FAQS about Communication green base station specification and standard requirements

Are green cellular base stations sustainable?

This study presents an overview of sustainable and green cellular base stations (BSs), which account for most of the energy consumed in cellular networks. We review the architecture of the BS and the power consumption model, and then summarize the trends in green cellular network research over the past decade.

What are 3GPP base stations conformance standards?

Based on the 3GPP base station conformance specifications, regional standardization bodies, local regulators and network operators implement test standards according to their needs. Base stations need to pass conformance tests in the region where they will be installed before they can start operation in the field.

What is 3GPP TS 37 114?

3GPP TS 38.141-2: "NR; Base Station (BS) conformance testing Part 2: Radiated conformance testing". 3GPP TS 37.113: "E-UTRA, UTRA and GSM/EDGE; Multi-Standard Radio (MSR) Base Station (BS) Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)". 3GPP TS 37.114: "Active Antenna System (AAS) Base Station (BS) Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)".

What are 3GPP TS 37 114 & IEC 61000-6-1?

3GPP TS 37.114: "Active Antenna System (AAS) Base Station (BS) Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)". IEC 61000-6-1: "Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) - Part 6-1: Generic standards - Immunity for residential, commercial and light-industrial environments".

Do base stations need to pass conformance tests?

Base stations need to pass conformance tests in the region where they will be installed before they can start operation in the field. For base stations the 3GPP specification TS 38.141 covers transmitter and receiver characteristics of base stations as well as receiver performance under noise and fading conditions.

What is a BS type 1 Nr base station?

BS type 1-C: NR base station operating at FR1 with requirements set consisting only of conducted requirements defined at individual antenna connectors. BS type 1-H: NR base station operating at FR1 with a requirement set consisting of conducted requirements defined at individual TAB connectors and OTA requirements defined at RIB.
