Özet:

 

Mobile network operators (MNOs) concurrently use different generations of wireless technologies. The base  stations (BSs) of different technology generations are co-located in order to decrease operational costs. Furthermore,  the MNOs cooperate in order to co-site their base stations. Such an urban site includes more than 25 actively radiating  antennas on average with different frequencies and modulations. Electromagnetic radiation (EMR) measurements  performed in such an environment may have reduced accuracy. In this paper, the authors propose a new approach  for the measurement of EMR in multiple mobile technology interwoven urban BS sites, where more than one operator  exists. The maintenance activities are also investigated with their frequency of occurrence and their duration for EMR  exposure assessment and the statistics are reported for the first time in academia. On sampling the signal strength and  radiation in different positions for the tested urban sites, electrical field strengths as high as 90 V/m were observed. The  results are classified according to frequency bands and possible technologies. The probable bioelectromagnetic effects of  such EMR exposure on maintenance workers are discussed with the provision of statistical data of co-located BSs and  their maintenance activities. A new occupational EMR exposure risk assessment approach is proposed by taking into  consideration the massive multiinput multioutput (MIMO) antenna technology.
