“…The goal of such studies was to perform long-term evaluations (over months/years) that could potentially capture exposure level variations due to the upgrade of the monitored base station(s). In more detail, Djuric et al [17], [18] designed a continuous EMF monitoring system, which allowed measuring the exposure contributions from the different sources and their evolution over time. Chiaraviglio et al [19] reported the outcomes of a long-term exposure monitoring lasting for several months, showing that the overall contribution of 5G with respect to legacy generations was limited.…”

“…More concretely, we perform EMF assessments through spot measurements that are spread over the territory. In addition, previous works [17], [18], [19] are focused on passive EMF monitoring. In contrast to them, our work evaluates the impact of actively injecting traffic in the measurement location.…”

The deployment of 5G networks is approaching a mature phase in many countries across the world. However, little efforts have been done so far to scientifically compare ElectroMagnetic Field (EMF) exposure and traffic levels before and after the activation of 5G service over the territory. The goal of this work is to provide a sound comparative assessment of exposure and traffic, by performing repeated measurements before and after 5G provisioning service. Our solution is based on an EMF meter and a spectrum analyzer that is remotely controlled by a measurement algorithm. In this way, we dissect the contribution of each pre-5G and 5G band radiating over the territory. In addition, we employ a traffic chain to precisely characterize the achieved throughput levels. Results, derived from a set of measurements performed on a commercial deployment, reveal that the provisioning of 5G service over mid-band frequencies has a limited impact on the exposure. In parallel, the measured traffic is more than doubled when 5G is activated over mid-bands, reaching levels above 200 [Mbps]. On the other hand, the provisioning of 5G over sub-GHz bands does not introduce a substantial increase in the traffic levels. Eventually, we demonstrate that EMF exposure is impacted by the raw-land reconfiguration to host the 5G panels, which introduces changes in the sight conditions and in the power received from the main lobes.INDEX TERMS 5G technology, EMF measurement, traffic measurement, comparative analysis.

“…However, it is impossible to monitor the environmental EMF in all areas at all time periods, even by multisensor networks [10] , [11] or by drones coupled with measuring devices [12] . Then, is it possible to quickly identify the approximate level of the EMF through some information?…”
