abstract = "The reduction of the power consumption of mobile communication system is an important issue nowadays. Traditional base station structure is considered to consume too much energy and at the same time, distributed antenna system (DAS) has been recognized as an energy-efficient base station architecture. In this paper, we investigate power consumption model of both structures. We compare the power consumption of serving a random user at the cell edge when varying the cell radius and also investigate the power consumption of both systems when the number of antenna increased. Results show that (1) DAS costs less energy in every scenario and has a better cell-edge performance. (2) Improving the efficiency of power amplifier (PA) or reducing the average distance between the antenna and the user is the key factor of reducing the power consumption of DAS architecture.",
