During low traffic hours, switching off base stations is an effective way of saving energy in mobile communication networks. To serve increased traffic and to fulfill large and high-speed data demands, operators are deploying more base stations. This leads to more energy consumption in the mobile communication network. Therefore, minimizing energy consumption in mobile communication has become a primary concern. In a communication system, the maximum energy is consumed at the base stations. Hence, by switching off some of the base stations during low traffic hours, energy can be saved. In this work, we developed static and dynamic base station switch-off methods to minimize energy consumption during low-traffic conditions. Using these base-station switch-off methods, we are able to reduce the power use by 12.63%, 10.81% and 12.66% for the three different traffic scenarios.
