METHOD, NETWORK DEVICE, COMPUTER PROGRAM AND COMUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR DETERMINING POWER STATE PARAMETERS
First Claim
1. 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 comprising 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.

Abstract
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.

11. A network device arranged to determine 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 network device comprising:
-
a processor; and a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, causes the network device to; detect a present traffic type of a traffic flow to or from a wireless terminal; obtain, from a power state parameter repository, a set of power state parameters corresponding to a plurality of traffic types, including the present traffic type; transmit the set of power state parameters to the wireless terminal; detect a further traffic type of a traffic flow to or from the wireless terminal; and modify 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. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium 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 computer program comprising computer program code which, when run on processor of a network device, causes the network device to:
-
detect a present traffic type of a traffic flow to or from a wireless terminal; obtain, from a power state parameter repository, a set of power state parameters corresponding to a plurality of traffic types, including the present traffic type; transmit the set of power state parameters to the wireless terminal; detect a further traffic type of a traffic flow to or from the wireless terminal; and modify 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.
