Description
BeGREEN proposes an evolved radio network that targets not only improved wireless communication’s efficiency by maximising performance but also reducing energy consumption. It aims to go beyond the current 5G wireless system specifications to accommodate increasing traffic and services but also consider power consumption as a factor. Determining the metrics by which power consumption should be included is a key feature which will be studied as first stage of the project. This will include not only the cost of the energy but also societal factors.
This deliverable delves into describing current energy efficient frameworks and strategies that aim to model the radio access network (RAN) that serve for identifying and quantifying the parts of this network segment that can allow for improved energy efficiency and reduced energy consumption.
It also provides an initial description of the proposed use cases and their specific requirements, focusing on the scenarios that are subject to study and the reference Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that will be later evaluated and captured in subsequent BeGREEN documents.
Additionally, this deliverable presents a high-level analysis of the BeGREEN RAN architecture along with the optimization strategies that can be applied to the RAN components, supported by those additional components that can are being currently considered in 3GPP latest releases (e.g. relays) and others that offer improved wireless communication at low energy cost.
Finally, it provides the energy control mechanisms that can be applied in a 5G disaggregated RAN and mechanisms enhanced by artificial intelligence and/or machine learning (AI/ML).
