The high energy consumption in advanced mobile communication networks, such as 5G, poses challenges related to network efficiency and sustainability, particularly due to exponential increases in network traffic and the need for faster processing of complex tasks.
Innovation Solution
A method and system for energy efficiency aware load balancing and admission control in communication networks, which involves distributing already served user equipment among cells, evaluating near-real-time quality of service feedback, and controlling admissions to mitigate quality of service degradation, utilizing a disaggregated architecture with a near-real-time-radio access network intelligent controller.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Use of energy by moving object
If load balancing is implemented to distribute user equipment among cells, then energy efficiency is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
A centralized unit is introduced as an intermediary to manage and coordinate load balancing decisions across multiple cells. This central化的管理实体 consolidates the complexity of implementing energy-efficient load balancing, allowing individual cells to benefit from optimized user equipment distribution without each cell needing to independently manage the complex algorithms and coordination required for effective load balancing.
2Reliability
If admission control is implemented to manage network capacity, then quality of service is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Admission control functionality is merged with the existing load balancing mechanism and centralized unit. Instead of implementing admission control as a separate, independent system, the patent integrates it into the centralized management structure that already handles load distribution. This allows quality of service to be maintained through coordinated admission decisions while avoiding the additional complexity of a standalone admission control system.
3Stability of the object's composition
If real-time feedback evaluation is implemented for quality of service, then quality of service stability is improved, but processing requirements and energy consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The computationally intensive task of real-time feedback evaluation and quality of service monitoring is extracted from individual cells and concentrated in the centralized unit. This allows quality of service stability to be maintained through continuous monitoring while distributing the processing burden, so that energy-consuming operations are performed centrally rather than being replicated across all cells in the network.
