Energy Consumption Monitoring and CO2 Emissions Estimation in Optical Access Networks: Abstract

The telecommunication infrastructure shows a considerable CO 2 emission footprint, which is growing at an exponential rate due to its expansion resulting from emerging high bandwidth applications. CO 2 awareness becomes even more important in vertical sectors such as manufacturing, where precise pow...

Summary:The telecommunication infrastructure shows a considerable CO 2 emission footprint, which is growing at an exponential rate due to its expansion resulting from emerging high bandwidth applications. CO 2 awareness becomes even more important in vertical sectors such as manufacturing, where precise power consumption monitoring is of utmost importance. This paper presents a study of a PON-powered, edge-cloud-based industrial visual inspection use-case as presented by ETSI [1]. We experimentally validate a telemetry framework that provides real-time visibility into the optical network's energy consumption. We use such telemetry to calculate an estimation for the CO 2 emissions associated to our XGS-PON testbed by following the guidelines of the ITU [2].
