As a result, there are many more hardware components per base station. Björnson believes this will probably increase the total energy consumption of 5G base stations compared to 4G. But as massive MIMO technology develops, its energy efficiency may also improve over time.
Although the absolute value of the power consumption of 5G base stations is increasing, their energy efficiency ratio is much lower than that of 4G stations. In other words, with the same power consumption, the network capacity of 5G will be as dozens of times larger than 4G, so the power consumption per bit is sharply reduced.
Also, NextGalliance published a report with the below figure clearly illustrates that the RAN consumes the most power. Although RAN power consumption is reduced in 5G, it is still over 50% of the total 5G network infrastructure consumption. Another trend worth noting is the rise in data center power consumption in 5G.
Per bit, 5G consumes a fraction of the energy of 4G. Telecom sites account for the bulk of carriers' energy consumption. In an equipment room, only 60% of the power used is for the main communications equipment, with the remaining 40% used for heat dissipation.
Despite improvements in energy efficiency, the RAN continues to consume more power than any other part of the network. This is due largely to new technology like mmWave transceivers and MIMO antennas, all of which require more power. Power Consumption of 4G and 5G Networks How can 5G reduce power consumption Vs. 4G
In both 4G and future 5G networks, operators will probably run their base stations so they transmit at the maximum power allowed by their licenses, in order to maximize the coverage, according to Björnson.
