Titre : Energy Efficient Wireless Internet Accesswith Cooperative Cellular Networks
Abstract : n this talk we discuss the energy-aware cooperative managementof the cellular access networks of the operators that offer serviceover the same area, and we evaluate the amount of energy thatcan be saved by using all networks in high traffic conditions,but progressively switching off networks during the periodswhen traffic decreases, and eventually becomes so low thatthe desired quality of service can be obtained with just one network. When a network is switched off, its customers are allowed to roamover those that remain powered on. Several alternatives are studied,as regards the traffic profile, the switch-off pattern, the energycost model, and the roaming policy.Numerical results indicate that a huge amount of energy can be savedwith an energy-aware cooperative management of the networks, andsuggest that, to reduce energy consumption, and thus the costto operate the networks, new cooperative attitudes of the operatorsshould be encouraged with appropriate incentives.
