Abstract

Disclosed herein is a method and system for power management in a subscriber station. The method involves (a) during a communication session between a subscriber station and an access network, determining a packet inter-arrival time for data received from the access network; (b) determining whether the packet inter-arrival time indicates that the communication session is in a high-activity state or, in the alternative, indicates that the communication session is in a low-activity state; (c) if the packet inter-arrival time indicates that the communication session is in the low-activity state, then selecting a first power-saving mode for use by the subscriber station; and (d) if the packet inter-arrival time indicates that the communication session is in the high.
