Abstract

An information processing method includes: receiving second information from a cellular network, by an information processing device configured to perform a process related to communication through the cellular network, the second information being information that is generated by using first information indicating a status of renewable energy utilization for operation of the cellular network and that is used to control the communication; and controlling, by the information processing device, the communication by using the second information received from the cellular network.

Claims (13)

1 . A method comprising:

receiving a request from a requester for an analysis of the use of renewable energy in relation to a specific unit of network management in a network; and

sending information indicating analysis results of the use of renewable energy to the requester,

wherein the requester is an Application Function (AF) or a Network Function (NF) in the network, and

wherein the specific unit of network management is a specific Protocol Data Unit (PDU) session, a specific User Equipment (UE), or a specific network slice.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the specific unit of network management is the specific network slice or the specific PDU session.

3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the specific unit of network management is identified based on location information of a specific UE.

4 . An apparatus comprising one or more hardware processors configured to:

receive a request from a requester for an analysis of the use of renewable energy in relation to a specific unit of network management in a network; and

transmit information indicating the results of analysis regarding the use of renewable energy to the requester,

wherein the requester is an Application Function (AF) or a Network Function (NF), and

wherein the specific unit of network management is a specific Protocol Data Unit (PDU) session, a specific User Equipment (UE), or a specific network slice.

5 . The apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the specific unit of network management is the specific network slice or the specific PDU session.
