5g heterojen ağlarda küçük hücre baz istasyonlarının enerji verimliliği arttırımı için aktivite yönetimi algoritması

Heterogeneous networks (HetNets) are proposed in order to meet the increasing demand for next generation cellular wireless networks, but they also increase the energy consumption of the base stations. In this thesis, an activity management algorithm for improving the energy efficiency of HetNets is proposed. A smart sleep strategy is employed for the operator deployed pico base stations to enter sleep and active modes. According to that strategy, when the number of users exceeds the turn on threshold, the pico node becomes active and when the number of users drop below the turn off threshold, it goes into sleep mode. Mobile users dynamically enter and leave the cells, triggering the activation and deactivation of pico base stations. The performance of the system is examined for three different cellular network architectures: cell on edge (COE), uniformly distributed cells (UDC) and macro cell only network (MoNet). Two different user distributions are considered: uniform and hotspot. The effects of number of hotspot users and sleep energies of pico nodes on the energy efficiency are also investigated. The proposed activity management algorithm increases the energy efficiency, measured in bits/J, by 20%. The average bit rates achieved by HetNet users increase by 29% compared with the MoNet architecture. Thus, the proposed activity control algorithm increases the spectral efficiency of the network while consuming the energy more efficiently.
