چکیده
The explosive development of ICT (information and communication technology) industry has emerged as one of the major sources of world energy consumption. Therefore, this paper concerns about the BS (base station) energy saving issue, for most energy consumption of the communication network comes from the BSs and the core network. Particularly, we consider dynamically turning off certain BSs when the network traffic is low. Centralized and decentralized implementations are investigated. Simulations demonstrate the energy efficiency of the proposed algorithms and the tradeoff between energy saving and coverage guarantee.

متن کاملEnergy-Saving in Wireless Sensor Networks Based on Optimization Sink Movement Control
A sensor network is made up of a large number of sensors with limited energy. Sensors collect environmental data then send them to the sink. Energy efficiency and thereby increasing the lifetime of sensor networks is important. Direct transfer of the data from each node to the central station will increase energy consumption. Previous research has shown that the organization of nodes in cluster...

In this paper, we develop a green handover protocol in two-tier OFDMA macrocell-femtocell networks. To improve the energy efficiency of femtocell base station, the proposed green handover protocol can intelligently switch on its radio communication and associated processing, or called as “wake up” from the idle mode, if the remainder data of a mobile host can be completely uploaded through the ...
متن کاملA New Energy Saving Mechanism in IEEE 802.16e/m
To extend lifetime of battery-powered mobile device before its recharging in broadband wireless access networks, power saving mechanism in MAC (medium access control) has become a significant design issue. Basically, a power saving mechanism is manipulated by adjusting operating parameters such as the minimum sleep interval (Tmin) and the maximum sleep interval (Tmax). In this paper, we propose...
