通过对比相似基站的能耗差异,自动识别移动网络中的低效站点。
A Peer-Relative Representation Learning Framework for Energy Inefficiency Identification in Mobile Network Sites

- 基于同类型基站能耗应相近的假设,构建相对能耗表示框架。
- 在嵌入空间中使高耗能异常站点远离同类邻居,提升识别精度。
- 无需标签即可发现潜在低效点,适合运营商大规模节能排查。
移动网络运营中能源消耗是主要运营成本之一,但故障冷却控制器、闲置射频设备和寄生辅助负载等站点级能效低下问题常因缺乏真实标签且历史数据已含偏差而难以发现。本文提出一种无监督的同伴相对学习框架,核心假设是结构与运行特征相似的站点应具有相近的能耗水平。为此,引入一种新型能量感知的最小畸变嵌入(MDE)公式,在标准MDE目标基础上加入基于能耗的排斥机制,促使相对于同类站点能耗异常偏高的站点在嵌入空间中被推离其邻域。该低维表示同时保留结构相似性并编码能耗偏离,支持通过同伴相对比较识别潜在低效站点。所得异常得分可作为现场调查的优先级依据,帮助运营商聚焦最可能实现节能的站点。实验表明,该方法优于传统异常检测基线,为移动网络大规模能效优化提供了稳健基础。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Energy consumption is one of the largest operational expenditure items for mobile network operators, yet site-level energy inefficiencies such as faulty cooling controllers, idle radio equipment, and parasitic auxiliary loads often remain undetected because no ground-truth inefficiency labels exist and historical measurements may already contain embedded inefficiencies. This study proposes an unsupervised peer-relative approach based on the premise that sites with similar structural and operational characteristics should exhibit comparable energy consumption. To capture these relationships, a novel energy-aware Minimum Distortion Embedding (MDE) formulation is introduced that extends the standard MDE objective with an energy-based repulsion mechanism. This encourages sites with anomalously high energy consumption relative to comparable peers to become displaced from their local neighbourhoods in the embedding space. The resulting low-dimensional representation simultaneously preserves structural similarity and encodes energy-related deviations, enabling the identification of potentially inefficient sites through peer-relative comparison. The derived anomaly scores provide a practical mechanism for prioritising field investigations, allowing mobile network operators to focus engineering resources on sites most likely to yield energy savings. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach outperforms conventional anomaly detection baselines and provides a robust foundation for large-scale energy-efficiency optimisation in mobile networks.
