Detailed Description
Reference will now be made in detail to exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, the same numbers in different drawings refer to the same or similar elements, unless otherwise indicated. The implementations described in the following exemplary examples are not representative of all implementations consistent with the present disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure as detailed in the accompanying claims.
Before describing embodiments of the present application, the background art of the present application will be explained first:
in recent years, the development of the communication technology of the internet of things is rapid, the application of the wireless communication module on various terminal devices of the internet of things is more and more extensive, the terminal devices generally have certain requirements on the whole power consumption, and the wireless communication module and various peripheral modules are embedded.
The wireless communication module is generally provided with a control channel and a data channel externally, and provides physical interfaces with various forms as much as possible so as to integrate terminal equipment. Typical data channels are universal asynchronous receiver Transmitter (Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter, UART), universal serial bus (Universal Serial Bus, USB), high speed serial computer expansion bus standard (peripheral component interconnect express, PCIe), ethernet ports, etc., which are also widely used in many terminal devices today.
Because of the integration and versatility, the communication module will not embed an ethernet interface. One typical implementation is to provide PCIe interfaces on the module side while providing support on the drive for PCIe interface-equipped network Physical (PHY) chips of some typical vendors. However, this implementation also presents challenges in terms of driving and power management of the network PHY chip, and in terms of power consumption design with which the module itself is compatible.
Therefore, many wireless communication modules currently either do not claim support for an ethernet port or claim support for an ethernet port while emphasizing application scenarios that are insensitive to power consumption. Thus, the existing Ethernet port requirements are limited, and the application sensitive to power consumption is also limited.
Specifically, the following technical problems occur:
1. in certain battery-powered terminal applications, it is desirable to have both an ethernet interface and reduce power consumption of the ethernet module when data transmission is not performed. And the power consumption of the external Ethernet PHY chip is still relatively large even when no data transmission exists.
The technical problems occur as follows: chip itself static power consumption: the static power consumption of the PHY chip itself is currently relatively high, especially with respect to battery-powered terminal devices;
furthermore, the host PCIe driver: the current upper computer PCIe drive of the PHY chip is mainly provided by a chip manufacturer, and the current drive is mainly considered to be applied to windows systems of personal computers (Personal Computer, PCs) or linux systems of industrial control types, and the upper computer systems are generally directly provided with external power supplies, so that the chip-level power consumption is basically not concerned, and the control and optimization of the power consumption are relatively limited in the implementation of the PHY chip design and a driving power management module.
Even if the chip manufacturer provides a certain driving implementation in the aspect of power management optimization, the overall power consumption also depends on the support of the upper chip platform itself on the PCIe bus level driver, and the implementation of PCIe drivers of some upper chip platform manufacturers on the power management is still not perfect.
2. After the communication module wakes up, powers up the PHY chip again and loads the PHY driver, the physical layer link between the communication module and the upper computer is not enabled, such as a basic ping packet test failure.
The technical problems occur as follows: PHY chip drives may not be loaded successfully in effect
3. After the communication module wakes up, powers up the PHY chip again and loads the PHY drive, the data path between the upper computer and the network server is not connected, for example, the access to the public network address fails.
The technical problems occur as follows: there may be some coupling and sequencing issues between the communication module sleep wake-up process and the various operations of the PHY chip.
The technical conception process of the inventor aiming at the technical problems is as follows: the method is characterized in that the PHY chip is powered off when data transmission is not needed, the PHY chip is powered on when the data transmission is needed, PCIe bus scanning is triggered once again after the PHY chip is powered on and before PHY chip driving is loaded, the dormancy wakeup process of the communication module is checked, the sequence of dormancy wakeup of the communication module and each operation loop of the PHY chip is reasonably planned, namely, each link of dormancy wakeup of the communication module and PHY chip operation needs to be combed, and the inherent relation and sequence relation can be determined, so that the technical problems can be solved.
The technical scheme of the application is described in detail by specific examples. It should be noted that the following embodiments may be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described in detail in some embodiments. Embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

3. upper computer 11: the wireless networking function is realized through the PHY chip 12 and the communication module 13.
Further, a configuration channel formed by connecting the configuration interface of the upper computer 11 with the configuration interface of the communication module 13 is used for realizing configuration information interaction between the upper computer 11 and the module; the RJ45 network port of the upper computer 11 is connected with the PCIe bus of the communication module 13 through the PHY chip 12 to form a data channel for realizing a data path between the upper computer 11 and the PHY chip 12; the power interface of the upper computer 11 is connected with the power interface of the PHY chip 12 to realize the power control of the upper computer 11 to the PHY chip 12, namely power-off, power-on and the like; the dormancy wakeup module of the upper computer 11 is connected with the dormancy wakeup module of the communication module 13 to realize the dormancy wakeup control function of the upper computer 11 on the module.
The PCIe bus is used to implement configuration and data interaction paths between the communication module 13 and the PHY chip 12.
Furthermore, the above design provides a configuration operation interface to the client side.
Optionally, after the communication module 13 sends the first data, the upper computer 11 controls the communication module 13 to complete the activation dialing operation through the configuration channel, controls the communication module 13 to unload the drive of the PHY chip 12, controls the communication module 13 to enter the sleep state through the sleep wake-up module, and cuts off the power of the PHY chip 12.
In one possible implementation, after the upper computer 11 utilizes the PHY chip 12 and the communication module 13 to send data to the wireless communication network, that is, the upper computer 11 detects that the data is sent, the upper computer 11 firstly controls the communication module 13 to complete operations such as deactivation dialing through a configuration channel, then controls the communication module 13 to unload the PHY chip 12 to drive, then controls the communication module 13 to enter a sleep state through the sleep wake-up module, and finally cuts off power to the PHY chip 12 through a power interface, thereby enabling the system to enter a minimum power consumption state.
The low power consumption processing of the upper computer 11 is realized by the client side.
The communication system provided by the embodiment of the application comprises: the upper computer is connected with the configuration interface of the communication module to form a configuration channel, an RJ45 network port of the upper computer is connected with a PCIe bus of the communication module through the PHY chip to form a data channel, a power interface of the upper computer is connected with a power interface of the PHY chip, a dormancy wakeup module of the upper computer is connected with a dormancy wakeup module of the communication module, the upper computer controls the communication module to complete deactivation dialing operation after the communication module sends first data through the configuration channel, controls the communication module to unload PHY chip drive, controls the communication module to enter a dormancy state through the dormancy wakeup module, cuts off the power of the PHY chip, and reduces the power consumption of the PHY chip when no data is transmitted.
On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment of the communication system, fig. 2 is a schematic flow chart of a communication method according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 2, the communication method includes the steps of:
and step 21, after the communication module is detected to send the first data, the communication module is controlled by the configuration channel to complete the deactivation dialing operation.
In this step, in the above communication system, the upper computer realizes one transmission of the data (first data) through cooperation between the PHY chip and the communication module, that is, the upper computer detects that the communication module transmits the first data, and at this time, the upper computer controls the communication module to complete operations such as deactivation dialing through a configuration channel between the upper computer and the communication module.
Optionally, after the first data transmission is completed, in order to make the communication system enter into low power consumption, the operation of activating the dialing is first controlled by the configuration channel to control the communication module to exit.
Before this step, the communication module is controlled to complete the dial-up connection with the wireless communication network through the configuration channel in response to the first data transmission request of the user.
The first data sending request is used for controlling the communication module to send the first data to the wireless communication network.
Optionally, when the user needs to use the upper computer to send the first data, the upper computer responds to the first data sending request of the user, and controls the communication module to complete dial-up connection with the wireless communication network through a configuration channel between the upper computer and the communication module.
Further, after the communication module completes dial-up connection with the wireless communication network, the communication module is controlled to send the first data through the data channel.
At this time, the upper computer sends the first data to the communication module through the data channel between the upper computer and the PHY chip and the data and configuration channel between the PHY chip and the communication module, and the communication module sends the first data to the wireless communication network.
And 22, controlling the communication module to unload the PHY chip drive, controlling the communication module to enter a dormant state through the dormant wake-up module, and powering off the PHY chip.
In this step, after the upper computer detects that the communication module has transmitted the first data, in order to reduce power consumption of the communication system when no data is transmitted, the upper computer controls the communication module to unload the drive of the PHY chip, and then controls the communication module to enter a sleep state through the sleep wake-up module, and cuts off the power of the PHY chip.
Optionally, aiming at the problem that the static power consumption of the external PCIe PHY chip is relatively high, the upper computer controls the power supply of the PHY chip through a power interface. When data transmission is needed, power is supplied to the PHY chip in advance; and when data transmission is not needed, the PHY chip is powered off finally, so that the average power consumption of the system is reduced.
According to the communication method provided by the embodiment of the application, after the communication module is detected to send the first data, the communication module is controlled to complete the deactivation dialing operation through the configuration channel, the communication module is controlled to unload the PHY chip drive, and the communication module is controlled to enter the dormant state through the dormant awakening module to power off the PHY chip. In the technical scheme, the PHY chip is powered off when data communication is not needed, so that the power consumption of the PHY chip is reduced.
Based on the foregoing embodiments, fig. 3 is a second schematic flow chart of the communication method according to the embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 3, after the above step 22, the communication method may further include the steps of:
and step 31, responding to a second data transmission request of the user, and controlling the communication module to release the dormant state through the dormant wakeup module.
Wherein the second data transmission request is received later than the first data transmission request.
In this step, after the first data is sent by the communication module, the user needs to send new data to the wireless communication network through the upper computer, and at this time, the upper computer wakes up the communication module from the sleep state through the sleep wake-up module.
In this process, the PCIe bus has synchronously completed the scanning process of the PHY chip that may exist, but when the PHY chip is not powered up, the PHY chip cannot be scanned, and the PHY chip is not assigned with a device number, and then, when the PHY chip is powered up and the driver is reloaded, the normal loading process cannot be completed. The above-described problem can be solved by forcing the addition of a PCIe bus scan between powering up and loading the drivers to the PHY chip.
Step 32, powering up the PHY chip.
In this step, after the communication module releases the sleep state and enters the active state, the upper computer supplies power to the PHY chip by controlling the power interface, i.e. the PHY chip is powered on.
Optionally, the upper computer provides power to the power interface of the PHY chip through the power interface of the upper computer, so as to realize power-on of the PHY chip.
And 33, controlling the communication module to load the PHY chip driver.
In this step, the upper computer controls the communication module by configuring the channel, so that the communication module loads the PHY chip driver.
Prior to this step, the upper computer also controls the PCIe bus to scan the PHY chip.
That is, between powering up the PHY chip and loading the PHY driver, the execution of PCIe bus scan is re-triggered once again to avoid situations where the PHY chip driver may not be loaded effectively.
Optionally, in order to ensure that the PHY chip driver is loaded successfully, that is, a method of properly re-triggering PCIe bus enumeration is adopted, which involves adjusting a part of the driver architecture, and overall planning is required for operations of the communication module sleep wakeup module and the PHY chip.
And step 34, the communication module is controlled to send the second data through the data channel.
In this step, after each device of the communication system works normally, the upper computer sends the second data to the communication module through the data channel between the upper computer and the PHY chip and the data and configuration channel between the PHY chip and the communication module, and the communication module sends the second data to the wireless communication network, so as to complete new data sending.
Furthermore, aiming at the problem that the data path between the upper computer and the network server (wireless communication network) is not connected after the communication module wakes up, powers up the PHY chip and reloads the PHY chip driver, the core point is that:
in the whole low-power consumption processing flow, the communication module and the PHY chip are required to be uniformly managed, and the communication module and the PHY chip are strictly carried out according to a certain order and operation steps, so that the situation that a network data channel is not smooth is avoided.
According to the communication method provided by the embodiment of the application, the communication module is controlled to release the dormant state through the dormant wakeup module in response to the second data sending request of the user, the PHY chip is electrified, the communication module is controlled to load the PHY chip drive, and the communication module is controlled to send second data through the data channel.
On the basis of the above embodiment, fig. 4 is a schematic flow chart of a communication method according to the embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 4, the communication method may further include the steps of:
step 1, powering up and starting a communication system;
step 2, waiting for the communication module to reside in the network;
after the communication module successfully resides in the network, executing the step 3;
and if the step is not successfully executed, waiting for successful network residence.
Step 3, powering up the PHY chip;
step 4, PCIe bus scans PHY chip;
step 5, loading PHY chip drive;
step 6, the communication module completes dial-up connection with the wireless communication network;
step 7, after dialing is successful, the communication module sends data to the wireless communication network;
step 8, the communication module disconnects the dial-up connection;
step 9, unloading PHY chip drive;
step 10, the communication module enters a dormant state;
step 11, the PHY chip is powered off;
step 12, the communication system needs to send new data;
step 13, the communication module exits from the dormant state;
step 14, powering up the PHY chip;
step 15, PCIe bus scans PHY chip;
step 16, loading PHY chip drive, and jumping to step 6.
