MAC Management Services
In this section, the most significant MAC management functions from an OFDM-WLAN standpoint such as MAC power management, synchronization, MAC session management, and data privacy are described.
Power Management
Much effort has been devoted in recent times to make portable devices more power efficient. These efforts have been in designing efficient power amplifiers, designing low-power CMOS VLSI circuits to do baseband processing as well as designing batteries with longer life. An important step in the same direction has been the development of power-save algorithms. The incentives to save power are potentially significant because true portability requires standalone operation on battery power. The power management schemes ...
