Dynamic power management scheme in wireless networks based on power over ethernet (POE)
First Claim
1. A method of managing power of a connection point in a wireless communication network, comprising:
- discovering a mobile node while in an idle mode;
sending, while in the idle mode, to a gateway a request to increase an amount of power that the connection point is allowed to consume to service the discovered mobile node in response to discovering the mobile node; and
receiving from the gateway a response related to the request to increase the amount of power.

Abstract
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for managing power of a connection point in a wireless communication system are provided. A connection point may discover a mobile node, send to a gateway a request to increase an amount of power that the connection point can consume to service the discovered mobile node, and receive from the gateway a response related to the request to increase the amount of power. In an aspect, a gateway receives from a first connection point a request to change an amount of power that the first connection point is allowed to consume to service a discovered mobile node, determines whether to accept the request from the first connection point, and sends a first command to increase the amount of power that the first connection point is allowed to consume to service the discovered mobile node if the request is accepted.
