5G Energy Modeling and Power Saving Schemes in ns-3
We have developed a comprehensive framework for UE RRC state-based energy modeling and power-saving schemes in the ns-3 network simulator. Our study evaluates 3GPP power-saving mechanisms, including connected-mode Discontinuous Reception (cDRX) and RRC INACTIVE state, to enhance UE energy efficiency in 5G mmWave networks. Additionally, we introduced SmartMME, an intelligent Base Station switching ON/OFF strategy, to further optimize network power consumption.
Key Features
- UE Energy Modeling: Implementation of RRC state-based power management to reduce battery drain.
- BS Power Optimization: Development of SmartMME, a Base Station switching ON/OFF strategy.
- Power-Saving Features: Integration of Discontinuous Reception (cDRX) & RRC INACTIVE state.
- ns-3 Simulation: Testing and validation based on 3GPP standards.
