This webinar focuses on user equipment (UE) power saving techniques introduced by 3GPP Releases 16 and 17 and how to measure the battery lifetime of 5G devices. Since the beginning of mobile communication, UE power consumption has been a key performance indicator (KPI). UE power consumption converts directly to battery lifetime, which extends to user experience and 5G device usability. Every generation of phones and mobile communication standards have added new services, more computing power and larger displays – all of which increase UE power consumption. To address this, every 3GPP release also introduces new sophisticated techniques to reduce UE power consumption. This usually entails finding a balance between power consumption and power throughput and/or latency.
