Wireless technology continues to grow, and with it the power saving techniques continues to evolve and improve. As we enter the IoT market, “Power Save Mode” will be a very important feature as the applications will require the system to operate on very low power. Understanding what issues we face today equips us to better tackle these issues tomorrow.

One of our senior and distinguished engineers, Yuji Sasaki wrote a great piece on power management in wireless systems. The article was also published in the Electronic Design News recently. The EDN Network is an electronics community for engineers, which published premier content in the field of electronics.

As the IoT (Internet of Things) market expands, battery operated devices and applications such as sensors will dictate the systems to operate at a very low power. This article gives an in depth knowledge on how the Power Save Mode (PSM) works in Wi-Fi systems, and what engineers can do to maximize battery life and the power consumption.

This article also talks about some of the issues the engineers face while implementing power save features in Wi-Fi. Some of the topics that article covers are:

• Fundamental Constraints in Wireless Communications
• “Power Save Mode”- Effects and Problems
• How Wireless Security affects Power Saving

Download the complete white paper to about the difficulty engineers face while applying power save features what are some of the techniques to solve these issues. Yuji Sasaki does a brilliant job in portraying what the future looks like as we enter the “Internet of Things” market where the ability to save power in wireless systems will be a top priority.
