Energy Efficiency Scheme with Cellular Partition Zooming for Massive   MIMO Systems
  Massive multiple-input multiple-output (Massive MIMO) has been realized as a promising technology for next generation wireless mobile communications, in which Spectral efficiency (SE) and energy efficiency (EE) are two critical issues. Prior estimates have indicated that 57% energy of the cellular system need to be supplied by the operator, especially to feed the base station (BS). While varies scheduling studies concerned on the user equipment (UE) to reduce the total energy consumption instead of BS. Fewer literatures address EE issues from a BS perspective. In this paper, an EE scheme is proposed by reducing the energy consumption of BS. The transmission model and parameters related to EE is formulated first. Afterwards, an cellular partition zooming (CPZ) scheme is proposed where the BS can zoom in to maintain the coverage area. Specifically, if no user exists in the rare area of the coverage, BS will zoom out to sleep mode to save energy. Comprehensive simulation results demonstrate that CPZ has better EE performance with negligible impact on transmission rate.
