Get a quoteIn this work, the whole method is applied to broadband RANs in Belgium for six scenarios of 5G deployment from 2020 to 2025. This paper is organized in four sections.
The power consumption of a single 5G station is 2.5 to 3.5 times higher than that of a single 4G station. The main factor behind this increase in 5G power consumption is the high power usage of the active antenna unit (AAU). Under a full workload, a single station uses nearly 3700W.
The bottom-up model of 4G RANs in Belgium is built by analyzing the RAN deployment of one Belgian operator. Empirical power models of 4G BSs are then established using on-site measurements. Next, a prospective power model of 5G BSs is proposed based on technical and practical assumptions.
We apply this method to the RANs in Belgium over the 2020–2025 period for six scenarios of 5G deployment. Results show that the static energy consumption accounts for a major part of the total RAN energy consumption, which implies that concurrently operating 4G and 5G RANs consumes more energy than using only one generation.
Although the absolute value of the power consumption of 5G base stations is increasing, their energy efficiency ratio is much lower than that of 4G stations. In other words, with the same power consumption, the network capacity of 5G will be as dozens of times larger than 4G, so the power consumption per bit is sharply reduced.
Prospective model parameters of 5G BSs are given in Table 4. Among numerous existing energy saving techniques for 5G BSs , the sleep mode (SM) is a feature that reduces the idle-state power consumption [17, 23]. When there is no traffic, this feature sequentially disables BS components over time, leading to sleep powers of different depths.
