The commercial fifth-generation (5G) wireless communications networks have already been
deployed with the aim of providing high data rates. However, the rapid growth in the number …

Due to global climate change as well as economic concern of network operators, energy
consumption of the infrastructure of cellular networks, or “Green Cellular Networking,” has …

This work presents an estimation of the global electricity usage that can be ascribed to
Communication Technology (CT) between 2010 and 2030. The scope is three scenarios for …

In order to quantify the energy efficiency of a wireless network, the power consumption of the
entire system needs to be captured. In this article, the necessary extensions with respect to …

In order to meet the intense user demands, the 5G networks are evolving, and will be
available by 2020. The unfolding cellular technology has raised the energy consumption in …

Energy efficiency in cellular networks is a growing concern for cellular operators to not only
maintain profitability, but also to reduce the overall environment effects. This emerging trend …

In this paper, we investigate dynamic base station (BS) switching to reduce energy
consumption in wireless cellular networks. Specifically, we formulate a general energy …

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) use the unlicensed industrial, scientific, and medical
(ISM) band for transmissions. However, with the increasing usage and demand of these …

This paper studies the energy efficiency of the cloud radio access network (C-RAN),
specifically focusing on two fundamental and different downlink transmission strategies …

In the present scenario, an energy efficiency has become a matter of prime importance for
wireless networks. To meet the demands of an increased capacity, an improved data rate …
