Due to the high radio frequency and limited network coverage of 5G base stations, the number of the 5G base stations are 1.4∼2 times than that of the 4G base stations, and thus the energy consumption is also 2∼3 times higher (Israr et al., 2021).
However, a significant reduction of ca. 42.8% can be achieved by optimizing the power structure and base station layout strategy and reducing equipment power consumption. Overall, this study provides a clear approach to assess the environmental impact of the 5G base station and will promote the green development of mobile communication facilities.
At present, most 5G base stations are upgraded or constructed based on 4G base stations in China and ca. 97% of the towers are constructed based on existing site resources (Meng, 2020). The installation of AAU adopts poles or towers according to a certain proportion.
2.6. Scenario analysis 5G base stations are high-frequency with an average coverage of about 450 m, while the 4G base stations cover an average range of about 1500 m. Taking a 64T64R S111 5G macro station equipment as an example, the power consumption was ca. 3–4 kW, 2–3 times higher than that of 4G equipment (Li, 2019).
