Measuring Energy Efficiency in Open RAN and Traditional RAN
Meeting energy efficiency and sustainability targets has become a top priority for operators worldwide. But how can they measure energy consumption and efficiency to ensure they succeed in their efforts, to test, monitor and optimize their networks? Monica Paolini of Senza Fili talks to Jean Dassonville, Strategy Planner at Keysight, and Giampaolo Tardioli, General Manager and Vice President at Keysight, to learn how network testing and monitoring give operators essential tools to minimize energy consumption. Keysight works with operators to ensure that their networks perform as they should and that they understand how they use energy and can become more efficient. This is even more important in an Open RAN environment with multiple vendors, a virtualized and cloud-based architecture, where operators want to know not only how much energy they consume but how that relates to performance. 00:05 Introduction 02:10 Jean and Giampaolo introductions 03:34 Energy efficiency at Keysight; testing 06:15 Component and network testing, disaggregation 06:41 Optimization, telemetry 07:47 Network load 08:15 Digital twin approach to network emulation 10:17 Open RAN, disaggregation 11:03 RIC, ecosystem 12:44 O-RAN interfaces, interoperability 14:20 Energy efficiency with Open RAN 15:48 Disaggregation, virtualization, processors, optimization 17:41 AI 19:11 Benchmarking, standardization, metrics, specifications 21:18 Chipsets 21:44 Lab and live networks 22:30 Traffic loads, services, network slicing 24:54 Slicing and monetization 25:33 Private networks 26:15 Test methodologies 26:54 Future developments to increase energy efficiency 28:38 Concluding remarks
