Abstract
This research work presents a power control mechanism developed for ProSe-enabled sensors so that the sensors can be smoothly integrated into the fifth generation (5G) of mobile networks. It is strongly anticipated that 5G networks will provide an enabling environment for the 21st century innovations like the internet of things (IoT). Sensors are pivotal in IoT. The proposed power control mechanism involves an open loop power control (OLPC) mechanism that a ProSe-enabled sensor has to use to establish communication with a base station (BS) and a closed loop power control (CLPC) the BS then has use to establish transmit power levels for devices to be involved in a device to device (D2D) communication depending on the prevailing channel conditions. The results obtained demonstrate that the developed scheme does not adversely affect the quality of service (QoS) of a 5G mobile network.
