Abstract: Due to the increasing demand of wireless communication, the number of radio base stations has been growing excessively. The wireless network is designed for maximum traffic load, but the traffic load is unevenly distributed resulting in wastage of energy consumption most of the time during low traffic. Traditional energy saving techniques like switching off certain BSs completely during low traffic, creates problems in restoring to optimum capacity when traffic increases. There is the potential of saving energy consumption along with maintaining the quality of service and resulting environmental impact by introducing dynamic transmitter shutdown technique.
