Energy saving technique and measurement in green wireless communication

In this paper, an algorithm of dynamic transmitter shut down technique during low traffic is proposed. The algorithm depends on automatically switching off unnecessary transmitter when the traffic is low and switching on the required transmitter when the traffic starts to increase. With this technique, base stations dynamically adjust the number of transmitters to be enabled based on the user traffic and required channels without compromising the service quality. The measured results revealed that the proposed model reduces the energy consumption of base stations by up to 18.8% as compared with the traditional static BSs, which is a step forward towards the implementation of green wireless communication.
