Abstract:
The green IT (information technology) issue is one of the important issues on the network department recently. Because the wireless access point has an amount of portion of network power consumption, reducing cell size is introduced to save the wireless network power consumption. In this paper, we investigate the effects of cell size in terms of total base station power consumption, handover rate, user density, and outage probability. Finally, as reducing the cell size, total power consumption and outage probability are decreased. However, the handover rate increase and the number of user in a cell decrease. Since, the multicast transmission scheme is good solution to reduce the bandwidth and delivering the same contents to user, we investigate the energy resource performance based on the multicast transmission system. Finally, these analyses can be helpful for energy efficient cell planning.
