5G Enabled Transformative Co-design and Co-simulation Framework for Grid Decarbonization and Modernization

Abstract

5G is a breakthrough technology to enable a fully mobile and connected society, and a 5G-enabled digital continuum will be one of the critical foundations for clean energy economy and grid modernization. The clean energy transformation not only requires innovative manufacturing, algorithm, application, and cross-domain co-simulation, but also a systematic evaluation and comprehensive support on the microelectronic and architectural computing customization to enable and maximize the high renewable penetration in the future power grid. The co-design of decarbonized grid, reliable yet efficient communication, and affordable yet ubiquitous computing will unlock the potential of almost any available tools for the undergoing clean energy transformation. 5G is also an opportunity to rethink the paradigm of infrastructure planning, as computing will be one of the core services for society alongside electricity and communication services.

Conflict Detection in Open RAN with Recurrent Neural Networks Using Geometric Manifolds

Allowing third-party applications on Radio Access Network (RAN) Intelligent Controllers (RICs) within the OpenRAN (O-RAN) framework introduces conflicting interactions that are often difficult to detect in advance. These conflicts, occurring between third-party applications in the Near RealTime RIC (Near-RT RIC), known as xApps, can lead to performance degradation and instability in O-RAN if not identified early. Existing conflict detection and mitigation solutions in the literature assume that the conflicts are known beforehand, which is not always accurate due to the complex and often hidden relationships between control parameters and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). In this paper, we propose a novel Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) to detect both known and unknown conflicts in O-RAN xApps as specified in the O-RAN standards. We model the xApps, control parameters, and KPIs with nodes and edges to create graph structures and use the hidden nonEuclidean geometric properties of the Riemannian manifold to train the RNN model. The performance of this proposed model is validated using evaluation metrics and compared with benchmarks. Results demonstrate that the proposed RNN model, leveraging Riemannian geometric properties, can achieve 100% of the F1-score provided by an optimal solution in just 20 iterations.
