Energy efficiency

“

- [Instructor] Another key capability of 5G is the network energy efficiency, which has become increasingly important as sustainability takes center stage in modern operations. Energy consumption represents a major proportion of a network operational cost with thousands of cellular sites operating around the clock. Improving energy efficiency is both an economic and environmental imperative. 5G is designed with energy efficiency in mind, reducing power consumption while maintaining high performance and advanced features like machine learning and artificial intelligence can be leveraged to optimize network operations where dynamically resources can be allocated. For instance, Bay Station can enter into sleep mode during periods of low activity, particularly when the most of the users are in an idle state. And this smart demand based resource management significantly reduces unnecessary energy use and such innovations not only help lower operational costs, but also contribute to a…
