Multiple smaller base stations are greener than a single powerful
Abstract4.1 Architecture & Hardware challenges:4.2 Algorithms & Compute challenges4.3 Deployment Challenges5 Conclusion and DiscussionIn this short paper, we show how base-station densi-fication can be a possible approach to create sustain-able wireless networks which scale well with number of users. The key insight is that instead of relying on a sin-gle sophisticated base station expending power to reach far-off clients, the same job can be done more flexibly and with lower pow...See more on wcsng.ucsd Electrical & Computer Engineering | University of Utah
Improving Capacity and Coverage in Cellular Systems
Only one base station needed. Because the system is distributed, less power is needed per antenna, and cells can be closer together without increasing SIR. The cluster size can be reduced, making it
