Calculating Limits of Base Station Emission Power in GSM

This paper compares the influence of various factors on the output power of each GSM channel and connection, and on the output power of whole base transceiver station in GSM network. The considered factors are the influence of sending signal only when speech exists (DTX), implementation of power control in signal sending, influence of users' distribution in the range of coverage of base station, the power of one intra-cell connection and the power of one half-rate connection. It is analyzed how emission power of base station can be reduced by implementing various methods in signal sending.
