Abstract
Facilitating a scheduler for distributed unit power management in advanced communication networks is provided herein. A method includes, based on a processing load of a group of core processors being determined to be below a threshold traffic amount for a first transmission time slot, selecting, by network equipment comprising a processor, a core processor of the group of core processors for power management, resulting in an identified core processor. Selection of the core processor can be based on a configuration of the identified core processor. The method also includes, based on a category assigned to the identified core processor, controlling, by the network equipment, a power consumption of the identified core processor during a second transmission time slot. The network equipment comprises a distributed unit, and controlling the power consumption is performed in a layer 2 scheduler of the distributed unit.
