Traffic demand-aware topology control for enhanced energy-efficiency of cellular networks

Abstract: The service provided by current mobile networks is not adapted to spatio-temporal fluctuations in traffic demand, but such fluctuations offer opportunities for energy savings. In particular, significant gains in energy efficiency are realizable by disengaging temporarily redundant hardware components of base stations. We therefore propose a novel optimization framework that considers both the load-dependent energy radiated by the antennas and the remaining forms of energy needed for operating the base stations… Show more

“…In principle, we could improve the rates shown here with resource management techniques that do not use the assumptions on homogeneity and uniform power. However, note that, even with the homogeneity assumption, many network optimization problems are already NP-hard [20], and principled approaches designed to handle these problems often do not scale to large networks because of the huge number of additional variables [21].…”

“…In this study, we consider a dense urban cellular base station (BS) deployment. The service area is represented by a grid of pixels, each occupying a small area which we refer to as a test point (TP) (see [1,10], and [7]). The concept of test points provides a network-layer view of qualityof-service (QoS) and large-scale channel conditions in a network.…”

“…It is assumed that if the rate requirement of each TP is met, then the QoS requirements of all users in the network are also met. Under this assumption, small-scale fluctuations in individual user rates are averaged out and are compensated by the lower layers of the protocol stack [7]. We use M = {1, 2, ..., M } and N = {1, 2, ..., N } to denote the set of BSs and TPs, respectively.…”
