Research on Energy Saving in Cellular Networks Based on Dynamic Load Balancing

Abstract:

In this paper, in order to balance the network load and make a part of the stations into the sleep mode, we adopted a load balancing scheme in relay-assisted cellular networks. In the proposed distributed algorithm, relay station only needs to exchange information with its neighboring which bases stations and makes a re-association decision by itself. So it can balance the load and decrease the call blocking probability, and then reduce the network energy consumption. According to the approach of tabu search, we can find the optimal mode combination and ensure the Qos (quality of service) which is presented.
