Imagine if your phone network could automatically dim its lights and power down parts of its brain when fewer people are using it, without slowing down your connection. This project uses AI to predict when and where data is needed, adjusting the hardware and signals in real-time to stop wasting electricity. It's like having a smart thermostat for the entire cellular grid.
Mobile networks face a conflict between the need for more data capacity and the rising energy costs and environmental impact of powering base stations.
An AI-driven 'Intelligent Plane' for O-RAN architectures and energy-optimized power amplifier controlling schemes.
If you are a network operator dealing with skyrocketing electricity bills for base stations — this project developed AI-based procedures that adapt energy consumption based on user patterns to lower overall power use.
If you are a hardware vendor dealing with inefficient power amplifiers — this project developed radio-unit controlling schemes and hardware acceleration engines that reduce power consumption compared to generic compute platforms.
If you are a city infrastructure provider dealing with the high cost of installing new base stations for more capacity — this project developed cell-free architectures and Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces to distribute radio power more efficiently.
Based on available project data, specific pricing or implementation costs are not provided.
The project uses O-RAN as a baseline architecture, which is designed for disaggregation and virtualisation, suggesting it is built for scalable network environments.
Based on available project data, the licensing terms and IP ownership among the 12 partners are not specified.
It leverages the O-RAN standard and its interfaces to allow data and AI models to be exchanged between network functions.
The project period runs from 2023-01-01 to 2025-06-30, indicating the research and demonstration phase concludes in mid-2025.
The consortium is heavily weighted toward commercial application, with a 75% industry ratio consisting of 9 industrial partners, including 3 SMEs. This strong industrial presence, spanning 6 countries, suggests the project is focused on practical market viability rather than purely academic research.
