Because it is estimated that in 5G, the base station's density is expected to exceed 40–50 BSs/ Km 2 . The energy consumption of the 5G network is driving attention and many world-leading network operators have launched alerts about the increased power consumption of the 5G mobile infrastructure .
Various 5G enabled scenarios, such as, the impact of traffic load variations, the number of antennas of HPN, variation in bandwidth, and density of LPNs in mm-wave communication is considered to investigate the power requirements and network power efficiency of these radio access architectures to propose the energy-efficient radio access network.
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 energy consumption of the 5G network is driving attention and many world-leading network operators have launched alerts about the increased power consumption of the 5G mobile infrastructure . The access network is a most energy-intensive component (i.e., 60%–80%) than the other components of the mobile network.
In addition to other small modules that use electricity, the power consumption of a single 5G base station is generally around 3700 watts, which is about three times that of 4G and does not
