Abstract

The method is used in the AP, including: the AP suspending a high-speed bus directly when the terminal enters a standby state; the AP resuming the high-speed bus and inquiring a network connection state of the BP when the terminal is wakened; and if connection, the AP continuing to use a wireless data link, otherwise, the BP re-establishing a wireless data link. The method is used in the BP, including: the BP entering a standby state directly when the BP detects that a high-speed bus is suspended; the BP entering a wakening state after detecting that the high-speed bus is resumed, inquiring and feeding back a network connection state of the BP to the AP after receiving an instruction of inquiring the networking state of the AP; re-establishing a wireless data link or maintaining a wireless data link of a current networking after receiving a networking instruction of the AP.

Claims (28)

1. A network connection processing method after wakening a terminal on standby, used in an application processor (AP) of the terminal, comprising: suspending, by the AP, a high-speed bus directly when the terminal will enter a standby state, and not sending an offline instruction to a baseband processor (BP) of the terminal;

resuming, by the AP, the high-speed bus and inquiring a network connection state of the BP of the terminal when the terminal is wakened; and if the network connection state of the BP is connection, then continuing, by the AP, to use a wireless data link, otherwise, instructing, by the AP, the BP to re-establish a wireless data link.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, said inquiring the network connection state of the BP comprises: the AP sending an instruction of inquiring a networking state to the BP to obtain the network connection state of the BP.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, the step of instructing, by the AP the BP to re-establish the wireless data link comprises: sending, by the AP, a networking instruction to the BP to make the BP re-establishes the wireless data link according to a current network state of the BP.

4. A network connection processing method after wakening a terminal on standby, used in a baseband processor (BP) of the terminal, comprising:

entering, by the BP, a standby state directly without notifying the network when the BP detects that a high-speed bus is suspended;

entering, by the BP, a wakening state after the BP detects that the high-speed bus is resumed, and inquiring a network connection state of the BP after receiving an instruction of inquiring a networking state from an application processor (AP) of the terminal, and feeding back the network connection state of the BP to the AP; and

re-establishing, by the BP, a wireless data link or maintaining a wireless data link of a current networking after receiving a networking instruction of the AP.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein,

re-establishing, by the BP, the wireless data link after receiving the networking instruction of the AP, comprises:

re-establishing, by the BP, the wireless data link according to a current network state of the BP after receiving the networking instruction from the AP.

6. An application processor (AP) in a terminal, comprising:

an application program control circuit: send a standby instruction to a high-speed bus host circuit when the terminal will enter a standby state, and send a resuming instruction to the high-speed bus host module when the terminal is wakened; inquire a network connection state of a baseband processor (BP) of the terminal; and if the network connection state of the BP is connection, then continue to use a wireless data link, otherwise, make the BP re-establish a wireless data link; the high-speed bus host circuit is configured to: suspend a high-speed bus after receiving the standby instruction, and not send an offline instruction to the BP of the terminal; and resume the high-speed bus after receiving the resuming instruction.

7. The AP according to claim 6 , wherein,

the application program control circuit is configured to: inquire the network connection state of the BP by the following way:

sending an instruction of inquiring a networking state to the BP to obtain the network connection state of the BP.

8. The AP according to claim 6 , wherein, the application program control circuit is configured to: make the BP re-establish the wireless data link by the following way:

sending a networking instruction to the BP to make the BP re-establishes the wireless data link according to a current network state of the BP.

9. A baseband processor (BP) in a terminal, comprising:

a high-speed bus device circuit, configured to: send a standby instruction to a standby control module after detecting that a high-speed bus is suspended; and send a resuming instruction to the standby control module after detecting that the high-speed bus is resumed;

the standby control circuit, configured to: control the BP to enter a standby state directly without notifying the network after receiving the standby instruction; and

control the BP to enter a wakening state after receiving the resuming instruction; and

a networking control circuit, configured to: inquire a network connection state of the BP after receiving an instruction of inquiring a networking state from an application processor (AP) of the terminal, and feed back the network connection state of the BP to the AP; re-establish a wireless data link or maintaining a wireless data link of a current networking after receiving a networking instruction of the AP.

10. The BP according to claim 9 , wherein,

the networking control circuit is configured to: re-establish the wireless data link after receiving the networking instruction of the AP by the following way:

re-establishing the wireless data link according to a current network state of the BP after receiving the networking instruction from the AP.

11. A terminal, comprising the application processor (AP) described in claim 6 .

12. A terminal, comprising the baseband processor (BP) described in claim 9 .
