Influence of power control in the mobile network on the radiation level

Abstract

Overview

This paper evaluates the effects of transmitted power control on radiation intensity within mobile network cells. The study compares three cell models:

• Without power control
• With standard power control
• With power control plus channel reallocation

Relative reductions in radiation are assessed with several calculation examples.

Findings

• Reducing emitted power not only saves energy and decreases interference but also lowers electromagnetic radiation within the cell.
• The reduction in radiation is proportional to the increase in number of frequency carriers, and depends on user distribution and environmental signal attenuation coefficient.
• Additional radiation reduction is achievable by allocating channels based on user position, especially when there are fewer frequency carriers, reduced traffic, and higher attenuation coefficients.

Conclusion

Controlling emission power in mobile networks is a significant factor in reducing electromagnetic field (EMF) radiation, directly supporting EMF safety. Channel reallocation further amplifies this benefit, thereby reinforcing the link between network design and public health.
