Abstract

The power saving capabilities of the mobile devices in broadband wireless networks constitute a challenging research topic that has attracted the attention of researchers recently, while it needs to be addressed at multiple layers. This work provides a novel analysis of the intra-frame energy conservation potentials of the IEEE 802.16e network. Specifically, the power saving capabilities of the worldwide interoperability for microwave access downlink sub-frame are thoroughly studied, employing the well-known simple packing algorithm as the mapping technique of the data requests. The accurate mathematical model, cross-validated via simulation, reveals the significant ability to conserve energy in this intra-frame fashion under different scenarios. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work providing intra-frame power-saving potentials of IEEE 802.16 networks. Additionally, this is the first study following an analytic approach.
