Hello David,

I haven't thought specifically about 802.16e power consmuption, but I imagine work done in other wireless standards is applicable here too. Are you saying that power save mode is especially harder to implement in 802.16 than it is in other wireless standards? Please explain.

All:

  I have been monitoring 802.16 activities for quite some time and haven't seen much discussion on the power consumption of a mobile SS. I have seen some contributions proposing ideas trying to reduce power consumption in idle mode. However, I couldn't obtain any quantitative figures regarding SS power consumption in 802.16e. The mobile SS (powered by battery) power consumption issue can pretty much be a show stopper for 802.16e. Any hint or idea or help on this will be highly appreciated.
