How to evaluate a 5G energy-optimised network?

To properly examine an energy-optimised network, it is very crucial to select the most suitable EE metric for 5G networks. EE is the ratio of transmitted bits for every joule of energy expended. Therefore, while measuring it, different perspectives need to be considered such as from the network or user’s point of view.

Does 5G use embodied energy?

First, there remains a paucity of publicly available, peer reviewed, fully transparent and up-to-date whole network assessments of the operational energy use of 5G networks. Second, the embodied energy associated with network equipment and user devices is neither accounted for nor targeted in much of this literature.

Does 5G affect energy use?

Addressing this gap, we conduct a literature review to examine whole network level assessments of the operational energy use implications of 5G, the embodied energy use associated with 5G, and indirect effects associated with 5G-driven changes in user behaviour and patterns of consumption and production in other sectors of the economy.

How can distributed generation improve the EE of the 5G network?

The utilization of distributed generation (DGs) is an effective approach to improve the energy efficiency (EE) of the 5G network. Coordinated system management and energy dispatch.

How will the environment be impacted by 5G?

The advent of the ultra-dense 5G network and a vast number of connected devices will bring about the obvious issues of significantly increased system energy consumption, operational expenses, and carbon dioxide emissions. Therefore, it is essential to consider renewable energy powered sustainable 5G network infrastructure.

How much energy does a 5G base station use?

China Mobile’s measurement report 9 indicates that the energy consumption of a 5G base station is 4.3 kWh, which is four times that of a 4G base station at 1.1 kWh. One 5G base station is estimated to produce 30 t of carbon emissions in one year of operation 10.
