Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of wireless communication, more specifically, it relates to the intelligent fusion and switching strategy between Ad-hoc network and 5G network in handheld hybrid terminal. Through detailed monitoring of network status, accurate extraction of business demand and real-time monitoring of battery power, seamless, efficient and intelligent switching between Ad-hoc network and 5G network is realized. Its main application scenarios include but are not limited to various handheld devices such as smartphones, tablet computers, Internet of Things devices, etc. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the rapid development of wireless communication technology, 5G (5th Generation Mobile Communication) technology and Ad-hoc network technology have been widely applied. 5G technology provides high-speed, large-bandwidth communication services, while Ad-hoc network has an irreplaceable role in specific scenarios such as temporary communication, post-disaster communication, unmanned aerial vehicle network, etc. due to its flexibility and adaptability. 5G network and Ad-hoc network each have advantages and disadvantages. 5G network has wide coverage and high transmission rate, but may have poor communication quality in areas with weak signal or incomplete signal coverage. On the contrary, Ad-hoc network has good communication effect in a small range, but may be limited in large-scale or high-bandwidth applications.

[0003] Handheld hybrid terminal devices such as smartphones, tablet computers, etc. are an important part of modern communication, which need to switch between different network environments to ensure user experience. In traditional network switching technology, manual or semi-automatic methods such as network switching based on signal strength are usually used, which cannot fully consider the quality of the network, the business needs of the user and the power of the device, etc., often leading to unsatisfactory network switching decisions and affecting user experience. SUMMARY

[0004] The present application proposes a handheld terminal and switching strategy method for intelligent fusion of Ad-hoc network and 5G network, which intelligently switches between 5G network and Ad-hoc network to maximize the advantages of these two networks and improve user communication experience.

[0005] The present application provides a handheld terminal design for intelligent fusion of Ad-hoc network and 5G network, which includes an Ad-hoc network module, a 5G module, a network detection module, a business extraction module, a power management module and a switching decision module.

[0006] The Ad-hoc network module is used to provide an Ad-hoc network communication link for the handheld hybrid terminal;

[0007] The 5G module is used to provide a 5G communication link for the handheld hybrid terminal;

[0008] Network detection module, for periodically monitoring the channel quality of 5G link and ad hoc network link;

[0009] Service extraction module, for different service types, according to the influence degree of channel switching on application to decide whether to immediately perform channel switching;

[0010] Power management module, for real-time monitoring of the remaining power of the device;

[0011] Switching decision module, according to link quality, battery power, service type, etc. Select ad hoc network link or 5G link as communication link.

[0012] The switching strategy mainly involves the following steps:

[0013] (1) Network detection: In this step, the handheld terminal monitors the strength, signal-to-noise ratio and signal delay of 5G signal and ad hoc network signal according to the set period T (for example 2 minutes), and collects the real-time state of the network.

[0014] (2) Service demand extraction: In this step, the terminal will identify the current service type, and decide the network switching strategy according to the characteristics of the service type. For example, for network switching sensitive services such as telephone calls, the terminal will choose to switch the network after the current service is over. For network switching tolerant services such as streaming media playback, the terminal can immediately switch the network after algorithm calculation.

[0015] (3) Power management: In this step, the terminal will monitor the battery power in real time. If the power is lower than a certain threshold (15%), the terminal will prefer to use the 5G network with lower power consumption. At the same time, in order to save power, when a network (such as ad hoc network) is in standby state, the terminal will reduce the transmission power of the network to the minimum.

[0016] (4) Switching decision: In this step, the above three steps are integrated into a complete workflow. First, the terminal will regularly detect the network state and battery power, and score the ad hoc network and 5G network according to the results. If the battery power is sufficient, the terminal will choose the network with high score for communication. When switching the network, the terminal will consider the current service demand, and decide whether to immediately switch the network or wait until the current service is completed before switching the network. This strategy considers the network state, service demand and power management factors, realizes intelligent switching between 5G network and ad hoc network, improves the communication experience of users, and optimizes the power consumption of the device.

[0018] Figure 2 The present invention designs a decision-making process for intelligent convergence and handover of self-organizing networks and 5G networks.

[0019] Figure 3 Network detection diagram Detailed Implementation

[0020] The technical solutions of this application are further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments. It should be understood that the embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit this application. Furthermore, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other unless otherwise specified.

[0021] Implementation Method 1:

[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, the intelligent converged handheld terminal architecture of self-organizing network and 5G network provided in the embodiment of this application mainly includes: self-organizing network module, 5G module, network detection module, service extraction module, power management module, and handover decision module;

[0023] The self-organizing network module provides a self-organizing network communication link for the handheld converged terminal;

[0024] The 5G module provides a 5G communication link for the handheld converged terminal;

[0025] The self-organizing network module and the 5G module each receive and transmit signals from their respective networks. Simultaneously, these two modules periodically send relevant signal parameters, such as signal strength, signal-to-noise ratio, and signal latency, to the network detection module.

[0026] Preferably, the 5G module provides dual-band communication of 578MHz to 678MHz and 4.9G.

[0027] The network detection module receives signal parameters from the 5G module and the ad hoc network module, evaluates and scores the quality of the two networks based on these parameters, and transmits the results to the handover decision module.

[0028] The service extraction module identifies and extracts the types of services currently in progress, as well as the sensitivity of different services to network stability and handover latency. It determines the network handover strategy based on the characteristics of the service type and decides whether to perform channel handover immediately based on the impact of channel handover on the application.

[0029] The power management module monitors the device's battery level in real time. If the battery level falls below a set threshold (e.g., 15%), the power management module will prioritize using a lower power-consuming network (5G network in this embodiment) and send this information to the switching decision module.

[0030] Ideally, to save power, when a network (such as an ad hoc network) is in standby mode, the terminal will reduce the network's transmit power to a minimum.

[0031] The switching decision module is the decision-making center of the entire handheld converged terminal. Based on information from the network detection module, service extraction module, and power management module, it uses a preset algorithm to select and determine the network (5G or ad hoc network) to be used.

[0032] Implementation Method Two:

[0033] Based on the above handheld converged terminals Figure 2 The second specific implementation method describes in detail how the handover decision module makes handover decisions based on input data from modules such as network detection, service requirement extraction, and power management. This strategy method mainly includes the following steps:

[0034] 1. Terminal initialization:

[0035] The handheld terminal initializes upon startup, reading parameters such as network monitoring period T, battery threshold, and operating mode from a pre-configured configuration file as the basis for converged handover decisions. These parameters can be manually updated via application management software or remotely online.

[0036] 2. Data Input and Processing:

[0037] The channel handover decision module receives data from the network detection module, the service demand extraction module, and the power management module. This data is processed and input into the handover decision.

[0038] The network detection module monitors signal strength, signal-to-noise ratio, and signal delay of 5G and ad hoc networks according to a preset cycle, and scores the channel quality of 5G and ad hoc networks based on this information. Figure 3 As shown, channels with higher scores are typically selected as primary channels, while channels with lower scores are used as alternative channels.

[0039] The business requirement extraction module identifies and extracts the type of currently running business, and further queries the preset table to determine the sensitivity of different businesses to network stability and handover latency. Based on the business type and the impact of channel switching on the application, it decides whether to immediately perform channel switching.

[0040] The power management module monitors the current power status of the terminal and sends the data to the switching decision module.

[0041] 3. Switching Decisions:

[0042] After the data is entered, the switching decision module takes into account network quality, business needs, and power status to select which network should be used for data transmission.

[0043] When the battery is fully charged, the switching decision module will select the network with the highest score for communication; when the battery level is below a set threshold (e.g., 15%), the power management module will prioritize recommending the use of a network with lower power consumption (5G network in this embodiment). When switching networks, the switching decision module further considers the current service requirements. For services that are sensitive to network switching (such as telephone calls), it will choose to switch networks after the current service ends, while for services with a higher tolerance for network switching (such as streaming media playback), it can switch networks immediately.

[0044] 4. Perform the handover: Once the handover decision is generated, the handover decision module will send instructions to the 5G module and the ad hoc network module to perform the network handover. This process may involve switching between 5G and the ad hoc network, or selecting one of the two networks as the primary data transmission network while setting the other network as a backup.
