SAMBAS - Sustainable and Adaptive Ultra-High Capacity Micro Base Stations

5G可以说是迄今为止最耗能的移动技术，其可扩展性接近地球和社会在环境和实际承受能力范围内的极限。在可持续和零能耗终端设备方面已经有了大量研究，但在能源效率和背后耗电的网络基础设施的可持续性方面仍有待实现巨大的收益。Sambas的项目愿景代表了一种全面的方法，以推动更可持续的B5G/6G无线通信网络，其中联合考虑无线电、网络和服务级别的根本性创新将导致电力需求的大幅降低。Sambas为实现这一目标做出了贡献，开发了一种创新的可持续毫米波(MmWave)微基站，它有效地利用了可再生能源的收集，并结合了极其节能的硬件和通信协议，以降低功耗&gt；99%。在网络层面，我们的目标是通过分布式带内上下文传播和能源感知网络将信令开销和能源需求降低一个数量级。最后，通过联合能源感知网络和云资源优化，开发出可持续的基于毫米波的端到端系统。我们的目标是在延迟、超高容量数据速率(&gt；44 GB/S)、可靠性和覆盖范围方面实现B5G性能，同时将对不可再生能源的依赖降低99%。集成样机将通过多用户室内交互式虚拟现实应用程序和室外车辆通信应用程序进行验证。

5G is arguably the most energy-hungry mobile technology yet, with a scalability close to the limit of what the planet and society can environmentally and practically afford. There is already plenty of research towards sustainable and zero-energy end-devices, but huge gains in the energy efficiency and sustainability of the power-hungry network infrastructure behind them are still to be achieved. SAMBAS' project vision represents a holistic approach in driving a significantly more sustainable B5G/6G wireless communications network, where joint considerations of radical innovations at radio, network, and service levels will lead to critically reduced power needs. SAMBAS contributes towards this goal by developing an innovative sustainable millimetre wave (mmWave) micro base station that makes effective use of renewable energy harvesting in combination with extremely energy-efficient hardware, and communications protocols to reduce power consumption >99%. At the networking level, we aim to reduce signalling overhead and energy requirements by an order of magnitude through distributed in-band context dissemination and energy-aware networking. Finally, through joint energy-aware network and cloud resource optimization, a sustainable end-to-end mmWave-based system will be developed. We target B5G performance in terms of latency, ultra-high capacity data rates (>44 Gb/s), reliability, and range, while targeting a 99% reduction in the reliance on non-renewable energy sources. An integrated prototype will be validated via a multi-user indoor interactive virtual reality application, and an outdoors vehicular communications application.
