Integrated 5g base station power outage

Is energy consumption a concern for 5G networks?

Abstract—The fifth generation of the Radio Access Network (RAN) has brought new services, technologies, and paradigms with the corresponding societal benefits. However, the energy consumption of 5G networks is today a concern.

What is a power outage?

An outage is specifically identified for practical implementation when the reference signal received power falls below a threshold, typically ranging from − 120 to − 140 dBm, within the coverage area of base stations.

Can network energy saving technologies mitigate 5G energy consumption?

This Technical Report explores how network energy saving technologies, such as carrier shutdown, channel shutdown, symbol shutdown etc., that have emerged since the 4G era, can be leveraged to mitigate 5G energy consumption.

How do you localize a network outage?

Once an outage is detected, (1c) localizes the outage by identifying the affected users (oUEs), served users (sUEs), and compensating base stations (cBS). Module 2 starts with (2a), determining whether the outage involves a single or multiple base stations. Based on the outage level, the appropriate compensation strategy is selected in (2b).
