Energy efficiency and AI-driven automation of 5G networks

This project will allow Ericsson to develop a new framework for the automatic control and management of 5G/5GB networks based on the O-Cloud/O-RAN architecture, integrating environmental models and metrics to minimize the ecological footprint of the whole ecosystem in real-time. We will demonstrate the results of the project in two use cases: the smart city (in Montreal) and smart transportation (in Toronto). Ericsson will exploit these research results to improve the effectiveness of many strategic 5G products. According to our estimate, the project has the potential to reduce approximately 800k tonnes of CO2e per year, or 8 million round trips by air between Montreal and Toronto.
