TUMA13: 5G Radio Power Saving Techniques with TI RF Transceivers: RF Planning, System-Level Techniques, and Device Features

Abstract
With driven demand for wireless data, radio operators combat rising global energy costs and inherent higher power consumption of 5G radios with radio power efficiency mechanisms and techniques. This micro-app highlights the available standards to help designers reduce power at both network and radio level. This analysis includes power saving from the adoption of small cells in the field, and the benefits of RF transceiver digital pre-distortion (DPD) and fast standby to wake-up features. DPD and standby modes enable designers to improve efficiency of transmitter chain and achieve additional power savings in non-peak hours and 3GPP based silent time slots.
