Method for waking up wireless device, transmitting device and receiving device

This application claims the priority of the Chinese Patent Application, filed on Dec. 19, 2016, filed on Jan. 19,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, In this application.

Technical field

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

Background technique

The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.11 standard organization plans to develop a Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) Internet of Things (IOT) standard with the goal of Wi-Fi. Communication technology is applied to the Internet of Things, including wearable electronic devices and digital medical devices. As the main power consumption module of IOT devices and wearable electronic devices, the existing Wi-Fi modules consume too much power, and Wi-Fi modules cannot be directly applied to IOT devices and wearable electronic devices. This is because IOT devices and wearable electronic devices, such as sports bracelets, smart watches, and digital medical sensors, are generally small in size, so the capacity and capacity of batteries that can be carried are limited, while IOT devices and wearables. Electronic equipment requires a relatively high battery life. Therefore, in order to apply Wi-Fi communication technology to IOT devices and wearable electronic devices, it is very necessary to improve and reduce the power consumption of Wi-Fi communication technology.

A Wake-up Radio Or Receiver (WUR) module is introduced in the existing solution, that is, an auxiliary WUR module is added to the IOT device and the wearable electronic device, and the IOT device or the wearable electronic is used for convenience of description. The device is described as an example of a wake-up device (also referred to as a receiving device in the present invention): the auxiliary WUR module of the wake-up device enables duty cycle (Duty-Cycling), that is, the auxiliary WUR module periodically "wakes-sleeps". As shown in FIG. 1A or FIG. 1B, the auxiliary WUR module of the wake-up device enables periodic "wake-sleep" after the work cycle, and the auxiliary WUR module of the wake-up device wakes up periodically, waiting for receiving the wake-up device (in this paper) The wake-up frame or other frame sent by the transmitting device is also called to wake up the wake-up device's wake-up frame or other frame to wake up the wake-up device's main communication module. The wake-up window length of the auxiliary WUR module of the wake-up device is determined by the parameter W, for example, W = 2 ms; the period of the duty cycle of the auxiliary WUR module of the wake-up device is determined by the parameter T, for example, T = 100 ms. The auxiliary WUR module of the wake-up device is in an ultra-low power deep sleep state (power consumption close to zero) outside of the wake-up window. When the wake-up device and the wake-up device remain time synchronized (ie, in the synchronous mode), the wake-up device can accurately know the wake-up window (Wake Window) of the auxiliary WUR module of the wake-up device, as shown in FIG. 1A, the wake-up device can be A wake-up frame (WUP) is sent to the wake-up window of the wake-up device to the wake-up device's auxiliary WUR module to instruct the wake-up device to wake up the wake-up device's main communication module (such as an 802.11 module). Maintaining time synchronization between the two parties introduces additional communication and energy overhead. In order to avoid maintaining time-synchronized communication and energy overhead, the wake-up device and the wake-up device may not maintain time synchronization. When the wake-up device and the wake-up device do not maintain time synchronization (ie, in asynchronous mode), the wake-up device cannot accurately know the wake-up window (Wake Window) of the WUR of the wake-up device, as shown in FIG. 1B, the wake-up device is once In the wake-up attempt, multiple wake-up frames need to be sent continuously. It is expected that at least one wake-up frame will fall in the wake-up window of the auxiliary WUR module of the wake-up device to wake up the main communication module of the wake-up device. The time interval V at which the wake-up device sends two consecutive wake-up frames is less than or equal to the wake-up window length W of the auxiliary WUR module of the wake-up device. The structure of each wake-up frame may be as shown in FIG. 6, and the length of each of the wake-up frames is long, so that the transmission time and/or occupied air time of each of the wake-up frames is long (for example, 1 millisecond). In the asynchronous mode, the number of wake-up frames sent by the wake-up device is too large. Because each of the wake-up frames takes a long time for the air interface, the air interface time occupied by multiple wake-up frames during the wake-up operation is too long. This results in inefficient air ports and interference with other equipment.

Summary of the invention

The embodiment of the invention provides a method for waking up a wireless device, a sending device and a receiving device, which can reduce the occupation time of the message to the air interface during the wake-up operation, thereby improving the air interface efficiency and reducing interference to other devices.

The embodiments provided by the present invention can be applied in an asynchronous mode, that is, if the awake device and the awake device do not maintain time synchronization. Both the wake-up device and the awakened device may be wireless devices.

A first aspect of the embodiments of the present invention provides a method for waking up a wireless device, which may include: waking up the device to acquire at least one first message, and the waking device sends the at least one first message to the auxiliary WUR interface of the at least one awake device, where The sending time of the at least one of the at least one first message is in a wake-up window of the first wireless interface of the device to be woken, the first message includes a wake-up preamble, and the first message is used to indicate that the wake-up device will send the first message. Sending a second message to the auxiliary WUR interface of the at least one awake device. Afterwards, the waking device generates a second message, where the second message includes a wakeup preamble, and the second message further includes identification information or group information of the auxiliary WUR interface of the at least one awake device, and the second message is longer than the first message (eg, The second message has a longer transmission time than the first message and/or takes longer to occupy the air interface. Finally, the wake-up device sends a second message to the auxiliary WUR interface of the at least one wake-up device, the second message being used to wake up the main communication interface of the at least one wake-up device. It can be seen that the wake-up device first sends a first message (which may be referred to as a short wake-up frame, which is shorter than the length of the wake-up frame existing in the prior art, such as shown in FIG. 5) to the auxiliary WUR interface of the wake-up device, and then transmits. The second message (which may be referred to as a long wake-up frame, the specific frame structure may be a frame structure of a wake-up frame existing in the prior art, as shown in FIG. 6) is provided to the auxiliary WUR interface of the device to be woken up, and is awakened by the second message. Wake up the device's main communication interface. Since the first message is shorter than the second message (eg, the first message is shorter than the transmission time of the second message and/or the occupied air interface time is short), the embodiment of the present invention replaces a part of the second message by using the shorter first message. Compared with the message in the existing solution, all of which are the second message (wake-up frame), it is obvious that the technical solution of the present invention can reduce the occupation time of the message to the air interface during the wake-up operation, thereby improving the air interface efficiency and reducing the other Interference caused by equipment.

In some possible implementations, the method further includes: the wake-up device determines the number of the first message to be sent.

In other possible implementation manners, the method may further include: determining, by the wake-up device, a period of the work cycle of the auxiliary WUR interface of the wake-up device (referred to as T) and a length of the wake-up window (denoted as W); or, waking up the device to receive The period T of the duty cycle of the auxiliary WUR interface sent by the auxiliary WUR interface of the wake-up device and the length W of the wake-up window. It can be seen that the wake-up device can obtain the cycle T of the working cycle of the auxiliary WUR interface of the wake-up device and the length W of the wake-up window in two ways, thereby enhancing the diversity and selectivity of the solution.

In other possible implementation manners, the method further includes: the wake-up device calculates a period T of the foregoing working cycle divided by The quotient of the length W of the awake window, that is, T/W, the wake-up device determines the number of the first message and the number of the second message according to the value of the T/W (for example, the number of the second message may be one) The total number of the first message and the second message is greater than or equal to the value of the T/W, so that the wake-up device can receive at least the wake-up in the length W of the awake window within one T time. One of the messages sent by the device. Thereafter, the waking device may send the number of the first message to the awake device, and further, may send the number of the second message to the awake device. It can be seen that the wake-up device sends the number of the first message to the wake-up device to provide a basis for the wake-up device to determine the sleep time of the auxiliary WUR interface.

In other possible implementation manners, the method may further include: the wake-up device acquires a minimum time interval between two adjacent first messages (referred to as T1); and the wake-up device sends the two adjacent first messages to the receiving device. The minimum time interval between. Similarly, the wake-up device acquires a minimum time interval between the adjacent first message and the second message (denoted as T2); the minimum time between the wake-up device sending the adjacent first message and the second message to the awakened device interval. Similarly, the wake-up device acquires a minimum time interval between two adjacent second messages (denoted as T3); and the wake-up device sends a minimum time interval between two adjacent second messages to the device being woken up. Where T1, T2 and T3 are related to the length W of the above-mentioned wake-up window, for example, T1, T2 and T3 may both be W/2. It can be seen that the wake-up device sends T1, T2 and T3 to the wake-up device, so as to provide a basis for the wake-up device to determine the sleep time of the auxiliary WUR interface.

In another possible implementation manner, the method further includes: the wake-up device determines a sending mode of the first message and the second message, and the wake-up device needs to notify the wake-up device of a sending mode of sending the first message and the second message; the device that is woken up It is necessary to obtain a transmission mode in which the wake-up device transmits the first message and the second message. For example, it may be one of the following possible transmission modes: transmission mode 1: the wake-up device may first send K first messages, and then send 1 second message, where K is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1. And K+1≥T/W is required, and the time interval between the first first message and the second message is less than or equal to T, where T is the period of the working cycle of the auxiliary WUR interface of the device being woken up, and W is The length of the wake-up window that wakes up the device's auxiliary WUR interface. The wake-up device needs to send the sending mode of the first message and the second message, and the parameter K to the wake-up device; the wake-up device needs to obtain the sending mode in which the wake-up device sends the first message and the second message, and the parameter K. Transmit mode 2: The wake-up device can send one second message every time the M first messages are sent, repeat the transmission mode, and wake up the last wake-up message sent by the device to the second message. Where M is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1, for example, M=1. Here, the total number of the first message and the second message is required to be greater than or equal to T/W, and the time interval between the first first message and the last second message is less than or equal to T. The waking device needs to send the sending mode of the first message and the second message, and the parameter M to the awake device; the awake device needs to obtain the sending mode of the waking device to send the first message and the second message, and the parameter M. Transmission mode 3: The wake-up device may first send one second message, then send M first messages, and then send one second message, repeat the transmission mode, and wake up the device to send the wake-up message as the second message. . Where M is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1, for example, M=1. Here, the total number of the first message and the second message needs to be greater than or equal to T/W, and the time interval between the first second message and the last second message is less than or equal to T. The waking device needs to send the sending mode of the first message and the second message, and the parameter M to the awake device; the awake device needs to obtain the sending mode of the waking device to send the first message and the second message, and the parameter M. There may be multiple combinations of sending the first message and the second message, that is, the transmission mode may be multiple, and is not limited to the above three transmission modes. And the combination manner has a common point: first sending the first message, and then sending the second message, the first message is used to indicate that the wakeup device is sending the first message. A second message will be sent to the device being woken up. It can be seen that the wake-up device informs the awakened device of the sending mode, which enriches the technical solution of the present application.

In other possible implementation manners, the first message may further include at least one of the following information: a traditional 802.11 preamble, a frame type, identification information of the awake device, identification information of the awake device, and group information of the awake device. , counter information, frame authentication information, and frame check information.

In other possible implementation manners, the second message may further include at least one of the following information: a legacy 802.11 preamble, a frame type, identification information of the awake device, counter information, frame authentication information, and frame check information.

A second aspect of the embodiments of the present invention provides a method for waking up a wireless device, which may include: the awake device receives a message through the auxiliary WUR interface of the awake device, and the message received by the awake device's auxiliary WUR interface includes the awake device. a first message of the at least one first message, wherein the first message includes a wake-up preamble, the first message is used to indicate to the device being woken that the wake-up device sends a second message to the wake-up device after sending the first message WUR interface. Thereafter, the awakened device determines an operating state of the auxiliary WUR interface according to the received first message, such as determining a sleep time, determining a wake-up time, and the like. Then, the awake device receives the second message sent by the awake device through the auxiliary WUR interface of the awake device, the second message may be generated by the awake device, the second message includes the wakeup preamble, and the second message further includes the auxiliary WUR of the awake device. The identification information or the grouping information of the interface, the second message being longer than the first message (eg, the second message is longer than the transmission time of the first message and/or the time occupied by the air interface is longer). Finally, the wake-up device determines whether to wake up the main communication interface of the wake-up device according to the second message. It can be seen that the wake-up device first sends a first message (which may be referred to as a short wake-up frame, which is shorter than the length of the wake-up frame existing in the prior art, such as shown in FIG. 5) to the auxiliary WUR interface of the wake-up device, and then transmits. The second message (which may be referred to as a long wake-up frame, the specific frame structure may be a frame structure of a wake-up frame existing in the prior art, as shown in FIG. 6) is provided to the auxiliary WUR interface of the device to be woken up, and is awakened by the second message. Wake up the device's main communication interface. Since the first message is shorter than the second message (eg, the first message is shorter than the transmission time of the second message and/or the occupied air interface time is short), the embodiment of the present invention replaces a part of the second message by using the shorter first message. Compared with the message in the existing solution, all of which are the second message (wake-up frame), it is obvious that the technical solution of the present invention can reduce the occupation time of the message to the air interface during the wake-up operation, thereby improving the air interface efficiency and reducing the other Interference caused by equipment.

In some possible implementation manners, the determining, by the wake-up device, whether the wake-up device wakes up the main communication interface according to the second message may be: the wake-up device determines whether the identifier information in the received second message is assisted by the wake-up device. The identification information of the WUR interface matches. If the device matches, the wake-up device determines that the working state of the main communication interface of the device to be awake needs to be awake. (If the working state of the main communication interface of the awake device is currently in the sleep state, then the The working state of the main communication interface of the wake-up device is switched to the awake state; if the working state of the main communication interface of the awake device is currently awake, it may remain awake; if not, the device is awake Determining that the working state of the main communication interface of the device to be awakened may be a sleep state, that is, the working state of the main communication interface of the device to be awake does not need to be switched to the awake state (if the working state of the main communication interface of the device being awake is currently awake To the state, you can switch to the sleep state; if the working state of the main communication interface of the device being woken up is currently Hibernation, it can remain dormant). Alternatively, the awake device determines whether the packet information in the received second message matches the packet information of the auxiliary WUR interface of the awake device. If the packet is matched, the awake device determines that the working state of the main communication interface of the awake device needs to be Wake up state; if not, the device being woken up determines the working state of the main communication interface of the device being woken up Is in a dormant state. The packet information may also be a broadcast address or multicast address information. Specifically, the awakened device needs to check whether the identifier information carried in the received second message matches the identifier information of the auxiliary WUR interface of the wake-up device, or the wake-up device needs to detect whether the packet information carried in the received second message is Matching packet information of the awakened device: if the identification information or the packet information does not match, the awakened device ignores the received second message, that is, stops receiving and processing the received second message; if the identification information or the group information matches, The wake-up device can then choose to wake up the main communication interface of the wake-up device. It can be seen that two methods for determining the working state of the main communication interface of the awakened device are provided, thereby perfecting the technical solution of the present application.

In other possible implementations, before the waking device determines whether to wake up the main communication interface of the awake device according to the second message, the awake device may further include: the awake device authenticates the second message, and if the authentication passes, the trigger is The wake-up device determines whether to wake up the action of the master communication interface of the wake-up device according to the second message. Alternatively, the wake-up device checks the second message, and if the check passes, triggers the wake-up device to determine whether to wake up the action of the main communication interface of the wake-up device according to the second message. It can be seen that in order to ensure the correctness and authenticity of the second message, the second message can be authenticated and verified to ensure correct and secure communication.

In other possible implementation manners, the method may further include: determining, by the wake-up device, a period of the work cycle of the auxiliary WUR interface of the wake-up device (referred to as T) and a length of the wake-up window (denoted as W); or, being awakened The device receives the period T of the duty cycle of the auxiliary WUR interface of the wake-up device sent by the wake-up device and the length W of the wake-up window. It can be seen that the wake-up device can obtain the cycle T of the working cycle of the auxiliary WUR interface of the wake-up device and the length W of the wake-up window in two ways, thereby enhancing the diversity and selectivity of the solution.

In other possible implementations, the method may further include: the wake-up device calculates a value of the quotient of the period T of the working cycle divided by the length W of the awake window, that is, T/W, and the wake-up device according to the value of the T/W Determining the number of the first message and the number of the second message, wherein the total number of the first message and the second message is greater than or equal to the value of the quotient. Then, the waking device can send the number of the first message and the number of the second message to the awake device, that is, the awake device receives the number of the first message sent by the waking device and the number of the second message. It can be seen that the wake-up device sends the number of the first message and the number of the second message to the wake-up device, so as to provide a basis for the wake-up device to determine the sleep time of the auxiliary WUR interface.

In other possible implementation manners, the method may further include: acquiring, by the wake-up device, a minimum time interval between two adjacent first messages (referred to as T1), for example, the wake-up device sets two adjacent first ones. a minimum time interval between messages, or a minimum time interval between the two adjacent first messages sent by the wake-up device to receive the wake-up device; and/or, the wake-up device acquires the adjacent first message and the second message The minimum time interval between (as T2), for example, the wake-up device sets the minimum time interval between the adjacent first message and the second message, or the wake-up device receives the adjacent first message sent by the wake-up device And a minimum time interval between the second message; and/or, the wake-up device acquires a minimum time interval between two adjacent second messages (denoted as T3), for example, the wake-up device sets two adjacent ones a minimum time interval between the second messages, or a minimum time interval between the two adjacent second messages sent by the wake-up device to receive the wake-up device; wherein T1, T2, and T3 are related to the length W of the wake-up window , Such as T1, T2 and T3 can be thought W / 2. It can be seen that the wake-up device can determine the sleep time of the auxiliary WUR interface according to T1, T2 and T3 and other parameters.

In another possible implementation manner, the awakened device determines, according to the received first message, that the working state of the auxiliary WUR interface is: the wake-up device keeps the auxiliary WUR interface of the wake-up device after receiving the first message. a state, waiting to receive a message, the message waiting to be received may be the first message or the second message; or, the wake-up device determines, according to the content of the received first message, the sleep time of the auxiliary WUR interface of the wake-up device, the device being woken up According to the sleep time of the auxiliary WUR interface, the auxiliary WUR interface first enters the sleep state, and then wakes up after the sleep time ends to wait to receive the message, and the message waiting to be received may be the first message or the second message. Further, if the number of the first message is K, K is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1, and the number of the second message is 1. If K is equal to 1, the awakened device determines the auxiliary WUR interface according to the first message. The sleep time is a minimum time interval between the adjacent first message and the second message; if K is greater than 1, the wake-up device determines, according to the first message, that the sleep time of the auxiliary WUR interface is: two adjacent first messages. The minimum time interval between, and the smaller of the minimum time interval between the adjacent first message and the second message. The first message is Short Wake-Up Packet (SWUP), and the second message is Long Wake-Up Packet (LWUP). For example, if K=1, the device wakes up and sends one. After the SWUP sends an LWUP, the sleep time of the auxiliary WUR interface can be: G ₁ ; where G ₁ is the minimum time interval between the wakeup device sending an adjacent SWUP and an LWUP. In this case, the wake-up device needs to obtain the minimum time interval G ₁ between the adjacent one of the SWUP and one LWUP sent by the wake-up device. If K is greater than 1, the sleep time of the secondary WUR interface may be: the smaller of G ₁ and G ₂ ; wherein G ₂ is the minimum time interval between the two SWUPs that the wake-up device sends. In this case, the wake-up device needs to obtain the minimum time interval G ₁ between the adjacent one SWUP and one LWUP sent by the wake-up device and the minimum time interval G ₁ between the adjacent two SWUPs sent by the wake-up device. . In addition, if the frame format of the SWUP includes a frame type, the awake device can determine whether the received first message is a SWUP based at least on the frame type. If the frame format of the SWUP includes frame check information, the awake device can determine whether the received SWUP is correct according to at least the frame check information. If the frame format of the SWUP includes basic service set information, the awakened device may detect whether the basic service set information carried in the received SWUP is the same as its own basic service set information; if not, the wake-up device ignores the received SWUP, that is, stop receiving or processing SWUP; if the same, the awake device determines the working state of the first wireless interface of the awake device according to at least the content of the received SWUP. If the frame format of the SWUP includes packet information, the awake device can detect whether the packet information carried in the received SWUP is the same as its own group information; if not, the awake device ignores the received SWUP, that is, stops receiving. The SWUP will be processed; if the same, the awake device determines the working state of the first wireless interface of the receiving device based at least on the content of the received SWUP. It can be seen that two methods for determining the working state of the auxiliary WUR interface are provided, and the technical solution of the present application is improved.

In other possible implementations, if the first message includes a count field, the count field is used to count the first message received by the auxiliary WUR interface in the K first messages, and the wake-up device receives the The first message determines that the working state of the auxiliary WUR interface may also be: if K is greater than 1, the awake device may be based on the count value of the count field in the first message, the number of the first message, and the adjacent two The minimum time interval between messages and the minimum time interval between adjacent first messages and second messages determine the sleep time of the secondary WUR interface. Further, the sleep time of the auxiliary WUR interface of the wake-up device is calculated by the following formula: S=(K-1–Counter)*G ₁ +G ₂ ; where S represents the sleep time of the auxiliary WUR interface, and K represents the first The number of messages, Counter indicates the count value of the count field, G ₁ represents the minimum time interval between two adjacent first messages, and G ₂ represents the minimum time interval between the adjacent first message and the second message. . It can be seen that a method for calculating the sleep time of the auxiliary WUR interface is provided, thereby further improving the technical solution of the present application.

In another possible implementation manner, the method further includes: the wake-up device determines a sending mode of the first message and the second message, and the wake-up device needs to notify the wake-up device of a sending mode of sending the first message and the second message; the device that is woken up It is necessary to obtain a transmission mode in which the wake-up device transmits the first message and the second message. For example, it may be one of the following possible transmission modes: transmission mode 1: the wake-up device may first send K first messages, and then send 1 second message, where K is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1. And K+1≥T/W is required, and the time interval between the first first message and the second message is less than or equal to T, where T is the period of the working cycle of the auxiliary WUR interface of the device being woken up, and W is The length of the wake-up window that wakes up the device's auxiliary WUR interface. The wake-up device needs to send the sending mode of the first message and the second message, and the parameter K to the wake-up device; the wake-up device needs to obtain the sending mode in which the wake-up device sends the first message and the second message, and the parameter K. Transmit mode 2: The wake-up device can send one second message every time the M first messages are sent, repeat the transmission mode, and the last message sent by the wake-up device is the second message. Where M is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1, for example, M=1. Here, the total number of the first message and the second message is required to be greater than or equal to T/W, and the time interval between the first first message and the last second message is less than or equal to T. The waking device needs to send the sending mode of the first message and the second message, and the parameter M to the awake device; the awake device needs to obtain the sending mode of the waking device to send the first message and the second message, and the parameter M. Transmission mode 3: The wake-up device may first send one second message, then send M first messages, and then send one second message, repeat the transmission mode, and the wake-up device finally sends the second message. Where M is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1, for example, M=1. Here, the total number of the first message and the second message needs to be greater than or equal to T/W, and the time interval between the first second message and the last second message is less than or equal to T.

There may be multiple combinations of sending the first message and the second message, that is, the transmission mode may be multiple, and is not limited to the above three transmission modes. And the combination manner has a common point: first sending the first message, and then sending the second message, the first message is used to indicate that the wake-up device sends the second message to the wake-up device after sending the first message.

detailed description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are clearly and completely described in the following with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. It is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, but not all embodiments.

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 terms "comprises" and "comprises" and "the" and "the" are 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 steps or units may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products or devices.

It is mentioned in the background that in order to apply Wi-Fi communication technology to IOT devices and wearable electronic devices, it is very necessary to improve and reduce the power consumption of Wi-Fi communication technology. For example, in Wi-Fi communication technology, IOT devices, such as stations (STAs), STAs idle listening channels waste a lot of power. In order to reduce the waste of power caused by the idle listening channel of the station, the Wi-Fi communication technology introduces a dormancy mechanism, that is, the Wi-Fi module in the STA enters sleep and turns off the receiving transmitter without data transmission, thereby causing the STA to sleep. status. But this will produce communication Delay, data cannot be transmitted in real time. Although it is possible to reduce the communication delay by setting the sleep mode, it increases the power consumption. Therefore, the Wi-Fi communication technology introduces an auxiliary WUR module, which is an ultra-low-power wireless module added to a wireless device (such as a STA), and a main communication module of the wireless device, such as a Wi-Fi module. presence. When there is no message to receive or transmit, the primary communication module of the wireless device enters deep sleep and turns on the auxiliary WUR module for ultra low power listening. As shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a primary communication interface of a first wireless device waking up a second wireless device through an auxiliary WUR module. When the first wireless device (wake-up device) has a message, it needs to be transmitted to the second wireless device (a wake-up device). The first wireless device first sends a wake-up packet (WUP) to the secondary WUR module of the second wireless device. After receiving the wake-up frame, the secondary WUR module of the second wireless device checks the Receiver Address (RA) of the wake-up frame and determines the correctness and authenticity of the wake-up frame. If the RA of the wake-up frame matches the address of the secondary WUR module of the second wireless device, and the wake-up frame is correct and authentic, the secondary WUR module of the second wireless device sends a wake-up signal to the primary communication module of the second wireless device to Wake up the primary communication module of the second wireless device. Since the average power consumption of the auxiliary WUR module of the wake-up device is very low, the power consumption can be reduced. However, if the auxiliary WUR module of the wake-up device is always active, the auxiliary WUR module will also consume considerable power. Therefore, it is necessary to further reduce the power consumption of the auxiliary WUR module of the wake-up device.

In order to further reduce the energy consumption of the auxiliary WUR module of the wake-up device, the existing solutions in the background art are brought forward, and the existing solutions in the background art are not described herein again. In view of the inefficiency of the air interface in the existing solution and the interference to other devices, the inventor initially conceived that the technical solution of the present application may be: introducing a Short Wake-Up Packet (SWUP) during the asynchronous wake-up operation, And use SWUP to replace some Long Wake-Up Packets (LWUP) to improve air interface efficiency and reduce interference to other devices. As shown in FIG. 3, FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of a wake-up operation in an asynchronous mode. The wake-up device can send K SWUPs and 1 LWUP in a wake-up attempt, where K is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1. The time interval between the wake-up devices transmitting adjacent SWUPs is V, and the time interval between adjacent SWUPs and LWUPs is also V. The length of the wake-up window of the auxiliary WUR module of the wake-up device is W, and the period of the work cycle of the auxiliary WUR module of the wake-up device is T. In the example shown in Figure 3, K = 4, that is, the wake-up device sends 4 SWUPs. When K=1, the wake-up device sends an LWUP every time a SWUP is sent. The one-wake attempt refers to waking up the device to wake up the wake-up device once. In the example shown in Figure 3, the wake-up device sends in a wake-up attempt. 4 and SWUP and one LWUP. Specifically, the following steps are included: 1. The wake-up device generates and sends a SWUP to the target wake-up device. Introducing SWUP, replacing a part of LWUP with SWUP, and instructing the wake-up device to send LWUP after SWUP through SWUP. The SWUP includes at least a Wake-up Preamble. The SWUP may further include network information of the wake-up device, such as a Basic Service Set Identifier (BSSID); the SWUP may further include identification information, counter information, and the like of the target wake-up device. 2. The target wake-up device receives the SWUP, and determines the working state of the WUR interface of the target wake-up device based at least on the content of the received SWUP. The determining the working state of the WUR of the target awakened device may include determining a sleep time of the WUR interface. For example, the target wake-up device may keep its WUR interface active after receiving the SWUP (ie, the sleep time is 0), waiting to receive the message, the message may include SWUP and LWUP; or the target wake-up device receives the SWUP The WUR interface can then be put into sleep state first, then wake up after the sleep time is over to wait to receive the message, which can include SWUP and LWUP. Only SWUP is significantly shorter than LWUP (eg The SWUP has a shorter transmission time than the LWUP and/or takes up less time for the air interface, so as to reduce the occupied air interface time, thereby improving the air interface efficiency. 3. The wake-up device generates and sends the LWUP to the target wake-up device. The LWUP includes at least identification information or grouping information of the wake-up preamble and the target WUR. The LWUP may further include network information of the wake-up device, such as a BSSID; the LWUP may further include wake-up device information, frame type information, and frame check information. 4. The target wake-up device receives the LWUP and determines the operational state of the target wake-up device based at least on the received LWUP. For example, the target-awaken device may choose to wake up its primary communication interface to communicate with the wake-up device.

In addition, the technical solutions of the present application may be, but are not limited to, the following scenarios: Wi-Fi-based Internet of Things and wearable Wi-Fi networks. The wearable Wi-Fi network refers to a Wi-Fi network composed of a mobile phone or other mobile terminal as a software-enabled access point (SoftAP) and an associated wearable device. The devices in the Internet of Things and wearable Wi-Fi networks are powered by small capacity batteries, and the devices have low power consumption and long battery life requirements.

The method for waking up a wireless device in the embodiment of the present invention is described below by using a specific embodiment. Referring to FIG. 4, an embodiment of a method for waking up a wireless device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes:

The sending device sends at least one first message to the first wireless interface of the receiving device, where the first message includes a wake-up preamble;

In this embodiment, the sending device acquires the first message, and the sending device sends the obtained first message to the first wireless interface of the receiving device. The sending time of the at least one of the at least one first message is in a wake-up window of the first wireless interface of the receiving device, the first message includes a wake-up preamble, and the first message is used to indicate to the receiving device that the sending device is transmitting the first The message is followed by a second message to the first wireless interface of the receiving device.

The first message may further include at least one of the following information: a traditional 802.11 preamble, a frame type, identification information of the transmitting device, identification information of the receiving device, grouping information of the receiving device, counter information, frame authentication information, and frame check. information.

In addition, the sending device in this embodiment may be a wake-up device, and the receiving device may be a wake-up device, and the number of the devices to be awake may be one or more, which is not limited herein. The receiving device may have two wireless interfaces, namely a first wireless interface and a second wireless interface, wherein the first wireless interface may be an auxiliary wake-up interface (such as a WUR interface), and the second wireless device may be a primary communication interface (such as Wi -Fi interface).

It should be noted that, the sending, by the sending device, the first message may be used in the following manner. Specifically, before the sending, by the sending device, the first message to the first wireless interface of the receiving device, the sending device further includes: sending, by the sending device, the first message; or sending The device receives a first message sent by the target device, where the target device is different from the sending device and the receiving device. It can be seen that the sending device acquires the first message in at least two ways, thereby increasing the diversity and selectivity of the solution.

It should be noted that the first message may be a SWUP, and the second message may be an LWUP, where the SWUP is used to indicate to the receiving device that the sending device sends the LWUP to the receiving device after sending the SWUP. As shown in FIG. 5, it is a schematic diagram of a possible SWUP structure. The SWUP includes at least a wake-up preamble. The SWUP frame format may further include a legacy 802.11 Preamble, a Frame Type, and a basic service set information. (BSS Info), one or more of grouping information (Group ID) and frame check information of the receiving device, wherein the frame check information may be a Frame Check Sequence (FCS) and/or a message true Message Integrity Code (MIC). The grouping information of the receiving device may be a multicast group number or a multicast wake-up group to which the receiving device belongs. The number, multicast group number and/or multicast wake-up group number can be assigned by an Access Point (AP) supporting the 802.11 protocol. For example, multicast wake-up and packet information (such as a multicast wake-up group number) can be used when the transmitting device needs to wake up multiple receiving devices.

102. The receiving device determines, according to the first message, an working state of the first wireless interface of the receiving device.

In this embodiment, the receiving device determines, according to the first message, that the working status of the first wireless interface of the receiving device is: the receiving device determines that the first wireless interface of the receiving device is in a awake state after receiving the first message; or The receiving device determines, according to the first message, a sleep time of the first wireless interface of the receiving device; the first wireless interface of the receiving device remains in a sleep state during the sleep time, and after the sleep time ends, maintaining the first wireless interface of the receiving device is Wake up.

Further, if the number of the first message is K, K is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1, and the number of the second message is 1, the receiving device determines, according to the first message, the sleep of the first wireless interface of the receiving device. The time may be: if K is equal to 1, the receiving device determines, according to the first message, that the sleep time of the first wireless interface is a minimum time interval between the adjacent first message and the second message; if K is greater than 1, the receiving device Determining, according to the first message, a sleep time of the first wireless interface of the receiving device is: a minimum time interval between two adjacent first messages, and a minimum time interval between the adjacent first message and the second message The smaller one.

SWUP first message, the second message LWUP as an example: If, after K = 1, i.e., each transmitting device transmits a SWUP sends a LWUP, then the sleep time of the first wireless interface may be: G _1; Where G ₁ is the minimum time interval between the sending of a neighboring SWUP and an LWUP by the transmitting device. In this case, the receiving device needs to obtain the minimum time interval G ₁ between the adjacent one of the SWUP and one LWUP transmitted by the transmitting device. If K is greater than 1, the sleep time of the first wireless interface may be: the smaller of G ₁ and G ₂ ; wherein G ₂ is the minimum time interval between the sending of the two adjacent SWUPs by the transmitting device. In this case, the receiving device needs to obtain the minimum time interval G ₁ between the adjacent one SWUP and one LWUP transmitted by the transmitting device and the minimum time interval G ₁ between the adjacent two SWUPs sent by the transmitting device.

In addition, if the frame format of the SWUP includes a frame type, the receiving device may determine, according to at least the frame type, whether the received first message is a SWUP.

If the frame format of the SWUP includes frame check information, the receiving device may determine whether the received SWUP is correct according to at least the frame check information.

If the basic service set information is included in the frame format of the SWUP, the receiving device may detect whether the basic service set information carried in the received SWUP is the same as its own basic service set information; if not, the receiving device ignores the received SWUP. That is, the receiving and processing of the SWUP is stopped; if the same, the receiving device determines the working state of the first wireless interface of the receiving device based at least on the content of the received SWUP.

If the frame format of the SWUP includes packet information, the receiving device may detect whether the packet information carried in the received SWUP is the same as its own group information; if not, the receiving device ignores the received SWUP, that is, stops receiving and processing. SWUP; if the same, the receiving device determines the working state of the first wireless interface of the receiving device according to at least the content of the received SWUP. The packet information may be broadcast address information or multicast address information.

103. The sending device generates a second message.

In this embodiment, the second message includes a wake-up preamble, and the second message further includes a label of the first wireless interface of the receiving device. Knowing information or grouping information, the second message is longer than the first message, for example, the second message is longer than the first message and/or takes up a long time.

The second message may further include at least one of the following information: a legacy 802.11 preamble, a frame type, identification information of the transmitting device, counter information, frame authentication information, and frame check information.

If the first message is SWUP, the second message may be an LWUP, and the LWUP is used to wake up the primary communication interface of the receiving device. As shown in FIG. 6, it is a schematic diagram of a possible LWUP structure, where the LWUP includes at least a wake-up preamble and a receive address (Receive Address, RA). Among them, the wake-up preamble is used to implement symbol synchronization and automatic gain control (AGC) settings. The receiving address is used to identify the target recipient of the LWUP, the receiving address may include network identification information and the wake-up radio identification information of the receiving device; or the receiving address may be a combination of the network identifier and the wake-up radio identifier of the receiving device; or the receiving address may be receiving The wake-up radio identification of the device. The wake-up radio identity of the receiving device can be selected and assigned by the AP. The network identifier can be used to identify the basic service set information to which the LWUP belongs and the information of the associated AP. The network identity may be part of the wake-up radio identity of the receiving device. In addition, the LWUP may further include a legacy 802.11 preamble, and/or frame type information, and/or a Receive Address (RA) and/or a Transmit Address (TA), and/or control information (Control). Info), and/or Counter information, and/or Message Integrity Code (MIC), and/or FCS. The traditional 802.11 preamble portion can be used for backward compatibility, so that the traditional Wi-Fi device can determine that the current frame is a Wi-Fi frame, thereby selecting a corresponding channel listening decision threshold and backoff time. The frame type can be used to indicate the type of wake-up frame. The sender address can be sender related information. Control information can be used to indicate information such as control commands and link parameters. The counter information can be used to help the receiving end to implement the correctness check and authenticity authentication of the received wake-up frame. The authentication information can be used to help the receiving end to verify the authenticity of the received LWUP. The frame check sequence can be used to help the receiving end verify the correctness of the received LWUP. It can be seen that LWUP is significantly longer than SWUP (for example, LWUP has longer transmission time than SWUP and/or takes up longer air interface time). For example, the length of LWUP can be three times the length of SWUP, that is, the transmission duration of LWUP is the transmission of SWUP. 3 times the duration and/or the occupied air interface duration of the LWUP is 3 times the length of the occupied air interface of the SWUP.

104. The sending device sends a second message to the first wireless interface of the receiving device.

In this embodiment, the receiving device receives the second message sent by the sending device by using the first wireless interface. Additionally, the first wireless interface can be an auxiliary wake-up interface of the receiving device.

105. The receiving device determines, according to the second message, an working state of the second wireless interface of the receiving device.

In this embodiment, the receiving device determines, according to the second message, that the working status of the second wireless interface of the receiving device is: the receiving device determines whether the identifier information in the received second message is different from the identifier information of the first wireless interface of the receiving device. Matching, if matched, the receiving device determines that the working state of the second wireless interface of the receiving device is a wake-up state; if not, the receiving device determines that the working state of the second wireless interface of the receiving device is a sleep state. or,

The receiving device determines whether the packet information in the received second message matches the packet information of the first wireless interface of the receiving device, and if yes, the receiving device determines that the working state of the second wireless interface of the receiving device is the awake state; If there is no match, the receiving device determines that the working state of the second wireless interface of the receiving device is a sleep state. The packet information may also be a broadcast address or a multicast address.

Optionally, before the receiving device determines, according to the second message, the working status of the second wireless interface of the receiving device, To include:

The receiving device authenticates the second message, and if the authentication passes, performs the step of determining, by the receiving device, the working state of the second wireless interface of the receiving device according to the second message.

Optionally, before the receiving device determines, according to the second message, the working status of the second wireless interface of the receiving device, the receiving device may further include:

The receiving device checks the second message, and if the check passes, performs the step of determining, by the receiving device, the working state of the second wireless interface of the receiving device according to the second message.

For example, the awakened device needs to check whether the identifier information carried in the received LWUP matches the identifier information of the auxiliary wake-up interface of the wake-up device, or the wake-up device needs to detect whether the packet information carried in the received LWUP matches the wake-up device. Grouping information: If the identification information or the grouping information does not match, the awakened device ignores the received LWUP, that is, stops receiving and processing the received LWUP; if the identification information or the grouping information matches, the awakened device may need to further receive The LWUP to the frame performs frame correctness check and/or frame authenticity authentication.

If the identification information and the group information match, and the correctness and/or authenticity check of the LWUP received by the awake device passes, the awake device determines the working state of the main communication interface of the awake device according to at least the content of the LWUP, that is, determines Wake up the main communication interface of the wake-up device.

In this embodiment, the sending device sends the first message to the first wireless interface of the receiving device, and then sends the second message to the first wireless interface of the receiving device, and wakes up the second wireless interface of the receiving device by using the second message. Since the first message is shorter than the second message (eg, the first message is shorter than the second message and/or the occupied time is short), the technical solution of the present invention replaces a part of the second message by the first message, compared to The information in the existing solution is all the second message. Obviously, the technical solution of the present invention can reduce the occupation time of the message to the air interface during the wake-up operation, thereby improving the air interface efficiency and reducing the interference to other devices.

On the basis of the foregoing embodiments, in some possible embodiments, the method further includes:

The sending device acquires a cycle of the work cycle of the first wireless interface of the receiving device and a length of the wake-up window.

In this embodiment, the sending device can obtain the period of the working cycle of the first wireless interface of the receiving device and the length of the wake-up window.

Taking the sending device as the wake-up device and the receiving device as the wake-up device as an example: the wake-up device can obtain the cycle of the work cycle of the auxiliary wake-up interface of the wake-up device (referred to as T) and the length of the wake-up window in the following manner (remember For W), for example:

Mode 1: The wake-up device determines the period T of the duty cycle of the wake-up interface of the wake-up device and the length W of the wake-up window. It should be noted that the wake-up device may send the period T of the working cycle of the auxiliary wake-up interface and the length W of the wake-up window to the wake-up device.

Mode 2: The wake-up device determines the period T of the duty cycle of the auxiliary wake-up interface and the length W of the wake-up window, and transmits the period T of the work cycle of the auxiliary wake-up interface and the length W of the wake-up window to the wake-up device.

Correspondingly, the method further includes:

The receiving device acquires a period of a work cycle of the first wireless interface of the receiving device and a length of the awake window.

It can be understood that the receiving device can preset the period of the working cycle of the first wireless interface of the receiving device and the length of the wake-up window, or the receiving device can receive the work of the first wireless interface of the receiving device sent by the transmitting device. The period of the loop and the length of the wakeup window.

Further, the sending device may further determine the number of the first message and the number of the second message according to the period of the working cycle of the first wireless interface of the receiving device and the length of the awake window. Thus, the method further includes:

The sending device determines the number of first messages to be sent;

The sending device sends the number of the first message to the receiving device; wherein the total number of the first message and the second message is greater than or equal to the period of the working cycle divided by the quotient of the length of the awake window, ie T/W.

For example, if the period of the duty cycle divided by the length of the awake window is 5, that is, T/W=5, when the number of the first message is set to 4, the number of the second message can be set to 1. When the number of the first message is set to 5, the number of the second message may be set to 1, which is not limited herein.

It can be seen that the sending device sends the number of the first message to the receiving device, so as to provide a basis for the receiving device to determine the sleep time of the first wireless interface.

Correspondingly, the method further includes:

The receiving device receives the number of the first message sent by the sending device, and the total number of the first message and the second message is greater than or equal to the period of the working cycle divided by the quotient of the length of the awake window.

Further, the method further includes:

The sending device acquires a minimum time interval between two adjacent first messages;

The sending device sends a minimum time interval between two adjacent first messages to the receiving device.

as well as,

The sending device sends a minimum time interval between two adjacent second messages to the receiving device.

In this embodiment, the wake-up device may determine the minimum time interval (indicated as T1) between the two adjacent SWUPs according to at least the period T of the duty cycle of the auxiliary wake-up interface of the wake-up device and the length W of the wake-up window. The minimum time interval between the adjacent SWUP and LWUP (denoted as T2) and the minimum time interval between adjacent two LWUPs (denoted as T3). In practical applications, T1, T2, and T3 can all be W/2.

Correspondingly, the method further includes:

Receiving, by the receiving device, a minimum time interval between the adjacent first message and the second message; and/or,

The receiving device acquires a minimum time interval between two adjacent second messages.

It should be noted that the time interval (denoted as V) between the actual two adjacent wake-up frames (SWUP and LWUP) needs to be less than or equal to the length W of the wake-up window of the auxiliary wake-up interface, that is, V≤W. Since the wake-up device needs to contend for the channel to send the wake-up frame, the time interval V between the actual adjacent two wake-up frames is a random amount, and the randomness of V is caused by the wake-up device competing channel.

The wake-up device can continuously transmit K SWUPs and 1 LWUP, where K is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1. K can be determined by the wake-up device, for example, K=1, that is, the wake-up device will send a long after each SWUP is sent. Wake up the frame.

The total number of SWUP and LWUPs sent by the wake-up device can be determined by the wake-up device based at least on the above parameters T and W. For example, the total number of SWUPs and LWUPs sent is L=2*T/W. For example, K=L-1 can be further selected, that is, the wake-up device transmits (L-1) SWUPs and 1 LWUP.

Further, the method further includes:

The sending device determines a sending mode of the first message and the second message, where the sending mode includes periodic sending;

The transmitting device transmits the transmission mode to the receiving device.

In this embodiment, the waking device needs to notify the awake device of the sending mode of sending the SWUP and the LWUP; the awake device needs to obtain the sending mode of the waking device sending the SWUP and the LWUP.

Correspondingly, the method further includes:

The receiving device receives a sending mode of the first message and the second message sent by the sending device, and the sending mode includes periodically sending.

Here are a few possible delivery modes:

Transmit mode 1: Wake-up device can send K SWUP first, then send 1 LWUP, where K is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1, and requires K+1≥T/W, the time between the first SWUP and LWUP The interval is less than or equal to T. The wake-up device needs to send the transmission mode of SWUP and LWUP, and the parameter K to the wake-up device; the wake-up device needs to obtain the transmission mode of the wake-up device to send SWUP and LWUP, and the parameter K.

Transmit mode 2: The wake-up device can send one LWUP every time it sends M SWUPs, repeat this transmission mode, and the wake-up message sent by the wake-up device is LWUP.
