To ensure the stable operation of 5G base stations, communication operators generally configure backup power supplies for macro base stations and approximately 70% of the micro base stations according to the maximum energy demand. Therefore, the battery used for the power backup has a large idle space.

Given the backup power sharing scenario in Sect. 4.3.3 and illustrated by Fig. 4.4, two types of power outages may happen. To keep the network reliability, we need to control the possibility of network failures caused by asynchronous outages under a predefined threshold (denoted by 𝜖). Further practical constraints during the backup power deployment are as follows. 1. No BS misses: for any BS, its backup power is supplied by the batteries at one. Note that among the above mathematical representations, only x and yare unknown variables that need to solve, and all the other nations are either prior.
[PDF Version]The backup battery of a 5G base station must ensure continuous power supply to it, in the case of a power failure. As the number of 5G base stations, and their power consumption increase significantly compared with that of 4G base stations, the demand for backup batteries increases simultaneously.
In this article, we assumed that the 5G base station adopted the mode of combining grid power supply with energy storage power supply.
In the optimal configuration of energy storage in 5G base stations, long-term planning and short-term operation of the energy storage are interconnected. Therefore, a two-layer optimization model was established to optimize the comprehensive benefits of energy storage planning and operation.
2) The optimized configuration results of the three types of energy storage batteries showed that since the current tiered-use of lithium batteries for communication base station backup power was not sufficiently mature, a brand- new lithium battery with a longer cycle life and lighter weight was more suitable for the 5G base station.

Model of Base Station Power System The key equipment in 5G base stations are the baseband unit (BBU) and active antenna unit (AAU), both of which are direct current loads. The power of AAU contributes to roughly 80% of the overall communication system power and is highly dependent on the communication volume .
The 5G BS power consumption mainly comes from the active antenna unit (AAU) and the base band unit (BBU), which respectively constitute BS dynamic and static power consumption. The AAU power consumption changes positively with the fluctuation of communication traffic, while the BBU power consumption remains basically unchanged, , .
However, the widespread deployment of 5G base stations has led to increased energy consumption. Individual 5G base stations require 3–4 times more power than fourth-generation mobile communication technology (4G) base stations, and their deployment density is 4–5 times that of 4G base stations [3, 4].
This restricts the potential use of the power models, as their validity and accuracy remain unclear. Future work includes the further development of the power consumption models to form a unified evaluation framework that enables the quantification and optimization of energy consumption and energy efficiency of 5G networks.
According to the principle of mobile communication, the transmission distance and frequency of the signal are inversely proportional when the power ratio of receiving and transmitting is constant. The frequencies of 4G base stations are generally from 2.3GHz to 2.6GHz, and the frequencies of 5G high-frequency base stations are above 28GHz.
Therefore, in 5G networks, high-frequency resources will no longer use macro base stations, micro-cells become the mainstream, and the small base stations will be used as the basic unit for ultra-intensive networking, that is, small base stations dense deployment.

Introduction
The charging and discharging actions of energy storage meet the requirements of various 5G base stations for microgrid power backup. During the low electricity price period, the 5G base station microgrid purchases electricity from the grid to meet the power demand of the base station.
The explosive growth of mobile data traffic has resulted in a significant increase in the energy consumption of 5G base stations (BSs). However, the existing energy conservation technologies, such as traditi.
This paper proposes two modified power consumption models that would accurately depict the power consumption for a 5G base station in a standalone network and a novel routing protocol for distributing the load on the base stations in the case of intercellular communication.
1. Introduction 5G base station (BS), as an important electrical load, has been growing rapidly in the number and density to cope with the exponential growth of mobile data traffic . It is predicted that by 2025, there will be about 13.1 million BSs in the world, and the BS energy consumption will reach 200 billion kWh .
The 5G BS power consumption mainly comes from the active antenna unit (AAU) and the base band unit (BBU), which respectively constitute BS dynamic and static power consumption. The AAU power consumption changes positively with the fluctuation of communication traffic, while the BBU power consumption remains basically unchanged, , .
Therefore, the problem can be formulated as a minimal 5G BS energy consumption optimization model, i.e., the energy consumption reduced by reasonably switching off the idle or lightly loaded BSs and reasonably associate UEs with BSs (i.e., the BS switching state and BS-UE association state scheme).
The explosive growth of mobile data traffic has resulted in a significant increase in the energy consumption of 5G base stations (BSs).
In recent years, many models for base station power con-sumption have been proposed in the literature. The work in proposed a widely used power consumption model, which explicitly shows the linear relationship between the power transmitted by the BS and its consumed power.
