Topology Model Of Environmentally Friendly Based Base Station Base Station In Medan City
Introduction
Medan City, the fourth most populous city in Indonesia, is facing a significant challenge in managing its 5,000 base transceiver stations (BTS) antennas. These antennas, built by cellular operators, are scattered throughout the city, often located near settlements, shopping centers, schools, hospitals, and places of worship. However, the electromagnetic radiation (EMF) emitted by the BTS antennas can reach a radius of 3 to 9 kilometers, posing a serious threat to the environment and public health in the BTS coverage area (CA). The intensity of the EMF radiation exceeding the threshold (4.5 watts/m2 for the frequency of 900 MHz and 9 watts/m2 for 1800 MHz) is a pressing concern that requires immediate attention.
The Problem of Environmentally Unfriendly BTS Antennas in Medan
The majority of BTS antennas in Medan are above the threshold at a distance of 100 meters, given that the spatial regulations and the Medan City area have not regulated the development of environmentally friendly BTS. This lack of regulation has led to the proliferation of BTS antennas in residential areas, posing a significant risk to public health and the environment. The negative impacts of EMF radiation on human health, including increased cancer risk, neurological damage, and reproductive problems, are well-documented. Furthermore, the environmental impact of BTS antennas, including the destruction of natural habitats and the disruption of ecosystems, cannot be ignored.
The Need for an Environmentally Friendly BTS Topology Model
In response to the pressing need for an environmentally friendly BTS topology model, this study proposes a Mixed-Linear Programming (MILP) mathematical approach that combines three important aspects:
1. BTS Location Selection (BTSL)
The first aspect of the model is the BTS Location Selection (BTSL) module, which determines the optimal location for the construction of new BTS or existing BTS relocation. The chosen location considers the safe distance factor from settlements, schools, and other public facilities. This module ensures that BTS antennas are located in areas that minimize the impact on the environment and public health.
2. Channel Frequency Assignment (FCA)
The second aspect of the model is the Channel Frequency Assignment (FCA) module, which effectively sets optimal channel frequency allocation for each BTS, minimizing interference and maximizing signal quality. This module ensures that BTS antennas operate within the safe power density threshold, minimizing the risk of EMF radiation exposure.
3. Network Connectivity
The third aspect of the model is the Network Connectivity module, which guarantees connections between BTS, as well as BTS connections to the main network, by minimizing costs and ensuring optimal connectivity. This module ensures that BTS antennas are connected to the main network, providing seamless communication services to users.
Benefits of the Environmentally Friendly BTS Topology Model
The proposed model offers several benefits, including:
Minimizing Costs
The model helps minimize the cost of development and operations of BTS by avoiding the development of new BTS that is unnecessary and optimizing the use of existing BTS.
Improving Service Quality
The model guarantees the optimal quality of telecommunications services by minimizing signal interference and increasing network connectivity.
Protecting the Environment
The model ensures BTS development and operations do not cause environmental pollution and negative impacts on public health.
Conclusion
The proposed topology model of environmentally friendly based base station in Medan City is a significant contribution to the efforts of the Medan City Government in organizing an environmentally friendly-based BTS telephone bts tower. With this model, the government can build more comprehensive and effective regulations in managing BTS development, so as to guarantee the quality of telecommunications services, environmental sustainability, and public health in the city of Medan.
Recommendations
Based on the findings of this study, the following recommendations are made:
Regulatory Framework
The Medan City Government should establish a regulatory framework that requires BTS operators to follow the proposed topology model.
Public Awareness
The government should raise public awareness about the risks associated with EMF radiation and the importance of environmentally friendly BTS development.
Monitoring and Evaluation
The government should establish a monitoring and evaluation system to ensure that BTS operators comply with the proposed topology model and regulatory framework.
By implementing the proposed topology model and regulatory framework, the Medan City Government can ensure that BTS development and operations are environmentally friendly and do not pose a risk to public health.
