The goal is to introduce the common and generic aspects of the societal and technical pillars to achieve sustainability objectives behind the deployment of smart new services within the IP network of a single city or an association of cities administratively clustered.
The present document addresses the opportunities and challenges offered by the use of lamp-posts to provide facilities supporting services required by sustainable digital multiservice cities and communities.
Many companies are running studies on estimating energy performance of future radio access networks (RAN) deployment. In this work item we want to find methods and best practice to assess energy performance (Energy Consumption, Energy Efficiency) of a future RAN deployment . The work will start with collecting important preconditions as traffic aspects (growth, new traffic classes, potential disruption), collection of energy efficiency/saving solutions and strategies and energy issues in current networks. Network energy performance will be assessed based on set of scenarios including different solutions. The time period is 2020, optionally beyond and 5G impact. Energy consumption and efficiency definitions from ES 202706 and ES 203228 are preferred.
Establish a new energy efficiency measurement methods and metrics to support NFV scenarios, such as IMS and EPC, to define measurement methods for: 1) VNF, 2)Server, 3) NFVI(NFV Infrastrucutre) including HW and hypervisor. A similar work item will be also proposed in ITU-T SG5 for having common deliverables. NOTE: the work will look on Network Function Virtualization(NFV) transformation that will dramatically change telecom network architecture with decoupled software and hardware. Actual available Energy efficient measurement methods of traditional all-in-one telecom equipments will be not directly suitable for NFV components (e.g. Virtualized Network Functions (VNF), hypervisor hardware, Management and Orchestration) from different vendors.
IEEE Std 2030 provides alternative approaches and best practices for achieving smart grid interoperability. It is the first all-encompassing IEEE standard on smart grid interoperability providing a roadmap directed at establishing the framework in developing an IEEE national and international body of standards based on cross-cutting technical disciplines in power applications and information exchange and control through communications. IEEE Std 2030 establishes the smart grid interoperability reference model (SGIRM) and provides a knowledge base addressing terminology, characteristics, functional performance and evaluation criteria, and the application of engineering principles for smart grid interoperability of the electric power system with end-use applications and loads. A system of systems approach to smart grid interoperability lays the foundation on which IEEE Std 2030 establishes the SGIRM as a design tool that inherently allows for extensibility, scalability, and upgradeability. The IEEE 2030 SGIRM defines three integrated architectural perspectives: power systems, communications technology, and information technology. Additionally, it defines design tables and the classification of data flow characteristics necessary for interoperability. Guidelines for smart grid interoperability, design criteria, and reference model applications are addressed with emphasis on functional interface identification, logical connections and data flows, communications and linkages, digital information management, and power generation usage.
Providing an estimation method for estimating the total energy consumption of a Mobile Network based on using small portion of data from same Network and statistically approach.
This TR is an initial study about metrics and methods of measurements for the energy efficiency of 5G products and networks. This WI will prepare a TR to be considered as a basis for a future specification and not for evaluation of 5G technology.
Energy Aware Networking adapt performances and power consumption according to traffic load. Actual energy efficiency measurement procedures are unsuitable to determines the equipmentâ€(TM)s ability to adapt performances and power consumption to traffic load needs, hence a novel measurement method is required. This WI will focus on fixed access and transport nodes.
The standard identifies gateways for field-bus networks, data storage for archiving and developing data sharing platforms, and application units as important system components for developing digital communities, i.e., building-scale and city-wide ubiquitous facility networking infrastructure. The standard defines a data exchange protocol that generalizes and interconnects these components (gateways, storage, application units) over the IPv4/v6-based networks. This enables integration of multiple facilities, data storage, application services such as central management, energy saving, environmental monitoring, and alarm notification systems.
Recommendation ITU-T Y.4051 contains vocabulary applied to the work on smart cities and communities (SC&C). The vocabulary terms and definitions in this Recommendation are defined in published ITU‑T Recommendations and Supplements, and standards from other international standards developing organizations (SDOs) such as the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). Additionally, this vocabulary also includes and defines new terms to meet the needs of the work of ITU on SC&C.
