[Prior Art], the network can be connected to terminals of different locations and different users, so that digital data can be quickly and efficiently distributed, and various information, materials and knowledge can be shared by many users on the network. In particular, in recent years, the development of the wireless network has been able to remove the shackles of network transmission lines, and to make the wireless Internet terminals portable (p〇rtable) and mobile (ffl〇bHe). The feature 'can provide users with the ability to access network resources anytime, anywhere. As wireless local area networks are gaining attention, in order to make compatible products compatible with each other, IEEE 802.11 wireless regional network (wireiess lan) standards. The main purpose of ieee =2· U is to develop a communication protocol suitable for working in a wireless LAN environment. The most important task is to develop a MAC (Medium Access Control) layer and a solid layer. Therefore, the IEEE 802.11 reference mode is mainly divided into two parts. The first part is to develop media access control (Medium Access c〇ntr〇1, which is designed and implemented independently of the physical layer). The MAC protocol. The second part is to develop the physical layer specifications related to the transmission medium. / Green reference Figure 1. Figure 1 is a typical (for example, 1£咫8〇211 specification) wireless network system Schematic diagram of architecture 10. There is a server S1 in the network system, a plurality of access points (the two points of drawing Apl and Ap2 are represented in Figure 1) and a plurality of workstations (Fig. 1 It is represented by four workstations STA, STA2, STA3 and STA4. The workstations STA1 to STA4, as well as the capture point API and AP2 all have the function of wireless network; in other words 1262003 .......... .................... .: A tongue said that each terminal and each control station can transmit and receive wireless signals to transmit data and messages. It also conforms to a unified network protocol. Each access point API and AP2 are connected to the server S to make the control station. The S1 can also exchange data with each other. The area R1 represents the capture point API and the workstation STM, STA2 can effectively communicate the wireless signal area; outside this area, it is impossible to completely and completely receive the access point workstation STA1 and the like wireless signal. Similarly, the area R2 represents the area where the wireless signal can be effectively exchanged between the AP2, the workstation STA3, and the STA4. Servo! i S1 relays each point _ signal to expand the wireless network ι〇 The range of data exchanged by each workstation is effective. The data between the workstation STA1 and the capture point AP1 is communicated by the transmission of the packet. At the touch of ^, the workstation is in a red state, so it is a relatively energy-intensive behavior. If the second station STA1 does not need to transmit the packet, the workstation (10) can enter the power saving mode = pain = the required energy. According to the standard of the operation of .11, in order to transfer the performance considerations, one is divided into several sub-packages. The batch is delivered to the destination, and when the appropriate sub-packets are delivered, except for the last-sub-packet, each packet will be in the mode τ of "more resources = transfer ma", and the read station is simplified from the first sub-packet. Pass to The last one: the completion of the message is 'Aetive MQde', so the workstation STA must consume power. The rich and the inner eye refer to Figure 2. The second figure is the consumption packet 16 when the sub-packet was previously transmitted. It is divided into _ sub-packages. The _th sub-packet from the time _ ti open =, ° Figure - two seal packets are transmitted at time point t2. Each sub-package and sub-package i two - there is a straight j transmission time At this time, there is no sub-packet transmission but there is a merit-segment, which is caused by several reasons: - is the network access delay between the sub-packet and the sub-package. Usually, in the rain, the network is ideally less than the actual, but, due to the actual contention-based protocol of the 8〇2 u transmission, Waiting for the sheep to wait for more time - this time is the delay time. , (, the sub-package of the special transmission must be lM (f〇3's pass t first ^ surgery Γ (10) to change the towel, the secret is still in the transmission file of the son's reading money packet door, the workstation is in the power consumption State. However, the gap between the two is an unnecessary power segmentation, the longer the touch is, the extra energy is lost. For today’s demand for electronic products, _ 二 茜 , The packet transmission has obvious improvements. -Li Feng (four) Bei's [invention content] One station, expose-view--scale (10), the work in the system = in the =_ young beacon - the first The beacon transmits a plurality of sub-packets to the workstation in a time zone between the _^信=-仏, and receives the plurality of sub-packets at different time intervals after the signal, the second power The node/匕&.3⁄4 the workstation receives the plurality of sub-beacons after the first beacon, and the time interval is less than - the predetermined time is 'transmitted to the workstation for setting up to start, so that the station In the working mode; and when the worker-pre-received the sub-packet and the first-beacon _ is not less than: implementation mode, month 4 test 1 is a schematic diagram of a queuing method for transmitting a plurality of gangs in a wireless transmission system according to the present invention. The packet 21 to be transmitted will pass through the wireless area, Peng 26 passed to a workstation in the road. As mentioned before, the standard of _ 802·11, in order to pass the performance considerations, a transport packet can be divided into several sub-packets (Fragment one) to be delivered to the destination in batches, so First, the packet 21 is divided into n sub-packets (such as sub-packets numbered 1 to n in FIG. 2), and the n sub-packets are sequentially transmitted to the single-package medium in the transmission queue 22 to access the buffer memory%. *Buy 'Zhang 嘱(5) push-packet MAC buffer). The picture shows the sub-packages that are first transmitted to the control block 1 to control the buffer body'. Then, the single-package medium access control buffer memory 24 Passed to the wireless local area network 26 to reach the station. In the process of transmission, there will be two days: the delay of the death '-疋 queue, the other is delay, these time delays will involve the mother. Individual packets arrive at a job The interval between stations (4) The transmission system is transmitted according to the specification of the 11th. #This wireless transmission system workstation will enter the human-power saving mode. The power-saving mode means that the system is even less unnecessary #雷, i 1 or even Let some circuits (such as power amplifiers) be turned off to save constant transmission. - Xiao-I side contact, there will be two adjacent two letters: right: two, this has a fixed period. Therefore, rush, that is, you 曰: ', 曰 有一 has a fixed time zone. In order to receive each periodic recovery work = in the power-saving workstation, must also receive the periodic beacon before each Synchronization is done. (4) Read the current point, the time between the red station and the Na point can be opened another way - the contact is in the process of transmitting the packet to the Guardian, and it will be entrained - "More information" Xibei said that there will be a large number of seals (four) waiting to be transmitted to the workstation, and when m" is set to green, the working state. On the other hand, if "this / know the workstation must always be in the workstation to enter the power-saving mode. / / / / / a few" is not disabled (Disable), then the method Γ ί ί ί ί ί ί How to make the power saving point of the station for the purpose of power saving method for the servant station in the second electric two inventions, and to save the power in the step _. Take the point to transfer the job. In the case of 10, if there are multiple sub-packets to be transmitted at this time, 1262003 5 .: .:; to the workstation, by transmitting the beacon from the nearest beacon (indicated by this first beacon) - the notification signal (traffic indication) to the workstation. In step 120, after receiving the pass= tiger, the workstation returns a power save inquiry control packet (PS_P〇11 c〇ntr〇l packet) to the capture point. In step 130, the capture point identifies a transmitted power save inquiry control packet and transmits a buffered packet to the workstation. Step 14: The workstation will receive each of the plurality of sub-packets at different time points, and if the time interval between the received sub-packets and the first beacon is less than one pre-temple interval, then "more data bits" will be received ( M〇re Data bit) is set to start (10) to make the workstation in active mode (Active M〇de). In contrast, in step 15, if the time interval between the received sub-packets and the first beacon is not less than a predetermined time, the "MQre Data bit" is set to "Disable". , making the workstation in province =

Figure 5 is a diagram of Lin Facai's law, Gana, and the province's Lai: The figure shows four sub-pictures of (a)(6)(6)(4). This is true, where, subgraph (4) represents five different time-solid packets: sub-packet tl of tl, sub-packet 2 of t2, and two = sub-packet 5. Sub-picture (6) indicates that a plurality of periodic beacons are received by the station, and the time period between the two beacons is W. Figure (c) shows the power consumption of the _A workstation in (4), and Figure (c) 盥 (8) The county hrr axis is used (the meaning will be changed by the power consumption of the workstation afterwards into the power-saving mode via the following % In the method of the present invention, it is judged when the workstation is ti-t beacon <tbint*(time of l-(2); ^ is the length of the reset time received by the workstation: Na ^ interval. If the judgment is true, then set the sub-packet of f to the time of the previous beacon to start, and the workstation 1262003 ft.
