Gitega Communication 5G Base Station AI Energy Saving Project

What is the energy consumption of a 5G network?

The energy consumption of 5G networks is one of the pressing concerns in green communications. Recent research is focused towards energy saving techniques of base stations (BSs). BSs are one of the most power consuming elements of a 5G network. It is important to model their energy consumption for analyzing overall energy efficiency of a network.

What is the ITU-T Technical Report on 5G base station?

This document contains Version 1.0 of the ITU-T Technical Report on “Smart Energy Saving of 5G Base Station: Based on AI and other emerging technologies to forecast and optimize the management of 5G wireless network energy consumption” approved at the ITU-T Study Group 5 meeting held online, 20th May, 2021. 3.1.

Can network energy saving technologies mitigate 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.

How AI based energy saving can help BS Energy Saving?

In response to the requirement of an intelligent and self-adaptive energy saving solution, AI and big data technology are also introduced to BS energy saving for improving the efficiency and reducing the manpower required. 7.2. AI based energy saving for 5G base stations Nowadays the 5G network deployment is on the fast track around the world.
