Abstract

With the adaptation of 5G Heterogeneous Network (HetNet) into Industry 4.0, the efficiency and speed of data transfer will increase in an impressive manner providing real-time information. 5G HetNet represents a promising solution for next generation wireless networks, where many of small cell network or low power nodes, Small Cell Networks (SCN) are planted to support the exiting Macro-cell networks (BS) to reduce the power consumption of signal transmit and wider the coverage networking. Besides, it is able to enhance the Quality of Service (QoS) and spectral efficiency compare to traditional network which depends on the Macro-cells only. However, an increasing number of active mobile users increase the demand of Small Cell Network (SCN). Thus, pose a challenge in an increasing power consumption of the SCN in 5G HetNet systems. The present study proposes to solve this problem by designing a mathematical model that able to compute an optimum number of active SCN without degrading the QoS. Simulation results indicate that different traffic load have a significant impact on power consumption of 5G HetNet.
