The alternative is to have a brown-out where the voltage is reduced. It costs a lot to have generators standing by just in case there is a surge of demand‚ and the operators of those generators expect to be paid whether they run the generators or not. An alternative is if there is a large consumer

Load Balancing in Cellular Network through Cell Breathing network structure being much dispersed‚ mobile AbstractIn cellular network‚ teletraffic continues to grow at a proliferating rate. Thus existing networks often encounter undesirable phenomenon like call drop due to overloading of cells. To overcome this problem‚ this thesis aims to perform load balancing using the technique of cell breathing in a novel way. Unlike previous works on cell breathing‚ where the radius of the overloaded cell was
