scope:

The present document covers the following radio access technology:

• 5G NR

The methodology described in the present document is to measure Base Station dynamic energy efficiency. Within the present document, it is referred to dynamic measurement.

The results based on dynamic measurements of the BS provide energy efficiency information for BS with dynamic loads.

The present document covers only enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB) use case of 5G. Other use cases such as massive Machine-Type Communication (mMTC) and Ultra-Reliable and Low-Latency Communication (URLLC) will be subjected for future version of the present document.

Energy consumption of terminal (end-user) equipment is outside the scope of the present document however, how a User Equipment (UE) affects a Base Station energy performance will be considered for further study.

The scope of the present document is not to set and define target values for the power consumption nor the energy performance of equipment and neither for regulatory nor type approval purpose.

The results should only be used to assess and compare the energy efficiency of complete Base Stations.

Wide Area Base Stations are covered in the present document.

The present document only covers conducted testing, not OTA testing. In other words, the present document is applicable to BS type 1-C and BS type 1-H (at TAB connectors).
