Base stations represent the main contributor to the energy consumption of a mobile cellular network. Since traffic load in mobile networks significantly varies during a working or weekend day, it is important to quantify the influence of these variations on the base station power consumption.
Furthermore, the base stations dominate the energy consumption of the radio access network. Therefore, it is reasonable to focus on the power consumption of the base stations first, while other aspects such as virtualization of compute in the 5G core or the energy consumption of user equipment should be considered at a later stage.
The real data in terms of the power consumption and traffic load have been obtained from continuous measurements performed on a fully operated base station site. Measurements show the existence of a direct relationship between base station traffic load and power consumption.
The largest energy consumer in the BS is the power amplifier, which has a share of around 65% of the total energy consumption . Of the other base station elements, significant energy consumers are: air conditioning (17.5%), digital signal processing (10%) and AC/DC conversion elements (7.5%) .

This paper consists of categorizing telecommunication Base Stations (BTS) for India and their power consumption. He also proposes some parameters for saving energy that clears the congestion
This study examines the energy requirements of a multi-tenant BTS, focusing on power consumption patterns, key energy-intensive components, and optimization strategies.
Power consumption models for base stations are briefly discussed as part of the development of a model for life cycle assessment. An overview of relevant base station power
Core energy consumption comes from the main equipment (RRU/BBU), air conditioning, and power supply systems (switching power supplies and batteries). Energy costs account for 40%-60% of a
Can low-carbon communication base stations improve local energy use?Therefore, low-carbon upgrades to communication base stations can effectively improve the economics of local energy use
The simulations indicate that construction materials and methods influence the energy efficiency of base stations, while ventilation and photo-voltaics can reduce consumption.
The simulation results reveal that the power consumption of all these architectures increases in all considered scenarios due to an increase in power consumption of radio frequency
