Base-station switch-off with mutual repulsion in fifth-generation massive multi-input-multi-output networks.

When small cells are densely deployed in the fifth-generation cellular networks, switching off a part of base stations (BSs) is a practical approach for saving energy consumption considering the variation of traffic load. The small-cell network with the massive multi-input-multi-output system is analysed in this study due to the dense deployment and low-power consumption. On the basis ofn the BS-s...
