The green base station solution involves base station system architecture, base station form, power saving technologies, and application of green technologies. Using SDR-based architecture and distributed base stations is a different approach to traditional multiband multimode network construction.
In a wireless communications network, the base station should maintain high-quality coverage. It should also have the potential for upgrade or evolution. As network traffic increases, power consumption increases proportionally to the number of base stations. However, reducing the number of base stations may degrade network quality.
Environmental protection is a global concern, and for telecom operators and equipment vendors worldwide, developing green, energy-saving technologies for wireless communications is a priority. A base station is an important element of a wireless communications network and often the main focus of power saving in the whole network.
What is the difference between a traditional base station and SDR soft base station?
The biggest difference between a traditional base station and an SDR soft base station is that the Radio Frequency Unit (RU) of the soft base station is capable of software programming and redefining. So an SDR soft base station can intelligently allocate spectrum and support several standards.
