Why does 5g base station consume so much power and how to
5G base stations use high power consumption and high RF signals, which require more signal processing for digital and electromechanical units, and also put greater pressure
In Oman, the TRA has implemented measures to promote infrastructure sharing among mobile operators, which can enhance the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of 5G network deployments.
Omantel launched its 5G network in December 2019, utilizing the 3.4 – 3.6 GHz frequency band. 1 The Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) had set a target for operators to deploy 4,400 5G base stations over a five-year period starting in October 2019.
This restricts the potential use of the power models, as their validity and accuracy remain unclear. Future work includes the further development of the power consumption models to form a unified evaluation framework that enables the quantification and optimization of energy consumption and energy efficiency of 5G networks.
Furthermore, the base stations dominate the energy consumption of the radio access network. Therefore, it is reasonable to focus on the power consumption of the base stations first, while other aspects such as virtualization of compute in the 5G core or the energy consumption of user equipment should be considered at a later stage.
