Energy-aware Scheduling of Virtualized Base Stations in O-RAN with Online Learning. (arXiv:2208.09956v2 [cs.NI] UPDATED)

The design of Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN) compliant systems for
configuring the virtualized Base Stations (vBSs) is of paramount importance for
network operators. This task is challenging since optimizing the vBS scheduling
procedure requires knowledge of parameters, which are erratic and demanding to
obtain in advance. In this paper, we propose an online learning algorithm for
balancing the performance and energy consumption of a vBS. This algorithm
provides performance guarantees under unforeseeable conditions, such as
non-stationary traffic and network …
