Identify the achievable energy
savings with 5G5G-NX systems
operating at 15 GHz utilizing
massive beamforming and
ultra--lean design compared to
ultra
baseline LTE@2.6 in a dense
urban (major Asian city)
scenario.
› Ultra-lean design and the high beamforming gain,
enabling longer and more efficient sleep at BS.
› At expected traffic levels beyond 2020, 5G-NX can
decrease the energy consumption by more than 50%
while providing ~10 times more capacity.
› Carrier aggregation with 5G-NX provides >> 100 Mbps
user throughput with lower energy consumption
(-35%) despite the comparably energy-inefficient LTE
layer at expected traffic levels beyond 2020.
100% + 1% ≠ 101%

access is not a specific radio access technology;
rather it is an overall wireless access solution
addressing the various requirements of mobile
communication.
› Two key features

Even at high traffic, cell DTX can bring savings due to high difference between day-night traffic.

› Advantages of 5G-NX:
1. In a given deployment, beamforming gain provides higher user data rate.
›
Same traffic will be served by utilizing less amount of resources.
Longer time to sleep.
2. New system control plane enables BSs to sleep for longer consecutive time durations.
›
Deeper sleep for BSs
Lower sleep power consumption compared to LTE.
Energy Performance of 5G-NX Wireless Access | © Ericsson AB 2015 | 2014-06-05 | Page 15
›
Superior cell-edge performance by 5G-NX systems even at 15 GHz.
›
Beamforming gain compensates for the additional propagation loss.
›
Carrier aggregation with 5G-NX always increases the energy
consumption.
›
›
Almost 5 times increase in 5-percentile user throughput requires
up to 38% increase in energy consumption.
Most of the traffic is offloaded 5G-NX (>70%), taking advantage of
efficient transmission.

5G-NX@15

LTE@2.6 layer is the dominant consumer, responsible of
>60% of total energy consumption.
Energy Performance of 5G-NX Wireless Access | © Ericsson AB 2015 | 2014-06-05 | Page 16
LTE can still serve the traffic with acceptable 5-percentile user
throughput.
5G-NX enables up to 65% energy saving compared to
LTE@2.6 while increasing the 5-percentile user throughput 7
times.
Both carrier aggregation solutions increases the energy
consumption.
›
Increased static power consumption due to the new system
cannot be compensated by the reduction in dynamic power due
to lower utilization.
Traffic levels are so low to fully benefit from carrier aggregation in order to reduce the energy consumption.
Energy Performance of 5G-NX Wireless Access | © Ericsson AB 2015 | 2014-06-05 | Page 17
› LTE@2.6 cannot handle the traffic. (Maximum ~500 Mbps/km2).
› 5G-NX alone can provide 70 Mbps 5-percentile throughput, with
64% energy saving.
› LTE@2.6+5G-NX@15: Serve the 5-percentile users consuming
less dynamic power.
– Efficient transmission at NX layer and offloading benefits at LTE
layer.
LTE@2.6 +5G-NX@15 can provide >> 100 Mbps user throughput with lower energy consumption, despite the comparably
energy-inefficient LTE layer.

conclusions
› Standalone 5G-NX is the most energy efficient solution (-64% energy
consumption for 1200 Mbps/km2)
› LTE@2.6 +5G-NX@15 can provide >> 100 Mbps user throughput with
lower energy consumption (-35% for 1200 Mbps/km2).
› In order to achieve the potential energy savings, we have to fully
utilize all the benefits obtained by 5G-NX (high BF gain, higher BW,
ultra-lean design, etc) with cell DTX.
– Implementation is the key!
