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?
This proliferation of BSs has resulted in consequential increase in energy consumption and Green House Gases (GHGs) emission. Several techniques have been deployed to reduce the energy consumption of the base station in what is called a green base station.
Why do cellular network operators need more cellular base stations?
Data traffic and the number of mobile subscribers have increased significantly prompting cellular network operators to install additional mobile cellular base stations (BSs) to meet the increasing demand. This proliferation of BSs has resulted in consequential increase in energy consumption and Green House Gases (GHGs) emission.
Can a green base station reduce energy consumption?
Several techniques have been deployed to reduce the energy consumption of the base station in what is called a green base station. This paper presents an insight into these approaches and highlights key challenges and potential research directions.
Are cellular network operators moving towards green cellular BS?
Figure 10 reveals that many cellular network operators in the world have still not shifted toward green cellular BS. Most of these operators are located in developing countries with limited electricity supply and unreliable electric grids. The financial issues in these countries must be investigated further. 4.5.
How do cellular network operators shift to green practices?
Cellular network operators attempt to shift toward green practices using two main approaches. The first approach uses energy-efficient hardware to reduce the energy consumption of BSs at the equipment level and adopts economic power sources to feed these stations.
