It is expected that the 6G architecture will bring much better network economics and energy efficiency through a heterogeneous architecture that natively blurs the boundary between dedicated network infrastructure and devices. In this context, we foresee that 6G devices will not only be communication endpoints, but they will also be able to act as active network nodes in a data path. As the impetus of climate change calls for a sustainable 6G system design approach toward carbon neutrality, it is time to revisit the power management strategies across devices and networks in cellular systems in a fundamental and holistic manner.

在通往可持续 6G 系统的道路上重新审视系统能源足迹和电源效率

预计 6G 架构将通过原生模糊专用网络基础设施和设备之间边界的异构架构带来更好的网络经济性和能源效率。在此背景下，我们预见 6G 设备将不仅是通信端点，它们还将能够充当数据路径中的主动网络节点。由于气候变化的推动力要求采用可持续的 6G 系统设计方法来实现碳中和，现在是时候以基本和整体的方式重新审视蜂窝系统中跨设备和网络的电源管理策略了。
