Reducing Energy Consumption in LTE with Cell DTX

Abstract: This paper discusses how energy consumption can be significantly reduced in mobile networks by introducing discontinuous transmission (DTX) on the base station side. By introducing DTX on the downlink, or cell DTX, we show that it is possible to achieve significant energy reductions in an LTE network. Cell DTX is most efficient when the traffic load is low in a cell but even when realistic traffic statistics are considered the gains are impressive. The technology potential for a metropolitan area is shown to b… Show more

“…N T RX and η P A denote the number of transceiver and power efficiency of the amplifier, respectively. It was further shown in some previous works (e.g., State-Of-The-Art (SotA) [17], Market 2014 [19], Improved DTX [20] and Future Model [21]) that the BS power consumption or supply can be approximated by linear function of the transmission power. In this work, we concentrate on the Future Model, and it is summarised in Equation (11) by:…”

“…The low (or idle) state does not coincide with a switched-off power consumption level, as operations other than pure data transmission (for example, cooling) are necessary at all times. Due to this, these devices can never be shut down, even in cases of no transmission, as the reactivation process is not immediate, thereby affecting their real-time performance (Frenger, Moberg, Malmodin, Jading, & Godor, 2011).…”

“…These features are typically implemented at the software level and potentially upgraded and introduced into the network over the lifetime of several hardware generations. These potential improvements can be achieved, for instance, by using techniques to manage discontinuous transmission time slots during device operation (Frenger et al, 2011) or by analysing the network requirements and training the network to respond dynamically, putting specific sections to sleep (Cuomo et al, 2012;Shi et al, 2013). The third and most likely option is implemented at the device level, using the most up-to-date energy-efficient equipment either for new deployment or for replacement of existing equipment once the hardware amortisation has taken place.…”

“…During a MBSFN sub-frame, the base station is switched to sleep mode and the power consumption reduced [5]. In [6], the reduction of power consumption induced by MBSFN sub-frames is studied. In [7], the power amplifier is switched on and off to save energy while maintaining the cell coverage and quality of service.…”
