Its core features include: no fixed broadband required, making it suitable for outdoor use, travel, and temporary work environments. It supports simultaneous connection of multiple devices, meeting the needs of families and teams. Compared to carriers' mobile data plans, some portable Wi-Fi devices offer more flexible data plans. With the widespread adoption of mobile internet, users' demands for network coverage and stability have increased. Early devices supporting only a single frequency band (such as 2.4GHz) have evolved to dual-band (2.4GHz + 5GHz) and multi-mode (4G / 5G) devices, gradually incorporating advanced technologies such as AI optimization and load balancing. Traditional portable Wi-Fi coverage and stability are insufficient in complex environments or areas with severe signal interference. A multi-mode integrated portable Wi-Fi signal enhancement method is needed to improve signal stability.

[0003] Portable Wi-Fi signal management solutions typically use fixed channel allocation, such as default channels, which cannot adapt to dynamic environmental changes and cannot dynamically adjust channels based on real-time signal quality.

The trained neural network model uses these maps to identify whether the network status in the grid is stable or unstable. At every preset time interval, the portable WiFi comprehensive coefficient is obtained. If the comprehensive coefficients of more than 10% of the portable WiFi in the grid exceed 0.85, the network status in the grid is judged to be unstable; otherwise, the network status is judged to be stable; If the network status in a grid is judged to be unstable, the backup mobile relay node is called to move to the corresponding grid and provide support as an equal mobile relay node.

[0020] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] See also Figure 1-Figure 2 The first embodiment of the present invention provides a multi-mode fusion portable WiFi signal enhancement method, comprising the following steps: Obtain the location information of the portable WiFi managed in the area, locate the portable WiFi in the area on the regional map, divide the area into grids, and set mobile relay nodes in the grids; The portable WiFi switches to different signal connection modes according to the environmental mobile data, mobile relay node WiFi signal and the signal strength of the connectable WiFi signal in the environment, and detects the signal strength data and operation data; Receive the signal strength data and operation data of the portable WiFi in the grid through the mobile relay node and upload it to the cloud data analysis module; The cloud data analysis module obtains the portable WiFi background data through mobile relay nodes to analyze the portable WiFi connection device signal demand coefficient, channel interference coefficient and environmental complexity coefficient. Based on the mobile relay node operation data, it generates the environmental interference heat map, 3D signal heat map and device distribution map of the mobile relay nodes in the grid; Based on the location and various coefficients of the portable WiFi connected to the mobile relay node within the grid, and based on the Q-Learning model, the optimal channel combination is selected at preset time intervals. At each preset time interval, the cloud data analysis module analyzes the image data generated by different grids and the various coefficients of the portable WiFi to analyze the network load stability of the mobile relay node and provide grid support.

[0022] Specifically, by locating portable Wi-Fi devices on a regional map and combining it with gridding technology, administrators can monitor device distribution in real time. The deployment of mobile relay nodes further optimizes signal coverage, ensuring device connectivity, especially in complex terrain or signal-dead zones. Portable Wi-Fi devices automatically switch to the optimal connection mode based on ambient mobile data, relay node signal strength, and surrounding Wi-Fi signal quality. This mechanism significantly improves network stability and reliability, particularly in densely populated areas or with significant signal interference. Users no longer need to manually switch networks when using portable Wi-Fi; the system automatically selects the optimal signal source to ensure continuous and stable network connectivity. This feature significantly enhances the user experience, making it particularly suitable for scenarios requiring high network quality, such as mobile office and online education. The system collects real-time signal strength and operational data from portable Wi-Fi devices to provide data support for network optimization. By analyzing signal strength trends, it can provide early warning of potential network issues and make targeted adjustments to relay node layout or signal parameters to avoid wasted resources.

[0023] By analyzing the channel interference coefficient and the environmental complexity coefficient in real time, an environmental interference heat map is generated, which can intuitively present the distribution of signal interference intensity. Interference hotspots, such as microwave ovens and Bluetooth devices, can be clearly displayed, allowing targeted channel adjustments or deployment of relay nodes to reduce signal conflicts. For example, in shopping malls or exhibition scenarios, heat maps can clearly show interference peaks in crowded areas. 3D signal heat maps combine signal strength data with device location to generate a three-dimensional signal coverage model, visually showing how signal strength changes with height and distance. Device distribution maps are updated in real time, visually presenting user density and device distribution patterns, assisting in capacity planning and resource scheduling. Statistical heat maps and device distribution maps provide an intuitive data visualization interface to help managers quickly understand the status of the grid network.

[0024] Based on the location and various coefficients of the portable WiFi connected to the mobile relay node within the grid, and based on the Q-Learning model, the optimal channel combination is selected at preset time intervals. At each preset time interval, the cloud data analysis module analyzes the image data generated by different grids and the various coefficients of the portable WiFi to analyze the network load stability of the mobile relay node and provide grid support.

[0025] Q-Learning uses continuous trial-and-error learning to adjust channel selection strategies in real time, adapting to dynamically changing signal environments. Traditional static channel allocation can easily lead to interference between adjacent grids. Q-Learning dynamically switches to low-interference channel combinations. Through iterative learning over a preset time period, the model quickly finds the optimal channel strategy and minimizes signal attenuation. For example, at large events where user density fluctuates over time, Q-Learning can dynamically switch channels to avoid network lag caused by channel overload.

[0026] By combining various coefficients of the portable WiFi and analyzing the network load stability of the mobile relay node, grid support can be provided in a timely manner when the grid is under load pressure, ensuring the signal strength of the portable WiFi signal within the grid.

[0029] Specifically, in this embodiment, a 10-20m grid is set in commercial areas to capture small signal changes, a 100-200m grid is set in residential areas, and a 500m grid is set in other public areas.

[0030] In one embodiment of the present invention, the portable WiFi switches different signal connection modes according to the environmental mobile data, the mobile relay node WiFi signal, and the signal strength of the connectable WiFi signal, and detects the signal strength data and operation data, including the following steps: Real-time monitoring of mobile data signals, relay node WiFi signal strength, and ambient WiFi signal strength, with a sampling frequency of 200ms / time; When the signal strength of the mobile relay node WiFi signal or the environment can connect to the WiFi signal meets the signal strength requirement of higher than -55dBm and the delay is less than 100ms, the network connection mode of the portable WiFi will be automatically switched from mobile data to WiFi signal connection mode.
