twt setup: wrong parameter count

[ChengQing Zhao]

I want to use the example of "Wi Fi: Shell" to set TWT parameters by referring to the official documentation：

https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/ncs-latest/page/nrf/protocols/wifi/station_mode/powersave.html

and blogs:

 https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/nordic/nordic-blog/b/blog/posts/target-wake-time-on-the-nrf7002-dk 

i set the command such as :

wifi twt setup 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 1 65000 524000

OR

wifi twt setup 0 0 2 2 0 1 1 1 20 60000

but  it is print "setup: wrong parameter count", as shown in log :

so, can you give me some help, thank you very much!

Hi,

 

There was a new addition to the twt command in wifi/shell, which is the last parameter:

<twt_wake_ahead_duration>: 0us-2^31us>

You can set this to '0' if you want.

 

Another tip is to use the wifi/twt sample as well for evaluation of this power saving feature.

 

Kind regards,

Håkon

Thank you H å kon Alseth for your prompt response. I have encountered a new issue again, as you provided. I added 0 at the end, but still cannot negotiate successfully.

The command comes from the blog：

 https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/nordic/nordic-blog/b/blog/posts/target-wake-time-on-the-nrf7002-dk 

The log print as:

uart:~$ > wifi twt setup 0 0 2 2 0 1 1 1 20 60000 0
wifi twt setup 0 0 2 2 0 1 1 1 20 60000 0

This means that the AP is not capable of TWT. Which access point specifically are you using? If it is wifi 6 capable, it might be that you need to enable Target Wake Time specifically in the router web UI.

 

Kind regards,

Håkon

Thank you for your prompt response, Håkon Alseth,  i think the router is support TWT, the log as follow,

and the command  "wifi twt setup 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 1 65000 524000 0" is ok

but why “wifi twt setup 0 0 2 2 0 1 1 1 20 60000 0 ” from  https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/nordic/nordic-blog/b/blog/posts/target-wake-time-on-the-nrf7002-dk 

can not set TWT.

Hi,

 

My apologies for missing this.

In previous SDK versions, the intervals were given in milliseconds, while in newer versions; it is given in microseconds for setting a more accurate resolution.

Try to send 20000 instead.

To maintain the twt_interval to 1 minute (60 seconds), the "60000" (60*1000 ms) need to be changed to 60000000.

 

Kind regards,

Håkon

Thank you Håkon Alseth, i am sorry so late to reply to you, it is run ok now, but i meet a new question, how can i run iperf  on the TWT mode and DTIM mode  by the nRF7002-DK.

As you can see the log below, there is no zperf command.
