📌

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 ].
