Abstract
Example implementations relate to an access point (AP) that can via up from power save mode via a including Bluetooth low energy (BLE) system-on-chip (SoC) within the AP. The AP can include a power source, a power reset logic component in communication with the power source, a BLE SoC, a processor, and a non-transitory memory resource instructions executable by the processor that signals the AP is in a power save mode, receives an indication, via the BLE SoC, to wake up the AP, and wake up, via the BLE SoC, the AP in response to receiving the indication.
Claims20
An access point (AP), comprising:
- a power source;
- a power reset logic component in communication with the power source;
- and
- a bluetooth low energy (BLE) system-on-chip (SoC) in communication with the power source and the power reset logic component;
- a processor;
- and
- a memory resource storing machine readable instructions executable by the processor to:
- receive, from the power reset logic component, information that signals the AP is in a power save mode;
- receive, via the BLE SoC, an indication to wake up the AP;
- and
- wake up, via the BLE SoC, the AP in response to receiving the indication.
A method comprising:
- entering an access point (AP) into a power save mode;
- activating a timer, via a Bluetooth low energy (BLE) system-on-chip (SoC), within the AP in response to detecting the AP is in the power save mode;
- monitoring the timer to determine an elapsed period of time;
- determining, in response to the elapsed period of time, to bring the AP out of the power save mode;
- transmitting a signal, via the BLE SoC, indicating to bring the AP out of the power save mode;
- and
- waking up the AP via the BLE SoC.
A system, comprising:
- a first access point (AP) comprising:
- a first processor;
- and
- a first memory resource storing machine readable instructions executable by the first processor to:
- enter into a power save mode;
- advertise, via a bluetooth low energy (BLE) system-on-chip (SoC) within the first AP, information indicating the first AP is in the power save mode to a second AP;
- and
- the second AP comprising:
- a second processor;
- and
- a second memory resource storing machine readable instructions executable by the second processor to:
- determine a network demand associated with the second AP;
- receive the information advertised via the BLE SoC within the first AP;
- in response to the second AP being unable to meet the network demand associated with the second AP, determine to wake up the first AP from the power save mode;
- and
- send a message to the BLE SoC of the first AP to wake up the first AP.
