Dual Wi-Fi Module Data Allocation for Throughput
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current mobile terminals can only connect to one Wi-Fi hotspot at a time, which limits their ability to meet high data transmission requirements.
Innovation Solution
A dual Wi-Fi module system that allows for simultaneous data transmission and reception via two Wi-Fi paths, using a first Wi-Fi module and a second Wi-Fi module, with a determining unit to allocate data packets based on application-type, data-packet-type, link-quality, or AP-type policies to optimize data transmission.

1Productivity
If a single Wi-Fi module is used to connect to one Wi-Fi hotspot, then device complexity is reduced, but data transmission throughput is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides the Wi-Fi communication function into two independent modules (first Wi-Fi module and second Wi-Fi module), each capable of independently connecting to different Wi-Fi hotspots. This segmentation allows simultaneous data transmission through multiple paths, increasing overall throughput while keeping each module's complexity manageable
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines multiple Wi-Fi modules and their corresponding data paths into a unified dual Wi-Fi system. The processing unit integrates data from both Wi-Fi paths, merging their capabilities to achieve higher data transmission throughput than a single Wi-Fi module could provide
2Productivity
If data packets are allocated without a determined ratio, then allocation simplicity is maintained, but data transmission efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The allocation ratio is dynamically determined based on real-time conditions. The processing unit adjusts the data packet allocation ratio between the first and second Wi-Fi paths according to factors such as application requirements, data packet types, link quality, and access point characteristics, optimizing transmission efficiency adaptively
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms by monitoring link quality, application performance, and data transmission status. Based on this feedback, the processing unit continuously optimizes the data packet allocation ratio to maintain high transmission efficiency under varying network conditions

AI summary
A method and device for data allocation, a mobile terminal, and a storage medium are provided. The method includes the following. In a dual Wi-Fi mode, a ratio for data packet allocation between a first Wi-Fi path and a second Wi-Fi path is determined according to at least one of an application-type-based allocation policy, a data-packet-type-based allocation policy, a link-quality-based allocation policy, or an access point (AP)-type-based allocation policy. The first Wi-Fi path includes a data path capable of data transmission to the first Wi-Fi module. The second Wi-Fi path includes a data path capable of data transmission to the second Wi-Fi module. Data packets are allocated to the first Wi-Fi path and the second Wi-Fi path for transmission according to the ratio for data packet allocation.
