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 …

Three factors make power supply one of the most urgent and challenging issues for the
future of mobile networks. First, the expected fast growth of mobile traffic raises doubts about …

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 operators are increasingly turning toward renewable energy (RE) as an alternative
to using traditional electricity in order to reduce operational expenditure and carbon …

In the emerging hybrid electricity market, mobile network operators (MNOs) of cellular
networks can make day-ahead energy purchase commitments at low prices and real-time …

With the development of green energy technologies, base stations (BSs) can be readily
powered by green energy in order to reduce the on-grid power consumption, and …

On-grid brown energy consumption of cellular infrastructure is contributing to the detrimental
impact on the environment, among which base stations (BSs) are guzzling the largest …

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 …

Base stations equipped with resources to harvest renewable energy are not only
environment-friendly but can also reduce the grid energy consumed, thus bringing cost …

The energy cost of cellular networks is ever increasing to match the surge of wireless data
traffic, and savings in this cost is important to reduce the operational expenditure of wireless …
