On the way to AI-supported network automation: traffic forecast-based, load-adaptive control of optical link capacities
Fraunhofer HHI – In diesem Blog Post wird eine Methode zur dynamischen Anpassung der Verbindungskapazität auf der Grundlage von ML-gestützten Verkehrsprognosen für optische Metro-Aggregationsnetze vorgestellt. Die Methode wird auch mit der traditionellen statischen Zuweisung von Verbindungskapazitäten verglichen. Es zeigt sich, dass die dynamische Anpassung der Verbindungskapazität die Kapazitätsüberversorgung deutlich reduzieren kann und damit Einsparungen bei…

Trend reversal in the demand for electricity in Germany’s ICT sector by 2033
There are currently signs of a trend reversal in the demand for electricity in ICT. According to calculations carried out by Fraunhofer IZM, the annual demand for electricity in ICT is rising again since 2023, from around 50 TWh to over 72 TWh in 2033. In a recent study, Dr. phil. Lutz Stobbe and his team model the environmental impact of the production and use of information and communication technologies (ICT) in Germany over a period from 2013 to 2033. The ICT study was commissioned by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF).

mioty® - Wireless communication technology for energy-autonomous sensors
Fraunhofer IIS - The increasing demand for wireless remote-readable sensors, such as in smart metering applications, requires a resource-efficient realization. In the Project Green ICT @ FMD, scientists at Fraunhofer IIS are working on energy-autonomous sensors. A key element here is radio communication. With measurements in the lab, Fraunhofer IIS scientists can determine the energy requirements of various radio technologies in different application scenarios and compare them to find the most energy-efficient solution. High energy efficiency and immunity to interference characterize the mioty® radio communication developed by Fraunhofer IIS.
