[0026] 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.

[0027] The wireless communication method provided in this application embodiment can be applied to, for example... Figure 1The illustrated electronic device 01 may include a first processor 101 and a second processor 102. The first processor 101 can run a first system, and the second processor 102 can run a second system. For example, the first processor 101 may be a high-performance processor running the Android system; the second processor 102 may be a low-power processor running FreeRTOS, an MCU, or similar systems. The first and second systems communicate via a bus. The second processor is connected to a Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) module, which connects to the second system via a data interface. The electronic device 01 can receive user-triggered operations and process them through either the first processor 101 or the second processor 102. It is understood that the second processor and the WiFi module can be integrated into a single chip or integrated into two separate chips; therefore, their communication can be intra-chip communication or inter-chip communication.

[0028] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, a wireless communication method is provided, which is applied to... Figure 1 Taking an electronic device as an example, the electronic device includes a first processor and a second processor. The first processor runs a first system, and the second processor runs a second system. The first system and the second system communicate via a bus. The second processor is connected to a Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) module. The method includes the following steps:

[0029] S201, the first system sends WiFi information to the second system through bus communication with the second system.

[0030] S202, the second system receives WiFi information sent by the first system through bus communication with the first system.

[0031] For example, the power consumption of the first processor is greater than that of the second processor. The first processor could be a high-performance processor running the Android system, offering stronger performance, while the second processor could be a low-performance processor running an RTOS. Its performance is weaker than the first processor's core, but its power consumption is lower. The second processor can connect to a WiFi module and process WiFi-related services. In other words, the electronic device in this embodiment is a dual-core electronic device. The first processor can be a large core, such as a high-performance processing core, and the second processor can be a small core, such as a low-performance processing core. The first and second processors can be packaged in a single chip or in separate chips. For example, the small core is connected to a WiFi module, which can be a circuit or packaged as a WiFi chip, allowing the small core to process WiFi services. Optionally, the second processor and the WiFi module can be integrated into a single chip or integrated into two separate chips. Therefore, their communication can be intra-chip communication or inter-chip communication.

[0032] In this embodiment, the driver in the first system is removed. A bus interface and bus channel are built in the wpa_supplicant / hal layer of the first system, enabling the first system and the second system to communicate via the bus and achieve information exchange between them. For example, the first system and the second system can communicate via a data bus, or via a control bus, or via other types of buses.

[0033] In this embodiment, the WiFi scanning and connection mechanisms are controlled by the first system, while the second system does not perform any control processing, reducing code complexity and improving operational efficiency. In this embodiment, when the first system uses the WiFi module connected to the second processor to scan for and connect to WiFi (i.e., establishes a WiFi connection), WiFi information, including WiFi connection information, can be sent to the second system via bus communication. This allows the second system to use the WiFi network scanned and connected by the first system. If the first system does not connect to WiFi (i.e., no WiFi connection is established), the bus communication interface between the second and first systems will be closed. Optionally, the aforementioned WiFi information may include one or more types of information, such as the MAC address and IP address of the WiFi network connected to the first system. Optionally, in this embodiment, control and management related frames are still processed by the first system, while the second system does not. If the system's configuration information, such as the connected WiFi, changes, the first system needs to synchronize the changed configuration information to the second system.

[0034] S203, the second system controls the WiFi module to respond to wireless communication events based on WiFi information.

[0035] In this embodiment, the second processor is connected to the WiFi module. After the second system receives the WiFi connection information sent by the first system through bus communication with the first system, the first system can receive WiFi service requests transmitted by its applications and send the received WiFi service requests as wireless communication events to the second system. This allows the second system to control the WiFi module to respond to the received wireless communication events and perform specific service processing based on the WiFi information of the WiFi network connected to the first system. Similarly, the second system can receive WiFi service requests transmitted by its applications or peer devices and control the WiFi module to process the WiFi service requests transmitted by its applications or peer devices based on the received WiFi information, thus responding to wireless communication events initiated by its applications.

[0036] In the aforementioned wireless communication method, the wireless communication method is applied to an electronic device, which includes a first processor and a second processor. The first processor is used to run a first system, and the second processor is used to run a second system. The first system and the second system communicate via a bus. The second processor is connected to a Wi-Fi module. In this way, the first system can send Wi-Fi information to the second system through bus communication with the second system, and the second system can receive the Wi-Fi information sent by the first system through bus communication with the first system. Compared with the prior art, where the first system needs to send Wi-Fi information to the second system through the driver layer, this method reduces the transmission path of the Wi-Fi information from the first system to the second system, improves the real-time performance of Wi-Fi information transmission, and enables the second system to control the Wi-Fi module to respond to wireless communication events in a timely manner based on the received Wi-Fi information, thereby improving the real-time performance of the second system in responding to wireless communication events.

[0037] This embodiment will explain the specific implementation of the second system controlling the WiFi module to respond to wireless communication events based on WiFi information. In one embodiment, S203 includes:

[0038] Step A: The second system determines the type of wireless communication event and controls the WiFi module to respond to the wireless communication event based on the type of wireless communication event and the WiFi information.

[0039] It is understandable that, since the second processor is connected to the WiFi module, the wireless communication events processed by the second system may be initiated by the first system, the second system itself, or a peer device. The processing methods of the second system may also differ depending on the type of wireless communication event. For example, the second system may send the wireless communication event to the peer device, or it may parse the wireless communication event and send the parsing result to the application of the second system or the application of the first system. In this embodiment, the second system can first determine the type of wireless communication event to be responded to, and then control the WiFi module to respond to the wireless communication event based on the type of wireless communication event and the aforementioned WiFi information.

[0040] Optionally, in this embodiment, the second system can determine the type of the wireless communication event based on the received information of the wireless communication event. If the received information determines that the wireless communication event was sent from the first system to the second system, the type of the wireless communication event can be determined to be a first communication request sent by the first system; if the received information determines that the wireless communication event was sent from the peer device, the type of the wireless communication event can be determined to be a communication data packet received by the WiFi chip of the second system; if the received information determines that the wireless communication event was initiated by the second system, the type of the wireless communication event can be determined to be a second communication request initiated by the second system. As another optional implementation, the second system can determine the type of the wireless communication event based on the address information of the sending wireless communication event. If the address information of the sending wireless communication event is the address information of the first system, the type of the wireless communication event can be determined to be a first communication request sent by the first system; if the address information of the sending wireless communication event is the address information of the peer device, the type of the wireless communication event can be determined to be a communication data packet received by the WiFi module of the second system; if the address information of the sending wireless communication event is the address information of the second system, the type of the wireless communication event can be determined to be a second communication request initiated by the second system.

[0041] In this embodiment, by determining the type of wireless communication event to be responded to, the second system can control the WiFi module to respond in a timely manner to different types of wireless communication events based on the type of wireless communication event and the WiFi information of the WiFi connected to the first system, thereby improving the timeliness of the second system's response to wireless communication events.

[0042] In some scenarios, wireless communication events may be initiated by a first system and received by a second system through bus communication with the first system. In one embodiment, in this scenario, step A above includes:

[0043] Step B: If the type of wireless communication event is a first communication request sent by the first system, then control the WiFi module to send the first communication request based on the WiFi information.

[0044] In this embodiment, if the type of wireless communication event is a first communication request sent by the first system, since the first system and the second system can communicate via a bus without needing to communicate via WiFi, the second system can determine that the first communication request may be a communication request that needs to be forwarded by the second system to the peer device so that the electronic device can wirelessly interact with the peer device. In this scenario, as an optional implementation, the second system can control the WiFi module based on the aforementioned WiFi information to send the aforementioned first communication request to the peer device via WiFi communication, so that the electronic device can respond to the wireless communication event. Optionally, the first communication request in this embodiment can be any one of a device connection request, an information acquisition request, or a control request.

[0045] In this embodiment, if the type of wireless communication event is a first communication request sent by the first system, the second system controls the WiFi module to send the first communication request based on the WiFi information, which enables the second system to respond to the wireless communication event in a timely and accurate manner, ensuring the timeliness and accuracy of the second system's response to the wireless communication event.

[0046] In some scenarios, wireless communication events may be initiated by the peer device and obtained by the second system through interaction with the peer device. In one embodiment, in this scenario, step A above includes:

[0047] Step C: If the type of wireless communication event is a communication data packet received by the WiFi module, then determine whether the electronic device supports WiFi subnet communication based on the WiFi information.

[0048] In this embodiment, if the wireless communication event is initiated by the peer device, i.e., the type of the wireless communication event is a communication data packet received by the WiFi module of the second system, then the second system needs to process the received communication data packet. In this embodiment, as an optional implementation, the second system can determine whether the electronic device supports WiFi subnet communication based on the received WiFi information, and determine the response method for the communication data packet based on the determination result. Whether the electronic device supports WiFi subnet communication refers to whether the first system and the second system of the electronic device each support separate IP addresses. If the first system and the second system of the electronic device support separate IP addresses, it can be determined that the electronic device supports WiFi subnet communication; if the first system and the second system of the electronic device do not support separate IP addresses, it can be determined that the electronic device does not support WiFi subnet communication.

[0049] Step D: If the electronic device supports WiFi subnet communication, then control the WiFi module to respond to wireless communication events based on the IP address of the communication data packet.

[0050] In this embodiment, if the electronic device supports WiFi subnet communication, the second system can parse the received communication data packets, obtain the IP address of the communication data packets, and determine the IP address of the communication data packets. For example... Figure 3 As illustrated by the transmission link example, if the IP address of the communication data packet is the IP address of the first system, the second system can control the WiFi module to send the communication data packet to the first system via bus communication between the first and second systems. If the IP address of the communication data packet is the IP address of the second system, the second system can control the WiFi module to send the communication data packet to the data interface between the WiFi module and the application of the second system, so that the application of the second system can send communication data through this data interface.

[0051] Step E: If the electronic device does not support WiFi subnet communication, then control the WiFi module to distribute communication data packets through the data interface of the second system.

[0052] In this embodiment, if the electronic device does not support WiFi subnet communication, the transmission link can be as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the second system can control the WiFi module to send communication data packets to the data interface of the second system, and distribute the communication data through the data interface of the second system. Optional, please continue to see... Figure 4 The second system can identify the type of communication data packets through the aforementioned data interface. If the type of the communication data packet is an application data packet of the second system, it processes the communication data packet through the data interface. If the type of the communication data packet is an application data packet of the first system, it indicates that the communication data packet is returned by the peer device when the application of the first system wirelessly interacts with the peer device through the WiFi module. If the first system is in running state, the data interface of the second system can send the communication data packet to the first system through bus communication between the first and second systems, and the application of the first system processes the communication data packet. If the first system is in sleep state, the second system can buffer the communication data packets and send them to the first system through bus communication when it detects that the first system has switched from sleep state to running state. Optionally, the data interface of the second system can be a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) interface or a User Datagram Protocol (UDP) interface.

[0053] Additionally, it should be noted that if the first system is in a dormant state and the second system is running, and if the second system receives relevant management frames, the second system can cache the received management frames. For example, it can configure a config file to manage the received management frames, and then synchronize the relevant management frames to the first system for processing after the first system starts up.

[0054] In this embodiment, if the type of wireless communication event is a communication data packet received by the WiFi module, the second system can quickly determine whether the electronic device supports WiFi subnet communication based on the received WiFi information. Thus, if the electronic device supports WiFi subnet communication, the WiFi module can be controlled to respond to the wireless communication event based on the IP address of the communication data packet. If the electronic device does not support WiFi subnet communication, the WiFi module can be controlled to distribute the communication data packet through the data interface of the second system. This allows different processing methods to be used for different situations, ensuring the timeliness of communication data packet processing and thus ensuring the timeliness of wireless communication of the electronic device.

[0055] In some scenarios, wireless communication events may be initiated by an application of a second system, requesting a second communication to conduct WiFi communication with a peer device. Based on the above embodiments, in one embodiment, such as... Figure 5 As shown, step A above includes:

[0056] S301, if the type of wireless communication event is a second communication request initiated by the second system, then the second communication request is sent to the WiFi module through the data interface of the second system.

[0057] S302, based on WiFi information, control the WiFi module to respond to the second communication request.

[0058] It should be noted that the data interface of the second system is the data interface between the application of the second system and the WiFi module. Through this data interface, communication and interaction between the application of the second system and the WiFi module can be realized, reducing the inter-core transmission path.

[0059] In this embodiment, if the second system initiates a second communication request to interact with the peer device, the second system can send the second communication request initiated by the second system to the WiFi module through the data interface between the second system's application and the WiFi module. The second system can control the WiFi module to respond to the second communication request initiated by the second system based on the aforementioned WiFi information. Optionally, the second communication request can be any one of the following: a device connection request, an information acquisition request, or a control request initiated by the second system's application to communicate with the peer device.

[0060] In this embodiment, when the second system initiates a second communication request, the second system can directly send the second communication request initiated by the second system to the WiFi module through the data interface between the application of the second system and the WiFi module. This reduces the transmission path of the second communication request, thereby enabling the second system to control the WiFi module to respond to the second communication request in a timely manner based on the WiFi information of the WiFi connected to the first system, ensuring the timeliness of the response to the second communication request.

[0061] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the internal interaction framework of the wireless communication method provided in the embodiments of this application. To facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art, the following is combined with... Figure 6 The wireless communication method provided in this application will be described in detail with a complete embodiment as an example:

[0062] First, it should be noted that in this embodiment, the "large core" refers to the first system in the electronic device, and the "small core" refers to the second system in the electronic device. The wireless communication method provided in this application removes the driver layer on the large core and constructs a bus interface and bus channel in the wpa_supplicant / hal layer of the large core, enabling communication between the large and small cores via the bus, thereby reducing the transmission links when the large core transmits wireless communication events to the small core. After the large core scans and connects to WiFi, establishing a WiFi connection, it synchronizes WiFi information, including WiFi connection information, to the small core through bus communication between the large and small cores, allowing the small core to use the WiFi connected to the large core. When the large core receives a first communication request transmitted by an application on the large core, it sends the first communication request to the second system through the aforementioned bus communication with the second system. The second system then controls the WiFi module based on the connected WiFi information to send the first communication request to the peer device, enabling wireless communication with the peer device.

[0063] In this embodiment, for the small core, a data interface is created between the application on the small core and its WiFi module, enabling the application on the small core to communicate directly with the WiFi module. When the WiFi module running on the small core receives a communication data packet, it first determines whether the electronic device supports WiFi subnet communication based on the WiFi information sent by the large core, i.e., whether the electronic device supports dual IP communication. If the electronic device supports WiFi subnet communication, and the IP address of the received communication data packet is the IP address of the large core, the WiFi module is controlled to send the communication data packet to the large core through bus communication with the large core. If the IP address of the received communication data packet is the IP address of the small core, the WiFi module is controlled to send the communication data packet to the aforementioned data interface for processing. As another implementation, if it is determined that the electronic device does not support WiFi subnet communication, the smaller core can control the WiFi module to send the received communication data packets to the aforementioned data interface. This data interface identifies the type of the communication data packets. When the type of the communication data packet is an application data packet of the smaller core, it is processed through this data interface. When the type of the communication data packet is an application data packet of the larger core, it is sent to the larger core for processing via bus communication between the larger and smaller cores. Furthermore, if the application on the smaller core initiates a second communication request, the smaller core can send this request to the WiFi module through the aforementioned data interface, reducing the inter-core transmission path of the second communication request within the smaller core. Based on the WiFi information of the WiFi network connected to the larger core, the WiFi module is controlled to respond promptly to the second communication request initiated by the smaller core.
