Are green cellular base stations sustainable?

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.

What is a green base station solution?

The green base station solution involves base station system architecture, base station form, power saving technologies, and application of green technologies. Using SDR-based architecture and distributed base stations is a different approach to traditional multiband multimode network construction.

Are base stations a threat to the safe operation of electric network?

Abstract: The ultra-dense deployment of base stations (BSs) results in significant energy costs, while the increasing use of fluctuating renewable energy sources (RESs) threatens the safe operation of electric network (EN). These issues can be addressed by coordinating BSs’ active/sleep states with RES generation.

Do 5G communication base stations have multi-objective cooperative optimization?

This paper develops a method to consider the multi-objective cooperative optimization operation of 5G communication base stations and Active Distribution Network (ADN) and constructs a description model for the operational flexibility of 5G communication base stations.

What should a base station do in a wireless communications network?

In a wireless communications network, the base station should maintain high-quality coverage. It should also have the potential for upgrade or evolution. As network traffic increases, power consumption increases proportionally to the number of base stations. However, reducing the number of base stations may degrade network quality.

Why is a base station important?

Environmental protection is a global concern, and for telecom operators and equipment vendors worldwide, developing green, energy-saving technologies for wireless communications is a priority. A base station is an important element of a wireless communications network and often the main focus of power saving in the whole network.
