Technical FAQs 4

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 5G use?

The power consumption per unit of traffic (Watt/bit) is greatly decreased, but the power consumption of 5G increases greatly compared to that of 4G. Noticeably, in the 5G era, the maximum power consumption of a 64T64R AAU is 1000–1400 W, and that of a BBU is about 2000 W. Multiple bands in one site will be the typical configuration in the 5G era.

Does 5G increase energy consumption?

However, this technological leap comes with a substantial increase in energy consumption. Compared to its predecessor, the fourth-generation (4G) network, the energy consumption of the 5G network is approximately three times higher .

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.
