Method and device for waking up equipment

The present application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. JP-A No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. In the application.

Technical field

The present application relates to the field of communications, and in particular, to a method and device for waking up a device.

Background technique

The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) has developed the IEEE 802.11 standard and plans to develop a Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) Internet of Things (IoT) standard. The goal is Promote Wi-Fi technology to IoT devices and wearable electronic devices. Existing IoT devices and wearable electronic devices, such as sports bracelets, smart watches, and digital medical sensors, are generally small in size, and the capacity and capacity of portable batteries are limited, while IoT devices and wearable electronics The equipment has a higher battery life requirement. In traditional Wi-Fi communication technology, a device idle listening channel wastes a lot of power. In order to reduce the waste of power caused by the idle listening channel of the device, Wi-Fi technology introduces a dormancy mechanism, that is, the Wi-Fi module goes to sleep without data transmission (ie, closes the transmitter). The traditional Wi-Fi sleep mechanism can reduce the power consumption of Wi-Fi. However, if a device is in a dormant state, the access point cannot send a message to the device. The access point needs to wait until the device wakes up to send a message to the device, which increases the communication delay and does not achieve on-demand (on- Demand real-time data transmission. In order to reduce the communication delay caused by the traditional Wi-Fi sleep mechanism, the device usually follows a certain sleep mode, periodically wakes up to check whether the access point has data to be transmitted to the device, and reduces the sleep time ratio of the device. The energy consumption of the equipment.

In order to solve the above problem, an ultra-low power Wake-up Radio/Receiver (WUR) module, that is, an auxiliary wake-up module, is added to the device. The auxiliary wake-up module coexists with the device's primary communication module (eg, 802.11 module). When there is no message to receive or transmit, the main communication interface of the device's main communication module enters deep sleep, and the auxiliary wake-up interface of the auxiliary wake-up module is turned on for ultra-low power listening.

The wake-up device's auxiliary wake-up interface enables the duty cycle, periodically "wake-sleep", as shown in Figure 1. In order to avoid the communication overhead and energy overhead brought by the time synchronization, the wake-up device and the wake-up device do not maintain time synchronization. In the asynchronous mode, the wake-up device cannot accurately know the wake-up window of the wake-up interface of the wake-up device, and cannot ensure that many wake-up devices are awake efficiently, and the air interface of the wake-up device is inefficient.

Consumption.

The embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

The terms "first", "second", "third", "fourth", etc. (if present) in the specification and claims of the present application and the above figures are used to distinguish similar objects without having to use To describe a specific order or order. It is to be understood that the data so used may be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments described herein can be implemented in a sequence other than what is illustrated or described herein. In addition, the term "comprises" or "comprises" or any variations thereof, is intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, for example, a process, method, system, product, or device that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those that are clearly listed Steps or units, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products or devices.

As shown in FIG. 2, in the network architecture, the main communication module provides a main communication interface, and the auxiliary wake-up module provides an auxiliary wake-up interface. When the first device (wake-up device) has a message to be transmitted to the second device (wake-up device), the first device first sends a wake-up packet (WUP) to the secondary wake-up interface of the second device. After receiving the wake-up frame, the secondary wake-up interface of the second device checks the receiving address (Receive Address, RA) of the wake-up frame and confirms the correctness and authenticity of the wake-up frame. If the RA carried by the wake-up frame matches the address of the secondary wake-up interface of the second device, and the wake-up frame is correct and true, the secondary wake-up interface of the second device sends a wake-up signal to the primary communication interface of the second device, Wake up the primary communication interface of the second device.

For the sake of understanding, the specific process of the embodiment of the present application is described below. The trigger message sent by the awake device may be a broadcast trigger message or a multicast trigger message. Referring to FIG. 3, when the trigger message is a broadcast trigger message, the embodiment of the present application One embodiment of a method of waking up a device includes:

301. The wake-up device determines a wake-up time shift of the at least one wake-up device.

The wake-up device determines a wake-up time shift of the at least one wake-up device, the wake-up device is a device to be woken up by the wake-up device, each wake-up device and the wake-up device having at least one primary communication interface and at least one auxiliary wake-up interface.

It should be noted that the wake-up time of each awake device is the difference between the first moment and the second moment respectively associated with each awake device, and the first moment associated with each awake device is a wake-up device. The moment when the wake-up frame is to be sent to the at least one awake device, the second time is the time at which the wake-up device sends the last one of the at least two broadcast trigger messages to the at least one awake device.

The wake-up device can determine the wake-up time displacement of the wake-up device in multiple manners. Mode 1: After the wake-up device acquires the specific number of the wake-up devices or the wake-up device is in the association process, each wake-up device is assigned a wake-up time shift. It may be randomly assigned or allocated according to preset rules. Mode 2: The wake-up device calculates the wake-up time displacement of each wake-up device according to the preset information. The preset information is information common to the wake-up device and the wake-up device. The preset information may be a Media Access Control Address (MAC Address), and the MAC address is 48 bits; the preset information may also be an Association Identifier (AID), and the length is 16 bits. , or Partial Association Identifier (PAID), or Hashed Partial Association Identifier (Hashed PAID), with a length of 9 bits. For example, the calculation method may be: wake-up time shift = PAID * W, or wake-up time shift = (Hashed PAID) * W, where W is the length of the wake-up window of the wake-up device's auxiliary wake-up interface.

It can be understood that the number of the devices to be awakened may be one, or two, three, four or five, and may be other devices that are awakened, which is not limited herein. When the number of devices to be woken up is two or more, the wake-up time shift of each wake-up device may be the same or different, and multiple wake-up devices with the same wake-up time shift may form a multicast group (Group -cast group).

For example, when the number of devices to be woken up is two or more, the wake-up time shift of each wake-up device may be the same or different. As shown in FIG. 4, the awake device includes the awake device 1 to the awake device 5, that is, the awake device includes the first device to the fifth device. For example, the device to be awakened includes a first device to a fifth device, and the wake-up time displacement of the fourth device is the same as the wake-up time of the fifth device, and the wake-up time displacement of the first device is different from the wake-up time of the second device. The wake-up time shift of the device is different from the wake-up time shift of the third device.

302. The wake-up device acquires a wake-up time displacement of the wake-up device.

The wake-up device acquires the wake-up time displacement of the wake-up device, which is the device that the wake-up device is about to wake up, the wake-up device having at least one primary communication interface and at least one auxiliary wake-up interface.

It should be noted that the wake-up time of the wake-up device is the difference between the first time and the second time. The first time is the time when the wake-up device will send the wake-up frame to the wake-up device, and the second time is the wake-up device is awakened. The moment when the device sends the last one of the at least two broadcast trigger messages.

The wake-up device can determine the wake-up time displacement of the wake-up device in multiple ways. Mode 1: The wake-up device receives the allocated wake-up time shift sent by the wake-up device; Mode 2: The wake-up device calculates the wake-up according to the preset information. The wake-up time of the device is shifted. The preset information is information shared by the wake-up device and the wake-up device. For example, the preset information may be a MAC Address, and the MAC address is 48 bits; the preset information may also be an associated identifier. A length of 16 bits, or a partial associated identifier, a length of 9 bits, or a hashed partial associated identifier. For example, the calculation method may be: wake-up time shift = PAID * W, or wake-up time shift = (Hashed PAID) * W, where W is the length of the wake-up window of the wake-up device's auxiliary wake-up interface.

The times at which the plurality of awakened devices that receive the multicast wake-up frame expect to receive the wake-up frame are the same.

It can be understood that when the wake-up device needs to wake up at least two wake-up devices, the wake-up device needs to send a series of broadcast trigger messages in time T, which is the duty-cycling of the wake-up device's auxiliary wake-up interface. The period is that the number of broadcast trigger messages included in the series of broadcast trigger messages is N, and N is greater than or equal to T/W, and N is an integer greater than or equal to 2.

Determining, by the first device, the sleep duration of the auxiliary wake-up interface of the first device according to the content of the received broadcast trigger message and the wake-up time displacement; the first device causes the auxiliary wake-up interface of the first device to enter the sleep at least according to the sleep duration 1 State, and wake up the auxiliary wake-up interface to wait for the wake-up frame after the sleep duration ends, and the wake-up frame may be a unicast wake-up frame or a multicast wake-up frame. If the at least two broadcast trigger messages include index information, the awake device acquires index information from at least two broadcast trigger messages, the index information indicating the number K of broadcast trigger messages to be transmitted remaining. The first device may determine the sleep duration I of the auxiliary wake-up interface according to the following formula: I sleep duration I=K*M+S; M is the minimum time interval between two adjacent broadcast trigger messages; S is wake-up of the wake-up device Time shift. In this case, the first device needs to obtain the minimum time interval M between the two adjacent broadcast trigger messages sent by the wake-up device. For example, the minimum time interval M can be determined by the wake-up device and sent to the first device. The steps performed by the second device to the fifth device are the same as those performed by the first device, and are not described herein again. Wake up if at least two broadcast trigger messages do not include index information The device can determine that the sleep duration of the auxiliary wake-up interface is S, and S is the wake-up time shift of the wake-up device.

It can be understood that the method of determining the sleep duration of the wake-up interface of the wake-up device can also be used to determine the time at which the wake-up interface of the wake-up device desires to receive the wake-up frame. For example, the sleep duration of the auxiliary wake-up interface is the time at which the auxiliary wake-up interface expects to receive the wake-up frame.

If the wake-up device wakes up two or more wake-up devices using multicast mode, the wake-up device needs to group the wake-up devices in advance and divide the associated wake-up devices into multiple multicast groups.

308. The wake-up device determines a time at which the wake-up frame is sent according to the wake-up time shift.

The wake-up device determines a first time to transmit a wake-up frame associated with each of the devices being woken up based on the determined wake-up time shift and the second time of each of the wake-up devices.

Since the wake-up device needs to compete for the channel first, then the wake-up frame can be sent. The moment when the wake-up frame is sent is the time at which the wake-up device expects to be able to send the wake-up frame. In fact, the exact moment when the wake-up device sends the wake-up frame is random, and the randomness is caused by the wake-up device competing for the channel. The exact moment at which the wake-up device actually sends the wake-up frame is the time at which the wake-up frame is expected to be transmitted, or later than the time at which the wake-up frame is expected to be transmitted (ie, the time to contend for the channel is increased). The wake-up time shift is determined based on the time at which the desired wake-up device sends the wake-up frame.

It should be noted that the waking device may send a unicast wake-up frame to the awake device according to the determined moment of sending the wake-up frame, and sequentially wake up the plurality of awake devices, as shown in FIG. 4 .

It can be understood that if there are two or more unicast wake-up time shifts of the device being awakened, the wake-up device can also send a multicast wake-up frame to wake up the plurality of wake-up devices. As shown in FIG. 4, the fourth device and the fifth device have the same unicast wakeup time offset and can form a multicast group. The multicast wake-up frame may carry the identification information of the auxiliary wake-up interface of two or more wake-up devices; or, if two or more wake-up devices are used as a multicast group, the multicast wake-up frame It can carry the identification information of the multicast group (that is, the Group ID). The wake-up device may only send a unicast wake-up frame; or, the wake-up device may first send a unicast wake-up frame and then send a multicast wake-up frame; or, the wake-up device may first send a multicast wake-up frame, and then send a unicast wake-up frame, specifically No restrictions are imposed.

The wake-up device receives a wake-up frame sent by the wake-up device, and the wake-up frame is used to wake up the main communication interface of the wake-up device.

Since the exact moment when the wake-up device sends the wake-up frame is random (randomness is due to the contention channel), it may take some time for the wake-up device to wait for a period of time to receive the wake-up frame after waking up. Further, in order to prevent the wake-up device from missing the wake-up frame, the wake-up device's auxiliary wake-up interface needs to wake up a certain time in advance to wait for the wake-up frame to be received. The wake-up time of the wake-up device of the wake-up device and the time to wait for receiving the wake-up frame may be determined by a specific device internal implementation, which may not be limited herein.

It should be noted that the wake-up device receives the wake-up frame through the auxiliary wake-up interface, and the wake-up frame may be a unicast wake-up frame. Or multicast wake-up frame. If the wakeup frame is a unicast wakeup frame, the awake device needs to check whether the received address carried in the unicast wakeup frame matches the identifier of the local auxiliary wakeup interface; if not, the awake device can ignore the unicast wakeup A frame, for example, the first device (or one or more of the second device to the fifth device) stops receiving and processing the unicast wake frame.

If the wake-up frame is a multicast wake-up frame, the device to be awakened needs to determine whether the multicast address carried in the multicast wake-up frame matches the identifier of the local multicast group, or the wake-up device needs to determine the carried in the multicast wake-up frame. Whether the multicast address includes the identification information of the local auxiliary wake-up interface; if the identifier information of the local auxiliary wake-up interface is not matched or not included, the wake-up device may ignore the multicast wake-up frame, for example, stop receiving and processing the multicast.

The basic service set information carried in the wake-up frame may be part of the receiving address or the multicast address or as part of the sending address.

If the frame format of the wake-up frame includes frame authentication information, the wake-up device may authenticate the authenticity of the received wake-up frame according to at least the frame authentication information, that is, whether the wake-up frame is from a legally associated wake-up device.

If the frame format of the wake-up frame includes frame check information, the wake-up device may determine, according to the frame check information, whether the received wake-up frame is correct, that is, check whether the wake-up frame is in error during transmission.

311. The awakened device determines, according to the wake-up frame, an active state of the wake-up device's primary communication interface and/or the auxiliary wake-up interface.

The wake-up device determines the operational status of the wake-up device's primary communication interface and/or the auxiliary wake-up interface based on the wake-up frame.

After the wake-up device receives a real and correct unicast wake-up frame or multicast wake-up frame associated with itself, the wake-up device determines the local primary communication interface and/or according to at least the content of the received wake-up frame. Or the working state of the auxiliary wake-up interface. The specific determination method is as follows:

The wake-up device wakes up the main communication interface of the wake-up device according to the wake-up frame, and adjusts the auxiliary wake-up interface of the wake-up device to be in an off state; or, the wake-up device wakes up the main communication interface of the wake-up device according to the wake-up frame, and keeps the wake-up device The auxiliary wake-up interface is in an on state; or, the wake-up device keeps the main communication module of the wake-up device in an on state according to the wake-up frame, and adjusts the auxiliary wake-up interface of the wake-up device to be in an off state or the wake-up device remains according to the wake-up frame. The main communication module of the wake-up device is turned off, and the auxiliary wake-up interface of the wake-up device is adjusted to be in an off state.

In the embodiment of the present application, in the asynchronous mode, the wake-up device determines, according to the broadcast trigger message and the wake-up time displacement, the time that the wake-up interface of the wake-up device receives the wake-up frame, so that the auxiliary wake-up interface of the wake-up device is as much as possible. The state and avoiding the auxiliary wake-up interface missing the wake-up frame improves the air interface efficiency when waking up multiple devices in asynchronous mode and further reduces the power consumption of the wake-up device.

For the sake of understanding, the following describes the specific process of the embodiment of the present application. Referring to FIG. 8 , when the trigger message is a multicast trigger message, another embodiment of the method for waking up the device in the embodiment of the present application includes:

Mode 2: The wake-up device calculates the multicast wake-up time displacement of each multicast group according to the preset information. The preset information is The information shared by the wake-up device and the wake-up device, for example, the preset information may be a Group Identifier (Group ID) or a Hashed Group Identifier (Hashed Group ID). For example, the calculation method may be: wake-up time shift = (Group ID) * W, or wake-up time shift = (Hashed Group ID) * W, where W is the length of the wake-up window of the wake-up device's auxiliary wake-up interface.

It can be understood that there are at least one multicast group, and the number of devices to be woken up in each multicast group is at least two, three, four, or five, and other numbers of devices that are woken up. , specifically here is not limited.

802. The wake-up device acquires a wake-up time shift of the wake-up device.

It should be noted that the wake-up time of the wake-up device is the difference between the first time and the second time, and the first time is a time when the wake-up device sends a wake-up frame to the multicast group to which the device to be awakened belongs, and the second time is The moment when the wake-up device sends the last multicast trigger message in at least two multicast trigger messages to the multicast group to which the wake-up device belongs.

The wake-up device can determine the wake-up time displacement of the wake-up device in multiple manners. Mode 1: The wake-up device receives the allocated multicast wake-up time offset sent by the wake-up device; Mode 2: The wake-up device calculates according to the preset information. The multicast wake-up time of the wake-up device is shifted. The preset information is information common to the wake-up device and the wake-up device. For example, the preset information may be a Group Identifier (Group ID) or a hashed group. Hashed Group Identifier (Hashed Group ID). For example, the calculation method may be: wake-up time shift = (Group ID) * W, or wake-up time shift = (Hashed Group ID) * W, where W is the length of the wake-up window of the wake-up device's auxiliary wake-up interface.
