The power consumption of wireless access networks will become an important issue in the coming years. In this paper, the power consumption of base stations for mobile WiMAX, HSPA, and LTE is modelled. This power consumption is related to the coverage of the base station. The considered technologies are compared according to their energy efficiency for different bit rates at a bandwidth of 5 MHz. For...
We report on field trials using CoMP transmission in the downlink of a mobile radio network. Two new features enable over-the-air CoMP transmission from physically separated base stations and terminals. These are distributed synchronization and a fast virtual local area network. Using VLAN tags, terminals feed back the multi-cell channel state information to their serving bases where it is multiplexed...
Open access is one of the access options for femtocell networks, where the mobile stations (MSs) are allowed to make hand-off to the femtocell base stations (fBSs) in their vicinity. In this paper, several performance trade-offs that are related to the deployment of open access femtocell networks are presented through computer simulations. In particular, first, impact of a capacity-based cell selection...
Future cellular mobile radio networks will exhibit a much more dense base station deployment than 2nd or 3rd generation communications systems, particularly with regard to traffic coverage. Hence, a significant increase in power consumption of cellular networks can be expected. In order to counter this trend, energy efficiency of such networks should be increased considerably. Concerning energy efficiency,...
