Selecting the Right Supplies for Powering 5G Base Stations
These tools simplify the task of selecting the right power management solutions for these devices and, thereby, provide an optimal power solution for 5G base stations components.
Cell Reference Power determines the baseline power for a 5G cell and depends on bandwidth, RBs, and hardware capabilities. SS-PBCH-BlockPower is a crucial parameter for enhancing signal strength, calculated by adding a boost power value to the cell reference power.
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.
The further completion of the map of power models (Fig. 2) and systematization of their features as well as the comparison is also part of the future work. Lastly, the aspects of computing (network function virtualization) and functional split options of the RAN need to be considered for 5G networks as well.
This means the SSB Power equals 21 dB. As shown in the image below, this is how you can verify the current 5G SSB Power using drive test (DT) data through the configuration information provided for the SS-PBCH-BlockPower, which is part of the system information block (SIB) configuration for the serving cell.
