Overview

In a mobile wireless network, a transceiver has 4 states: Promiscuous receive mode, Non-Promiscuous receive mode, Idle Mode and Sleep mode. There is significant difference between these modes in terms of power consumption. This work focuses on scheduling transitions between the different power-modes. The transitions are scheduled probabilistically using the Birthday Paradox to save energy.
