Abstract
In this paper, we analyze the power consumption of a
heterogeneous cellular network employing device-to-device
(D2D) communication principles. An important part of the
power consumption in the described network is caused by
several active air interfaces. We use the recent models
of 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE) and WiFi interfaces in
analyzing the power consumption in different social-aware
scenarios. In addition, we propose and use a new model
for the 802.11n WiFi. We show that in many scenarios,
relaying over the WiFi interface instead of using LTE is
a preferred communication method, especially if the data
rate requirement is not high.
