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. 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 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 sends ("SLP") request to host and wait for the ("ACK") from host and goes to sleep when ACK is given by host. Timer starts when power save command is issued and it can be configured by host using rsi_wlan_set_sleep_timer API. If host does not set any sleep time, then the timer is configured for 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 as module's state is not retained. Returns

                                  The following are the regions and the values to be passed instead of macros in the example.
                                  Region      |          Macro Value

           3. <CHANNEL_CODE_2G> is a 8 bit value which is encoded as:
              If TX powers of all the channels are same, then use CHANNEL_CODE_2G as 17. In this case, mention channel number as 255.
              Tf TX power is not same for all channels, then indicate CHANNEL_CODE_2G as no-of channels. And specify tx power values for all the channels indicated.
           4. <CHANNEL_CODE_5G> is a 8 bit value encoded as number of rows in a region for 5G band.
               a. 5G is divided into 4 sub bands: 
                     band 1: channel number <= 48 
                     band 2: channel number > 48 and channel number <= 64 
                     band 3: channel number > 64 and channel number <= 144 
                     band 4: channel number > 144 
               b. If any channel in a band has different set of power values, specify the channel number followed by power values. 
               c. If all the channels in a band 1 has same power values, specify the band number as 1 followed by power value. 
               d. If all the channels in a band 2 has same power values, specify the band number as 2 followed by power value. 
               e. If all the channels in a band 3 has same power values, specify the band number as 3 followed by power value. 
               f. If all the channels in a band 4 has same power values, specify the band number as 4 followed by power value.

Returns

• 0 - Success

• Non-Zero Value - Failure (Possible Error Codes - 0xfffffffe,0xfffffffd,0x0021,0x003E)

Note

• Precondition - rsi_radio_init() API needs to be called before this API

• Length of the payload should match with payload_len parameter value.

• 40MHz is not supported in both 2.4GHz and 5GHz

• This API must be used by customers who has done FCC/RED/TELEC certification with their own antenna. Inappropriate use of this API may result in violation of FCC/RED/TELEC, or any certifications and Silicon labs is not liable for that.

• Internally firmware maintains two gain tables: Worldwide table & Region based table. Worldwide table is populated by firmware with maximum power values that chip can transmit that meets target specifications like EVM. Region based table has default gain value set.

• When certifying with your own antenna, region must be set to Worldwide and sweep the power from 0 to 21dBm. Arrive at maximum power level that is passing certification especially band-edge.

• These FCC/RED/TELEC maximum power level should be loaded in end-to-end mode via WLAN User Gain table.

• This API must be called after every boot-up since this information is not saved inside flash.

• Region based user gain table sent by application is copied onto Region based table. SoC uses this table in FCC/RED/TELEC to limit power and not to violate allowed limits. For Worldwide region firmware uses Worldwide table for transmit. For other regions (FCC/RED/TELEC), firmware uses minimum value of Worldwide and Region based table for transmit.

• There will be part to part variation across chips and offsets are estimated during manufacturing flow which will be applied as correction factor during normal mode of operation.

• Refer to Error Codes for the description of above error codes.
