One of the major challenges facing the realization of cognitive radios (CRs) in future mobile and wireless communications is the issue of high energy consumption. Since future network infrastructure will host real-time services requiring immediate satisfaction, the issue of high energy consumption will hinder the full realization of CRs. This means that to offer the required quality of service (QoS) in an energy-efficient manner, resource management strategies need to allow for effective trade-offs between QoS provisioning and energy saving. To address this issue, this paper focuses on single base station (BS) management, where resource consumption efficiency is obtained by solving a dynamic resource allocation (RA) problem using bipartite matching. A deep learning (DL) predictive control scheme is used to predict the traffic load for better energy saving using a stacked auto-encoder (SAE). Considered here was a base station (BS) processor with both processor sharing (PS) and first-come-first-served (FCFS) sharing disciplines under quite general assumptions about the arrival and service processes. The workload arrivals are defined by a Markovian arrival process while the service is general. The possible impatience of customers is taken into account in terms of the required delays. In this way, the BS processor is treated as a hybrid switching system that chooses a better packet scheduling scheme between mean slowdown (MS) FCFS and MS PS. The simulation results presented in this paper indicate that the proposed predictive control scheme achieves better energy saving as the traffic load increases, and that the processing of workload using MS PS achieves substantially superior energy saving compared to MS FCFS.
