Popis: The efficient way to save the energy in a cellular network is to turn off a base station (BS) in a low load period. Without sacrificing the user traffic demand, most of the work aimed at when to turn off a base station and to enlarge the coverage areas to cover more users. According to this, the transmission power and constant power are the primary sources of energy consumption in each base station. Based on this, the primary objective of the work is to reduce the transmission power of the enlarged cells by cooperating more BS which mainly increases the network throughput in a Long term evolution – Advanced (LTE-A) network with the peak data rate of 1 Gbps. However, dealing with backhaul traffic is an efficient way to improve energy efficiency in LTE-A network. Hence, this paper addresses the backhaul traffic with cooperating eNBs. Finally, the simulation results are compared with the Light CoMP, Heavy CoMP and Green CoMP with and without Backhaul traffic algorithm.
