Final draft of deliverable D.WG3-02-Smart Energy Saving of
While 5G offers much faster speed, massive connections and much lower latency, and would enable a much bigger variety of new applications for both people''s lives and vertical industries,
“5G is here, and while the expansion of this connectivity continues and the benefits of an energy conscious, future-proof portfolio are evident, it's simply not enough on its own just to dramatically reduce energy consumption for entire mobile networks. We cannot continue with a 'business as usual' approach.”
Emerging use cases and devices demand higher capacity from today's mobile networks, leading to increasingly dense network deployments. In this post, we explore the energy saving features of 5G New Radio and how this enables operators to build denser networks, meet performance demands and maintain low 5G energy consumption.
This technical report explores how network energy saving technologies that have emerged since the 4G era, such as carrier shutdown, channel shutdown, symbol shutdown etc., can be leveraged to mitigate 5G energy consumption.
A report from GSMA about 5G network cost suggests up to 140% more energy consumption than 4G . Energy saving measures in MNOs are needs rather than nice-to-have. What is more important is that sustainability has risen to the top of the agenda for many industries, including telecoms.
