How to reduce power-intensive base stations?

To address the issue of power-intensive base stations, proposed a combined approach involving base station sleep and spectrum allocation. This approach aims to discover the most efficient operating state and spectrum allocation for SBS to minimize power consumption and network disturbance.

Does the proposed method have more active base stations?

The results show that the proposed method has more active base stations than the method in in all the scenarios, because this paper proposes a solution to ensures the minimum data rate for a larger number of users, resulting in a reduced number of base stations that need to be shut down.

Are base station sleep and power allocation related?

Each SBS n is considered an agent, and each agent can make decisions based on the surrounding environment to get the reward value for the next round of exploration. In this paper, the base station sleep and power allocation are two closely related mechanisms that jointly optimize the resource management of SBSs through DQN.

Are cellular base stations a future-proof power model?

Debaillie, C. Desset, and F. Louagie, “A flexible and future-proof power model for cellular base stations,” in IEEE 81st Vehicular Tech-nology Conference (VTC Spring), 2015, pp. 1–7. S.

How many operation modes can a base station have?

Chang et al. considered four operation modes of base stations to serve users with different needs and proposed a heuristic algorithm to switch as many base stations as possible to low-energy operation mode while the Quality of Service (QoS) of high-demand users is guaranteed.

What is a base station power consumption model?

In recent years, many models for base station power con-sumption have been proposed in the literature. The work in proposed a widely used power consumption model, which explicitly shows the linear relationship between the power transmitted by the BS and its consumed power.
