How many base stations will be modernized in Uzbekistan?

As part of the project, more than 3,000 existing base stations across Uzbekistan will be modernized using the latest technologies, and more than 2,000 new base stations will be built and put into operation. The process of upgrading base stations to the 5G standard is an important stage of the project.

When will 5G technology be introduced in Uzbek?

Since March 2023, the process of increasing the speed of mobile Internet and introducing 5G technology throughout the country has begun, the head of the Uzbektelecom press service Timur Mamajonov reported.

Does Tashkent have a 5G network?

The first stage of the project provides for full coverage of the city of Tashkent with a 5G network, as well as partial coverage of regional centers.

What is the energy consumption of a 5G network?

The energy consumption of 5G networks is one of the pressing concerns in green communications. Recent research is focused towards energy saving techniques of base stations (BSs). BSs are one of the most power consuming elements of a 5G network. It is important to model their energy consumption for analyzing overall energy efficiency of a network.

What is 5G NR & how does it work?

The 5G new radio (NR) standard allows more components to switch off or go to sleep when the base station is in idle mode and requires far fewer transmissions of always-on signalling transmissions. Equipment deep sleep, a basic function that is introduced in the initial stage of the 5G deployment, can be applied to maximize energy saving efficiency.

Can network energy saving technologies mitigate 5G energy consumption?

This Technical Report explores how network energy saving technologies, such as carrier shutdown, channel shutdown, symbol shutdown etc., that have emerged since the 4G era, can be leveraged to mitigate 5G energy consumption.
