Abstract:One of the ways of achieving improved capacity in mobile cellular networks is via network densification. Even though densification increases the capacity of the network, it also leads to increased energy consumption which can be curbed by dynamically switching off some base stations (BSs) during periods of low traffic. However, dynamic cell switching has the challenge of spectrum under-utilization as the spectrum originally occupied by the BSs that are turned off remains dormant. This dormant spectrum can be l… Show more
