Abstract :
We present a unified approach of top-down and bottom-up methods for estimating network energy consumption by introducing weighting factors for network areas, which allows accurate estimation of the absolute value and scaling at the same time. Applying this approach to Japan shows that introduction of optical cut-through will save energy by 20% in 2030.
