Introduction • Energy Efficiency of Cellular Systems became a major performance metric: Increased use of cellular devices -> 𝐷𝑃 2 emission rise in cellular networks - - Information and Communications Technology is responsible for 2-10% of global energy consumption - Access stratum is responsible for 60-80% the whole cellular network energy consumption - Energy Efficiency metric: Bits/Joule should be jointly considered with spectral efficiency metric • Methods for Energy Efficient Access Networks: - Energy efficiency in Base Stations - Energy efficiency using Cooperative Base Station Schemes - Energy Efficiency using renewable energy resources - Energy efficiency via heterogonous networks - Cognitive Radio & Cooperative relaying for Energy Efficiency Our contributions • - LTE-A Downlink CoMP used jointly with traditional Cell Switch Off Schemes - Model energy & spectral efficiency of CoMP + Cell Switch Off Schemes - Use DL CoMP to serve the users in switched off cell - Demonstrate CoMP challenges: Estimation Errors + System Delays Carleton University: G.

Overview of Green Access Networks • Cell size adjustments according to traffic load fluctuations - Cells with the low traffic zoom into zero, and the neighbor cells zoom out by physical adjustments - Base stations with low Spectral Efficiency are turned off – Spectrally efficient BSs serve the users - 24- hour traffic routine is analyzed, optimum cell switch off/on periods are found - Ratio between the dynamic and the fixed power of a base station: Switch Off decision parameter 3GPP - Small Cell Switch Off Scheme [15]: Cell Switch Off Suggestion by Academia [6]: Proposal: Replace antenna tilt/Transmit power increase of active cells by DL CoMP to serve the users in the switched off cell.

CoMP + Cell Switch Off Model CoMP Transmission Set Forming: • Serving cell configures the UE for multi-point measurements for each eNB in CoMP measurement set CSI-RS enables Multi-Point Channel Estimation • • Actual measured received power from eNB n by user i at TTI t : 𝑄 𝑆𝑆 𝑜 , 𝑢 , 𝑗 = 𝑄 𝑈𝑆 𝑜 − 𝑄𝑄 𝑜 , 𝑗 − 𝑄 𝐺𝐺𝐺𝐺𝐺𝐺 𝑜 , 𝑗 , 𝑢 • • Implicit/Explicit multipoint channel feedback obtained at Serving Cell • Received feedback due to estimation error + delay: 𝑄 𝑆𝑆 _ 𝑓𝑓𝑓 𝑜 , 𝑢 , 𝑗 = 𝑄 𝑆𝑆 𝑜 , 𝑢 − ∆ , 𝑗 + 𝑄 𝑓𝑓𝑓 ( 𝜈 , 𝜏 ) • • Thresholded Decision to Form the CoMP Transmission Set: Serving Cell Power – Measured cell ≤ 3dB Time-varying CoMP Transmission Set: 𝐾𝐾 ( 𝑗 , 𝑢 ) • • Joint PDSCH transmission + Cross-point scheduling over certain time/frequency resources Note: Release-8 devices use CRS for channel estimation (8 REs over RB pair), but Rel -11 CoMP channel estimation uses CSI-RS (1 RE over RB pair per antenna port) = Multi-point channel estimation is more vulnerable to channel estimation errors due to scarce REs to track the channel using autocorrelation functions Carleton University: G.
