Abstract
Three predictive and dynamic sleep time planning (PDSTP) energy-efficient mechanisms are proposed in this paper to simultaneously improve energy efficiency and packet delay for IEEE 802.16e. To estimate the time instant when a mobile station (MS) should wake up for receiving downlink packets, a prediction method is designed. With the predicted time instant, an MS is then allowed to sleep as much as possible using multiple maximum sleep intervals followed by a smaller sleep interval before the predicted time instant. After the predicted time instant, a few smaller sleep intervals with a trend of constant level (CL), exponential decrease (ED), or linear decrease (LD) can be further arranged. To react to the outlier of prediction, exponential increase for sleep intervals can be extended. The combination of the aforementioned designs then forms our three proposed mechanisms, namely, PDSTP-CL, PDSTP-ED, and PDSTP-LD. Via simulations, we show that PDSTP-CL not only performs better than PDSTP-ED and PDSTP-LD under general situations but also outperforms the standard sleep mode operation of the type-I power saving class (PSC-I) in IEEE 802.16e and the exponential sleep time backoff mechanism (ESTBM) in the literature in terms of energy efficiency and packet delay.
