Abstract:
Energy efficient networks are becoming a hot research field. The networking community is
increasingly devoting its attention to the identification of approaches to save energy in the
networks of today. However, the networks of tomorrow will require built-in energy
efficiency capabilities; so that the new network designs should take into account the energy
efficiency issue.
Green Communication is one of the newest ideas in the communication fields. It includes
any techniques that reduce energy consumption in communication devices. The ICT
(Information and Communication Technologies) is responsible for approximately 2%
to 10% from the total power consumption in the world where the cellular communications
is the largest consumer. One of these techniques to obtain energy efficiency is based on the
activation of network resources on demand, thus avoiding power on all the resources that
are designed to serve users during peak traffic periods.
This project tries to characterize the amount of energy that can be saved by reducing the
number of active cells during low traffic periods. When some cells are switched off, radio
coverage and service provisioning handled by other active cells, so as to guarantee that
service is available over the whole area. In addition, we will check the possibility of
applying this idea through a real case study of the existing networks in
Palestine {JAWWAL & WATANIYA}.
In our project, we consider three cases which are one operator network, two operators
networks. Our results have shown a remarkable energy savings, up to 33.3% from the total
power consumption.
