Abstract
A switching method is applied to a terminal that supports WiFi communication on at least two frequency bands. When the terminal and a first Access Point (AP) transmit information by using a first frequency band, a request for establishing a connection between the terminal and a second AP by using a second frequency band is sent to the second AP. When a success message that is fed back by the second AP according to the connection request is received, the terminal establishes a connection with the second AP by using the second frequency band, and then sends, to the first AP, an instruction of breaking a connection between the terminal and the first AP.

- To reduce a ping-pong effect, the channel quality parameter group may include the RSSI, the RATE, and the PER.
- When the first frequency band is higher than the second frequency band, for example, when the first frequency band is 5 GHz, and the second frequency band is 2.4 GHz, optionally, the preset condition includes: a value R of the RSSI is less than a received signal strength indicator switching threshold R1, a value T of the RATE is less than a physical layer working rate threshold T1, and a value V of the PER is greater than a packet error rate threshold V1.
- When the first frequency band is lower than the second frequency band, for example, when the first frequency band is 2.4 GHz, and the second frequency band is 5 GHz, optionally, the preset condition includes: a value R of the RSSI is greater than a received signal strength indicator switching threshold R2, a value T of the RATE is greater than a physical layer working rate threshold T2, and a value V of the PER is less than a packet error rate threshold V2.
- For example, the first frequency band is 2.4 GHz, and the second frequency band is 5 GHz.
- When a mobile phone that supports 2.4/5 GHz connection and a 2.4 GHz AP transmit information by using 2.4 GHz, the mobile phone detects values of the RSSI, the RATE, and the PER.
- When it is detected that the value R of the RSSI is greater than the received signal strength indicator switching threshold R2, the value T of the RATE is greater than the physical layer working rate threshold T2, and the value V of the PER is less than the packet error rate threshold V2, the mobile phone sends, to a 5 GHz AP, a connection request for establishing a connection between the mobile phone and the 5 GHz AP by using 5 GHz.
- When a success message that is fed back by the 5 GHz AP according to the connection request is received, the terminal establishes a connection with the 5 GHz AP by using the 5 GHz, and then sends, to the 2.4 GHz AP, a disconnection instruction of breaking a connection between the mobile phone and the 2.4 GHz AP.
- It may be understood that a 5 GHz signal has advantages of a wide frequency band, little interference, and a high throughput rate, but a wall penetration capability of the 5 GHz signal is poor. In contrast, a 2.4 GHz signal has a narrower frequency band, but has an advantage of a wide coverage area. Generally, a channel quality requirement for transmitting a 5 GHz signal is higher than that for transmitting a 2.4 GHz signal. According to the method in the foregoing embodiment, when the mobile phone works at 2.4 GHz, if R>R2, T>T2, and V<V2, it indicates that the channel quality is relatively good, and the mobile phone is relatively close to the AP. In this case, switching an operating frequency band to 5 GHz may improve the throughput rate while ensuring communication quality. However, when the mobile phone works at 5 GHz, if the mobile phone is gradually far away from the AP, the channel quality gradually becomes poor. In this case, switching the frequency band to 2.4 GHz ensures long distance coverage of a signal.
- Optionally, when a link packet error rate PER is statistically collected, volume-weighted exponential moving average (V-EMA) may be used. According to the method, weighted averaging is performed on a value at a current moment and a historical value, so as to effectively smooth signal fluctuation caused by an air interface deviation.
- In this embodiment of the present invention, the terminal that supports WiFi communication on the at least two different frequency bands includes a first antenna and a second antenna. Optionally, an operating frequency of the first antenna is around 2.4 GHz, and an operating frequency of the second antenna is around 5 GHz. The first antenna and the second antenna are separately connected to a radio frequency circuit. The first antenna and the second antenna may be separate antennas, or may be an antenna array. Optionally, when the terminal and the first AP transmit the information by using the first frequency band, the first antenna works; when the terminal and the second AP transmit the information by using the second frequency band, the second antenna works; and when the terminal establishes the connection with the second AP by using the second frequency band, and does not send the disconnection instruction to the first AP, both the first antenna and the second antenna work.
- According to the frequency band switching method provided in this embodiment of the present invention, a value of a channel quality parameter group is detected, and when the value of the channel quality parameter group meets a preset condition, automatic switching of an AP is triggered, thereby improving flexibility of system switching.
