    Green communications aims to reduce the carbon footprint of wireless networks through more efficient energy usage and renewable energy sources like solar and wind. Base stations are high energy users, but their power requirements can be cut by powering down during off-peak hours, optimizing equipment design, and using renewable energy to power them. Solar and wind are practical solutions that reduce reliance on fossil fuels and their associated emissions.

    What is Green Communication?
    Energy-harvesting technologies/
    Renewable Energy

    – The main renewable energy sources being considered for wireless


    communications are
    – Solar Energy
    – Wind Energy
    – The advantages of these energy sources is
    – maintenance-free
    – pollution-free
    – requires no transport or storage of oil/diesel, immune to the cost escalation of fuel
    Power Requirements of Base
    Stations
    – Cut down by
    – powering down the BS outside of peak hours
    – shortening of cables to the power amplifier
    – overall better design of power amplifiers
    – reducing the cooling costs
    – This makes solar or wind powered base stations a practical solution requiring fewer and
    smaller solar panels and wind turbines.
    – With modern technology, a 10 sq ft. solar panel can generate 100–200W at 12 volt. One can
    combine panels in parallel or series to increase the current and/or voltage
    – One can generate 10KW–50KW from wind speeds beyond 5 m/sec. Thus, there is a great
    potential to use micro wind turbines to power wireless BSs.
    – The energy spent in a BS has the following components:
    1. Energy for baseband processing: modulation, coding and transmission
    interface processing.
    2. Energy for transmission to the BSC/RNC.
    3. Energy dissipated in cable feeders, AC/DC converters, etc.
    4. Energy used in transmission of data and control signals.

    Information and Communication


    Technology(ICT) contributes 2%
    of CO2 emission.
    • The first problem of the high levels of
    energy consumption is that it is often
    necessary to use fossil fuel (e.g. diesel),
    which produces large amounts of GHG.
    • The figures are going to triple next year!
    CONCERNS
    – Concern in WIRELESS technology is energy
    efficiency
    – Energy consumption is expected to drastically
    rise
    – Serious economic and ecological concerns
    – Increased in amount of CO2 in atmosphere
    due to higher power consumption
    Energy Consumption Survey
    – (ICT) industry include the energy requirements as follows;
    – PCs and monitor = 40% , Data Centre = 23% , Fixed and mobile
    telecommunication = 24%
    – 40% Power requirement = Grid Electricity
    – 60% Power requirement = Diesel Gen-Set
    – 1 litre petrol ==2.3Kgs CO2

    9 million tones of DIESEL 5 million tones POWER

    The technique that


    yields higher energy
    reduction at a
    network
    scale.
    1. CELL SHAPING TECHNIQUES
    – Best way to decrease energy consumption in cellular network
    is to adapt cell layout traffic distribution by cell shaping.
    – The basic idea is to turn off most of the base stations during
    low traffic period.
    – For switching off, its necessary that the base station about to
    be deactivated redistribute the traffic to their closest
    neighbors.
    – Some base stations will not be able to redistribute their traffic
    and will remain active ,and this is said as ‘cell is breathing’
    A macro cell is a
    cell in a mobile
    2. Macro -femto radio
    phone network
    that provides
    access deployments
    radio coverage
    served by a high
    power cellular
    base station
    (tower).
    A femto cell is a
    small, low-power
    cellular base
    station, typically
    designed for use in
    a home or small
    business
    2. FEMTO CELLS
    – Femto cells are good solution to
    enforce the capacity of a macro cell
    deployment without a high
    increase in energy consumption.
    – This avoids introduction of new
    macro BS’s to extend coverage and
    availability.
    3. REPEATERS
    – Device used for boosting the cell
    phone reception.
    – Similar to the cellular broadcast
    towers used for broadcasting
    – by the network providers.
    – They are smaller, usually intended for
    use in one building.
