[0002] Compared with Wi-Fi 6 and other protocol standards, Wi-Fi 7 protocol proposes a new MLO (Multilink Operation) technology, that is, MLD (Multilink Device) terminals can simultaneously establish multiple links with AP (Access Point) based on multiple frequency bands (such as 2.4GHz, 5GHz and 6GHz), and communicate wirelessly with AP based on these links in parallel.

In the above implementation, the target channels of the AP on different radio frequencies are uniformly determined and then uniformly switched; based on this, it adapts to the technical scenario of "establishing connections based on multiple radio frequencies at the same time" brought about by the "multi-link operation" introduced in the Wi-Fi 7 protocol, so that when the network environment deteriorates and the AP needs to switch channels, it will not uncontrollably switch channels for each radio frequency at different time nodes. This not only reduces the probability of network instability, packet loss, disconnection, etc. caused by frequent reconstruction of the network connection between the AP and the terminal, thereby improving the user experience, but also reduces the power consumption of the terminal by reducing the number of network reconnections of the terminal, which helps to extend the battery life of the terminal.

[0067] It is to be understood that the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only and are not restrictive of the present disclosure. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0068] The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and constitute a part of this disclosure, illustrate embodiments consistent with the present disclosure and, together with the description, serve to explain the principles of the present disclosure.

[0076] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present disclosure. Instead, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0077] For Radio Resource Management (RRM), the Channel Switch Announcement mechanism in the Wi-Fi protocol is often affected by multiple factors such as the degree of terminal support, the number of terminals in the actual environment, and the switching speed of AP (Access Point) and cannot be properly implemented, resulting in problems such as the terminal not switching with the AP or abnormal communication between the AP and the terminal after switching. Therefore, currently, when updating the working channel of the radio frequency, the AP usually sends a de-association message to the terminal to make the terminal offline from the AP, and then uses the terminal's scanning and reconnection mechanism to ensure the synchronization between the terminal and the AP.

[0078] Wi-Fi7 (protocol version 802.11be) introduces multi-link operation, so the terminal can establish multiple links with the AP in different frequency bands for wireless communication at the same time. However, as the frequency bands based on the network connection increase, the number of channel switching in the network connection will also increase. For example, in the case of poor network connection quality, the AP may switch the working channel of the 2.4GHz band after switching the working channel of the 5GHz band. At this time, there will be two disconnections between the AP and the terminal. From the user's perspective, the frequency of unstable network connection, packet loss, and disconnection of the terminal has increased significantly compared with old standards such as Wi-Fi6. Especially in Wi-Fi7, the association process of multi-link operation is much more complicated and time-consuming than the network connection establishment process in protocols such as Wi-Fi6. This phenomenon of "multiple disconnections" will cause more obvious damage to the user experience.

[0079] In view of this, the present disclosure provides a wireless resource management method, device, electronic device and storage medium. Next, some concepts involved in the present disclosure are first introduced.

[0080] One of the main goals of Radio Resource Management (RRM) is to dynamically manage and optimize radio resources under limited bandwidth conditions to ensure the overall performance of the network. In the RRM system, Dynamic Channel Allocation (DCA) is an important component. DCA is used to dynamically allocate and adjust channels according to the real-time radio environment and network load to reduce interference and improve spectrum utilization.

[0081] Next, the embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail.

[0082] The first aspect of the present disclosure provides a wireless resource management method. The method can be exemplarily applied to an access point AP management device (hereinafter referred to as "management device"), which is used to manage at least one AP in a wireless network, and the wireless network is in a multi-link operation mode. In other words, the method can be applied to a management device in a network scenario (i.e., the above-mentioned wireless network) involving multi-link operations (the management device can be another device independent of the AP, or it can also be the AP itself, that is, the AP device can be used to manage at least one access point including the device in addition to being an access point of the wireless network), wherein the network scenario involving multi-link operations can be a Wi-Fi 7 (of course, it can also be a version before Wi-Fi 7, and an updated iterative version of the Wi-Fi protocol after Wi-Fi 7, which is not limited in the present disclosure) network scenario. The network scenario can be a single AP network (such as a common home wireless router), "AC (Access Controller) + AP" network, FTTR (Fiber To The Room) network, enterprise-level FTTR network, cloud AP network, multi-type hybrid network, etc., and the present disclosure does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0083] This solution also does not limit the communication protocol between devices in the network. When at least one AP in the network scenario supports MLO technology (the AP can be used as the target AP), the network scenario can be considered to be a network scenario that includes multi-link operations, while other network devices in the network scenario do not necessarily support MLO technology. Similarly, the device that executes the method provided in the first aspect of the embodiment does not necessarily support MLO technology, but it can at least be used to manage an AP that supports MLO technology. Please refer to Figure 1 The method may include steps S101 to S103.

[0084] Step S101: for each AP in the at least one AP, obtain a plurality of radio frequencies to be adjusted of the AP.

[0085] For ease of description, the above-mentioned "AP" is also referred to as the target AP in the present disclosure, which is used to refer to any AP in the above-mentioned at least one AP (i.e., the AP device that performs the "unified switching" step). The method provided in the first aspect embodiment can be executed by the target AP itself (i.e., the above-mentioned management is the target AP, and the target AP is used to manage at least one AP including itself), or it can be executed by the AC in the "AC+AP" network, the main device of the FTTR network, the main device of the enterprise-level FTTR network, the TM (Traffic Manager) of the smartMC (intelligent microcontroller) network, the Controller (controller) of the Easymesh network, and other management devices (i.e., the above-mentioned network device is a management device for managing the above-mentioned target AP), or it can also be executed by a cloud server, a network management system, and other platforms. The triggering mode of the method provided in the present disclosure can be manual triggering (such as triggering when receiving a specific user instruction), timing triggering, triggering when receiving a message that the AP channel quality is too poor, artificial intelligence prediction timing triggering (that is, based on artificial intelligence, to determine whether the RRM channel switching should be performed at a certain moment according to the parameters of the current Wi-Fi network), etc., and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0086] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the target AP has multiple radio frequency modules and supports MLO networking technology, and has multiple adjustable radio frequencies. The RRM method can switch the working channels of these radio frequencies to optimize the network performance of the target AP. The radio frequency to be adjusted can be all of the multiple adjustable radio frequencies, or it can be a part of them. For example, the radio frequency to be adjusted of the AP can be determined among the radio frequencies of the target AP based on the operating status, networking status (for example, which radio frequencies are participating in MLO networking) or current channel quality (for example, which radio frequencies have a current channel quality below a preset threshold) of the radio frequencies of the target AP. In the following text, the embodiment of the present disclosure will be described by taking the application scenario of "AC+AP" networking and the target AP having two radio frequencies to be adjusted, 2.4GHz and 5GHz, as an example.

[0087] Step S102: for each radio frequency to be adjusted, a corresponding proposed switching channel is determined for the current working channel of the AP under the radio frequency to be adjusted.

[0088] See also Figure 2, which shows a network scenario based on "AC+AP" networking, where AC manages three AP devices AP1, AP2, and AP3 that support MLO networking, where AP1 and AP2 are located in the same room, and AP3 is located in another room, and the two rooms are far apart. When the method is executed by the target AP (for example, each AP device uses itself as the target AP to execute the above method), the target AP can use the radio frequency that the device has and can be used for MLO networking as the radio frequency to be adjusted, and determine the intended switching channel for each radio frequency to be adjusted, for example, the 2.4GHz channel is switched from channel 1 (current working channel) to channel 6 (intended switching channel), and the 5GHz channel is switched from channel 36 (current working channel) to channel 149 (intended switching channel). However, when the method is performed by an independent management device of the target AP (for example Figure 2 When AC in the MLO network is executed, the radio frequency of each AP that can be used for MLO networking can be used as the radio frequency to be adjusted, and then for each radio frequency to be adjusted of each AP, the proposed switching channel of the AP under the radio frequency to be adjusted (that is, the adjustment target of the working channel of the radio frequency to be adjusted) can be determined.

[0089] It should be understood that the proposed switching channel may be the same as the current working channel or different from the current working channel. If only some of the radio frequencies to be adjusted need channel adjustment (for example, only some of the radio frequencies have poor current working channels, or their current working channels interfere with other APs in the environment), then the proposed switching channels of those radio frequencies to be adjusted that do not require channel adjustment can be considered to be consistent with the current working channels; or, it can be considered that these radio frequencies that do not require channel adjustment are not "radio frequencies to be adjusted", and these radio frequencies that do not require channel adjustment are no longer considered during the current execution of the method, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0090] Optionally, the above is the current working channel under the above radio frequency to be adjusted, and determining the corresponding proposed switching channel may exemplarily include the following two optional methods:

[0091] The first optional method: According to the channel quality of each channel of the target AP under the radio frequency to be adjusted, the corresponding intended switching channel is determined for the current working channel under the radio frequency to be adjusted. The channel quality can be evaluated by parameters in dimensions such as signal-to-noise ratio, bit error rate, and channel utilization. Assuming that the target AP is currently working on channel 1, if the evaluation results in dimensions such as signal-to-noise ratio, bit error rate, and channel utilization show that the channel quality of channel 1 is not ideal, channel 6 can be selected as the intended switching channel.

[0092] The second optional method: According to the interference relationship between each AP in the network environment where the target AP is located (that is, the interference relationship between the target AP and each other AP in the network environment), the corresponding intended switching channel is determined for the current working channel under the radio frequency to be adjusted. Among them, the interference relationship (in some cases, no interference can also be regarded as a kind of "interference relationship") can be evaluated based on channel utilization or "neighbor AP interference detection" (for example, through mutual detection between APs, the position relationship between different APs is known, that is, "whether there are several APs whose signals interfere with each other"). Assume that the target AP (for example Figure 2 The 5 GHz radio module of AP1 in FIG. 1 is currently operating on channel 36, and interference detection finds that the neighboring AP (e.g. Figure 2 AP2 in the figure has an interference relationship with the target AP (one AP can detect the signal of another AP), and the neighboring AP's current working channel is also channel 36 (which may cause stronger interference). Then channel 149 can be selected as the proposed switching channel for AP2 (while AP1's channel can still be maintained as channel 36), so that the working channels between adjacent APs are as different as possible.

[0093] The above two exemplary methods can be applied separately or in combination. For example, the proposed switching channel of each radio frequency to be adjusted can be jointly determined based on the reference quantity in at least one dimension mentioned above. Through the above various exemplary methods, the channel switching effect in the multi-link operation network scenario is ensured, and the adaptability to the actual application scenario is strong, thereby improving the overall network performance and user experience.

[0094] Step S103: uniformly control the at least one AP to switch the current working channel of each radio frequency to be adjusted to the corresponding channel to be switched.

[0095] When the target AP switches the channel of each radio frequency to be adjusted, it uniformly switches the current working channel of each radio frequency to be adjusted to the corresponding intended switching channel (at this time, the intended switching channel corresponding to each radio frequency to be adjusted of the target AP has been determined in step S102, so the intended switching channel of each radio frequency can be directly applied when switching channels). In other words, in the channel switching process of the target AP, the channel switching process of each radio frequency to be adjusted is logically carried out simultaneously or continuously. This can be understood as that when the target AP switches the channel of each radio frequency to be adjusted, it can choose the execution method with the shortest time cost to switch the current working channel of each radio frequency to be adjusted to the corresponding intended switching channel. For example, if the software driver of the radio frequency module supports multi-threaded operation, then these instructions can be directly issued at the same time; or these instructions can be issued in sequence and continuously, and the order of issuing instructions is not limited (the target of issuing instructions can be the above-mentioned software driver). Specifically, the channel switching instructions (used to instruct switching of the working channel of the radio frequency to be adjusted) of each radio frequency to be adjusted can be continuously sent to the software driver of the target AP (used to drive the radio frequency module of the target AP) through the relevant functions in the operating system ioctl (Input / Output Control), so as to realize the channel switching of multiple radio frequencies in the shortest possible time (of course, "as short as possible" is only used as a guide to realize the above method, not as a specific limitation).

[0096] In addition, when the target AP switches the current working channel under each radio frequency to be adjusted to the corresponding intended switching channel, the functional interface used by the target AP for channel adjustment can be locked (for example, a lock is added around the code segment that calls ioctl to switch the channel, or the functional interface is set to be called only by the module of the execution method), so that the target AP can suppress (block) those channel switching instructions that do not come from steps S101 to S103 (that is, the "intended switching channel" does not come from the RRM method provided by the present disclosure) in the process of switching the current working channel under each radio frequency to be adjusted to the corresponding intended switching channel (that is, instructions for instructing channel switching, which may come from manual issuance by the user, or other algorithms with similar functions), so as to complete the channel switching in step S103 in the shortest possible time, and then complete the RRM channel optimization process as much as possible during the period from the terminal device going offline to re-detection and connection, so as to avoid the situation where the terminal has to go offline and go online again after going online due to the incomplete channel switching of some radio frequencies.

[0097] When the method is executed by the target AP itself, after determining the intended switching channel under each of its own radio frequencies to be adjusted, the target AP can generate corresponding instructions and directly complete the channel switching process through the relevant functions inside the target AP. When the method is executed by a management device other than the target AP (that is, the above-mentioned network device is a management device that manages the above-mentioned target AP), the above-mentioned unified control of the at least one AP to switch the current working channel under each radio frequency to be adjusted to the corresponding intended switching channel may include: sending a channel intended switching instruction to the at least one AP, so that the at least one AP uniformly switches the current working channel under each radio frequency to be adjusted to the corresponding intended switching channel when performing channel switching on each radio frequency to be adjusted.

[0098] The channel switching instruction here can be used to indicate the switching channel corresponding to each radio frequency to be adjusted. Figure 3 , the AC can send the 2.4GHz and 5GHz proposed switching channels (specifically, their channel identifiers) to the target AP. When the control module inside the target AP receives the instruction, it can parse out the 2.4GHz and 5GHz proposed switching channels of the two radio frequencies, and directly control the radio frequency module to drive the RRM channel switching of the two radio frequencies to be adjusted.

[0099] It is worth noting that the above “sending a channel switching instruction to the at least one AP” is a logical process and does not necessarily refer to a complete instruction. Several exemplary execution methods of step S103 are further provided below.

[0100] The first exemplary implementation method: after determining the corresponding intended switching channel for the current working channel under each radio frequency to be adjusted, sending a centralized channel switching instruction to the at least one AP, so that when the at least one AP performs channel switching on each radio frequency to be adjusted, the current working channel under each radio frequency to be adjusted is uniformly switched to the corresponding intended switching channel, wherein the centralized channel switching instruction indicates the intended switching channel corresponding to the current working channel under each radio frequency to be adjusted.

[0101] The above method first determines the intended switching channel corresponding to each radio frequency, and then sends a centralized channel switching instruction to the target AP as a whole (the adjustment parameters of all radio frequencies that need to be adjusted by the AP are organized into a command message, which is sent to the AP through a message sending module, that is, the command message carries the intended switching channel corresponding to each radio frequency), thereby realizing the centralized management of channel switching (of course, these intended switching channels can also be sent as multiple command messages, which is not limited in this disclosure). This method only requires a small number of command sending times to complete the coordination between different devices, thereby improving the overall efficiency of channel switching, improving the efficiency of channel switching, and reducing the workload and power consumption on the target AP side.

[0102] A second exemplary implementation mode: before the channel switching instruction is sent to the at least one AP, the method further includes: sending a channel switching preparation instruction to the at least one AP so that the at least one AP enters an instruction waiting state. The sending of the channel switching instruction to the at least one AP so that the at least one AP switches the current working channels under each radio frequency to be adjusted to the corresponding switching channels when performing channel switching on each radio frequency to be adjusted may include: after determining the corresponding switching channels for each current working channel under a preset number of radio frequencies to be adjusted, sending a channel switching sub-instruction indicating the switching channels corresponding to the current working channels under the preset number of radio frequencies to be adjusted to the at least one AP; after determining the corresponding switching channels for the current working channels under each radio frequency to be adjusted, sending a channel switching execution instruction to the at least one AP so that the at least one AP enters an instruction execution state; wherein each AP is used to switch the current working channels under each radio frequency to be adjusted to the corresponding switching channels when the AP performs channel switching on each radio frequency to be adjusted based on the channel switching sub-instruction received in the instruction waiting state in the instruction execution state.

[0103] In a simplified way of understanding, the above-mentioned second exemplary method can be understood as that the management device determines the corresponding intended switching channels for each current working channel under a preset number of radio frequencies to be adjusted, and sends a channel switching sub-instruction indicating the intended switching channels corresponding to the current working channels under the preset number of radio frequencies to be adjusted to the above-mentioned target AP, and after determining the corresponding intended switching channels for the current working channels under each radio frequency to be adjusted, sends a channel switching execution instruction to the above-mentioned target AP, so that when the target AP switches the channels of each radio frequency to be adjusted, based on the received channel switching sub-instruction (that is, the channel switching sub-instruction received during the period from the last time the channel switching execution instruction was received (or the device was powered on) to the current time when the channel switching execution instruction is received), the current working channel under each radio frequency to be adjusted is switched to the corresponding intended switching channel.

[0104] The second exemplary method mentioned above sends a channel switching sub-instruction for each radio frequency to be adjusted, and sends a channel switching execution instruction after all the intended switching channels are determined (for example, the management device can generate a preparatory instruction first, then generate a intended switching instruction, and finally generate an execution instruction after receiving the adjustment parameter information for indicating the adjustment of the AP working channel, and these instructions are sent to the AP through the sending module), so that the target AP can complete the reception of channel information more reliably, so that the AP can prepare for channel switching earlier (but before receiving the channel switching execution instruction, no real channel switching operation is performed, and no de-association message is sent to each terminal), and reduces the memory overhead and computing power overhead of the management device (the instruction sorting work of each AP is completed by each AP itself), and has strong adaptability to large-scale networking and high performance. It should be understood that the "instruction execution state" mentioned above can refer to the process in which the target AP completes the channel update work for each radio frequency to be adjusted in step S103 (i.e., step S402 below), and after completing this work, the AP can return to a normal state and wait to enter the next instruction waiting state.

[0105] In the above implementation, the target channels of the AP on different radio frequencies are uniformly determined and then uniformly switched. It can also be understood that when a certain radio frequency needs to switch channels, it checks whether other radio frequencies need to switch channels at the same time. If so, the working channels of these radio frequencies are uniformly switched to avoid the working channels of different radio frequencies being switched independently of each other in the future. Based on this, it adapts to the technical scenario of "establishing connections based on multiple radio frequencies at the same time" brought about by the "multi-link operation" introduced in the Wi-Fi 7 protocol, so that when the network environment deteriorates and the AP needs to switch channels, it will not uncontrollably switch channels for each radio frequency at different time nodes. In other words, every time the channel of a radio frequency is switched, the working channel of each radio frequency to be adjusted is directly and continuously switched, so as to complete the channel switching of multiple radio frequencies as much as possible within the time period of the device going offline and reconnecting, and avoid the need for the device to go offline and online again during the channel switching process of other radio frequencies. This not only reduces the probability of network instability, packet loss, and disconnection caused by frequent reestablishment of the network connection between the AP and the terminal, thereby improving the user experience, but also reduces the power consumption of the terminal by reducing the number of network reconnections of the terminal, helping to extend the battery life of the terminal.

[0106] The second aspect of the present disclosure provides a wireless resource management method corresponding to the embodiment of the first aspect, which is applied to an AP (which may be the target AP mentioned above) in a wireless network, where the wireless network is in a multi-link operation mode; see Figure 4 , the above method may include steps S401 to S402:

[0107] Step S401: obtaining a proposed switching channel corresponding to a current working channel of a plurality of radio frequencies to be adjusted on the AP.

[0108] The channel to be switched may come from the AP (in this case, the AP itself is the management device of the AP), or may come from a management device or other network device independent of the AP.

[0109] Step S402: uniformly switch the current working channels of the radio frequencies to be adjusted to the corresponding channels to be switched.

[0110] At this time, the intended switching channels corresponding to the various radio frequencies to be adjusted of the target AP have been obtained in step S401, so the intended switching channels of each radio frequency can be directly applied when performing channel switching. For details, please refer to the relevant description above. Among them, "unified switching" can be understood as simultaneously or continuously switching the working channels of each radio frequency to the corresponding intended switching channels.

[0111] The above-mentioned second aspect implementation can complement and contrast with the first aspect implementation, so the details thereof will not be repeated here. The statements related to the target AP in the first aspect implementation are restated with the target AP as the execution subject, so that at least part of the content in the above-mentioned second aspect implementation can be obtained (vice versa; of course, when the method shown in the first aspect implementation is executed by the target AP itself, the first aspect implementation can be combined with the second aspect implementation). For example, corresponding to the part in the first aspect implementation in which the management device sends a channel switching sub-instruction to the target AP (i.e., the second exemplary execution method described above), the method provided in the second aspect of the present disclosure can further include:

[0112] The above-mentioned obtaining of the intended switching channels corresponding to the current working channels under the multiple radio frequencies to be adjusted on the above-mentioned AP includes: upon receiving the channel switching preparation instruction sent by the management device that manages the above-mentioned AP, entering the instruction waiting state, and receiving the channel switching sub-instruction sent by the above-mentioned management device, wherein the above-mentioned channel switching sub-instruction indicates the intended switching channels corresponding to the current working channels under the preset number of radio frequencies to be adjusted. The above-mentioned uniformly switching the current working channels under each radio frequency to be adjusted to the corresponding intended switching channels may include: upon receiving the channel switching execution instruction sent by the above-mentioned management device, entering the instruction execution state, and based on the channel switching sub-instruction received in the above-mentioned instruction waiting state, when the target AP performs channel switching on each radio frequency to be adjusted, switching the current working channels under each radio frequency to be adjusted to the corresponding intended switching channels; wherein the above-mentioned channel switching sub-instruction is sent by the above-mentioned management device each time it determines the corresponding intended switching channels for the current working channels under the preset number of radio frequencies to be adjusted, and the above-mentioned channel switching execution instruction is sent by the above-mentioned management device after determining the corresponding intended switching channels for the current working channels under each radio frequency to be adjusted.

[0113] When receiving the channel switching preparation instruction, the AP can save all the channel switching sub-instructions received in the current instruction receiving state. When the AP receives the channel switching execution instruction, it means that the management device has sent all the channel switching sub-instructions. At this time, the parameters of all the saved switching instructions can be integrated and sent to the software driver of the radio frequency module to control the simultaneous switching of the two radio frequencies (to make the switching interval of different radio frequencies as short as possible). At this time, the AP (i.e., the target AP) can complete the reception of channel information more reliably so that it can prepare for channel switching earlier (but before receiving the channel switching execution instruction, no real channel switching operation is performed and no de-association message is sent to each terminal), and the memory overhead and computing power overhead of the management device are reduced (the instruction sorting work of each AP is completed by each AP itself), and the adaptability to large-scale networking is strong and the performance is high.

[0114] In addition, in this case, the above method may further include at least one of the following steps:

[0115] Item 1: If the channel switching execution instruction is not received within a preset time period after the channel switching preparation instruction is received, the channel switching preparation instruction is discarded.

[0116] In other words, the channel switching preparation instruction can have a valid duration, that is, it is considered that the process of the management device sending each channel switching sub-instruction until sending the channel switching execution instruction can usually be completed within the valid duration. Therefore, if the AP does not receive the channel switching execution instruction within this valid duration, it can be considered that the management device or the communication between the AP and the management device has fluctuated or failed, then the currently received channel switching preparation instruction and channel switching sub-instruction can be discarded (and the instruction waiting state can be exited, such as returning to the normal state), so as to avoid the incomplete information carried in these instructions and the complete but erroneous information from affecting the normal operation of the AP, and also avoid the problem of incomplete channel update caused by only receiving part of the channel switching sub-instructions (for example, if only the intended switching channel corresponding to 2.4GHz is received, then when executing step S402, it cannot be ensured that "the current working channels under each radio frequency to be adjusted have been updated to the corresponding intended switching channels", then if there is a problem with 5GHz in a short period of time, it is necessary to execute the method again, causing the terminal to go offline multiple times).

[0117] The second item: when not in the above instruction waiting state, discard the currently received channel switching sub-instruction.

[0118] Item 3: When not in the above instruction waiting state, discard the currently received channel switching execution instruction.

[0119] The second and third optional steps mentioned above can be understood as if a channel switching sub-instruction or a channel switching execution instruction is directly received without receiving a channel switching preparation instruction, then these instructions can be discarded (and the instruction execution state or instruction waiting state is not entered). In other words, the channel switching sub-instruction and channel switching execution instruction received when not in the instruction waiting state can be discarded or ignored. The principle is the same as the first optional step, both of which are to avoid the impact of erroneous instructions on the normal operation of the AP, and also to avoid the problem of incomplete channel update, which will not be repeated here.
