Abstract

Data traffic and the number of mobile subscribers have increased significantly prompting cellular network operators to install additional mobile cellular base stations (BSs) to meet the increasing demand. This proliferation of BSs has resulted in consequential increase in energy consumption and Green House Gases (GHGs) emission. Several techniques have been deployed to reduce the energy consumption of the base station in what is called a green base station. This paper presents an insight into these approaches and highlights key challenges and potential research directions. It also highlights what environmental sustainability activist, regulators and government can do to incentivize green BSs concept in Nigeria.
