We target the maximization of the operator profitability in a LTE cellular network with e-
NodeBs (eNBs) exploiting sleep mode power states. The profitability is composed of …

Because of the environmental policies that pursue a significant reduction of global
greenhouse gas and to the ambition of the network operators to keep under control …

One of the most promising techniques to drastically reduce the energy consumption of
cellular networks is the use of sleep-mode (SM) methods: when the traffic load is low, some …

Traffic-aware resource allocation and base station (BS) sleep control are key methods for
energy saving in cellular networks. In this paper, first, we consider the control problem of …

Energy efficiency aspects in cellular networks can significantly contribute to the reduction of
greenhouse gas emissions and help to save the environment. The base station (BS) …

We target the problem of managing the Base Stations (BSs) lifetime and their energy
efficiency when a sleep mode (SM) is adopted. We first show that the BS lifetime is affected …

This paper considers a cellular network with base stations (BSs) powered by heterogeneous
energy sources, ie, besides conventional BSs connected to the power grid, some BSs are …

In this paper, traffic-aware sleeping control (SC) and power matching (PM) of a single base
station (BS) in cellular networks are studied. The objective is to find the sleeping control and …

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) …

Energy efficiency and Quality of Service (QoS) are two important considerations for the
design and planning of cellular networks. One effective approach to handle the tradeoff …
