Do cellular network operators prioritize energy-efficient solutions for base stations?Recognizing this, Mobile Network Operators are actively prioritizing EE for both network maintenance and environmental stewardship in future cellular networks. The paper aims to provide an outline of energy-efficient solutions for base stations of wireless cellular networks.
What is the sleep mode of a base station?There are different stages of the sleep mode of base stations. These are mentioned below: On: the small cell operates fully and consumes the maximal power. Standby: the small cell sleeps in “light” mode and can easily wake up on UE’s request., This can be done by shutting down the TCXO heater and RF.
How can energy consumption be reduced in heterogeneous networks?From the network level, energy consumption can be reduced by controlling network cell size and their layouts . Heterogeneous networks are supposed to conserve energy if the distance between nodes is shortened. This review paper focuses on this aspect of limiting the energy consumption of networks.
