Target Wake Time (TWT) on nRF7002-DK is not working properly

[Tareq-M]

Hi,

I wrote an application based on the wifi-sta sample to test the Target Wake Time (TWT) feature and measure the current consumption while the nRF7002 is in sleep mode.

My test-setup consists of one nRF7002-DK operating as "Wifi-sta" and one Fritz!Box 7530 AX operating as "Wifi-AP" and a power porfiler kit II to measure the current.

A udp-server was implemented in the application so that the station receives incoming messages from a udp-client (PC) over the Wifi 6 network created by the Wifi-AP ( Fritz!Box 7530 AX ).

The station (nRF7002-DK) was able to connect to the network and receive messages from the udp client.

But when the TWT mode is activated the station (nRF7002-DK) does not receive any messages from the udp-client .

In the next photo you can see the current consumption of the nRF7002 (PPK is connected to P23 on the DK).

As you can see the nRF7002 goes to sleep for the amount of time which was set (wifi twt setup 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 150 2000) which is a good indicator but the station does not receive the messages any more form the udp-client !

When i deactivate the TWT feature by (wifi twt teardown_all) the station will be able to receive messages again from the udp cleint.

So, Why cant the station receive messages when the TWT mode is active?

I also repeated the test with different settings for the TWT like:

wifi twt setup 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 100 2000
wifi twt setup 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 1 255 2000
wifi twt setup 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 1 255 300
wifi twt setup 1 0 1 1 1 1 0 1 255 300
wifi twt setup 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 255 300
wifi twt setup 2 0 1 1 1 1 0 1 200 300

But the result is the same.

No messages were received when the TWT mode is active.

I would be very thankful if you could provide me with solutions or ideas to solve this problem!

Best regards

Hi Tareq,

Could you verify that you have correct PPK2 setup as shown in power profiling?

Have you checked if your Wi-Fi AP fully supports TWT?

Could you provide more information about your application?

Have you tried using "wifi twt teardown 0 0 x x" instead of "wifi twt teardown_all"?

Best regards,
Dejan

Hi Dejon
Thank for your reply.
I have connected the PPK2 as shown in power profiling and set the parameters of the TWT like:
wifi twt setup 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 1 65  60000


As you can see the current consumption is around 13.57µA when the nrf7002 is in sleep mode and around 79µA as average for the TWT-intervall 1min.
When i try now to send messages from the computer to the station (nrf7002 dk) via UDP the station will not receive any messages!

When i try to use "wifi twt teardown 0 0 1 1" it works. ( i mean the TWT session will be teared down)
After that when i try again to send messages from the computer to the station (nrf7002 dk) via UDP the station will receive the messages successfully without any problems.
This is shown in the next image:

So, the problem is that the station does not receive the messages when the TWT is activated! Have you checked if your Wi-Fi AP fully supports TWT?
As AP i am using the fritzbox-7590-ax https://en.avm.de/products/fritzbox/fritzbox-7590-ax/technical-specifications/
As described in the "technical-specifications" it should support the Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) protocol. I i guess that means it should support the TWT feature.

Below you can find the code of the project.

Hi Tareq,

I have reported the issue internally. I'll get back to you when I get new information, hopefully during this week or the next one.

Could you please provide the results of the other two experiments?

Best regards,
Dejan

[Tareq-M]

Hi dejans,
Thank you for your reply.

The results for the Experiment 2
1) Connect to AP : successful
2) Create Static ARP table at both devices

The command (# arp -s 192.168.0.65 00:50:ba:85:85:ca) worked on the udp-client device Laptop (ubuntu) but not on the udp-server device(nRF7002-dk). See next image:

3) Setup TWT : successful for three variants:

For: 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 100 3000

and for: 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 100 15000

and for: 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 100 10000

The results were:

For: 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 100 3000

The udp-server was able to receive some of the messages but not all of them!

See the next image:

For: 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 100 15000

The udp-server was able to receive just the second message and then no more!

For: 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 100 10000

Again the udp-server was able to receive some of the messages but not all of them until the <inf> message came. After that udp-server was not able to receive any messages.

I've also found that there's a higher chance of receiving a message if the message is sent just before the UDP-server device wakes up.

In this test the ncs v2.2.0 was used.

As Wifi 6 AP the FRITZ!Box 6690 was used.

Experiment 3:

I was not able to set the Legacy power mode on the nRF7002-dk using the ncs v2.2

See the next image:

So i tried to use the same code and the same configurations (prj.conf) in an new application created with ncs v3. The result was that i was able to set the legacy power mode but the creation of the udp socket was always not successful. I dont why is that. The creation of the udp socket with the same code work fine with the ncs v2.2.

I will be thankful if you have new information that could help solve this problem.

Best regards.

Hi Tareq,

Thank you for providing the results of your experiments. I'll get back to you when I get new information related to this issue, probably during next week.

Best regards,
Dejan

[dejans]

Hi Tareq,

We would need to investigate this issue further. Please note that looking into this issue might require longer time. I'll get back to you when I get new information. 

Best regards,
Dejan

[dejans]

Hi Tareq,

Could you provide wireless sniffer capture for all experiments?

Best regards,
Dejan

[dejans]

Hi Tareq,

Could you try using Wi-Fi Shell sample (from NCS v2.3.0) instead of STA? Please use 4 steps shown below and provide results.

1) Compile shell sample with zperf
2) Connect to AP
3) Setup TWT
4) Run UDP RX

Best regards,
Dejan

[Tareq-M]

Hi Dejan,

Thank you for your reply.

I have used the Shell sample from NCS v2.3.0 to test the TWT with UDP Server.

1) Compile shell sample with zperf: Done successfully

2) Connect to AP: Done successfully
3) Setup TWT: Done successfully with twt quick_setup 10 5000

4) Run UDP RX: Socket creation failed!

As you can see in the screenshoot the creation of the UDP-Socket always fails. 

This is the case when the NCS v2.3.0 or the NCS v2.3.0-rc. But when using the same code with the NCS v2.2 the UDP Server works fine!

Here is the code i am using for the test:

Have you tested the TWT feature with udp server on the Wi-Fi Shell sample (from NCS v2.3.0)?

Did that work successfully?

If yes, can you provide me with the code that you have used for the test ? and also with the name of the AP that you have used in your test setup.

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,

Tareq

Hi Tareq,

You set CONFIG_POSIX_API=n in your prj.conf which gives default value 4 for maximum number of open file descriptors. You could try increasing maximum number of open file descriptors CONFIG_POSIX_MAX_FDS to 16 or enabling CONFIG_POSIX_API in your prj.conf.

Best regards,
Dejan

Hi Dejan,

Thank you for your replay.

I got this Error when setting the CONFIG_POSIX_MAX_FDS = 16

I can not enable  CONFIG_POSIX_API because when i enable it i will have to disable CONFIG_NET_SOCKETS_POSIX_NAMES which will cause a lot of errors in the code!

Do you have another solution for that problem?

Have you tested the TWT feature with UDP server on the Wi-Fi Shell sample (from NCS v2.3.0)?

Did that work successfully?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Tareq,

STA sample should now work with UDP Rx and TWT. Please have a look at TWT test with STA.
