1. This study integrates solar power and battery storage into 5G networks to enhance sustainability and cost-efficiency for IoT applications. The approach minimizes dependency on traditional energy grids, reducing operational costs and environmental impact, thus paving the way for greener 5G networks. 2.
“A 5G base station is generally expected to consume roughly three times as much power as a 4G base station. And more 5G base stations are needed to cover the same area,” -IEEE Spectrum, 5G’s Waveform Is a Battery Vampire
Research indicates that the energy consumption of 5G base stations is approximately three to four times higher compared to 4G base stations , raising concerns about sustainability and operational costs, The main reasons for this result are twofold. The theoretical peak downlink rate of 5G networks is 12.5 times that of 4G networks.
The shift to higher frequency bands [19, 20] (from 100 MHz up to 5 GHz) in 5G networks will require an increase in the number of base station antennas; this, in turn, will increase energy demands. 3. Energy-Efficiency Solutions and Technologies
