5G Energy Consumption Modeling
This project involves working with the ''5G-Energy Consumption'' dataset provided by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) in 2023 as part of a global challenge for data
The energy consumption of the fifth generation (5G) of mobile networks is one of the major concerns of the telecom industry. However, there is not currently an accurate and tractable approach to evaluate 5G base stations' (BSs') power consumption.
The power consumption of a single 5G station is 2.5 to 3.5 times higher than that of a single 4G station. The main factor behind this increase in 5G power consumption is the high power usage of the active antenna unit (AAU). Under a full workload, a single station uses nearly 3700W.
The energy consumption of 5G networks is one of the pressing concerns in green communications. Recent research is focused towards energy saving techniques of base stations (BSs). BSs are one of the most power consuming elements of a 5G network. It is important to model their energy consumption for analyzing overall energy efficiency of a network.
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 .
The data here all comes from operators on the front lines, and we can draw the following valuable conclusions: The power consumption of a single 5G station is 2.5 to 3.5 times higher than that of a single 4G station. The main factor behind this increase in 5G power consumption is the high power usage of the active antenna unit (AAU).

Since mmWave base stations (gNodeB) are typically capable of radiating up to 200-400 meters in urban locality. Therefore, high density of these stations is required for
In this article, we propose a novel model for a realistic characterization of the power consumption of 5G multi-carrier BSs, which builds on a large data collection campaign.

This project addresses the critical challenge of energy consumption in 5G networks, specifically in Base Stations (BSs), which account for over 70% of the total energy usage.
The 5G network is a dynamic system that consumes energy continually and responds to spikes in network activity. Over 70% of this energy is consumed by RAN
Base stations, which serve as the backbone of wireless networks, consume 60% of the total energy consumed by such networks, and 3G and 4G base stations alone account for
With the rapid development of 5G base station construction, significant energy storage is installed to ensure stable communication.
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
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 [1]. It is
This paper proposes a novel 5G base stations energy con-sumption modelling method by learning from a real-world dataset used in the ITU 5G Base Station Energy
Fig. 1 shows the AAU architecture and its main power consumption components. In more details, the overall AAU consumed power includes: i) the baseline power consumption,
Why is 5G Power Consumption Higher? 1. Increased Data Processing and Complexity These 5G base stations consume about three times the power of the 4G stations.
The power consumption of the 5G base station mainly comes from the AU module processing and conversion and high power-consuming high
Many telcos publish data on their energy consumption, and sometimes provide breakdowns for different parts of the network. But there are no existing
