In this paper, we focus on reducing the on-grid energy consumption in heterogeneous radio
access networks (HetNets) supplied with hybrid power sources (grid and renewables). The …

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 …

With small cell base stations (SBSs) densely deployed in addition to conventional macro
base stations (MBSs), the heterogeneous cellular network (HCN) architecture can effectively …

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

Energy efficiency in cellular networks has gained great relevance due to the increasing
power supply demands in new generation heterogeneous network (HetNet). On the other …

The ever-increasing traffic demand has motivated mobile operators to explore how they can
boost their network capacity with a minimal increase in their capital and operating …

The increase of energy demand in cellular networks imposes big economic and ecological
challenges. Answering to these challenges requires complex energy frameworks that …

In this paper, the problem of energy efficiency in cellular heterogeneous networks (HetNets)
is investigated using radio resource and power management combined with the base station …

In this paper, we focus on the problem of planning heterogeneous cellular networks
powered by renewable energy sources, which are a good alternative for dealing with the …

The emerging fifth generation (5G) and beyond radio access networks are expected to be
extremely dense and heterogeneous as compared to the current networks, involving a large …
