Vermogensallocatie en (de)activering van antennes en symbolen voor energiereductie in sub-6 GHz basisstations

The increase in the energy consumption of fifth-generation (5G) base stations (BSs) is a growing concern in terms of environmental and economic sustainability. A reason for this increase is that wireless networks are often designed to meet the peak requirements, which have been constantly rising in each new network generation. In this thesis, we adopt an alternative approach and aim at operating the BSs such that their energy use is minimized for a fixed target quality-of-service (QoS). Specific
