Embodiment Construction

[0019] see figure 1 , figure 1 It is a flow chart of a control method of a wifi chip provided by an embodiment of the present invention when the STA mode and the AP mode coexist. Such as figure 1 Shown, method of the present invention comprises the following steps:

[0020] Step S1: Receive an instruction to simultaneously enable the STA mode and the AP mode.

[0021] Step S2: The wifi chip switches to a different channel in STA mode to scan for external hotspots.

[0022] Step S3: The wifi chip switches to different channels following the STA mode in the AP mode, and at the same time sends different switching instructions to the external base station connected to it, instructing the external base station to also switch different channels following the STA mode, so that the wifi chip is in the AP mode The communication connection is still maintained with the external base station.

[0023] Therefore, in this embodiment, the channel conflict situation when the STA mode and...

Abstract

The invention discloses a wifi chip and a control method thereof during the coexistence of a station (STA) mode and an access point (AP) mode. The method comprises the steps of receiving instructions for simultaneously starting the STA mode and the AP mode; enabling the wifi chip to be switched to different channels under the STA mode so as to scan external access points; enabling the wifi chip to follow the STA mode under the AP mode to be switched to different channels, sending different switching channels to external stations connected with the wifi chip, and indicating the external stations to follow the STA mode as well to be switched to different channels, so that the wifi chip still keeps communication connection with the external stations under the AP mode. Therefore, through the mode, the problem of channel conflict during the coexistence of STA mode and the AP mode is solved, and data transmission stability of the wifi chip under the AP mode is effectively guaranteed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of communication, in particular to a wifi chip and its control method when the STA mode and the AP mode coexist. Background technique [0002] The prior art wifi chips include STA (Station, base station) mode or AP (Access Point, hotspot) mode. Among them, when the wifi chip uses one of the STA mode and the AP mode, there will be no channel conflict problem. However, when a wifi chip acts as both a Station and an AP at the same time, that is, when the same wifi chip is in STA mode and AP mode at the same time, there is a channel conflict. Because, in the STA mode of the wifi chip, it will scan external hotspots and need to switch to each channel. In the AP mode of the wifi chip, the wifi fixes a channel, and then waits for the external base station (Station) to actively connect. After the connection is successful, data communication will be performed on this channel. A wifi chip can only work on one chann...
