  • The limitations of state-of-the-art cellular modems prevent achieving low-power and low-latency Machine Type Communications (MTC) based on current power saving mechanisms alone. Recently, the concept of wake-up scheme has been proposed to enhance battery lifetime of 5G devices, while reducing the buffering delay. The existing wake-up algorithms use static operational parameters that are determined by the radio access network at the start of the user’s session. In this paper, the average power consumption of the wake-up enabled MTC UE is modeled by using a semi-Markov process and then optimized through a delay-constrained optimization problem, by which the optimal wake-up cycle is obtained in closed form. Numerical results show that the proposed solution improves the power consumption of an optimized DRX scheme by up to 40% for a given delay requirement. The numerical results show that the proposed solution, as compared to an optimized discontinuous reception (DRX)-based reference scheme, can improve power consumption by up to 40% for a given delay requirement.
