热点WLAN AP设备能效及指标评估方法的研究

Research on Method in Measurement and Parameter of Energy Saving for WLAN Access Point

随着运营商加大WLAN热点建设力度,现网中大量AP设备的节能成为通信行业的一个重要议题。参照我国以及美国、日本、欧盟等国家和地区的现行同类产品评估体系和测试标准,对无线宽带接入网的热点AP设备的能效评估方法和指标要求进行了研究,采用时长加权的方式建立了AP能效评估的模型。另外,通过对实际设备的能耗测试,对不同形态、不同工作状态下的功耗情况进行对比分析,给出了节能的具体建议。

As the fast growing of WLAN＇s access point （AP）, reducing power consumption of large amount of AP became an important issue in telecommunication industry. Many similar products test methods and standards in power consumption area which proposed by different nations and organizations were referred. The evaluation method and requirement dictator of AP power consumption were researched. A timing weighted method was used to module the power consumption of the AP. In addition, this research method was used to test quantities equipment under different types and working status of existing network equipment, the advice of energy saving was provided.
