Technical FAQs 4

How does mobile data traffic affect the energy consumption of 5G base stations?

The explosive growth of mobile data traffic has resulted in a significant increase in the energy consumption of 5G base stations (BSs).

Does BS reduce energy consumption?

The communication traffic of BSs changes over time, and it assumed that the load time interval and the time-of-use electricity price are fixed, therefore, the minimization of the BS power consumption leads to the minimization of energy consumption, which further minimizes the electricity cost.

How much energy does a BS consume?

In the BS itself, the air interface i.e., radio and power amplifier (PA) consumes approximately 50%, while the digital signal processing consumes approximately 15% of the total energy of the network . The term “Green Cellular Network” has gained huge popularity since the current telecom industry is more cautious about the improvements in EE.

How BS affect the energy consumption of a cellular network?

To contribute to the expansion of mobile traffic, a large number of BS are required. In a regular cellular network, the BSs consume more than half of the total energy, therefore their increased numbers have a significant influence on the overall energy consumption.
