From the trends and challenges mentioned above, we can derive three key general requirements for the 5G infrastructure: • High efficiency. Achieving high efficiency is the best way to reduce heat dissipation (due to high power consumption compared to 4G) and operational expenses (OPEX). • Re-use of existing infrastructure.
The 5G NR standard has been designed based on the knowledge of the typical traffic activity in radio networks as well as the need to support sleep states in radio network equipment. By putting the base station into a sleep state when there is no traffic to serve i.e. switching off hardware components, it will consume less energy.
Parameters used for the evaluations with this cellular base station power model. The 5G NR standard has been designed based on the knowledge of the typical traffic activity in radio networks as well as the need to support sleep states in radio network equipment.
5G New Radio (NR) is designed to enable denser network deployments and simultaneously deliver increased energy efficiency, thus reducing both operational costs and environmental impacts. Before we explore the new technical features, let’s look more closely at how the existing 4G LTE radio networks function.
