While energy efficiency is an important issue in virtualized RAN due to its impact on OPEX, the centralization level of virtualized RAN functions is another relevant concern that can conflict with the former. In this paper, we introduce a bi-objective problem formulation representing these two objectives and solution strategy based on the epsilon-constraint approach to generate the minimal complete set of Pareto-optimal solutions. We investigate the trade-off between energy efficiency and centralization level in traditional and next-generation RAN topologies. We show scenarios allowing noticeable improvement in the centralization level (e.g., from near 10% to 30%) without impacting energy consumption. However, after a certain value of centralization level, the impact in the energy consumption may become high and hard to justify. (AU) | |
