The construction of the 5G network in the communication system can potentially change future life and is one of the most cutting-edge engineering fields today. The 5G base station is the core equipment of the 5G network, and the performance of the base station directly affects the deployment of the 5G network.
The 5G baseband unit is responsible for NR baseband protocol processing, including the entire user plane (UP) and control plane (CP) protocol processing functions, and provides the backhaul interface (NG interface) with the core network and the interconnection interface between base stations (Xn interface ).
A 5G Base Station is known as a gNode B (next 'generation' Node B). This is in contrast to a 4G Base Station which is known as an eNode B ('evolved' Node B), and a 3G Base Station which is known as a Node B. Figure 21 illustrates two Standalone (SA) Base Station architectures, known as 'option 2' and 'option 5'.
2. Control Unit (CU) The Central Unit (CU) efficiently orchestrates network resources and manages base stations, playing a critical role in enhancing 5G RAN performance and adaptability. One of the key functions of the CU is to establish and release connections between user equipment and the network.
Based on the established energy storage capacity model, this paper establishes a strategy for using base station energy storage to participate in emergency power supply in distribution network fault areas.
Base stations' backup energy storage time is often related to the reliability of power supply between power grids. For areas with high power supply reliability, the backup energy storage time of base stations can be set smaller.
Energy saving is achieved by adjusting the communication volume of the base station and responding to the needs of the power grid to increase or decrease the charge and discharge of the base station's energy storage. However, the paper's pricing of energy interaction ignores the operating loss costs of the operator's energy storage equipment.
Where traffic is high, less base station energy storage capacity is available. Compared with the fixed backup time, the base station energy storage model proposed in this article not only improves the utilization rate of base station energy storage, but also reduces the power loss load and power loss cost in the distribution network fault area.
5G networks divide coverage areas into smaller zones called cells, enabling devices to connect to local base stations via radio. Each station connects to the broader telephone network and the Internet through high-speed optical fiber or wireless backhaul.
In 5G, base stations are known as gNB, where the “g” stands for next Generation. The Mobile Core is a bundle of functionality (conventionally packaged as one or more devices) that serves several purposes. Provides Internet (IP) connectivity for both data and voice services. Ensures this connectivity fulfills the promised QoS requirements.
5G Base Stations: Compared to 4G base stations, 5G brings higher data throughput and power density, significantly increasing heat generation. Therefore, the performance requirements for thermal materials are much higher. ● Small/Micro Base Stations: These base stations are compact, with limited space, making thermal design more challenging.
Major suppliers of 5G radio and core systems included Altiostar, Cisco Systems, Datang Telecom/Fiberhome, Ericsson, Huawei, Nokia, Qualcomm, Samsung, and ZTE. Huawei was estimated to hold about 70 percent of global 5G base stations by 2023.
