Base station power output average power

Output power of the Base Station is the mean power delivered to a load with resistance equal to the nominal load impedance of the transmitter. The maximum total output power, P max, of the Base Station is the mean power level measured at the antenna connector during the transmitter ON period in a specified reference condition.

In recent years, many models for base station power con-sumption have been proposed in the literature. The work in proposed a widely used power consumption model, which explicitly shows the linear relationship between the power transmitted by the BS and its consumed power.

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.

The proliferating frequency bands and modulation schemes of modern cellular networks make it increasingly important that base-station power amplifiers offer the right combination of output power, efficiency and multi-band support – at both peak and average power levels. PAs are the main energy consumers in modern base stations.

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.

Average power consumption of BS equipment under static test conditions: the BS average power consumption is based on measured BS power consumption data under static condition when the BS is loaded artificially in a lab for three different loads, low, medium and busy hour under given reference configuration.
