Abstract :
Cell stand-by is widely considered today as one of the most promising techniques to reduce energy consumption of cellular base stations. The majority of existing studies assume that cells can simply enter standby mode, but very few measurements and practical studies exist. In this paper we present a practical implementation of standby mode on a commercial 3G femtocell, the lessons learned and the results obtained.
