摘要

Small cell networks (SCNs) are widely considered as a promising solution for future cellular deployments. Lately, the benefits of small cells to improve spectrum utilization and the user quality of experience (QoE) have been well documented. In addition, the power consumption of current deployments, for instance due to idle power and cooling equipment, is a major concern for operators. Small cells offer the opportunity for more dynamic power management of base stations, due to coverage overlaps and larger spatio-temporal load fluctuations. Yet, such power management decisions (e.g. turning off a base station) should not lead to excessive performance degradation for users associated with it or additional power consumption. This tradeoff becomes significantly more challenging to evaluate in future networks, due to the diversity of services offered to users beyond the traditional voice calls, as well as the complexity of traffic scheduling algorithms. The goal of this paper is to make a first step towards an analytical investigation of this tradeoff. To this end, we propose a number of QoE constraints that a power management decision should consider, and analytically relate them to key parameters such as user traffic mix, cell load, user density, etc. We then use this framework to perform a preliminary study of the potential energy savings an operator could achieve, while guaranteeing the satisfaction of these constraints. Our results provide some qualitative and quantitative insights on the interesting tradeoff between switch-off duration and number of small cells one can safely switch off.
