BTS power consumption

The total BTS level consumption is comprised of the following blocks:

Figure 15:

BTS level power consumption blocks

(*) Fixed consumption excluding the impact of variable fan speed (**) Varies depending on "per TRX power" setting and the number of active time slots The total BTS level power consumption can be estimated by adding up these blocks:
1. 2. 3. ESMx consumption (including the FIxx transmission card) RF Module/RRH idle consumption (with no RF output) Branch (or pipe) level consumption

The same applies for BTS power consumption when RRH (FHxx) is used. Note that RRH has 2 branches, each branch has one TX/RX antenna. The branch level consumption varies for different configurations and depends on factors such as "per TRX power" setting and number of active time slots. BTS heat dissipation can be estimated by subtracting total TX power from total BTS intake power. The BTS power consumption figures given below are measured under the following conditions: Based on the measurements taken with ESMB/C, RF Module (FXxx) and RRH Module (FHxA) with BTS SW EX3.1 MP1.0 and EX3.1 PP2.1. Power Level (PL) =0 (maximum power), room temperature, dedicated 2G mode with GMSK modulation, 54 VDC power supply, Optimized Cooling profile (default). Measurements done in BTS Network Mode (under BSC control), TCH TRX(s) activated via 2G Flexi BTS Site Manager menu Test and TRX Continuous Transmission (activates all timeslots). The RF Module idle consumption measured when BTS (sector) or BCF object is locked on BSC. Fans rotating at typical speed at room temperature. The maximum fan speed can increase module level power consumption by 20 W. Note that RRH modules use convection cooling and do not have fans.
The following BTS level power consumption values are an estimate and a tolerance of 10% compared to a real measured value is expected.

For examples of calculating power consumption or heat dissipation, see table Examples of power consumption calculations. Note that the [letters] such as [A] in the table BTS power consumption, are used for examples given in the table Examples of power consumption calculations.
