Abstract
With the fast increase in global human population as well as rapid development in mobile and internet technology, there is projected increase in wireless communication traffic. These have led to the development of energy efficient techniques in wireless communication systems. This paper adopts two methods that will reduce the energy consumption of 5G network using the switch mode and energy-efficient hardware approach. The base station consumed energy that ranges from low-rated energy to high-rated energy transceivers with entirely varying constraints and limitations. The results obtained showed that the average daily input power in watt (W), output power in decibels and output power in watt (W) at the macro cell base stations were 297495.45, 1641.945 and 166618.40. Again, the results of the average daily input power in watt (W), output power in decibel and output power in watts (W) at the micro cell base stations were 16648.68, 1372.637 and 12576.98. However, the average power consumption during peak traffic period with conventional hardware and enhanced hardware at the macro base station were 12675.37, 7742.553 and 700.375. Again, the average power consumption during high traffic period with conventional hardware and enhanced hardware at the micro base station were 550.506, 4932.819 and 149.869. In conclusion, the researchers recommend that the energy efficient hardware technique should be adopted to improve energy efficiency in wireless communication networks.
