Base Station Energy-Saving Strategies for Green Wireless Communications
This paper addresses the tradeoffs between gains in cell throughput that can be expected from coordinated multi point transmission and reception technologies and the
This study presents an overview of sustainable and green cellular base stations (BSs), which account for most of the energy consumed in cellular networks. We review the architecture of the BS and the power consumption model, and then summarize the trends in green cellular network research over the past decade.
In the vast telecommunications network, communication base stations play a frontline role. Positioned closest to end users, they serve as gateways for processing customer requests and managing data flow. In the words of "Interesting Communication Engineering Drawings," these stations act like “business trackers,” always vigilant to:
The connection diagram provides a clear overview of how the main base station equipment operates within the network. Surrounding this central "brain" are the “Four Guardians” that ensure seamless functionality: Power Supply: Provides a steady and uninterrupted energy source to keep the equipment operational.
The green communication initiative primarily aims to improve the energy efficiency, reduce the OPEX, and eliminate the GHG emissions of BSs to guarantee their future evolution [ 2, 3 ]. Cellular network operators attempt to shift toward green practices using two main approaches.
