Renewable Energy Powered and Open RAN-Based Architecture for 5G Fixed Wireless Access Provisioning in Rural Areas

Anselme Ndikumana, Kim Khoa Nguyen, Mohamed Cheriet · 2024 · IEEE Transactions on Green Communications and Networking

Summary. This paper proposes a renewable energy-powered 5G Fixed Wireless Access system using Open RAN architecture to serve rural and low-density areas cost-effectively. The system uses three nested control loops to optimize radio and energy resource allocation across edge cloud infrastructure. The authors employ reinforcement learning and convex optimization to balance communication performance with energy costs, achieving 97% compliance with service delay requirements while reducing deployment expenses.
