TitleGreen radio: radio techniques to enable energy-efficient wireless networks
AuthorsHan, C., Harrold, T., Armour, S., Krikidis, I., Videv, S., Grant, P., Haas, H., Thompson, J., Ku, I., Wang, C., Le, T., Nakhai, M., Zhang, J. and Hanzo, L.
Abstract

Recent analysis by manufacturers and network operators has shown that current wireless networks are not very energy efficient, particularly the base stations by which terminals access services from the network. In response to this observation the Mobile Virtual Centre of Excellence (VCE) Green Radio project was established in 2009 to establish how significant energy savings may be obtained in future wireless systems. This article discusses the technical background to the project and discusses models of current energy consumption in base station devices. It also describes some of the most promising research directions in reducing the energy consumption of future base stations.
