## Abstract

Systems and methods for a link connection method for an electronic device are provided. An operating parameter of at least one application is acquired in response to detecting at least one application running in the foreground by the electronic device. A connection state of a communication link of the at least one application is detected, the communication link comprising at least a first communication link and a second communication link. A smart link aggregation is performed on the first communication link and the second communication link according to the operating parameter.
