Access networks consume the major part of overall telecom network energy. It is necessary to evolve energy-efficient network architecture to reduce their energy consumption and also to reduce the overall electromagnetic pollution induced environmental hazards. The energy consumed by base stations (BS) is a major chunk of the total energy consumption in a cellular network and hence reducing the number of base stations has a direct impact on energy consumption. One obvious way to make the cellular networks more power efficient and sustain high capacity is by decreasing the propagation distance between mobile nodes and the base station, hence reducing the transmission power and eliminating the power amplifier (PA) requirements. The concept of Radio over Fiber connected Small-Cell Networks (SCN) architecture with dense deployment of self-organizing, low cost, low power base stations is proposed to meet a true green mobile network. The link power budget for WCDMA and HiPERLAN2 systems were carried out and validated with the support of digitized RoF link architecture for 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz RF band. The power budget concludes that a very low power of 3.75dBm is sufficient to establish a link between mobile user and remote antenna unit, and hence endorse the green concept..

Active accounts were imported to the new platform and assigned a random password by default. In order to access your account you need to access the login page and go through the Lost Password dialog (involves the system sending you an email with instructions) in order to reset your password. This step is necessary as passwords are kept in hashed form and the new platform uses modern hashing algorithms incompatible with the previous ones.
