Multi-Radio Power Management (1)

• Purpose: Enhance the user experience by extending the battery operating life of multi-radio mobile devices.

• Scope: Define mechanisms to reduce power consumption of multi-radio mobile devices based on IEEE 802.21 services.

• Not in Scope: Enhancements to the MAC/PHY of individual access technologies for making them more power efficient are outside the scope of this project.

Multi-Radio Power Management (2)

• Enables to put inaccessible or unused radios into lower power states (Off or Deep-sleep)

• Enables to activate the deactivated radios when required• Within coverage area, application requirement, network

capacity

• Enables to select best radio and its corresponding power state for an application service

• Enables to minimize the time in accessing the network when activating a radio

• Acquiring configuration parameters to access the network in advance
