The focus on cost reduction within mobile communication networks has become a key subject of attention due to its significant proportion of the overall cost utilization structure of information and communication technology (ICT). This research digs into the area of 5G networks, which include a heterogeneous mix of mega cells and small cells with a clear demarcation between data and control planes. The paper considers two categories of information or data. There are two categories of data flow or traffic: high-rate traffic for data and low-rate data congestion. Large-scale cellular base stations, or MBSs, are responsible for controlling and regulating signals in the conventional architecture for separation. In contrast, a small cell base station (SBS) controls data transmission at both low and high rates. An MBS manages control signals and- the pace of data flow within the modified separation architecture under consideration, whereas an SBS controls a high-speed data flow. An efficient energy saving method is presented to improve the cost-effectiveness of base stations (BSs). The amount of user equipment (UEs) seeking high-rate data traffic and the number of UEs present within overlapping areas that are generally covered by the considered BS and neighboring BSs are used to establish the operational state of a BS. To implement this cost-cutting method, Particle swarm optimization (PSO) finds an application to create a problem related to optimizing something and find its answer. The findings unequivocally demonstrate that the suggested energy-saving approach, as implemented within the redesigned split network design, surpasses the energy efficiency achieved by traditional energy-efficient techniques, Both of them have distinct network structures that are basic and customized. Additionally, this suggested plan significantly reduces cumulative latency, offering a highly promising strategy for enhancing overall network efficiency.

Hypertension (HTN) is one of the major global public health maladies. Equally, the impact on the incidence of hypertension in smart cities is increasing due to the abundant use of electromagnetic fields like 5G. HTN may not have any warning indications so the interconnection of its symptoms is crucial for early diagnosis and management. Thus, in order to examine a set of symptoms and how they relate to one another in HTN, the authors employed interpretive structural model (ISM). In the first stage, the authors identified a total of 18 symptoms of hypertension by review. After an interview with the expert panel, 17 additional symptoms were found in the second stage. In the third stage, expert panel members were asked to rate the symptoms with a score 1 to 4. The authors used an ISM in the fourth stage to develop a causality rulebase for the diagnosis of hypertension. Any combination of symptoms, such as 1. Dizziness followed by a) Chest pain + Palpitation + Transient chest pain after exertion /or, b) Headache + Fainting. 2. Headache followed by a) Chest pain + Palpitation + Transient chest pain after exertion /or, b) Dizziness + Fainting. 3. Fainting followed by a) Chest pain + Palpitation + Transient chest pain after exertion, /or, b) Dizziness + Headache, may be used to identify hypertension. It was discovered that the presence of nosebleed symptoms did not contribute to the hypertension diagnosis. Data analytics is a common tool used by smart cities to enhance healthcare facilities. By contributing insights into the early detection of hypertension throughout smart cities, the ISM model can support data-driven decision-making and enhance the healthcare system.

When providing an acceptable diagnosis, health terminology helps with the right usage of language to describe illnesses, ailments, and symptoms in patients. There could be serious repercussions for the healthcare industry if this specification is unclear. Uniformity in medical terminology becomes essential when discussing the integration of automation and artificial intelligence into the scenario. The International Standards Organization (ISO) states that terminologies should be formal groupings of concepts that are linguistically unconnected, with a preferred name, suitable synonyms, and links between the concepts clearly expressed for each concept. To assist decision support systems, data sharing between health information systems, epidemiological analysis, research to support health services research, administrative task management, and other activities, standard terminology should be utilized in an electronic health record (EHR). This study examines ten popular clinical terminologies, including LOINC, NDC, and SNOMED Clinical Terms (SNOMED- CT), along with their histories, purposes, kinds, and structures. They also consist of CDT, CPT, RxNorm, HCPCS-Level II, and ICD-10, as well as ICD-10-CM, ICD-10-PCS, and ICD-10. Each criterion's advantages and disadvantages will be considered in this investigation. A comparative analysis is conducted by analyzing multiple terminologies to identify the advantages and disadvantages of each one separately.
