Study on energy efficiency and energy saving aspects of 5G networks and services
The present document investigates the opportunities for defining new energy related information, new Energy Consumption (EC) KPIs, new Energy Efficiency (EE) KPIs and new Energy Saving (ES) solutions for 5G. It identifies and documents use cases and requirements related to energy related information (e.g. carbon emission, carbon emission efficiency, renewable energy factor), energy consumption, energy efficiency and energy saving. It documents and evaluates potential solutions, and provides recommendations for the normative work.
