TL;DR

This paper discusses deploying green cellular networks with a hierarchical structure to reduce RF pollution, improve energy efficiency, and address public health concerns from electromagnetic radiation.

Contribution

It proposes a multi-layer hierarchical cellular network model combining macro, micro, pico, and femto cells to mitigate RF pollution and enhance spectral efficiency.

Findings

Hierarchical structure reduces RF pollution

Improves energy conservation in cellular networks

Enhances spectral density and network capacity

Abstract

As the mobile telecommunication systems are growing tremendously all over the world, the numbers of handheld and base stations are also rapidly growing and it became very popular to see these base stations distributed everywhere in the neighborhood and on roof tops which has caused a considerable amount of panic to the public in Palestine concerning wither the radiated electromagnetic fields from these base stations may cause any health effect or hazard. Recently UP High Court in India ordered for removal of BTS towers from residential area, it has created panic among cellular communication network designers too. Green cellular networks could be a solution for the above problem. This paper deals with green cellular networks with the help of multi-layer overlaid hierarchical structure (macro / micro / pico / femto cells). Macrocell for area coverage, micro for pedestrian and a slow moving traffic while pico for indoor use and femto for individual high capacity users. This could be the answer of the problem of energy conservation and enhancement of spectral density also.
