Base Station Energy Efficiency Improvement for Next Generation Mobile Networks

Abstract: Abstract-As more and more Base Stations (BSs) are being deployed by mobile operators to meet the ever increasing data traffic, solutions have to be found to try and reduce BS energy consumption to make the BSs more energy efficient and to reduce the mobile networks' operational expenditure (OPEX) and carbon dioxide emissions. In this paper, a BS sleeping technology deployable in heterogeneous networks (HetNets) is proposed. The proposed scheme is validated by using extensive OMNeT++/SimuLTE simulations. From t… Show more

“…As depicted in Figure 2, the set of neighbour K is determined by forming a seven-cell cluster with the sleeping BS at the centre. This is similar to the work done by Mwashita and Odhiambo 21 except that all the seven cells are controlled by the BSC instead of the cell at the centre. This makes communication and coordination more effective.…”

“…The expected increase in greenhouse gas emissions due to the massive increase in the volume of multimedia/healthcare contents has placed the Energy Efficiency (EE) metric at the forefront in the design of 5G mobile cellular network [17][18] [19]. Given its importance, EEgain, which is the EE of renowned packet scheduling algorithm and benchmark packet scheduling algorithm is derived as in the Equation (11).…”

“…The mobile network operators face a considerable financial burden, with approximately 30% of their operational expenses (OPEX) being attributed to energy consumption [126]. Moreover, BSs predominantly rely on the electrical national power grid, which, unfortunately, is powered by methods that generate CO 2 emissions, as documented in [127]. WPT is a viable solution for overcoming these challenges.…”
