Energy Efficiency in Heterogeneous Network using Femto cells
Abstract:
This paper presents the analytical models of power consumption in macro cell, microcell,
Pico cell and Femto cell based networks. Five case studies are presented in this paper where
macro cells, microcells, Pico cells and Femto cells are deployed based on the number of
mobile customers present in a region, mobile user traffic in that region and the area of
the region where cellular network coverage has to be provided. A comparative study is
performed between the power consumption by the base stations in each of these five cases
and that of the only macro cell based network. The simulation results demonstrate that using
each of these five strategies the power consumption by the base stations can be minimized
than that of only macro cell based network. Based on the power consumption by the base
stations in these five schemes, we have categorized the networks into five classes, A, B, C, D
and E, each of which contains cells of different types to reduce power consumption to achieve
green cellular network
