Thermal Design for the Passive Cooling System of Radio
The studied case is a radio base station (RBS) of high power density. Operating in outdoor scenarios, RBS requires unattended duty, maintenance-free, and long life-time.
Currently, the majority of research concerning heat dissipation in 5G base stations is primarily focusing on passive cooling methods. Today, there is a clear gap in the literature in terms of research investigations that tend to quantify the temperature performances in 5G electronic devices.
Abstract—Passively cooled base stations (PCBSs) offer low deployment cost and energy consumption for the next generation networks. By its nature, however, dealing with the thermal issue becomes crucial. For an outdoor PCBS, a major challenge is that the heat dissipation is uncertain over time.
Green communication is a major prospect of the next-generation wireless networks. In conventional 5G base stations with active cooling, energy consumption caused by air condi-tioning typically amounts to more than 20% of the total .
Branded as ultra-lightweight radio or ultra-lean sites –, passively cooled base stations (PCBSs) represent a promising solution for bringing down the energy consumption as well as network deployment cost.
