Telecommunication management; Study on Energy Savings Management (ESM)
In the context of 3GPP Self-Organizing Networks (SON), this study investigates about Energy Savings Management in LTE / SAE networks, with the objective to contribute to the protection of our environment and the environment of future generations. One is forced to admit that, in addition, network energy consumption reduction will enable mobile network operators to save their OPEX.
The present document covers:
• Motivations of mobile network operators for the introduction of energy savings control mechanisms
• Analysis of possible mechanisms for Energy Savings Management via OAM
• Usage of existing IRPs to be used for the purpose of Energy Savings Management
• Identification of new IRP to be potentially defined
• Conclusions
• Recommendations on Energy Savings Management
• Identification of items for standardization as a result of this study
