Mapping of Terminologies Related to Energy in Communication Networks Across Standards

Abstract

Energy efficiency has become a critical design objective in modern communication networks, driven by increasing data demand and sustainability requirements. However, the lack of consistent terminology across major standardization bodies such as 3GPP, ITU-T, ETSI, and IETF creates challenges for interoperability, data integration, and comparative analysis.

This work proposes a unified framework for mapping terminologies related to energy efficiency in communication networks across these standards. The approach involves extracting key concepts such as energy efficiency metrics, power consumption, sleep modes, and load adaptation mechanisms, followed by semantic alignment and addressing gaps among standards. The resulting unified dataset can serve as a foundation for cross-standard interoperability, identification of inconsistencies across standards, propose improvement and new KPIs, and simplify complex standards into one coherent model.

Instructions

We have manually extracted terms related to energy from different standards and aligned them to create version 1 of this unified data set. This may be useful for members in the scientific community to understand different standards, inconsistencies and gap therewith, leading to new terms and other improvements.
