Introduction
ICT energy needs and costs will continue to increase in the future, while new mobile generations will be deployed and
will introduce new active dedicated equipment in the global network architecture.
In this context, and to reflect environmental aspects of sustainability, it is essential for telecommunications network
operators to implement effective general engineering of mobile broadband networks and sites provisioning, managing
or using those networks (i.e. ICT sites) in order to respond to critical issues of energy consumption. To guide this
process, it is essential that metrics are defined that enable energy usage to be managed more effectively.
The Global Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) of the ETSI EN 305 200 series [1] address operational infrastructures
and do not consider design or operation of individual components comprising those infrastructures.
The present document specifies the deployment of Global KPIs for energy management (KPIEM) for the mobile access
networks of broadband deployment specified in ETSI EN 305 200-2-3 [2].
NOTE: The data traffic measured in the present document does not account for non-"Subscriber Identity Module"
(SIM) traffic. This can be considered in a future revision of both ETSI EN 305 200-2-3 [2] and the
present document.
The mobile access network described in ETSI EN 305 200-2-3 [2] includes all the active components or parts of the
access network.

1 Scope
The reporting of Global KPIs in accordance with ETSI EN 305 200-2-3 [2] requires the collection of data to enable the
calculation of the following aspects:
• Objective KPI relating to task efficiency (KPI based on data_volume and total energy consumption
TE)
(KPI .
EC)
• Objective KPI relating to the use of renewable energy (KPI .
REN)
The present document supports the requirements of ETSI EN 305 200-2-3 [2] providing a framework for, and detailing,
the implementation procedures including any necessary techniques for estimation of energy consumption together with
clarification and treatment of different types of data volume.

Within the mobile access network, the term Network Distribution Node (NDN) is employed to describe a variety of
aggregations of Network Telecommunications Equipment (NTE) at locations within the backhaul network (also known
as transport network) between the Operator Site (OS) and the Base Station site accommodating a Base Station or
BaseBand Units (BBU). The BBUs are shown connected over the fronthaul links to Remote Radio Units (RRUs).
BS sites, repeaters (R) and RRUs are shown as specific examples of NDNs.
Figure 1 shows certain NDNs within dashed boxes to indicate that they are:
• optional;
• not restricted in number to the configurations shown.
The present document also considers the use of small cell and Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) implementations.
4.2 KPIs for energy management
4.2.1 Global KPI (KPI ) for mobile access networks
EM
From ETSI EN 305 200-2-3 [2], KPI is a combination of two separate KPIs, in a common assessment period, as
EM
follows:
1) the Objective KPI for task effectiveness expressed as KPI (see clause 4.2.2.2);
TE
2) the Objective KPI for renewable energy contribution expressed as KPI (see clause 4.2.2.3);

and both of these Objective KPIs incorporate a third Objective KPIs for energy consumption expressed as KPI (see
EC
clause 4.2.2.1).
From ETSI EN 305 200-2-3 [2], KPI is defined as:
EM

The Global KPI, KPI , and the underpinning Objective KPIs are primarily intended for trend analysis - not to enable
EM
comparison between mobile access networks.
4.2.2 Objective KPIs
4.2.2.1 Energy consumption (KPI )
EC
4.2.2.1.1 General
The present document supports the evaluation of the energy consumption required to provide a given level of service as
a primary objective.
From ETSI EN 305 200-2-3 [2], KPI , for a given assessment period, is defined mathematically as:
EC
= +
where, for the assessment period:
j = index of NDN sites
N = total number of OS
M = total number of NDN sites
C = energy consumption of all the mobile access network NTE at OS
OS i
i
NOTE 1: C includes the energy consumption of the supporting infrastructure at OSs where all the NTE is under
OS
common governance.
= energy consumption of all the mobile access network NTE at NDN supplied from the utility, from
C
j
NDN
j
upstream sources or generated on-site
NOTE 2: C includes the energy consumption of the supporting infrastructure at NDNs where all the NTE is
NDN
under common governance.
The note text in the explanations of the parameters are taken from ETSI EN 305 200-2-3 [2]. However, it should be
noted that network and location sharing (see clause 5.2.1.5) implies that not all NTE at OS and NDN sites is under
common governance and the present document refines the approach taken in such situations.
The above formula and terms do not take account of equipment that is powered by third parties including small cell
(microcell, picocell and femtocell) and FWA equipment powered by the end-user. This is not addressed in ETSI
EN 305 200-2-3 [2] and the inclusion of such equipment requires a modification to the above formula (see
clause 4.2.2.1.2).
It has to be considered that a mobile access network is complex and consists of a large number of distributed sites
accommodating BS and RRU equipment. A typical MNO has many thousand sites, up to tens of thousands. The number
of sites is predicted to increase further with the advent of 5G.
ETSI
---------------------- Page: 12 ----------------------
13 ETSI TS 105 200-2-3 V1.2.1 (2019-12)
KPI can be either measured or estimated:
EC
• KPI is the energy consumption obtained through direct measurement by the MNO or electricity
EC-measured
supplier, or provided by another MNO if equipment is co-located in the OS or the NDN;
• KPI is the energy consumption obtained through direct measurement by the MNO or electricity
EC-estimated
supplier, or provided by another MNO if equipment is co-located in the OS or the NDN.
NOTE 3: This is applied in mixed, "access/core", network sites where equipment of other network segments is
present (core, fixed access, etc.) and the energy split is not made through continuous measurement.
Estimation is also needed for the energy consumed by network equipment in small cells, powered from
CP as described in clause 4.2.2.1.2.
4.2.2.1.2 Small cells in CP, FWA, public WiFi and "street level" equipment within the
calculation of KPI
EC
For coverage extension, offloading of data traffic and to improve Quality of Service (QoS), operators install small cells
near the users' location and propose that end-users acquire service via a cell in their own location. These cells can be
deployed in different places such as:
• microcells, typically outdoors, at "street level";
• picocells (typically installed in residential, commercial and industrial premises);
• femtocells in homes or other CP which are connected to, or integrated within, CP equipment;
• WiFi access points for public WiFi service.
The consumption of the equipment or an apportionment relevant to the mobile access network, even if it is not directly
accounted for by the MNO, has an integral role in powering the mobile access network and should be part of the KPI .
EC
The estimation of this consumption can be made by multiplying the quantity of such equipment by its maximum energy
consumption.
The presence of CP powered equipment within the mobile access network requires an amendment of the formula for
KPI of clause 4.2.2.2.1 as follows:
EC
= + +
with:
=
where, for the assessment period:
k = index of small cells
P = total number of small cells under consideration
= energy consumption of small cell k
Considering the power needed by small cells varies from a few watts for home equipment femtocells up to 200 W for
microcells, the total amount of energy could become significant as the number of such equipment grows dramatically in
the coming years. For example, the picocell function integrated within an Access Gateway (AG) can consume up to
25 % of the maximum AG energy consumption (as specified in the equipment's technical specification).
NOTE: This represents the energy portion of the AG to deliver the mobile service and its need to remain always
on.
The energy consumption of the TE of FWA services (that can be integrated within the antenna) should also be
accounted for.

As a result the total C is reported separately (see clause 7).
