4 Frequently Asked Questions about "How many times does the base station power off at a time"

How to reduce the energy consumption of a base station?

So when the inter-cell distance is too large, it is necessary to increase the distance between cells, thus reducing the power consumption of the base station. In the actual network, in order to reduce the energy loss caused by frequent switching, the following two methods can usually be used: increase the distance between cells.

Why does a base station lose a lot of power?

Because switching is a continuous process and the base station is a device that works periodically, the switching loss accounts for a large proportion of the total power consumption of the base station.

How much power does a base station have?

Maximum base station power is limited to 38 dBm output power for Medium-Range base stations, 24 dBm output power for Local Area base stations, and to 20 dBm for Home base stations. This power is defined per antenna and carrier, except for home base stations, where the power over all antennas (up to four) is counted.

How does a base station work?

Depending on the size of base station and its traffic, the base station may also have another sources of power such as a diesel generator, wind turbine or biofuels. The base station is a transceiver and acts as an interface between a mobile station and network using microwave radio communication.
