RE: Active and Deep Sleep [per My action item]
Title: Message
Hello 
Yogesh,
 
It 
would be important for .21 to be power savvy/sensitive. However, we can't go so 
far as to specify the PHY behavior at the level you suggest can we? There are 
other options besides off/on for many of these parameters, and they vary from 
bearer type to bearer type. An abstraction that might let a mobility management 
entity on the MN query L2.5 about the power status in a media independent way 
could be useful but we need something more specific/comprehensive to the planned 
supported radio PHYs than just off/on.
 
This 
came up in 3GPP too, where they were trying to decide if power off could trigger 
release of security associations. Then people wondered what does power off mean. 
(This is another example why it would be so good if we were working with them 
right now.)
 
BR,
Michael

management
 
Wherever applicable the 
standard shall select network scanning opportunities to coincide with scheduled 
wake times to minimize the expended power by switching 
between the power save and active modes of operations for the 
wireless media employed.
 
Power Save Mode: The state in which a 
STA's transceiver is off in order to conserve power used during the active 
mode.
Precisely,
    Transceiver: OFF 
    Internal Clocks: INACTIVE (except 
one low frequency clock)
    Peripherals: OFF
    Network Sync: 
OFF
 
Active Mode: The state in which a STA's 
transceiver is on in order to perform typical operations needed for 
operation within a wireless system.
Precisely,
 
    Transceiver: ON 
    Internal Clocks: ACTIVE 
    Peripherals: ON
    Network Sync: ON
