Get a quoteAccording to the mobile telephone network (MTN), which is a multinational mobile telecommunications company, report (Walker, 2020), the dense layer of small cell and more antennas requirements will cause energy costs to grow because of up to twice or more power consumption of a 5G base station than the power of a 4G base station.
There are several potential advantages of RE in 5G mobile networks. First, for the network operator, RE can reduce the cost of energy consumption by deploying solar or wind energy base stations. RE enabled BSs can use solar energy for operation in the daytime, along with storing it in rechargeable batteries.
This study presents an overview of sustainable and green cellular base stations (BSs), which account for most of the energy consumed in cellular networks. We review the architecture of the BS and the power consumption model, and then summarize the trends in green cellular network research over the past decade.
The advent of the ultra-dense 5G network and a vast number of connected devices will bring about the obvious issues of significantly increased system energy consumption, operational expenses, and carbon dioxide emissions.
Network densification, one of the key technologies in 5G, can significantly improve the network capacity through the installation of additional cellular small cell base stations (SCBSs) forming small cell networks (SCNs) using the spectrum reuse policy to meet the increasing demand (Samarakoon et al., 2016a).
To properly examine an energy-optimised network, it is very crucial to select the most suitable EE metric for 5G networks. EE is the ratio of transmitted bits for every joule of energy expended. Therefore, while measuring it, different perspectives need to be considered such as from the network or user’s point of view.
