In order to better understand the application, simple introduction is done to content relevant to method provided by the embodiments of the present application below.

Referring to Fig. 1, the logically practical side AP also includes WiFi interface and WUR interface, but for current 802.11 standard, the signal that WiFi interface is sent is usually from orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing, abbreviation OFDM) broadband signal, and wake-up signal is narrow band signal, is considered for reducing cost and simplifying structure, can use OFDM wideband transmitter (being located in WiFi interface) and sends wake-up signal.For example, the portion subcarriers of ofdm signal are vacant and only send signal on the corresponding narrowband of wake-up signal, to generate narrow band signal, here it is the examples that narrow band signal is generated using OFDM wideband transmitter, therefore the side AP only includes a module in Fig. 1.It should be strongly noted that WiFi interface and WUR interface can also be realized respectively in the specific implementation of the side AP.In addition, AP and STA all only one antennas in Fig. 1, this mainly considers that WiFi interface and WUR interface using in the case of similar frequency bands carrier wave (for example, 2.4GHz), can share the same antenna, to save cost and simplify device structure.But when WiFi interface and WUR interface use different frequency range carrier wave, the two should configure different antennae.For example, WiFi interface uses 5GHz frequency range, WUR interface uses 2.4GHz frequency range, and the two should correspond to different antennae at this time.

Why STA can reduce power consumption using WiFi interface compared to direct using WUR interface, main reason is that wake-up signal sends (power consumption that equipment sends the narrower equipment of bandwidth used in signal is smaller) by narrowband, meanwhile the reception and decoding of wake-up signal are simple more than traditional 802.11 frames.Wake-up signal generallys use the modulation system for being easy to receiving end demodulation, as on-off keying (on-off keying, abbreviation OOK) is modulated.By taking OOK is modulated as an example, receiving end has noenergy judgement to receive the information of signaling bearer by receiving signal, for example, having energy is 1, noenergy 0,1 and 0 respectively represents a kind of information.And traditional 802.11 frames are due to using OFDM in transmitting terminal, information group check code (block check character, abbreviation BCC) (being referred to as exclusive or check), low density parity check code (low density parity check code, abbreviation LDPC) etc. handled, correspondingly, receiving end need to execute Fast Fourier Transform (fast fourier transformation, abbreviation FFT), using forward error correction (forward error correction, abbreviation FEC) decoding etc. sophisticated signals processing operation, these operations need to expend big energy.

Referring to fig. 2, a kind of specific design of wake-up packet is shown.Wherein, traditional Short Training domain (legacy short training field, abbreviation L-STF), traditional long training domain (legacy long training field, abbreviation L-LTF), traditional signal domain (legacy signal field, be denoted as L-SIG) be traditional WiFi message (being referred to as 802.11 message) the leading part (preamble), it is sent in the integral multiple bandwidth of 20MHz or 20MHz using OFDM mode, for backward compatibility, so that tradition WiFi equipment (such as, can be STA above) it can judge currently to wrap as WiFi data packet accordingly, to select corresponding channel to connect Receive decision threshold.The load (Payload) of wake-up packet is partially using the modulation system for being easy to demodulate, as OOK modulation (such as, it is specifically as follows amplitude shift keying (amplitude shift keying, abbreviation ASK)), wake-up packet can be sent on more narrow bandwidth, such as 2MHz channel, 4MHz channel, 5MHz channel etc. (minimum bandwidth needed for the channel of conventional transmission WiFi message is 20MHz), so that the energy consumption of receiving end is smaller.

The load of wake-up packet includes waking up the part leading (wake-up preamble) and media access control (media access control, abbreviation MAC).Short Training domain (the short training field of the former similar traditional Wifi frame, abbreviation STF) and long training domain (long training field, abbreviation LTF), for synchronizing, automatic growth control (automatic gain control, abbreviation AGC) and channel estimation etc..The part MAC of the similar traditional Wifi frame of the latter, it further comprise MAC header (Header), frame (frame body), Frame Check Sequence (frame check sequence, abbreviation FCS), the part MAC may carry out simple channel coding using modes such as duplication code, spreading code, Manchester codes, to improve reliability.Waking up may include a string of particular sequences in leading, the WUR interface of STA may not receive part legacy preamble (legacy preamble) of front, but directly detect the particular sequence, to identify the beginning of wake-up packet.It when the WUR interface of STA is to wake-up packet, and detects from the part the MAC of wake-up packet oneself mark (unicast/multicast/broadcast address), then sends wake-up signal to WiFi interface.Legacy preamble can be not added in the considerations of for transmitting efficiency, wake-up packet, and the part MAC can also not use channel coding.In addition to OOK, other modulation systems for being easy to demodulate, such as frequency shift keying (frequency-shift keying, abbreviation FSK) are can also be used in payload segment.
