Telecommunications power systems have seen an increasing energy demand in the last few years, with an exponential growth of base transceiver stations, due to the development of new mobile telephony technology and the continuous evolution of mobile services. "Power saving" is one of the most important approaches to reduce energy consumption, in particular for transmission devices; it entails switching off unused channels during low traffic periods, such as nights or weekends. In this paper, a Monte Carlo simulation algorithm that implements power saving features on transmission systems has been developed and tested by using base transceiver stations with different characteristics and typologies (GSM, DCS) and with different traffic load conditions. The research outcomes concern the optimization of algorithm parameters and energy saving performances as a function of the traffic load and the BTS typology.

Abstract

Telecommunications power systems have seen an increasing energy demand in the last few years, with an exponential growth of base transceiver stations, due to the development of new mobile telephony technology and the continuous evolution of mobile services. "Power saving" is one of the most important approaches to reduce energy consumption, in particular for transmission devices; it entails switching off unused channels during low traffic periods, such as nights or weekends. In this paper, a Monte Carlo simulation algorithm that implements power saving features on transmission systems has been developed and tested by using base transceiver stations with different characteristics and typologies (GSM, DCS) and with different traffic load conditions. The research outcomes concern the optimization of algorithm parameters and energy saving performances as a function of the traffic load and the BTS typology.
