N2 - In this paper, we propose a novel energy-aware adaptive sectorisation strategy, where the base stations are able to adapt themselves to the temporal traffic variation by switching off some sectors and changing the beam-width of the remaining sectors. An event based user traffic model is established according to Markov-Modulated Poisson Process (MMPP). Adaptation is performed while taking into account the the target Quality of Service (QoS), in terms of blocking probability. In addition, coverage requirement is also considered. This work targets at future cellular systems, in particular LTE systems. The results show that at least 21% energy consumption can be reduced by using the proposed adaptive sectorisation strategy.
