Power control method and device of wireless local area network access point device

Abstract

The invention discloses a power control method of a wireless local area network access point device, which comprises the following steps: using the wireless local area network access point device (AP) to obtain the current signal intensity or the data transmission quality; comparing the obtained signal intensity or the data transmission quality with a preset threshold, and obtaining the comparison result; and determining whether to adjust the transmission power of the wireless local area network access point device or not according to the comparison result. The invention further discloses a power control device of the wireless local area network access point device, which can realize energy conservation of the wireless local area network access point device through the flexible control of the transmission power.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the control technology of wireless network equipment, in particular to a power control method and device of wireless local area network access point equipment. Background technique [0002] The energy problem is an important issue that is widely concerned by the world, and many industries have taken the energy saving problem as an important measurement index, and the communication industry is no exception. The energy saving of a large number of communication equipment can also make an important contribution to solving the energy problem. The wireless local area network technology based on the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) 802.11 series specifications is an important and widely used technology in the home network interconnection technology. For the energy saving of WLAN devices, relevant solutions have been given in IEEE802.11e, but these solutions are...

Problems solved by technology

However, when the WLAN access point device is in an idle state, or the signal quality of the device communicating with it is good and does not require a large data bandwidth, if the WLAN access point device still transmits data with relatively high power, it will cause waste of power consumption

[0004] To sum up, since the existing WLAN access point devices cannot adaptively and dynamically adjust their own transmission power according to the flexible and changeable environment in actual applications, it is easy to cause waste of power consumption of the WLAN access point devices. Cannot achieve the purpose of equipment energy saving
