6 FAQs about Power Supply Bureau vigorously serves 5G base stations

What is a 5G base station?

A 5G base station is mainly composed of the baseband unit (BBU) and the AAU — in 4G terms, the AAU is the remote radio unit (RRU) plus antenna. The role of the BBU is to handle baseband digital signal processing, while the AAU converts the baseband digital signal into an analog signal, and then modulates it into a high-frequency radio signal.

What is the coverage area of 5G high-frequency base stations?

The radius of coverage area of 5G high-frequency base stations will be less than one-tenth of that of 4G base stations, and the coverage area of 5G high-frequency base stations will be less than one percent of that of 4G base stations. The deployment of macro base stations is difficult and the site resources are not easy to obtain.

How much power does a 5G station use?

The power consumption of a single 5G station is 2.5 to 3.5 times higher than that of a single 4G station. The main factor behind this increase in 5G power consumption is the high power usage of the active antenna unit (AAU). Under a full workload, a single station uses nearly 3700W.

Will 5G use micro-cells?

Therefore, in 5G networks, high-frequency resources will no longer use macro base stations, micro-cells become the mainstream, and the small base stations will be used as the basic unit for ultra-intensive networking, that is, small base stations dense deployment.

What is the work difficulty of 5G network & powering solution?

work difficulty. 1) 5G Network general descriptions, cells 2) Powering solution divided into local powering, remote coverage, and impact on powering strategy, powering and share infrastructures in three different type of 5G network and feeding solutions cases and there will be very technical specifications.

How does a 5G base station reduce OPEX?

This technique reduces opex by putting a base station into a “sleep mode,” with only the essentials remaining powered on. Pulse power leverages 5G base stations' ability to analyze traffic loads. In 4G, radios are always on, even when traffic levels don't warrant it, such as transmitting reference signals to detect users in the middle of the night.
