5G base station chips must be compatible with 4G, 5G, and future 6G networks, supporting multi-band and technology standard switching to ensure seamless connection between generations of networks.
To solve the problems of unreasonable deployment and high construction costs caused by the rapid increase of the fifth generation (5 G) base stations, this article proposes a 5 G base station deployment optimization method that considers coverage and cost weights for certain areas in Kowloon, Hong Kong.
One of the biggest challenges with 5G is its energy consumption. A typical 5G base station consumes three times more power than a 4G station. This is due to the need for higher frequencies, greater bandwidth, and more antennas to ensure connectivity.
Because 5G operates at higher frequencies, it requires a much denser network of base stations. In urban environments, this means installing 10 times more base stations per square kilometer compared to 4G. This presents both opportunities and challenges. On one hand, denser networks lead to better speeds and connectivity.
