Environmental Engineering (EE); Mobile Network (MN) Energy Consumption (EC) estimation method; Energy estimation method based on statistical approach

Scope

The present document is aimed to define an estimation method for anticipating the total energy consumption of a radio
access network based on measuring energy consumption of a few randomly chosen sites. The present document is used
when measuring energy consumption of the whole network is either impossible or costly to an operator. Two different
methods have been presented in the present document , one based on Basic Estimation Method and another based on
stratified Estimation Method.
The present document deals with any type of radio access network such as homogeneous and heterogeneous network
and technologies such as GSM, UMTS and LTE.
The estimation of energy consumption User Equipment (UE) is not within the scope of the present document.
