[0056] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0057] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., used in this application can be used to describe various elements, but these elements are not limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish the first element from the second element. The terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, used in this application, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. The term "multiple" used in this application refers to two or more. The term "and / or" used in this application refers to one of the embodiments, or any combination of multiple embodiments.

[0058] To make communication equipment suitable for different service scenarios, multiple dialing can be implemented on a single communication device, meaning that a single communication device can access the Internet through multiple different dialing links. However, the link parameters of different dialing links may conflict. If the communication device maintains multiple conflicting dialing links simultaneously, some or all of the dialing links may fail to function properly, resulting in poor network service reliability.

[0059] Based on this, in an exemplary embodiment, this application provides a multi-dialing conflict handling method, which can be applied to a communication device with network communication capabilities, wherein the communication device can be in the following state: Figure 1 In the application environment shown, communication device 102 communicates with network-side device 104 via a dial-up link. Communication device 102 supports multiple dial-ups, meaning it can communicate with network-side device 104 through various different dial-up links. A data storage system can store the data that network-side device 104 needs to process. The data storage system can be integrated into network-side device 104 or located in the cloud or on other network servers.

[0060] The communication device 102 can be, but is not limited to, various personal computers, laptops, smartphones, tablets, drones, low-altitude aircraft, IoT devices, and portable wearable devices. IoT devices can include smart speakers, smart TVs, smart air conditioners, smart in-vehicle devices, and projection equipment. Portable wearable devices can include smartwatches, smart bracelets, and head-mounted displays. Head-mounted displays can be virtual reality (VR) devices, augmented reality (AR) devices, and smart glasses. The network-side device 104 can be a standalone physical server, a server cluster or distributed system composed of multiple physical servers, or a cloud server providing cloud computing services.

[0061] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, this method includes the following steps:

[0062] Step 201: In response to the dial initiation command for the first dialing link, obtain the link parameters of the first dialing link.

[0063] In this embodiment, the communication device supports multiple dial-up connections. Therefore, when the communication device receives a dial-up initiation command requesting the establishment of a new dial-up link, it needs to first determine that this new dial-up link will not conflict with existing dial-up links in the communication device. The service types of the dial-up links supported by the communication device include, but are not limited to, USBNDIS (Universal Serial Bus Network Driver Interface Specification), USB Tether (Universal Serial Bus Tethering), PPP NDIS (Point-to-Point Protocol Network Driver Interface Specification), PPP Tether (Point-to-Point Protocol Tethering), WIFI AP (Wireless Fidelity Access Point), or local internet access. The multiple dial-up links supported by the communication device typically correspond to different service types. For ease of description, the dial-up link to be established indicated by the dial-up initiation command can be referred to as the first dial-up link, and the dial-up link already successfully established in the communication device can be referred to as the second dial-up link.

[0064] The dialing initiation command can be triggered by user operation of the communication device. For example, the user can trigger the dialing initiation command to establish the first dialing link through interactive operation on the front-end operation interface; or, the dialing initiation command can be automatically triggered by the communication device's own business needs. For example, the application can actively call the API (Application Programming Interface) to issue a dialing initiation command for establishing a first dialing link dedicated to transmitting certain data; etc. The specific implementation of this application does not limit this.

[0065] Based on this, in response to the detected dialing initiation command, the communication device can obtain the link parameters related to the first dialing link. These link parameters include, but are not limited to, session identifier, multiplexing license status, transmission mode and port reservation status, which serve as the basis for subsequent judgment on whether there is a conflict between the first dialing link and each of the second dialing links.

[0066] Step 202: Obtain the link parameters of each of the currently established second dial-up links.

[0067] Then, the communication device can also obtain the link parameters of each of the currently established second dial-up links. The second dial-up link refers to the dial-up link in the current communication device that has been successfully connected and is in normal operation, and there can be one or more of them.

[0068] Specifically, the communication device can traverse each established second dial-up connection and extract the link parameters of each second dial-up link one by one. The parameter types of the link parameters of the second dial-up link are completely consistent with those of the first dial-up link, ensuring that the subsequent parameter comparisons are of the same dimension and comparable, avoiding omission of second dial-up links and thus preventing missed conflict judgments, and ensuring the comprehensiveness of conflict handling.

[0069] Step 203: In response to the identification of at least one conflicting link from each of the second dialing links, the dialing operation on the first dialing link is terminated; the link parameters of the conflicting link and the link parameters of the first dialing link satisfy a preset conflict condition.

[0070] After obtaining the link parameters of the first dial-up link and the second dial-up link, the communication device can use the conflict management module to determine whether the link parameters of the first dial-up link and the link parameters of the second dial-up link meet the preset conflict conditions. If the link parameters of a certain second dial-up link meet the preset conflict conditions with the link parameters of the first dial-up link, it indicates that the second dial-up link conflicts with the first dial-up link to be established. Therefore, the second dial-up link can be used as a conflict link.

[0071] Specifically, the conflict management module can compare the obtained link parameters of the first dialing link with the link parameters of each second dialing link according to the preset conflict conditions. Once a conflict link is identified, the dialing operation of the first dialing link can be stopped, and the first dialing link indicated by the dialing initiation command will not be established. This avoids the situation where the first dialing link and the identified conflict link exist at the same time, and ensures that the established conflict links can continue to operate normally.

[0072] As can be seen from the above, in the solution provided in this application, in response to the dialing initiation command for the first dialing link, the link parameters of the first dialing link are compared with the link parameters of each second dialing link that has been successfully established in the communication device. For each second dialing link, once the link parameters of the first dialing link and the link parameters of the second dialing link meet the preset conflict conditions, the second dialing link can be identified as a conflicting link, and the dialing operation for the first dialing link can be stopped. This prevents the establishment of the first dialing link from disrupting the stable operation of the identified conflicting link, avoids service anomalies or service interruptions caused by link parameter conflicts in multi-dialing scenarios, and effectively improves the stability and reliability of network services.

[0073] In one exemplary embodiment, the method further includes:

[0074] In response to the absence of a conflicting link in each of the second dialing links, a dialing operation is performed on the first dialing link.

[0075] In this exemplary embodiment, if the conflict management module does not identify any conflicting links among the second dialing links, that is, after traversing each second dialing link, it finds that no link parameter of any second dialing link meets the preset conflict condition with the link parameter of the first dialing link, it means that there is no conflict between the first dialing link and each second dialing link. In other words, the first dialing link can coexist with each second dialing link, and there will be no problem that some or all of the second dialing links cannot operate normally due to link parameter conflicts.

[0076] Based on the judgment result generated by the conflict management module, the communication device can continue to perform the dialing operation on the first dialing link through the dial-up Internet access service module, complete the subsequent dialing process, and perform related operations such as access configuration and network resource allocation of the first dialing link according to the dialing initiation command, until the first dialing link is successfully established and in an effective operating state.

[0077] This constitutes a complete multi-dialing conflict handling mechanism. By comparing link parameters in the early stage, it avoids the risk of conflict and ensures the stable operation of the existing second dialing link. At the same time, it ensures that the first dialing link can be successfully established even if no conflicting link is identified, thus meeting the service requirements of multi-dialing access of communication equipment and improving the network adaptability and reliability of communication equipment in different scenarios.

[0078] In an exemplary embodiment, the link parameters include a session identifier and a multiplexing license status. The method further includes:

[0079] For each second dial-up link, in response to the fact that the session identifier of the first dial-up link is the same as the session identifier of the second dial-up link, and the multiplexing permission status of the target dial-up link is not allowed, it is determined that the link parameters of the second dial-up link and the link parameters of the first dial-up link meet the preset conflict conditions, and the target dial-up link includes the first dial-up link and / or the second dial-up link.

[0080] In this exemplary embodiment, the link parameters include a session identifier and a reuse license status. The session identifier refers to the CID (ContextIdentifier) ​​of the PDP (Packet Data Protocol) session associated with the dial-up link. The reuse license status is used to declare whether the PDP session is allowed to be shared by other dial-up links. It can be understood that the reuse license status includes two states: allowed and disallowed.

[0081] Based on this, the specific process for determining whether the link parameters of the first dial-up link and the link parameters of the second dial-up link meet the preset conflict conditions includes:

[0082] For each second dial-up link, determine whether the session identifier of the first dial-up link is the same as the session identifier of the second dial-up link. If the session identifier of the first dial-up link is different from the session identifier of the second dial-up link, it indicates that the first dial-up link and the second dial-up link belong to different PDP sessions and are independent of each other, and there is no basis for conflict for the same PDP session.

[0083] If the session identifier of the first dial-up link is the same as that of the second dial-up link, it indicates that the first dial-up link and the second dial-up link are associated with the same PDP session. It is necessary to further combine the multiplexing license status of the first dial-up link and the second dial-up link to determine whether the preset conflict conditions are met.

[0084] Specifically, the multiplexing permission status of the target dialing link can be verified. The target dialing link here includes either or both of the first dialing link and the second dialing link. If the multiplexing permission status of both the first dialing link and the second dialing link is allowed, it means that the first dialing link and the second dialing link can coexist. Conversely, if there is a situation where the session identifier is the same, and the multiplexing permission status of at least one of the target dialing links is not allowed, it means that the first dialing link and the second dialing link cannot coexist. In this case, the communication device can determine that the second dialing link is a conflicting link that conflicts with the first dialing link.

[0085] In this way, by using the judgment logic based on session identifier and reuse license status, the specific scenarios in which the session identifier and reuse license status are linked to trigger conflict are accurately defined, ensuring the targetedness and accuracy of conflict handling. At the same time, it also provides a clear basis for the suspension or execution of subsequent dialing operations, effectively avoiding dialing link operation abnormalities caused by duplicate session identifiers that cannot be reused.

[0086] In one exemplary embodiment, the link parameters include the transmission mode and port reservation status; the method further includes:

[0087] For each second dial-up link, in response to the second dial-up link's transmission mode being transparent and its port reservation status being unreserved, it is determined that the link parameters of the second dial-up link and the link parameters of the first dial-up link meet the preset conflict conditions.

[0088] In this exemplary embodiment, the link parameters include the transmission mode and port reservation status. The transmission mode refers to the data forwarding and processing method adopted by the dial-up link when transmitting data, including routing and pass-through. If the transmission mode is routing, the dial-up link needs to parse the network layer information of the data packet and perform corresponding processing. If the transmission mode is pass-through, the dial-up link will not check or modify the data packet, but will directly forward the data packet.

[0089] The port reservation status is used to declare whether the port used by a dial-up link with a transparent transmission mode is exclusive. The port reservation status includes reserved status and unreserved status. Reserved status means that the communication device has reserved a dedicated port for the dial-up link, which cannot be occupied by other dial-up links. Unreserved status means that the communication device has not reserved a dedicated port for the dial-up link. Therefore, the establishment of other dial-up links may cause multiple dial-up links to use the same port at the same time, resulting in resource conflicts.

[0090] Based on this, the specific process for determining whether the link parameters of the first dial-up link and the link parameters of the second dial-up link meet the preset conflict conditions includes:

[0091] For each second dial-up link, first determine whether the transmission mode of the second dial-up link is transparent. If the transmission mode of the second dial-up link is routing, it means that the second dial-up link forwards data by routing the network layer information of the data packet, does not rely on a fixed port for transmission, and there is no conflict caused by port resources.

[0092] If the transmission mode of the second dial-up link is transparent, it indicates that the second dial-up link uses a fixed port for data transmission, which may lead to port resource contention. It is necessary to further determine the port reservation status of the second dial-up link to determine whether it conflicts with the first dial-up link.

[0093] Specifically, if the port reservation status of the second dial-up link is "reserved", it means that the communication device has reserved a dedicated port for the second dial-up link. The second dial-up link can transmit data through this port, while the first dial-up link cannot use this port. Therefore, the first dial-up link will not have a port conflict with the second dial-up link.

[0094] Conversely, if the port reservation status of the second dial-up link is unreserved, it means that the communication device has not reserved a dedicated port for the second dial-up link. If the first dial-up link is allowed to continue to be established, port resource contention is very likely to occur, which will cause the second dial-up link to fail to work properly. In this case, it can be determined that the second dial-up link and the first dial-up link meet the preset conflict conditions, that is, the second dial-up link is determined to be a conflict link that conflicts with the first dial-up link.

[0095] This allows for timely identification of conflict risks arising from insufficient port resources in transparent transmission mode during the dialing initiation phase, providing accurate judgment criteria for subsequent suspension or continuation of dialing operations, and further enhancing the stability and reliability of multi-channel dialing coexistence.

[0096] The uplink types for each dial-up link include cellular network or USB (Universal Serial Bus) to Ethernet. Cellular network refers to accessing the wireless network through a mobile communication module (such as a 4G / 5G module), while USB (Universal Serial Bus) to Ethernet refers to accessing the wired broadband network by connecting an external Ethernet adapter through a USB interface.

[0097] Based on this, in an exemplary embodiment, the first dialing link includes a first uplink or a second uplink; in step 203, performing a dialing operation on the first dialing link includes:

[0098] Detect the link status of the first uplink;

[0099] In response to the first uplink being in a valid state, a dialing operation is performed on the first uplink; or, in response to the first uplink being invalid, a dialing operation is performed on the second uplink.

[0100] In this exemplary embodiment, provided that there is no conflicting link that conflicts with the first dialing link, a dialing guarantee mechanism that serves as a backup for each other can be constructed based on two different types of uplinks: cellular network and USB to Ethernet. This avoids the dialing failure problem caused by the failure of a single uplink and ensures that the conflict-free first dialing link can be successfully established.

[0101] Specifically, after confirming that there are no conflicts between the first dial-up link and all currently established second dial-up links, the network link management module of the communication device can prioritize performing link status detection on the preset first uplink. The detection scope covers key indicators such as link connectivity, signal strength, transmission stability, and network access permissions to determine whether the first uplink can meet the requirements of dial-up establishment and subsequent data transmission. The first uplink can be a cellular network or a USB-to-Ethernet connection, while the second uplink is any other uplink type besides the first, without specific limitations.

[0102] If the test results show that the first uplink is valid, it means that the first uplink can be put into normal use. In this case, the communication device can directly execute the dialing operation based on the uplink, and complete the access configuration, network resource allocation and other related processes of the first dialing link according to the dialing initiation command, and establish the first dialing link. If the test finds that the first uplink is invalid, such as when the cellular network has a signal interruption, link failure, or when the USB to Ethernet interface connection is abnormal or the wired broadband is interrupted, the network link management module can automatically trigger the uplink switching mechanism and switch to execute the dialing operation of the second uplink. The backup second uplink is used to make up for the defects of the first uplink, ensuring that the dialing operation of the first dialing link can continue to advance and be completed smoothly.

[0103] This link switching implementation method not only fully leverages the advantages of different types of uplinks, but also effectively improves the reliability and stability of multi-dialing establishment, ensuring that communication equipment can flexibly adapt to the actual status of the uplink and continuously and stably achieve network access, thus better meeting the multi-dialing usage needs under different business scenarios.

[0104] In one implementation, this method further includes:

[0105] Based on pre-configured link priority information, the first uplink is determined from all uplinks included in the first dial-up link, and the other uplinks are determined as the second uplink.

[0106] In this implementation, the first uplink can be determined from the selectable uplinks based on the pre-configured link priority information. The link priority information here is pre-configured by the network link management module according to factors such as actual business needs, network transmission characteristics and usage scenarios. It is used to clarify the usage priority order of each uplink included in the first dial-up link and provide a clear basis for the primary and backup division of uplinks.

[0107] Link priority configuration can be combined with the advantages of different uplinks. For example, if a cellular network has the advantages of convenient access and wide coverage, it can be configured as a high priority; if a USB to Ethernet network has the advantages of stable transmission and stable bandwidth, it can be configured as a high priority according to business needs. The specific priority division can be flexibly adapted to the actual application scenario.

[0108] When performing this step, the network link management module can call the pre-stored link priority information to prioritize all uplinks included in the first dialing link, and determine the uplink with the highest priority as the first uplink, which will be used first during dialing operations; at the same time, the remaining uplinks with lower priority will be determined as the second uplinks as backup uplinks.

[0109] This ensures that dialing operations prioritize uplinks that better meet business needs and offer greater advantages. It also provides clear logical support for subsequent uplink status detection and automatic switching, further optimizing the efficiency and reliability of dialing establishment. This makes the selection of uplinks for multi-dialing more targeted and reasonable, and better adapts to the network usage needs of different business scenarios.

[0110] Based on the conflict handling mechanism of this application embodiment, the following results can be obtained by judging whether there is a conflict between dialing links of different service types:

[0111] Table 1. Dialing link conflict scenarios for different service types

[0112]

[0113] Table 1 illustrates the dial-up link conflict scenarios for different service types. NA indicates no conflict within the same service type; × indicates a conflict; and √ indicates no conflict. Specifically, USB NDIS conflicts with USB Tether and PPP NDIS, but not with PPP Tether, WIFI AP, or local internet access; USB Tether conflicts with USB NDIS, but not with PPP NDIS, PPP Tether, WIFI AP, or local internet access; PPP NDIS conflicts with USB NDIS and PPP Tether, but not with USB Tether, WIFI AP, or local internet access; PPP Tether conflicts with USB NDIS and PPP NDIS, but not with USB Tether, WIFI AP, or local internet access; WIFI AP conflicts with USB NDIS, but not with USB Tether, PPP NDIS, PPP Tether, or local internet access; and local internet access conflicts with USB NDIS, but not with USB Tether, PPP NDIS, PPP Tether, or WIFI AP.

[0114] like Figure 3The diagram shown is a system architecture provided in an embodiment of this application, including a conflict management module, a dial-up internet access service module, and a link management module. Specifically, the dial-up internet access service module can be used to establish dial-up links for various service types such as WIFI AP, PPP NDIS, PPP Tether, USB NDIS, USB Tether, and local dial-up. The conflict determination of these dial-up links is implemented by the conflict management module, while the link management module is used to determine which uplink to use for newly established dial-up links. The uplink includes cellular networks and USB to Ethernet. The overall architecture ensures the stable operation and reasonable coexistence of multiple dial-up services through the coordination of conflict management and link management.

[0115] In one specific embodiment of this application, for a second dial-up link with a transmission type of routing, the conflict management module can, as follows: Figure 4 The process shown implements conflict determination. First, for each second dial-up link, it is determined whether the session identifier of the first dial-up link is the same as the session identifier of the second dial-up link.

[0116] If the session identifier of the first dial-up link is different from that of the second dial-up link, it is determined that the link parameters of the second dial-up link and the link parameters of the first dial-up link do not meet the preset conflict conditions.
