Abstract: Day by day the number of mobile users and the network operators increasing precipitously which fallouts the
demand in energy efficiency. Green radio technology prefers environment friendly approach towards the mobile
communication. The mobile towers are increasing in an extraordinary manner thereby increasing the radiation of
electromagnetic waves as well as the burning of coal to generate the power. The source for towers is based on the power
requirement. In our project, depending upon the number of users the sub towers are activated. When enormous amount of
power is produced and consumed, the emission of carbon dioxide, sulphur dioxide are increased which harms our
environment. So to avoid the problems due to the mobile communication system, we proposed a model in which the power
is saved and at the same time the power is produced using solar energy and wind energy which also saves our environment
from the harmful effects. The whole thing in our project is monitored using IOT. This project is developed for modification
in mobile infrastructure for energy conservation andCo2reduction (carbon credit).
Keywords: Co2 reduction, conservation of power, green radio, mobile users, IoT

analyses on the corresponding energy consumptions of
digital subscriber line, hybrid fiber coax networks, PONs,
fiber to the node, point-to-point optical systems, UMTS
(WCDMA), and WiMAX. The authors conclude that PONs
and point-to-point optical networks are the most energyefficient access solutions at high access rates.
III. EXISTING SYSTEM
The towers are controlled by the control room by
powering it according to the number of users. In some
systems they have only generated power using solar panel
without managing the tower. One more technology that have
been used is the multiple input and multiple output to
reserve the power and to use the reserved power. Various
techniques and protocols are used to save the power
consumed by the tower.
IV. PROPOSED SYSTEM
Here we propose a model using the green radio
concept in terms of mobile communication, which reduces
the harmful gases emission and make the efficient usage of
bandwidth. And also the generation of power using solar and
wind energy and it is consumed which reduces the intake
from main power station. The towers of the subsystem are
managed by means of wireless. We introduce a method of
monitoring the status of the towers using Internet of things.
V. HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS
SINGLE BOARD COMPUTER
Single-board computer (SBC) is a complete
computer built on a single circuit board with microprocessor,
memory, input/output (I/O) and other features required of a
functional computer. Single board computers were made for
demo and development purpose, for educational systems, or
for use as embedded computer controllers. Many types of
home computers or portable computer integrate all their
functions onto a single printed circuit board.
A single board computer is different from a
personal computer by the way it is designed. A single board
computer has all of the elements of a complete computer
contained within one single circuit board. On a desktop
computer, the processor, memory, storage, input and output
devices and other basic components attach via sockets on the
motherboard. On a single board design, everything is selfcontained. Single board computers are also expanded in their
capabilities differently than desktop computers. On a
desktop computer, adding capability to the motherboard is
typically accomplished by plugging a peripheral device into
a slot on the motherboard. Single board computers come in a
huge range of different capacities. Because some of them are
used to control very simple processes, some single board
computers are very slow and limited compared to the
average desktop computer.
In many cases, single board computers are plugged
into a backplane. The backplane allows for input and output
devices to be attached to the computer. Single board
computers are frequently used in rack systems, which allows
for reliable and fast integration into a system.
Single board computers have all of the capacity
required to perform most automation tasks and specialized
designs are widely available. Single board computers are
very small. This allows them to be embedded in devices
where space is very limited. The computers are also very
efficient, giving them an edge where saving on power is
concerned. In addition to these advantages, single board
computers are self-contained, making them very reliable
under trying environmental conditions.
A single-board configuration reduces a system's
overall cost, by reducing the number of circuit boards
required, and by eliminating connectors and bus driver

circuits that would otherwise be used. By putting all the
functions on one board, a smaller overall system can be
obtained, for example, as in notebook computers. Single
board computers are most commonly used in industrial
situations where they are used in rack mount format for
process control or embedded within other devices to provide
control and interfacing. There are different types of single
board computer. Raspberry pi is the one which is used in this
project.
The RaspberryPi is a credit-card-sized computer
that plugs into your TV and a keyboard. It is a capable little
computer which can be used in electronics projects, and for
many of the things that your desktop PC does, like
spreadsheets, word processing, browsing the internet, and
playing games. The original Raspberry Pi is based on
the BroadcomBCM2835 System on a Chip (SoC), which

is converted into a known frequency. The unknown signal is
generated by the astable multi vibrator. Responder frequency
decides the type such as type of a wave which is decided by
the Schmitt trigger, the amplitude of the signal and finally
the duty cycle. Finally the frequency is converted into an
equivalent voltage using the frequency to voltage converter
circuit. Finally the responder frequency circuit consists of
transistor coupler, Schmitt trigger, differentiator and an F2V

Thermistor is made up of Bismuth oxide -B type. From
this we can also get the Humidity value. This will control
A/C and cooling fan according to the temperature.
HUMIDITY SENSING UNIT
Humidity sensing unit also consists of thermistor as
same as the temperature sensing which is used to sense the
humidity based on which the power is managed for the
control room as said before. Humidity is measured by
measuring the temperature. Likewise during a seasonal
change the tower problem will occur probably hence to
avoid such uncomfort the humidity sensor will intimate the
nearby tower to share its bandwidth so that the users are
benefited and will not suffer from a signal problem.
LIGHT SENSING UNIT
Light sensing circuit uses a main component as a
light dependent resistor and a potential divider .This unit is
placed in the control room, used to control the power
amplifier. This unit senses the light intensity, based on that it
controls the switching of light inside the control room which
saves the power consumption.
Input is given by Function generator or astable
multivibrator. Transistor BC107 is used to shape the
incoming wave. CD4093 is used as Schmitt trigger.LM331

RELAY DRIVING UNIT

TEMPERATURE SENSING UNIT
The temperature sensing unit consists of a potential
divider and a thermistor. The thermistor is a temperature
dependent resistor or a passive transducer. From the
thermistor it is given to the low pass filter and then to the
SBC through the analog port. This is used to sense the
humidity based on which the power is managed for the
control room as said before. Likewise during a seasonal
change the tower problem will occur probably hence to
avoid such uncomfort the humidity sensor will intimate the
nearby tower to share its bandwidth so that the users are
benefited and will not suffer from a signal problem.

Output is obtained from the port of SBC that is
raspberry pi. BC 107 is as relay driver. 4 relays are
connected to each collector of transistor which controls the
sub tower in wireless mode.
TRANSMITTER AND RECIEVER SECTION
In transmitter side we send responder frequency
when power amplifier once reached 85% and during the
rainy season based on the humidity the responder frequency
is given when power amplifier reaches 70% which ensures
the signal strength. This frequency is send at near BS based
on priority. Responder frequency is received on the receiver
side of the Base station. Then the BS instructs to switch ON
it. Each BS having transmitter as well as receiver.

TWO METHODS FOR GENERATING CURRENT
Wind turbine
Solar panel
Current is generated using the solar panel and the
wind turbine. The produced power from these two are
merged together to a battery and used when power is off or
instead of the generator. Polarity control is used to block the
reverse operation. From the wind energy and the solar
energy, power is generated and stored in the battery and
when the battery is fully charged it will reverse the current to
the wind turbine or solar panel which works as motor or

In the transmitter side carrier frequency and the
modulation frequency is given to the encoder, which
encodes the signal and transmits to the receiver. In the
receiver side, the demodulator demodulates the encoded
signal and decodes the signal. In the receiver side up to four
sub towers can be connected and can be powered on using
the wireless transmitter.
