Abstract

A method for wireless communication, applied to a terminal device connecting with a first network and a second network, includes reducing, by the terminal device when an uplink duty cycle of the second network is greater than a maximum uplink duty cycle of the second network, at least one of a power class of the first network and the second network or the uplink duty cycle of the second network. The uplink duty cycle of the second network is a proportion of time domain resources that can be used for uplink transmission in a time unit.

Claims (39)

1. A method for wireless communication, applied to a terminal device connecting with a first network and a second network, comprising:

reducing, by the terminal device when an uplink duty cycle of the second network is greater than a maximum uplink duty cycle of the second network, at least one of a power class of the first network and the second network or the uplink duty cycle of the second network, wherein the uplink duty cycle of the second network is a proportion of time domain resources that can be used for uplink transmission in a time unit.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the uplink duty cycle of the second network is configured by a network device in the second network, or is determined autonomously by the terminal device.

3. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

acquiring, by the terminal device, a current uplink-downlink ratio of the first network; and

determining, by the terminal device, the maximum uplink duty cycle of the second network according to the current uplink-downlink ratio of the first network, and a correspondence between uplink-downlink ratios of the first network and maximum uplink duty cycles of the second network.

4. The method according to claim 3 , further comprising:

reporting, by the terminal device, the maximum uplink duty cycle of the second network to a network device of the second network.

5. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the correspondence comprises a plurality of first correspondences, and

the determining, by the terminal device, the maximum uplink duty cycle of the second network according to the current uplink-downlink ratio of the first network, and a correspondence between uplink-downlink ratios of the first network and maximum uplink duty cycles of the second network comprises:

determining, by the terminal device, the maximum uplink duty cycle of the second network according to a maximum transmit power of the first network, a maximum transmit power of the second network, the current uplink-downlink ratio of the first network, and the plurality of first correspondences.

6. The method according to claim 5 , further comprising:

determining, by the terminal device, the plurality of first correspondences.

7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the determining, by the terminal device, the plurality of first correspondences comprises:

determining, by adjusting an uplink ratio of the second network when the first network transmits a signal at a first maximum output power and the second network transmits a signal at a second maximum output power, a target uplink duty cycle of the second network when a specific absorption ratio (SAR) value reaches a preset value; and

determining the target uplink duty cycle of the second network as the maximum uplink duty cycle of the second network corresponding to a first uplink-downlink ratio, wherein the first uplink-downlink ratio is a current uplink-downlink ratio of the first network.

8. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the first maximum output power is 23 dBm or 26 dBm.

9. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the second maximum output power is 23 dBm or 26 dBm.

10. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first network is a long term evolution (LTE) network, and the second network is a new radio NR network.

11. A terminal device, connecting with a first network and a second network, comprising: a processor and a memory, wherein the memory is configured to store a computer program, and the processor, when calling and running the computer program stored in the memory, is configured to:

reduce, when an uplink duty cycle of the second network is greater than a maximum uplink duty cycle of the second network, at least one of a power class of the first network and the second network or the uplink duty cycle of the second network, wherein the uplink duty cycle of the second network is a proportion of time domain resources that can be used for uplink transmission in a time unit.

12. The terminal device according to claim 11 , wherein the uplink duty cycle of the second network is configured by a network device in the second network, or is determined autonomously by the terminal device.

13. The terminal device according to claim 11 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

acquire a current uplink-downlink ratio of the first network; and

determine the maximum uplink duty cycle of the second network according to the current uplink-downlink ratio of the first network, and a correspondence between uplink-downlink ratios of the first network and maximum uplink duty cycles of the second network.

14. The terminal device according to claim 13 , further comprising a transceiver, wherein the processor is further configured to:

report, via the transceiver, the maximum uplink duty cycle of the second network to a network device of the second network.

15. The terminal device according to claim 13 , wherein the correspondence comprises a plurality of first correspondences, and

the processor is further configured to:

determine the maximum uplink duty cycle of the second network according to a maximum transmit power of the first network, a maximum transmit power of the second network, the current uplink-downlink ratio of the first network, and the plurality of first correspondences.

16. The terminal device according to claim 15 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

determine the plurality of first correspondences.

17. The terminal device according to claim 16 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

determine, by adjusting an uplink ratio of the second network when the first network transmits a signal at a first maximum output power and the second network transmits a signal at a second maximum output power, a target uplink duty cycle of the second network when a specific absorption ratio (SAR) value reaches a preset value; and

determine the target uplink duty cycle of the second network as the maximum uplink duty cycle of the second network corresponding to a first uplink-downlink ratio, wherein the first uplink-downlink ratio is a current uplink-downlink ratio of the first network.

18. The terminal device according to claim 17 , wherein at least one of the first maximum output power or the second maximum output power is 23 dBm or 26 dBm.

19. The terminal device according to claim 11 , wherein the first network is a long term evolution LTE network, and the second network is a new radio NR network.

20. A chip, comprising: a processor, configured to call and run a computer program from a memory, thereby causing a terminal device provided with the chip to implement a method for wireless communication, wherein the terminal device is connected with a first network and a second network, and the method comprises:
