Summary

• What is new: DensQuer introduces a strategic base-station densification strategy to significantly reduce the carbon footprint caused by the last-mile wireless communication between smartphones and base-stations.
• Why this is important: The dramatic increase in carbon footprint due to smartphone batteries and base-stations required for last-mile wireless connectivity.
• What the research proposes: Replacing a single larger base-station with multiple smaller ones to improve energy efficiency and reduce carbon footprint, utilizing new hardware power rails in smartphones.
• Results: Approximately 3x power savings in the base-station network, a reduction in mobile transmit power by 10-15 dB, and about a 50% increase in smartphone battery life.
