The goal is to introduce the common and generic aspects of the societal and technical pillars to achieve sustainability objectives behind the deployment of smart new services within the IP network of a single city or an association of cities administratively clustered.

The present document addresses the opportunities and challenges offered by the use of lamp-posts to provide facilities supporting services required by sustainable digital multiservice cities and communities.

Defining the Global KPIs for HFC Access networks and describing how the Global KPIs are to be applied.

Many companies are running studies on estimating energy performance of future radio access networks (RAN) deployment. In this work item we want to find methods and best practice to assess energy performance (Energy Consumption, Energy Efficiency) of a future RAN deployment . The work will start with collecting important preconditions as traffic aspects (growth, new traffic classes, potential disruption), collection of energy efficiency/saving solutions and strategies and energy issues in current networks. Network energy performance will be assessed based on set of scenarios including different solutions. The time period is 2020, optionally beyond and 5G impact. Energy consumption and efficiency definitions from ES 202706 and ES 203228 are preferred.

Establish a new energy efficiency measurement methods and metrics to support NFV scenarios, such as IMS and EPC, to define measurement methods for: 1) VNF, 2)Server, 3) NFVI(NFV Infrastrucutre) including HW and hypervisor. A similar work item will be also proposed in ITU-T SG5 for having common deliverables. NOTE: the work will look on Network Function Virtualization(NFV) transformation that will dramatically change telecom network architecture with decoupled software and hardware. Actual available Energy efficient measurement methods of traditional all-in-one telecom equipments will be not directly suitable for NFV components (e.g. Virtualized Network Functions (VNF), hypervisor hardware, Management and Orchestration) from different vendors.

Enhancing the energy efficiency measurement method for RBS

Providing an estimation method for estimating the total energy consumption of a Mobile Network based on using small portion of data from same Network and statistically approach.

This TR is an initial study about metrics and methods of measurements for the energy efficiency of 5G products and networks. This WI will prepare a TR to be considered as a basis for a future specification and not for evaluation of 5G technology.

Energy Aware Networking adapt performances and power consumption according to traffic load. Actual energy efficiency measurement procedures are unsuitable to determines the equipmentâ€(TM)s ability to adapt performances and power consumption to traffic load needs, hence a novel measurement method is required. This WI will focus on fixed access and transport nodes.

The standard identifies gateways for field-bus networks, data storage for archiving and developing data sharing platforms, and application units as important system components for developing digital communities, i.e., building-scale and city-wide ubiquitous facility networking infrastructure. The standard defines a data exchange protocol that generalizes and interconnects these components (gateways, storage, application units) over the IPv4/v6-based networks. This enables integration of multiple facilities, data storage, application services such as central management, energy saving, environmental monitoring, and alarm notification systems.

This standard defines the common base requirements for Participants in a Service-Oriented Device Connectivity (SDC) System that comprises a network of point-of-care (PoC) medical devices and medical IT systems to improve effective, safe and secure contribution to a system function such as metric provisioning.

This work item focuses on identifying the necessary support provided by Multi-access Edge Computing for V2X applications. The work will be a study with the intent to collect and analyse the relevant V2X use cases (including the findings from external organisations), evaluate the gaps from the defined MEC features and functions, and identify the new requirements including new features and functions.When necessary, this may include identifying new multi-access edge services or interfaces, as well as changes to existing multi-access edge services or interfaces, data models, application rules and requirements. The work item will recommend the necessary normative work to close these gaps if identified.
