Radio network planning and human exposure to electromagnetic fields

[摘要] This paper analyzes the effect of a change in cell size and of transmit powercontrol on the human exposure to electromagnetic fields. In a simplifiednetwork configuration the well accepted COST-Hata model is considered toassess the path loss. It is shown that increasing the base station densitywill not generally raise the exposure but can rather help to lower itsignificantly. The exposure due to base stations is hardly affected by allowing atransmit power reduction at the base station for individual links. In contrast tothis, it is demonstrated that transmit power control at the mobile station isa helpful means to lower the exposure efficiently.
