Abstract
The paper investigates the queueing behavior of the sleep mode operation in IEEE 802.16e for conserving the power of an mobile station (MS) in terms of the dropping probability and the mean waiting times of packets in the base station (BS) queue. In the sleep mode, when an MS wakes up at the end of each sleep interval and there is traffic addressed to it, this is notified in the listening interval immediately following the sleep interval. Otherwise, an MS again enters the sleep mode with a sleep interval which is double the length of the previous one. We modeled this sleep mode operation as M/GI/1/N with multiple vacations whose periods depend on the previous one. Our work may be a rough guide to understanding the BS queueing behavior according to parameters such as the minimum and maximum sleep interval, the BS queue size and the arrival rate of packets at a BS.
