China Unicom s 5G base station sleeps at night, will such a saving electricity bill disappoint use

How to evaluate China Unicom's shutdown of 5G base stations from 21:00 to 9:00 the next day to save electricity bills? The 5G base station is turned off regularly every day, and the operators of the rich countries cannot afford to pay the electricity bill of the 5G base station!

Users say: 5G can't afford to use, and 5G speed has not reached the ideal state; The operator said: 5G power consumption is too big, we can't afford to turn it on, we need 5G base station to sleep!

It reminds me of a song: "You tell you what you want to pursue, I know you're hiding Why don't you say it, you're willing to let such thoughts drown me; Why do you say it's all my fault, I think love is too beautiful and too realistic; What exactly makes you sadder; What can I do but shed tears to love you like this."

Users think that you have shaped 5G very well, I also make the 5G experience very good, and the 5G rate test is also very good**I, I only need to add a little money to open or upgrade 5G**really**! But I still paid by mistake, didn't achieve a good result, and had to limit my speed, and now I will directly disclose the time limit to further limit my speed! The operator says: what kind of speed do you want, tell me, you don't tell me; I've been paying for you, giving you speed, and I don't know ......What a love-hate scene!

Here's the thing:

Recently, a "Luoyang Unicom reduces the energy consumption of 5G base stations through AAU deep sleep" has sparked heated discussions, many users are worried that 5G base stations are dormant will affect their use of 5G networks, and the 5G ** opened is not in name only? According to public information, China Unicom Luoyang Branch has recently turned on the deep sleep function in the no-load state at different times for the three different base station radio frequency unit equipment (AAU) that have been connected to the network, so as to achieve the purpose of energy consumption control of intelligent base station equipment. For example, for sites that have not carried out single-site verification or have completed single-site verification, the AAU deep sleep function is enabled at all times; For sites that are being verified at a single site, the AAU deep sleep function is enabled at different times (from 21:00 to 9:00 the next day).

Please remember here that this initiative of Renjia Unicom is dormant, not the shutdown of 5G base stations!

Regarding why the 5G base station is dormant, Li Fuchang, deputy director of the Wireless Research Department of China Unicom Network Technology Research Institute, also gave a reply!

What is AAU deep dormancy? In this regard, Li Fuchang, deputy director of the wireless research department of China Unicom Network Technology Research Institute, said that the deep sleep function of AAU no-load state refers to the fact that when the base station service is in a long-term idle state, due to the absence of 5G user access, AAU equipment can turn off the power supply of most active devices and enter the sleep state, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing AAU no-load power consumption.

In fact, I can't understand one thing here, there is really no 5G user access from 21:00 to 9:00 the next day?

In today's era, there are a lot of night owls, and many companies rely on live broadcast at night, 5G live broadcast, 5G ** live broadcast, 5G game playing games should be a very active time at night, how can it be said that there is no 5G user access!

Of course, we haven't experienced the joy of 5G, and many times, the 5G network speed we use has not reached a very fast speed, and we have not experienced the coolness, to be honest, you don't say, I really don't know, you are dormant at this time, because no matter which time period has not seen much change! On the contrary, I feel that the network speed is slow during the day, and I have used the Unicom card for more than ten years.

For the meaning of dormancy, people have also shared more deeply!

Why do you want to put the AAU device into deep sleep when it is not loaded? The answer, of course, is to reduce energy consumption. Li Fuchang explained that because the AAU equipment of the 5G base station supports 64 channels or 32 channels, a large number of active components, baseband processing units and other devices are added compared with the traditional 4G equipment, so the no-load power consumption of this type of equipment can be greatly improved.

Three or four hundred watts. 5G bandwidth has increased by 5 times compared to 4G, and the increase in power consumption is an objective fact. It is understood that the typical power consumption of a single system of 5G macro station is 2 to 3 times that of 4G base station.

Keep in mind here that 5G has 5 times more bandwidth than 4G, and 5G macro stations consume 2 to 3 times more power than 4G base stations! So the question is, if I take a 5G** mobile phone card and a 4G** mobile phone card, and experience the network speed on the 5G mobile phone respectively, how big will the difference be? In the case of saving electricity, how much does the Internet speed limit? Whether there is any impact on people's daily life and the normal business operation of enterprises is something that operators need to consider!

In fact, the user terminal provider has made intelligent control, and the network speed is different for different applications at different times and different experiences! So in terms of base stations, since I think the power consumption is relatively large, I think it should be flexible, then some people say that it is impossible to lay out multiple signal towers for you in a region, and the cost of the operator itself is high! So is it possible for several operators to work together to provide signals under the flexible layout, for example, for the number of devices and the frequency of use in a certain area, so as to do flexibility, so that each operator's equipment in different time periods, or every day, every week, every month can take shifts to rest, this is not the best way to save energy, and also let users who want to use 5G not be restricted, so that the people who sleep, 5G is automatically lowered to 4G, idle time, Wouldn't it be better to let one of the carriers' devices hibernate and rest? What do you think about this, welcome to follow my entrepreneur Li Meng and oh I communicate together!
