Question: In a 5G system, what is a condition under which the network may expose energy consumption information related to a service to an authorized third party, in addition to operator policy and agreement with the third party?
Option 1: When the customer has subscribed to a premium energy-aware service plan.
Option 2: With consent by the customer, when network performance statistic information (e.g., data rate, packet delay) is also being shared for the same time interval.
Option 3: Automatically, on a monthly basis, without requiring any additional approvals.
Option 4: Only when the energy consumption reaches a critical threshold set by the regulatory body.
Explanation: This option is correct because, according to the service requirements for the 5G system, exposing network performance statistic information (e.g., data rate, packet delay, and packet loss) together with energy consumption information to an authorized third party requires not only operator policy and agreement with the third party but also consent by the customer, specifically when this information is related to the same time interval (e.g., hourly or daily). This ensures transparency and respect for the customer's privacy.
