Title
Energy performance of 5G-NX radio access at country level
Abstract
In this paper, we evaluate the technology potential of a new 5G radio access technology (RAT), here denoted 5G-NX, in terms of energy performance at the country level, in order to show what can be expected in the future when networks are being modernized and new technology is rolled out. To this end, per deployment area we calculate the daily energy consumption via system level simulations considering a typical European country categorized by six deployment areas, and extend the results to country scale according to a large-scale deployment model. The results show that 55% energy saving is achievable at the country level with 5G-NX networks while providing up to 15 times more capacity and 9 times higher peak rate compared to a baseline LTE network using the same site grid.
