1. An apparatus, including:
- a sleep-mode (SM) statistics module at a wireless base station (BS), the SM statistics module to capture and store a plurality of SM statistics associated with a mobile station (MS) in communication with the BS; and
a memory to contain a data structure associated with the SM statistics module, wherein the data structure is segmented according to a plurality of geographical sectors served by the BS and wherein the data structure is further segmented to store a plurality of records associated with the MS as the MS roams in a geographical sector of the plurality of geographical sectors.

7. A method, including:
-
at a wireless base station (BS), capturing and storing a plurality of sleep-mode (SM) statistics related to a plurality of mobile stations (MSs) associated to the BS; at the BS, receiving a sleep request message from a mobile station (MS), the MS being one of the plurality of MSs; and sending a sleep response message from the BS to the MS, wherein the sleep response message indicates at least one of a power-saving class, a sleep start time, a sleep period, a listening start time, or a listening period. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9)

10. A method, including:
-
at a wireless base station (BS), capturing and storing a plurality of sleep-mode (SM) statistics related to a plurality of mobile stations (MSs) associated to the BS, wherein the plurality of SM statistics comprises a sector subset of SM statistics, the sector subset associated with a geographical sector served by the BS and wherein the sector subset of SM statistics comprises an MS subset of SM statistics, the MS subset associated with a particular MS served by the BS; at an MS subset of a table associated with the plurality of SM statistics, writing a record comprising a connection identification (CID) number associated with the particular MS and at least one of an indicator of a start time of a sleep window associated with the CID, an indicator of a start time of a listening window associated with the CID, a number of pending wireless media access control (MAC) service data units (SDUs) associated with the CID, or a time stamp; and moving a write index pointer to a next record location in the MS subset of the table to prepare to write the next record, wherein the next record location comprises a first record location if the MS subset of the table comprises a wrap-around structure. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. An article including a machine-accessible medium having
associated information, wherein the information, when accessed, results in a machine performing: -
at a wireless base station (BS), capturing and recording a plurality of sleep-mode (SM) statistics associated with a plurality of mobile stations (MSs); at an MS subset of a table associated with the plurality of SM statistics, writing a connection identification (CID) number associated with the particular MS and at least one of an indicator of a start time of a sleep window associated with the CID, an indicator of a start time of a listening window associated with the CID, a number of pending wireless media access control (MAC) service data units (SDUs) associated with the CID, or the time stamp of the time of writing the record; and moving a write index pointer to a next record location in the MS subset of the table to prepare to write the next record, wherein the next record location comprises the first record location if the MS subset of the table comprises a wrap-around structure. - View Dependent Claims (22)
