[0002] With the innovative development of space technologies and the deep integration of information and communication frontier technologies with the civilian field, technologies such as satellite communication, satellite navigation, and satellite remote sensing will be deeply applied in various fields. Satellite communication services can achieve full coverage of the communication network over China's territory and territorial waters, can effectively cover areas that cannot be covered by existing terrestrial communications, and are widely used in scenarios such as marine fisheries, emergency rescue, tourism exploration, and the Internet of Things. The wide range of application scenarios fully demonstrates that satellite communication has unique technical capabilities and unparalleled advantages in special scenarios. For example, the Tiantong satellite service has multiple advantages such as security, wide coverage, and diverse terminal categories. All satellites, chips, terminals, etc. used in the Tiantong satellite service are independently developed and produced in China, which can effectively guarantee the communication security of customers; it can achieve network coverage of China's land and sea, and can communicate freely in extremely harsh environments such as high mountains, oceans, and deserts. At the same time, it is convenient to dial using the Tiantong satellite service, has multiple terminal spectra such as handheld, vehicle-mounted, ship-mounted, and airborne, and supports satellite + full-netcom dual-mode terminals. Therefore, it can be predicted that consumer-grade terminals represented by wearable devices, smart cars, and smart robots will explode within a few years with satellite communication integrated, and satellite communication may become a standard feature of various information and communication terminal products such as mobile phones. By integrating a satellite communication chip into a mobile phone, functions such as text messages, data, and voice calls can be realized, and the application scenarios are very extensive.

[0029] Figure 5 is a block diagram of an electronic device shown according to an exemplary embodiment. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0030] The exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, and the examples are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present disclosure. On the contrary, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0031] It should be noted that all actions of obtaining signals, information or data in the present disclosure are carried out on the premise of complying with the corresponding data protection regulations and policies of the country where it is located and obtaining the authorization given by the owner of the corresponding device.

[0032] In the related art, in an electronic device configured with multiple types of communication, a fixed antenna is used to transmit and receive communication signals of each type. Exemplarily, in an electronic device configured with satellite communication and a GPS positioning system, a fixed antenna is used to transmit and receive satellite signals, and a fixed antenna is used to receive GPS signals. That is, regardless of the performance of the antenna for transmission and reception, a fixed antenna is used to implement the transmission and reception of communication signals, which cannot ensure the communication quality and thus results in low communication efficiency.

[0033] In view of this, the present disclosure provides a communication architecture, a communication method, an electronic device, and a storage medium, which can flexibly select an antenna with better performance from multiple antennas for signal transmission and reception during communication, ensure the communication quality, and thus improve the communication efficiency.

[0034] Figure 1 It is a block diagram of a communication architecture shown according to an exemplary embodiment. As Figure 1 shown, the communication architecture may include a radio frequency transceiver 10, a radio frequency transmission link 11, a radio frequency reception link 12, a first switching component 13, and multiple antennas 14. As Figure 1 shown, the radio frequency transceiver 10 is respectively connected to the radio frequency transmission link 11 and the radio frequency reception link 12. The radio frequency transmission link 11 and the radio frequency reception link 12 are respectively connected to the multiple antennas 14 via the first switching component 13.

[0035] In the present disclosure, the radio frequency transceiver 10 is a device capable of receiving and transmitting radio frequency signals. It can be used in various fields such as wireless communication, radio broadcasting, radar systems, etc. The radio frequency transceiver mainly consists of a receiver and a transmitter. The receiver is responsible for receiving radio frequency signals and converting them into electrical signals that can be processed for subsequent signal processing and demodulation. The transmitter is responsible for converting the processed electrical signals into radio frequency signals and transmitting them. The radio frequency transceiver 10 supports transmitting and receiving radio frequency signals in the communication frequency bands to which the radio frequency transmission link 11 and the radio frequency reception link 12 belong, and is connected to the radio frequency transmission link 11 through the output port of the transmitter of the communication to which the radio frequency transmission link 11 belongs, and is connected to the radio frequency reception link 12 through the input port of the receiver of the communication to which the radio frequency reception link 12 belongs.

[0036] Among them, the communication to which the radio frequency transmission link 11 and the radio frequency reception link 12 belong can be denoted as the first communication, that is, the radio frequency transmission link includes the radio frequency transmission link of the first communication, and the radio frequency reception link includes the radio frequency reception link of the first communication. The first communication can be mobile communication, and the mobile communication can include cellular mobile communication or satellite communication. The cellular mobile communication can be 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G, etc. communication. For the convenience of description, the following takes the first communication as satellite communication as an example for description.

[0037] The RF transceiver 10 supports transmitting and receiving RF signals in the satellite communication frequency band, where the satellite communication frequency band can be the L band or the S band. Moreover, the output port of the satellite transmitter of the RF transceiver 10 is connected to the RF transmission link of the satellite communication, and the input port of the satellite receiver of the RF transceiver 10 is connected to the RF reception link of the satellite communication.

[0038] In the present disclosure, the RF transmission link 11 includes at least one power amplifier and at least one first filter, where the power amplifier can be a high-gain power amplifier. The number of the power amplifier and the filter, as well as the connection relationship between the power amplifier and the filter, can be set according to actual requirements, and the present disclosure does not make specific limitations thereon. The RF reception link 12 can include at least one first low-noise amplifier and at least one second filter. Wherein, the number of the low-noise amplifier and the filter, as well as the connection relationship between the low-noise amplifier and the filter, can be set according to actual requirements, and the present disclosure does not make specific limitations thereon.

[0039] The first switching switch is capable of switching the first target antenna connected to the RF transmission link 11 and switching the second target antenna connected to the RF reception link 12, so as to achieve the purpose of transmitting signals through the first target antenna and receiving signals through the second target antenna.

[0040] Adopting the above technical solution, the RF transmission link and the RF reception link are respectively connected to multiple antennas via the first switching component, so that the antennas for transmitting signals and the antennas for receiving signals can be selected from multiple antennas. In this way, the first switching component can flexibly select antennas with better performance from multiple antennas for signal transmission and reception, ensuring the communication quality, and thus improving the communication efficiency.

[0041] In one implementation manner, the communication architecture can include two types of communications. Exemplarily, the RF transmission link 11 includes the RF transmission link of the first communication, the RF reception link 12 includes the RF reception link of the first communication, and the communication architecture can further include the RF reception link of the second communication, where the second communication is different from the first communication. The RF transceiver is also connected to the RF reception link of the second communication; the RF reception link of the second communication is also connected to multiple antennas via the first switching component; the first switching component is also capable of switching the third target antenna for receiving the second communication signal.

[0042] Exemplarily, the first switching component is used to switch the third target antenna connected to the RF reception link of the second communication, so as to receive the second communication signal through the third target antenna.

[0043] Wherein, the second communication can be Global Positioning System (GPS) communication. In addition, the RF reception link of the second communication can include at least one second low-noise amplifier. Wherein, the second low-noise amplifier can be a GPS low-noise amplifier.

[0044] With the above technical solution, the radio frequency receiving link of the second communication is also connected to multiple antennas via the first switching component, and the antenna for receiving the second communication signal can be selected from the multiple antennas. In this way, the first switching component can flexibly select an antenna with better performance from the multiple antennas to receive the second communication signal, ensuring the quality of the second communication, and thus improving the efficiency of the second communication.

[0045] In the present disclosure, the communication architecture may further include a second switching component, and the radio frequency receiving link of the second communication is connected to the first switching component via the second switching component. In this way, the radio frequency receiving link of the second communication is not directly connected to the first switching component, but is connected to the first switching component via the second switching component, which can, to a certain extent, avoid mutual interference between the first communication and the second communication and further improve the communication quality. The second switching component will be described in detail below.

[0046] In the present disclosure, the first switching component may be any device capable of switching among multiple antennas. In one embodiment, the first switching component 13 may include a first switch component. The input ends of the first switch component are respectively connected to the radio frequency transmitting link of the first communication, the radio frequency receiving link of the first communication, and the radio frequency receiving link of the second communication, and the output ends of the first switch component are respectively connected to multiple antennas.

[0047] That is to say, the radio frequency transmitting link of the first communication, the radio frequency receiving link of the first communication, and the radio frequency receiving link of the second communication are connected to multiple antennas via the first switch component. Therefore, a switch component with a relatively simple structure and low hardware cost can be used to select an antenna with better transceiver performance from multiple antennas for communication.

[0048] Exemplarily, the first switch component includes multiple contact ends and multiple fixed ends, and each contact end can contact any one of the multiple fixed ends; the first contact end of the first switch component is connected to the radio frequency transmitting link of the first communication, the second contact end of the first switch component is connected to the radio frequency receiving link of the first communication, the third contact end of the first switch component is connected to the radio frequency receiving link of the second communication, the multiple fixed ends of the first switch component are respectively connected to multiple antennas, and the first contact end and the second contact end are different.

[0049] In one embodiment, the first switch assembly may include a plurality of single-pole single-throw switches. For example, assuming the number of antennas 14 is n, the number of the plurality of single-pole single-throw switches may be 3n. Among them, the contact ends (i.e., the moving ends) of the first to the nth single-pole single-throw switches are connected to the radio frequency transmitting link of the first communication, and the fixed ends (i.e., the non-moving ends) of the first to the nth single-pole single-throw switches are respectively connected to the n antennas 14 one by one. The contact ends of the (n + 1)th to the 2nth single-pole single-throw switches are connected to the radio frequency receiving link of the first communication, and the fixed ends of the (n + 1)th to the 2nth single-pole single-throw switches are respectively connected to the n antennas 14 one by one. The contact ends of the (2n + 1)th to the 3nth single-pole single-throw switches are connected to the radio frequency receiving link of the second communication, and the fixed ends of the (2n + 1)th to the 3nth single-pole single-throw switches are respectively connected to the n antennas 14 one by one. In this way, the purpose of transmitting and receiving the first communication signal and receiving the second communication signal through any antenna can be achieved by separately controlling the closing of each single-pole single-throw switch.

[0050] It should be understood that the reception and transmission of the first communication signal are not simultaneous, and the first communication and the second communication are not simultaneous either.

[0051] In another embodiment, the first switch assembly may include a multi-pole multi-throw switch. For example, the first contact end, the second contact end, and the third contact end in the multi-pole multi-throw switch are respectively connected to the radio frequency transmitting link of the first communication, the radio frequency receiving link of the first communication, and the radio frequency receiving link of the second communication, and the plurality of fixed ends in the multi-pole multi-throw switch are respectively connected to the plurality of antennas.

[0052] In the present disclosure, the first contact end is different from the second contact end. For example, the third contact end may be another contact end that is different from both the first contact end and the second contact end. In this way, the above multi-pole multi-throw switch is at least a three-pole multi-throw switch. Another example is that the third contact end may also be the same as the first contact end or the second contact end. At this time, the multi-pole multi-throw switch may be a two-pole multi-throw switch. The following description is given by taking the example that the third contact end may be the same as the first contact end or the second contact end.

[0053] In one embodiment, the target contact end is the first contact end or the second contact end, and the third contact end is connected to the target contact end; the communication architecture further includes a second switching component; the radio frequency receiving link of the second communication and the target link are respectively connected to the target contact end via the second switching component, where when the target contact end is the first contact end, the target link is the radio frequency transmitting link of the first communication, and when the target contact end is the second contact end, the target link is the radio frequency receiving link of the first communication; the second switching component can switch the link connected to the target contact end, where at the same time, one link is connected to the target contact end.

[0054] It should be understood that in the present disclosure, the target contact end can be the first contact end or the second contact end. However, considering that the RF transmission power in satellite communication is relatively large and can cause loss to the low-noise amplifier in the GPS RF receiving link, in order to avoid loss to the components in the GPS RF receiving link, preferably, when the first communication is satellite communication and the second communication is GPS communication, the target contact end can be the first contact end. That is, the RF transmission link of the first communication and the RF receiving link of the second communication are respectively connected to the second switching component to avoid the loss of the transmitted signal of satellite communication to the components in the GPS RF receiving link.

[0055] Considering that the communication architecture provided in the present disclosure is usually set on an electronic device, due to the small volume of the electronic device, the distance between multiple antennas is relatively close, and the coupling strength between the antennas is relatively large, resulting in poor isolation between the first communication and the second communication. When the first communication is satellite communication and the second communication is GPS communication, the satellite signal transmitted by the satellite causes relatively large interference to the GPS signal. To avoid interference, usually an independent GPIO detection circuit is designed, and this detection circuit shuts off the GPS receiving path when detecting the transmitted satellite signal, that is, stops receiving the GPS signal. Thus, due to the need for an additional GPIO detection circuit, the structure of the communication architecture is relatively large, occupying a large space, and it will also increase the design workload of the communication architecture. Therefore, in the present disclosure, by using the second switching component, the RF receiving link of the second communication and the RF transmission link of the first communication are connected to the first contact end of the first switching component via the second switching component, improving the isolation between the first communication and the second communication.

[0056] Exemplarily, the target contact end is the first contact end. That is, the RF receiving link of satellite communication and the RF transmission link of GPS communication are connected to the first contact end of the first switching component via the second switching component, and the RF receiving link of satellite communication is connected to the second contact end of the first switching component. The second switching component can switch the link connected to the first contact end, and only one link is connected to the first contact end at the same time. In this way, simultaneous first communication and second communication can be avoided, and thus communication interference between different types can be avoided.

[0057] Considering that the communication architecture provided by the present disclosure is usually set on an electronic device, due to the small volume of the electronic device, the distance between multiple antennas is relatively close, and the coupling strength between the antennas is relatively large, resulting in poor isolation between the first communication and the second communication. When the first communication is satellite communication and the second communication is GPS communication, the satellite signal transmitted by the satellite interferes greatly with the GPS signal. To avoid interference, usually an independent GPIO detection circuit is designed, and when the satellite signal is detected, the GPS receiving path is turned off, that is, the reception of the GPS signal is stopped. Thus, due to the need for an additional GPIO detection circuit, the structure of the communication architecture is relatively large and occupies a large space, and it also increases the design workload of the communication architecture. Therefore, in the present disclosure, the isolation between the first communication and the second communication can be improved by using a second switching component to connect the RF receiving link of the second communication and the RF transmitting link of the first communication to the first contact end of the first switching component via the second switching component.

[0058] In one implementation, the second switching component includes a second switch component, and the second switch component includes a plurality of contact ends and at least one fixed end; any two of the plurality of contact ends of the second switch component are respectively connected to the RF receiving link of the second communication and the target link, and at least one fixed end of the second switch component is connected to the target contact end.

[0059] Exemplarily, the second switch component includes a fourth contact end, a fifth contact end and at least one fixed end, wherein the fourth contact end is connected to the RF receiving link of the second communication, the fifth contact end is connected to the target link, and at least one fixed end is connected to the target contact end.

[0060] For example, the second switch component may include two separate single-pole single-throw switches. The moving end of one single-pole single-throw switch is denoted as the fourth contact end, and the moving end of the other single-pole single-throw switch is denoted as the fifth contact end. The RF receiving link of the second communication is connected to the fourth contact end, the target link is connected to the fifth contact end, and the two fixed ends of the two single-pole single-throw switches are both connected to the target contact end.

[0061] To further improve the isolation between the first communication and the second communication, for another example, the second switch component may include a single-pole double-throw switch SPDT, wherein the single-pole double-throw switch SPDT can be a switch that can withstand high power and has a high isolation degree, and the single-pole double-throw switch SPDT can also be any switch with a multi-pair one-port connection method. The single-pole double-throw switch SPDT includes a fourth contact end, a fifth contact end and a fixed end. The RF receiving link of the second communication is connected to the fourth contact end, the RF target link of the first communication is connected to the fifth contact end, and the fixed end of the single-pole double-throw switch is connected to the target contact end.

[0062] Figure 2is a schematic diagram of a communication architecture shown according to an exemplary embodiment. As Figure 2 shown, a plurality of antennas include antenna ANT0 and antenna ANT1. The communication architecture may include a radio frequency (RF) transmission link for a first communication, an RF reception link for the first communication, an RF reception link for a second communication, and a second switch component. The second switch component may be a single-pole double-throw (SPDT) switch, and the first switch component may be a double-pole double-throw (DPDT) switch. Among them, the DPDT switch may be a high-power-tolerant switch and a switch with a multi-to-multi port connection method.

[0063] As Figure 2 shown, the RF transceiver is respectively connected to the RF transmission link for the first communication, the RF reception link for the first communication, and the RF reception link for the second communication. The RF transmission link for the first communication is connected to one contact end of the SPDT switch. The RF reception link for the second communication is connected to the other contact end of the SPDT switch. The fixed end of the SPDT switch is connected to the first contact end in the DPDT switch, and the RF reception link for the first communication is connected to the second contact end in the DPDT switch. The two fixed ends in the DPDT switch are respectively connected to antenna ANT0 and antenna ANT1. In addition, in Figure 2 , the RF reception link for the second communication may also be connected to the other contact end of the SPDT switch via a band-pass filter to further improve the efficiency and communication quality of the second communication.

[0064] In Figure 2 , the transmission path of the first communication is: RF transceiver, RF transmission link for the first communication, SPDT switch, DPDT switch, antenna. The reception path of the first communication is: RF transceiver, RF reception link for the first communication, DPDT switch, antenna. The reception path of the second communication is: RF transceiver, RF reception link for the second communication, band-pass filter, SPDT switch, DPDT switch, antenna.

[0065] Thus, when transmitting the first communication signal, the SPDT switch is connected to the RF transmission link for the first communication and disconnected from the RF reception link for the second communication. When receiving the second communication signal, the SPDT switch is connected to the RF reception link for the second communication and disconnected from the RF transmission link for the first communication. Among them, the SPDT switch has a high isolation degree. In addition, a band-pass filter is further included in the reception path of the second communication. The band-pass filter plays an inhibitory role, so that the interference of the transmitted first communication signal on the reception path of the second communication is small and can be ignored, thereby avoiding the loss of the low-noise amplifier in the reception path of the second communication.

[0066] With the above technical solution, when the communication architecture supports the first communication and the second communication, the interference problem caused by the coexistence of the first communication and the second communication is solved by introducing a switching component, avoiding the problem of the loss of related devices in the second communication due to the interference of the first communication on the second communication, prolonging the service life of the related devices in the second communication, and further improving the quality of the second communication.

[0067] In the present disclosure, the communication architecture may further include a control component, which is configured to determine a target antenna for transmitting and receiving signals from multiple antennas, and then control the corresponding switching component to switch to the target antenna to achieve the purpose of transmitting and receiving signals on a better antenna. The specific control logic of the control component will be described below.

[0068] The control component is configured to determine the transmission performance and reception performance of each antenna, and determine a first target antenna for transmitting signals and a second target antenna for receiving signals according to the transmission performance and reception performance; the control component is further configured to control the first switching component to connect the radio frequency transmission link to the first target antenna, and connect the radio frequency reception link to the second target antenna.

[0069] In the present disclosure, the transmission performance may be characterized by a power parameter, and the reception performance may be characterized by a received signal strength indication (RSSI) parameter.

[0070] In one implementation, in response to receiving a communication start instruction, signals are transmitted and received through each antenna to determine the transmission performance and reception performance of each antenna. For example, when receiving the communication start instruction, signals are alternately received and transmitted on each antenna to obtain the transmission performance and reception performance of each antenna. For example, taking the Figure 2 shown communication architecture as an example, first, the radio frequency transmission link of the first communication transmits signals via the single-pole double-throw switch (SPDT) and the double-pole double-throw switch (DPDT) through the antenna ANT0, and the radio frequency reception link of the first communication receives signals via the double-pole double-throw switch (DPDT) through the antenna ANT0, so as to evaluate the transmission performance and reception performance of the antenna ANT0. Among them, the transmission performance and reception performance of the antenna ANT0 are respectively denoted as TX0 and RX0.

[0071] After that, the radio frequency transmission link of the first communication transmits signals via the single-pole double-throw switch (SPDT) and the double-pole double-throw switch (DPDT) through the antenna ANT1, and the radio frequency reception link of the first communication receives signals via the double-pole double-throw switch (DPDT) through the antenna ANT1, so as to evaluate the transmission performance and reception performance of the antenna ANT1. Among them, the transmission performance and reception performance of the antenna ANT1 are respectively denoted as TX1 and RX1.

[0072] In another embodiment, the transmission performance and reception performance of each antenna can also be determined according to the communication quality in the historical communication process.

[0073] After that, the control component determines a first target antenna for transmitting signals and a second target antenna for receiving signals according to the transmission performance and reception performance. Since the same antenna can be used to transmit and receive signals, or different antennas can be used to transmit and receive signals, in the present disclosure, the first target antenna and the second target antenna can be the same or different.

[0074] Finally, the control component controls the first switching component to conduct the loop between the first target antenna and the radio frequency transmission link to transmit signals through the first target antenna, and conducts the loop between the second target antenna and the radio frequency reception link to receive signals through the second target antenna.

[0075] Exemplarily, referring to Figure 2 In [reference], the control component can control the first target fixed end connected to the first target antenna in the double-pole double-throw switch DPDT to contact the first contact end of the double-pole double-throw switch DPDT to conduct the loop between the first target antenna and the radio frequency transmission link, and control the second target fixed end connected to the second target antenna in the double-pole double-throw switch DPDT to contact the second contact end of the double-pole double-throw switch DPDT to conduct the loop between the second target antenna and the radio frequency reception link.

[0076] By adopting the above technical solution, the first target antenna for transmitting signals and the second target antenna for receiving signals can be determined from multiple antennas according to the transmission performance and reception performance of each antenna, and then the first target antenna is used to transmit signals and the second target antenna is used to receive signals, ensuring that the communication quality can meet the user's needs and thus improving the communication efficiency.

[0077] The following describes the specific implementation manner in which the control component determines the first target antenna for transmitting signals and the second target antenna for receiving signals according to the transmission performance and the reception performance.

[0078] In one embodiment, the specific implementation manner of determining the first target antenna for transmitting signals and the second target antenna for receiving signals according to the transmission performance and the reception performance can be: determining the antenna with the optimal transmission performance as the first target antenna, and determining the antenna with the optimal reception performance as the second target antenna.

[0079] Exemplarily, according to the transmission performance of each antenna, the antenna with the optimal transmission performance is determined as the first target antenna for transmitting signals; according to the reception performance of each antenna, the antenna with the optimal reception performance is determined as the second target antenna for receiving signals.

[0080] In this embodiment, considering that the optimal performance best represents the best communication quality, in order to ensure the communication quality, the antenna with the optimal transmission performance can be determined as the first target antenna for transmitting signals, and the antenna with the optimal reception performance can be determined as the second target antenna for receiving signals. Among them, the antenna with the optimal transmission performance can be the antenna with the highest power, and the antenna with the optimal reception performance can be the antenna with the highest RSSI.

[0081] Exemplarily, referring to Figure 2 , assume that the transmission performance and reception performance of antenna ANT0 are denoted as TX0 and RX0 respectively, and the transmission performance and reception performance of antenna ANT1 are denoted as TX1 and RX1 respectively. When TX0 is better than TX1, determine the first target antenna as antenna ANT0. When transmitting signals, switch the transmitting antenna to antenna ANT0, that is, send signals through antenna ANT0. When TX1 is better than TX0, determine the first target antenna as antenna ANT1. When transmitting signals, switch the transmitting antenna to antenna ANT1, that is, send signals through antenna ANT1. When RX0 is better than RX1, determine the second target antenna as antenna ANT0. When receiving signals, switch the receiving antenna to antenna ANT0, that is, receive signals through antenna ANT0. When RX1 is better than RX0, determine the first target antenna as antenna ANT1. When receiving signals, switch the receiving antenna to antenna ANT1, that is, receive signals through antenna ANT1.

[0082] In this embodiment, the first target antenna for transmitting signals and the second target antenna for receiving signals can be determined through a simple switching logic, which simplifies the logic of determining the target antenna.

[0083] However, in the above embodiment, the antennas for receiving signals and transmitting signals determined may be different, and thus the antennas will be frequently switched during the communication process, increasing the workload of antenna switching.

[0084] Therefore, in another embodiment, in order to avoid frequent antenna switching, the specific implementation manner of determining the first target antenna for transmitting signals and the second target antenna for receiving signals according to the transmission performance and the reception performance can be: in response to the difference in the transmission performance of the multiple antennas being less than or equal to the first threshold and the difference in the reception performance being less than or equal to the second threshold, determine any one of the multiple antennas as the first target antenna and the second target antenna.

[0085] When the number of antennas is greater than 2, the difference in the transmission performance of the multiple antennas can be the difference in the transmission performance of the two antennas with the optimal transmission performance among the multiple antennas. The difference in the reception performance of the multiple antennas can be the difference in the reception performance of the two antennas with the optimal reception performance among the multiple antennas.

[0086] When the multiple antennas are the first antenna and the second antenna, the difference in the transmission performance of the multiple antennas may refer to the absolute value of the difference between the transmission performance of the first antenna and the transmission performance of the second antenna. The difference in the reception performance of the multiple antennas may refer to the absolute value of the difference between the reception performance of the first antenna and the reception performance of the second antenna. The first threshold may be the same as or different from the second threshold. By way of example, the first threshold and the second threshold may be the same, both being 3 dB. Assuming that the first antenna is antenna ANT0 and the second antenna is antenna ANT1, when the absolute values of both TX1 - TX0 and RX1 - RX0 are less than or equal to 3 dB, a default antenna is used for signal transmission and reception. The default antenna may be any one of the multiple antennas.

[0087] In this embodiment, the specific implementation manner of determining the first target antenna for transmitting a signal and the second target antenna for receiving a signal according to the transmission performance and the reception performance may further be: in response to the difference in the transmission performance of the multiple antennas being greater than the first threshold, determining the antenna with the optimal transmission performance as the first target antenna, and determining the second target antenna according to the difference in the reception performance of the multiple antennas.

[0088] In this embodiment, considering that in the communication process, the priority of transmission is higher than that of reception, that is, it is ensured that the antenna with the optimal transmission performance is used for transmission in the transmission stage. Therefore, if the difference in the transmission performance of the multiple antennas is greater than the first threshold, the magnitudes of the transmission performances of the multiple antennas may be further determined, and the antenna with the optimal transmission performance is determined as the first target antenna. By way of example, taking the multiple antennas as antenna ANT0 and antenna ANT1, if TX1 is greater than TX0, then antenna ANT1 is determined as the first target antenna; otherwise, antenna ANT0 is determined as the first target antenna.

[0089] In the first implementation manner of this embodiment, determining the second target antenna according to the difference in the reception performance of the multiple antennas may include: in response to the difference in the reception performance of the multiple antennas being less than or equal to the second threshold, determining the antenna with the optimal transmission performance as the second target antenna.

[0090] Continuing with the above example, if TX1 is greater than TX0 and the difference is greater than the first threshold, and the absolute value of the difference between RX1 and TX0 is less than or equal to the second threshold, it is considered that the reception performances of antenna ANT0 and antenna ANT1 do not differ much. At this time, in order to avoid frequent antenna switching during the communication process, antenna ANT1 may be determined as both the first target antenna and the second target antenna.

[0091] In this embodiment, to avoid frequent antenna switching, when the difference in transmission performance among multiple antennas is greater than a first threshold and the difference in reception performance is less than or equal to a second threshold, the antenna with the optimal transmission performance is determined as the first target antenna and the second target antenna. In this way, during the communication process, the signals are transmitted and received using the antenna with the optimal transmission performance respectively, avoiding the drawback of frequent antenna switching.

[0092] In the second implementation manner of this embodiment, determining the second target antenna according to the difference in the reception performance of the multiple antennas may further include: in response to the difference in the reception performance of the multiple antennas being greater than the second threshold, determining the antenna with the optimal reception performance as the second target antenna.

[0093] Continuing with the above example, if the absolute value of the difference between TX1 and TX0 is greater than the first threshold and the absolute value of the difference between RX1 and RX0 is greater than the second threshold, it is considered that the reception performances of antenna ANT0 and antenna ANT1 differ significantly. At this time, to ensure the reception quality of the communication, the antenna with the optimal transmission performance can be determined as the first target antenna, and the antenna with the optimal reception performance can be determined as the second target antenna.

[0094] In the third implementation manner of this embodiment, determining the second target antenna according to the difference in the reception performance of the multiple antennas may further include: in response to the difference in the reception performance of the multiple antennas being greater than the second threshold and less than or equal to a third threshold, determining the antenna with the optimal transmission performance as the second target antenna; and in response to the difference in the reception performance of the multiple antennas being greater than the third threshold, determining the antenna with the optimal reception performance as the second target antenna. For example, the third threshold can be 10 dB.

[0095] Continuing with the above example, when the absolute value of the difference between RX1 and RX0 is greater than 3 dB and less than or equal to 10 dB, and the difference between TX0 and TX1 is greater than 3 dB, antenna ANT0 is determined as the first target antenna and the second target antenna. When the absolute value of the difference between RX1 and RX0 is greater than 10 dB and the difference between TX0 and TX1 is greater than 3 dB, antenna ANT0 is determined as the first target antenna and the antenna with the optimal reception performance is determined as the second target antenna. For example, if RX1 is greater than RX0, antenna NT1 is determined as the second target antenna, or if RX0 is greater than RX1, antenna NT0 is determined as the second target antenna.

[0096] In this embodiment, considering that the receiving performance of multiple antennas varies greatly, if the communication signal is still received by the antenna with the optimal transmitting performance, it may lead to poor communication quality in the receiving stage and fail to meet the user's requirements. Therefore, in this embodiment, when the difference in the transmitting performance of multiple antennas is greater than the first threshold and the difference in the receiving performance of multiple antennas is greater than the third threshold, the antenna with the optimal transmitting performance is determined as the first target antenna, and the antenna with the optimal receiving performance is determined as the second target antenna to ensure the receiving performance during the communication process.

[0097] In addition, when the difference in the transmitting performance of multiple antennas is greater than the first threshold, and the difference in the receiving performance of multiple antennas is greater than the second threshold and less than or equal to the third threshold, only the antenna with the optimal transmitting performance is determined as the first target antenna and the second target antenna. In this case, frequent antenna switching can be avoided.

[0098] In yet another embodiment, the specific implementation manner of determining the first target antenna for transmitting a signal and the second target antenna for receiving a signal according to the transmitting performance and the receiving performance may also be: in response to the difference in the transmitting performance of the multiple antennas being less than or equal to the first threshold and the difference in the receiving performance of the multiple antennas being greater than the second threshold, the antenna with the optimal receiving performance is determined as the first target antenna and the second target antenna.

[0099] In this embodiment, the fact that the difference in the transmitting performance of multiple antennas is less than or equal to the first threshold indicates that the transmitting performances of multiple antennas are not very different. At this time, the target antenna can be determined according to the receiving performance. Optionally, if the difference in the receiving performance of multiple antennas is greater than the second threshold, it indicates that the receiving performances of multiple antennas are quite different. At this time, in order to ensure the communication quality in the receiving stage and to avoid frequent antenna switching, the antenna with the optimal receiving performance can be determined as the first target antenna and the second target antenna.

[0100] Continuing with the above example, assuming that both the first threshold and the second threshold are 3 dB, if the difference between RX1 and RX0 is greater than 3 dB and the absolute value of the difference between TX1 and TX0 is less than or equal to 3 dB, then antenna ANT1 is determined as the first target antenna and the second target antenna. Or, if the difference between RX0 and RX1 is greater than 3 dB and the absolute value of the difference between TX1 and TX0 is less than or equal to 3 dB, then antenna ANT0 is determined as the first target antenna and the second target antenna.

[0101] By adopting the above embodiment, when the transmitting performances of multiple antennas are not very different and the receiving performances are quite different, the antenna with the optimal receiving performance can be determined as the first target antenna and the second target antenna. In this way, on the one hand, the communication quality in the receiving stage can be ensured, and on the other hand, frequent antenna switching can be avoided.

[0102] In addition, in one embodiment, the radio frequency (RF) transmitting link is the RF transmitting link for the first communication, and the RF receiving link is the RF receiving link for the first communication. The communication architecture further includes: an RF receiving link for a second communication, and the RF transceiver is further connected to the RF receiving link for the second communication. The RF receiving link for the second communication is further connected to the plurality of antennas via the first switching component. In this embodiment, the transmitting performance and receiving performance of each of the above-determined antennas are the transmitting performance and receiving performance of each antenna for the first communication, and the determined first target antenna and second target antenna are the first target antenna for transmitting the first communication signal and the second target antenna for receiving the first communication signal, respectively.

[0103] In this embodiment, the control component is further configured to determine the receiving performance of each of the antennas for the second communication, and determine the antenna with the optimal receiving performance for the second communication as the third target antenna corresponding to the second communication. The control component is further configured to control the first switching component to connect the RF receiving link for the second communication to the third target antenna.

[0104] Exemplarily, referring to the above method, when an enabling instruction for the second communication is received, the second communication signal is received on each antenna in sequence to determine the receiving performance of each antenna for the second communication.

[0105] For example, referring to Figure 2 , first, the fourth contact end of the single-pole double-throw (SPDT) switch is in contact with the fixed end. The RF receiving link for the second communication can selectively receive the second communication signal through the SPDT switch and the multi-pole multi-throw (DPDT) switch via antenna ANT0 and antenna ANT1 to obtain the receiving performance of antenna ANT0 and antenna ANT1 for the second communication. Then, if the receiving performance of antenna ANT0 for the second communication is better than that of antenna ANT1 for the second communication, antenna ANT0 is determined as the third target antenna corresponding to the second communication. If the receiving performance of antenna ANT1 for the second communication is better than that of antenna ANT0 for the second communication, antenna ANT1 is determined as the third target antenna corresponding to the second communication. Finally, by controlling the fourth contact end of the second switching component to be in contact with the fixed end, and controlling the third contact end of the first switching component to be in contact with the third target fixed end connected to the target antenna corresponding to the second communication, the purpose of receiving the second communication signal through the third target antenna is achieved.

[0106] By adopting the above technical solution, it is possible to flexibly select an antenna with better receiving performance from multiple antennas as the third target antenna corresponding to the second communication, and realize the purpose of receiving the second communication signal on the third target antenna by connecting the third contact end of the first switch component to the third target fixed end corresponding to the second communication, thereby improving the quality and efficiency of the second communication.

[0107] Based on the same inventive concept, the present disclosure also provides a communication method. Figure 3 is a flowchart of a communication method shown according to an exemplary embodiment. The communication method is applied to a communication architecture, and the communication architecture includes: a radio frequency transceiver, a radio frequency transmission link, a radio frequency reception link, a first switching component, and multiple antennas; the radio frequency transceiver is respectively connected to the radio frequency transmission link and the radio frequency reception link; the radio frequency transmission link and the radio frequency reception link are respectively connected to the multiple antennas via the first switching component. As Figure 3 shown, the communication method may include the following steps.

[0111] In step S33, control the first switching component to connect the radio frequency transmission link to the first target antenna, and connect the radio frequency reception link to the second target antenna.
