Brief description about components of the base station Energy Consumption Index (ECI)—It represents the efficiency of BS power utilization. The lower value of ECI means greater EE as mentioned in Eq. 6 below. Its unit is J/bit.
The limited penetration capability of millimeter waves necessitates the deployment of significantly more 5G base stations (the next generation Node B, gNB) than their 4G counterparts to ensure network coverage . Notably, the power consumption of a gNB is very high, up to 3–4 times of the power consumption of a 4G base stations (BSs).
On the one hand, 5G network operators are highly motivated to cooperate with the power system in energy matters, given that the numerous gNBs with their high energy consumption result in significant electricity bills that can be troublesome for the operators , .
The evaluation processes as mentioned in this manuscript could be expanded to take into account the QoS that the UEs experience and to combat energy consumption by BS resource adaption techniques. Also, it has been observed that most of the past literature ignores the energy consumed while switching on-off BSs.
To contribute to the expansion of mobile traffic, a large number of BS are required. In a regular cellular network, the BSs consume more than half of the total energy, therefore their increased numbers have a significant influence on the overall energy consumption.
