Section: 6.15a.5.2 Requirements
Content: Subject to operator’s policy and agreement with 3rd party, the 5G system shall be able to expose information on energy consumption for serving this 3rd party. NOTE 1: Energy consumption information can include ratio of renewable energy and carbon emission information when available. The reporting period could be set, e.g., on monthly or yearly basis and can vary based on location. NOTE 2: The energy consumption information can be related to the network resources of network slice, NPNs, etc. Subject to operator’s policy,agreement with 3rd party and consent by the customer, the 5G system shall be able to expose the network performance statistic information (e.g. the data rate, packet delay and packet loss) together with energy consumption information resulting from service provided to the customer, to the authorized third party, related to the same time interval e.g. hourly or daily. Subject to operator’s policy, the 5G system shall support a means to expose energy consumption to authorized third parties for services, including energy consumption information related to the condition of energy credit limit (e.g. when the energy consumption is reaching the energy credit limit). Subject to operator policy, the 5G system shall provide means for the trusted 3rd party, to configure which network performance statistic information (e.g. the data rate, packet delay and packet loss) for the communication service provided to the 3rd party, needs to be exposed along with the information on energy consumption for serving this 3rd party. Based on operator’s policy and agreement with 3rd party, the 5G system shall be able to expose energy consumption information and prediction on energy consumption of the 5G network per application service to the 3rd party. Subject to operator’s policy and agreement with 3rd party, the 5G system shall support a mechanism for the 3rd party to provide current or predicted energy consumption information over a specific period of time.
