Do cellular network operators prioritize energy-efficient solutions for base stations?
Recognizing this, Mobile Network Operators are actively prioritizing EE for both network maintenance and environmental stewardship in future cellular networks. The paper aims to provide an outline of energy-efficient solutions for base stations of wireless cellular networks.
What are the components of a base station?
A typical base station consists of different sub-systems which can consume energy as shown in Fig. 4. These sub-systems include baseband (BB) processors, transceiver (TRX) (comprising power amplifier (PA), RF transmitter and receiver), feeder cable and antennas, and air conditioner ( Ambrosy et al., ).
Why do we need a 5G base station?
The limited penetration capability of millimeter waves necessitates the deployment of significantly more 5G base stations (the next generation Node B, gNB) than their 4G counterparts to ensure network coverage . Notably, the power consumption of a gNB is very high, up to 3–4 times of the power consumption of a 4G base stations (BSs).
How REs can be used in a cellular network?
RES can be employed for not only cutting down on the harmful GHGs but also for decreasing the energy cost of traditional networks. A BS is the most energy hungry element in a cellular network and consumes upto 60% of the energy consumed by a network of macro BSs.
What is base station energy consumption index (ECI)?
