An Accurate Measurement-Based Power Consumption Model for LTE Uplink Transmissions

Abstract—In this poster the results of an accurate, measurement-based power consumption profiling of Long Term Evolution (LTE) User Equipment (UE) are presented together with concrete model parameter sets for four different most recent LTE data sticks and one LTE smart phone. In contrast to existing power consumption models for cellular devices, the model presented in this poster allows for a precise quantification of energy supply requirements depending on the LTE uplink data transmission power, the device type and the carrier frequency. This knowledge can be for example applied for the suitable dimensioning of batteries and energy harvesting devices in the context of LTE-based wireless sensor networks. I
