It turns out that every night, when people who "never leave their mobile phones" fall asleep, the busy 5G network information highway becomes empty during the day. The operation of the base station needs power supply. If the 5G base station waits for users at full power, it will waste resources. Late at night 12, if the MCES system "calculates" that there is little communication demand in a residential area of Minzu Avenue in Nanning, it will disconnect the mobile communication base station corresponding to the residential area and make it enter a "dormant" energy-saving state. You may have questions: the demand is small, but it is not useless! At this time, MCES system can integrate the base stations that are still open near the community to ensure the communication needs of customers who use mobile phones at night.

It is reported that MCES system is an important decision for Guangxi Mobile to fully implement the national "peak carbon dioxide emission" and "carbon neutrality". While promoting the construction of new information infrastructure such as 5G data center at full speed, we also make full use of our own information technology advantages to innovatively explore and develop a multi-network collaborative energy-saving system (hereinafter referred to as MCES system) 20 14. MCES system was deployed in the whole region on 20 19 and will be upgraded again in 2020. The system is helpful to continuously promote energy conservation and emission reduction of base stations, strengthen carbon emission management of enterprises, and unswervingly move towards the goal of carbon neutrality.
Since the introduction of MCES, it has won many awards. It has won 6 national patents, the third prize of Science and Technology Award of Chinese Institute of Electronics 20 19 and the third prize of China Mobile Science and Technology Award 20 18. Selected as China Mobile's core competitiveness and independent list products; Won the Best Practice Project of China Mobile. Why can MCES win many awards? Because it is based on the tidal effect of business, it closes the cell with overlapping coverage and capacity layer in idle time to realize energy saving. The denser the base stations, the more energy will be saved.
There are many similar base station power saving technologies in Guangxi Mobile. For example, Guilin Mobile, a subsidiary of the company, expanded the application scale of "elastic shutdown" energy-saving measures for 5G base stations, saving nearly 3 million kWh a year and the electricity bill reached 1.7 million yuan. This technology focuses on the power consumption of 4G-RRU and 5G-AAU (frequency modulation unit) when there is no traffic or low traffic. Through traffic analysis, the cell with obvious tidal effect in the capacity layer network is intelligently turned off, that is, the power supply of the base station cell is directly turned off, which saves electricity to the maximum extent and reduces the power consumption of the base station equipment.
In the future, Guangxi Mobile will continue to strengthen the deployment of base station power-saving system, continue to practice the concept of green development, comprehensively optimize the green energy-saving network, further enhance the green development capability of empowering the digital economy, strengthen innovation cooperation with all parties in the industry, continue to promote the continuous decline of network energy consumption through technological innovation, and contribute to the "peak carbon dioxide emission, carbon neutrality".
