Definitions
- the present invention relates to wireless networking, and more particularly relates to methods and techniques for power conservation within a wireless environment.
- an access point provides a link between the wired network and the wireless network.
- wireless environments such as that specified by the IEEE 802.11 specification, it is assumed that the access point is "always on", or always able to respond to appropriate signals from transceivers seeking to link to the network through that access point.
- Soft AP software-based access points
- a simple Soft AP implementation can comprise a hardware WiFi adapter together with appropriate driver software running on the host to execute the access point functions.
- More robust Soft AP implementations such as that described in the Related Application referenced above, can provide additional functionality.
- the present invention provides a method for allowing a Soft AP to enter a "waiting" mode where power consumption is reduced.
- a "power down time” period is set in the Soft AP. If no WiFi activity occurs for that period, the Soft AP will go into a power-saving mode (i.e., a waiting mode) thereby allowing the host PC to also go into a power-saving state.
- no WiFi activity means that there has been no connection with any wireless station, including, for example, no power saving services and no detection of scanning by a wireless station.
- the present invention includes mechanisms to cause the WiFi hardware adapter to continue to "listen" for appropriate radio signals.
- the invention causes the WiFi hardware adapter to generate a standard "power management enable" signal to wake up the host PC, and likewise to wake up the Soft AP functions, which powers up the WiFi hardware for normal function.
- Figure 1 illustrates a typical Soft AP configuration wherein a PC having the Soft AP integrated therein provides an access point to PC1 and PC2.
- Figure 2 illustrates a power down process in accordance with the present invention.
- Figure 3 illustrates a wakeup process in accordance with the present invention.
- Figure 1 illustrates a Soft AP device serving as an access point between wired and wireless devices according to an embodiment of the present invention.
- the Soft AP host PC 3 acts as a wireless access point for wireless PC stations (120, 130), bridging them to wired PC stations (140, 150).
- Such a MAC layer bridge (102) of the present invention merges the wireless LAN with the wired LAN by bridging the wired Ethernet interface (101 ) and the Soft AP network interface (103). This bridge forms a single logical LAN of all PC stations, including the Soft AP host PC 3 (100).
- the bridge (202) between the wireless and the wired networks of PC stations are transparent to Layer 3 protocols such that a wireless PC station on one side of the Soft AP host PC 3 (100) can directly talk to a wired PC station on the other side of the Soft AP host PC 3 (100) without going through a layer 3 proxy or gateway.
- An example of this embodiment of the present invention includes a Windows XP built-in MAC Bridge Miniport Driver that can be used to bridge the Ethernet network interface (101 ) and the Soft AP network interface (103). It will, of course, be appreciated that the Soft AP host need not be a personal computer, but could instead be any device capable of performing the functions of a Soft AP as described herein.
- the Soft AP host could be a pocket PC, tablet, PDA, cell phone, or other suitable device.
- a PC or host device hereinafter is intended to mean reference to any suitably configured device including those specifically described herein.
- FIG. 2 an exemplary arrangement of a power down process in accordance with the present invention may be better understood.
- the process begins at 200, and at 210 checks to determine whether any WiFi activity has been detected for a preset period of time. If activity has been detected, the process terminates and the PC continues in normal mode. Alternatively, the process restarts at 200, and repeat itself indefinitely.
- the Soft AP enters a waiting mode as shown at step 220.
- the absence of wireless activity means, for example, that there is no current connection to a wireless device, nor has there been such a connection for the predetermined period.
- the predetermined period may be ten minutes, or some greater or lesser period as selected by the user for his convenience.
- the absence of wireless activity typically includes the absence of power saving services and a lack of detection of scanning by any mobile station.
- the wireless hardware in the host system is notified to go to a low power waiting mode, as shown at step 230.
- the host may also enter a suspend or deep sleep mode, in accordance with the power conservation configuration of the host, as shown at step 240.
- an exemplary implementation remains fully compliant with the power management protocol of the host system 103. If the power management configuration of the host system is ready to suspend or otherwise power down, the Soft AP implementation is configured to allow the host system to suspend.
- the operation of the host system in the waiting mode and during wakeup can be better appreciated.
- the process starts with the host in waiting mode, as shown at 300.
- waiting mode the wireless adapter continues to listen for a radio signal from a station seeking to communicate with the host, by checking periodically to see if such a signal has been received as shown at step 310. If no such signal is received, the Soft AP remains in waiting mode.
- the wireless adapter in the host system causes a standard "power management enable" interrupt signal to be generated as shown at step 320, to wake up the host system.
- a PME signal may be used on the PCI bus, or a "wake up" signal may be used by USB.
- the host system When the host system is awakened, it also causes the Soft AP to be awakened, as shown at step 330, and in turn the WiFi or other wireless hardware is returned to a fully powered state as shown at step 340 and all normal functions are restarted.
- the wireless chipset which again may be a WiFi chipset, may be configured to maintain power only to the radio receiver portion of the chipset. In this manner, the wireless chipset is configured as a low power "simple" receiver to detect a message having a meaningful preamble. If such a message is received, the wake up signal is generated as discussed above. This approach conserves the most power, and is therefore attractive for at least some laptop-based implementations.
- the wireless adapter may have its own power supply, for example an external supply for a USB device
- the wireless chipset may be configured to continue to send out a beacon to alert mobile stations of the presence of the access point.
- the device may be configured to provide power only to the receiver as described above. In addition, combinations of these arrangements may be selected.
- an externally powered AP device may be powered to send out beacons and at the same time detect signals from wireless stations in range for a predetermined period of time during which the host computing device are in suspend mode. If by the end of said period, there has been no wireless signal detected from a wireless station, the AP device may then go into a "simple receiver mode" in which only meaningful preambles are detected without sending out wireless beacons, whereby conserving more power.
