The article discusses how to reduce the electric consumption of land-mobile radio systems. It suggests that electrical power saving can be achieved by using link-budget engineering and by balancing the uplink and downlink radio paths. The article explains that it is the base stations and repeaters that consume large portion of the electrical power in a wireless communication system.
