What is 5G base station?5G base stations (BSs), which are the essential parts of the 5G network, are important user-side flexible resources in demand response (DR) for electric power system. However, a 5G BS has little and difference dispatchable potential, how to make massive 5G BSs participate in DR conveniently is an urgent problem to be solved.
Why do cellular base stations have backup batteries?[. ] Cellular base stations (BSs) are equipped with backup batteries to obtain the uninterruptible power supply (UPS) and maintain the power supply reliability. While maintaining the reliability, the backup batteries of 5G BSs have some spare capacity over time due to the traffic-sensitive characteristic of 5G BS electricity load.
What is backup power in 5G HetNet?Especially for the cloud radio access network (C-RAN) scenario with many baseband units (BBUs) pooled together, it is natural and convenient to supply backup power for those BSs all together. The scenario of 5G HetNet consisting of macro and small cells, in which the backup power is supplied by battery groups.
Does BS load rate affect the power consumption of 5G networks?the power consumption of AAU nearly linearly increases with the growth of BS load rate, while that of the BBU is quite stable at varying load rates. As the power consumption of 5G BSs is significantly higher than that of 4G BSs, we focus on the backup power allocation of 5G networks in this work.
