Is 5G base station power consumption accurate?

[email protected]—The energy consumption of the fifth generation (5G) of mobile networks is one of the major co cerns of the telecom industry. However, there is not currently an accurate and tractable approach to evaluate 5G base stations (BSs) power consumption. In this article, we pr

Why are small cells a new part of 5G?

The need to increase the number of base stations to provide wider and more dense coverage has led to the creation of small cells. Small cells are a new part of the 5G platform that increase network capacity and speed, while also having a lower deployment cost than macrocells.

Is artificial neural networks a good power consumption model for 5G AAUs?

In this paper, we present a power consumption model for 5G AAUs based on artificial neural networks. We demonstrate that this model achieves good estimation performance, and it is able to capture the benefits of energy saving when dealing with the complexity of multi-carrier base stations architectures.

Is there a power consumption model for realistic 5G AAUs?

s.VI. CONCLUSIONSIn this paper, we presented a novel power consumption model for realistic 5G AAUs, which builds on large data collection campaign. At first, we proposed an ANN archi-tecture, which allows modelling mu

Can 5G reduce energy consumption?

However, the energy consumption of 5G networks is today a concern. In recent years, the design of new methods for decreasing the RAN power consumption has attracted interest from both the research community and standardization bodies, and many energy savings solutions have been proposed.

Is energy consumption a concern for 5G networks?

Abstract—The fifth generation of the Radio Access Network (RAN) has brought new services, technologies, and paradigms with the corresponding societal benefits. However, the energy consumption of 5G networks is today a concern.
