Abstract

In addition to higher data rates and lower latency the 5G Radio Access Technology concepts are targeting to provide better battery life for mobile broadband and Machine Type Communication users. In this overview paper we analyze how microsleep, Discontinuous Reception and Transmission, and a wake-up receiver concept can be combined to enhance the battery life of 5G mobile terminals. Due to the short and pipelined 5G frame structure microsleep provides 20 % energy savings as compared to LTE. The Discontinuous Reception and Transmission modes also benefit from the new frame structure leading to faster connection setup and up to 80 % lower energy consumption depending on the traffic type. Finally we estimate that the wake-up receiver concept, when adapted to scheduled and cellular communication, can provide 90 % lower energy consumption and ensure a predictable and consistent latency.
