Energy Dissipation Model for 4G and WLAN Networks in Smart Phones

Abstract

Abstract-With the modernization of the telecommunication standards, there has been considerable evolution of various technologies to assist cost effective communication. In this regard, the fourth generation communication services or commonly known as 4G mobile networks have penetrated almost every part of the world to offer faster and seamless data connectivity. However, such services come at the cost of energy drained from the smart phone supporting 4G services. This paper presents an algorithm that is capable of evaluating the actual amount of energy being dissipated while using next generation mobile networks. The study also performs a comparative analysis of energy dissipation of 4G networks with other wireless local area networks to understand the networks that cause more energy dissipation.
