Energy efficiency performance of distributed antenna systems
| Description | The Green Radio project as a whole developed a suite of novel wireless communication techniques which greatly improved energy efficiency. For a cellular mobile phone network this improvement in efficiency was over a factor of 10. This has benefits for reducing both the operating costs of the network and its CO2 footprint. |
| Exploitation Route | The energy saving techniques researched in this project can be applied to a variety of wireless devices and networks to save energy. Network operators can reconfigure their networks and device manufacturers can improve their products both to reduce cost and CO2 emissions. |
