Abstract

A method implemented at one or more base stations for a power management of the one or more base stations in a wireless communication network is disclosed. The method includes transmitting, by the one or more base stations, a plurality of Key Performance Indicator (KPI) parameters associated with the one or more base stations to a federal server controller. The method includes receiving, by the one or more base stations from the federal server controller, a KPI relationship predicting a future load based on the plurality of KPI parameters associated with the one or more base stations. The method includes adjusting, by the one or more base stations, a Central Processing Unit (CPU) frequency associated with the one or more base stations autonomously based on the KPI relationship for managing the future load associated with the one or more base stations.

Claims (48)

1 . A method performed by a base station for a power management in a communication network, the method comprising:

transmitting, to a central management entity (CME), a key performance indicator (KPI) parameter of the base station;

receiving, from a federal server controller via the CME, a KPI relationship determined based on one or more KPI parameters of one or more base stations including the base station, wherein the KPI relationship is used for predicting a future load of the one or more base stations; and

adjusting a central processing unit (CPU) frequency of the base station based on the KPI relationship.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein adjusting the CPU frequency comprises applying the KPI relationship through a CPU governor of the base station.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein

transmitting the KPI parameter comprises:

collecting the KPI parameter from a E2 node or an O-cloud associated with the base station in a periodic manner;

determining whether a value associated with the KPI parameter is greater than a threshold value associated with the KPI parameter; and

in response to determining that the value is greater than the threshold value, transmitting, to the CME, the KPI parameter.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the KPI parameter is one of an average load, a CPU Frequency, a downlink throughput, an uplink throughput, a plurality of user equipment (UE) connected to the one or more base stations, a maximum throughput associated with the one or more base stations, an average plurality of UE connected to the one or more base stations, a maximum plurality of UE connected to the one or more base stations, an average CPU usage, an average memory usage, a maximum memory usage, a minimum memory usage, an average solid state drive (SSD) usage, a maximum SSD usage, or a minimum SSD usage.

5 . A method performed by a central management entity (CME) for a power management of one or more base stations in a communication network, the method comprising:

receiving, from the one or more base stations, a plurality of key performance indicator (KPI) parameters of the one or more base stations;

generating a machine learning (ML) based model based on the plurality of KPI parameters;
