Overview

1.3 Basic AT Command Processing Principles

1.3.1 Ports

The ME909u-521 module provides three ports to interact with its host:



MODEM port: simulated using USB, for AT command interaction and establishing data connection.

Port name: HUAWEI Mobile Connect-3G Modem



PCUI port: simulated using USB, for AT command interaction only. Port name: HUAWEI Mobile Connect-3G PCUI Interface



ECM port: simulated using USB, for establishing communication connection. Port name: CDC Ethernet Control Model (ECM)

The ME909u-521 also provides a port for debugging:



DIAG port: Simulated using USB, for DIAG (diagnostic) command interaction (mainly used to debug modules at present).

Port name: HUAWEI Mobile Connect-3G Application Interface

A host controls a module using AT commands. If AT commands are unavailable, a module can be deemed as unavailable.

1.3.2 AT Command Processing Mechanism

A module processes AT commands from the ports (MODEM, PCUI) in series. An AT command can be processed when and only when the previous AT command processing has been completed. If the module is processing an AT command, a new AT command from the same port will be ignored and other commands from other ports will be buffered until the current AT command is processed.

This rule also applies to COM ports converted from USB ports. The processing of an AT command starts when the AT command is entered from the

TE, and ends when the UE (the module) returns all the results in response the command.

Some commands can be executed when SIM card is inserted. It would return to SIM failure if SIM card is not inserted. For more information, see Property Description of related AT in HUAWEI ME909u-521 LTE LGA Module AT Command Interface Specification.

Example: AT+CREG? +CME ERROR: SIM failure

Note:

SIM failure indicate that SIM card is not inserted.

1.3.3 Recommended Timeout Mechanism for AT Commands Processed by a Host

A module processes AT commands in series. Do not send another AT command before the result for the current command is returned or the current command times out (except when the current command is an abortive AT command). The following table lists AT command timeout durations (starting from the time when an AT command arrives at a port).

Table 1-1 AT command timeout duration

After an AT command times out, it is recommended that the host check whether the module is functioning normally. The following procedure is provided for your reference:

1. The host sends AT to the module.

HUAWEI ME909u-521 LTE LGA Module Application Guide

Overview

Issue 01 (2013-07-05)

Huawei Proprietary and Confidential

2. If the module returns failure information, go to step 5.

3. If the module returns success information, the module is functioning normally.

4. If the host times out (the host waits for a response for over 30 seconds) three times when waiting for the response from the module, go to step 5. Otherwise go to step 1.

5. The host deems that the current module does not exist or is unavailable. Close the port, stop sending all AT commands, exit the procedure to determine whether the module is normal, and re-search for modules.

8 Sleeping and Waking Up Application

Scenarios

As an embedded component in the host, the module also consumes power, which increases the power consumption of the integrated product. Therefore, the most important task of power management is to reduce the power consumption of the integrated product by enabling the module's sleep mode when necessary.

The host and the module need to wake each other up from sleep if communication is required. Therefore, another task of power management is to provide a wake-up control mechanism for the host and module.

Power management involves three parts: the host system software (including the USB driver/UART driver/GPIO driver/sleep mechanism functions), connection hardware between the host and module, and the module's software wake-up mechanism.

This chapter is mainly concerned with the module's software wakeup mechanism, including the wake-up principle, how USB related events impact on the waking up of the module and remotely waking up the module, and how the module remotely wakes up the host.

This chapter briefly describes the power management related connection hardware between the host and module.

This chapter does not describe the host system software. For example, if the host runs on a Windows or Mac system, Huawei will provide a USB driver program corresponding to the module. If the host runs on an Android system, Huawei will provide HUAWEI Module Android RIL Integration Guide for users to configure the USB-based wakeup function of the module. If the host runs on a Linux system, power management is supported only when the Linux Kernel version is 2.6.35 or later.

This document describes typical module application scenarios. A host can be designed based on the actual system features and the application scenarios of the module to reduce power consumption of both the module and integrated product.

After the host is designed as recommended by this document, the module's power consumption and the whole unit's power consumption can meet the performance requirements. For details, see related description in the product manual.

When the pin carries a high-level voltage, the states of the module are as follows:

The module will be prohibited to enter sleep mode if the module is awake.

The module will be woken up if the module is in sleep mode.

When the pin carries a low-level voltage, the module is allowed to enter sleep mode. (By default, the pin is set to INPUT/PD, which is, the software detects a low-level voltage on the pin when the pin is not connected.)

8.3 Software Interfaces

8.3.1 Principle

The module runs on a multi-task software system. The sleep task is granted with the lowest priority and assigned to detect whether the module can enter sleep mode. Other tasks (such as the RF, SIM card, USB) have voting rights. They vote to decide whether the module can enter sleep mode. When no other tasks are running, the sleep task is executed. If the sleep task detects that all other tasks agree on the module's sleep, the module enters sleep mode, as shown in Figure 8-5 . At this time, the baseband chip reduces the work frequency, and the RF enters the Discontinuous Reception (DRX) mode.

For more information about the module's sleep procedure, see Figure 8-6

Note:

The module's sleep mode is different from working mode or flight mode set using the AT+CFUN command. The RF will be turned off when the module enters LPM mode using the command AT+CFUN=0 while the RF will enter DRX mode without being turned off when the module is in sleep mode. For more details, refer to HUAWEI ME909u-521 LTE LGA Module AT

Command Interface Specification.

The module enters sleep mode automatically when the sleep task detects that all other tasks agree on the module's sleep. The sleep period of the module depends on the current working state and circumstance. The period may last for several seconds, or up to several minutes.

Figure 8-6 Sleep procedure

8.3.2 USB and Sleep

USB is an important communication channel between the module and the host. According to the USB protocol, normally a hub or a root hub periodically sends Start of Frame (SOF) data packages (one data package per ms using full-speed USB and one package per 125 µs using high-speed USB). Through this mechanism, USB always votes to stop the module from entering sleep mode.

When the USB driver provided by Huawei detects that the module and the host have not exchanged data in 5 seconds, the USB driver will enable the port's suspend feature, stopping SOF data packages being sent and suspending the USB controller. This enables the USB to vote to agree the module's sleep.

Sleeping and Waking Up Application Scenarios

Issue 01 (2013-07-05)

Huawei Proprietary and Confidential

Note:

If the USB driver used is developed by users or is integrated with external application, ensure that the USB driver supports the USB suspend features (including selective suspend and global suspend, as defined in the USB standard.)

8.3.3 UART and Sleep

UART is an important communication channel between the module and the host. If the host uses UART (a TTL level Interface), it can connect to the module's UART directly. If the host uses RS232, it can connect to the module's UART through a conversion chip such as MAX232.

Note:

If the module is in sleep state, the host send data to module only by UART that can’t wakeup the module. It must be used with WAKEUP_IN pin.

8.3.4 Module Wake-up

RF periodically wakes up the module based on the DRX cycle (depending on the actual configuration of the network system), as shown in Figure 8-5 .

Other aperiodic events include:

1. The host sends data using USB or pulls WAKEUP_IN up.

2. Changes on the network, for example, an incoming call, an incoming text message, a signal change, a network working mode change, a network search, an IP data package (when a dial-up network connection is set up).

3. Software system events such as a timer

4. Abnormal events, for example, an antenna drops or a SIM card becomes loose.

8.3.5 Host Woken up by Module

Wake-up Source

A wake-up source is a module event that can wake up the host, for example, an incoming voice call, a text message, data (PPP data, TCP/UDP data from the network), and unsolicited messages.

Remotely Waking up the Host Using USB

When the host is in sleep mode and the USB controller is in suspended mode, if the module needs to send data to the host (for example, a wake-up source has arrived), the module sends a remote wake-up signal that lasts 3 ms to inform the host to start USB resume (as shown in Figure 8-7 ). To complete the procedure, the following conditions must be met:

1. The USB controller on the host supports USB remote wake-up and can wake up the host.

3. When the host receives the remote wake-up signal from the module, the host needs to send a full speed K signal that lasts at least 20 ms. When the USB controller resumes, the host must send the SOF token within 3 ms from the startup of the idle state. Otherwise, the module enters suspended mode again, as shown in Figure 8-7 .
