Mobile base station power calculation

What is a base station power consumption model?

In recent years, many models for base station power con-sumption have been proposed in the literature. The work in proposed a widely used power consumption model, which explicitly shows the linear relationship between the power transmitted by the BS and its consumed power.

How do base stations affect mobile cellular network power consumption?

Base stations represent the main contributor to the energy consumption of a mobile cellular network. Since traffic load in mobile networks significantly varies during a working or weekend day, it is important to quantify the influence of these variations on the base station power consumption.

Does base station power consumption affect traffic load?

Since traffic load in mobile networks significantly varies during a base station power consumption. Therefore, this paper investigates changes in the their respective traffic load. The real data in terms of the power consumption and traffic base station site. Measu rements show the exis tence of a direct relationship between base

Can power models be used for macro and micro base stations?

In this paper we developed such power models for macro and micro base stations relying on data sheets of several GSM and UMTS base stations with focus on component level, e.g., power amplifier and cooling equipment. In a first application of the model a traditional macro cell deployment and a heterogeneous deployment are compared.

What are the main energy consumers of a base station?

Of the other base station elements, significant energy consumers are: air conditioning (17.5%), digital si gnal processing (10%) and AC/DC conversion elements (7.5%) . terms of three levels: co mponent, link and network. efficiency of the power amplifier. Efficiency can be improved using a specially designed power

Why is base station deployment important in mobile telecommunications?

The growing interest in new and reliable services in mobile telecommunications has resulted in an increased number of installed base stations (BSs) worldwide. In addition, the traditional concept of BS deployment assumes continuous operation in order to guarantee the quality of service anywhere and anytime.
