Smaller 5G towers to increase the battery life of smartphones
By MYBRANDBOOK
Researchers from the University of California have suggested using smaller 5G towers as part of a plan to increase smartphone battery life in cities by up to 50%. This strategy might lead to three times the power savings and a fifty percent increase in battery life, claims New Scientist.
The phones would not need to exert as much effort to connect because the networks would be situated closer together and at lower elevations. This change may lead to a smaller carbon footprint for cities as phones would need to be charged less often.
According to a researcher at the university, Agrim Gupta said that an identical idea was put up during the 4G era but switching from tower to tower for a moving device wasn’t possible with the technology. With today’s smartphones and the G network it is possible now. “Your [phone’s] battery lifetime could be 50 per cent more. So if your battery was lasting 12 hours, it will last 18 hours now, because of this network,” said Gupta.
The researchers also ran simulations using 3D city models and found that to make the project work, we’d need five times more towers than we have currently, but they’d only need to be 15 meters tall. For reference, the average height of 5G towers is 60 meters.
