Abstract
A mobile device may run energy consuming multimedia applications, such as video streaming. Thus, power management is an important issue in mobile devices. In this paper, we propose a QoS-guaranteed energy-efficient packet scheduling algorithm for IEEE 802.16-2009 (WiMax) network interfaces. The integration of packet scheduling and sleep mode operation can make IEEE 802.16-2009-enabled mobile devices more energy efficient. Simulation results show that the proposed packet scheduling algorithm has 14.37% less energy consumption than the naïve algorithm, and it does not sacrifice average packet delay. The contributions of our proposed algorithm are that our algorithm is suitable for wireless environments where connections come and go rapidly and the time complexity of our algorithm is low.
