Traditional macrocell networks are experiencing an upsurge of data traffic, and small-cells
are deployed to help offload the traffic from macrocells. Given the massive deployment of …

Real-time traffic in a cellular network varies over time and often shows tidal patterns, such as
the day/night traffic pattern. With this characteristic, we can reduce the energy consumption …

In the era of 5G networks, smaller cell infrastructure with denser deployment of various kinds
of base stations is leading the trend of the new generation of cellular networks. Benefits …

Dynamic planning has been used by network operators for energy saving by switching ON-
OFF base stations (BSs) according to the traffic load condition while providing quality-of …

Cellular networks are optimized by targeting multiple objectives. Usually, the different
objectives are not coherent: minimizing the transmit power; the number of base station (BS) …

Cellular operators are continuously densifying their networks to cope with the ever-
increasing capacity demand. Furthermore, an extreme densification phase for cellular …

In this paper we evaluate the energy efficiency of a 5G radio access network (RAN) based
on LTE technology when comparing two small cell deployment strategies to enhance the …
