Energy-Efficient Mechanism for Smart Communication in Cellular Networks

Abstract

Internet-of-things (IoT) is gaining popularity in recent times. Cellular network can be an appropriate solution for the IoT connectivity. With the exponential increase in the number of connected IoT devices, energy consumption is a bottleneck for wireless connectivity solutions. In this work, we proposed a scheme to decrease the power consumption of a base station of a cell. The maximum power consumption of a base station is associated with its data processing, routing, and transmission. Our scheme reduce the size of the transmission data which ultimately reduce the power consumption associated with it. Multiple data reduction techniques have been used for this purpose. System level simulations show the efficiency of our proposed system.
