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.
