Algoritmo de desactivación de estaciones base para reducir el consumo de energía en redes celulares

Smartphones have become essential devices for the daily activities that the human being performs. Its proliferation has increased the cellular infrastructure in an effort of the mobile operators to satisfy the demand. Due to the cellular network planning is performed considering the peak hour, a large number of base stations are deployed, maintaining the same number of base stations even in low traffic states. This strategy led to high levels of energy in cellular networks, affecting their operating expenditure and contributing to CO2 emissions. The present work shows a base station switching on/off algorithm to save energy in a cellular network considering the reassignment of mobile users.
