In this paper, we investigate dynamic base station (BS) switching to reduce energy consumption in wireless cellular networks. Specifically, we formulate a general energy minimization problem… (More)
The operation of cellular network infrastructure incurs significant electrical energy consumption. From the perspective of cellular network operators, reducing this consumption is not only a matter… (More)
Reducing the energy consumption of cellular wireless access networks is not only beneficial for the global environment but also makes commercial sense for telecommunication operators. Since access… (More)
In this paper, a framework for evaluating the bit-error-rate (BER) performance of amplify-and-forward (AF) relay-assisted cooperative transmission is provided in the presence of imperfect channel… (More)
This letter presents a new full duplex relay (FDR) system that features more efficient use of time resource and antennas. The proposed FDR system is constructed based on time and antenna-sharing and… (More)
This paper develops an energy-aware hierarchical cell configuration framework that encompasses both deployment and operation in downlink cellular networks. Specifically, we first formulate a general… (More)
In spite of their potential to improve the performance of wireless communication systems, relay-based communication systems face significant challenges, resource wastage. In this article we discuss… (More)
This paper presents a new duplex approach which does not require guard resources suitable for indoor 2times2 MIMO environments. In the proposed duplex, two virtual channels in the spatial domain are… (More)
The ever-increasing traffic demand has motivated mobile operators to explore how they can boost their network capacity with a minimal increase in their capital and operating expenditures. In order to… (More)
