Abstract:
In conventional green cellular network, network functionalities of Base Stations (BS) for network access and data service are tightly coupled. Although this joint control and data signaling approach is reasonable for homogeneous cellular networks, it is not appropriate for heterogeneous cellular networks with small cells overlaying macro cell, and a separated control and data signaling approach was proposed in the literature, where a macro cell is mainly responsible for control signaling to provide network access and a small cell is mainly responsible for data service. Although a detailed description of user equipment state transitions was provided previously, state transitions of a macro cell BS and a small cell BS have not been covered to the best of our knowledge. In this idea paper, we propose state transition diagrams for both the macro cell BS and the small cell BS, and present a framework for power consumption analysis of green cellular networks with separated control and data BSs.
