Abstract

In the sleep mode, a mobile subscribe station (MSS) sleeps for a sleep interval and wakes up at the end of this interval in order to check buffered packet(s) at base station (BS) destined to it. If there is no packet, the MSS increases the sleep window up to the maximum value or keeps it unchanged and sleeps again. In this paper, we study the effect of presence of multi service connections with different power saving classes (PSCs) on power consumption for IEEE 802.16e nodes while operating in the sleep mode. Using multi service connections may result in overlapping of availability and unavailability intervals and reducing the effectiveness of power saving mode of the subscriber.
