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.
Can low-carbon communication base stations improve local energy use?
Therefore, low-carbon upgrades to communication base stations can effectively improve the economics of local energy use while reducing local environmental pollution and gaining public health benefits. For this research, we recommend further in-depth exploration in three areas for the future.
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.
What is a low-carbon base station?
(A) The low-carbon base station consists of a power converter, power grid, photovoltaic, energy storage battery, and base station. The low-carbon base station system maintains communication with the control cloud platform and the micro base station.
