Can 3GPP reduce base station energy consumption in 5G NR BS?
Aiming at minimizing the base station (BS) energy consumption under low and medium load scenarios, the 3GPP recently completed a Release 18 study on energy saving techniques for 5G NR BSs . A broad range of techniques was evaluated in terms of the obtained network energy saving (NES) gain and their impact to the user-perceived throughput (UPT).
How does mobile data traffic affect the energy consumption of 5G base stations?
The explosive growth of mobile data traffic has resulted in a significant increase in the energy consumption of 5G base stations (BSs).
How much power does a 5G BS consume?
According to data from China Mobile, the power consumption of a typical 5G macro BS exceeds 4 kW, which is approximately four times that of 4G. Considering the high deployment density of 5G BSs, the overall power consumption may reach 12 times the consumption of 4G networks [ 1 ].
Can 5G reduce energy consumption?
However, the energy consumption of 5G networks is today a concern. In recent years, the design of new methods for decreasing the RAN power consumption has attracted interest from both the research community and standardization bodies, and many energy savings solutions have been proposed.
How to evaluate a 5G energy-optimised network?
To properly examine an energy-optimised network, it is very crucial to select the most suitable EE metric for 5G networks. EE is the ratio of transmitted bits for every joule of energy expended. Therefore, while measuring it, different perspectives need to be considered such as from the network or user’s point of view.
