Typically, core switches are Layer 3 switches equipped with robust network management capabilities. They are characterized by numerous ports and high bandwidth, offering greater reliability, redundancy, throughput, and lower latency compared to access and aggregation switches. The primary transmission and routing of data signals take place at the core layer only. Engineered to aggregate massive volumes of data from distribution switches, it provides ultra-low latency and maximum throughput to ensure uninterrupted routing and packet. A backbone switch, also known as a core switch, is a high-performance network switch engineered to interconnect different subnets, access layer switches, or distribution layer devices within a network.

These stations utilize advanced technologies such as Massive MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output), beamforming, and network slicing to optimize performance. According to China Mobile, this equipment alone accounts for 70% of direct network emissions, and of these, over 30% is attributable to cooling systems. At the heart of this transformative technology lies the 5G base station, a critical component that facilitates wireless communication between mobile devices and the broader network infrastructure. This technical report explores how network energy saving technologies that have emerged since the 4G era, such as carrier shutdown, channel shutdown, symbol shutdown etc. An effective method is needed to maximize base station battery utilization and reduce operating costs.
