Abstract

There is a considerable interest nowadays in improving energy efficiency of wireless telecommunications. The sleep-mode mechanism in WiMAX (IEEE 802.16) and the discontinuous reception (DRX) mechanism of LTE are prime examples of energy saving measures. Recently, Samsung proposed some modifications on the sleep-mode mechanism, scheduled to appear in the forthcoming IEEE 802.16m standard, aimed at minimizing the signaling overhead. In this work, we present a performance analysis of this proposal and clarify the differences with the standard mechanism included in IEEE 802.16e. We also propose some special algorithms aimed at reducing the computational complexity of the analysis.
