The paper aims to provide an outline of energy-efficient solutions for base stations of wireless cellular networks. It supports cost savings of approximately 15 percent. Reducing energy consumption of mobile communication networks has gained significant attentions since it takes a major part of the total energy consumption of information and communication technology (ICT). In this paper, we consider 5G networks with heterogeneous macro cells and small cells, where. lt in the second quarter (also see China Internet De-velopment Report 2022). The increasing number of base stations and the large-scale deploy-ment of 5G base stations will bring huge energy consumption, which means the energy saving of ase stations has become one of the hot spots in the field of. This technical report explores how network energy saving technologies that have emerged since the 4G era, such as carrier shutdown, channel shutdown, symbol shutdown etc., can be leveraged to mitigate 5G energy consumption. It also analyses how enhanced technologies like deep sleep, symbol.
