What Is the Role of a Base Station in Wireless Communication?
Base stations are critical components in wireless communication networks, serving as the intermediary between mobile devices and the core network. They play a vital role in
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.
The green base station uses solar panels to generate electricity and store it during daytime by charging high-capacity rechargeable lithium–ion batteries. The stored energy from rechargeable batteries will be used to power the base station during the weather-related disaster when electricity supply from the grid is disrupted.
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.
Base stations are important in the cellular communication as it facilitate seamless communication between mobile devices and the network communication. The demand for efficient data transmission are increased as we are advancing towards new technologies such as 5G and other data intensive applications.
