Dynamic Sleep Mode for Minimizing a Femtocell Power Consumption
نویسندگان
چکیده
The use of power control (PC) and discontinuous transmission (DTx) can reduce the average power consumption of mobile base stations (BS). In this paper, the power consumption of a picocell or a femtocell are analyzed in a time division multiple access (TDMA) scenario. The minimization of the power consumption is viewed as a constrained optimization problem and a closed form of the compromise between transmit power and transmission time which minimizes the average power consumption is found. Moreover, we show that for a base station with a low transmit power and a sufficient power saving during sleep mode, such as picocells and femtocells, the average power consumption is minimum when the service time is minimized. Finally, numerical results show that discontinuous transmission greatly decreases the average power consumption of the base station.

Femtocell technology has become a radical approach to improve network capacity and coverage. Because femtocells can use the same frequency bands as the cellular network, the cochannel interference is a critical issue in femto networks. To efficiently reduce interference between femto BS and other BSs, low duty mode (LDM) operation has been developed. In this work, we construct a mechanism integ...

Power gating technique reduces leakage power in the circuit. However, power gating leads to large voltage fluctuation on the power rail during power gating mode to active mode due to the package inductance in the Printed Circuit Board. This voltage fluctuation may cause unwanted transitions in neighboring circuits. In this work, a power gating architecture is developed for minimizing power in a...
