We investigate power-aware dynamic DU/CU placement for a 3-layer C-RAN architecture in optical metro-access networks. We show that adaptive placement and reconfiguration of both DU and CU locations based on traffic allows to significantly decrease energy consumption, paying off only a negligible increase in service blocking.

Abstract

We investigate power-aware dynamic DU/CU placement for a 3-layer C-RAN architecture in optical metro-access networks. We show that adaptive placement and reconfiguration of both DU and CU locations based on traffic allows to significantly decrease energy consumption, paying off only a negligible increase in service blocking.
