Abstract:
This paper focuses on a significant research topic “green/energy efficient wireless networks” that has drawn huge attention due to important environmental, financial, and quality-of- experience (QoE) considerations. We mainly target energy efficiency in a heterogeneous wireless medium with overlapped coverage due to the co-existence of different cells (macro, micro, pico, and femto), networks (cellular networks, wireless local areas networks, wireless metropolitan area networks), and technologies (radio frequency (RF) and visible light communications (VLC)). This paper summarizes the authors’ research work in green networking via radio resource and network management solutions. First, we present green multi-homing radio resource management mechanisms in downlink and uplink for both RF and RF-VLC heterogeneous networks. These techniques can be adopted at high call traffic load conditions. Then, we present balanced dynamic planning framework that can be adopted at low call traffic load conditions.
