Does a 5G base station need a sleep strategy?

Abstract: For time and space constraints, 5G base stations will have more serious energy consumption problems in some time periods, so it needs corresponding sleep strategies to reduce energy consumption.

What is the energy-saving technology of base stations?

This technical report focuses on energy-saving technology of base stations. Some energy saving technologies since 4G era will be explained in details, while artificial intelligence and big data technology will be introduced in response to the requirement of an intelligent and self-adaptive energy saving solution.

Can network energy saving technologies mitigate 5G energy consumption?

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.

Does Mappo reduce power consumption in 5G ultra-dense networks?

In this paper, we thoroughly study the base station control problem in 5G ultra-dense networks and propose an innovative MAPPO algorithm. The algorithm significantly reduces the overall power consumption of the system by optimizing inter-base station collaboration and interference management while guaranteeing user QoS.

How to choose a 5G energy-optimised network?

Certain factors need to be taken into consideration while dealing with the efficiency of energy. Some of the prominent factors are such as traffic model, SE, topological distribution, SINR, QoS and latency. To properly examine an energy-optimised network, it is very crucial to select the most suitable EE metric for 5G networks.

Is a 5G energy saving solution enough?

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.
