Is 5G base station power consumption accurate?

[email protected]—The energy consumption of the fifth generation (5G) of mobile networks is one of the major co cerns of the telecom industry. However, there is not currently an accurate and tractable approach to evaluate 5G base stations (BSs) power consumption. In this article, we pr

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.

How do engineers design 5G base stations?

Engineers designing 5G base stations must contend with energy use, weight, size, and heat, which impact design decisions. 5G New Radio (NR) uses Multi-User massive-MIMO (MU-MIMO), Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB), and beamforming with millimeter wave (mmWave) spectrum up to 71 GHz.

What should be considered in a 5G network?

The further completion of the map of power models (Fig. 2) and systematization of their features as well as the comparison is also part of the future work. Lastly, the aspects of computing (network function virtualization) and functional split options of the RAN need to be considered for 5G networks as well.
