Abstract

Energy efficiency is a significant requirement for the design and management of mobile networks and has recently gained substantial attention from both network operators and the research community. The general concept of energy saving management aims to match the capacity offered by operators to the actual demand at given times and geographic areas. This paper introduces the notion of energy partition, an association of powered-on and powered-off BSs to deliver network-level energy saving. It then elaborates how such concept is applied to perform energy re-configuration to flexibly re-act to load variations encouraging none or minimal extra energy consumption. A simulation-based study evaluates the performance of the proposed algorithms under different network topologies and traffic conditions, highlights the benefits and drawbacks, and provides recommendations for deployment scenarios.
