  • Patent number: 11736979
    Abstract: A data packet transmission method—that includes: obtaining, by a terminal, N application programs that are running; and if the N application programs include an application program including a low-latency service; determining whether an unlicensed frequency band is in a congestion state; and instructing a network device to schedule a data packet of the terminal to a licensed frequency band for transmission when the unlicensed frequency band is in a congestion state. When determining that the N running application programs include the application program including the low-latency service, the terminal may instruct the network device to schedule the data packet of the terminal to the licensed frequency band for transmission, so as to transmit a data packet of the low-latency service by using the licensed frequency band. Resources in the licensed frequency band are centrally scheduled by the network device, instead of being used through contention.

  • Patent number: 11589405
    Abstract: A method includes determining, by a user equipment (UE), to use a first radio access technology, and triggering, by the UE, a first event to disable a second radio access technology while the UE currently uses the second radio access technology. The first event indicates that a base station fails to configure a secondary cell or instructs the base station to delete a configured secondary cell. The secondary cell is a secondary cell of the second radio access technology on the unlicensed spectrum.

  • Patent number: 11362711
    Abstract: An antenna selection method includes selecting M1 antenna sets from CN-L1L2 antenna combinations, where L1 is a quantity of reserved antennas, a sum of L1 and L2 is equal to L, determining an antenna set with a maximum channel capacity, in M2 antenna sets, as a target antenna set to perform a preset-duration data transmission, where the M2 antenna sets are antenna sets formed by the M1 antenna sets and the L1 reserved antennas. The L1 reserved antennas include a maximum SNR in a target antenna set used in previous preset-duration data transmission. Each of the M2 antenna sets includes the L1 reserved antennas.

  • Patent number: 10742249
    Abstract: A method for controlling a specific absorption rate (SAR) of a wireless communications device and a wireless communications device, and the wireless communications device includes a first antenna and a second antenna. The method includes transmitting, by the wireless communications device, a radio frequency signal using the first antenna, and stopping using the first antenna and starting transmitting the radio frequency signal using the second antenna when transmit power of the first antenna is greater than first preset power and a first time period elapses to enable the wireless communications device to meet an SAR standard. There is no backoff of antenna transmit power in a process of controlling the SAR of the wireless communications device. Therefore, communication quality of the wireless communications device is ensured while the SAR standard is met.
