In this survey, we discuss the role of energy in the design of future mobile networks and, in particular, we advocate and elaborate on the use of energy harvesting (EH) hardware as a means to decrease the environmental footprint of 5G…

Energy harvesting (EH), which explores renewable energy as a supplementary power source, is a promising 5G technology to support the huge energy demand of heterogeneous cellular networks (HCN). However, the random arrival of renewable…

The stringent requirements of a 1,000 times increase in data traffic and one millisecond round trip latency have made limiting the potentially tremendous ensuing energy consumption one of the most challenging problems for the design of the…

The design of self-sustainable base station (BS) deployments is addressed in this paper: BSs have energy harvesting and storage capabilities, they can use ambient energy to serve the local traffic or store it for later use. A dedicated…

A heterogeneous system, where small networks (e.g., small cell or WiFi) boost the system throughput under the umbrella of a large network (e.g., large cell), is a promising architecture for the 5G wireless communication networks, where…

Energy efficiency is at the core of sustainability solutions for 5/6G networks. We argue this is a too narrow perspective on sustainability, as it ignores the effects of the increased traffic demand these networks stimulate and the need for…

With small cell base stations (SBSs) densely deployed in addition to conventional macro base stations (MBSs), the heterogeneous cellular network (HCN) architecture can effectively boost network capacity. To support the huge power demand of…

Future wireless networks powered by renewable energy sources and storage systems (e.g., batteries) require energy-aware mechanisms to ensure stability in critical and high-demand scenarios. These include large-scale user gatherings,…

An important goal towards the design of Future Networks is to achieve the best ratio of performance to energy consumption and at the same time assure manageability. This paper presents a general problem formulation for Energy-Aware Traffic…

5G networks are expected to be highly energy efficient, with a 10 times lower consumption than today's systems. An effective way to achieve such a goal is to act on the backhaul network by controlling the nodes operational state and the…

The densification and expansion of wireless networks pose new challenges on energy efficiency. With a drastic increase of infrastructure nodes (e.g. ultra-dense deployment of small cells), the total energy consumption may easily exceed an…

The increasing number of Electric Vehicles (EVs) have led to rising energy demands which aggregates the burden on grid supply. A few solutions have been proposed to reduce grid load, for example, using storage systems for storing surplus…

Despite the growing necessity to make Internet greener, it is worth pointing out that energy-aware strategies to minimize network energy consumption must not undermine the normal network operation. In particular, two very important issues…

Electric vehicles (EVs) have been highly favoured as a future transportation mode in the transportation section in recent years. EVs have many advantages compared to traditional transportation, especially the environmental aspect. However,…

Consciousness of energy saving is increasing in fifth-generation (5G) wireless networks due to the high energy consumption issue. Energy harvesting technology is a possible appealing solution for ultimately prolonging the lifetime of…

Radio frequency (RF) energy harvesting and transfer techniques have recently become alternative methods to power the next generation of wireless networks. As this emerging technology enables proactive replenishment of wireless devices, it…

There has been a significant growth of variable renewable generation in the power grid today. However, the industry still uses deterministic optimization to model and solve the optimal power flow (OPF) problem for real-time generation…

We consider the problem of energy-efficient network management in 5G systems, where backhaul and fronthaul nodes have both networking and computational capabilities. We devise an optimization model accounting for the main features of 5G…

Energy harvesting (EH) based communication has raised great research interests due to its wide application and the feasibility of commercialization. In this paper, we consider wireless communications with EH constraints at the transmitter.…

The advancements in smart power grid and the advocation of ``green communications'' have inspired the wireless communication networks to harness energy from ambient environments and operate in an energy-efficient manner for economic and…
