Environmental Engineering (EE); Metrics and measurement method for energy efficiency of wireless access network equipment; Part 1: Power consumption - static measurement method

Energy efficiency is one of the critical factors of the modern telecommunication systems. The energy consumption of the access network is the dominating part of the wireless telecom network energy consumption. Therefore the core network and the service network are not considered in the present document. In the radio access network, the energy consumption of the Base Station is dominating (depending on technology often also referred to as BTS, NodeB, eNodeB, gNodeB etc. and in the present document denoted as BS). The present document, ETSI ES 202 706-1, defines the measurement method for the evaluation of base station power consumption and energy consumption with static load: •Average power consumption of BS equipment under static test conditions: the BS average power consumption is based on measured BS power consumption data under static condition when the BS is loaded artificially in a lab for three different loads, low, medium and busy hour under given reference configuration. •Daily average energy consumption.
ETSI TS 102 706-2 [i.8] defines energy efficiency measurement of the base station with dynamic load.
