This repository contains the code and methodology to address the energy consumption modeling in 5G networks. The goal is to design a machine learning model to accurately estimate and optimize energy consumption in base stations under varying configurations and conditions.
5G networks provide enhanced services but at the cost of increased energy consumption due to higher processing requirements, denser deployments, and wider bandwidths. To optimize energy usage, this challenge focuses on:
- Modeling energy consumption based on architecture, configurations, traffic, and energy-saving methods.
- Generalizing energy consumption predictions across:
- Different base station products.
- New base station configurations.
Develop a model to estimate energy consumption of base station products, considering:
- Engineering configurations.
- Traffic conditions.
- Energy-saving methods.
Generalize the model across new base station products using data from existing products.
Generalize the model for new configurations with minimal additional data.
The model performance is evaluated using the Weighted Mean Absolute Percentage Error (WMAPE), where weights emphasize new devices or configurations in the test set. The final ranking is based on minimizing WMAPE.
- Tackling a regression problem for energy consumption prediction.
- Understanding domain knowledge in 5G networks and energy consumption patterns.
- Designing and training ANN architectures with optimal activation functions.
- Optimizing MAE, MAPE, and WMAPE metrics.
- Ensuring no future data leakage in predictions.
- Accelerator: GPU P100
