ficient energy consumption adapts to the density of traffic. This is achieved through the
proper scheduling of the flows over BS in dense small cell deployment. We proposed an
energy manager, which is a part of soft-RAN architecture. The architecture includes a
switch-on/off control algorithm by scheduling flows to reduce the number of active BSs based
on traffic dynamics, which considers the quality of real-time services.
The organization of the rest of this paper is as follows. Section II presents related works
and how differently our approach is. Section III presents the proposed soft-RAN architecture
necessary for the reduction in energy consumption. Section IV deals with the energy
management scheme whiles section V presents the performance evaluation of the proposed
scheme. The summary of the contributions of this paper and conclusion are presented in
section VI.
