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 communication initiative?
The green communication initiative primarily aims to improve the energy efficiency, reduce the OPEX, and eliminate the GHG emissions of BSs to guarantee their future evolution [ 2, 3 ]. Cellular network operators attempt to shift toward green practices using two main approaches.
Are green communication networks a common energy consumption problem?
Vinay et al. present an overview of issues with consumption of energy in green communication networks and describe energy-saving methods. Green communication networks are a common energy consumption problem, and this section describes the methods used to improve their energy efficiency.
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.
Why are green wireless communications important?
Green wireless communications have been an important area of study targeting the trade-off between increased mobile communications and energy consumption . The use of such technology is motivated by the prospect of higher data rates and improved performance over the existing networks [2, 3].
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.
