Green Radio Techniques for Improved Wireless Basestation Design
This tutorial will discuss the power drain or efficiency of mobile terminals and base-stations to define the issues with current cellular systems operation, particularly in base-station or access point designs. Indications will be given for the total power consumption of (UK) cellular GSM and 3G networks. These issues are set to increase with the move from predominantly speech and text messaging to the roll out of mobile broadband, with its much higher data rate transmission requirements and the urgent requirement for lower cost per delivered bit. The second half of the tutorial will review the typical approaches that are now being researched to improve the overall efficiency of base-stations and alleviate the high power drain to achieve 'green radio' system design credentials with significantly reduced CO2 emissions. This tutorial is set in the context of the Mobile VCE, an industry-UK government funded 'green radio' research program conducted in 4 UK Universities in collaboration with 11 international industrial sponsor and program monitoring companies.
What you will learn:
- Examine growth in data transmission requirements for mobile broadband
- Review power drain in base-station or access point is the major issue in many wireless systems
- Discuss how Green Radio promises to deliver benefit to the Cellular network Operators via the equipment supply chain vendors
