Joint optimization of energy consumption and spectral efficiency for 5G/6G point-to-point networks
Résumé
In this paper, we address the issue of optimizing energy consumption for 5G - and upcoming 6G - small cell networks, while addressing throughput and bandwidth issues. We show that a joint optimization of energy consumption and spectral efficiency is possible in the case of a point-to-point transmission, taking into account the power consumed by the transmission and the baseband units. The impact of the variation of some system parameters on the energy consumption and spectral efficiency is thus evaluated. Particular attention is paid to the search for the optimum energy consumption and spectral efficiency for a variety of system conditions.
