Therefore, if the terminal is in a mobile state on a bus or a private car, it will often be unable to connect to the WLAN network or if the WLAN network is connected frequently, and the line is frequently dropped. At this time, the user switches to the WLAN network and interferes with the user's use of 2G/3G. Internet access, so it affects the user's online experience.
