“…Even though every new generation of mobile networks brought a decrease of the energy consumption per bit of data, the total power consumption of base stations increases with their total throughput capacity (Manner et al ). This, together with higher bandwidth usage by mobile services (Cisco Newsroom ), means their relevance will grow.…”

SummaryIn this study, we use an improved, more accurate model to analyze the energy footprint of content downloaded from a major online newspaper by means of various combinations of user devices and access networks. Our results indicate that previous analyses based on average figures for laptops or desktop personal computers predict national and global energy consumption values that are unrealistically high. Additionally, we identify the components that contribute most of the total energy consumption during the use stage of the life cycle of digital services. We find that, depending on the type of user device and access network employed, the data center where the news content originates consumes between 4% and 48% of the total energy consumption when news articles are read and between 2% and 11% when video content is viewed. Similarly, we find that user devices consume between 7% and 90% and 0.7% and 78% for articles and video content, respectively, depending on the type of user device and access network that is employed. Though increasing awareness of the energy consumption by data centers is justified, an analysis of our results shows that for individual users of the online newspaper we studied, energy use by user devices and the third-generation (3G) mobile network are usually bigger contributors to the service footprint than the datacenters. Analysis of our results also shows that data transfer of video content has a significant energy use on the 3G mobile network, but less so elsewhere. Hence, a strategy of reducing the resolution of video would reduce the energy footprint for individual users who are using mobile devices to access content by the 3G network.

“…In addition, the performance was insensitive to the mode holding time within a certain range. In [55], a practical implementation for approximating an energy-proportional (EP) 3G system by using non-EP BS components to cope with temporalspatial traffic dynamics was presented. The article also proposed that the under-utilized BSs would be shut down and restarted again as needed.…”

Green communication is an innovative research area to find radio communication and networking solutions that can significantly improve energy efficiency and resource efficiency of wireless communications without compromising the QoS of users. It contributes to global environment improvement and achieves commercial benefits for telecommunication operators. The main goal of designing green base stations is to save energy and reduce power consumption while guaranteeing user service and coverage and ensuring the base station's capability for evolution. In a wireless network base station, power consumption is the biggest issue. With global warming and energy crises becoming the most compelling environmental challenges, green solutions are a common issue to be handled. Hence, the primary focus of the “Green cellular network” is saving power in base stations to “care for planet and operator’s valet.” we reviewed a few techniques for saving power consumption and improving energy efficiency in base stations. However, many technical challenges for base station architecture redesign, heterogeneous network deployment, radio resource management, etc., need to be addressed for energy-efficient base stations.

“…The explosive demand for high data rate of mobile users has caused BSs to be the dominant total energy consumer within the cellular networks. It has been shown that the energy consumption for an LTE network has to increase about 60 times compared to a 2G network to offer the same level of coverage [115]. Due to this, most studies on EE in mobile cellular radio networks focused on the BS side.…”

The research on optimization of cellular network's energy efficiency (EE) towards environmental and economic sustainability has attracted increasing attention recently. In this survey, we discuss the opportunities, trends and challenges of this challenging topic. Two major contributions are presented namely 1) survey of proposed energy efficiency metrics; 2) survey of proposed energy efficient solutions. We provide a broad overview of the state of-the-art energy efficient methods covering base station (BS) hardware design, network planning and deployment, and network management and operation stages. In order to further understand how EE is assessed and improved through the heterogeneous network (HetNet), BS's energy-awareness and several typical HetNet deployment scenarios such as macrocell-microcell and macrocell-picocell are presented. The analysis of different HetNet deployment scenarios gives insights towards a successful deployment of energy efficient cellular networks.
