E2CA-SM: AN ENERGY-EFFICIENT CHANNELALLOCATION WITH SLEEP MODE FOR BASE STATION INFIFTH-GENERATION-BASED CELLULAR NETWORKSYSTEMS

Abstract

In today's world, power is one of the resources that needs effective utilisation similar to the bandwidth utilisation. Asthe battery life of the nodes in the cellular networks is not a problem, there is not much extensive research toward energyconsumption in the cellular networks. Nevertheless, currently the focus is toward conserving the power being utilised by variouscomponents in the cellular network. Hence, an energy-efficient channel allocation (E2CA) procedure for cellular networks withfifth-generation network characteristics is proposed in this study, where the energy consumption is reduced with the concept ofsleep mode for base station (E2CA-SM). The SM is more popular in sensor networks when compared with cellular networks.The proposed E2CA-SM algorithm shows low-energy consumption during peak and non-peak hours of cellular traffic. It isshown that the energy consumption per packet is 35.5% less when compared with multi-traffic, with queue, learning automata-based reservation, 32% when compared with E2CA. The system is modelled using single-dimension Markov's model. There willbe a trade-off between blocking, dropping probability, and energy consumption, which is tackled in this study.
