Standards for Energy Efficient Virtualization, Content Distribution and Big Data in Beyond 5G Networks
Power consumption in communication networks and the supporting computing
systems continues to increase due to the increase in traffic and processing
requirements, and due to the relatively slower improvements in energy
efficiency. Future networks are expected to continue to move computing
algorithms and capabilities into the network including increased use of
analytics, machine learning and intelligence applied to big data in the
network, with content caching and virtualization. This article summarizes the
key features of five new IEEE standards currently being developed to improve
the energy efficiency of networks beyond 5G
