Performance Modeling and Analysis of IEEE 802.11 IBSS PSM in Different Traffic Conditions

The IEEE 802.11 standard for wireless local area networks defines a power management algorithm for Independent Basic Service Set (IBSS) allowing it to save critical battery energy in low powered wireless devices. The power management algorithm for IBSS uses beacon intervals (BIs) as the time unit, where every BI consists of an Announcement Traffic Indication Message (ATIM) window and a data window. The stations that have data to send need to go through a handshaking procedure in the ATIM window. If this handshaking is successful, the station remains awake in the data window and participates in the data communication. Otherwise, it goes into the sleep mode. This paper presents an analytical model to compute the throughput, expected delay and expected power consumption in an IEEE 802.11 IBSS in power save mode (PSM) for different traffic conditions in the network. The impact of data arrival rate, network size, and size of the BI on the performance of the IEEE 802.11 DCF in PSM is also analyzed. This analysis reveals a clear trade-off among throughput, delay, and average power consumption. The trade-off analysis is useful for designing efficient power consumption algorithms while maintaining the consistence performance of the network in terms of throughput and delay.
