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 restricts the potential use of the power models, as their validity and accuracy remain unclear. Future work includes the further development of the power consumption models to form a unified evaluation framework that enables the quantification and optimization of energy consumption and energy efficiency of 5G networks.
The explosive growth of mobile data traffic has resulted in a significant increase in the energy consumption of 5G base stations (BSs).
