The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector

5、 (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every f

6、our years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, t

7、he necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. Compliance with this Recommendation is voluntary.

8、 However, the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory provisions (to ensure, e.g., interoperability or applicability) and compliance with the Recommendation is achieved when all of these mandatory provisions are met. The words “shall“ or some other obligatory language such as “must“ and the neg

9、ative equivalents are used to express requirements. The use of such words does not suggest that compliance with the Recommendation is required of any party. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS ITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation may involve the

ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others outside of the Recommendation development process. As of the date of approval of this Recommendati

ITU-T Y.3021 (01/2012) Prepublished version 5 5 Conventions None. 6 Introduction 6.1 Background and motivation Energy saving in the information and communication technology (ICT) field is an important issue, as has been identified in designing Future Networks ITU-T Y.3001. One of the basic

36、 objectives of Future Networks is environmental awareness, and energy saving is one of the technologies used to realise this. Historically, energy saving has been studied for individual users or companies own benefits, namely the reduction of energy costs and suppression of heat for stable machine o

37、peration. The importance of these issues is increasing as the performance of network equipment improves due to denser implementation and higher energy consumption. Currently it is also becoming important from the social perspective, specifically to support the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emiss

38、ions. These issues will gain more importance in the future. This Recommendation therefore studies potential technologies and their coordinated operation, which will contribute to saving energy and to various other objectives. Contribution of ICT to reducing the environmental impact is often categori

39、sed into Green by ICT and Green of ICT. Green by ICT is a challenge to reduce the environmental impact in non-ICT sectors by using ICT. Green of ICT is a challenge to reduce the environmental impact of the ICT itself such as the reduction of electric power consumption of personal computers (PCs), se

40、rvers, and routers. The contribution of Future Networks to reducing environmental impact can therefore be categorised in the same manner as shown below. - Green by Future Networks A challenge to reduce environmental impact in non-ICT sectors by using Future Networks. Future Networks must become a us

41、eful tool for reducing the environmental impact of other sectors. Network architecture designed for smart grids for electric power distribution, or ubiquitous sensor networks that monitor environmental changes of the Earth are a few examples of contributions of Green by Future Networks. - Green of F

42、uture Networks A challenge to reduce environmental impact of Future Networks. The fundamental principle for the Future networks is that they must have minimum impact on the environment. As described above, the use of networks is considered a prospective means to reduce the environmental impact of ot

43、her sectors. Yet by doing so, it increases the volume of traffic flowing into networks, increases energy consumption of the networks accordingly, and then increases the environmental impact. Reducing the energy consumption of network facilities such as routers, switches, and servers is a direct exam

44、ple of contributions of Green of Future Networks. Each issue is important, but this Recommendation focuses on Green of Future Networks, which means energy saving of networks themselves, because energy consumption of networks is rapidly increasing as the applications on networks increases. 6.2 Lifecy

45、cle stages and levels to be considered To reduce energy consumption, it is important to analyse energy consumption at each stage in the lifecycle. In life cycle management, the following stages are typically used for analysis, for example in ITU-T L.1400. - Production (preparing raw materials and co

47、isposal/recycling In the case of networks, these stages are explained as follows. Regarding the first stage, production, preparation of raw materials for small electronics devices and composition of the equipment are included. The second stage, manufacturing, includes constructing a network by means

48、 of the equipment. For network construction, relevant pieces of equipment are transported from a manufacturers site to the construction location. Then comes the third stage, use, to operate the equipment. After the end of the service life of the network, the network including all equipment would be disposed and/or recycled in the fourth stage, disposal/recycling. Life cycle management considers all of these stages. In the case of networks, however, the third stage, use, is primarily considered because energy consumption in the “use“ stage is usually the major issue for always-o
