Green Radio Technologies / Deliverable in the EARTH project
30 January 2012
The main goal of EARTH project is to significantly reduce the power consumption of cellular wireless networks. This deliverable is an intermediate report on energy efficiency improvements expected on base stations radio technologies. These results are achieved by innovative solutions on radio transmission techniques, on hardware components, and their combination through adequate interface techniques, with contribution from all WP4 tasks. Solutions concepts and expected results are analysed in terms of energy efficiency potential and adaptability to dynamic systems for macro and small cell. Moreover, each solution is analyzed for specific deployment scenarios, operating conditions, optimization time scale, and traffic load. Thereby, these technology bricks associated with their operating conditions will be exploited in WP6 to build an "Integrated Solution".
