Abstract
Trends in the development of the network infrastructure of future wireless networks have been established. The interrelation between the construction of a network information infrastructure and technologies to reduce the environmental impact in 5G networks is noted. The use of vRAN technology, which allows to reduce total carbon dioxide emissions, is considered. 5G network services are presented, leading to an increase in total energy consumption in these networks. The limitations of the 5G network infrastructure associated with the use of slicing technology are shown.
