The method comprises the steps of: obtaining at least one traffic characterisation parameter; for each traffic flow, simulating a plurality of sets of power state parameters; obtaining at least one operational traffic characterisation parameter; associating the operational traffic with a selected traffic flow; finding an applicable set of power state parameters by finding a set of power state parameters with a low cost, wherein the set of power state parameters are associated with the selected traffic flow; and sending the applicable set of power state parameters to the wireless terminal in operation. A corresponding network node, computer program and computer program product are also presented. | 10-22-2015 |
20150304952 | Network Device, Method, Computer Program and Computer Program Product for Determining a Set of Power State Parameters - It is presented a method, performed by a network device, for determining a set of power state parameters at least partly defining when a wireless terminal is to be in an active state or a power saving state. The method comprises the steps of: obtaining traffic types for each one of a plurality of traffic flows to or from a wireless terminal, resulting in a present combination of traffic types; finding, in a power state parameter repository, a first match between the present combination of traffic types and a combination of traffic types associated with a first set of power state parameters; and when the first match is found, transmitting the first set of power state parameters to the wireless terminal. A corresponding network device, computer program and computer program product are also presented. | 10-22-2015 |
20150351030 | METHOD, NETWORK DEVICE, COMPUTER PROGRAM AND COMUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR DETERMINING POWER STATE PARAMETERS - A method, performed by a network device, is disclosed for determining a set of power state parameters at least partly defining when a wireless terminal is to be in an active state or a power saving state. The method includes the steps of: detecting a present traffic type of a traffic flow to or from a wireless terminal; obtaining, from a power state parameter repository, a set of power state parameters corresponding to a plurality of traffic types, including the present traffic type; transmitting the set of power state parameters to the wireless terminal; detecting a further traffic type of a traffic flow to or from the wireless terminal; and modifying the power state parameters for the wireless terminal, only when the further traffic type does not comply with at least one expected future traffic type of the plurality of traffic types. | 12-03-2015 |
