A measurement-based model of energy consumption in femtocells

We report detailed measurements of the electrical energy consumption of a commercial 3G femtocell basestation. We propose a simple analytic model that accurately fits our measured data and which can be used to predict energy consumption as a function of the offered load and datagram size.
