Power save modes description#

• Power Save Mode 0 In this mode, module is active and power save is disabled. It can be configured any time, while the module is configured in Power Save mode 2 or 8.

• Power save Mode 1 Once the module is configured to power save mode 1, it wakes up periodically based upon the DTIM interval configured in connected AP. In power mode 1, only the RF of the module is in power save while SOC continues to work normally. This command has to be given only when module is in connected state (with the AP). After having configured the module to power save mode, the Host can issue subsequent commands. In power save mode 1 the module can receive data from host at any point of time but it can send/receive the data to/from remote terminal only when it is awake at DTIM intervals.

• Power Save Mode 2 Once the module is configured to power save mode 2, it can be woken up either by the Host or periodically during its sleep-wakeup cycle. Power Save mode 2 is GPIO based. In case of GPIO based mode, whenever host wants to send data to module, it gives wakeup request by asserting UULP GPIO #2. After wakeup, if the module is ready for data transfer, it sends wakeup indication to host by asserting UULP GPIO #3 or UULP GPIO #0. Host is required to wait until module gives wakeup indication before sending any data to the module. After the completion of data transfer, host can give sleep permission to module by de-asserting UULP GPIO #2. After recognizing sleep permission from host, module gives confirmation to host by de-asserting UULP GPIO #3 or UULP GPIO #0 and again goes back to its sleep-wakeup cycle. Module can send received packets or responses to host at any instant of time. No handshake is required on Rx path.

• Power Save mode 3 Power Mode 3 is message based power save. In Power Mode 3, both radio and SOC of RS9116-WiSeConnect are in power save mode. This mode is significant when module is in associated state with AP. Module wakes up periodically upon every DTIM and gives wakeup message ("WKP") to host. Module can not be woken up asynchronously. Every time module intends to go to sleep it sends a sleep request message ("SLP") to the host and expects host to send the acknowledgement message ("ACK"). Host either send acknowledgement ("ACK") or any other pending message. But once ACK is sent, Host should not send any other message unless next wakeup message from module is received. Module shall not go into complete power-save state, if ACK is not received from host for given sleep message. Module can send received packets or responses to host at any instant of time. No handshake is required on Rx path.

• Power Save mode 8 In Power save mode 8, both RF and SOC of the module are in complete power save mode. This mode is significant only when module is in un-connected state. Power Save mode 8 can be GPIO based. In case of GPIO based, host can wakeup the module from power save by asserting UULP GPIO #2. After wakeup, if the module is ready for data transfer, it sends wakeup indication to host by asserting UULP GPIO #3 or UULP GPIO #0. Once the module wakes up, it continues to be in wakeup state until it gets power mode 8 commands from host.

• Power save mode 9 In Power Mode 9 both Radio and SOC of RS9116-WiSeConnect are in complete power save mode. This mode is significant when module is not connected with any AP. Once power mode 9 command is given, the module goes to sleep immediately and wakes up after sleep duration and it can be configured by host using rsi_wlan_set_sleep_timer API. If host does not set any sleep time, then the module wakes up in 3sec by default. Upon wakeup module sends a wakeup message to the host and expects host to give ACK before it goes into next sleep cycle. Host either send ACK or any other messages but once ACK is sent no other packet should be sent before receiving next wakeup message. When ulp_mode_enable is set to '2', after waking up from sleep, the module sends WKP FRM SLEEP message to host when RAM retention is not enabled. After receiving WKP FRM SLEEP message, host needs to start giving commands from beginning (opermode) as module's state is not retained. Returns
