ASEAN Communications Green Base Station Maintenance

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.

How can mobile network architecture contribute to green networking?

The representation of the mobile network architecture along with the expanded view of the 5G base station has been depicted in Fig. 5. Improving hardware components can contribute toward green networking. It entails reducing BS’s energy consumption by using energy-efficient hardware.

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.
