DYNAMICALLY REDUCING CELL SITE COMPONENT POWER CONSUMPTION
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18623866 titled 'DYNAMICALLY REDUCING CELL SITE COMPONENT POWER CONSUMPTION
Original Abstract Submitted
Techniques for dynamically reducing cell site component power consumption are disclosed. A load associated with an antenna of a cell site of a cellular network is determined. The load is compared to a predetermined threshold. Whether the load is below the predetermined threshold is determined. In response to the load being determined to be below the predetermined threshold, electrical power for the antenna is reduced. in response to the load being determined to be above the predetermined threshold, electrical power for the antenna is maintained. Reducing the electrical power for the antenna may include turning off a power amplifier for the antenna, turning off an antenna port of a radio unit that communicates with the antenna or an antenna port thereof, etc.
