Abstract:
Energy consumption minimization of mobile networks is a growing concern for the research community in recent years. As networks are most of the time underutilized due to spatial and temporal traffic fluctuations, we propose an algorithm to optimally determine the operational mode of Base Stations (BS) under certain traffic load conditions to achieve overall energy efficient mobile network operation. The proposed algorithm and simulation environment are both implemented in Matlab. Simulation results show that, under all traffic loads and topology scenarios examined, our proposed scheme outperforms a previously proposed algorithm, while the results are very close to optimum.
