Energy Efficient Architectures and Protocols for Beyond-4G Mobile Cellular Networks

用户对新的和新兴的无线服务的日益增长的被压抑的需求正在推动对下一代宽带（高容量）无线网络的需求，诸如第四代（超越4G）移动的蜂窝网络。然而，此类宽带无线网络的能源消耗正在成为一个严重问题，不仅是因为网络运营商的运营支出增加（由于当今能源成本不断上升），而且还因为二氧化碳（CO2）排放产生的相关环境影响，因为用于为无线网络基础设施供电的电力是由化石燃料产生的。提出的研究的主要目标是使下一代宽带移动的蜂窝网络节能，环保，经济可持续发展。

The increasing pent-up demand by users for new and emerging wireless services is driving the need for future generation broadband (high capacity) wireless networks, such as the Beyond-Fourth Generation (Beyond-4G) mobile cellular networks. However, the energy consumption of such broadband wireless networks is becoming a serious concern, not only because of increased operational expenditure to the network operators (due to the escalating cost of energy nowadays) but also in terms of the associated environmental impacts arising from carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, as the electricity used to power the wireless network infrastructure is generated by fossil fuels. The main goal of the proposed research is to make the future generation broadband mobile cellular networks energy efficient, to be environmentally friendly, and economically sustainable.
