Bandwidth and consumption controller algorithms for solar-powered base stations

Solar power is a promising source of energy to use for base stations in mobile networks in order to make telecommunication systems environmentally friendly. Solar energy is an economic and ecological source to supply mobile base stations, although its efficiency is depending on geographical location and the continuously changing weather conditions. In this paper new methods are introduced to calibrate solar cells and improve the availability of base stations by controlling consumption and energy storage. The developed power management algorithms can help to improve reliability of mobile services and provide acceptable quality of services for the customers.
