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.)

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
