Power managing method of wireless network apparatus and power manager thereof

Abstract

A power managing method applied to a wireless network apparatus includes the steps of periodically detecting whether the wireless network apparatus is operated in a non-link status to determine whether to enter a first power-saving mode when the wireless network apparatus powered on; and determining the wireless network apparatus whether to enter a second power-saving mode according to an information of a beacon received by the wireless network apparatus when the wireless network apparatus is operated in a link status. When the wireless network apparatus is detected to be operated in the non-link status, the wireless network apparatus is controlled to enter the first power-saving mode by a power mode controlling circuit.

Description

technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to a power management method and its power manager, in particular to a power management method and its power manager applied to a wireless network device. Background technique

[0002] In recent years, the popularization and reasonable price of computers and network equipment have prompted the establishment of local area networks to grow substantially and continuously. The network can connect terminals of different users in different locations, so that digital data can be circulated and transmitted quickly and efficiently, and various messages, data, and knowledge can also be shared by many users on the network. Especially in recent years, the development of wireless network (wireless local area network, WLAN) can remove the shackles of the network transmission line to the terminal, so that the wireless Internet terminal has the characteristics of portable and mobile, and can be used anytime, anywhere Provides users with ...
