This technical report explores how network energy saving technologies that have emerged since the 4G era, such as carrier shutdown, channel shutdown, symbol shutdown etc., can be leveraged to mitigate 5G energy consumption.
“A 5G base station is generally expected to consume roughly three times as much power as a 4G base station. And more 5G base stations are needed to cover the same area,” -IEEE Spectrum, 5G's Waveform Is a Battery Vampire
A report from GSMA about 5G network cost suggests up to 140% more energy consumption than 4G . Energy saving measures in MNOs are needs rather than nice-to-have. What is more important is that sustainability has risen to the top of the agenda for many industries, including telecoms.
It also analyses how enhanced technologies like deep sleep, symbol aggregation shutdown etc., have been developing in the 5G era. This report aims to detail these fundamentals. However, it is far away from being enough, a revolutionized energy saving solution should be taken into consideration.
Assuming for simplicity equal energy consumption for each month during a year, total yearly energy consumption of this BS site is 64,171. When the inter-cell distance is too large, it will lead to a long switching distance, which will. . Do base stations dominate the energy consumption of the radio access network?Furthermore, the base stations dominate the energy consumption of the radio access network. . The average 5G base station consumes 2. Three factors amplify this: Operators now spend 20-40% of OpEx on electricity, with cooling systems accounting for 30% of that load. 23% compared with the original consumption.

So when the inter-cell distance is too large, it is necessary to increase the distance between cells, thus reducing the power consumption of the base station. In the actual network, in order to reduce the energy loss caused by frequent switching, the following two methods can usually be used: increase the distance between cells.
Because switching is a continuous process and the base station is a device that works periodically, the switching loss accounts for a large proportion of the total power consumption of the base station.
Antenna feeder system is a very important equipment in the base station, it is the main energy source of the base station, so the antenna feeder system is also the main influence factor of the power consumption of the base station.
The impact of the Base Stations comes from the combination of the power consumption of the equipment itself (up to 1500 Watts for a nowadays macro base station) multiplied by the number of deployed sites in a commercial network (e.g. more than 12000 in UK for a single operator).
