The MNs at idle mode could register after a
long period or crossing over the customized
geographic region, rather than for each handoff.

Paging architecture

Basic functional entities for paging:




Dormant Monitoring Agent (DMA) : buffer IP data
packets addressed to mobile terminals in PSM.
Tracking Agent (TA) : tracks the mobiles' location
with the granularity of a paging area
Paging Agent (PA) : coordinates the paging
procedure within a registered paging area
Paging Controller : full control the paging
procedure and implements the TA and DMA
function


Switch mobile device' s state from RxTx state to Doze state
Perform after mobile device select a AP
Mobile device inform AP about Listen Interval


Listen Interval :the amount of beacon interval a NIC remain
unreachable before listening to the next beacon
THE STANDARD IEEE802.11
POWER SAVE MODE - unicast





Mobile device in the PSM :
AP assign the mobile device’s NIC an Association
Identifier (AID)
AP listen to the packets addressed to the mobile
device
Packet buffered in AP
Traffic indication bitmap (TIM) inform mobile device
about buffer packets


TIM sent with each beacon
Mobile device sent Power Save Poll (PSP) message
to poll buffered packets
THE STANDARD IEEE802.11
POWER SAVE MODE - multicast


Multicast packets buffered at AP and forward
mobile device at regular interval (BI)
How the mobile device know when to listen
multicast packets? And how to delivery?

Energy cost : during the inter-session interval , the
time a mobile device' s NIC in RxTx state or listen
and deliver multicast packets each DTIM perio d.

To estimate the cost efficiency, we evaluate the
impact of the session interval (IS ) , multicast
traffic load (N ) , DTIM period (ρ ‧BI) to the total


Low multicast traffic , less paging delay cost.

multicast PSM queue does not introduce a major
delay
Analytical Evaluation


The active period small compare to DTIM period
Energy cost decrease with the increasing session


It' s a sub-optimal solution, but it utilized
without modify the IEEE802.11 AP
It can support initial integration and
migration scenarios toward future
mobile communication system.


An analytical evaluation of energy and
paging delay costs allows estimation of
the proposed mechanism’s efficiency,
which might be sub-optimal for high
load conditions , but appropriate to
support migration scenarios towards
future heterogeneous access mobile
communication networks.
