Introduction • Multimedia Broadcast/Multicast Service (MBMS) • It provides an efficient way to broadcast data to multiple users in cellular networks • It has been realized by third generation partnership project (3GPP)
Introduction(cntd.) • MBMS has two modes • Point to Point (PTP) • one DCH established for each UE in the Cell • Point to Multipoint (PTM) • one FACH covering the whole Cell and shared by all the UEs within
Introduction(cntd.) PtP mode using DCH PtM mode using FACH
Power Counting Mechanism • Parameters retrieval • Distance to base station • Number of users • QOS requirements • Power level computation for FACH and DCH • Transport channel with minimum power selected • Check parameters to adapt to system dynamics
Proposed Algorithm • Define ten ranges for each cell • For each range compute the power needed to cover the range using FACH • Cluster remaining nodes • Compute the power to send to cluster heads • Find the minimum power of all ranges
Proposed Algorithm (cntd.) • Cluster nodes based on • : Distance of the node to base station • : Number of nodes lying in the transmission range of the node • :The extent to which the cluster head lays in the same range related to other cluster heads.
Results • We have run power counting mechanism and our clustering algorithm • Using MATLAB as a simulation tool • Varying users population of 20 to 200 with uniform distribution • Both scenarios has been tested 1000 times • Run clustering algorithm for varying weights changing 0.1 each time
Results • For user population more than 30 , clustering algorithm will outperform current power counting mechanism as much as 20% • Increases the threshold to switch to FACHonly mode which uses high power • Current Power Counting Mechanism is 60 • Using Clustering algorithm is 140
Conclusion • We have proposed clustering algorithm based on parameters that consider base station power • Clustering decreases the number of users that should receive MBMS from base station • Cooperation of WLAN and LTE improves base station power saving as much as 20%.
Future Work • Using more power for user population less than 30 is an unresolved issue. • Using different users distribution like Gaussian to test the results. • Switching cluster heads periodically to guarantee the fairness of our approach • Using NS-3 as a network simulator to verify the results we get using MATLAB
