Feb 1, 2021 · Renewable energy is considered a viable and practical approach to power the small cell base station in an ultra-dense 5G network infrastructure to reduce the energy provisions
According to the mobile telephone network (MTN), which is a multinational mobile telecommunications company, report (Walker, 2020), the dense layer of small cell and more antennas requirements will cause energy costs to grow because of up to twice or more power consumption of a 5G base station than the power of a 4G base station.
In the future, it can be envisioned that the ubiquitously deployed base stations of the 5G wireless mobile communication infrastructure will actively participate in the context of the smart grid as a new type of power demand that can be supplied by the use of distributed renewable generation.
1. RE generation sources are a practical solution for 5G mobile networks. For SCNs, the RE technology is a viable and sustainable energy solution. RE technology can produce enough renewable energy to power SCBSs. It is predicted that 20% of carbon dioxide emissions will be reduced in the ICT industry by deploying RE techniques to SCNs.
In 5G, BSs will operate in a cloud radio access network (C-RAN) or/and mmWave network. In C-RAN, users are connected to remote radio units (RRUs), and multiple RRUs are linked to the centralized base band units (BBUs), which operate at much higher power and process the data of these RRUs.
Emerging mobile network and computing technologies The massive MIMO, mm-Wave, and UDN are considered promising technologies in 5G networks. These technologies may be used parallel to obtain the full benefits of directional beam-widths, large capacity, and broad coverage.
An analytical model was developed for the 5G access network, which considers the number of active SCNs and puts other small cells into sleep mode and two backhaul energy-efficient solutions mmWave and passive optical network are presented to reduce the energy consumption of the network.
