Energy Consumption Assessment of Mobile Cellular Networks
Journal Title: American journal of Engineering Research - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 3
Abstract
The increase in energy consumption of mobile cellular networks has now become a concern not only because of increase in the cost of energy on the part of mobile network operators but also because of its adverse effect on the environment due to global warming. Also with 5G technologies like Machine to Machine (M2M) and Internet of things being developed, there is even going to be a greater increase in the energy consumption of mobile cellular networks. Hence there is a need to develop energy efficient solutions and strategies. A key aspect of these strategies is the development of suitable metrics that can be used to quantify and compare the energy consumption of mobile cellular networks. In this research, the Energy Consumption Gain (ECG) metric is used compare the energy efficiency of the various Radio Access Technologies (RATs) in Zurich, Switzerland. Relevant Mobile network data set comprising all the Radio Access Technologies (RAT) in Zurich, Switzerland was obtained and analyzed using a combination of ArcGIS ArcMap 10.1 and Microsoft excel 2013 software. The outcome is that the LTE RAT is the most energy efficient because it consumes less power than all the other RATs.
