Communication method, network equipment and terminal

Abstract

The invention relates to a communication method, network equipment and a terminal. The method comprises the following steps: the first equipment generates a first wakeup packet and sends the first wakeup packet to a wakeup receiver WUR of the second equipment, thereby waking up a main transmitting / receiving module of the second equipment; the first equipment receives the second wakeup packet so asto respond to the first wakeup packet, wherein the second wakeup packet is sent by the second equipment. The main transmitting / receiving module of the first equipment is communicated with the main transmitting / receiving module of the second equipment after wake up. The power consumption in the communication process is effectively reduced by responding to the received wakeup packet in a way of waking up the packet, the signaling expenditure is less, and the communication time is effectively shortened.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of wireless communication, in particular to a communication method, network equipment and terminal. Background technique [0002] With the evolution of the WLAN (English: Wireless Local Area Network, wireless local area network) standard, in a wireless fidelity (English: Wireless Fidelity, WiFi) network, when a terminal device (such as a workstation) does not send and receive messages (such as the Nodata stage), A significant portion of energy is wasted listening to the channel when there is no signal received. IEEE (English: Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) 802.11 working group is preparing to wake up the receiver with low power consumption (English: Low Power Wake Up Radio / Low Power Wake Up Receiver, LP-WUR, also called wake up radio) (hereinafter referred to as WUR) as the core technology to reduce WiFi power consumption. It can be seen t...

[0004] However, the terminal uses the 802.11 frame format to send a wake-up confirmation frame to the 802.11 main transceiver module of the AP, that is to say, the 802.11 main transceiver module of the AP needs to be turned on all the time, waiting to receive the wake-up confirmation frame, which consumes a lot of power. Especially when the wake-up process fails, because the wake-up confirmation frame cannot be received for a long time, the power consumption will increase
