Threshold-based 5G NR base station management for energy
Simulations conducted on a realistic multi-technology 5G New Radio (NR) RAN in an urban environment validate the efficacy of the proposed strategy, achieving up to 73% of energy saving.
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).
However, the construction and operation of 5 G base stations face significant energy consumption challenges. Under full-load conditions, the power consumption of 5 G base stations is approximately 3–4 times that of 4 G base stations, which has a notable impact on energy consumption and environmental concerns (Zhang et al., 2020, Feng et al., 2012).
(1) Incorporation of Communication Caching Technology: The model includes communication caching technology, which fully leverages the delay-tolerant characteristics of communication flows, further enabling energy saving in 5 G base stations.
Importantly, this study item indicates that new 5G power consumption models are needed to accurately develop and optimize new energy saving solutions, while also considering the complexity emerging from the implementation of state-of-the-art base station architectures.
