Aiming at minimizing the base station (BS) energy consumption under low and medium load scenarios, the 3GPP recently completed a Release 18 study on energy saving techniques for 5G NR BSs . A broad range of techniques was evaluated in terms of the obtained network energy saving (NES) gain and their impact to the user-perceived throughput (UPT).
However, the construction and operation of 5 G base stations face significant energy consumption challenges. Under full-load conditions, the power consumption of 5 G base stations is approximately 3–4 times that of 4 G base stations, which has a notable impact on energy consumption and environmental concerns (Zhang et al., 2020, Feng et al., 2012).
(1) Incorporation of Communication Caching Technology: The model includes communication caching technology, which fully leverages the delay-tolerant characteristics of communication flows, further enabling energy saving in 5 G base stations.
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.
