Abstract
A dynamic, context-specific power dormancy and management architecture for virtualized RANs that include a PHY layer on an expansion card. The architecture includes (1) a power control agent in a programmable environment on the expansion card that obtains data from subcomponents in the programmable environment on the expansion card, correlates the data to at least a first power control policy stored at the expansion card, implements the correlated first power control policy on the expansion card; and facilitates communication of the selected correlation data and/or raw data to a non-transitory computer-readable medium at a data center; (2) a Power Control Policy Function at the data center where data is obtained from vRAN infrastructure and optimized power control policies that may be shared with the vRANs are developed; and (3) an out of band management channel that allows for direct communication between the power control agent and the data center.
