In light of the global focus on greenhouse gas emissions, energy consumption of communication networks has become an important research area. Networks are major energy consumers and are generally dimensioned for peak loads. For extended periods, resources consume power, but are lightly or unused. This research investigates the concept of dynamic topologies, i.e. networks that adapt their topology according to traffic volume. The key aim of this study is to investigate power reductions that can be achieved by dynamic topologies. It proposes a network transformation and introduces mathematical programming models that results in energy optimal topologies for given traffic loads. This paper focuses on the optimisation problems and investigates gains in static environments. Numerical results are presented for example networks using a large set of traffic matrices. For the test networks, dynamic topologies reduce the average network power consumption, depending on the network load, by approximately 12-52%.
