Abstract
In cellular networks, base station must reserve some resource for the possible handoff which affects the energy efficiency of the system. In this paper, we establish a theoretical model to maximizing the energy efficiency (EE) from the aspects of users' mobility and service duration. After analyzing the probability of handoff in service with user mobility and service characteristics, we introduce a dynamic energy efficiency (DEE) function. With the DEE function, an optimization problem under the constraint of maximal power is formulated to determine the optimal cell radius to maximize the DEE. We prove the existence of the unique optimal cell radius and propose an algorithm to solve the problem. Numerical results show the relationship between the optimal cell radius and different users' mobility and service characteristics, and indicate that the optimal radius is increasing both in the users' average velocity and in the average service duration. This work can provide a reliable theoretical basis for green design of cellular networks.
