U-APSD (WMM Power Save) Support
With this latest release, the AP-5131 now supports Unscheduled Automatic Power Save Delivery
(U-APSD), often referred to as WMM Power Save. U-APSD provides a periodic frame exchange
between a voice capable MU and the AP-5131 during a VoIP call, while legacy power management
is still utilized for typical data frame exchanges. The AP-5131 and its associated MU activate the new
U-APSD power save approach when a VoIP traffic stream is detected. The MU then buffers frames
from the voice traffic stream and sends a VoIP frame with an implicit "poll" request to its associated
AP-5131. The AP-5131 responds to the poll request with buffered VoIP stream frame(s). When a
voice-enabled MU wakes up at a designated VoIP frame interval, it sends a VoIP frame with an
implicit "poll" request to its associated AP-5131. The AP -5131 responds to the poll request with
buffered VoIP stream frame(s).
TXOPs Time ms TXOP times range from 0.2 ms (background priority) to 3 ms (video
priority) in a 802.11a network, and from 1.2 ms to 6 ms in an
802.11b/g network. The TXOP bursting capability greatly enhances
the efficiency for high data rate traffic such as streaming video
NOTE The AP-5131 ships with the U-APSD feature disabled by default. It is
automatically enabled when WMM is enabled for a WLAN. Thus, U-APSD
is only functional when WMM is enabled. If WMM is disabled, then
U-APSD is disabled as well.
