Abstract

Mobility with high degree of network-facility is a mandatory attribute for better QoS in cellular networks, but it leads to a huge increment in energy consumption, a significant fraction of which related to the base stations within the service area. In this paper, we are introducing a base station cooperation technique for energy efficiency in mobile communication networks, and it is based on nature-inspired computing, especially the Bee system. All serving base stations within a given geographical area will work together to provide a better network experience to the mobile subscriber. In order to achieve this, base stations will check for availability of unutilized (or underutilized) bandwidth and if it is over a certain threshold, all base stations perform a re-reunion procedure to provide a uniform distribution of the consumed bandwidth (bandwidth load), thereby providing better service to users. We have formulated the proposed technique to determine the effectiveness, efficiency and scalability of work. Further we create a simulation setup for proposed algorithm using OPNET to implement a real time cellular networks. It has been observed that results of proposed work have sufficient improvement in energy efficiency at the base station with respect to traditional schemes.
