Wake-up radio architecture for home wireless networks

Abstract

In this paper it is presented and validated by simulation a wake-up radio receiver (WuRx), allowing to both addressing and wake-up a main radio, with best performance but more energy consuming. The main goal is to reduce the total energy consumption of a home multimedia network by switching off the data module of each equipment during the periods when it is not used. The wake-up receiver is designed to be able to detect a wake-up signal which has a frequency signature and so, it is avoided to activate all data interfaces but only the one of interest.
