Presentation Summary

Network power requirements scale up with network traffic growth. As traffic demands will soon reach hundreds of Tbps, power demands may decelerate or even limit network growth. In addition, rising bit rates of wireless networks (e.g. 50 & 100 Mbps) combined with higher levels of integrated equipment functionalities and chip / device miniaturization lead to unprecedented network power density. Minimizing the total network power per network throughput is the main goal.

Energy model of next generation wireless network is developed. Model identifies the most critical network functionalities from an energy-use standpoint and shed a light on potential developments which could lead towards “greener”, more energy efficient networks. To cope with rising power requirements of next generation network, new development strategies are proposed – from higher network efficiency and functional integration to network resource sharing and innovative network architectures.
