3、 attention in the telecommunication industry.This also applies to discussions about 6G where delivering continued service growth combined with reduced network energy consumption is a key consideration.The term“energy performance”in the title of this white paper denotes minimizing the network energy
4、consumption for a given set of performance requirements,such as user throughput,capacity,and latency.Energy performance is a system-wide aspect that can be easily compromised by mistakes in standards,implementations,or network management.Every component of the system matters,and it only takes one ba
5、d solution in one part for the system to end up with poor overall energy performance.A good standard is essential for achieving excellent energy performance,but it is not enough on its own.It takes time to see the global benefits of improved design practices and infrastructure technology due to the
6、long lifespans of network equipment and telecom generations.This makes it even more important to double down and ensure that cellular technology continues to advance in the energy performance dimension.There have already been important advancements in the energy performance area,particularly with th
