Abstract

Our study aims to develop more energy-efficient mobile communication systems through the exploration of the 6th generation (6G) technology that is expected to be implemented in 2033. We focus on the impact of device-to-device (D2D) communication on power efficiency, which is a crucial need in this domain. To achieve this, we conducted a pioneering experiment using an in-house testbed and K-means clustering to classify locations as D2D enabled or disabled. Our findings show that there is a dynamic clustering mechanism that enables certain nodes to sustain D2D functionality around temporary base stations, resulting in a remarkable 5% improvement in network lifetime per second. This research not only enhances our understanding of 6G networks but also provides a practical methodology for optimizing energy consumption, which holds significant implications for society in advancing sustainable and efficient communication.
