Energy consumption optimization of 5G base stations
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
Small cells are a new part of the 5G platform that increase network capacity and speed, while also having a lower deployment cost than macrocells. The compact size of a small cell requires that all components – especially power converters – provide high eficiency, better thermals and eventually the best power density possible.
The service requirements of 5G network would become more diversified. There are three distinct 5G scenarios as defined by 3GPP; enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB, 10 Gbit/s); Ultra reliable and low latency communications (uRRLC, 1ms); and massive machine type communications (mMTC, 1 million/km2).
The power consumption per unit of traffic (Watt/bit) is greatly decreased, but the power consumption of 5G increases greatly compared to that of 4G. Noticeably, in the 5G era, the maximum power consumption of a 64T64R AAU is 1000–1400 W, and that of a BBU is about 2000 W. Multiple bands in one site will be the typical configuration in the 5G era.
Multiple bands in one site will be the typical configuration in the 5G era. The proportion of sites with more than five bands will increase from 3% in 2016 to 45% in 2023. As a result, the maximum power consumption of a site will be higher than 10 kW, in a site where there is more than 10 bands, the power consumption will exceed 20 kW.
Based on the concept of Bit Manages Watt, 5G power solutions use AI and Cloud technologies to implement multi-level intelligent collaboration between power supply and site devices, as well as power supply and network devices. Functional power supplies develop into intelligent ones, which greatly reduce the CAPEX and OPEX of sites.
For 5G, infrastructure OEMs are considering combining the radio, power amplifier and associated signal processing circuits with the passive antenna array in active antenna units (AAU). While AAUs improve performance and simplify installation, they also require the power supply to share a heatsink with the power amplifier for cooling.
