Power Saving Model for Mobile Device and Virtual Base Station in the 5G Era
Résumé
It is a critical requirement of the future 5G communication networks to provide high speed and significantly reduces the network energy consumption. The energy efficient networks along an energy saving strategy in mobile devices play a vital role in the mobile revolution. The new strategies should not only focus on wireless base station, which consumes most of the power, but also considers the other power consumption elements in the future mobile communication networks, including User Equipment (UE). In this paper, we have proposed a method that calculates the power consumption of the 5G network by considering its main elements based on current vision of 5G network infrastructure. Our proposed model uses the component based methodology that simplifies the process to take into account the different elements that consume high power. The proposed method is evaluated by considering the three UE's DRX models and Virtual Base Station (VBS) with respect different DRX timer in terms of Power Saving (PS) and delay as performance parameters.
