The ECOMOME project targets the modelling and the optimisation of the energy consumption of mobile networks. The telecommunications sector already represents 4% of the global energy consumption, and the user equipment and radio network infrastructure have the most significant environmental footprint in the sector. The results of the project will have a triple utility:
1) they will provide a new modelling approach and new network intelligence solutions to the academic and industrial community working on mobile networks;
2) they will help policy makers in their decisions regarding the future evolution and deployment of mobile network technologies, and
3) they will allow the general public to easily and intuitively assess the energy consumption of their mobile equipment and of the network infrastructure in a variety of scenarios.
