Base stations represent the main contributor to the energy consumption of a mobile cellular network. Since traffic load in mobile networks significantly varies during a working or weekend day, it is important to quantify the influence of these variations on the base station power consumption.
Despite improvements in energy efficiency, the RAN continues to consume more power than any other part of the network. This is due largely to new technology like mmWave transceivers and MIMO antennas, all of which require more power. Power Consumption of 4G and 5G Networks How can 5G reduce power consumption Vs. 4G
There are great differences between 5G and 4G base stations in a number of areas, which together empower 5G to offer better speeds, lower latency, and higher connection density. The differences are reflected in the following areas: 5G base stations adopt a more flexible architecture that supports network slicing and virtualization technologies.
While 4G base stations typically have fewer antenna ports, 5G base stations support massive MIMO technology and are capable of having up to 100 ports. That is to say, with the same array, more antennas could be installed and more users could be served simultaneously with increased network capacity.
A typical 4G tower site would have 3 sectors, 2X2 MIMO (Multiple-Input Multiple-Output is a wireless technology that uses multiple transmitters and receivers to transfer more data at the same time) and 2 carriers. This takes the total transceivers to 3*2*2 = 12 TRXs. So, the total power demand at the site is 12 TRXs* (250W-500W) = 3kW to 6kW.
The real data in terms of the power consumption and traffic load have been obtained from continuous measurements performed on a fully operated base station site. Measurements show the existence of a direct relationship between base station traffic load and power consumption.
