Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present application relate to the field of signal processing, and in particular to a method for adjusting power of a wireless access device and a wireless access device. Background Art

[0002] With the development of mobile phones and other terminals, users have higher and higher requirements for Internet speed. Correspondingly, wireless access devices such as routers can also provide a higher-speed Internet experience, but this also brings about an increase in the power consumption of wireless access devices.

[0003] Therefore, some current wireless access devices have the ability to adjust power. When users have high network signal requirements, the device increases power, thereby enhancing the wireless network signal. When users have low network signal requirements, the device reduces power, thereby reducing unnecessary power consumption. Current power adjustment schemes for wireless access devices mostly adjust the transmit power based on the device's standard, modulation method, and signal strength.

[0004] The current technical solution for adjusting the power of wireless access devices considers only the strength of the wireless network signal as a dynamic parameter. For users with different network signal requirements, the adjustment is only based on the strength of the wireless network signal. Therefore, the current adjustment solution is not flexible enough and cannot minimize the power consumption of wireless access devices while meeting wireless signal requirements. Summary of the Invention

Those skilled in the art will appreciate that with the development of technology and the emergence of new scenarios, the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present application are also applicable to similar technical problems.

It should be understood that the terms used in this manner are interchangeable where appropriate so that the embodiments described herein can be implemented in an order other than that illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "including" and "having," as well as any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions, e.g., a process, method, system, product, or apparatus comprising a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not explicitly listed or that are inherent to these processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0035] See also Figure 1 The current technical solution for adjusting the power of wireless access devices only considers the strength of the wireless network signal as a dynamic parameter. For users with different network signal requirements, the power is only adjusted according to the strength of the wireless signal. Therefore, the current power adjustment solution is not flexible enough and cannot save the power consumption of wireless access devices to the greatest extent.

[0036] See also Figure 2 In an embodiment of the present application, when a terminal device such as a mobile phone is connected to a wireless access device such as a router, a Wi-Fi controller is added to the network architecture to obtain real-time traffic parameters and communication quality parameters of the wireless access device and adjust the power of the wireless access device, thereby achieving maximum resource conservation. The terminal device can be a terminal device or client that can connect to a wireless access device, such as a mobile phone, laptop, or tablet computer, and the specific details are not limited here; the wireless access device can be a wireless access device such as a router, wireless connector, or base station, and the specific details are not limited here.

[0037] The following describes the power adjustment method of the wireless access device in the embodiment of the present application:

[0038] See also Figure 3In an embodiment of the present application, the wireless access device first obtains the real-time traffic parameters and communication quality parameters of the wireless access device, and then calculates the power consumption requirement parameters actually required by the wireless access device based on the real-time traffic parameters and communication quality parameters, and then adjusts the power consumption of the wireless access device according to the power consumption requirement parameters, thereby achieving precise adjustment of the wireless access device and minimizing the power consumption of the wireless access device while meeting the wireless signal requirements.

[0039] In the embodiment of the present application, when the wireless access device adjusts the power of the wireless access device according to the power consumption requirement parameter, the power of the wireless access device can be adjusted by adjusting the number of enabled antennas, or by adjusting the wireless access device to the wireless signal transceiver mode of the wireless access device, which are described below respectively.

[0040] 1. Wireless access devices adjust the power of wireless access devices by adjusting the number of enabled antennas

[0041] See also Figure 4 , a process of the wireless access device power adjustment method in an embodiment of the present application includes:

[0042] 401. The wireless access device obtains real-time traffic parameters and communication quality parameters.

[0043] The wireless access device periodically obtains real-time traffic parameters and communication quality parameters. Specifically, when the wireless access device establishes a connection with a terminal device and transmits data, the wireless access device can periodically obtain real-time traffic parameters through its own real-time traffic statistics module. The real-time traffic parameters indicate the amount of data transmitted by the wireless access device. Specifically, the real-time traffic parameters can be simply the total amount of data transmitted by the wireless access device in a certain time period, such as the amount of data transmitted in one minute or one second as the real-time traffic parameter, or the average amount of data transmitted in a certain time period, such as obtaining the amount of data transmitted in one minute and then calculating the average amount of data transmitted per second as the real-time traffic parameter. The specific details are not limited here.

[0044] The wireless access device can periodically obtain real-time communication quality parameters through its own real-time communication quality statistics module. The communication quality parameters indicate the quality of the wireless signal established between the wireless access device and at least one terminal device. The communication quality parameters can also indicate at least one of the strength of the wireless signal between the wireless access device and at least one terminal device, the maximum network speed that can be carried, the ratio between the wireless signal strength and the maximum network speed that can be carried, and the maximum network speed under the preset signal strength. The specific details are not limited here.

[0045] The wireless access device can obtain real-time traffic parameters and communication quality parameters through its own real-time traffic statistics module and data transmission quality statistics module. The wireless access device can also obtain real-time traffic parameters and communication quality parameters through external devices connected to it. For example, the wireless access device can determine the real-time traffic parameters and communication quality parameters of the wireless access device by obtaining the traffic parameters and signal quality parameters counted by a terminal or multiple terminals. For example, the sum of the various traffic parameters of all terminal devices connected to the wireless access device is determined as the real-time traffic parameter, and the average value of the wireless signal quality parameters of all terminal devices connected to the wireless access device is used as the communication quality parameter. The lowest value of the wireless signal quality parameters of all terminal devices connected to the wireless access device can also be used as the communication quality parameter. The specific details are not limited here.

[0046] In the embodiment of the present application, the wireless access device obtains the real-time traffic parameters and the communication quality parameters, which may be started after the wireless access device receives the network request of the terminal.

[0047] In the embodiment of the present application, the wireless access device obtains real-time traffic parameters and communication quality parameters, which may be the real-time traffic parameters and communication quality parameters of the current working moment, or the real-time traffic parameters and communication quality parameters of a previous time period, which are not specifically limited here.

[0048] In one possible implementation, a wireless access device periodically obtains real-time traffic parameters, communication quality parameters, and a standard weight parameter of the wireless access device. The wireless access device may determine a power consumption requirement parameter of the wireless access device based on the real-time traffic parameters, communication quality parameters, and the standard weight parameter of the wireless access device. The standard weight parameter indicates the degree to which the standard of the wireless access device affects the power consumption requirement parameter of the wireless access device. The standard of the wireless access device includes standard information such as the standard of the wireless access device's own network protocol and the wireless signal modulation method, and the specific information is not limited here.

[0049] 402. The wireless access device determines a power consumption requirement parameter.

[0050] The wireless access device determines the power consumption requirement parameters according to the real-time traffic parameters and communication quality parameters.

[0051] Specifically, in one possible implementation, the wireless access device determines that the sum of the traffic power consumption parameter T and the communication quality power consumption parameter Q is the power consumption requirement parameter Pn, that is, Pn=T+Q; the traffic power consumption parameter T is the product of the real-time traffic parameter Tn and the power-flow ratio Wt, that is, T=Tn*Wt; the communication quality power consumption parameter Q is the product of the communication quality parameter Qn and the power-quality ratio Wq, that is, Q=Qn*Wq; that is, the power consumption requirement parameter Pn=T+Q=Tn*Wt+Qn*Wq. The power flow ratio indicates the size of the power consumption requirement parameter required or corresponding to each unit of the real-time flow parameter. The calculation unit of the real-time flow parameter can be bits or kilobytes KB and other units. The calculation unit of the power flow ratio Wt is usually watts per bit W / bit or watts per kilobyte W / KB; the power quality ratio indicates the size of the power consumption requirement parameter required or corresponding to each unit of the communication quality parameter. The communication quality parameter Qn can be a parameter such as the signal-to-noise ratio, and the unit is decibel db. The corresponding calculation unit of the power quality ratio Wq can be watts per decibel W / db or kilowatts per decibel KW / db. For example, if the wireless access device determines that the real-time traffic parameter Tn is 100KB and the power-to-flow ratio Wt is 5W / KB, then the traffic power consumption parameter T = Tn*Wt = 100KB*5W / KB = 500W; if the wireless access device determines that the communication quality parameter Qn is 100db and the power-to-quality ratio Wq is 5W / db, then the communication quality power consumption parameter QQ = Qn*Wq = 100db*5W / db = 500W, and the power consumption requirement parameter Pn = T+Q = 500W+500W = 1000W. This embodiment of the present application specifically provides a method for a wireless access device to determine a power consumption requirement parameter based on real-time traffic parameters and communication quality parameters. In addition, there are multiple other determination methods, such as determining the product of the traffic power consumption parameter and the communication quality power consumption parameter as the power consumption requirement parameter, which is not limited herein.

[0052] In one possible implementation, the wireless access device determines a power consumption requirement parameter based on the standard, real-time traffic parameters, and communication quality parameters of the wireless access device. Specifically, the power consumption requirement parameter Pn may be the sum of the standard weight parameter W, the traffic power consumption parameter T, and the communication quality power consumption parameter Q of the wireless access device, that is, Pn=W+T+Q. The standard weight parameter W indicates the degree of influence of the standard of the wireless access device on the power consumption requirement parameter of the wireless access device. Specifically, the standard weight parameter W corresponding to a certain standard may be set to a fixed number; or it may be the product of the standard weight parameter W of the wireless access device, the sum of the traffic power consumption parameter T, and the communication quality power consumption parameter Q. Specifically, a certain standard may be set to a fixed or dynamically adjusted weight parameter, that is, Pn=W*(T+Q).

[0053] The standard of the wireless access device includes standard information such as the standard of the wireless access device's own network protocol and the wireless signal modulation method, which is not specifically limited here.

[0054] The embodiment of the present application specifically provides a method for a wireless access device to determine a power consumption requirement parameter based on the standard, real-time traffic parameters, and communication quality parameters of the wireless access device. In addition, there are multiple determination methods, such as determining the product of the traffic power consumption parameter and the communication quality power consumption parameter and the sum of the standard weight parameter of the wireless access device as the power consumption requirement parameter, which is not specifically limited here.

[0055] The embodiments of the present application specifically provide a method for a wireless access device to determine power consumption requirement parameters based on real-time traffic parameters and communication quality parameters, and a method for determining power consumption requirement parameters based on the standard of the wireless access device, real-time traffic parameters and communication quality parameters. In addition, the wireless access device can also determine the power consumption requirement parameters based on other parameters, such as other parameters affecting the quality of the wireless signal and other parameters affecting the transmission speed of the wireless signal, or other external influencing factors, such as the distance between the terminal and the wireless access device, etc., which are not specifically limited here.

[0056] 403. The wireless access device adjusts the number of enabled antennas.

[0057] The wireless access device adjusts the power of the wireless access device according to the power consumption requirement parameter. Specifically, the wireless access device determines a corresponding target power consumption requirement interval based on the power consumption requirement parameter, where the target power consumption requirement interval indicates a power consumption range corresponding to the power consumption requirement parameter, and then adjusts the power of the wireless access device according to the target power consumption requirement interval.

[0058] The wireless access device determines the power consumption requirement interval to which the power consumption requirement parameter belongs. The power consumption requirement interval can be pre-set or dynamically adjusted by the wireless access device based on actual conditions. For example, if the power consumption requirement parameter is Pn, the power consumption requirement intervals can be [P0, P1) and [P1, P2). The power consumption requirement interval to which the power consumption requirement parameter belongs is [P1, P2), and can also be [P2, P3). Specific details are not limited here.

[0059] The wireless access device adjusts the number of enabled antennas to correspond to the power consumption requirement range according to the power consumption requirement range. The specific correspondence between the power consumption requirement range and the number of enabled antennas is shown in Table 1.

[0060] Power consumption requirement range Number of antennas that should be enabled [P0,P1) 1 [P1,P2) 2 [P2,P3) 3 [P3,P4) 4

[0061] Table 1

[0062] As shown in Table 1, for a wireless access device with four antennas, the wireless access device can set the number of antennas to be enabled corresponding to the power consumption requirement interval [P0, P1) to 1; the number of antennas to be enabled corresponding to the power consumption requirement interval [P1, P2) to 2; the number of antennas to be enabled corresponding to the power consumption requirement interval [P2, P3) to 4; and the number of antennas to be enabled corresponding to the power consumption requirement interval [P3, P4) to 4. In addition, other corresponding relationships between power consumption requirement intervals and the number of antennas to be enabled can also be used. For example, for a wireless access device with five antennas, the number of antennas to be enabled corresponding to the power consumption requirement interval [P4, P5) can be set to 5. The specific relationship is not limited here.

[0063] If the wireless access device determines whether the number of antennas corresponding to the target power requirement interval is the same as the number of currently enabled antennas, if so, no adjustment is made; if not, the number of enabled antennas is adjusted to match the number of antennas corresponding to the target power requirement interval. For example, if the number of antennas corresponding to the target power requirement interval is 3 and the wireless access device determines that the number of currently enabled antennas is 3, no adjustment is made; if the number of currently enabled antennas is 2, the number of enabled antennas is adjusted to 3. The specifics are not limited here.

[0064] The wireless access device in this embodiment adjusts its own power by adjusting the number of enabled antennas. In addition, it can also adjust its own power by changing from a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) mode to a single-receive single-transmit (SISO) mode, which is described in detail below.

[0065] 2. Wireless access devices adjust their own power by adjusting the transmit and receive modes.

[0066] See also Figure 5 , a process of the wireless access device power adjustment method in an embodiment of the present application includes:

[0067] 501. The wireless access device obtains real-time traffic parameters and communication quality parameters.

[0068] In the embodiment of the present application, step 501 is similar to step 401 and will not be repeated here.

[0069] 502. The wireless access device determines a power consumption requirement parameter.

[0070] In the embodiment of the present application, step 502 is similar to step 402 and will not be repeated here.

[0071] 503. The wireless access device adjusts the transceiver mode.

[0072] The wireless access device adjusts the power of the wireless access device by adjusting the transceiver mode according to the power consumption requirement parameter. The wireless access device adjusts the transceiver mode of the wireless access device between the multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) mode and the single-receive single-transmit (SISO) mode according to the power consumption requirement parameter.

[0073] Specifically, the wireless access device determines the power consumption requirement interval to which the power consumption requirement parameter belongs. If the power consumption requirement interval to which it belongs is a preset power consumption requirement interval, the wireless access device adjusts from the multiple-input multiple-output MIMO mode to the single-receive single-transmit SISO mode; if the power consumption requirement interval to which the power consumption requirement parameter belongs is not the preset power consumption requirement interval, the wireless access device adjusts from the single-receive single-transmit SISO mode to the multiple-input multiple-output MIMO mode.

[0074] In addition, the wireless access device can also determine whether the power consumption requirement parameter is less than a preset value. If it is less than the preset value, the wireless access device is adjusted from the multiple-input multiple-output MIMO mode to the single-receive single-transmit SISO mode; if it is greater than the preset value, the wireless access device is adjusted from the single-receive single-transmit SISO mode to the multiple-input multiple-output MIMO mode. For example, the preset value is P1, and the power consumption requirement parameter is P2. If P2>P1, and the current wireless access device is in the single-receive single-transmit SISO mode, the wireless access device will adjust the receiving mode from the single-receive single-transmit SISO mode to the multiple-input multiple-output MIMO mode; if P2<P1, and the current wireless access device is in the multiple-input multiple-output MIMO mode, the wireless access device will adjust the receiving mode from the single-receive single-transmit SISO mode to the multiple-input multiple-output MIMO mode; the specific details are not limited here.

[0075] In the embodiment of the present application, the wireless access device adjusts the power of the wireless access device by adjusting the number of enabled antennas and adjusting the transceiver mode. In addition, the wireless access device can also adjust its own power by other means, for example, the wireless access device can also adjust the output power of the antenna, which is not limited here.
