Abstract

The number of users and the use of 
telecommunication systems are increasing rapidly and this 
result in greater demands on energy usage. Based on the 
extensive Life-cycle assessment (LCA) conducted by various 
network operators, it is learned that energy consumption in the 
usage phase of its radio access networks is the most imminent 
factor relating to impact on athe environment. The amount of 
CO2 emission is increasing in communication system, in 
parallel with increase in mobile consumers. And it is also 
observed that current wireless networks are not energy
efficient, mainly the base stations (BS). This alarming growth 
in mobile users forces us to use higher data rate mobile 
broadband. The need for restructuring of existing network 
architecture, we need to control the systems in every base 
station. This paper discusses the current energy consumption 
scenario in base station devices. It also describes innovative 
and promising method for enhancing the energy-efficiency of 
the wireless networks and developing solutions that reduce 
operating costs and effects on the environment.
