Project description
How to solve the energy crunch in future networks
As we push towards the future, the demand for connectivity is skyrocketing, driven by the promises of 5G and 6G. However, this leap brings an ‘energy crunch’ with increased power consumption that could undermine bandwidth enhancements. With the support of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the ENGCoN project tackles this critical challenge by designing an energy-efficient communication network. To address both the energy crunch and cost issues in ICT, it uses detailed energy analyses and updates equipment based on cutting-edge semiconductor technology. The project will provide benchmarks and strategies for sustainable tech deployment, supporting the goals for a green, secure, and resilient IT infrastructure while maximising the societal impact of emerging technologies.
Objective
The communication networks of the future are expected to manage an explosive demand for connectivity and be sufficiently robust
to deliver on all the promised benefits of 5G and 6G. A significant challenge to achieving such ambitions is the “energy crunch”: the
use of increased power will inevitably create problems for enhancing bandwidth. However, the ICT sector itself has the potential not
only to solve the energy crunch in networks but also to deliver significant savings on energy costs.
My Fellowship addresses this energy crunch and energy efficiency in future networks. This project will develop a comprehensive
design of an energy-efficient communication network that can manage the colossal demands for data. It will combine top-down and
bottom-up energy analyses to obtain a comprehensive view of energy use and trends. It shall survey equipment over time and
renormalize them based on the latest developments in the field of semiconductor electronics. My work will facilitate building new
models for emerging technologies such as 5G/6G core and federated artificial intelligence. By establishing an accurate picture of
energy trends, it will establish key benchmarks and challenges for products and emerging technologies related to their energy use
and sustainability. It will present strategies for sustainable deployment and operation of technologies and ways to maximize their
impact on sustainability across society. Its outcomes will lead to the enhancement of energy efficiency of communication networks
and support European Commission’s digital strategies, e.g. to sustain a green, secure and resilient IT infrastructure.
