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.

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.
