FAQS 4

Can 5G save energy?

It is worth making a distinction between efforts to reduce the energy demands of mobile networks and increase the use of renewable energy within mobile networks on the one hand, and the role 5G could play in saving energy across various ‘vertical industries’ such as smart grids and autonomous automotive systems on the other.

How many 5G mobile operators are there in 2024?

As of December 2024, 305 operators in 121 markets had launched commercial 5G mobile services. 5G subscriber base reached 2 billion at the end of 2024. According to the GSMA Intelligence Network Transformation Survey, energy efficiency remains a top priority in the short-to-medium term.

How to evaluate a 5G energy-optimised network?

To properly examine an energy-optimised network, it is very crucial to select the most suitable EE metric for 5G networks. EE is the ratio of transmitted bits for every joule of energy expended. Therefore, while measuring it, different perspectives need to be considered such as from the network or user’s point of view.

Can IoT collaborative control reduce energy consumption in 5G base stations?

Kuo-Chi Chang et al. have proposed an energy-saving technology for 5G base stations using Internet of Things (IoT) collaborative control. It addresses the issue of high energy consumption in dense 5G networks, particularly during periods of low traffic.
