Abstract EN
We compare the performance of three base station management schemes on three different network topologies.
In addition, we explore the effect of offloading traffic to heterogeneous femtocell layer upon energy savings taking into account the increase of base station switch-off time intervals.
Fairness between mobile operator and femtocell owners is maintained since current femtocell technologies present flat power consumption curves with respect to served traffic.
We model two different user-to-femtocell association rules in order to capture realistic and maximum gains from the heterogeneous network.
To provide accurate findings and a holistic overview of the techniques, we explore a real urban district where channel estimations and power control are modeled using deterministic algorithms.
Finally, we explore energy efficiency metrics that capture savings in the mobile network operator, the required watts per user and watts per bitrate.
It is found that the newly established pseudo distributed management scheme is the most preferable solution for practical implementations and together with the femotcell layer the network can handle dynamic load control that is regarded as the basic element of future demand response programs.
