Real-Time Testbed for Evaluating the Battery Consumption in 5G Mobile Networks and 5G Voice Calls Over IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS)

The contribution of this work is to deploy a measurement test workbench to analyze the battery consumption of a mobile phone considering both the 5G Standalone (SA) and 5G Non-Standalone (NSA) mobile networks. Therefore, real-time experimentations were done to evaluate accurately the battery consumption when both Voice over Long-Term Evolution (5G VoLTE) and Voice over New Radio (VoNR) voice calls over IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) are made. The configuration setup considers the usage of a high-tech Device Under Test (DUT), 5G Test Stations and a Power Monitor Tool (PMT) to precisely evaluate the battery consumption levels, as in [1].
