Towards greener telecommunication towers: A framework for
Subsequently, LEED has proved to enhance the main categories related to communication towers. Therefore, this paper aims to propose guidelines to create LEED for
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.
Green rating systems are used as guidelines for making buildings more sustainable. Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system is the most widely used green rating system in the world; however, it doesn't have any guidelines for applying sustainable measures in telecommunication towers.
Other alternatives include wind, battery, biomass, and hybrid systems. Revayu Energy company provides a hybrid wind-solar solution for communication towers to eliminate the use of diesel as solar power will be used mainly in the daytime while wind power will be used at night time (Solar Impulse Foundation, 2022).
