Simulation We have validated our simulation model with published simulation results performed on NS2 platform. The total simulation time is 400 sec and results are obtained by taking average value of 100 samples of traffic sequence for each arrival rate λ. Mean arrival rate λ varies from 0.05 to 1.0. One frame duration= 5ms α = 0.01, β = 4.865, listening duration L = 5ms, initial sleep duration tmin = 10ms and maximum sleep duration tmax = 160ms

Simulation Energy consumption values for waiting time threshold duration and sleep duration is taken as Eth = 280mw and Es= 10mw, respectively Furthermore, fixed waiting time threshold for existing algorithm is taken as Tth = 25ms and proposed algorithm uses minimum waiting time threshold Tth_min = 5ms and maximum waiting time threshold Tth_max = 50ms. In case- I the ratio of DL versus UL traffic is taken as R = 4 where R = λd / λu In case- II the ratio of DL versus UL traffic is taken as R = 1/4 where R = λ d / λu.

Conclusion This paper attempts to modify the existing constant waiting time threshold scheme by making it adaptive to the varying downlink and uplink traffic pattern. We observe that traffic arrival pattern is an important factor for the waiting time threshold control.
