Problems solved by technology

However, since the AP (Access Point, access point) is often powered by electric power or POE (Power OverEthernet, Power over Ethernet) power supply instead of battery power supply, the energy saving of the AP has not received due attention. In fact, the power consumption of the AP Much higher than the power of the wireless network card
[0003] However, the prior art does not provide a method that can be used for AP energy saving

Embodiment Construction

[0037] The working scenarios of the AP include station association and no station association. When an AP is associated with a station, the AP needs to complete a series of tasks such as packet forwarding, packet buffering, and clock synchronization. When there is no Station association on the AP, the AP needs to periodically send Beacon (guidance) messages to the outside world to announce the existence of the wireless network and facilitate user access. The interval for sending Beacon packets is called Beacon Interval for short, and its value can be configured by users within a certain range. For example, the minimum Beacon interval of an AP is 32ms and the maximum is 8191ms. The Beacon interval should not be too small. If it is too small, it will increase the burden on the system and occupy a large amount of additional channel resources. It should not be too large. If it is too large, it will affect the AP's data packet caching operation for the associated dormant Station. G...

Abstract

The invention discloses a wireless access point (AP) and an AP energy saving method. The method comprises the following steps that: when the AP detects that the AP is not associated with a Station and the duration of not receiving a detection message or an associative message reaches a time threshold value, the AP increases a Beacon interval and transmits a Beacon message according to the increased Beacon interval; and when the AP receives the detection message or the associative message transmitted by a Station, the AP adjusts the Beacon interval to a set value and transmits the Beacon message according to the set value. The invention reduces the power consumption of the AP and realizes the energy saving of the AP.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the communication field, in particular to a wireless access point AP and an AP energy saving method. Background technique [0002] WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network, wireless local area network) refers to the application of wireless communication technology to interconnect computer equipment. Customers can access the Internet and corporate networks anytime and anywhere through terminals such as notebook computers to obtain information, entertainment or work. WLAN has gained More and more widely used and developed. However, the power consumption of a wireless network card is 12 times that of a traditional Ethernet card. Therefore, in order to reduce the power consumption of the wireless station (workstation) and improve the battery life of mobile wireless devices such as notebooks, a series of energy-saving measures are stipulated for the wireless mobile station protocol. However, since the AP (Access Point, access point) is o...
