DRX Mechanism for Machine Type Communication (MTC) in Long Term Evolution Network (LTE): Potentials and challenges

Abstract

Discontinuous Reception (DRX) Mechanism is the power saving technique employed by the Long Time Evolutional (LTE) Network to reduce the power saving. The scheme has seen numerous improvements and tuning to enhance its performance. The Machine Type Communication (MTC) devices have characters that widely differ from the normal devices (Human Type Devices). Therefore, DRX schemes needs to be adjusted to fully accommodate MTC. In this work, a survey of MTC DRX scheme literatures is adapted depicting challenges and potential.
