[0043] As Wi-Fi standards are constantly updated, Wi-Fi receivers are becoming more and more complex. In the 5 GHz frequency band, there are beacon frames that comply with corresponding communication protocols, such as beacon frames that comply with 802.11a / n / ac / ax protocols. When a Wi-Fi receiver receives a beacon frame, it consumes a lot of power.

[0044] In order to solve the problems of the prior art, the embodiments of the present invention provide a method, device, electronic device and computer storage medium for determining the working mode of a wifi receiver. The working mode determination method of a wifi receiver provided by the embodiments of the present invention is first introduced below.

[0045] Figure 1 The flowchart of a method for determining the working mode of a wifi receiver provided by an embodiment of the present invention is shown. The wifi receiver is configured as a preset receiving mode, which is a receiving mode that complies with the 802.11a protocol and has a transmission rate of 6Mbps in the 5GHz frequency band. Figure 1 As shown, the working mode determination method of the wifi receiver may include the following steps:

[0046] S101. Determine a receiving period according to a service period of a wifi receiver.

[0047] S102: Based on a receiving cycle, receive a beacon frame corresponding to a preset receiving mode and sent by an AP.

[0048] S103: Calculate the SNR and RSSI of the beacon frame.

[0049] S104: When it is determined that both the SNR and the RSSI satisfy the corresponding preset conditions, parse the TIM or DTIM in the beacon frame to obtain a parsing result.

[0050] S105. According to the analysis result, a sleep operation or a wake-up operation is performed on the wifi receiver.

[0051] In one embodiment, according to the analysis result, performing a sleep operation or a wake-up operation on the wifi receiver includes:

Among them, the preset receiving mode is a receiving mode that complies with the 802.11a protocol and has a transmission rate of 6Mbps in the 5GHz frequency band. It can be seen that the wifi receiver in the method is configured as the preset receiving mode, so it can only receive the beacon frame corresponding to the preset receiving mode, that is, it only receives the beacon frame that complies with the 802.11a protocol and has a transmission rate of 6Mbps, so it can reduce the power consumption of the wifi receiver. The method only turns on the 5GHz 11a 6M receiving mode of the wifi receiver and turns off other receiving modes except 11a 6M, so it can reduce the power consumption of the wifi receiver.
