Dear Damien

thanks for your trouble

In ideal condition,
Base station (BS) needs roughly 20 watt to send 1 Mbps
but some researchers in Green Touch estimates that
current cellular networks consume
3887 watt (urban area) and 1296 watt (dense urban area) per Mbps.

Take notice that the above value depends on
how BSs are deployed, how BS consumps power
and how traffic fluctuates in time domain.

Best regards
