Summary

Recommendation ITU-T M.3381 provides requirements for energy saving management of a 5G radio access network (RAN) system with artificial intelligence (AI). Recommendation ITU-T M.3381 explains the requirements of using AI technology to achieve energy saving management for communication units and virtualized hardware resources of a 5G RAN system, via an element management system (EMS) and open interfaces provided by vendors, from the operation support system (OSS) level. In addition, this Recommendation includes process recommendations for sending intelligent energy saving strategies from OSS to EMS and then to wireless equipment.

This Recommendation describes functional requirements for energy saving management of 5G RAN system with AI, and use cases of energy saving management of 5G RAN system with AI.
