DYNAMIC SMALL CELL MANAGEMENT TO OPTIMIZE THE ENERGY CONSUMPTION OF A NETWORK BASED ON TRAFFIC

摘要

The method involves selecting a small cell (100) adapted to cover a priority terminal to which data packet having a maximal priority level is addressed. A group to be transmitted from the packet having a lower priority level than the maximal level and addressed to a non-priority terminal, present in the small cell, and/or addressed to the priority terminal, is determined. The priority and/or the non-priority terminals are connected to a base station (110) of an active small cell. The data packet of the group to be transmitted is routed toward the terminals. An independent claim is also included for a communication network.
