Abstract
A power and environmental orchestration (P&EO) system uses network utilization condition information to implement scenarios that partially or fully reduce power requirements for radio access network (RAN) elements. A network device obtains power orchestration scenarios for a RAN and evaluates utilization data of multiple components of the RAN against the power orchestration scenarios. The network device determines that the utilization data meets a threshold for one of the power orchestration scenarios and applies the one of the power orchestration scenarios to reconfigure the RAN for reduced power consumption.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- obtaining, by a network device, power orchestration scenarios for a radio access network (RAN);
- evaluating, by the network device, utilization data of multiple components of the RAN against the power orchestration scenarios;
- determining, by the network device, that the utilization data meets a threshold for one of the power orchestration scenarios;
- and
- applying, by the network device, the one of the power orchestration scenarios to reconfigure the RAN for reduced power consumption.
A network device in an application service layer network, the network device comprising:
- one or more processors configured to execute instructions to:
- obtain power orchestration scenarios for a radio access network (RAN);
- evaluate utilization data of multiple components of the RAN against the power orchestration scenarios;
- determine that the utilization data meets a threshold for one of the power orchestration scenarios;
- and
- apply the one of the power orchestration scenarios to reconfigure the RAN for reduced power consumption.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions executable by a processor of a device, which when executed cause the device to:
- obtain power orchestration scenarios for a radio access network (RAN);
- evaluate utilization data of multiple components of the RAN against the power orchestration scenarios;
- determine that the utilization data meets a threshold for one of the power orchestration scenarios;
- and
- apply the one of the power orchestration scenarios to reconfigure the RAN for reduced power consumption.
