Abstract

The increasing demand for cellular communication services requires high number of cellular base stations distributed over land resulting in greater demands on energy usage, and high pollution levels. Recently, because of the public concern about the electromagnetic radiation effects and energy costs, providing efficient green cellular communication services through power consumption and keeping RF pollution at harmless levels become one of the major aims for cellular network operators. This paper presents the intelligent antenna technology as one of the solutions for energy consumption reduction in cellular base stations, base station density reduction and cell phone battery life extension. Results presented show that using intelligent antenna yields in base station power reduction at different cell loads, and cell phone battery life extension.
