— 1 min read

The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) published a patent application under the title "NETWORK ENERGY EFFICIENCY INDICATION METHOD, INDICATOR AND SYSTEM THEREOF" (WO/2011/150785) on December 08. Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. filed the application on May 30, 2011, under Application No. PCT/CN2011/074843. The invention proposes a network energy efficiency indication method, indicator, and system, which aims to display network energy efficiency status in real-time with high efficiency. The method involves acquiring reporting data from network elements, performing pre-analysis processing to obtain valid data, and calculating the network energy efficiency (NEE) parameter based on the traffic data and power consumption data.

Key Takeaways:

  • The patent application discloses a network energy efficiency indication method that involves acquiring reporting data from network elements and performing pre-analysis processing to obtain valid data for calculating the NEE parameter.
  • The valid data includes traffic data and power consumption data, which are used to calculate the NEE parameter.
  • The NEE parameter is displayed in real-time to indicate the network energy efficiency status.
  • The method also includes a network energy efficiency indicator and system for displaying the network energy efficiency status with high efficiency and real-time.
  • The inventors, Liu Xuanpeng, Duan Xiaoming, and Zhang Xiwen, are affiliated with Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
  • The patent application was filed on May 30, 2011, under Application No. PCT/CN2011/074843.
