| Abstract: | Traditional mobile networks have been designed with a focus mainly on coverage and capacity. This approach leads to an addition in power consumption, as networks keep expanding to keep up with increasing demand. However, in recent times with a greater importance on environmental impact, a shift to more sustainable and energy efficient technology needs to be made. One way for Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) to make a more sustainable change is to reduce the number of their operating equipment by decommissioning underutilized base stations (BSs). However, reducing the number of base stations might lead to lower coverage and lower data rates which consequently decrease user satisfaction. Therefore, it is important to design a decommissioning approach that can maintain coverage and capacity of the network even after the removal of the identified BSs. This paper presents EADA an algorithm that aims to reduce the total energy consumption of a network. |
