Title
Energy Efficient Multi-Layer Femtocell Networks
Abstract
In this paper, we present an energy efficient routing algorithm for multi-layer femtocell networks. We consider a four-layered architecture that consists users, femtocells, relays, and macro base stations. The traffic to/from users passes through this architecture and is aggregated from/to the Internet through gateways in the relay layer. The traffic demand from users changes from time to time, so that some relays can be put into sleep mode in non-peak time to save energy. We propose a simple and effective routing algorithm to decide routes and active relays, to satisfy user traffic demand and save energy. Simulation results show that our proposed method outperforms benchmark schemes.
