, it can also process voice services (eCall), SMS services, V2X, GNSS, etc., so the main mobile communication module 202 needs to be powered on and turned on all the time. The first auxiliary mobile communication module 203 and the second auxiliary mobile communication module 204 can only carry mobile communication data services, and can be powered off and shut down when necessary.

[0045] Understandably, Figure 2Only three examples of mobile communication modules are shown. Each mobile communication module can be installed with one or more SIM cards to support different standard networks of different operators. In actual applications, mobile communication modules or SIM cards can be added or deleted according to demand and cost considerations.

[0046] Figure 3 A flow chart of a communication method 300 for a vehicle-mounted wireless communication terminal according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown.

[0047] The method 300 is applied to a vehicle-mounted wireless communication terminal. In some embodiments, the vehicle-mounted wireless communication terminal may be arranged in a Figure 1 The vehicle-mounted wireless communication terminal includes a main mobile communication module and at least one auxiliary mobile communication module. In some embodiments, the main mobile communication module can be as follows: Figure 2 The main mobile communication module 202 shown, at least one auxiliary mobile communication module can be as follows Figure 2 The first auxiliary mobile communication module 203 and the second auxiliary mobile communication module 204 are shown.

[0048] like Figure 3 As shown, method 300 includes steps S301, S302 and S303.

[0049] In step S301, a first network state of a first mobile communication network corresponding to a main mobile communication module is obtained.

[0050] In the example, the central processor of the vehicle-mounted wireless communication terminal can issue an instruction to obtain the first network status of the first mobile communication network corresponding to the main mobile communication module through serial communication or socket communication. Afterwards, the first mobile communication network corresponding to the main mobile communication module can be measured in real time or periodically through the mobile communication baseband module (such as 4G, 5G baseband chip) integrated inside the main mobile communication module. The measured network status can be stored in the data storage unit of the vehicle-mounted wireless communication terminal after data processing. The central processor of the vehicle-mounted wireless communication terminal can monitor the network interface and the data communication bit stream to collect and analyze network data, and store the corresponding results in the data storage unit.

[0051] In the example, the first network state can be determined based on measured parameters such as reference signal received power (RSRP), signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR), external network two-way delay, throughput, etc.

[0052] In the example, during the communication process after the vehicle-mounted wireless communication terminal is normally powered on, network measurements can be periodically performed on the main mobile communication module, and a decision can be made on whether to use the auxiliary mobile communication module.

[0053] In step S302, it is determined whether to use a first secondary mobile communication module among at least one secondary mobile communication module based on a first network state.

[0054] In the example, the number of auxiliary mobile communication modules can be determined based on the cost and efficiency compromise in actual applications, for example, two. The first auxiliary mobile communication module can refer to any one of the at least one auxiliary mobile communication module. That is, all auxiliary mobile communication modules in the at least one auxiliary mobile communication module are not necessarily all used at the same time. Therefore, step S302 means determining whether to introduce other redundant auxiliary mobile communication modules in addition to the main mobile communication module to participate in the transmission of communication data.

[0055] In the example, when the first network state of the first mobile communication network corresponding to the main mobile communication module is good and can meet the communication data transmission requirements, it is not necessary to increase the use of any auxiliary mobile communication module, because this may require more power consumption. In addition, when the first network state of the first mobile communication network corresponding to the main mobile communication module is poor and may affect the communication data transmission, considering the reliability of data transmission, the use of any one of the at least one auxiliary mobile communication module, that is, the first auxiliary mobile communication module, can be increased or maintained.

[0056] In the example, the central processor of the vehicle-mounted wireless communication terminal can decide which network strategy to adopt. In some scenarios, such as the initial state of the vehicle-mounted wireless communication terminal when it is powered on, only the communication module used when it was last shut down can be used. For another example, in the scenario of the vehicle-mounted wireless communication terminal being awakened from sleep, only the communication module used before awakening from sleep can be used.

[0057] In step S303, in response to determining to use the first auxiliary mobile communication module, at least a portion of the communication data transmitted via the first mobile communication network corresponding to the main mobile communication module is transmitted using the second mobile communication network corresponding to the first auxiliary mobile communication module.

[0058] In the example, if it is determined to use the first auxiliary mobile communication module, one scenario may be that the first auxiliary mobile communication module has not been powered on and started before (or is in a low-power standby state), that is, it needs to be turned on; another scenario may be that the first auxiliary mobile communication module has been in use before, that is, it needs to continue to be used. On the contrary, if it is determined not to use the first auxiliary mobile communication module, it means that it is determined that there is no need to introduce other redundant auxiliary mobile communication modules other than the main mobile communication module to participate in the transmission of communication data.

[0059] In the example, all communication data transmission can be switched to the second mobile communication network corresponding to the newly introduced first auxiliary mobile communication module, or, according to the actual situation of the network, part of the communication data transmission can be retained on the first mobile communication network corresponding to the main mobile communication module, and the other part can be switched to the second mobile communication network corresponding to the first auxiliary mobile communication module.

[0060] In the example, when it is determined to use the first auxiliary mobile communication module, if the first auxiliary mobile communication module is not powered on, the power-on operation can be performed first, and then the first auxiliary mobile communication module can be added to the default route. If the first auxiliary mobile communication module is no longer needed, the route of the first auxiliary mobile communication module can be removed first, and the power-off operation can be performed.

[0061] Therefore, according to the communication method 300 for a vehicle-mounted wireless communication terminal according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a strategy is provided to ensure communication reliability by introducing redundant communication links, wherein the use of a redundant auxiliary mobile communication module is determined according to the network status of the mobile communication network corresponding to the main mobile communication module in the vehicle-mounted wireless communication terminal, so that the auxiliary mobile communication module participates in the transmission of communication data, thereby ensuring communication reliability and providing guarantee for the reliable operation of the autonomous driving vehicle.

[0062] In some embodiments, the method 300 may further include obtaining a second network status of a second mobile communication network corresponding to the first secondary mobile communication module. Figure 3 The shown step S302 may include: in response to the mobile communication module currently in use being the main mobile communication module, determining whether to turn on the first auxiliary mobile communication module among at least one auxiliary mobile communication module based on the first network status; and in response to the mobile communication module currently in use being the first auxiliary mobile communication module, or both the main mobile communication module and the first auxiliary mobile communication module, determining whether to continue using the first auxiliary mobile communication module based on the first network status and the second network status.

[0063] It is understandable that the mobile communication module currently in use is determined by the information related to the network status acquired last time, so it can reflect the previous network status.

[0064] In the example, when only the main mobile communication module is currently being used, as shown in Table 1 (for the sake of convenience, Tables 1 to 3 below are used as examples to illustrate that "main" represents the main mobile communication module, "first auxiliary" represents the first auxiliary mobile communication module, and "second auxiliary" represents the second auxiliary mobile communication module, and the symbol "√" represents a better network status and "×" represents a worse network status), if the first network status of the first mobile communication network corresponding to the main mobile communication module is better and can meet the communication data transmission requirements, the first auxiliary mobile communication module may not be turned on, for example, the first auxiliary mobile communication module may not be powered on (or the first auxiliary mobile communication module may be placed in a low-power standby state), and only the main mobile communication module may continue to be used.

[0065] Similarly, if the first network status of the first mobile communication network corresponding to the primary mobile communication module is poor and may affect communication data transmission, the first secondary mobile communication module may be turned on. Figure 3 In step S303 shown, at least a portion of the communication data transmitted via the first mobile communication network corresponding to the main mobile communication module can be transmitted using the second mobile communication network corresponding to the first auxiliary mobile communication module, that is, as shown in Table 1, only the first auxiliary mobile communication module can be used for the transmission of all communication data, or both the main mobile communication module and the first auxiliary mobile communication module can be used simultaneously so that the two are respectively used for the transmission of a portion of the communication data.

[0066] Table 1

[0067]

[0068] In the example, when only the first auxiliary mobile communication module is currently being used, it means that it may have been determined that the first network state of the first mobile communication network corresponding to the main mobile communication module may be poor, while the second network state of the second mobile communication network corresponding to the first auxiliary mobile communication module may be good. If the first network state is still poor when the determination is made this time, and the second network state of the second mobile communication network corresponding to the first auxiliary mobile communication module is still good, as shown in Table 2, the first auxiliary mobile communication module can continue to be used, or if the first network state improves at this time, both the main mobile communication module and the first auxiliary mobile communication module can be used at the same time.

[0069] Similarly, if the first network state is better and the second network state is worse when the determination is made this time, as shown in Table 2, the main mobile communication module can be reused. If both the first network state and the second network state are better when the determination is made this time, as shown in Table 2, the main mobile communication module can be used, or the first auxiliary mobile communication module can be used, or both the main mobile communication module and the first auxiliary mobile communication module can be used at the same time. If both the first network state and the second network state are worse when the determination is made this time, as shown in Table 2, but if the use of the main mobile communication module and the first auxiliary mobile communication module at the same time can meet the communication data transmission requirements, both can be used at the same time, or more redundant auxiliary mobile communication modules (such as the second auxiliary mobile communication module) can be opened to use the second auxiliary mobile communication module.

[0070] Table 2

[0071]

[0072] In the example, when both the main mobile communication module and the first auxiliary mobile communication module are currently being used, it means that the first network state of the first mobile communication network corresponding to the main mobile communication module may be determined to be poor when the determination is made last time, so that the first auxiliary mobile communication module needs to be used at the same time to undertake part of the communication data transmission. If the first network state is still poor and the second network state is good when the determination is made this time, as shown in Table 3, the main mobile communication module and the first auxiliary mobile communication module can continue to be used at the same time, or only the first auxiliary mobile communication module can be used.

[0073] Similarly, if the first network state is better and the second network state is worse when the determination is made this time, as shown in Table 3, only the main mobile communication module can be used, or when the main mobile communication module is better but still insufficient to independently bear all communication data transmission, both the main mobile communication module and the first auxiliary mobile communication module can be used. If both the first network state and the second network state are better when the determination is made this time, as shown in Table 3, the main mobile communication module can be used, or the first auxiliary mobile communication module can be used, or both the main mobile communication module and the first auxiliary mobile communication module can be used at the same time. If both the first network state and the second network state are worse when the determination is made this time, as shown in Table 3, more redundant mobile communication modules (such as the second auxiliary mobile communication module) can be turned on to use the second auxiliary mobile communication module, or the second auxiliary mobile communication module can be used simultaneously with the main mobile communication module or the first auxiliary mobile communication module.

[0074] Table 3

[0075]

[0076] In the above manner, the mobile communication module currently in use can essentially provide information related to the network state obtained last time, because the mobile communication module currently in use is determined by such information. The information related to the network state obtained this time, that is, the first network state or both the first network state and the second network state, can directly reflect the change at this time relative to the network state obtained last time. Therefore, the dynamic change of the network state can be accurately judged based on these two types of information, thereby accurately determining whether to use the first auxiliary mobile communication module in at least one auxiliary mobile communication module.

[0077] In some embodiments, determining whether to continue using the first secondary mobile communication module based on the first network status and the second network status may include: determining whether to turn on a second secondary mobile communication module among the at least one secondary mobile communication module based on the first network status and the second network status.

[0078] In the example, as described above, when only the first auxiliary mobile communication module is currently being used (meaning that the first network state was poor when the last determination was made), if both the first network state and the second network state are poor when the determination is made this time, the second auxiliary mobile communication module can be turned on, as shown in Table 2 above.

[0079] Similarly, in the case where both the main mobile communication module and the first auxiliary mobile communication module are currently being used (meaning that the first network status was determined to be poor during the last determination, so that the first auxiliary mobile communication module needs to be used simultaneously to undertake part of the communication data transmission), if both the first network status and the second network status are poor during this determination, the second auxiliary mobile communication module can be turned on, or the second auxiliary mobile communication module can be used simultaneously with the main mobile communication module or the first auxiliary mobile communication module, as shown in Table 3 above.

[0080] Therefore, the reliability of network communication can be further ensured by more redundant mobile communication modules.

[0081] Figure 4 A flowchart of a process 400 of determining whether to use a first secondary mobile communication module according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown.

[0082] like Figure 4 The process 400 shown may correspond to Figure 3 Step S302 is shown. In some embodiments, different determination strategies may be adopted according to the configuration of the communication modes of the primary mobile communication module and the secondary mobile communication module.

[0083] The process 400 may include a step S401 for determining whether the primary mobile communication module and the at least one secondary mobile communication module are pre-configured to operate in the same communication standard. Alternatively, information related to whether the primary mobile communication module and the at least one secondary mobile communication module are pre-configured to operate in the same or different communication standards may be acquired in advance without additional immediate determination.

[0084] In the example, it can be understood that each mobile communication module can include a SIM card, and the network frequency bands supported by different SIM card operators may be different. Therefore, the main mobile communication module and at least one auxiliary mobile communication module can be classified according to whether they work in the same communication standard or different communication standards, which is convenient for the determination of further network strategies. The current mainstream communication standards may include the fourth generation communication technology (4G) and the fifth generation communication technology (5G). When the main mobile communication module and at least one auxiliary mobile communication module both work in 4G or both work in 5G, they work in the same communication standard; when the main mobile communication module works in 4G and the at least one auxiliary mobile communication module works in 5G, or when the main mobile communication module works in 5G and the at least one auxiliary mobile communication module works in 4G, they work in different communication standards.

[0085] In response to the main mobile communication module and at least one auxiliary mobile communication module being pre-configured to work in the same communication standard, process 400 may include steps S402 and S403. In step S402, the first network state and the second network state may be characterized by a first type of event. The triggering of the first type of event is used to indicate whether the network state of the communication network corresponding to each mobile communication module working in the same communication standard meets a predetermined standard. In step S403, it may be determined whether to use the first auxiliary mobile communication module in the at least one auxiliary mobile communication module based on the first type of event.

[0086] In response to the main mobile communication module and at least one auxiliary mobile communication module being pre-configured to work in different communication formats, process 400 may include steps S404 and S405. In step S404, the first network state and the second network state may be characterized by a second type of event. The triggering of the second type of event is used to indicate whether the network state of the communication network corresponding to each mobile communication module working in different communication formats meets a predetermined standard. In step S405, it may be determined whether to use the first auxiliary mobile communication module in the at least one auxiliary mobile communication module based on the second type of event.

[0087] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the first type of event and the second type of event can be used to quantitatively characterize the network status. That is, the quality of the network status needs to be measured by what kind of event the network status is in or entering. When the primary and secondary mobile communication modules are pre-configured to work in the same or different communication formats, the corresponding network status can be determined by means of different types of events. Thus, an accurate data basis can be provided for determining whether a redundant secondary mobile communication module needs to be used for decision making.

[0088] In some embodiments, the first category of events may include first to fourth events.

[0089] The triggering of the first event may indicate that the first network state of the first communication network corresponding to the currently used primary mobile communication module meets the first predetermined standard, or the second network state of the second communication network corresponding to the currently used first secondary mobile communication module meets the first predetermined standard.

[0090] In the example, the first event may also be referred to as an A1 event. Specifically, the triggering of the A1 event may be described by the following conditions:

[0091] RSRP–RSRP_hys ≥ RSRP_thresh

[0092] SINR–SINR_hys ≥ SINR_thresh

[0093] DELAY≤DELAY_thresh

[0095] Among them, RSRP and SINR represent the reference signal received power and signal to interference plus noise ratio of the network signal of the mobile communication module measured in real time, respectively, in decibel milliwatt (dBm) and decibel (dB); RSRP_hys and SINR_hys represent hysteresis parameters, in decibel (dB); RSRP_thresh and SINR_thresh represent the threshold value of the network signal of the mobile communication module, in the same unit as RSRP and SINR; DELAY represents the real-time external network two-way delay, in milliseconds (ms); DELAY_thresh represents the network round-trip delay threshold, which can be configured as uplink only, downlink only or bidirectional, in the same unit as DELAY; TPUT represents the real-time throughput, which can be configured as uplink only, downlink only or bidirectional, in megabits per second (Mbps); TPUT_thresh represents the expected value of conventional throughput, which can be configured as uplink only, downlink only or bidirectional, in the same unit as TPUT. It can be understood that fewer or more indicators than the four indicators of RSRP, SINR, DELAY and TPUT can be used.

[0096] The triggering of the second event may indicate that the first network state of the first communication network corresponding to the currently used primary mobile communication module does not meet the second predetermined standard, or the second network state of the second communication network corresponding to the currently used first secondary mobile communication module does not meet the second predetermined standard.

[0097] In the example, the second event may also be referred to as an A2 event. Specifically, the triggering of the A2 event may be described by the following conditions:

[0098] RSRP+RSRP_hys<RSRP_thresh

[0099] SINR+SINR_hys<SINR_thresh

[0100] DELAY>DELAY_thresh

[0101] TPUT<TPUT_thresh

[0102] Among them, RSRP and SINR represent the reference signal received power and signal to interference plus noise ratio of the network signal of the mobile communication module measured in real time, respectively, in decibel milliwatt (dBm) and decibel (dB); RSRP_hys and SINR_hys represent hysteresis parameters, in decibel (dB); RSRP_thresh and SINR_thresh represent the threshold value of the network signal difference of the mobile communication module, in the same unit as RSRP and SINR; DELAY represents the real-time external network two-way delay, in milliseconds (ms); DELAY_thresh represents the network round-trip delay threshold, which can be configured as uplink only, downlink only or bidirectional, in the same unit as DELAY; TPUT represents the real-time throughput, which can be configured as uplink only, downlink only or bidirectional, in megabits per second (Mbps); TPUT_thresh represents the expected value of conventional throughput, which can be configured as uplink only, downlink only or bidirectional, in the same unit as TPUT. It can be understood that fewer or more indicators than the four indicators of RSRP, SINR, DELAY and TPUT can be used.

[0103] The triggering of the third event may indicate that the network state of the communication network corresponding to one of the primary mobile communication module and the first secondary mobile communication module is better than the network state of the communication network corresponding to the other one.

[0104] In the example, the third event may also be referred to as an A3 event. Specifically, the triggering of the A3 event may be described by the following conditions:

[0105] RSRP2–RSRP_offset ≥ RSRP1

[0106] SINR2–SINR_offset ≥ SINR1

[0107] DELAY2+DELAY_offset≤DELAY1

[0108] TPUT2–TPUT_offset ≥ TPUT1

[0109] Among them, RSRP1 and RSRP2 respectively represent the reference signal received power of the network signals of the two mobile communication modules measured in real time, in decibel milliwatts (dBm); SINR1 and SINR2 respectively represent the signal to interference plus noise ratio of the network signals of the two mobile communication modules measured in real time, in decibels (dB); RSRP_offset and SINR_offset represent the threshold value of the network signal difference of the mobile communication module, in decibels (dB); DELAY1 and DELAY2 respectively represent the real-time measured delay of the two mobile communication modules. =The external network two-way delay of the group is in milliseconds (ms); DELAY_offset represents the mobile communication module network round-trip delay difference threshold, which can be configured as uplink only, downlink only or bidirectional, in milliseconds (ms); TPUT1 and TPUT2 represent the real-time throughput of the two mobile communication modules measured in real time, which can be configured as uplink only, downlink only or bidirectional, in megabits per second (Mbps); TPUT_offset represents the expected value of conventional throughput, which can be configured as uplink only, downlink only or bidirectional, in megabits per second (Mbps). It can be understood that fewer or more indicators than RSRP1, SINR1, DELAY1 and TPUT1 and RSRP2, SINR2, DELAY2 and TPUT2 can be used.

[0110] The triggering of the fourth event may indicate that the network status of the communication network corresponding to one of the primary mobile communication module and the first secondary mobile communication module meets the first predetermined standard, while the network status of the communication network corresponding to the other one does not meet the second predetermined standard.

[0111] In the example, the fourth event may also be referred to as an A4 event. Specifically, the triggering of the A4 event may be described by the following conditions:

[0112] RSRP1+RSRP_hys<RSRP_thresh1

[0113] SINR1+SINR_hys<SINR_thresh1

[0114] DELAY1>DELAY_thresh1

[0115] TPUT1<TPUT_thresh1

[0116] RSRP2–RSRP_hys≥RSRP_thresh2

[0117] SINR2–SINR_hys≥SINR_thresh2

[0118] DELAY2≤DELAY_thresh2

[0119] TPUT2≤TPUT_thresh2

[0120] Among them, RSRP1 and RSRP2 respectively represent the reference signal received power of the network signals of the two mobile communication modules measured in real time, in decibel milliwatts (dBm); SINR1 and SINR2 respectively represent the signal to interference plus noise ratio of the network signals of the two mobile communication modules measured in real time, in decibels (dB); RSRP_thresh1 and SINR_thresh1 respectively represent the threshold values ​​of the network signal quality difference of one of the two mobile communication modules measured in real time, in decibel milliwatts (dBm) and decibels (dB); RSRP_thresh2 and SINR_thresh2 respectively represent the threshold values ​​of the network signal quality difference of one of the two mobile communication modules measured in real time, in decibel milliwatts (dBm) and decibels (dB); =TPUT_thresh1 and TPUT_thresh2 respectively represent the threshold value of the network signal quality of the other of the two mobile communication modules measured in real time, in decibel milliwatts (dBm) and decibels, respectively; DELAY_thresh1 and DELAY_thresh2 respectively represent the threshold value of the network delay difference of one of the two mobile communication modules measured in real time and the threshold value of the network delay of the other, in milliseconds (ms); TPUT_thresh1 and TPUT_thresh2 respectively represent the expected value of the regular throughput of the real-time services of the two mobile communication modules measured in real time, which can be configured as only uplink, only downlink or bidirectional, in megabits per second (Mbps). It can be understood that fewer or more indicators than RSRP1, SINR1, DELAY1 and TPUT1 and RSRP2, SINR2, DELAY2 and TPUT2 can be used.

[0121] By pre-defining the first to fourth events in the above manner, various possible network status scenarios can be accurately quantified for the case where the primary and secondary mobile communication modules are pre-configured to operate in the same communication standard, thereby accurately determining through the triggering of corresponding events which mobile communication modules or modules are used to transmit communication data.

[0122] In some embodiments, the second category of events may include a fifth event and a sixth event.

[0123] The triggering of the fifth event may indicate that a network status of a communication network corresponding to one of the primary mobile communication module and the first secondary mobile communication module for any communication standard meets a first predetermined standard.

[0124] In the example, the fifth event may also be referred to as the B1 event. Specifically, the triggering of the B1 event may be described by the following conditions:

[0125] RSRP–RSRP_hys ≥ RSRP_thresh

[0126] SINR–SINR_hys ≥ SINR_thresh

[0127] DELAY≤DELAY_thresh

[0128] TPUT ≥ TPUT_thresh

[0129] Among them, RSRP and SINR respectively represent the reference signal received power and signal to interference plus noise ratio of the network signal of a mobile communication module working in any communication standard measured in real time, RSRP is in decibel milliwatt (dBm), and SINR is in decibel (dB); RSRP_hys and SINR_hys represent hysteresis parameters in decibel (dB); RSRP_thresh and SINR_thresh represent the threshold value of the good network signal of the mobile communication module, and the unit is the same as RSRP and SINR; DELAY represents the external network two-way delay of a mobile communication module working in any communication standard measured in real time, in milliseconds (ms); DELAY_thresh represents the network round-trip delay threshold, which can be configured as uplink only, downlink only or bidirectional, and the unit is the same as DELAY; TPUT represents the real-time throughput, which can be configured as uplink only, downlink only or bidirectional, and the unit is megabits per second (Mbps); TPUT_thresh represents the expected value of conventional throughput, which can be configured as uplink only, downlink only or bidirectional, and the unit is the same as TPUT. It is understandable that fewer or more indicators than RSRP, SINR, DELAY and TPUT may be used.

[0130] The triggering of the sixth event may indicate that the network status of the communication network corresponding to one of the main mobile communication module and the first auxiliary mobile communication module for one communication standard meets the first predetermined standard, while the network status of the communication network corresponding to the other one for another communication standard does not meet the second predetermined standard.

[0131] In the example, the sixth event can also be called the B2 event. Specifically, the sixth event can be described by the following formula:

[0132] RSRP1+RSRP_hys<RSRP_thresh1

[0133] SINR1+SINR_hys<SINR_thresh1

[0134] DELAY1>DELAY_thresh1

[0135] TPUT1<TPUT_thresh1

[0136] RSRP2–RSRP_hys≥RSRP_thresh2

[0137] SINR2–SINR_hys≥SINR_thresh2

[0138] DELAY2≤DELAY_thresh2

[0139] TPUT2 ≥ TPUT_thresh2

[0140] Among them, RSRP1 and RSRP2 respectively represent the reference signal received power of the network signal of two mobile communication modules working in different communication standards measured in real time, in decibel milliwatts (dBm); SINR1 and SINR2 respectively represent the signal to interference plus noise ratio of the network signal of the two mobile communication modules working in different communication standards measured in real time, in decibels (dB); RSRP_thresh1 and SINR_thresh1 respectively represent the threshold value of the network signal quality difference of one of the two mobile communication modules working in different communication standards measured in real time, in decibel milliwatts (dBm) and decibels (dB), respectively; RSRP_thresh2 and SINR_thresh2 respectively represent the threshold value of the network signal quality difference of one of the two mobile communication modules working in different communication standards measured in real time, in decibel milliwatts (dBm) and decibels (dB), respectively. The values ​​are as follows: DELAY_thresh1 and DELAY_thresh2 represent the threshold values ​​of the network delay difference of one of the two mobile communication modules working in different communication standards and the threshold value of the network delay of the other one, respectively, measured in real time, in milliseconds (ms); TPUT_thresh1 and TPUT_thresh2 represent the expected values ​​of the regular throughput of real-time services of the two mobile communication modules working in different communication standards, respectively, which can be configured as uplink only, downlink only or bidirectional, in megabits per second (Mbps).

[0141] By pre-defining the fifth event and the sixth event in the above manner, it is possible to accurately quantify various possible network status scenarios for the case where the primary and secondary mobile communication modules are pre-configured to operate in different communication standards, thereby accurately determining through the triggering of corresponding events which mobile communication modules or modules are used to transmit communication data.

[0142] The following is an explanation of events A1 to A4 and events B1 and B2 in turn.

[0143] In the example, during the communication process after the vehicle-mounted wireless communication terminal is normally powered on, the terminal periodically performs network measurement on the main mobile communication module and decides whether to start the network measurement of the auxiliary mobile communication module. The timing of starting the network measurement of the auxiliary mobile communication module can be defined by the measurement trigger event: if the network measurement of the main mobile communication module meets the A1 event, the central processor believes that the current main mobile communication module can meet the vehicle business needs, and there is no need to start the measurement trigger event; if the network measurement of the main mobile communication module meets the A2 event, the instruction to start the measurement of the first auxiliary mobile communication module can be executed; if the first auxiliary mobile communication module meets the A1 event, the central processor believes that the current addition of this auxiliary mobile communication module can meet the vehicle business needs, and there is no need to start more auxiliary mobile communication module measurement trigger events; if the first auxiliary mobile communication module meets the A2 event, the instruction to start the measurement of the second auxiliary mobile communication module can be executed. If the corresponding auxiliary mobile communication module is not powered on, it needs to perform the power-on operation first.

[0144] In the example, when more auxiliary mobile communication modules are required to start working, the auxiliary mobile communication module can be powered on, and the route of the auxiliary mobile communication module can be added to the default route after powering on. When a specific auxiliary mobile communication module is not required for communication data transmission, the route of the auxiliary mobile communication module can be removed and the module can be powered off. This can be called a module addition or removal event.

[0145] In the example, the default main route switching event can be used to define the switching of the default main route, indicating which communication module is used as the main route for data communication: when the communication quality of the main and auxiliary mobile communication modules is poorer than that of the auxiliary and main mobile communication modules, the A3 event can be triggered to perform the default main route switching operation, and switch the data communication service flow to the auxiliary and main mobile communication modules with better network quality; if the mobile communication module used by the current default main route works in the 4G standard, and the network quality of the communication module working in the 5G standard improves, the B1 event can be triggered to perform the default main route switching operation. Recognize the main route operation and switch the data communication service flow to the communication module working in 5G with improved network quality; if the mobile communication module currently used by the default main route is 5G, but the 5G network quality deteriorates and is worse than a certain value, and at the same time the network quality of the mobile communication module working under the 4G standard improves and is better than a certain value, the B2 event can be triggered to execute the operation of switching the default main route, and switch the data communication service flow to the communication module working in 4G with better network quality; after the above switching event occurs, the auxiliary mobile communication module that is no longer needed can trigger the module removal event.

[0146] In the example, there may also be a data flow routing switching event. When a single mobile communication module cannot meet the service needs (such as the triggering of A4 or B1 events), some of the service flows originally communicated in the main mobile communication module are screened out from the vehicle's data communication service flow set and switched to the added auxiliary mobile communication module. The auxiliary communication module that is no longer needed can trigger a module removal event.

[0147] In the example, corresponding to the scenario of the switching event of the main and auxiliary mobile communication modules, the entire set of communication data streams of the vehicle can be switched to a single route, which is achieved by switching the local export routing method of the central processor; for the scenario of data stream route switching, the route switching strategy is to select part of the communication data streams from the entire set of communication data streams for route switching, and the selection method is to make a comprehensive decision based on business demand attributes such as business type, priority, latency, acceptable packet loss rate, bandwidth requirements, etc. and the actual communication network indicators of the business.

[0148] In the example, a timer can be set to execute the module power-on, power-off operation, or enter, exit low power consumption operation after the timer times out.

[0149] In the example, it is assumed that the main mobile communication module uses the SIM card of operator A, the first auxiliary mobile communication module uses the SIM card of operator B, and the second auxiliary mobile communication module uses the SIM card of operator C. Different operators support different frequency bands. Here, A, 5G N41 + 4G standard frequency band, B, 5G N78 + 4G standard frequency band, C, 5G millimeter wave + 4G standard frequency band are taken as examples. Enable the main mobile communication module after powering on.

[0150] An example of triggering the A1 event: parameter settings RSRP_hys = 0dB, SINR_hys = 0dB, RSRP_thresh = -80dBm, SINR_thresh = 15dB, uplink TPUT_thresh = 10Mbps, DELAY_thresh = 50ms. Real-time measured RSRP ≥ -80, SINR ≥ 15, uplink TPUT ≥ 10, DELAY ≤ 50, the timer is set to 5s. If the timer times out and the A1 event is still met, the module removal event is triggered, and the module power management operation is executed. Only the main mobile communication module is used for communication, and the auxiliary mobile communication module is powered off.

[0151] Example of triggering A2 event: parameter setting RSRP_hys=0dB, SINR_hys=0dB, RSRP_thresh=-80dBm, SINR_thresh=15dB, uplink TPUT_thresh=10Mbps, DELAY_thresh=50ms. RSRP<-80, SINR<15, uplink TPUT<10, DELAY>50 measured in real time, timer is set to 5s, if A2 event is still satisfied after timer times out, measurement trigger event occurs, module power management operation is executed, auxiliary mobile communication module is powered on, and measurement of auxiliary mobile communication module is started.

[0152] Example of triggering A3 event: parameter setting RSRP_offset = 5dB, SINR_offset = 5dB, DELAY_offset = 50ms, TPUT_offset is not configured (ie, TPUT is not measured). RSRP2-RSRP1≥5, SINR2-SINR1≥5, DELAY2-DELAY1≥50, timer is set to 5s, if the timer times out and still meets the A3 event, execute the switch main route operation.

[0153] Example of triggering A4 event: parameter settings RSRP_hys = 0dB, SINR_hys = 0dB, RSRP_thresh1 = -80dBm, SINR_thresh1 = 15dB, uplink TPUT_thresh1 = 10Mbps, DELAY_thresh1 = 50ms, RSRP_thresh2 = -95dBm, SINR_thresh2 = 5dB, uplink TPUT_thresh2 = 5Mbps, DELAY_thresh2 = 100m s, the real-time measured main mobile communication module RSRP <-80, SINR <15, uplink TPUT <10, DELAY > 50, the first auxiliary mobile communication module RSRP ≥ -95, SINR ≥ 5, uplink TPUT ≥ 5, DELAY ≤ 100, the second auxiliary mobile communication module RSRP ≥ -95, SINR ≥ 5, uplink TPUT ≥ 5, DELAY ≤ 100, at this time, according to the service requirements, part of the service data originally transmitted in the main mobile communication module is routed to the first auxiliary mobile communication module and the second auxiliary mobile communication module respectively. If one main mobile communication module plus one auxiliary mobile communication module can meet the service requirements, the auxiliary mobile communication module with the best network quality can be selected, and the other auxiliary mobile communication module can be removed. For example, the service data with high real-time requirements can be retained in the main mobile communication module, and the services with low real-time requirements but certain bandwidth requirements can be balanced to the auxiliary mobile communication module.

[0154] An example of triggering the B1 event: parameter settings RSRP_hys=0dB, SINR_hys=0dB, RSRP_thresh=-95dBm, SINR_thresh=5dB, DELAY_thresh=100ms, TPUT_thresh=10Mbps, and the mobile communication module working under the 5G standard is measured to have RSRP≥-95, SINR≥5, uplink TPUT≥10, DELAY<100, and the timer is set to 5s. If the B1 event is still satisfied after the timer times out, the main route switching operation is executed regardless of the network quality of the mobile communication module currently working under the 4G standard.

[0155] Example 1 of triggering B2 event: Parameter setting RSRP_hys=0dB, SINR_hys=0dB, RSRP_thresh1=-95dBm, SINR_thresh1=5dB, DELAY_thresh1=100ms, TPUT_thresh1=10Mbps, RSRP_thresh2=-80dBm, SINR_thresh2=15dB, DELAY_thresh2=50ms, TPUT_thresh1=15Mbps. It is measured that the mobile communication module currently working in the 5G standard has RSRP<-95, SINR<5, uplink TPUT<10, DELAY>100, and the mobile communication module working in the 4G standard has RSRP≥-80, SINR≥15, uplink TPUT≥15, DELAY<50. The timer is set to 5s. If the B2 event is still met when the timer times out, the main route switching operation is executed.

[0156] Example 2 of triggering B2 event: parameter setting RSRP_hys = 0dB, SINR_hys = 0dB, RSRP_thresh1 = -80dBm, SINR_thresh1 = 15dB, uplink TPUT_thresh1 = 10Mbps, DELAY_thresh1 = 50ms, RSRP_thresh2 = -90dBm, SINR_thresh2 = 10dB, uplink TPUT_thresh2 = 5Mbps, DELAY_thresh2 = 100ms, real-time measurement of the main mobile communication module working in 5G RSRP < -80, SINR < 15, uplink TPU T<10,DELAY>50,RSRP≥-90,SINR≥10,uplink TPUT≥5,DELAY≤100 of the auxiliary mobile communication module 1 working in 4G,RSRP≥-90,SINR≥10,uplink TPUT≥5,DELAY≤100 of the auxiliary mobile communication module 2 working in 4G. At this time, according to business needs, part of the business data originally transmitted in the main mobile communication module is routed to the first auxiliary mobile communication module and the second auxiliary mobile communication module respectively. If one main mobile communication module plus one auxiliary mobile communication module can meet the business needs, the auxiliary mobile communication module with the best network quality can be selected, and the other auxiliary module can perform the module removal operation.

[0157] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, Figure 3 The method 300 shown may also include a network control suppression operation. In view of the network control error and the risk it may bring, a network control suppression operation may be performed to control the risk.

[0158] In some embodiments, Figure 3 The method 300 shown may include: in response to detecting that the driving speed of a vehicle equipped with an on-board wireless communication terminal at a specific moment is greater than or equal to a predetermined speed threshold, selecting one of the main mobile communication module and at least one auxiliary mobile communication module that was being used before the specific moment to transmit communication data.

[0159] In the example, when the driving speed of the vehicle of the vehicle-mounted wireless communication terminal at a specific moment is greater than or equal to a predetermined speed threshold, the safe driving of the vehicle has a high requirement for the reliability of network quality. Therefore, in order to avoid the risk of network instability caused by the error of the above network control method, one of the main mobile communication module and at least one auxiliary mobile communication module that is in use before the specific moment can be selected to transmit communication data. The predetermined speed threshold can be set based on experience or on demand.

[0160] This can prevent the quality of network communication from being affected due to untimely switching of communication data when the vehicle is traveling at high speed.

[0161] In some embodiments, Figure 3 The method 300 shown may include: in response to detecting a triggered ping-pong switching event, selecting one of the main mobile communication module and at least one auxiliary mobile communication module that is being used before the ping-pong switching event is triggered to transmit communication data, wherein the ping-pong switching event indicates that the number of times at least a portion of the communication data in a specific time period is switched between transmission via the main mobile communication module and transmission via at least one auxiliary mobile communication module is greater than or equal to a predetermined number threshold.

[0162] In the example, when the ping-pong switching event is triggered, it means that at least a part of the communication data is switched too frequently between the mobile communication modules, which may cause inconvenience for the instruction transmission and data storage between the mobile communication module and the central processor. At the same time, it may also cause more power consumption. In this case, one of the main mobile communication module and at least one auxiliary mobile communication module that was being used before the ping-pong switching event was triggered can be selected to transmit communication data. In some scenarios, when the vehicle is stationary, if it is detected that the network quality of the mobile communication modules is slightly different, and there is a network fluctuation that causes the main route to constantly ping-pong switch, the main route can be forcibly set to the main communication module, and the route switching function can be turned off. When the vehicle moves, the route switching function can be turned on again.

[0163] As a result, the adverse effects of the ping-pong switching event on the data transmission process and power consumption of the vehicle-mounted wireless communication terminal are reduced, and the reliability of network communication is improved.

[0164] In some embodiments, Figure 3 The method 300 shown may include: in response to detecting that a vehicle equipped with an on-board wireless communication terminal has a pre-acquired routing strategy related to the use of a main mobile communication module and at least one auxiliary mobile communication module on a specific driving route, selecting at least one of the main mobile communication module or at least one auxiliary mobile communication module on the specific driving route based on the routing strategy.

[0165] In the example, when there is a pre-acquired routing strategy related to the use of the main mobile communication module and at least one auxiliary mobile communication module on a specific driving route, the routing strategy can be directly applied. Therefore, it is no longer necessary to make a decision on the routing strategy on the same driving route again according to the above communication method, and communication can be carried out directly based on the pre-acquired routing strategy.
