Performance analysis of energy efficient cell zooming mechanism of base station using classification approach

Abstract

The Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has newlinereported that 2% of the global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions currently occur newlinedue to telecommunication equipments and it is expected to increase 4% in newline2020. In January 2020, there were more than 11 million traditional Base newlineStation (BS) sites worldwide. The global telecom towers market was valued at newline4,342.520 thousand units in 2020, and it is projected to be 5,308.088 thousand newlineunits by 2026, registering a CAGR of 3.34% over the period 2021-2026. With newlinethe outbreak of COVID-19, the telecom industry has witnessed a significant newlineincrease in demand for internet services due to a major chunk of the newlinepopulation staying at home and remote working conditions. The increase in newlinepeople working from home has led to an increase in demand for downloading, newlineonline video viewing, and communication through video conferencing, all of newlinewhich are leading to increased network traffic and data usage. Over recent newlineyears, there has been a surge in the installation of telecom towers. The newlinetelecommunication exchange websites estimated that over 250,000 towers newlinewould be erected globally in 2020 alone, with operators from China and India newlinecontributing the highest to the new tower installations. Phil Marshall, chief newlineresearch officer at Tolaga Research, estimates the global number of base newlinestations at 6.5 million sites, while Chinese equipment vendor Huawei puts the newlinenumber at 7 million but the number of logical sites would be considerably newlinehigher. This number is expected to increase in future. In the meantime, the newlineexplosive growth of wireless traffic certainly results in huge energy newlineexpenditure, which has become one of the major sources of worldwide energy newlineconsumption, and is expected to increase further in the future. newline
