Claim 13:
14. A computer program product tangibly embodied in a computer-readable storage device that stores a set of instructions that when executed by one or more processors perform a method for reducing power consumption at a cell site, the method comprising:
configuring the one or more processors at an element management control unit comprising a set of distribution and central units for monitoring power and channel traffic at one or more cell sites in a network and for communicating a power outage to a control unit at the cell site;
transmitting and receiving by the one or more processors, data traffic data of user equipment (UE) at the cell site based in part on power status in the network communicated from the control unit;
in response to at least a detection of the power outage, implementing by the one or more processors, at least one power saving schema of one or more of a set of power-saving schema wherein the set of power-saving schema comprises an adaptive channel management schema, an adaptive beam management schema, and an adaptive traffic management schema;
not guaranteeing fairness, by the one or more processors, in at least the adaptive channel management schema between one or more subscribers in the network to maintain an appropriate level of power-saving at the cell site; and
implementing, by the one or more processors, in the traffic management schema taking into account a level of congestion of network traffic per available channel between the one or more subscribers user reductions in power consumption at the cell site based on one or more choke actions to at least one available channel to limit or not enable the network traffic on the at least one available channel.
