Energy Consumption in Mobile Networks - RAN Power Saving Schemes

In this beginner-friendly tutorial, we explore the growing energy demands of mobile networks and the different power-saving schemes implemented in the Radio Access Network (RAN).

From real-world energy stats to smart solutions in 4G and 5G, this video breaks down:
• How much energy mobile networks consume (with stats from ABI Research and GSMAi)
• Where and how energy is used across the RAN
• Key energy-saving approaches at the network, site, and equipment levels
• Techniques like micro-sleep TX and scheduling alignment for power amplifier shutdown
• Insights from vendors like Ericsson, Huawei, and ZTE

Perfect for learners and professionals looking to understand energy efficiency in mobile networks.
