Technical FAQs 4

How do base stations affect mobile cellular network power consumption?

Base stations represent the main contributor to the energy consumption of a mobile cellular network. Since traffic load in mobile networks significantly varies during a working or weekend day, it is important to quantify the influence of these variations on the base station power consumption.

How many base stations are there in China?

The network traffic data cover 12,264 4G base stations and 2,159 5G base stations. Monthly data on the numbers of base stations and mobile users in each province are released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the People’s Republic of China27.

How does a 5G base station consume energy?

In terms of energy consumption, 5G base stations require continuous operation and stability, which leads to significant electricity consumption (Guo et al., 2022a). This power is mainly supplied by transmission equipment and auxiliary equipment, such as transformers, UPS power supplies, and cooling equipment.

How to estimate the capacity of mobile networks in each province?

We apply the Monte Carlo method to estimate the capacity of mobile networks in each province. We repeatedly and randomly sample base stations from the Nanchang set according to the number of 4G base stations and 5G base stations in each province. The Monte Carlo simulations are performed 1,000 times for each province.
