Abstract :
Since the introduction of cellular communications in the early ´80s, the demand for two-way mobile communication services has increased tremendously. Today there are over 4 billion mobile users and 4.6 million radio base station sites worldwide. This rapid growth of the cellular mobile industry has been at the price of increased energy consumption and a sizable carbon footprint.
