As base stations are currently large energy consumers, it is important to investigate their energy efficiency in order to develop more energy-efficient wireless access networks in the future. This study investigates how energy-efficient LTE-Advanced networks can be designed compared to LTE networks. Therefore, a power consumption model is developed for both the LTE and LTE-Advanced macrocell and femtocell base station, along with a suitable energy efficiency measure. The influence on the energy efficiency of the three main functionalities added to LTE-Advanced is investigated: carrier aggregation, heterogeneous networks, and extended MIMO support. Our study shows that these functionalities improve the energy efficiency: up to 400% and 450% by using, respectively, carrier aggregation and MIMO. For bit rates higher than 20 Mbps, the macrocell base station is the most energy-efficient. Below 20 Mbps, the most energy-efficient base station type depends on the bit rate.
