HOME / there will be more 5g network base stations, but they will send
Malaysia has made considerable progress in its 5G network rollout, with Digital Nasional Berhad (DNB) successfully completing 7,114 5G sites across the country, covering 81.7% of populated areas.
However, expansion into other areas, including rural regions, has begun and will continue periodically. “In Kuala Lumpur, 5G coverage in populated areas is at 97.7%, Putrajaya at 97.3%, Selangor at 96.1%, Johor at 83.1%, Melaka at 88.6%, Negeri Sembilan at 77.5%, Penang at 91.1%, and Perak at 79.8%,” she said during Question Time.
The path forward for Malaysia's 5G deployment hinges on critical policy decisions. These include determining whether to maintain a government golden share in DNB, conducting open tenders for remaining coverage areas and indoor solutions, and exploring financing models for rural deployment.
Digital Nasional chief executive officer, Augustus Ralph Marshall, said that the country's first 5G base station installation at Bukit Tunku has been powered on which aims to deliver 500 5G-enabled sites in Kuala Lumpur, Cyberjaya and Putrajaya upon rollout.
The optimization configuration method for the 5G base station energy storage proposed in this article, that considered the sleep mechanism, has certain engineering application prospects and practical value; however, the factors considered are not comprehensive enough.
Therefore, base station sleep modes are introduced to reduce the energy consumption of mobile networks by deactivating unnecessary radio resources during periods of low data traffic. However, the energy reduction that can be obtained by sleep modes comes at a performance cost.
In this article, we assumed that the 5G base station adopted the mode of combining grid power supply with energy storage power supply.
The introduction of advanced sleep modes (ASM) is one of the main features of 5G networks that enables energy reduction at the base station (BS) level. While more base stations are deployed to cope with increasing data rates, not all base stations are needed at all times.
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.
The marketing of non-5G services refers to the promotion of enhanced 4G networks that are presented as precursors or equivalents to 5G. Some mobile network operators marketed upgraded 4G technologies using terms that suggested 5G capability.
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.
To properly examine an energy-optimised network, it is very crucial to select the most suitable EE metric for 5G networks. EE is the ratio of transmitted bits for every joule of energy expended. Therefore, while measuring it, different perspectives need to be considered such as from the network or user's point of view.
The government's co-building and co-sharing policy brings China Telecom and China Unicom together to share resources and compete with China Mobile. China Mobile assists China Broadnet in constructing 5G base stations and shares 5G networks with it.
China Telecom and China Unicom signed a strategic cooperation agreement to build a nationwide 5G access network, sharing 5G spectrum resources and bearer networks in 2019. At the end of December 2022, China Unicom had 1.17 million 5G base stations and China Telecom had a total of 1 million 5G base stations (Z. Wen, 2022b).
By adjusting resource allocation, the government aims to balance the competitiveness of the MNOs and regulate the competitive landscape. The government's co-building and co-sharing policy brings China Telecom and China Unicom together to share resources and compete with China Mobile.
Due to economy of scale property of telecommunication industry, sharing of telecom infrastructure among telecom service providers is becoming the requirement and process of business in the telecom industry where competitors are becoming partners in order to lower their increasing investments.
