Abstract

This paper focused on the analysis and evaluation of energy efficiency of 5G networks in wireless communication. The projected rise in wireless communication traffic has necessitated high operating costs of conventional wireless cellular networks and scarcity of energy resources in low power applications. This paper examined different ways of deploying energy efficient hardware at the base stations in order to make the base station non-polluting energy. The method employed involves the measurement of power consumption at the macro cell and micro cell base stations. The results of the power consumption obtained from the macro cell base stations were used in three models, namely the Gex model, the modified Gex model and Ismail model for the periods of 0am – 1am, 12pm – 1pm and 11pm – 0am were 11228.63W, 11561.15W, 11231.06W, 12821.65W, 12983.29W, 12981.64W, 13020.56W, 15342.30W, 11323.83W, 11634.23W, 11374.37W and 13196.66W. Again, the results of the power consumption obtained from the micro cell base stations for the periods of 0am – 1am, 12pm – 1pm and 11pm – 0am were 717.09W, 754.83W, 729.65W, 748W, 723.67W, 743.34W, 717.6W, 741W, 643.5W, 667.74W, 642.9W and 718W, respectively. Therefore, it is concluded that the modified model produced energy consumption that are in consonance with the measured energy. Therefore, it is concluded that the modified Gex model produced energy consumption values which are in closed range with the measured energy values.
