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.
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.
The present document describes the motivations for the standardization of technology which enables Energy Efficient IP Video Surveillance Systems over new and legacy Coaxial Infrastructures. The technology enables the transmission of both IP data and power over a single coaxial cable, and is based as much as possible on existing standards. The standardization of this technology is needed for the deployment of sustainable Video Surveillance Systems using interoperable products from different manufacturers.
This work item will define guidance to the providers and standard makers to ensure that each service component is provided with the information needed by the user to make an informed choice.
