Performance Analysis of Sleep Mode Operation for IEEE 802.16m Advanced WMAN

Abstract

We mathematically analyze a sleep mode operation proposed by Samsung for IEEE 802.16 m. The sleep mode operation for downlink traffic is modeled as a 2-dimensional Markov chain. We obtain the power consumption of a mobile station. We show that the power consumption of a mobile station decreases as the sleep cycle increases and the analytical results also match with the simulation results very well.
