Can small base stations conserve grid energy in hybrid-energy heterogeneous cellular networks?

Abstract: Dense deployment of small base stations (SBSs) within the coverage of macro base station (MBS) has been spotlighted as a promising solution to conserve grid energy in hybrid-energy heterogeneous cellular networks (HCNs), which caters to the rapidly increasing demand of mobile user (MUs).

How does a hybrid control strategy benefit base stations?

Furthermore, the effect of peak shifting is significantly enhanced with an increase in the scale of scheduling participation. The hybrid control strategy for base stations enables the effective utilization of the differing power reserve and temperature regulation resulting from the varying communication loads of base stations.

How are communication base stations represented in a given area?

In a given area, the communication base stations are represented as M = {1, 2, , m} base stations, I = {1, 2, , i} mobile users, and T = {1, 2, , t} operating time slots of base stations. Figure 1 illustrates the distribution of communication base stations and users in the region.

Do you need a special use permit for cell towers near schools?

Hempstead, New York requires a special use permit for cell towers near schools. Milpitas, California: School Board asked Crown Castle and T-Mobile to relocate the cell tower to remote location.

Why do communication base stations use battery energy storage?

Meanwhile, communication base stations often configure battery energy storage as a backup power source to maintain the normal operation of communication equipment [3, 4]. Given the rapid proliferation of 5G base stations in recent years, the significance of communication energy storage has grown exponentially [5, 6].

Can a power grid model reduce the power consumption of base stations?

The analysis results demonstrate that the proposed model can effectively reduce the power consumption of base stations while mitigating the fluctuation of the power grid load.
