This chapter provides information on major performance evaluation frameworks that were developed for legacy and 5th generation (5G) systems. It presents performance assessments for some of the representative 5G use cases. The chapter focuses on network energy efficiency, that is, the capability of the network to operate with certain (preferably low) electric power consumption. In recent years, optimization of this factor has become one of the most important criteria for mobile network operators (MNOs) and a major target for telecom equipment vendors. The chapter proposes a preliminary evaluation, based on simulations, of the energy efficiency of 5G versus the legacy radio systems. It then introduces a techno‐economic analysis of potential 5G deployments, giving insight into costs and benefits of running the 5G network. Finally, the chapter highlights the key performance and economic evaluation results that 5G brings.

Abstract
This chapter provides information on major performance evaluation frameworks that were developed for legacy and 5th generation (5G) systems. It presents performance assessments for some of the representative 5G use cases. The chapter focuses on network energy efficiency, that is, the capability of the network to operate with certain (preferably low) electric power consumption. In recent years, optimization of this factor has become one of the most important criteria for mobile network operators (MNOs) and a major target for telecom equipment vendors. The chapter proposes a preliminary evaluation, based on simulations, of the energy efficiency of 5G versus the legacy radio systems. It then introduces a techno‐economic analysis of potential 5G deployments, giving insight into costs and benefits of running the 5G network. Finally, the chapter highlights the key performance and economic evaluation results that 5G brings.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
