Abstract

This paper presents a comparison of current consumption in a 5G User Equipment (UE) under Non-StandAlone (NSA) deployment when submitted to different scenarios, such as the number of antennas (MIMO), Carrier Aggregation (CA), and modulation schemes. The comparison will occur over the same network parameters but for Frequency Range 1 (FR1) and Frequency Range 2 (FR2) bands. Measurements were taken in laboratory using a setup with test stations for the simulation of LTE and NR Cells and a Control PC with Rapid Test Design (RTD) for the communication between the UE and the test stations, as well as the measurements itself. The results obtained through laboratory measurements show that FR1 scenarios cause less current consumption than FR2 scenarios. Also, the relationship between the electric current consumption and data rates is presented in both scenarios when the UE is connected over FR1 and FR2 network bands.
