Abstract

It is presented 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 comprises the steps of: obtaining traffic types for each one of a plurality of traffic flows to or from a wireless terminal, resulting in a present combination of traffic types; finding, in a power state parameter repository, a first match between the present combination of traffic types and a combination of traffic types associated with a first set of power state parameters; and when the first match is found, transmitting the first set of power state parameters to the wireless terminal. A corresponding network device, computer program and computer program product are also presented.
