Base station communication equipment load current

Is there a direct relationship between base station traffic load and power consumption?

The real data in terms of the power consumption and traffic load have been obtained from continuous measurements performed on a fully operated base station site. Measurements show the existence of a direct relationship between base station traffic load and power consumption.

How much energy does a communication base station use?

In this region, the communication base stations are equipped with energy storage systems with a rated capacity of 48 kWh and a maximum charge/discharge power of 15.84 kW. The self-discharge efficiency is set at 0.99, and the state of charge (SOC) is allowed to range between a maximum of 0.9 and a minimum of 0.1. Figure 3.

How do base stations affect mobile cellular network power consumption?

Base stations represent the main contributor to the energy consumption of a mobile cellular network. Since traffic load in mobile networks significantly varies during a working or weekend day, it is important to quantify the influence of these variations on the base station power consumption.

What is a base station load forecasting model?

Reference (Qu et al., 2019) introduces a base station load forecasting model that leverages spatio-temporal characteristics. To achieve this, a clustering algorithm based on artificial neural networks is employed to establish specific models for various types of base stations.
