Summary :

Adaptive Battery Conservation Management (ABCM), an effective form of power conservation for mobile terminals in an always-connected environment, was proposed and evaluated in a previous published work. The ABCM method employs three states: active, dormant, and the Battery Saving Mode (BSM). The BSM is defined as a battery-saving state; in the BSM, the mobile terminal saves power by intermittently receiving paging notifications via a paging channel between the packet bursts of a session. Two control parameters, the sleep-timer and paging interval, are set up according to packet class and are the keys to the performance of a system with this method. In real-time communications, a long sleep-timer and short paging interval are selected to minimize buffering delay. In non-real-time communications, on the other hand, a short sleep-timer and long paging interval are chosen to reduce power consumption by the mobile terminal. Our previous evaluation showed that the method is effective as a means for power conservation in non-real-time communications. In real-time communications, on the other hand, the ABCM method provides shorter buffering delays and the same battery-conservation performance as the conventional method. To further improve the ABCM method's performance, we now propose an enhanced ABCM method that employs multiple BSM sub-modes, each of which has a different paging interval. As dormant periods become longer, the mobile terminal makes transition to successive sub-modes, each of which has a longer interval than the previous one. In this paper, we evaluate the battery conservation effect of the ABCM method through theoretical analysis and computer simulation. Numerical evaluation indicates that the ABCM method will be suitable for the broadband multimedia packet-radio systems of the future.
