However, the construction and operation of 5 G base stations face significant energy consumption challenges. Under full-load conditions, the power consumption of 5 G base stations is approximately 3–4 times that of 4 G base stations, which has a notable impact on energy consumption and environmental concerns (Zhang et al., 2020, Feng et al., 2012).
(1) Incorporation of Communication Caching Technology: The model includes communication caching technology, which fully leverages the delay-tolerant characteristics of communication flows, further enabling energy saving in 5 G base stations.
It also provides a way to solve the problem of 5G energy consumption. This paper puts forward a scheme to install photovoltaic energy storage system for 5G base station to reduce the power supply cost of the base station, compares it with the energy consumption cost of 5G base station in different situations, and analyzes the economy of the scheme.
Notably, China, Korea, and the US are vigorously engaged in this field, specifically related to the 5G network. This review paper identifies the possible potential solutions for reducing the energy consumption of the networks and discusses the challenges so that more accurate and valid measures could be designed for future research.
To further explore the energy-saving potential of 5 G base stations, this paper proposes an energy-saving operation model for 5 G base stations that incorporates communication caching and
