Optimizing Energy and Spectral Efficiency in Mobile Networks: A Comprehensive Energy Sustainability Framework for Network Operators by Luis Mata, Marco Sousa, Pedro Vieira, Maria Paula Queluz, Antonio Rodrigues

“…The urgent need to meet Environmental, Social, and Governance net-zero commitments and the financial risks posed by rising energy costs, are placing increasing pressure on Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) to optimise energy use. Given the significant energy consumption from Base Stations (BSs) and the fact that Fifth Generation (5G) deployments are not meeting expectations for reduced energy consumption when compared to Fourth Generation (4G), MNOs are shifting from a load-centric optimisation approach to a service-centric paradigm that balances spectral efficiency and energy efficiency. …”
