Because it is estimated that in 5G, the base station's density is expected to exceed 40–50 BSs/ Km 2. The energy consumption of the 5G network is driving attention and many world-leading network operators have launched alerts about the increased power consumption of the 5G mobile infrastructure.
Renewable energy is the best choice to power small cell networks in 5G infrastructure to minimize the on-grid power and effects on the environment. The utilization of solar and wind-based energy generation may be an appealing approach in the sense of energy efficiency.
The energy consumption of the 5G network is driving attention and many world-leading network operators have launched alerts about the increased power consumption of the 5G mobile infrastructure. The access network is a most energy-intensive component (i.e., 60%–80%) than the other components of the mobile network.
The energy self-sufficiency of 5G mobile networks is a promising area of research. Renewable energy is the best choice to power small cell networks in 5G infrastructure to minimize the on-grid power and effects on the environment.
