ATIS 0600015.06.2011

In a wireless access network, the Radio Base Stations (RBS) have the highest cumulative energy consumption because of the large number of RBSs in a network. This document defines the Telecommunications Energy Efficiency Ratio (TEER) metric for a Radio Base Station. The TEER metric addresses RBS throughput per Watt of input power drawn by the RBS. With the application of this standard, the user will report the TEER metric as well as the required information within the reporting forms. This document also provides a RF Power Efficiency ratio within the measurement procedures. The testing methodology to obtain the data that contributes to the TEER metric is also addressed. The power consumption of the radio network control node (RNC or BSC) is not considered in this document. However, since functionality located in radio network control nodes may affect the RBS power consumption, these factors are taken into account in the metric. This standard also provides the guidance for how equipment vendors shall respond to a TEER request based on a specific application by making use of relevant data from laboratory or field testing.
