Considering the enormous number of connected devices located in a specific direction relative to the base station, Millimeter-Wave (mmWave) communication with the beamforming technology plays a crucial role in meeting the high data transmission requirements of the devices. To achieve the requirements, it is necessary for the devices to integrate the Discontinuous Reception (DRX) mechanism with the mmWave communication. We propose a Beam-Aware DRX mechanism that is adaptive to a periodic beam pattern in mmWave communication. Compared with the original LTE DRX mechanism in mmWave communication. © 2017 IEEE.[SDGs]SDG7Energy efficiency; Millimeter wave devices; Millimeter waves; Mobile telecommunication systems; Wireless telecommunication systems; Connected Devices; Discontinuous receptions; Energy efficient; Fifth generation (5g); Machine to machine (M2M); Millimeter waves (mmwave); Mm-wave Communications; Software services; 5G mobile communication systemsconference paper10.1109/vtcfall.2017.82881562-s2.0-85045239300
