Abstract
Dual-mode terminals (DMTs) equipped with cellular and WLAN interfaces have become popular in recent years. Users of DMTs can enjoy high-speed WLAN Internet access and wide area Internet access to cellular networks. However, a DMT may consume power inefficiently when discovering a WLANwith inherently limited service coverage. In this letter, we propose to use smart WLAN discovery (SWD) to minimize thepower consumption required for WLAN discovery. To minimize the power consumption of a DMT, an SWD DMT activates its WLAN interface only when the DMT transfers data within the WLAN coverage area. The simulation results of SWD show an improved power-saving performance compared to previousWLAN discovery schemes. © 2013 ETRI.
