While the main concern in mobile networks was increasing network capacity and expanding coverage in the past, green operation have recently become a major concern. To conserve energy in mobile networks, we employ mobile edge computing to access real-time data and offload processing tasks to the edges for reducing complexity and latency. An edge cloud has a larger view of the network than a base station. Therefore, it can evaluate the probability of coverage by considering the density of base stations to enhance the overall system throughput while preventing coverage holes. This may enhance user experience and decrease response time in the network. We propose a density-adaptive power control algorithm that reduces energy consumption in an LTE network and improves the mean throughput. We show how power allocation and interference may affect system performance. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can reduce the energy wastage up to 67% in comparison with the basic model (without any power allocation model) and 28% in comparison with a recent work while the mean throughput can be improved by 22%.

Density-Aware, Energy- and Spectrum-Efficient Small Cell Scheduling
Mollahasani, Shahram; Onur, Ertan (2019-01-01)
Future mobile networks have to be densified by employing small cells to handle the upsurge in traffic load. Although the amount of energy each small cell consumes is low, the total energy consumption of a large-scale network may be enormous. To enhance energy efficiency, we have to adapt the number of active base stations to the offered traffic load. Deactivating base stations may cause coverage holes, degrade the quality of service and throughput while redundant base stations waste energy. That is why we h...

Hakyemez, Serkan Ender; Schmidt, Şenan Ece; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007)
In recent years the need for multimedia packet data services in wireless networks has grown rapidly. To overcome that need third generation (3G) mobile services have been proposed. The fast growing demands multimedia services in 3G services brought the need for higher capacity. As a result of this, the improvement on throughput, traffic serving performance has become necessary in 3G systems. Code division multiple access (CDMA) technique is one of the most important 3G wireless mobile techniques that has be...

5G technology is considered to bring dramatic improvements from the large scale data transmission to latency, from reliable data trasmission to energy efficiency. One significant improvement is expected in the communication rates between the mobile users at cell edges. Device-to-device (D2D) communication is an important technique to meet the higher data rates between the mobile users at cell edges compared to standard base station communication. In this paper, important decrease in the outage probability i...
Dynamic Resource Management in Next Generation Networks with Dense User Traffic
Aslan, Aysun; Bal Bozkurt, Gülce; Toker, Cenk (IEEE; 2020-12-04)
With the era of the fifth generation (5G) networks, supporting all mobile service users who have different Quality of Service (QoS) requirements becomes the main challenge. To manage and satisfy the heterogeneous requirements, network slicing concept can be a solution over a common physical infrastructure. Splitting the network into slices which have different properties (e.g., bandwidth requirements, delay tolerance, user density, etc.) allows to schedule and optimize the requests under the constraint of l...
Density estimation in large-scale wireless sensor networks
Eroğlu, Alperen; Onur, Ertan; Oğuztüzün, Mehmet Halit S.; Department of Computer Engineering (2015)
Density estimation is a significant problem in large-scale wireless ad-hoc networks since the density drastically impacts the network performance. It is crucial to make the network adaptive in the run-time to the density changes that may not be predictable in advance. Local density estimators are required while taking run-time control decisions to improve the network performance. A wireless node may estimate the density locally by measuring the received signal strength (RSS) of packets sent by its neighbour...
