ETSI Workshop on ICT Energy Efficiency and Environmental SustainabilityJune 3, 2015

ATIS in Brief

Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions:

A leading ICT organization with more than 30 years experience

close to 200 member companies to define, address and advance

technology solutions and standards to support the timely roll out of

new products and services.

STEP: Sustainability in Telecom,

Energy and Protection Committee

• One of ATIS’ 15 committees

• Develops standards for telecommunications equipment

and environments in the areas of energy efficiency,

environmental impacts, power, and protection.

• Enables vendors, operators, and their customers to

design, deploy, and operate reliable, environmentally

sustainable, and energy-efficient communications

technologies.

• STEP-TEE subcommittee responsible for energy efficiency

standards

ATIS Messages: 2013 ETSI Workshop

Alignment in Standardization

5

• Many regional standardization organizations are

developing Energy Efficiency Measurement Standards

• Creates duplication of effort in standards work

• Multiple test methods for same equipment types

• Incurs extra cost to equipment manufacturers

• Different results create uncertainty in industry

• Which measurement results to believe?



What Is (Not) Meant By Alignment

6

Alignment is about limiting differences, not eliminating them

• Alignment does not mean “100% Identical”

• Regional differences will always exist

• Our standards should reflect these differences

• Aligned Standards deliver:

• Similar metric values for identical products

• Similar rankings of different products

• “X” consistently better than “Y”



Benefits of Alignment

• Alignment fosters credibility

• Similar results validate the measurement procedures

• Alignment improves confidence

• Difficult to refute results when other Standards agree

• Alignment encourages wider adoption of Standards

• Industry sees value in results

7

Alignment leads to trust in all Standards

All Standards benefit by wider acceptance

ATIS Progress On Alignment:

Base Station Energy Efficiency Standard

• Original metric:

• Original test environment was static

• Traffic, Channel, User Models remained constant

• Base Station did not adapt or respond in any way

• Base Station EE Standard was re-opened to:

• Fix repeatability issues

• Introduce dynamic measurement environment

TEER kbps/Watt


Implementing Alignment

Key Agreements Within ATIS

• Alignment between ATIS/ETSI a primary goal

• Test cost and result credibility the main reasons

• Alignment definition: At a minimum, ATIS/ETSI

Measurement Methods should have the same test

equipment setup

• Alignment with ETSI would proceed in areas where

• ATIS comfortable with technical solution

• North American interests could be accommodated

In Consideration of ETSI ES 202 706

Additional Agreements Within ATIS

10

Agreements supportive of ETSI ES 202 706 contents

Foundation set for alignment

• Acknowledged ETSI Static and Dynamic Methods

• Base Station Input Power vs Energy Efficiency

• With a Static measurement set-up:

• Energy consumption provides useful information

• “Useful work” may not reflect real-world environments

• Measuring “Useful work” of a base station:

• Provides context to energy consumption measurement

• Under dynamic conditions provides more comprehensive

analysis of base station performance


Outcome of Alignment Effort

Base Station Input Power Measurements

• Worked very hard to align with ETSI method

• Widespread Industry adoption of ETSI method

acknowledged

• Similarities between ATIS and ETSI Standards include:

• Identical Test Equipment setup

• Identical Base Station configurations

• Large percentage of measured data is common

11



Base Station Input Power Measurements

• ATIS Standard builds on ETSI scope by providing

• Methods to test and compare different Base Station

Power Classes

• Comparisons based on design intent instead of fixed

configurations

• Measurements at additional RF Load Values

12



Key Difference Between ATIS and ETSI

• Based on five Base Station Input Power Measurements

• Adopted ETSI 10%, 30%, and 50% RF Load Configurations

• Added 70% and 90% RF Loads

• Extra loads satisfy need to understand Energy

Consumption under all Operating Load Conditions

• Adaptable weighting factors for any deployment

13

Identical Measurement Setup; Unique regional Metric

Alignment goal achieved!

Next Steps: Standard for

Base Station Energy Efficiency

• Issue for new Standard opened (May 2015)

• Extension of Base Station Input Power Standard

• Beginning with a clean slate, with expectations of:

• “Useful Work per Watt” type metric

• Dynamic Measurement Environment

• Interested in parallel development with ETSI efforts

• Collaborative partnership desired

• Opportunity to share best practices since base station

EE Standards are not yet mature

14


ATIS View: Results of Collaboration

• ATIS and ETSI publish independent Standards

• Separate procedures for consensus and balloting

• Collaborations consist of joint information sessions

• Share information, have technical discussions

• Not intended to decide on standardized content

• Intended outcomes

• Similar, repeatable measurement procedures

• Similar raw measurement data

• Unique metrics which can reflect regional differences

15


Summary

16

• ATIS has a strong portfolio of Energy Efficiency

Measurement Standards

• Alignment of these Standards in everyone’s best interest

• ATIS/ETSI Base Station Standard Alignment Beginning

• Identical static test setup; unique metric

• ATIS looks forward to future opportunities for

collaboration with ETSI
