In order to facilitate understanding of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, the following description describes related technologies of the embodiments of the present application, and the following related technologies may be optionally combined with the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application as alternatives, which all belong to the protection scope of the embodiments of the present application.

Wireless transceiver system in terminal

Typically, the terminal has a plurality of wireless transceiver systems therein. For example, as shown in fig. 2, a wireless transceiver system (hereinafter referred to as a mobile communication unit) for mobile communication such as second Generation communication (2 th-Generation, 2G), third Generation communication (3 th-Generation, 3G), fourth Generation communication (4 th-Generation, 4G), fifth Generation communication (5 th-Generation, 5G) and the like may be included in the terminal, and other wireless transceiver systems for unlicensed communication may be further included, such as a WiFi communication unit, a bluetooth communication unit, a global positioning system (Global Positioning System, GPS) and the like.

For a mobile communication unit, a terminal needs to communicate with a base station, which schedules the terminal to receive and transmit on certain radio resources. The terminal needs to follow the base station schedule in this process.

For communication units operating on unlicensed spectrum, such as WiFi, bluetooth, etc., the terminal autonomously selects idle radio resources to initiate communication with the peer.

Furthermore, in some emerging applications, such as D2D or V2X, a UE may communicate directly with other UEs without going through a base station. This mode of direct communication between UEs is called sidelink (Sidelink, SL) communication. This communication is characterized in that the base station is no longer a control center and can communicate directly without a network. In certain situations the terminal may autonomously select idle resources to initiate side-link communications without requiring scheduling by the base station. Taking the internet of vehicles as an example, as shown in fig. 3, vehicles can communicate with nearby vehicles to perform anti-collision early warning and other applications.

Mutual interference and sensitivity backoff in mobile communication system

The receiver sensitivity backoff means that the receiver of the terminal is affected by factors such as interference or noise, resulting in a certain deterioration of the receiver sensitivity. The case of causing sensitivity back-off in NR is many, and sensitivity back-off due to harmonic or intermodulation interference is typical at EN-DC, NE-DC, DC or inter-band CA. The following is a brief description taking EN-DC as an example.

In general, intra-terminal mutual interference mainly derives from nonlinearities of radio frequency front-end devices such as Power Amplifiers (PA) and the like. When the input is a single tone signal cos (ωt), the output signal contains 2 ωt, 3 ωt, and other higher harmonic components. If the harmonic falls into the receiving frequency band, harmonic interference is caused. This interference occurs mostly in a scenario where low frequency transmission and high frequency reception are performed simultaneously.

When the input signal contains a plurality of frequency components, the output contains intermodulation products of the respective orders of the frequency components. Taking the example of two frequency components cos (ω ₁ t) and cos (ω ₂ t) as inputs, the output will contain second order intermodulation (ω ₁±ω ₂), third order intermodulation (2ω ₁±ω ₂,ω ₁±2ω ₂), etc. Intermodulation interference may be caused if intermodulation products fall into the receiving frequency band. The interference mostly occurs in a high-low frequency concurrent scene, an external signal is poured into a UE transmitting link scene, and the like.

Taking the mutual interference between the frequency band B3 and the frequency band n77 as an example, as shown in fig. 4, the 2 nd harmonic wave on the uplink of B3 will cause the 2 nd harmonic interference on the downlink of n 77. The 2 nd order intermodulation products of the B3 uplink and the n77 uplink can interfere with the downstream reception of B3. The specific interference is shown in fig. 5 and 6.

The above-mentioned harmonic and intermodulation interference have serious influence on the reception performance of the terminal in NR, and especially the degree of influence of the second harmonic and second order intermodulation products is more likely to reach a sensitivity deterioration of several tens dB (decibel). Causing the downlink reception coverage of the terminal to be greatly contracted as shown in fig. 7. In the standard, a defined sensitivity back-off is generally used to accommodate different interferences, namely MSD (Maximum Sensitivity Degradation, maximum sensitivity back-off), which characterizes the degradation of the downlink reception capacity of the terminal allowed by the standard for the combination of frequency bands where the interference exists.

In addition to the above-mentioned harmonic and intermodulation interference, leakage interference between frequency bands may occur when the frequency band intervals are relatively close, and as shown in fig. 8, the receiving spectrum of frequency band B and the transmitting spectrum of frequency band a are also interfered when the frequency band intervals are relatively close.

Mutual interference in the mobile communication system may occur among a plurality of wireless transmission/reception systems of the terminal. But the difference is that in the mobile communication system, the base station is used as a central control node, so that the receiving and transmitting among a plurality of carriers can be scheduled, and the mutual interference among the carriers is solved to a certain extent. For interference between multiple wireless transceiver systems, the lack of coordination of the base stations results in a significant degradation of the system performance that would directly result in interference once it occurred. Furthermore, since the plurality of wireless transceiving systems in the terminal device are in a mutually independent state, for example, between the 5G communication unit and the WiFi communication unit, interference is difficult to eliminate or avoid.

The scheme provided by the embodiment of the application is mainly used for solving at least one of the problems.

For a more complete understanding of the nature and the technical content of the embodiments of the present invention, reference should be made to the following detailed description of embodiments of the invention, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, which are meant to be illustrative only and not limiting of the embodiments of the invention.

Fig. 9 is a schematic flow chart of a method of processing frequency information according to an embodiment of the present application. The method comprises the following steps:

S110, a first communication unit in the terminal equipment receives first resource information from a second communication unit in the terminal equipment; the first resource information comprises working frequency information of the second communication unit, and the working frequency information of the second communication unit is used for determining the working frequency information of the first communication unit.

The above method may be applied to the terminal shown in fig. 2, but is not limited thereto.

In the embodiment of the present application, the communication unit may be the above wireless transceiver system. For example, the communication unit may include a mobile communication unit for mobile communication such as 2G, 3G, 4G, or 5G, and may further include an unlicensed communication unit such as a WiFi communication unit, a bluetooth communication unit, a SL communication unit, or the like.

Optionally, the first communication unit comprises a first mobile communication unit and/or a first unlicensed communication unit.

Optionally, the second communication unit comprises a second mobile communication unit and/or a second unlicensed communication unit.

For example, the first communication unit and the second communication unit may be one of the mobile communication unit and the other of the mobile communication unit and the second communication unit may be an unlicensed communication unit. That is, the method can be used for interference coordination between the 2G/3G/4G mobile communication unit and the WiFi/Bluetooth/SL communication units.

As another example, the first communication unit and the second communication unit may both be mobile communication units. That is, the above method can also be used for interference coordination among a plurality of mobile communication units, for example, an interference system among a plurality of mobile communication units without a communication interface.

The second communication unit in the terminal device sends the first resource information to the first communication unit in correspondence with the above method. Specifically, another embodiment of the present application further provides a method for processing frequency information, as shown in fig. 10, where the method includes:

S210, a second communication unit in the terminal equipment sends first resource information to a first communication unit in the terminal equipment; the first resource information comprises working frequency information of the second communication unit, and the working frequency information of the second communication unit is used for determining the working frequency information of the first communication unit.

As explained above, inter-carrier interference is related to the frequency at which the carrier is located, and these interference may occur not only inside the communication unit but also between a plurality of communication units, for example between a 5G communication unit and a WiFi communication unit. According to the method of the embodiment of the application, the first communication unit receives the operating frequency information of the second communication unit, the operating frequency information of the first communication unit can be determined based on the operating frequency information of the second communication unit, and based on the operating frequency information, the first communication unit can work avoiding the interfered frequency. The frequency coordination is carried out between the first communication unit and the second communication unit in the terminal equipment, so that the interference between the first communication unit and the second communication unit is avoided, and the communication performance can be ensured.

Optionally, a coordination unit may be introduced between the first communication unit and the second communication unit to perform communication of information and coordination of resources. For example, a separate coordination unit is provided in the terminal device, connected between the first communication unit and the second communication unit. Or a coordination unit is provided in the first communication unit or the second communication unit. Taking the example that the terminal device includes the 5G communication unit and the WiFi communication unit, as shown in fig. 11, a coordination unit may be introduced between the 5G communication system and the WiFi communication system, for information interaction between the 5G communication unit and the WiFi communication unit, or the function of the coordination unit may also be included in the 5G communication unit or the WiFi communication unit. Based on this, the above-described process of transceiving the first resource information between the first communication unit and the second communication unit may be implemented by the coordination unit.

Specifically, in step S110, the first communication unit in the terminal device receives the first resource information from the second communication unit in the terminal device, including: the first communication unit receives the first resource information from the second communication unit through a coordination unit in the terminal device. I.e. the first communication unit may receive the first resource information sent by the coordination unit, which first resource information is sent by the second communication unit to the coordination unit.

Accordingly, in step S210, the second communication unit in the terminal device sends the first resource information to the first communication unit in the terminal device, including: the second communication unit sends the first resource information to the first communication unit through a coordination unit in the terminal device. That is, the second communication unit may transmit the first resource information to the coordination unit, so that the coordination unit transmits the first resource information to the first communication unit.

As shown in fig. 12, an embodiment of the present application further provides a method for processing frequency information, including:

S310, the coordination unit in the terminal equipment sends the first resource information to the first communication unit in the terminal equipment under the condition that the coordination unit receives the first resource information from the second communication unit in the terminal equipment;

Optionally, for the first communication unit, the processing method of the frequency information may further include:

The first communication unit determines frequency information to be avoided based on the working frequency information of the second communication unit, wherein the frequency information to be avoided is not used as the working frequency information of the first communication unit.

For example, the frequency information to be circumvented may include disturbed frequency information. The frequency information to be circumvented may be determined based on a relationship between the operating frequency information of the second communication unit and the interfered frequency information.

For example, harmonic interference is the influence of frequency multiplication of an interfering carrier on an interfered carrier, intermodulation interference refers to sum/difference frequency between a plurality of interfering carriers, and adjacent band leakage interference is the influence caused by insufficient isolation between frequency bands. Accordingly, the frequency information to be circumvented may include at least one of: frequency information of which the isolation degree between the frequency multiplication of the working frequency information of the second communication unit, the sum frequency/difference frequency of the plurality of working frequency information of the second communication unit and the working frequency information of the second communication unit is smaller than a preset threshold value.

Alternatively, the second communication unit may also transmit corresponding time information when transmitting its operating frequency information. I.e. the first resource information also comprises first time information. The first time information corresponds to the working frequency information of the second communication unit so as to represent that the second communication unit occupies the working frequency information in a time range corresponding to the time information, and therefore the first communication unit avoids corresponding interfered frequency information in the time range.

Accordingly, the first communication unit determines frequency information to be circumvented based on the operating frequency information of the second communication unit, including:

The first communication unit determines frequency information to be avoided in a time range corresponding to the first time information based on the working frequency information of the second communication unit.

For example, the first time information may include at least one of a start time, an end time, and duration information. For example, the first time information may include an end time, and the time range corresponding to the first time information may be from the time when the information is received to the end time. Or the first time information may include a start time and an end time, and the time range corresponding to the first time information may be from the start time to the end time. Or the first time information may include a duration information, and the end time is obtained based on the time of receiving the information and the duration information, and the time range corresponding to the first time information may be from the time of receiving the information to the end time.

Alternatively, the first communication unit may determine the time information corresponding to the frequency information to be avoided based on a preset manner. For example, when the second communication unit sends the working frequency information, the second communication unit may not send the corresponding time information, and the first communication unit determines the effective time of the frequency information to be avoided based on a preset mode. Two exemplary ways are provided below:

example 1: the first communication unit determines frequency information to be avoided based on the working frequency information of the second communication unit, and the method comprises the following steps: the first communication unit determines frequency information to be avoided before the (i+1) th first resource information is received based on the received working frequency information of the second communication unit contained in the (i) th first resource information, wherein i is an integer greater than or equal to 1.

That is, when the first communication unit receives one first resource information, where the time information corresponding to the frequency information is not determined, the first communication unit may consider that the second communication unit always occupies the frequency information before receiving the next first resource information, and determine the frequency information to be avoided before receiving the next first resource information based on the currently known operating frequency information of the second communication unit.

Example 2: the above-mentioned processing method of the frequency information may further include:

the first communication unit periodically sends first query information to the second communication unit and receives corresponding first response information;

in the case that the working frequency information of the second communication unit is determined to be changed based on the first response information, the first communication unit determines that the frequency information to be avoided is invalid.

That is, the first communication unit determines frequency information to be avoided based on the received working frequency information of the second communication unit, periodically and actively queries the frequency occupation condition of the second communication unit, and when the frequency occupation condition of the second communication unit is found to change, the frequency resource is not limited any more. The frequency occupation condition may refer to real-time working frequency information of the second communication unit, or may refer to whether the working frequency information of the second communication unit changes, that is, the query information may be used to obtain the real-time working frequency information of the second communication unit, or the query information may be used to query whether the working frequency information of the second communication unit changes.

Alternatively, the first communication unit may query the frequency occupancy of the second communication unit by means of the coordination unit. That is, the first communication unit periodically transmits first query information to the second communication unit and receives corresponding first response information, including: the first communication unit periodically transmits first query information to the second communication unit through a coordination unit in the terminal device and receives first response information.

Accordingly, for the second communication unit, the processing method of the frequency information further includes:

The second communication unit receives the first inquiry information from the first communication unit and sends corresponding first response information to the first communication unit; the first response information is used for the first communication unit to determine whether the working frequency information of the second communication unit changes.

Optionally, the second communication unit receives the first query information from the first communication unit, and sends corresponding first response information to the first communication unit, including: the second communication unit receives the first inquiry information from the first communication unit through the coordination unit in the terminal equipment and sends corresponding first response information to the first communication unit.

Optionally, for the coordination unit, the processing method of the frequency information further includes:

The coordination unit transmits the first inquiry information to the second communication unit in the case of receiving the first inquiry information from the first communication unit, and transmits the first response information to the first communication unit in the case of receiving the first response information from the second communication unit.

Optionally, after the first communication unit determines the frequency information to be avoided, the method for processing the frequency information further includes:

the first communication unit determines the working frequency information of the first communication unit based on the frequency information to be circumvented.

For example, for some communication units that can autonomously select idle radio resources to initiate communication with an opposite end, such as WiFi communication units, bluetooth communication units, etc., it may determine own operating frequency information based on the frequency information to be circumvented.

Optionally, the first communication unit may report related information to the network based on the frequency information in the first resource information, so as to facilitate the network to schedule the radio resource. Specifically, the method for processing the frequency information further includes:

the first communication unit transmits second resource information related to the operating frequency information of the second communication unit to the network device, the second resource information being used by the network device to determine the operating frequency information of the first communication unit.

For example, for a communication unit that needs to perform communication according to the time-frequency resource scheduled by the network, for example, a mobile communication unit such as a 4G communication unit, a 5G communication unit, etc., it may report second resource information related to the operating frequency information of the second communication unit to the network device, so that the network device schedules the frequency domain resource based on the second resource information.

Optionally, the second resource information may include at least one of the following information:

Operating frequency information of the second communication unit;

Frequency information to be avoided, which is determined based on the working frequency information of the second communication unit;

At least one operating frequency information determined based on the frequency information to be circumvented.

The at least one piece of operating frequency information determined based on the frequency information to be avoided may include other frequency information than the frequency information to be avoided in the available frequency information of the first communication unit, and may be used as the operating frequency information of the first communication unit. Or the at least one piece of operating frequency information determined based on the frequency information to be avoided may include operating frequency information expected by the terminal device, for example, the operating frequency information determined by the terminal device after excluding the frequency information to be avoided.

Alternatively, the second resource information may be transmitted through an RRC or physical layer control information bearer.

Correspondingly, the embodiment of the application also provides a processing method of the frequency information applied to the network equipment. As shown in fig. 13, the method may include:

S410, the network equipment receives second resource information from a first communication unit in the terminal equipment; wherein the second resource information is related to operating frequency information of a second communication unit in the terminal device;

S420, the network equipment determines the working frequency information of the first communication unit based on the second resource information.

Optionally, the second resource information may further include second time information. The second time information may be used for the network device to determine a time range corresponding to the operating frequency information of the first communication unit.

Accordingly, in step S420, the network device determines, based on the second resource information, the operating frequency information of the first communication unit, including:

the network device determines, based on the frequency information in the second resource information, operating frequency information of the first communication unit in a time range corresponding to the second time information.

That is, the first communication unit may also indicate corresponding second time information, i.e. within what time range the frequency information is functioning, when indicating the frequency information to the network. The second time information may for example correspond to the first time information described above, i.e. the second time information indicates the same time range as the first time information. The second time information may include at least one of a start time, an end time, and duration information of the time range.

Optionally, the network device may also determine time information corresponding to the operating frequency information of the first communication unit based on a preset manner. For example, when the first communication unit transmits the second resource information, the network device may not transmit the corresponding time information, and schedule the frequency domain resource and the corresponding time domain resource for the first communication unit based on a preset manner. Two exemplary ways are provided below:

Example 1: the network device determining operating frequency information of the first communication unit based on the second resource information, including: the network device determines the operating frequency information of the first communication unit before receiving the j+1th second resource information based on the frequency information in the received j-th second resource information, wherein j is an integer greater than or equal to 1.

That is, in the case where the network device receives one second resource information, where the time information corresponding to the frequency information is not determined, the network device may consider that the terminal device is frequency-scheduled based on the frequency information in the current second resource information before receiving the next second resource information, for example, in the case where the second resource information includes the operating frequency information of the second communication unit, the terminal device is not scheduled on the operating frequency information before receiving the next second resource information.

The network equipment periodically sends first query information to the first communication unit and receives corresponding first response information;

in the case where it is determined that the operating frequency information of the second communication unit is changed based on the first response information, the network device determines that the operating frequency information of the first communication unit is not determined based on the second resource information.

Accordingly, for the first communication unit, the method for processing frequency information may further include:

The first communication unit receives second query information from the network equipment and sends corresponding second response information to the network equipment; the second response information is used for the network equipment to determine whether the working frequency information of the second communication unit changes.

That is, the network device periodically actively queries the terminal device for frequency information, for example, for frequency information to be circumvented, operating frequency information of the second communication unit, operating frequency information expected by the terminal device, and when the frequency information queried by the network device changes, that is, the operating frequency information of the second communication unit changes, the network device may determine not to schedule the first communication unit based on the second resource information.

Alternatively, in the case that the network device periodically transmits the first query information to the first communication unit and receives the corresponding first response information, the first communication unit may correspondingly also periodically transmit the first query information to the second communication unit and receive the corresponding first response information. And under the condition that the first response information determines that the working frequency information of the second communication unit changes, determining that the frequency information to be avoided is invalid and sending second response information indicating that the working frequency information of the second communication unit changes to the network equipment.

Optionally, in the above method, the first resource information may be sent when the signal-to-noise ratio and/or the interference information of the second communication unit meets a preset condition.

Optionally, the preset condition includes that the signal-to-noise ratio is greater than a first threshold value, and/or that the interference information is greater than a second threshold value.

That is, only when the interference actually occurs, the second communication unit notifies the first communication unit of the operating frequency information to restrict the operating frequency information of the first communication unit, and unnecessary restriction can be avoided, and the flexibility of communication can be improved.

The following provides an example of interference between a 5G communication unit and a WiFi communication unit, in conjunction with some of the alternative embodiments described above. It should be understood that the following is provided only as an application example, and that those skilled in the art may also select other alternative embodiments to implement the methods of the embodiments of the present application.

As described above, the mutual interference between carriers is generally related to the frequency where the carrier is located, for example, harmonic interference is the influence of the frequency multiplication of the interfering carrier on the interfered carrier, intermodulation interference refers to the sum/difference frequency between a plurality of interfering carriers, and adjacent band leakage interference is the influence caused by insufficient isolation between frequency bands. These disturbances may occur not only inside the communication unit but also between a plurality of communication units, such as the 5G communication unit and the WiFi communication unit described herein.

As shown in fig. 14, the 5G communication carrier 5 will interfere with the WiFi communication carrier a when transmitting, so that the WiFi communication performance is degraded. And because the 5G communication unit and the WiFi communication unit are in independent states, the interference is difficult to eliminate or avoid. One approach is to introduce a coordination unit between the 5G communication unit and the WiFi communication unit to communicate information and coordinate resources. For example, as shown in fig. 11, a coordination unit is introduced between the 5G communication unit and the WiFi communication unit, for information interaction between the 5G communication unit and the WiFi communication unit. Of course, the functions of the coordination unit may also be comprised in the 5G communication unit or the WiFi communication unit, which are functionally described herein.

The WiFi communication unit works in the unlicensed frequency band, and is similar to other systems working in the unlicensed frequency band, and the WiFi communication unit is characterized in that the terminal can select unoccupied resources for communication. WiFi communications can have some randomness in the frequency resources used (depending on which resources are free).

Taking fig. 15 as an example, wiFi occupies frequency resource f3 in the range of time t1 to t 3. One way to directly circumvent the interference of the 5G communication unit to the WiFi communication unit is for the WiFi communication unit to inform the 5G communication unit of the first resource information (e.g. the currently occupied frequency information, or the frequency information and the expected occupied time length information) through the coordination unit. In the example of fig. 15, the following may be adopted:

Mode 1: the WiFi communication unit informs the 5G communication unit of the frequency f3 information through the coordination unit.

● After the 5G communication unit receives the frequency information, the WiFi communication unit is considered to communicate through the frequency information in a subsequent period of time, but the time length is not determined

● In case the length of time is not determined, the measures that the 5G communication unit may take are:

1. It is considered that the WiFi communication unit will always occupy the frequency until the changed frequency information is received.

2. The WiFi occupied frequency condition can be periodically and actively inquired through the coordination unit. When the WiFi occupied frequency is found to change, the frequency resource is not limited.

Mode 2: the 5G communication unit is informed of the frequency f3 and the time t1 to t3 range together by the coordination unit.

● After receiving the frequency information, the 5G communication unit considers that WiFi will communicate over the frequency f3 in a subsequent time period t1 to t 3.

After receiving the information of the above embodiment 1 or embodiment 2, the 5G communication unit needs to avoid the time-frequency resource having the interference relationship as much as possible, and as shown in fig. 16, the 5G communication unit needs to avoid the frequency F1 interfered by the frequency F3. There are two places where enhancement processing is required:

● Firstly, after knowing the working frequency of the WiFi communication unit, the 5G communication unit in the terminal can determine the 5G communication frequency resource that may cause interference through the harmonic, intermodulation and leakage frequency relation. However, the mobile communication unit needs the terminal to transmit and receive according to the time-frequency resources scheduled by the base station, the terminal does not have a decision to use the time-frequency resources, and there is no way for the reverse terminal to indicate the working time-frequency resources to the network. Therefore, the terminal frequency resource indication information (i.e., the second resource information) reported by the terminal to the network is required to be introduced here, and the information may be reported through RRC or physical layer control information (the frequency resource indication information may simultaneously carry time information in the above-mentioned mode 2). The frequency resource indication information may include the following:

The o frequency resource indication information is used to indicate frequency information that the terminal desires to avoid, for example, the 5G frequency F1 in fig. 17;

the o frequency resource indication information is used to indicate the operating frequency information of the communication unit causing the interference, such as WiFi frequency f3 in fig. 17;

The o frequency resource indication information is used to indicate the operation frequency information desired by the terminal, for example, 5G frequencies F2 to F4 in fig. 17.

● Second, time information. Another important information when the terminal indicates frequency resource information to the network is the time frame, i.e. how long the frequency resource indication information needs to be active. This information has a clear instruction in the above-described mode 2, and the time information content is not included in the above-described mode 1. If the base station receives the information of mode 1, the following two measures can be taken (similar to the processing of the 5G communication unit in mode 1):

1. The base station does not schedule the terminal on the corresponding frequency in the subsequent time until receiving new frequency indication information;

2. The base station periodically actively inquires the frequency information from the terminal, and the 5G communication unit of the corresponding terminal inquires the WiFi working frequency information from the WiFi communication unit through the coordination unit.

Besides the above-mentioned WiFi communication unit indicates the time-frequency resource information to the 5G communication unit through the coordination unit, so as to avoid the time-frequency resource, it is considered that the interference effect caused by the 5G communication to the WiFi communication is affected by various factors, such as the 5G transmitting power and the WiFi signal strength. A further way is that the information indicative of the time-frequency resources is indicative of the time-frequency resources to the 5G communication unit only if the signal-to-noise ratio of the WiFi is below a certain strength or the interference is above a certain value, which depends on the WiFi communication unit. The benefit of this approach is that the limitation of the time-frequency resources of 5G communications is only removed when interference actually occurs.

In addition, the foregoing is described by taking the example that the 5G communication unit interferes with the WiFi communication, and the interference processing manner of the WiFi communication on the 5G communication unit is similar. However, since WiFi does not have a resource scheduling center similar to the 5G base station, when the 5G communication unit informs the WiFi unit of the frequency and time information of its operation through the coordination unit, the WiFi communication unit should avoid the corresponding WiFi time-frequency resource with interference relationship when selecting the communication resource.

The specific arrangements and implementations of embodiments of the present application have been described above in terms of various embodiments. It can be seen that, with the above at least one embodiment, frequency coordination is performed between the first communication unit and the second communication unit in the terminal device, so that interference between the first communication unit and the second communication unit can be avoided, and communication performance is ensured.
