Abstract

Energy efficiency has become a paramount concern in the design and deployment of 6G networks, driven by the exponential growth of connected devices and increasing traffic demands. For domain experts grappling with dynamic device-to-device (D2D) communication scenarios, optimizing energy consumption while maintaining reliable connectivity poses a significant challenge. To address this issue, we propose a novel recurrent network technique that dynamically configures D2D communication patterns, adaptively allocating temporary base stations among network nodes to enable efficient data transmission while minimizing energy expenditure. Our simulations demonstrate substantial energy savings, extended node lifetimes, and reliable performance, with a 37% reduction in overall network energy consumption and a 65% increase in average node lifetime compared to traditional cellular communication scenarios. In conclusion, this innovative approach paves the way for sustainable and energy efficient 6G communication systems, benefiting society by reducing operational costs, minimizing environmental impact, and prolonging the usability of mobile devices.
