Abstract

This paper highlights the energy consumption due to handovers in wireless communication system. Ever-increasing demand for higher data rate for users of cellular networks and the energy consumption that results from the effective satisfaction of these demands leads to greater consumption of energy from such energy sources that depend on burning of greenhouse gas emitting fossil fuels for energy production. An evolved Node B or e-NB inside, as in equipment handling the radio frequencies, can be divided into two large categories (1) BaseBand Unit (2) Remote Radio Head or RRH. For the purpose of our current work, we will focus on mainly the Remote Radio Head part. A simple picturization of the evolved Node B and the User Equipment (UE) that are included in the power model has been discussed. The proposed framework for mobility management/security gateway protocol including wrong decision probability of handover evaluation following measurements’ procedure has been designed successfully. We have compared to other UL/UE power consumption. The lowest ISD has the largest power usage in resultant output.

Summary

Introduction

A seamless context-aware architecture for fourth generation wireless networks, Handoffs in fourth generation heterogeneous networks, is designed [1]. Apart from advising mobile operators to adopt inexpensive, spotless, dependable, and sustainable power sources, the telecommunication research community can provide procedures to avoid call drops by the process of avoiding wrong handovers. A lot of research studies have been proposed that aim to minimize the power loss due to handovers in wireless cellular networks. We would give a brief review of the research work that has been carried out on the topics of energy consumption related to the handover processes in wireless cellular networks. In [3], Song et al propose a vertical handover scheme that tries to minimize the power that is consumed during the handover procedure. In [4], Tayyab et al explored the measurement of power consumption in LTE networks during handover procedures
