Abstract:

We refine existing performance studies of the WiMAX sleep mode operation to take into account uplink as well as downlink traffic. This as opposed to previous studies which neglected the influence of uplink traffic. We obtain numerically efficient procedures to compute both delay and energy efficiency characteristics. A test scenario with an Individual Subscriber Internet traffic model in both directions shows that even a small amount of uplink traffic has a profound effect on the system performance.
