DOT11_POWER_MODE enumeration (windot11.h)
Important
WiFiCx is the new Wi-Fi driver model released in Windows 11. We recommend that you use WiFiCx to take advantage of the latest features. The WDI driver model is now in maintenance mode and will only receive high priority fixes.
The DOT11_POWER_MODE enumeration defines a power management mode for the PHY on the 802.11 station.
Syntax
typedef enum _DOT11_POWER_MODE {
dot11_power_mode_unknown = 0,
dot11_power_mode_active = 1,
dot11_power_mode_powersave = 2
} DOT11_POWER_MODE, *PDOT11_POWER_MODE;
Constants
dot11_power_mode_unknownSpecifies an undefined or uninitialized power mode. |
dot11_power_mode_activeSpecifies an active power mode in which the PHY is always turned on. |
dot11_power_mode_powersaveSpecifies a power-save mode in which the PHY is periodically turned off. |
Remarks
An 802.11 station advertises its power management mode through the Power Management subfield of the Frame Control field in the 802.11 MAC header of transmitted frames. For more information about the Power Management subfield, refer to Clause 8.2.4.1.7 of the IEEE 802.11-2012 standard.
