Can communication and power coordination planning improve communication quality of service?

Our study introduces a communications and power coordination planning (CPCP) model that encompasses both distributed energy resources and base stations to improve communication quality of service.

How does a base station work?

As shown in Figure S3 each user accesses a base station, and the BS then allocates a channel to each new user when there is remaining channel capacity. If all of the channel capacity of a BS is occupied, a user cannot access this BS and must instead access another BS that is farther away.

Why are power systems and communication systems increasingly coupled?

Therefore, power systems and communication systems are increasingly coupled. A power system supplies energy, and a communication system meets the demand for information exchange. A BS is the main intermediary between a communication network and a power network.

What is the role of communication infrastructure in modern power systems?

This research underscores the crucial role of efficient communication infrastructure in modern power systems and presents a comprehensive approach that can be used to plan and operate both communication and power systems, ultimately leading to more resilient, efficient, and reliable networks.

What is the difference between a power system and a communication system?

A power system supplies energy, and a communication system meets the demand for information exchange. A BS is the main intermediary between a communication network and a power network. For the communication network, it is an important transfer point for wireless information transmission.

Who is responsible for establishing a Communication BS?

The communications operator is responsible for the construction of BSs. However, the communication operator builds the BS to complement the 5G signal, and the establishment of a communication BS does not mean the establishment of a dedicated power wireless network.
