| 15 | | **Rising demand for next-generation wireless networks, from 5G to 6G, is driving up energy consumption and operational costs. This project will build upon existing work and the current codebase of a digital twin model to test which specific units in Open-Radio Access Networks (O-RAN) can be turned ON/OFF to optimize energy efficiency. Our group will explore various configurations of O-RAN components to determine which setups can best maintain network coverage during different types of traffic loads periods.** |
