Abstract
A method for managing power consumption of a radio access network. The method includes: defining a cluster including at least two radio resource units of the radio access network; defining a parameter indicative of a performance of the cluster and of a power consumption of the cluster, the parameter being expressed as a function of traffic throughputs carried by the radio resource units of the cluster; calculating optimum traffic throughputs as values of the traffic throughputs carried by the radio resource units of the cluster which optimize the parameter; and distributing traffic amongst the radio resource units of the cluster such that the radio resource units of the cluster carry the calculated optimum traffic throughputs.
