Abstract

La présente invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif permettant d'effectuer une communication à faible puissance dans un système LAN sans fil à l'aide d'un paquet de réveil. Plus particulièrement, un dispositif récepteur reçoit un paquet de réveil comprenant un préambule de réveil et une charge utile de réveil, à partir d'un dispositif émetteur. Ensuite, le paquet de réveil est transmis en étant modulé conformément à un procédé OOK. Le dispositif récepteur mesure la valeur de puissance moyenne ou de norme moyenne d'un signal reçu ayant traversé un canal par l'intermédiaire du préambule de réveil. La valeur de puissance moyenne ou de norme moyenne est mesurée uniquement en fonction d'un bit indiquant un signal provenant du préambule de réveil. Le dispositif récepteur vérifie la puissance de la charge utile de réveil en fonction d'une valeur critique. La valeur critique est définie à la moitié de la valeur de puissance moyenne ou de norme moyenne.
