US 2017/0251433 A1 · SYSTEM POWER MANAGEMENT AND OPTIMIZATION IN TELECOMMUNICATION SYSTEMS

Abstract

It is described a method (700) for reducing power consumption in a telecommunication system, the method (700) comprising: collecting (704) system data from at least a part of a plurality of subsystems (518) of the telecommunication system; determining a set of system constraints corresponding to the collected system data for at least the part of the plurality of subsystems (518); determining a configuration for at least the part of the plurality of sub-systems (518) based on the collected system data so that a total power consumption for at least the part of the plurality of subsystems (518) is reduced and the determined set of system constraints is met; and applying (712) the determined configuration to at least the part of the plurality of subsystems to enforce the determined configuration.

Dependent claims

A method for reducing power consumption in a telecommunication system, the method comprising:

collecting system data from at least a part of a plurality of subsystems of the telecommunication system;
determining a set of system constraints corresponding to the collected system data for at least the part of the plurality of subsystems;
determining a configuration for at least the part of the plurality of subsystems based on the collected system data so that a total power consumption for at least the part of the plurality of subsystems is reduced and the determined set of system constraints is met;
and
applying the determined configuration to at least the part of the plurality of subsystems to enforce the determined configuration.
