Classification: CPC H  Y | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. A mode switching method implemented by a terminal device, wherein the mode switching method comprises:
accessing a WI-FI network;
communicating, in a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) mode, with an access point that provides an access service of the WI-FI network;
obtaining a first received signal strength and a first throughput of the WI-FI network in the MIMO mode;
switching from the MIMO mode to a single-input single-output (SISO) mode when the first received signal strength is greater than a first strength threshold and when the first throughput is less than a first throughput threshold;
obtaining a second throughput of the WI-FI network and a temperature value of the terminal device in the SISO mode; and
switching from the SISO mode to the MIMO mode when the second throughput is greater than a second throughput threshold and when the temperature value is less than a preset temperature threshold, wherein the second throughput threshold is greater than the first throughput threshold.
