Method for implementing power saving of access point and access point on wireless communication network

摘要

A method for implementing power saving of an access point on a wireless communication network includes: when detecting that no mobile terminal is associated, switching, by the access point, from a normal working mode to a power saving working mode; and periodically broadcasting, by the access point, a simplified beacon frame in the power saving working mode, where the simplified frame includes only a service set identity. An embodiment of the present invention further provides an access point on a wireless communication network. The access point broadcasts the simplified beacon frame in the power saving working mode. Therefore, the length of the beacon frame is shortened, thereby shortening the sending time to achieve the objective of reducing power consumption.

1. A method for implementing power saving of an access point on a wireless communication network, comprising:
switching, by the access point, from a normal working mode to a power saving working mode after detecting that no mobile terminal is associated; and reducing the access point's transmission power by: periodically broadcasting in the power saving working mode, a simplified beacon frame which consists of only a service set identity.
