Important results from the project
The overall goal for the AI4Green project has been to save energy in mobile communication networks of 30-40% by utilization of AI assisted control and fault detection. The goal of saving energy has been fulfilled by development of a number of technologies and solutions such as AI based control of network elements, fault detection, simulations, experiments and radar supported ray tracing.
Expected long term effects
A direct result of results is that the participating operators Tele2 and Turkcell can now, with the help of the project results, save energy in different ways in their existing (4G/LTE) and future (5G+) radio networks. In principle, the results are not tied only to these actors, they have partly been spread in public form and can therefore be used on a general basis.
Approach and implementation
Since its inception, AI4Green has consisted of partners from 5 countries (Sweden, Finland, Turkey, France and Portugal). Great emphasis was placed on including research organization stations, small innovative suppliers and operators (also consumers of energy). The complexity in the number of countries and partners caused a delay in starting the activities, but the project has delivered according to its own set objective. Activities have included simulations and calculations, measurements, demonstrations, live tests and publications.
