Power-Capacity-Tradeoff for Low Energy Interference Limited Cellular Networks

This paper analyzes the fundamental tradeoff between the total power consumption and the downlink capacity in an interference limited LTE network. In order to achieve significant energy savings, a re-deployment of the cell-sites is needed. The paper employs a novel power consumption and capacity tradeoff to assist the process of re-deployment and show that up to 75% energy can be saved. The implication of this paper's results has a significant impact both on commercial revenue and the environment by reducing up to 24 power plants world wide.
