Green communications has received much attention recently. For cellular networks, the base
stations (BSs) account for more than 50 percent of the energy consumption of the networks …

Switching off base stations (BSs) is an effective and efficient energy-saving solution for
green cellular networks. The previous works focus mainly on when to switch off BSs without …

Energy harvesting is a promising technique to reduce conventional grid energy
consumption, which caters for 5G visions on the green evolution of current cellular networks …

The energy consumption of mobile network infrastructures has been witnessed to rise
significantly in recent years due to the massive growth of mobile traffic triggered by the …

Dramatic mobile data traffic growth has spurred a dense deployment of small cell base
stations (SCBSs). Small cells enhance the spectrum efficiency and thus enlarge the capacity …

In this paper, we consider cellular networks powered by the smart grid (SG) and by local
renewable energy (RE) sources. While this configuration promises energy savings, usage of …

Cellular networks are among the biggest energy hogs of communication networks, and their
contributions to the global energy consumption rapidly increase due to the surge of data …

Considering the exponential increase in mobile traffic, requiring denser cellular access
networks, the use of renewable energy (RE) to power base stations (BSs) may contribute to …

In this paper, to minimize the on-grid energy cost in a large-scale green cellular network, we
jointly design the optimal base station (BS) ON/OFF operation policy and the on-grid energy …

Cellular base stations (BSs) are increasingly becoming equipped with renewable energy
generators to reduce operational expenditures and carbon footprint of wireless …
