According to the mobile telephone network (MTN), which is a multinational mobile telecommunications company, report (Walker, 2020), the dense layer of small cell and more antennas requirements will cause energy costs to grow because of up to twice or more power consumption of a 5G base station than the power of a 4G base station.
The new perspective in sustainable 5G networks may lie in determining a solution for the optimal assessment of renewable energy sources for SCBS, the development of a system that enables the efficient dispatch of surplus energy among SCBSs and the designing of efficient energy flow control algorithms.
1. RE generation sources are a practical solution for 5G mobile networks. For SCNs, the RE technology is a viable and sustainable energy solution. RE technology can produce enough renewable energy to power SCBSs. It is predicted that 20% of carbon dioxide emissions will be reduced in the ICT industry by deploying RE techniques to SCNs.
There are several potential advantages of RE in 5G mobile networks. First, for the network operator, RE can reduce the cost of energy consumption by deploying solar or wind energy base stations. RE enabled BSs can use solar energy for operation in the daytime, along with storing it in rechargeable batteries.
In the future, it can be envisioned that the ubiquitously deployed base stations of the 5G wireless mobile communication infrastructure will actively participate in the context of the smart grid as a new type of power demand that can be supplied by the use of distributed renewable generation.
System planning and maintenance complexity There will be a significant change in the functionality and feature of 5G BSs. The conventional resource on-demand techniques will no longer be as effective as they are in 3G or 4G systems. In 5G, BSs will operate in a cloud radio access network (C-RAN) or/and mmWave network.
