Embodiment
For making the object, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearly understand, hereafter will be described in further detail technical solution of the present invention by reference to the accompanying drawings.It should be noted that, when not conflicting, the feature in the embodiment of the application and embodiment can combine arbitrarily mutually.
Embodiment 1
Present inventor proposes, Powersave in wireless network refers to the Sleep (sleep) of Station, and this Sleep is not the Sleep of whole system, particularly, should be the Sleep of Receiver (reception antenna) in its WIFI.Due to Station during sleep or timing can Transmit (transmission), therefore the state of the current Station of AP can be notified by this, when AP knows that the Receiver of Station is in Sleep state, Station transmission frame would not be given.Certainly, Station is before Sleep, and need to send a special frame to AP, notice APStation will sleep, by this frame, AP remembers that Station has slept, and then AP send data separately would not to this Station.If now, AP finds the Staion not being connected to other, then AP enters low-power consumption mode, stops high-power transmitting, thus reaches the object of intelligent energy-saving.
Based on above-mentioned thought, the present embodiment provides a kind of method of wireless terminal intelligent energy-saving, comprising:
In AP terminal works process, after connecting with asking the Station accessed, if the sleep notice that the Station receiving connection sends, then described AP terminal enters low-power consumption mode, until the notice that the instruction receiving Station transmission normally works.
Wherein, the sleep notice that Station sends can adopt setting frame to transmit.
Particularly, when AP terminal receives after setting frame instruction Station that Station sends enters sleep, if AP terminal finds the Staion not being connected to other, now AP terminal just can enter low-power consumption mode.That is, all Station that AP terminal only receives connection just enter low-power consumption mode after all sending sleep notice.
In addition, the low-power consumption mode that in the present embodiment, AP terminal enters can preset.Specifically according to the situation of AP terminal, several low-power consumption mode can be preset, and the low-power consumption mode preset by the coverage of AP terminal and can also expect that the Staion quantity accessed adjusts in advance.Such as, low-power consumption mode refers to that AP terminal works under the low power value of setting; Or AP terminal carries out high-power transmitting at setting-up time, remaining time works under the low power value of setting.Wherein, the low power value of setting comprises zero energy.
After being also noted that AP terminal enters low-power consumption mode, only timing sends Beacon broadcast frame in network.When needing when there being communication data packet to issue by AP the Station be connected with AP terminal, AP is by data pack buffer.Due to the Station of sleep, can wake up every now and then between sleep period, to check the state in Beacon frame, like this, then receive time Station just can find that there is the data to oneself.And when Station and AP terminal disconnects time, AP terminal continues to enter low-power consumption mode, just timing sends the existence of Beacon frame informing network AP terminal in network.
The specific implementation process of said method is described below in conjunction with Fig. 1.This process comprises following operation:
Step 100:AP end side has checked whether that Station accesses, if had, step 200, otherwise enters step 300;
Usual connection frame (Association) has access request (ProbeRequest) and accesses response (ProbeResponse) accordingly.Have the states such as channel (Channel) required for it and data rate (DataRate) in the Request of Association, so as to allow AP determine whether to allow it and oneself set up Association.And whether association is successful, mainly see whether the conditional code (Statuscode) in Response is successfully (Success).
Step 200: check whether the Station of access enters sleep pattern, if so, enters step 300, otherwise enters step 400;
Particularly, when AP detection is to when having Station to connect with it, in order to save service time of battery, the Station be in wireless network may enter resting state after some time automatically.If when the Receiver of Station is in Sleep state, Station transmission frame would not be given.Station is before Sleep, and can send a setting frame to AP, tell that its Station of AP terminal will sleep, AP terminal remembers it is that this Station sleeps by this frame.
Step 300:AP enters low-power consumption mode, and timing sends Beacon frame to network, and returns step 100;
Wherein, when AP end-probing connects without Station and it time, and when not receiving any ProbeRequest frame, AP terminal directly can enter low-power consumption mode, and just fixed time broadcast sends Beacon frame, is used for the existence of informing network AP.Whether this time, Station can scan Beacon by Scan, thus learnt the existence of AP, also can seek AP exist by initiatively sending Probe when scanning.
In addition, when the Station as above-mentioned steps 200 judgement access enters sleep pattern, AP terminal also can enter low-power consumption mode.Especially, when AP terminal has access to multiple Station, when needing to judge that all Station of access enter sleep pattern, AP terminal just can enter low-power consumption mode.
Step 400:AP terminal normally works, process ends.
When AP detection to have Station and it connect time, if Station is in normal operating conditions, then AP does not enter low-power consumption mode, be in the pattern of normal work, and Beacon frame fixed time broadcast sends, and is used for the existence of informing network AP.
