Setting up a 5G base station is expensive, with costs ranging from $100,000 to $200,000 per site. This price includes hardware, installation, site rental, and maintenance. Urban areas often have higher costs due to land prices and infrastructure challenges.
1. Introduction 5G base station (BS), as an important electrical load, has been growing rapidly in the number and density to cope with the exponential growth of mobile data traffic . It is predicted that by 2025, there will be about 13.1 million BSs in the world, and the BS energy consumption will reach 200 billion kWh .
Fiber optic networks are the backbone of 5G infrastructure, providing the high-speed data transfer needed to support ultra-fast connectivity. However, laying fiber is expensive, with costs ranging from $25,000 to $100,000 per kilometer, depending on location, terrain, and construction regulations.
The cost of deploying a private 5G network for enterprises typically falls between $250,000 and $1 million, depending on the size and complexity of the installation. Unlike public networks, private 5G is customized for specific business needs, such as industrial automation, smart factories, and secure corporate communications.
To reduce the energy consumption of 5GBS, this article incorporates 5GBS into power demand side management and proposes a flexible resource collaborative optimization method that
