D1.3 - Draft Functional Architecture

This document describes the "Draft Functional Architecture" developed by the project to address the growing environmental impact of the ICT sector, focusing on energy consumption and carbon footprint reduction. EXIGENCE takes an end-to-end approach, covering mobile networks (5G, 6G), cloud services, and end-user equipment. This deliverable outlines the architecture for monitoring, controlling, and optimising energy consumption and carbon impact across these domains. Key components include "EXIGENCE agents," modular elements responsible for energy monitoring and management within each domain. The document also defines how these agents interact to achieve cross-domain energy optimisation and communication. This architecture serves as input for further work in other project work packages (WP2, WP3, and WP4).
