Abstract

In this paper, we address the energy conservation problem with the quality of service (QoS) requirements taken into account for the physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) in LTE/LTE-Advanced networks. By jointly allocating the modulation and coding schemes (MCS), resource blocks (RB), and power, we first propose a standards-compliant QoS-oriented power control algorithm (SQPC) for realistic systems to save energy. Specifically, with an appropriate MCS allocation, the proposed algorithm can tailor the power to match the QoS requirements. However, the SQPC saves energy at the cost of RB utilization. To this end, we further devise an Enhanced SQPC algorithm (ESQPC) to strike a balance between RB allocation and energy consumption. Finally, simulation results show that the proposed algorithms have the advantage of reducing nearly half of energy consumption compared to the existing algorithm, as well as demonstrate that the ESQPC can improve RB utilization against the SQPC.
