What’s all this “green networking” about?

• Energy is becoming the issue of our futureWe depend on energy which is becoming scarce
Energy consumption is causing dramatic climate changes
• We must cope with this and reduce energy consumption in all sectors,
ICT and networking included
The problem

• The main global warming culprit is carbon dioxide, CO2
• Gases that react to form smog
• Fine particles such as black carbon
• 80% of the increase of CO2 in the air in the last century is due to fossil fuel burning (20% deforestation)
Who is the culprit?

• Information and Communication Technologies play a positive role for energy saving:– moving bits instead of atoms
• teleworking and telecommuting• e-commerce• intelligent transport systems• electronic billing
– sensors to monitor and manage environment
What about ICT?

The ICT sector is a heavy consumer!
… but
“ICT alone is responsible of a percentage which vary from 2% to 10% of the world power consumption.”
“Electricity demand of ICT is almost 11% of the overall final electricity consumption in Germany.”
“The ICT sector produces some 2 to 3% of total emissions of greenhouse gases.”

• Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) refers to the quantitative characterization of the environmental impacts of products and services and includes– Manufacture– Operation – Disposal
• A life cycle perspective can lead to a better understanding of environmental management
This is particularly true for IT products
Life cycle matters

• Example: 2-gram memory chip requires – at least 1,200 grams of fossil fuels – 72 grams of chemicals
• Fossil fuels for production are some 600 times the weight of the chip (the total fossil fuel to produce a car is 1-2 times its weight)
• Purification to semiconductor grade materials is energy intensive
• Due to its extremely low-entropy, organized structure, the materials intensity of a microchip is orders of magnitude higher than that of “traditional” goods.

• In 2006, U.S. data centers used 61 TWh of electricity, corresponding to 1.5% of national consumption
• Double the amount consumed in 2000
• Based on current trends, energy consumption will continue to grow 12% per year, due to increasing demand for the services they provide

• Algorithms to free up servers and put them into sleep mode or to manage load on the servers in a more energy-efficient way
• Sensors identify which servers would be best to shut down, based on environmental conditions
• Use more efficient components• Reduce cooling needs (cooling consumes as
much as 40% of the operating costs) through specific physical layouts

Cellular networks• Base stations are responsible for about 80% of
energy consumed by a cellular network• A typical BS consumes from 500W to 3KW, with an
average consumption per year of 35 MWh (as much as 10 families)
• In Italy 60,000 BSs, leading to 2.1 TWh/year, about 0.7 % of total Italian consumption of electricity
• 300 M€ electricity bill for the operators
• About 1,2 Mton of emitted CO2 equivalent per year

Dynamic network planning
• Networks are planned based on the peak hour traffic
• Due to natural traffic variability (i.e., typical day/night traffic profile) the network results over-dimensioned during long periods of time
Switch off portions of the network

• Assume that a fraction x of the base stations (cells) are switched off
• The BSs that remain on are in charge of ― the traffic of the cells that are off (the
desired QoS must still be guaranteed)― the radio coverage (transmission power
might be increased to guarantee coverage)

But, we have multiple operators
• Several competing mobile operators cover the same area with their equipment
• Networks are dimensioned over the peak hour traffic
• During low traffic periods the resources of one operator are sufficient to carry all the traffic
Make operators cooperate to reduce energy consumption

Different QoS
• When operators guarantee different QoS levels, the network with the best QoS switches off only when the other operator can guarantee similar QoS
• This translates into a traffic reduction factor
MM f)f()(1 f)f()(1 AA
Same QoS Different QoS: QoS of A is tighter

Multiple Operators
• With more than 2 operators, the space of possible switch-off patterns explodes
• Different roaming schemes are possible, during the switch-off phase:– Roaming-to-One: Roaming traffic goes to the
operator which remains on all the time– Roaming-to-All: Roaming traffic is distributed to
active operators

• Energy issues are crucial, even for networking– Design criteria must be changed – Energy consumption/wastage is a variable to
be taken into account in design and performance evaluation
– Future Internet design will have to cope with it– Virtual operators appear to be an interesting
option
