Uninterruptible power supply power consumption parameters for communication base stations

In recent years, many models for base station power con-sumption have been proposed in the literature. The work in proposed a widely used power consumption model, which explicitly shows the linear relationship between the power transmitted by the BS and its consumed power.

Furthermore, the base stations dominate the energy consumption of the radio access network. Therefore, it is reasonable to focus on the power consumption of the base stations first, while other aspects such as virtualization of compute in the 5G core or the energy consumption of user equipment should be considered at a later stage.

Quantification models are most suitable for quantifying overall power consumption of base station or even networks as part of large-scale evaluations. The number and complexity of parameters is limited, and simple usage with load profiles or traffic models is possible to estimate total energy consumption.

AU power consumption model. We demonstrated that such analytical model reaches accuracy close to the one of the ML model for a widely used type of AAU. Notably, when compared to a state-of-the-art model under the same conditions, the prop

The power consumption of the baseband processing is defined as a constant value in the Auer, Holtkamp, and Piovesan models. In the Holtkamp model, it is scaled linearly with the bandwidth and the number of employed antennas.

The first step when modeling the energy consumption of wireless communication systems is to derive models of the power consumption for the main system components, which are then combined with time-dependent traffic load models to estimate the consumed energy.
