dc.description.abstract | In recent years, concerns on energy consumption and greenhouse pollution due to the operation of
wireless devices have triggered a vast amount of research work on the so called green wireless technologies,
leading to new, energy-aware proposals. Even for the case of battery powered devices, where
energy conservation is a key design goal, new approaches have been proposed, based on a better understanding
of the cost-performance trade-offs introduced by energy efficient operation, while increasingly
focusing on emerging communication technologies, e.g., body sensor networks, MIMO, or LTE. This
paper presents a survey of the recent proposals for green wireless communications, with a view to understanding
the most relevant sources of inefficient energy consumption and how these are tackled by
current solutions. We introduce a classification of the existing mechanisms based on their operational
time-scale, discuss the most important techniques employed to date from this perspective, analyze
the employed evaluation methodologies and undertake a quantitative comparison of their performance
gains. Following this analysis, we identify the key challenges yet to be addressed by the research
community, as well as several possible future directions towards greener communications. | |
