PHaul: A PPO-based forwarding agent for Sub6 enhanced Integrated Access and Backhaul networks
Jorge Pueyo, Daniel Camps-Mur and, Miguel Catalan-Cid
3GPP Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) allows operators to deploy outdoor mm-wave access networks in a cost-efficient manner, by reusing the same spectrum in access and backhaul…
i2Slicer: Enabling Flexible and Automated Orchestration of 5G SA End-to-End Network Slices
M. Catalan-Cid, A. Fernandez, D. Camps-Mur +1
5G network slicing implies a step forward in customizing radio access and core networks by allowing the creation of logical networks adapted to service requirements. In addition, s…
Policy-Guided ML for Energy Savings: Cell On/Off Switching under Operator QoS Constraints in Real 5G Networks
D. Reiss, M. Catalan-Cid, D. Camps-Mur +1
Energy efficiency is a critical concern in the deployment and operation of 5G networks, particularly due to the low utilization of 4G and 5G carriers during off-peak hours. While c…
Quantifying the Energy-Saving and QoS Trade-Off in Traffic Offloading for Real 4G/5G Scenarios
D. Reiss, M. Catalan-Cid, D. Camps-Mur +1
Despite the potential for higher energy efficiency in 5G networks, current 5G Non-Standalone (NSA) deployments often operate suboptimally due to low utilization of 4G and 5G carrie…
A Practical AI-Driven Strategy for Cell On/Off Switching under Adaptable QoS Constraints
David Reiss, Miguel Catalan-Cid, Daniel Camps +1
The rapid expansion of 5G networks has intensified concerns over their sustainability, as denser Radio Access Network (RAN) deployments have increased overall power consumption. Al…
COSMO: O-RAN-Based Service Management and Orchestration for Cross-Technology Multi-Tenant Radio Access Networks
M. Catalan-Cid, J. J. Aleixendri, J. Pueyo +2
The evolution toward 6G networks envisions a heterogeneous Radio Access Network (RAN) comprising diverse access technologies, such as private 5G, public 4G/5G, and Wi-Fi, managed b…
