營運商 RAN 架構選項：對能耗的影響

本報告重點關注新的無線存取網路 (RAN) 設計對能源效率的影響，並提供了一系列解決能源使用問題的選項。我們也向營運商、供應商、TowerCos、中立主機和政策制定者提供建議。

目錄

• 隨著架構和技術的發展，RAN 能源使用的當前和長期趨勢
• 可以採取哪些技術和商業措施來減少 RAN 能源使用？
• 政策制定者和電信業正在採取哪些措施來支持減少 RAN/vRAN 能耗？
• 政策制定者和標準機構在定義和標準化 RAN 能耗的方法和測量時應考慮哪些因素？

"A holistic approach to energy efficiency combining many levers across the RAN's radio, baseband and sites, could create energy savings of up to 50-60%."

This report focuses on the implications of new radio access network (RAN) designs for energy efficiency and provides a matrix of options for how to tackle energy use. The report also provides recommendations for operators, vendors, towercos, neutral hosts and policy makers.

Questions answered:

• What are the current and long-term trends in energy use in the RAN as architecture and technologies evolve?
• What technological and commercial levers can be pulled to reduce RAN energy use?
• What are policy makers and the wider telecoms industry doing to support RAN/vRAN energy reductions?
• What should policy makers and standards organisations consider when defining and standardising methods and measurements for RAN energy consumption?
