PRESS RELEASE: 5G SA has been enactment into large-scale commercialized usage worldwide. As an motor for integer and intelligent translation of thousands of industries, 5G web faces the challenges and opportunities successful the dual-carbon era. It is indispensable to continuously follow innovative technologies to physique greenish infrastructure. In addition, precocious web vigor redeeming and depletion reducing technologies are required to supply a driving unit for the greenish improvement of thousands of industries, frankincense bringing greater improvement opportunities.
As the halfway and encephalon of 5G network, it faces large challenges connected however to prevention vigor and trim depletion due to the fact that of aggregate types of NEs, a ample fig of MOCs, distributed deployment, and redundant resources. In addition, CN, arsenic the encephalon of the network, needs to beryllium smarter and much agile truthful arsenic to accurately comprehend the congestion status, work type, and UE determination of web information upload and delivery, and tin docket and orchestrate the web successful existent clip and dynamically. Additionally, CN tin collaborate with different web domains to empower antithetic industries and execute end-to-end vigor redeeming and depletion reducing. Therefore, the probe and applications of the energy-saving and consumption-reducing technologies of CN are indispensable.
Green Engine Solution
Facing the opportunities and challenges of greenish development, ZTE launches the Green Engine solution connected the ground of the 5G Common Core. The solution is guided by the ideas of vigor saving, enabling, and empowering, oriented to ToC and ToB scenarios, and based connected 4 cardinal technologies of unreality native, hyper-convergence, hardware acceleration, and AI/automation. With this solution, ZTE achieves greenish translation of NFVI, VNFs, and MANO, promotes the capableness operation and continuous improvement of CNs, builds a greenish engine, saves vigor for operators’ networks, enables thousands of industries, empowers integer and intelligent production, and helps thousands of industries execute the dual-carbon extremity successful the epoch of Internet of Everything (IoE).
NFVI: Green Base
The NFVI includes 2 cardinal components: server hardware and unreality platform. The extremity of the Green Base is to physique greenish servers and a greenish unreality platform.
Green server: As the ground of the Green Base, ZTE provides businesslike computing done businesslike powerfulness supply, vigor dissipation, and architecture to optimize spot powerfulness consumption, trim unnecessary powerfulness consumption, and greatly trim PUE.
- Efficient powerfulness supply: Multiple powerfulness proviso modes, specified arsenic nonstop artillery proviso and titanium powerfulness supply, are supported to amended powerfulness proviso efficiency. Intelligent peak-shift power-on avoids a crisp summation successful instantaneous powerfulness consumption.
- Efficient vigor dissipation: A afloat bid of liquid-cooled servers are provided to efficiently dissipate vigor for high-energy components. The usage of immersive liquid cooling successful the information halfway assets excavation size volition let PUE to attack 1.01, redeeming important powerfulness successful the halfway instrumentality room.
- Efficient architecture: New architectures specified arsenic in-memory computing and near-memory computing are gradually introduced, and caller materials specified arsenic absorption random entree representation (RRAM) and signifier alteration memories (PCM) are besides introduced to trim powerfulness depletion by much than 50%.
- Efficient computing: Based connected work characteristics, the strategy implements businesslike coordination of aggregate computing powers. For example, with operation of CPU and FPGA, FPGAs tin straight guardant packets without being sent to CPUs and memories, reducing information transcript vigor depletion and spot powerfulness consumption.
Green Cloud Platform: As a unified absorption platform, the Green Cloud Platform shields the complexity of resources successful presumption of scale, type, and layout, and provides AIO abstract computing powerfulness for applications. The Green Cloud Platform aims to execute vigor redeeming and depletion reducing portion improving the Green Cloud Platform for assorted applications.
- Energy redeeming and depletion reducing: Dynamic assets accommodation based connected powerfulness absorption and work requirements tin efficaciously trim vigor consumption. At the aforesaid time, intelligent capableness prediction is implemented to program and set the assets excavation capableness successful beforehand to prevention assets consumption.
- Green empowering: The level provides close resources based connected differentiated exertion requirements (such arsenic acceleration and debased latency) to execute optimal assets adaptation. In addition, halfway basal capabilities (such arsenic database and load balancing) are shared to trim exertion vigor consumption.
VNF: Green Enabling
In presumption of Green Enabling, CN VNFs enactment arsenic the Green Enabling relation done multi-dimensional vigor saving, including the pursuing 3 aspects:
Cloud autochthonal plan and vigor redeeming native: The VNF architecture is stateless successful design, and resources tin beryllium saved by 20%. Microservices are utilized to instrumentality work sharing, and the communal work furniture of unreality autochthonal VNFs is built, reducing vigor depletion by a maximum of 10%.
High-performance UPFs and intelligent energy-saving: Hardware acceleration, CPU halfway binding, and DPDK technologies are utilized to instrumentality high-efficiency UPFs. In addition, the built-in energy-saving mode is utilized to powerfulness connected oregon slumber CPUs arsenic required successful accordance with the web postulation load. Intelligent on-duty reflection has nary interaction connected work smoothing. The forwarding level requires lone 1 carnal CPU halfway for on-duty observation, frankincense reducing vigor depletion by up to 90%.
Full-scenario backstage web equipment, greenish Enabling: Cloud-network hyper-convergence, close IoT, and different features are introduced to assistance IoT terminals specified arsenic astute energy meters, h2o meters, and nationalist motorcycle astute locks execute vigor saving. For example, the precision IoT negotiates with terminals to present a hierarchical power-saving argumentation connected demand, and instructs terminals to slumber periodically astatine the second, hour, and time levels, extending the standby clip of IoT terminals by 10 to 1,000 times.
MANO: Green Brain
It is different situation connected however to accurately show and negociate the CN portion redeeming vigor and reducing consumption. For example, these problems necessitate a greenish encephalon for precise monitoring and management.
The “Green Brain” of ZTE’s CN is based connected the full O&M workflow (plan, construction, maintenance, and optimization). Through intelligent automation connected the full workflow, the greenish translation of O&M is promoted, and a implicit acceptable of solutions for greenish construction, vigor depletion management, intelligent O&M, and vigor depletion optimization are built, truthful that vigor redeeming tin beryllium easy seen and touched and tin beryllium intelligently automated to alteration greenish operation.
Through continuous practice with industry-leading operators, ZTE 5GC Green Engine Solution is playing an progressively important relation successful the dual-carbon goal. By virtuousness of its starring products and solutions, ZTE has carried retired in-depth practice with galore operators and manufacture enterprises astir the satellite to physique low-carbon CNs arsenic greenish engines to amended the vigor ratio of information centers, velocity up the exit of aged web instrumentality with precocious vigor consumption, and physique a caller accusation infrastructure that is green, low-carbon, efficient, and intelligent, to assistance operators and manufacture customers execute the extremity of greenish translation successful the dual-carbon era, and lend to the operation of a greenish earth.
