However, the implementation of Multiple-Input Multiple-
Output (MIMO) techniques in 5G networks has significantly increased power consumption, posing a challenge to sustainability and operational costs. This study conducts a comparative analysis of energy efficiency in 5G MIMO networks, specifically between Downlink Uplink Coupling (DUCo) and Downlink Uplink Decoupling (DUDe) techniques. By examining the remaining power in the Base Stations (BSs) of the implemented Heterogeneous Network (HetNet), this analysis evaluates the potential of DUDe over DUCo in managing power consumption. The findings of this study aim to assist network operators, researchers, and policymakers in developing greener
and more sustainable 5G infrastructures for a cleaner, energyefficient future.1 aKatsigiannis, Chrysostomos-Athanasios1 aGkamas, Apostolos1 aTsachrelias, Konstantinos1 aBouras, Christos1 aKokkinos, Vasileios1 aPouyioutas, Philippos  uhttp://telematics.upatras.gr/telematics/publications/power-consumption-analysis-dude-5g-mimo-networks?language=en
