Discontinuous reception (DRX) techniques have successfully been proposed for energy savings in 4G radio access systems, which are deployed on legacy 2GHz spectrum bands with signal features of omni-directional propagation. In upcoming 5G systems, higher frequency spectrum bands will also be utilized. Unfortunately higher frequency bands encounter more significant path loss, thus requiring directional beamforming to aggregate the radiant signal in a certain direction. We, therefore, propose a DRX scheme for multiple beam (DRXB) communication scenarios. The proposed DRXB scheme is designed to avoid unnecessary energy-and-time-consuming beam-training procedures, which enables longer sleep periods and shorter wake-up latency. We provide an analytical model to investigate the receiver-side energy efficiency and transmission latency of the proposed scheme. Through simulations, our approach is shown to have clear performance improvements over the conventional DRX scheme where beam training is conducted in each DRX cycle. |
