The high power consumption problem of 5G base stations
📌

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).

📌

Is energy consumption a concern for 5G networks?

Abstract—The fifth generation of the Radio Access Network (RAN) has brought new services, technologies, and paradigms with the corresponding societal benefits. However, the energy consumption of 5G networks is today a concern.

📌

How will 5G impact MNOs?

Nevertheless, the overall energy usage by 5G base stations needs to be reduced as it will account for approximately 2%−3% of total UK's energy consumption in . Energy costs account for 19% - 23% of RAN OpEx, which will seriously affect MNOs’ mainstream profits.
