Abstract: In this work, we shed light on the energy consumption profile of small cell deployments in residential and corporate environments. We present new algorithms to manage energy and congestion in small cell networks. We present a comparative study between our work and other similar works. In this paper, we are particularly interested in aspects based on the sleep mode of base stations. Therefore, we propose new algorithms to reduce energy consumption of networks by putting small cells in active or idle mode according to the network status. In addition, we reduced network congestion with this technique.
