Provisioning Green Energy for Base Stations in Heterogeneous Networks
Tao Han, Nirwan Ansari
Cellular networks are among the major energy hoggers of communication networks, and their contributions to the global energy consumption increase rapidly due to the surges of data…
Network Utility Aware Traffic Loading Balancing in Backhaul-constrained Cache-enabled Small Cell Networks with Hybrid Power Supplies
Tao Han, Nirwan Ansari
Explosive data traffic growth leads to a continuous surge in capacity demands across mobile networks. In order to provision high network capacity, small cell base stations (SCBSs)…
A Traffic Load Balancing Framework for Software-defined Radio Access Networks Powered by Hybrid Energy Sources
Tao Han, Nirwan Ansari
Dramatic mobile data traffic growth has spurred a dense deployment of small cell base stations (SCBSs). Small cells enhance the spectrum efficiency and thus enlarge the capacity of…
On Green Energy Powered Cognitive Radio Networks
Xueqing Huang, Tao Han, Nirwan Ansari
Green energy powered cognitive radio (CR) network is capable of liberating the wireless access networks from spectral and energy constraints. The limitation of the spectrum is alle…
Multi-power-level Energy Saving Management for Passive Optical Networks
Mina Taheri, Nirwan Ansari
Environmental concerns have motivated network designers to further reduce energy consumption of access networks. This paper focuses on reducing energy consumption of Ethernet passi…
