“…Discontinuous reception (DRX) has been used as an efficient power saving protocol at the UE in various standards like Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS), Long‐Term Evolution (LTE), and Long‐Term Evolution Advanced (LTE‐A) wireless networks . In DRX mechanism, the incoming packets are received in a discontinuous manner at the UE instead of the packets being continuously sensed and received in earlier wireless standards.…”

“…For the real‐time applications, which contribute active traffic in the UE, packets have to be received without any delay to avoid undisturbed transmission. On the other hand, for non–real‐time services like background traffic, power saving at the UE is a higher priority concern compared to delay . Thus, the issue of power saving and buffering delay at the UE must be addressed together.…”

In recent years, energy efficiency has become a major cause of concern in mobile networks. The overwhelming applications and services provided by the evolving fifth‐generation (5G) technologies consume a substantial amount of energy, especially at the user equipment (UE). The 3rd Generation Partnership Project has proposed discontinuous reception (DRX) as a power saving technique for the UE. The DRX protocol has been used by different generation mobile standards. In this paper, the performance of hybrid directional DRX (HD‐DRX) for 5G communication with beam searching is improved upon by augmenting intermediate single packet active states in the short and long sleep cycles for light traffic in 5G networks. The supplementary active states save power by allowing the UE to receive packets within the sleep periods up to a certain threshold without transitioning to the active state. The short bursts of packets in the light traffic are received directly through the intermediate active states without beam searching. Once the given threshold exceeds, the system functions as normal HD‐DRX for the heavy traffic without the intermediate states. The proposed model is analyzed as a semi‐Markov process with the bursty packet data traffic model. The numerical results of the proposed model show 3.1% improvement in power saving and reduction in average delay by around 2.5 s compared to the HD‐DRX. Further studies can help deep dive into operationalizing this on a mass scale.

“…Analytical models for the mean queuing delay have been considered in previously published work on DRX, however only with semi-Markov models, for example in [4]- [8]. In contrast, we consider the evolution of the system at the discrete of SubFrames (SFs) 1 , what enables the development of a Markovian model and brings a potential for a more detailed modeling of the DRX process.…”

“…In contrast, we consider the evolution of the system at the discrete of SubFrames (SFs) 1 , what enables the development of a Markovian model and brings a potential for a more detailed modeling of the DRX process. Moreover, works [4]- [7] consider the case when the User Equipment (UE) wakes up immediately during ON duration whereby the delay occurs only in sleep DRX state. We focus on the case when the UE wakes up only at the borders of DRX cycles [8], what complicates the delay analysis.…”

Energy-efficiency is a crucial requirement for future 5G radio devices. Discontinuous Reception (DRX) is a mechanism for power saving in LTE/LTE-A standard. In this letter, a method is developed to compute the mean queuing delay induced by the DRX. In contrast to existing semi-Markovian models, an approach, which combines Markov chains and regenerative processes, is proposed. 1 The SF is the LTE resource element, which has a duration of 1 ms.

Beam‐aware energy harvesting discontinuous reception in machine‐to‐machine millimeter‐wave 5G communications

Machine-to-machine (M2M) communication interconnects a large number of machines to exchange information in a network. These battery operated devices exhaust their energy after continuous usage for a long period of time. Discontinuous reception (DRX) standardized by the third generation partnership project (3GPP) is an efficient power saving protocol used in wireless networks. The power saving achieved by the DRX mechanism is often compromised with the ensuing buffering delay suffered by the packets. DRX mechanism with energy harvesting improves the performance of the M2M devices by exploiting the extra sleep cycles yielded by the harvested energy. However, the operation of the energy harvesting-DRX (EH-DRX) in the fifth generation (5G) millimeter-wave (mm-wave) systems with beamforming results in poor performance metrics. Beamforming is used in 5G mm-wave networks for a base station to communicate with a group of devices situated in a particular direction. In this paper, an analytical model is devised by merging a beam-aware mechanism with the EH-DRX in the M2M mm-wave 5G networks to improve the energy efficiency. As a result, the power saving at the user equipment (UE)/M2M device is enhanced by 16% by the proposed method compared with the original EH-DRX mechanism.
