The explosive growth of mobile data traffic has resulted in a significant increase in the energy consumption of 5G base stations (BSs).
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.
1. Introduction 5G base station (BS), as an important electrical load, has been growing rapidly in the number and density to cope with the exponential growth of mobile data traffic . It is predicted that by 2025, there will be about 13.1 million BSs in the world, and the BS energy consumption will reach 200 billion kWh .
However, this technological leap comes with a substantial increase in energy consumption. Compared to its predecessor, the fourth-generation (4G) network, the energy consumption of the 5G network is approximately three times higher .
This paper conducts a literature survey of relevant power consumption models for 5G cellular network base stations and provides a comparison of the models. It highlights commonly

The explosive growth of mobile data traffic has resulted in a significant increase in the energy consumption of 5G base stations (BSs). However, the e
In July 2021, China Mobile announced that the power consumption of the 5G base station had been reduced to a figure amounting to about three times that of the 4G base stations, about 1900W.
Accurate energy consumption modeling is essential for developing energy-efficient strategies, enabling operators to optimize resource uti-lization while maintaining network
Through these interventions, China Mobile added 467,000 5G base stations while achieving a 2% reduction in overall base station energy consumption in 2024, demonstrating the
At present, 5G mobile traffic base stations in energy consumption accounted for 60% ~ 80%, compared with 4G energy consumption increased three times. In the future, high-density
Base stations with multiple frequencies will be a typical configuration in the 5G era. It''s predicted that the proportion of sites with more than five frequency bands will increase from 3 percent
The rapid deployment of 5G networks has intensified concerns about energy consumption in mobile communication systems. Unlike previous generations, 5G base stations (BSs) exhibit significant
With the rapidly expanding coverage of the mobile Internet, the large-scale deployment of 5G base stations (BSs) has accelerated significantly. However, the substantial energy consumption
