Technical field

The present invention relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a method for transmitting a wake-up frame.

Background technique

The IEEE 802.11 standard organization plans to develop a Wireless-Fidelity (Wi-Fi)-based Internet of Things (IoT) standard, with the goal of promoting Wi-Fi technology to the Internet of Things, including wearable electronic devices. And digital medical equipment. As the main power consumption module of IoT devices such as wearable electronic devices, the existing Wi-Fi modules consume too much power and cannot be directly applied to IoT devices such as wearable electronic devices. This is because IoT devices such as wearables, such as sports bracelets, smart watches, digital medical devices, etc., are generally small in size, and the capacity and capacity of portable batteries are limited, while the wearable electronic devices have battery life. However, it has relatively high requirements. In order to apply Wi-Fi technology to the Internet of Things, such as wearable electronic devices, it is necessary to improve and reduce the power consumption of Wi-Fi communication technology.

In the Wi-Fi communication technology, a station (STA, i.e.) idle listening channel supporting the 802.11 protocol is employed. However, the STA idle listening channel wastes a lot of power. In order to reduce the energy waste caused by the STA idle listening channel, Wi-Fi technology introduces a dormancy mechanism, that is, the Wi-Fi module (ie, Wi-Fi interface) goes to sleep and closes the transmitter without data transmission. . The traditional Wi-Fi sleep mechanism can reduce the power consumption of Wi-Fi. However, if an STA is in a dormant state, the Access Point (AP) cannot send data to the STA. The AP needs to wait until the STA wakes up, which increases the communication delay and does not implement On-Demand. Real-time data transmission.

One existing solution is to introduce an ultra-low power Wake-up Radio/Receiver (WUR) technology that is expected to reduce the average power consumption of Wi-Fi communication technology by waking up the radio/receiver. At the same time, on-demand real-time data transmission can be realized. Auxiliary Wake-up Radio/Receiver (WUR) is an ultra-low-power wireless interface added to wireless devices that coexists with the wireless device's primary communication module (eg, Wi-Fi module). When there is no message to receive or transmit, the primary communication module of the second wireless device (eg, Wi-Fi module) enters deep sleep and turns on the WUR module for ultra low power listening. When the first wireless device (wake-up device, eg, AP) has a message to transmit to the second wireless device (wake-up device, eg, STA), the first wireless device first sends a wake-up frame to the WUR interface of the second wireless device ( Wake-up Packet (WUP) to wake up the primary communication module (eg, 802.11 module) of the second wireless device.

A wake-up frame in the prior art does not carry a frame check sequence (FCS) or a short frame check sequence. The frame check sequence of such a wake-up frame is too short, and the error check capability of the frame check sequence is limited, which is likely to cause false wake-up.

There is also a wake-up frame carrying a fixed length frame check sequence (FCS), and the check object of the frame check sequence includes a network identifier (Network ID), a receive address (Receive Address), and control information in the wake-up frame. (Control Info), that is, the frame check sequence in the wake-up frame is calculated according to the network ID (Network ID), the receive address (Receive Address), and the control information (Control Info). The frame check sequence of the wake-up frame has too many check objects, and the content to be verified is relatively long, which requires a relatively long frame check sequence. If the frame check sequence of the wake-up frame is too long, the frame check sequence is prone to error, which is likely to cause re-transmission of the wake-up frame, that is, the probability that the wake-up frame needs to be retransmitted is relatively large.

In one example, the frame check sequence of the wake-up frame has a length of 0 or 1; when the length of the frame check sequence of the wake-up frame is 0, it indicates that the wake-up frame does not carry a frame check sequence; When the length of the frame check sequence of the wake-up frame is 1, it indicates that the wake-up frame carries a parity bit of one bit.

The embodiment of the present invention can determine the length of the frame check sequence of the wake-up frame according to the condition of the communication environment, thereby achieving an effective balance between the error detection capability of the frame check sequence and the communication overhead of the frame check sequence.

In one example, the parity bit is used to verify the correctness of the received address or to verify the correctness of the wake-up frame.

In one example, the second wireless interface is an auxiliary wake-up interface, the receive address is an address of an auxiliary wake-up interface of the second wireless device; the receive address is assigned by the first wireless device to the first An auxiliary wake-up interface of the second wireless device; and a distance between the second wireless device and an address of the auxiliary wake-up interface of another wireless device in the same basic service set of the second wireless device is greater than a first distance; The first distance is determined by the first wireless device according to the number of second wireless devices associated with the first wireless device and/or the length of an address of the secondary wake-up interface of the second wireless device.

The length of the sequence FCS; and in the case where the false wake-up rate of the wake-up frame in the second communication environment is higher than the false wake-up rate of the wake-up frame in the first communication environment, the frame included in the second wake-up frame The length of the check sequence is greater than the length of the frame check sequence included in the first wake-up frame.

detailed description

The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In the Wi-Fi communication technology, in order to reduce power consumption, a sleep mechanism is introduced, but the conventional sleep mechanism brings about a problem of communication delay. In order to reduce the communication delay caused by the traditional Wi-Fi sleep mechanism, the STA usually wakes up periodically to check whether the AP has data to transmit to the STA. However, this solution will reduce the sleep time ratio of the STA and increase the energy consumption of the STA. In order to solve the above problems, the IEEE 802.11 standards organization recently established a Task Group (TG) to study ultra-low power Wake-up Radio/Receiver (WUR) technology and develop WUR-based standards. It is expected that the average power consumption of Wi-Fi communication technology can be reduced by WUR technology.

As shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a system for an AP to wake up a STA.

In FIG. 1, the STA is a wake-up device, and the AP is a wake-up device, that is, the wake-up device AP wakes up the wake-up device STA.

The STA can be a client in a Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN). For example, a wireless sensor network node, or a smartphone with a Wi-Fi module, and the like.

An AP is an access point device of a wireless local area network, for example, a wireless access point in a Wi-Fi network. The AP is used to connect multiple STAs together to form a small wireless local area network.

In FIG. 1, the STA 110 includes a first primary communication module 111 and a first secondary wakeup module 112. The AP 120 includes a second primary communication module 121 and a second secondary wakeup module 122. The auxiliary wake-up module can be a WUR module.

In one example, the first primary communication module 111 is an 802.11 module, such as a Wi-Fi module. The first auxiliary wake-up module 112 is a WUR interface with ultra low power consumption.

In one example, the second primary communication module 121 is an 802.11 module, such as a Wi-Fi module. The second auxiliary wake-up module 122 is a WUR interface with ultra low power consumption.

In STA 110, when there is no message to transmit, the first primary communication module 111 (eg, Wi-Fi module) enters deep sleep, enters a state in which power consumption is close to zero, and STA 110 (eg, a processor in STA 110, Figure 1 is not shown) turning on the first auxiliary wake-up module 112 for ultra low power listening.

When the wake-up device AP 120 has a message to transmit to the wake-up device STA 110, the second primary communication module 121 of the AP 120 transmits a wake-up packet (WUP) to the first auxiliary wake-up module 112 of the STA 110.

After receiving the wake-up frame, the first auxiliary wake-up module 112 of the STA 110 checks the receiving address of the wake-up frame and confirms the correctness and authenticity of the wake-up frame. If the receiving address carried by the wake-up frame matches the address of the first auxiliary wake-up module 112 of the STA 110, and the wake-up frame is correct and true, the first auxiliary wake-up module 112 of the STA 110, to the first master of the STA 110 The communication module 111 transmits a wake-up signal to wake up the first main communication module 111. After the first auxiliary wake-up module 112 sends the wake-up signal, the first auxiliary wake-up module 112 enters a deep sleep state, that is, enters a state in which the power consumption is close to zero.

The above method uses a particularly simple circuit and signal processing method, so the average power consumption of the first auxiliary wake-up module 112 in the STA 110 is very low. For example, when a duty cycle (Duty-Cycling) is employed, that is, the auxiliary wake-up module periodically wakes up and sleeps, the average power consumption of the first auxiliary wake-up module 112 in the STA 110 is about 100 μW (microwatts), probably only The first main communication module 111 is 0.1% of the average power consumption of the Wi-Fi module. The method for transmitting the wake-up frame to the first main communication module 111 by using the first auxiliary wake-up module 112 is significantly lower than that of the first main communication module 111 such as the Wi-Fi module. Average power consumption. The reception and decoding of the wake-up frame WUP is much simpler than the standard Wi-Fi listening channel.

In addition, the wake-up frame WUP can adopt a modulation method that is easy to be demodulated by the receiving end, for example, On-Off Keying (OOK) modulation. Taking OOK modulation as an example, the STA 110 judges the information carried by the received signal by the presence or absence of energy, for example, the energy is "1" and the no energy is "0". For standard Wi-Fi frames, Binary Convolutional Coding (BCC)/Low-Density Parity Check Codes (LDPC) and Inverse Fast Fourier Transform (Inverse Fast) are required at the AP. Fourier Transformation (IFFT) and other operations require complex signal processing operations such as Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT) and BCC/LDPC decoding on the STA side, which consume a lot of power.

Currently, in order to reduce the power consumption of the first auxiliary wake-up module 112 in the STA 110 and reduce the probability of the wake-up frame WUP error, the wake-up frame WUP should be as short as possible, and the content should be kept as little as possible. In order to reduce the false wake-up rate of the wake-up frame WUP and reduce the retransmission rate of the wake-up frame WUP, the embodiment of the present invention proposes a possible frame structure, see FIG.

FIG. 2 is a possible WUP Frame Format according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 2, the wake-up frame WUP includes a legacy 802.11 Preamble, a Wake-up Preamble, a Control Info, a Network ID, a Receive Address, and a parity check. Parity bit, Frame Check Sequence (FCS).

It should be noted that there may be no parity bits in the wake-up frame. Or the parity bit in the wake-up frame may also be one of the received addresses. If the length of the frame check sequence is not 0, and the check object of the frame check sequence includes one or two of control information and network identifier, the parity bit may also be used to verify Describe the correctness of the receiving address.

A legacy 802.11 preamble (Legacy 802.11 Preamble) can be used for backward compatibility, so that the legacy Wi-Fi device AP 120 can judge the current frame as a Wi-Fi frame, thereby selecting a corresponding channel listening decision threshold and backoff time. Because the first auxiliary wake-up module 112 in the STA 110 does not need to receive the preamble portion of the legacy 802.11, the wake-up frame may not be preceded by the legacy 802.11 for transmission efficiency considerations.

Wake-up Preamble is used for symbol synchronization and Automatic Gain Control (AGC) settings.

Control Info can be used to indicate the frame type and other information of the wake-up frame WUP. For example, the control information (Control Info) is 6 bits; 1 bit indicates that the transmission direction of the frame is uplink or downlink; 1 bit indicates the frame type, such as "1" indicates that the frame type is a wake-up frame, "0" Indicates that the frame is not a wake-up frame; 4 bits show the working channel used after wake-up.

The Network ID can be used to identify the Basic Service Set (BSS) and/or AP information to which the Wakeup Frame WUP belongs. For example, the AP information is an AP Media Access Control (MAC) address, or a BSS color, or a compressed MAC address, or a BSSID, or a compressed BSSID.

In a basic service set BSS, the network identifiers of all WUR WUR IDs are the same. The network identification portion can be a BSS color. For example, the first 6 bits (the highest 6 bits) of the WUR ID of all WURs in a basic service set BSS are the same, both BSS color.

The Receive Address is used to indicate the target recipient of the wake-up frame WUP, and the receive address may be a WUR address (WUR ID), that is, the address of the first auxiliary wake-up module 112.

It should be noted that FIG. 2 is a wake-up frame WUP including a legacy 802.11 Preamble, a Wake-up Preamble, a Control Info, a Network ID, and a Receive Address. ), wake-up frame check sequence FCS as an example. In this case, the Receive Address can be a WUR ID. The receiving address may include the parity bit, or the receiving address may not include the parity bit.

In fact, the wake-up frame WUP may also include a legacy 802.11 Preamble, a Wake-up Preamble, a Control Info, a Receive Address, and a Wakeup Frame Check Sequence FCS; The Network ID is included in the Receive Address. In this case, the Receive Address may include a Network ID and a WUR ID. See Figure 3.

In FIG. 2, the parity bit (Parity bit) can be used to verify the correctness of the Receive Address or to verify the correctness of the wake-up frame WUP.

In one example, the parity bit is part of the Receive Address. For example, the Receive Address is the WUR ID, and the last bit (the lowest bit) of the WUR ID is the parity bit.

For example, a parity check is: if there is an even number of "1"s in the upper (N-1) bits of a WUR ID, and a bit of the lowest bit of the WUR ID is also "1", the parity of the WUR ID The parity bit belongs to the even parity; if there is an odd number of "1"s in the upper (N-1) bits of a WUR ID, and the lowest bit of the WUR ID is also "1", the parity of the WUR ID Bits are odd parity.

For another example, an even parity is that if there is an even number of "1"s in the upper (N-1) bits of a WUR ID, then one bit of the lowest bit of the WUR ID is "1"; if a WUR ID If there are an odd number of "1"s in the upper (N-1) bits, then one bit of the lowest bit of the WUR ID is "0".

The frame check sequence FCS can be used to help the receiver verify the correctness of the content of the received wake-up frame WUP, that is, check whether the content of the received wake-up frame WUP has an error during transmission.

The checksum object of the frame check sequence FCS of the wakeup frame WUP may include one or both of control information (Control Info) and network identifier (Network ID). That is, the frame check sequence FCS in the wake-up frame is calculated according to control information (Control Info) and/or network ID (Network ID).

The main function of the frame check sequence FCS of the wake-up frame WUP is to prevent false wake-up. The false wake-up means that the first auxiliary wake-up module 112 of the STA 110 receives a wake-up frame WUP. Although the wake-up frame WUP is not sent to the STA 110, the receiving address of the wake-up frame is incorrect due to an error occurring during transmission. It becomes the address of the first auxiliary wake-up module 112 of the STA 110, causing a false wake-up.

At present, the length of the FCS carrying the frame check sequence in the wakeup frame WUP is fixed. However, if the frame check sequence FCS of the wakeup frame WUP is too short, the error check capability of the frame check sequence FCS is limited, and it is likely that the frame check sequence FCS cannot be detected. Errors that occur during transmission are prone to false wake-ups. If the frame check sequence FCS of the wakeup frame WUP is too long, the frame check sequence FCS of the wakeup frame has too many check objects. For example, the verification object includes the control information (Control Info), the network identifier (Network ID), the receive address (Receive Address), and the like in the aforementioned wake-up frame, which may cause excessive communication overhead. In addition, an excessively long frame check sequence is also prone to errors during transmission, which causes a wake-up frame check failure and requires retransmission of the wake-up frame. In response to the above problem, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for waking up a wireless device. The method calculates the false wake-up rate and the retransmission rate of the wake-up frame over a period of time, and the self-adaptation The length of the frame check sequence FCS should be adjusted to reduce false wake-up and retransmission of the wake-up frame.

The method for the AP to wake up the STA provided by the embodiment of the present invention is mainly applied to a Wi-Fi network. For example, it is applied to Wi-Fi-based Internet of Things (IoT) and wearable Wi-Fi networks. A wearable Wi-Fi network refers to a Wi-Fi network composed of a mobile phone as a virtual access point (SoftAP) and an associated wearable device (for example, a smart watch).

FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of a method for an AP to send a wake-up frame to a STA according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In step 401, the AP 120 determines the attribute of the frame check sequence FCS of the wake-up frame sent by the AP 120 to the first auxiliary wake-up module 112 of the STA 110. The attribute of the frame check sequence FCS of the wake-up frame includes at least one of the type of the frame check sequence FCS of the wake-up frame, the length of the frame check sequence FCS of the wake-up frame, and the check object of the frame check sequence FCS of the wake-up frame. . The wake-up frame is used to wake up the main communication module 111 of the STA 110.

The type of frame check sequence FCS of the wake-up frame may be the type of the frame check sequence of the default wake-up frame. For example, the type is a Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC), a hash algorithm (Hash), or an encryption algorithm (Encryption).

The frame check sequence FCS of the wake-up frame may be 32 bits, 16 bits, 8 bits, or the like.

The check object of the frame check sequence of the wake-up frame may include control information (Control Info) and/or network ID (Network ID), as shown in FIG. 2.

The check object of the frame check sequence of the wake-up frame may also include Control Info and/or Network ID and/or Receive Address.

The check object of the frame check sequence of the wake-up frame may also include one or more of Control Info, Network ID, and Receive Address.

In one example, the AP 120 may also determine one or more of the WUR ID, the network identification (Network ID), the parity bit setting information, and the frame check sequence FCS of the first auxiliary wake-up module 111 of the STA 110.

The network identifier (Network ID) is network identification information determined by the AP. There is only one network identifier in a basic service set (BSS). For example, the network identifier information may be a BSS color, or a BSSID, or a compressed BSSID.

The parity bit setting information refers to the position of the parity bit (Parity bit) contained in the WUR ID and whether the parity bit is even parity or odd parity, or the parity flag is not included in the WUR ID. Information about the parity bit settings.

The WUR ID can be used as the Receive Address in the wake-up frame, as shown in Figure 2. The WUR ID can also be used as part of the Receive Address of the wake-up frame. In this case, the receiving address (Receive Address) of the wake-up frame includes a network ID (Network ID) in addition to the WUR ID, as shown in FIG.

How the AP 120 determines the WUR ID of the first auxiliary wake-up module 111 of the STA 110 is explained in detail below.

In one example, AP 120 estimates the number of STAs that may be associated with it, and determines the WUR ID for STA 110.

Specifically, the AP 120 may randomly generate multiple WUR IDs. Assume that the AP 120 randomly generates K WUR IDs, each WUR ID has a length of N bits, and the distance between any two different WUR IDs is greater than M. For example, the parameters K, N, and M are 100, 32, and 16, respectively. Alternatively, the parameters K, N, and M may also be 10, 32, and 16, respectively. Alternatively, the parameters K, N, and M are 3, 32, and 16, respectively.

In one example, the distance of any two WUR IDs is the Hamming distance. That is, the distance between the two WUR IDs is the number of different bits on the corresponding positions of the two WUR IDs. For example, a plurality of randomly generated WUR IDs each having a length of 32 bits; one WUR ID being 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000, and another WUR ID being 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 1111 1111 1111. Since the bits of the corresponding 12 positions of the two WUR IDs are different, the distance between the two WUR IDs is 12.

When the length N of the WUR ID is fixed, for example, the length of the WUR ID is 32, a plurality of WUR ID groups can be generated according to the values of the parameters K and/or M. For example, if the value of N is 32 and there are two WUR ID groups, K=3 and M=16 in the first WUR ID group. See Figure 5, the number of WUR IDs is 3, and the WUR IDs are The distance is greater than 16; in the second WUR ID group, K = 11 and M = 16 (not shown in Fig. 5).

One application scenario is that in a wearable Wi-Fi network, the AP 120 estimates that the number of possible STAs in the Wi-Fi network is 10. The AP 120 selects the number of WUR IDs in the WUR ID group associated with its estimated AP 120, and the closest WUR ID group. Taking the first WUR ID group (N=32, K=3, M=16) and the second WUR ID group (N=32, K=11, M=16) as an example, AP120 will select K=11. Two WUR ID groups. The reason is that the number of STAs that AP 120 estimates may be associated with it is closest to K=11. After the AP 120 selects the second WUR ID group, a WUR ID is randomly selected from the WUR ID group and allocated to the STA 110.

Step 402: In the process of associating the STA 110 with the AP 120, the AP 120 sends, by using the second primary communication module 121, indication information for indicating the attributes of the FCS, including the type of the frame check sequence, the length of the frame check sequence, and the frame check. One or more of the sequences of objects.

In one example, the AP 120 may also send one or more of the WUR ID (obtained by step 401), the parity bit setting information, and the network identity to the STA 110.

In one example, the AP 120 may send one of the following contents through a Public Action Frame or a Probe Response Frame or an Association Response Frame or a Reassociation Response Frame. Or multiple to STA110: WUR ID, frame check sequence FCS type of wake-up frame, frame check sequence FCS length of wake-up frame, frame check sequence of wake-up frame FCS check object, network ID (Network ID) , parity bit setting information.

Further, the AP 120 loads the information that needs to be sent to the STA 110 as a new information element (IE) in a common action frame or probe response frame or association response frame or reassociation response frame.

In one example, the verification object of the FCS is Control Info and/or Network ID.

Since, Control Info is used to indicate information such as the frame type of the wake-up frame. For example, one bit in the Control Info is used to indicate the transmission direction (uplink or downlink) of the frame, another bit is used to indicate the frame type, and other bits are used to indicate the working channel after the STA is woken up. Therefore, the control information of different wake-up frames (Control Info) may be different.

The network ID is used to indicate the basic service set (BSS) and/or AP information to which the wake-up frame WUP belongs. The AP information is, for example, an AP's Media Access Control (MAC) address, or a compressed MAC address, or a BSS color, or a BSSID, or a compressed BSSID. Since the same Wi-Fi network, the basic service set BSS and AP information is determined, so the network identity (Network ID) is ok.

The checksum object of the frame check sequence FCS includes control information (Control Info) and/or network identifier (Network ID). For different wake-up frames sent by the AP to different STAs, the Control Info is different, and the Network ID is the same.

In the wake-up frame, the frame check sequence FCS is calculated by a specific algorithm (for example, including control information, network identification, etc.), which is related to the FCS type. For example, when the FCS type is CRC, the algorithm used is the CRC algorithm.

Therefore, the frame check sequence FCS corresponds to the control information (Control Info) one by one. That is to say, the control information (Control Info) changes, and the frame check sequence FCS of the wake-up frame changes accordingly. Based on this, the AP 120 can calculate the frame check sequence FCS according to the control information, the network identifier, and a corresponding algorithm such as a CRC algorithm.

In one example, the AP 120 stores the control information (Control Info) and the calculated frame check sequence FCS in a table manner to generate a "Control Info-FCS Table", see Table 1 below.

Control Info Frame check sequence FCS 000000 FCS#0 000001 FCS#1 000010 FCS#2 ...... ...... 111111 FCS#63

Table 1

In Table 1, when the control information is "000000", the calculated FCS is "FCS#0"; when the control information is "000001", the calculated FCS is "FCS#1"; the control information is When "000010", the calculated FCS is "FCS#2"; ...; when the control information is "111111", the calculated FCS is "FCS#63". Among them, "FCS#0", "FCS#1", "FCS#2", ... "FCS#63" are FCS values respectively obtained according to the values of the corresponding control information.

In this embodiment, the check object of the frame check sequence FCS of the wake-up frame may only include control information (Control Info) and/or network ID (Network ID), so the frame check in the "Control Info-FCS Table" The sequence FCS is generated based on Control Info and/or Network ID. The frame check sequence of the wake-up frame The check object of the FCS may also include control information (Control Info), network identifier (Network ID), and receive address (Receive Address), then the frame check sequence in the "Control Info-FCS Table" FCS is generated based on Control Info, Network ID, and Receive Address. The frame check sequence of the wake-up frame The check object of the FCS may also include control information (Control Info) and/or network identifier (Network ID) and/or receive address (Receive Address), then in the "Control Info-FCS Table" The frame check sequence FCS is generated based on Control Info and/or Network ID and/or Receive Address. The generation algorithm (ie, the type of FCS) may be a CRC algorithm or a hash algorithm or an encryption algorithm or the like.

It should be noted that the “Control Info-FCS Table”, that is, Table 1, may be separately generated by the AP 120 and the STA 110 and stored separately; the “Control Info-FCS Table” may also be generated by the AP 120. ”, and then send the “Control Info-FCS Table” to STA110, which is saved by STA110. Stored locally. Whether the AP 120 and the STA 110 respectively generate respective "Control Info-FCS Tables", or the AP 120 generates the "Control Info-FCS Table" and then sends the "Control Info-FCS Table" to the STA 110, and stores the "Control Info-FCS Table" and the storage in the AP 120. The "Control Info-FCS Table" in STA110 is exactly the same.

In step 403, the STA 110 may choose to confirm that it has received indication information from the AP 120 for indicating the FCS attribute.

Step 404, when the AP 120 needs to wake up the STA 110, the AP 120 generates a wake-up frame.

Specifically, the AP 120 obtains corresponding control information, such as the generated control information, according to the actual situation, for example, the transmission direction of the frame, the working channel used after the STA 120 is woken up, and the like. Then, the AP 120 queries the "Control Info-FCS correspondence table" in the AP 120 according to the control information 011100, that is, the query table 1, obtains the frame check sequence FCS corresponding to the control information 011100, and loads the frame check sequence into the wakeup. Frames, thereby generating wake-up frames. Alternatively, the AP 120 may also calculate the frame check sequence FCS of the wake-up frame locally, for example, using a CRC algorithm, and load the calculated frame check sequence into the wake-up frame to generate a wake-up frame. In this case, the "Control Info-FCS Correspondence Table" is not required.

In step 405, the AP 120 sends the wake-up frame to the first auxiliary wake-up module 112 of the STA 110.

Step 406: The STA 110 checks whether the wake-up frame is correct according to the wake-up frame received by the STA and the "Control Info-FCS correspondence table" stored by the STA 110.

Specifically, the STA 110 acquires control information (Control Info) from the wake-up frame received by the STA 110. Then, the "Control Info-FCS correspondence table" in the STA 110 is queried to obtain a frame check sequence FCS corresponding to the control information (Control Info). The AP 120 compares the frame check sequence FCS obtained by the lookup table with the frame check sequence FCS carried in the wake-up frame received by the AP 120. If the two are the same, the wake-up frame is correct. If the two are different, the There is an error in the wakeup frame. Or the STA 110 may also calculate the frame check sequence FCS of the received wake-up frame locally, for example, using a CRC algorithm, and then compare with the frame check sequence FCS carried in the wake-up frame received therefrom, if If the two are the same, the wake-up frame is correct. If the two are different, the wake-up frame has an error.

Step 407: In the case that the STA 110 determines that the received wake-up frame is correct, the first auxiliary wake-up module 112 of the STA 110 sends a wake-up signal to the first main communication module 111 to wake up the first main communication module 111.

In step 408, the STA 110 may choose to feed back to the AP 120 that the received wake-up frame is correct or the wake-up frame is erroneous.

FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of a method for an AP to send a wake-up frame to a STA according to another embodiment of the present invention.

In step 601, the AP 120 collects the false wake-up rate and/or the wake-up frame retransmission rate of the STA within a certain period of time.

In one example, the false wake-up rate refers to the ratio of the number of times the STA 110's primary communication module (eg, Wi-Fi interface) is erroneously awakened over a period of time to the time period.

In one example, the wake-up frame retransmission rate refers to the ratio of the number of times the AP 120 retransmits the wake-up frame to the STA 110 within a time period and the time period.

It should be noted that the AP 120 can count the number of times that the main communication module (for example, the Wi-Fi interface) of the STA 110 is erroneously awake in a time period, thereby obtaining the false wake-up of the main communication module (eg, Wi-Fi interface) of the STA 110. rate. Or the STA 110 counts the number of times the main communication module (for example, the Wi-Fi interface) of the STA 110 is erroneously awake in a time period, thereby obtaining the false wake-up rate of the main communication module (eg, Wi-Fi interface) of the STA 110, and Feedback to the AP120.

Similarly, the AP 120 can count the number of times the wake-up frame is retransmitted to the STA 110 in a time period, thereby obtaining the retransmission rate of the wake-up frame sent to the STA 110. Or, the STA 10 counts the number of times of the wake-up frame that is retransmitted to the STA 110 in a period of time, thereby obtaining the retransmission rate of the wake-up frame sent to the STA 110, and feeding back to the AP 120.

Step 602: The AP 120 determines, according to the false wake-up rate and/or the retransmission rate of the wake-up frame, the attribute of the frame check sequence FCS of the wake-up frame sent to the STA 110, including the type of the frame check sequence FCS, and the length of the frame check sequence FCS. At least one of the check objects of the frame check sequence FCS.

In one example, the length of the frame check sequence FCS is updated if the false wake-up rate of the wake-up frame exceeds a respective threshold, and/or the retransmission rate of the wake-up frame exceeds a respective threshold.

For example, if the false wake-up rate of the wake-up frame exceeds the target false wake-up rate threshold, the false wake-up rate exceeds 10% of the target wake-up rate. Then, increase the length of the frame check sequence FCS of the wake-up frame. The length of the frame check sequence FCS such as the wake-up frame can be increased from 8 bits to 10 bits.

For another example, if the retransmission rate of the wake-up frame exceeds the target retransmission rate threshold, for example, the retransmission rate exceeds 10% of the target retransmission rate. Then, the length of the frame check sequence FCS of the wake-up frame is reduced. For example, it is reduced from 8 bits to 6 bits. In the embodiment of the present invention, by shortening the length of the frame check sequence FCS of the wake-up frame, the probability of the FCS error of the wake-up frame frame check sequence is reduced, thereby effectively reducing the retransmission rate of the wake-up frame.

In one example, where the false wake-up rate of the wake-up frame exceeds a respective threshold, and/or the retransmission rate of the wake-up frame exceeds a respective threshold, then the check object of the frame check sequence of the wake-up frame is updated.

Further, in the case that the false wake-up rate of the wake-up frame exceeds the corresponding threshold, and/or the retransmission rate of the wake-up frame exceeds the corresponding threshold, the check object of the frame check sequence of the wake-up frame is updated, and the frame of the wake-up frame is reduced. Check the length of the sequence FCS.

For example, the checksum object of the frame check sequence FCS of the wake-up frame is Control Info, Network ID, and Receive Address, as shown in FIG. When the rate is lower than the corresponding threshold and/or the retransmission rate is lower than the corresponding threshold, the adjustment object of the FCS is adjusted to Control Information and Network ID, as shown in 2, while reducing the frame of the wake-up frame. Check the length of the sequence FCS.

In one example, the type of frame check sequence FCS of the wake-up frame is a CRC or a hash algorithm or an encryption algorithm (Encryption). If the false wake-up rate of the wake-up frame exceeds the corresponding threshold and/or the retransmission rate of the wake-up frame exceeds the corresponding threshold, the type of the frame check sequence FCS is changed. For example, change the CRC algorithm to a hash algorithm.

In one example, when the AP 120 assigns a WUR ID to the STA 110 according to the estimated number of STAs associated with it, if the assigned WUR ID satisfies the Hamming distance described above (see step 401), the wake-up frame is reduced. The frame check sequence is the length of the FCS, and/or the FCS type is changed to a simple algorithm, and/or the test object is reduced.

Step 603: The AP 120 calculates a frame check sequence FCS according to the control information (Control Info) and the check object of the frame check sequence FCS, and generates a "Control Info-FCS table" by using a corresponding algorithm (ie, the type of the FCS). , that is, Table 1. The method of Table 1 is specifically generated, as described in step 402 and corresponding content.

It should be noted that the AP 120 can directly send the above table 1 to the STA 110. The AP 120 may also send at least one of the attributes of the frame check sequence FCS updated by the AP 120, including the length of the FCS, the type of the FCS, and the check object of the FCS, to the STA 110. The above table 1 is calculated and generated by the STA 110. The following will be generated by STA110 The "Control Info-FCS Table" is an example and continues to be elaborated.

In step 604, the AP 120 sends at least one of the attributes of the frame check sequence FCS of the AP 120, including the length of the FCS, the type of the FCS, and the check object of the FCS, to the STA 110.

In one example, the AP 120 may also send one or more of the WUR ID, parity setting information, and network identity to the STA 110.

In one example, the AP 120 may send one of the following contents through a Public Action Frame or a Probe Response Frame or an Association Response Frame or a Reassociation Response Frame. Or multiple to STA110: WUR ID, frame check sequence FCS type of wake-up frame, frame check sequence FCS length of wake-up frame, frame check sequence of wake-up frame FCS check object, network ID (Network ID) , parity bit setting information.

Further, the AP 120 loads the information that needs to be sent to the STA 110 as a new information element (IE) in a common action frame or probe response frame or association response frame or reassociation response frame.

In step 605, the STA 110 generates a “Control Info-FCS Table” according to the attribute of the frame check sequence FCS received by the STA. For details, refer to step 402 and related content description.

Step 606, when the AP 120 needs to wake up the STA 110, the AP 120 generates a wake-up frame.

Specifically, the AP 120 obtains corresponding control information, such as the generated control information, according to the actual situation, for example, the transmission direction of the frame, the working channel used after the STA 120 is woken up, and the like. Then, the AP 120 queries the "Control Info-FCS correspondence table" in the AP 120 according to the control information 011100, that is, the query table 1, obtains the frame check sequence FCS corresponding to the control information 011100, and loads the frame check sequence into the wake-up frame. Inside, thereby generating a wake-up frame. Alternatively, the AP 120 may also calculate the frame check sequence FCS of the wake-up frame locally, for example, using a CRC algorithm, and load the calculated frame check sequence into the wake-up frame to generate a wake-up frame. In this case, the "Control Info-FCS Correspondence Table" is not required.

In step 607, the AP 120 sends the wake-up frame to the first auxiliary wake-up module 112 of the STA 110.

Step 608, the STA 110 checks whether the wake-up frame is correct according to the wake-up frame received by the STA and the "Control Info-FCS correspondence table" stored by the STA 110.

Specifically, the STA 110 acquires control information (Control Info) from the wake-up frame received by the STA 110. Then, the "Control Info-FCS correspondence table" in the STA 110 is queried to obtain a frame check sequence FCS corresponding to the control information (Control Info). The AP 120 compares the frame check sequence FCS obtained by the lookup table with the frame check sequence FCS carried in the wake-up frame received by the AP 120. If the two are the same, the wake-up frame is correct. If the two are different, the There is an error in the wakeup frame. Or the STA 110 may also calculate the frame check sequence FCS of the received wake-up frame locally, for example, using a CRC algorithm, and then compare with the frame check sequence FCS carried in the wake-up frame received therefrom, if If the two are the same, the wake-up frame is correct. If the two are different, the wake-up frame has an error. In this case, the "Control Info-FCS Correspondence Table" is not required.

Step 609, in the case that the STA 110 determines that the received wake-up frame is correct, the first auxiliary wake-up module 112 of the STA 110 sends a wake-up signal to the first main communication module 111 to wake up the first main communication module 111.

In step 610, the STA 110 may choose to feed back to the AP 120 that the received wake-up frame is correct or incorrect.

FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram of a method for an AP to send a wake-up frame to a STA according to another embodiment of the present invention.

Step 701: The AP 120 determines that the AP 120 sends the wakeup of the first auxiliary wake-up module 112 to the STA 110. The frame check sequence of the frame is the property of the FCS. The wake-up frame is used to wake up the main communication module 111 of the STA 110. The properties of the FCS are parity setting information. The parity bit setting information refers to the position of the parity bit contained in the WUR ID and whether the parity bit is an even parity or an odd parity.

Assume that the length of the WUR ID is N. For example, the parity bit setting information is even parity, and if the high (N-1) bits of the WUR ID contain an even number of 1, the lowest bit of the WUR ID is one bit "1", otherwise the lowest bit of the WUR ID Is a bit "0".

For another example, the parity setting information is an odd parity, and if the high (N-1) bits of the WUR ID include an odd number of 1, the lowest bit of the WUR ID is one bit "1", otherwise the WUR ID The lowest bit is one bit "0".

In an example, the AP 120 further determines the WUR ID of the first auxiliary wake-up module 112 of the STA 110. For details, refer to step 401 and related content description.

In step 702, the AP 120 sends the WUR ID assigned to the STA 110 to the STA 110, and sends parity bit setting information to the STA 110.

For example, the parity setting information sent by the AP 120 to the STA 110 is even parity, and if the high (N-1) bits of the WUR ID contain an even number of 1, the lowest bit of the WUR ID is one bit "1"; otherwise The lowest bit of the WUR ID is one bit "0".

In an example, the AP 120 may send the WUR ID to the STA 110 through a Public Action Frame or a Probe Response Frame or an Association Response Frame or a Reassociation Response Frame. Parity bit setting information.

Step 703, the STA 110 saves the parity bit setting information it receives locally.

In one example, STA 110 feeds back to AP 120 that WUR ID and parity bit setup information has been received.

Step 704, when the AP 120 needs to wake up the STA 110, the AP 120 generates a wake-up frame, as shown in FIG. 8.

FIG. 8 is a schematic structural diagram of still another wake-up frame according to an embodiment of the present invention. The wake-up frame includes a legacy 802.11 Preamble, a Wake-up Preamble, and a Receive Address, and the received address includes a parity bit. For example, the last bit of the received address is a parity bit.

In FIG. 8, a legacy 802.11 preamble (Legacy 802.11 Preamble) can be used for backward compatibility, so that the legacy Wi-Fi device AP 120 can judge the current frame as a Wi-Fi frame, thereby selecting a corresponding channel listening decision threshold and backoff. time. For the sake of transmission efficiency, the wake-up frame can also be without the preamble of the traditional 802.11.

Wake-up Preamble for Symbol Synchronization and Automatic Gain Control (AGC) settings, etc.

The Receive Address is used to indicate the target recipient of the wake-up frame WUP. The receiving address can be a WUR ID. The receiving address may also include a network identifier and a WUR ID.

Step 705, the AP 120 sends the wake-up frame to the first auxiliary wake-up module 112 of the STA 110. The wake-up frame is shown in FIG. 8.

Step 706, after the STA 110 receives the wake-up frame, the STA 110 determines, according to the parity setting information stored in the local (obtained by step 702), whether the wake-up frame is correct or incorrect.

For example, the STA 110 stores the local parity bit setting information as if the WUR ID is high (N-1) If the bit has an even number of "1"s, the last bit of the WUR ID is "1"; otherwise the last bit of the WUR ID is "0". The STA 110 checks that the high (N-1) bits of the WUR ID of the received wake-up frame have four "1"s, indicating that the high (N-1) bits of the WUR ID have an even number of "1"s. The STA 110 checks that the last bit of the WUR ID is "1". The STA 110 can then determine that the wake-up frame is correct.

Step 707: If the STA 110 determines that the received wake-up frame is correct, the first auxiliary wake-up module 112 of the STA 110 sends a wake-up signal to the first primary communication module 111 to wake up the first primary communication module 111, for example, to wake up Wi- Fi module.

FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram of a wireless device according to an embodiment of the present invention. The wireless device is an AP device.

In FIG. 9, the wireless device 900 includes a first primary communication module 910, a first auxiliary wake-up module 920, a processor 930, a memory 940, and a transceiver 950.

The first primary communication module 910 can be an 802.11 module, such as a Wi-Fi module, for transmitting wake-up frames and transmitting and receiving other frames.

The first auxiliary wake-up module 920 is configured to receive a wake-up frame (WUP) sent by another wireless device (for example, an AP device); and after receiving the wake-up frame, send a wake-up signal to the first primary communication module 910 to wake up the primary communication. Module 910.

The processor 930 is configured to determine an attribute of a frame check sequence FCS of the wake-up frame of the second wireless interface (such as the second auxiliary wake-up module, not shown in FIG. 9) sent to the second wireless device (such as the STA device); the wake-up frame The frame check sequence FCS has at least two attributes. And the attribute of the frame check sequence of the wake-up frame determined by the processor 930 is one attribute selected from the at least two attributes. And the attribute of the FCS includes at least one of a type, a length, and a check object of the frame check sequence. The wake-up frame is used to wake up the main communication module 910. And the processor 930 is further configured to generate a wake-up frame according to the determined attribute of the FCS.

Memory 940 is used to store corresponding instructions and programs for use by processor 930.

The transceiver 950 is configured to send, to the second wireless device, indication information for indicating an attribute of the frame check sequence, and a second wireless interface, configured to send the wake-up frame to the second wireless device, to Wake up the first wireless interface of the second wireless device.

In FIG. 9, the first primary communication module 910 and the first secondary wake-up module 920 can share the same transceiver 950. The purpose of sharing the transceiver 950 is to reduce the hardware cost of the device and to simplify the implementation in the future.

In addition, the first primary communication module 910 and the first secondary wake-up module 920 may also correspond to different transceivers, particularly when the two operate in different frequency bands.
