BCG Deliverable 2

The BCG2 project proposes to separate the signaling and data transmission in a wireless network. Such separation allow efficient and dynamic network configuration according to the required load. This exploitation of the load variation allows the scalability of the network in terms of energy consumption. In deliverable number 1 the first requirements on the network architecture were discussed. Here, the first reference models for the evaluation of the concept are presented. The aim is to use these common models for the performance evaluation of different solutions. Therefore, the savings in terms of energy consumption in different methods for context extraction, resource management and network configuration can be estimated. Here baseline models for the Network Layout, Load Model, base station Power Consumption Models, Context Management and Resource Management are provided. Furthermore, it is important to highlight that such models are permanently being refined and, therefore this document will be updated along the project execution.
