Position summary

New generation networks will enable AI/ML based explorations in the system to enable energy arbitrage to operate more efficiently. The high precision of AI algorithms can provide several benefits for telecom networks enabling this new functionality in network, that will serve and provide new revenue streams for operators.

In this study, an AI-based algorithms will be investigated to prioritize energy efficiency recommendations, and smart energy service without sacrificing Quality of service. The new services are being constructed in different ways while at the same time enable the potential for energy savings in Radio Base Station. By utilizing lightweight architecture and energy-aware optimization, it allows us not only to lower power costs but also to improve operational efficiency in telecom network.

The thesis is suitable for one student and would involve the following steps (can be suited adjusted to research interest of the candidate):

Literature review: Identifying relevant concepts and algorithms for telecommunications.

Enable a network view of all entities to secure right metrics.

Apply: Suitable AI/ML algorithms for the purpuse and use case, consider all levels of network.

Evaluation and test: Obtained model for the considered use case

Qualifications

We are looking for a highly motivated student who seeks challenging research work with the freedom to propose and develop new ideas. To be successful in this thesis work, the candidate would need the following:
