Power consumption

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

Cool, that was a good test, thanks for sharing.

Regarding the nokia forum wiki, we've also just found this wiki few
weeks ago, however we haven't tried this. Moreover, it seems that the
wiki talks about a 'real' VoIP activity, i.e: intensively sending &
receiving voice/video packets, while your test seems about 'connecting
only' to access point without such intensive activity. So, it's rather
a different context.

However, it would be great if you would like to do some more tests
based on the wiki, to compare power consumption of a voice call
between with and without 'wiki patch'. You could apply the patch to
function pj_sock_socket() in file pjlib/src/pj/sock_symbian.cpp, e.g:
after rSock.Open, put 'the patch'
rSock.SetOpt( KSoIpTOS, KProtocolInetIp, 0xE0 );

Btw, please also notice (the last part of the wiki): U-APSD power save
scheme will be enabled, provided that it is supported also by the WLAN
access point.

Regards,
nanang
