Radio Access

One of the most representative challenges of multi-tier heterogeneous network architectures is the interference management among different Radio Access Technologies. In this sense, in order to achieve the potential increase on network capacity forecasted for 5G, the issue of interference must be addressed. Intelligent energy management, as proposed in the growing area of Green Communications could serve as an appealing solution to the interference issue. However developing an optimal energy management plan requires the understanding of the characteristics of 5G cellular networks that could be exploited to improve energy and resources efficiency. In this work we present a study about challenges in energy-efficient communications and technologies as enablers for green solutions and how this challenges can be extended to meet those of the 5G heterogeneous networks, in order to identify possible solutions to address the energy efficiency and interference mitigation issues.

The Impact

PurposeIf libraries truly want to be ecologically responsible, they need also to consider the impact of book and journal production on the environment. This paper seeks to address this issue.Design/methodology/approachThe methodology looks at energy consumption in journal production.FindingsElectronic publication does not produce a perfectly green product, but more of a dark green one with many aspects where energy costs could be saved. A genuinely ecologically friendly publication process requires conscious planning and determination.Originality/valueUsers can stop demanding paper as well as electronic copies, and can also choose more energy‐efficient hardware and energy sources.
