Do 5G base stations consume a lot of energy?
The energy consumption of the fifth generation (5G) of mobile networks is one of the major concerns of the telecom industry. However, there is not currently an accurate and tractable approach to evaluate 5G base stations' (BSs') power consumption.
Should power consumption models be used in 5G networks?
This restricts the potential use of the power models, as their validity and accuracy remain unclear. Future work includes the further development of the power consumption models to form a unified evaluation framework that enables the quantification and optimization of energy consumption and energy efficiency of 5G networks.
Will 5G power micro data centers?
“Schneider Electric predicts that with 5G, the power distribution will require hundreds of thousands or even millions of micro data centers globally,” according to MTN. "Powering these sites will add to the telco utility bill and add a layer of complexity to network operations as edge power costs need to be minimized."
Does a balanced dataset improve energy prediction of 5G base stations?
For energy prediction of 5G base stations, this thesis finds that using a more balanced dataset, in terms of the number of samples for each product, has a positive impact for the ANN and the Gradient Boosted Trees model while the linear regression performs worse.
How can we improve the energy eficiency of 5G networks?
To improve the energy eficiency of 5G networks, it is imperative to develop sophisticated models that accurately reflect the influence of base station (BS) attributes and operational conditions on energy usage.
