8 Sleeping and Waking Up Application Scenarios

As an embedded component in the host, the module also consumes power, which increases the power consumption of the integrated product. Therefore, the most important task of power management is to reduce the power consumption of the integrated product by enabling the module's sleep mode when necessary.

The host and the module need to wake each other up from sleep if communication is required. Therefore, another task of power management is to provide a wake-up control mechanism for the host and module.

Power management involves three parts: the host system software (including the USB driver/UART driver/GPIO driver/sleep mechanism functions), connection hardware between the host and module, and the module's software wake-up mechanism.

This chapter is mainly concerned with the module's software wakeup mechanism, including the wake-up principle, how USB related events impact on the waking up of the module and remotely waking up the module, and how the module remotely wakes up the host.

This chapter briefly describes the power management related connection hardware between the host and module.

This chapter does not describe the host system software. For example, if the host runs on a Windows or Mac system, Huawei will provide a USB driver program corresponding to the module. If the host runs on an Android system, Huawei will provide HUAWEI Module Android RIL Integration Guide for users to configure the USB-based wakeup function of the module. If the host runs on a Linux system, power management is supported only when the Linux Kernel version is 2.6.35 or later.

This document describes typical module application scenarios. A host can be designed based on the actual system features and the application scenarios of the module to reduce power consumption of both the module and integrated product.

After the host is designed as recommended by this document, the module's power consumption and the whole unit's power consumption can meet the performance requirements. For details, see related description in the product manual.
