• Help operators minimize energy consumption, reduce carbon emissions, and protect the earth's ecology.

Based on the consideration of large-scale application and replicable promotion, this project designs a vertical hierarchical architecture of network energy-saving micro-service. The architecture consists of "collection – perception – analysis - decision - execution", which could realize flexible deployment of components with customization capabilities and meet the differentiated requirements in disparate users. This project obtains network indicators from operators through unified data acquisition API interface. Meanwhile, the project uses big data technology and artificial intelligence algorithm to mine energy-saving space and time in order to match the optimal energy-saving technology. Eventually, the project sends energy-saving strategy via the standard command execution API. This project has been applied in more than 20 provinces in China on a large scale. The IT technology adopted is universal and reproducible.

Global environmental governance is facing unprecedented difficulties. Energy conservation and emission reduction are the key means to cope with rising temperatures in global environmental governance. China has scheduled to reach the goal of peaking carbon dioxide emissions by 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality by 2060 (the two-carbon goal) in its development strategy. In the field of communication, the issue of high-power consumption of 5G network has been the focus of the industry, hence the large-scale commercial use of 5G will put pressure on environmental protection and enterprise operations. This project is committed to solving the problem of high-power consumption of 5G network, so as to build a green network with both energy efficiency and superior performance, which facilitates the large-scale commercial use of 5G network. The project team plans the phased direction and objectives. At the present stage, the project achievements have been applied and deployed on a large scale in China Mobile's 5G construction, and great progress has been made in energy saving and cost reduction. In the future, with the continuous development and application of site-level and network-level energy saving technologies, the project will continue to update and iteration, which has good sustainability.

This project commits to building 5G network with both energy efficiency and superior performance. We help operators realize energy conservation and emission reduction, thereby reducing costs. On the other hand, this project also drives the attention and implementation of the entire communication industry in energy conservation and emission reduction, which promotes the sustainable development of communication industry. It sets a digital and green benchmark for global ecological protection.
