Abstract

A fundamental problem for dynamic network planning is how many BSs can be turned off regarding traffic load variations [1]. In this section, we study the problem in a regular single-tier network providing time-varying multi-class services [2]. We optimize the density of active BSs under a tractable regularly sleeping scheme, aiming at minimizing average network power consumption while satisfying the quality of service requirements in terms of blocking probability.

Notes

  1. 1.

    The analysis can be also applied to HetNets for intra-tier operation, by considering the network as one-tier.

  2. 2.

    The large time scale can be of per hour level, while the small time scale can be of per second or millisecond levels.

  3. 3.

    Note that the units of traffic arrival rate for the two models are different.

  4. 4.

    As all active BSs use the same transmit power, the cell size only depends on the density of active BSs instead of the absolute value of transmit power, shown as Figs. 3.3 and 3.4.

  5. 5.

    Notice that Proposition 1 applies to any sleeping schemes.
