Improving the Energy Efficiency of Mobile Networks

This book provides analysis of the problem of high energy consumption of mobile networks and describes methods for improving the energy efficiency of mobile networks. It explores new technologies and strategies that will enable mobile networks to operate with less energy and become more sustainable while not compromising service quality. Improving the Energy Efficiency of Mobile Networks Strategies for 5G and 6G Technologies is designed to help readers understand how to optimize energy consumption in mobile networks. It explores technical solutions for reducing the energy consumption with a focus on innovative solutions such as network energy consumption optimization using artificial intelligence (AI) in the management of network resources, energy harvesting, software-defined networking (SDN), renewable energy sources and implementation of advanced techniques and protocols for improving the energy efficiency of mobile network. The book analyses how the integration of different advanced technologies, Network Function Virtualization (NFV), and Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) techniques, along with the implementation of Artificial Intelligence (AI), renewable energy sources and Energy Harvesting (EH), can contribute to the optimizing energy use of mobile networks, without compromising network performance. It offers an overview of concrete solutions, with an insight into future directions of development, which makes it particularly relevant at a time when industry is increasingly moving towards sustainability and the implementation of green technologies. This book is ideal for researchers, industry professionals and scholars who want to gain a deeper understanding of the excessive mobile network energy consumption and contribute to the development of energy-efficient, sustainable mobile networks.
