How much power does a 5G station use?The power consumption of a single 5G station is 2.5 to 3.5 times higher than that of a single 4G station. The main factor behind this increase in 5G power consumption is the high power usage of the active antenna unit (AAU). Under a full workload, a single station uses nearly 3700W.
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.
What is a power outage?An outage is specifically identified for practical implementation when the reference signal received power falls below a threshold, typically ranging from − 120 to − 140 dBm, within the coverage area of base stations.
Is 5G more energy efficient than 4G?Although the absolute value of the power consumption of 5G base stations is increasing, their energy efficiency ratio is much lower than that of 4G stations. In other words, with the same power consumption, the network capacity of 5G will be as dozens of times larger than 4G, so the power consumption per bit is sharply reduced.
How do you localize a network outage?Once an outage is detected, (1c) localizes the outage by identifying the affected users (oUEs), served users (sUEs), and compensating base stations (cBS). Module 2 starts with (2a), determining whether the outage involves a single or multiple base stations. Based on the outage level, the appropriate compensation strategy is selected in (2b).
What is a 5G base station?A 5G base station is mainly composed of the baseband unit (BBU) and the AAU — in 4G terms, the AAU is the remote radio unit (RRU) plus antenna. The role of the BBU is to handle baseband digital signal processing, while the AAU converts the baseband digital signal into an analog signal, and then modulates it into a high-frequency radio sign
