Query: A Cost and Power Feasibility Analysis of Quantum Annealing for NextG
  Cellular Wireless Networks   In order to meet mobile cellular users' ever-increasing data demands, today's
4G and 5G networks are designed mainly with the goal of maximizing spectral
efficiency. While they have made progress in this regard, controlling the
carbon footprint and operational costs of such networks remains a long-standing
problem among network designers. This paper takes a long view on this problem,
envisioning a NextG scenario where the network leverages quantum annealing for
cellular baseband processing. We gather and synthesize insights on power
consumption, computational throughput and latency, spectral efficiency,
operational cost, and feasibility timelines surrounding quantum technology.
Armed with these data, we analyze and project the quantitative performance
targets future quantum annealing hardware must meet in order to provide a
computational and power advantage over CMOS hardware, while matching its
whole-network spectral efficiency. Our quantitative analysis predicts that with
quantum annealing hardware operating at a 102 $\mu$s problem latency and 3.1M
qubits, quantum annealing will achieve a spectral efficiency equal to CMOS
computation while reducing power consumption by 41 kW (45% lower) in a
representative 5G base station scenario with 400 MHz bandwidth and 64 antennas,
and an 8 kW power reduction (16% lower) using 1.5M qubits in a 200
MHz-bandwidth 5G scenario.
