Cellular access networks need to reduce their dependence on the grid, with the twofold
objective to decrease operational cost and guarantee self-sustainability in case of grid …

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 …

There is a growing awareness of the need to reduce carbon emissions from the operation of
mobile networks. The massive deployment of ultra-dense 5G and IoT networks will …

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

In this paper we study cellular access networks which solely rely on renewable energy. We
consider a cellular network in which a mesh of base stations (BSs) that are powered with …

In recent years a lot of research work was dedicated to energy efficiency in cellular networks.
An emerging field of interest in that direction is the use of renewable energy sources such as …

Photovoltaic systems are increasingly integrated into the low voltage (LV) distribution grid
and are particularly installed on buildings. This trend is expected to continue in the following …

The limited power requirements of new generations of base stations (BSs) make the use of
renewable energy sources, solar in particular, extremely attractive for mobile network …

We consider a solar power supply for a LTE macro base station (BS) based on a
photovoltaic (PV) panel and a battery, and we develop two discrete-time Markov chain …

Solar powered cellular base stations are emerging as a key solution in green cellular
networks. A major challenge in the design of such a base station (BS) is finding the optimal …
