Aiming at minimizing the base station (BS) energy consumption under low and medium load scenarios, the 3GPP recently completed a Release 18 study on energy saving techniques for 5G NR BSs . A broad range of techniques was evaluated in terms of the obtained network energy saving (NES) gain and their impact to the user-perceived throughput (UPT).
It offered a level of adaptability and flexibility that was previously unattainable, proving that the future of 5G networks could be both powerful and sustainable. In their quest for greener 5G networks, Daniela Renga et al. in unveiled DCASM, a clever strategy to conserve energy in 5G base stations without sacrificing performance.
However, the ever-increasing energy consumption of 5G BSs places great pressure on electricity costs, and existing energy-saving measures do not fully utilise BS wireless resources in accordance with dynamic changes in communication load, resulting in flexible resource waste and seriously limiting electricity cost savings for 5G BSs.
