The wakeup and sleep commands need to be sent to the WILC chip only
when it is in power save mode (PSM, as controlled by "iw dev wlan0 set
power_save on/off"). The commands are relatively costly, so it pays
to skip them when possible.
iperf3 without this patch (no significant different with PSM on/off):
TX 0.00-120.01 sec 140 MBytes 9.82 Mbits/sec
RX 0.00-120.69 sec 283 MBytes 19.6 Mbits/sec
with this patch applied:
PSM off (TX is 46% improved, RX slightly improved; may not be significant):
TX 0.00-120.00 sec 206 MBytes 14.4 Mbits/sec
RX 0.00-120.48 sec 322 MBytes 22.4 Mbits/sec
PSM on (no significant change):
TX 0.00-120.00 sec 140 MBytes 9.78 Mbits/sec
RX 0.00-120.08 sec 257 MBytes 18.0 Mbits/sec
