5G is one of the hottest topics at the moment. But 5G power consumption is a hot topic as well. In order to win the favor of operators, all manufacturers are flaunting the industry’s leading power consumption performance. Who is accurate? To answer this question, we should take a look at a few factors. First, what is the correlation between 5G base station power consumption? Second, how to assess the 5G base station power consumption?
Regarding the answer to the first question, we can find some clues from the core methods of reducing the power consumption of 5G base stations introduced by various manufacturers at MWC2019 Shanghai Exhibition.
In addition, the data processing part of the base station also occupies more power consumption overhead, and this part also has a large optimization space. In general, the manufacturers will consider the use of application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) chips instead of field-programmable gate array (FPGA) chips for mature commercial products to reduce power consumption and improve computing efficiency.
As for the second question, the key point is the unification of test conditions. Because the power consumption of a 5G base station is related to multiple test factors, any change in factors will result in a large change in the overall results. So, what are the test factors related to the power consumption of 5G base stations?
In fact, the optimal battle for manufacturers’ 5G power consumption will naturally be conclusive in the collection test. In order to ensure that the results of the collection test are fair and credible, the operators will gather a large number of senior experts, adopt strict environmental and platform review standards, and test the power consumption of the base stations of each manufacturer with the test of multi-sample and multi-use cases. This will not only help operators to make correct judgments but also encourage manufacturers to continue to innovate, thus promoting the positive development of the 5G industry.
