Basestation
This upward trend in the market for green base stations for mobile communication is the result of rising energy costs, government policy initiatives and concern for environment.
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.
Based on the 3GPP base station conformance specifications, regional standardization bodies, local regulators and network operators implement test standards according to their needs. Base stations need to pass conformance tests in the region where they will be installed before they can start operation in the field.
Base stations need to pass conformance tests in the region where they will be installed before they can start operation in the field. For base stations the 3GPP specification TS 38.141 covers transmitter and receiver characteristics of base stations as well as receiver performance under noise and fading conditions.
The green base station uses solar panels to generate electricity and store it during daytime by charging high-capacity rechargeable lithium–ion batteries. The stored energy from rechargeable batteries will be used to power the base station during the weather-related disaster when electricity supply from the grid is disrupted.
