Base stations represent the main contributor to the energy consumption of a mobile cellular network. Since traffic load in mobile networks significantly varies during a working or weekend day, it is important to quantify the influence of these variations on the base station power consumption. Therefore, this paper investigates changes in the instantaneous power consumption of GSM (Global System...

introduction: over the last decade, exposure to electromagnetic waves due to base station antennas has increased. this study was planned to evaluate the effects of different electrical field strengths with 950 mhz waves of the gsm mobile phone system on the excitatory postsynaptic potentiation (epsp) slope of the dentate gyrus long-term potentiation (ltp). material and methods: twenty four naiv...

Mobile phones are two-way radios that emit electromagnetic radiation in microwave range. As the number of mobile phone users has reached 6 billion, the bioeffects of exposure to mobile phone radiation and mobile phone electromagnetic interference with electronic equipment have received more attention, globally. As self-monitoring of blood glucose can be a beneficial part of diabetes control, ho...

background: whether exposure to common electromagnetic fields affects human health adversely has been a controversial issue. the main goal of this study was to assess the role of 900 mhz microwave radiations with different specific absorption rates (sars), emitted from some widely used cell phones, on the induction of adaptive response in male balb/c mice after receiving a lethal dose of gamma ...

the place of information in addressing market access and participation limitation, which hinders farmer’s welfare and poverty reduction efforts in many developing countries, cannot be over-emphasized. this study therefore examined the use of mobile phone in the marketing of food crops among farming households in rural south east, nigeria. a multi stage sampling procedures was used in the select...

Background: Pre-exposure to radiofrequency radiations of mobile phones would significantly increase the survival rate of exposed animals compared to those exposed to a lethal dose of gamma radiation alone. Stimulation of the immune system is believed to be a key mechanism for the induction of this phenomenon, the so-called “adaptive response.” The immune system protects organisms against in...

Models for exposure assessment of high frequency electromagnetic fields from mobile phone base stations need the technical data of the base stations as input. One of these parameters, the Equivalent Radiated Power (ERP), is a time-varying quantity, depending on communication traffic. In order to determine temporal averages of the exposure, corresponding averages of the ERP have to be available....

Human populations are increasingly exposed to microwave/radiofrequency (RF) emissions from wireless communication technology, including mobile phones and their base stations. By searching PubMed, we identified a total of 10 epidemiological studies that assessed for putative health effects of mobile phone base stations. Seven of these studies explored the association between base station proximi...

Mobile phone already allowed to be used in some commercial airlines and the first standard to be deployed is 1800MHz GSM band. After Many studies and debate, the regulation authorities have spelled out the requirement for picocell and mobile phone to be used in aircraft so as not to be interfered with avionics system in the air. The main objective is to limit the mobile phone at the lowest tran...

Exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic fields has raised scientific and public concern regarding possible adverse effects to people exposed to such radiation. At cellular mobile communication frequencies, the most important parameter used to assess human exposure to electromagnetic fields is SAR (Specific Absorption Rate). This paper will firstly address two exposure scenarios related to a...
