A Review on Energy Optimization in Location-Based Services for 5G and IoT Networks

Fifth generation mobile technology (5G) targets to meet user demands in terms of improved capability, increased data rate, and best value of service. In order to meet these demands, the 5G technology applies massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) and device-to-device communication (D2D). Also, by making use of location-based services (LBS), it provides value-added services to the users including methods to overcome the energy depletion in the network. The authors discuss the internet of things and its potential to offer novel solutions. Media access control (MAC) sub-layer offers and channel access control mechanisms will enable various terminals or network nodes to interact in a network and prevent collisions. Here, the authors present a complete review related to developing and enabling technologies with the key focus on 5G mobile networks and supporting the growth in traffic for enabling IoT.
